Coulon's master punch" which laid
Juliard low. The account of the bat

The European scribe gives Coulon due
credit for his victory and writes the
story in way that is novel to Ameri-

Well! Well! Well and a score more
OF wells, will not do away with the fact
that Johnny electrified everybody on
this night. He brought out a veritable
pearl of punch, and Champion Juliard
went out like candle. Gee, what a
lovely wallop! The French boy was
too confident after his first round sue

with those of the farm. There were no electric lights or telephones in the city, either; streets were muddy and unkempt; employment was apt to be uncertain and wages were comparatively low. Farmers were at least as well situated as their city cousins, although then as now the work was back-breaking and it's rewards uncertain.

GOLD MINERS MUST BE HELPED

A great deal has been written for and against the McFadden bill which proposes tax of 5000 an ounce for all gold used for other than none tary purposes. From the sum thus collected the government would pay gold miners 5000 an ounce to help cover the greatly increased cost of production and thus encourage gold mining which is now declining at a rapid rate-25 per cent in past four years.
 Theoretical discussion from eco. homie standpoints relative to this measure does not produce gold and so far the McFadden bill seems to offer the only immediate relief for the miner.
 The McFadden bill does not change or interfere in any way with our standards of value, money ol currency. It simply imposes a tax on gold used for manufacturing pur poses some method must be devised which will enable gold producer to operate at profit under present conditions
 The gold mining industry will be completely shut down unless con structive aid is provided without de lay, in which event it will take years to develop normal output of gold at a very much greater expense. Tc allow the the gold mines of the Unit ed States to cave in and fill with water entails waste of developed gold resources, which in most critical hour of financial need will cause want. No argument can be made in favor of waste The time to act is now before the industry is shut down.

THEY WANT THEIR SHARE

The answer to the question, "Why do young men leave the farm?' may not after all be found in the state ment that it is because social life" is so utterly lacking. Growing sus- picion that the material rewards of agriculture, by comparison with those in other pursuits, may come nearer to furnishing the real reason. For example, a writer in the Outlook, himself the son of a farmer but now living in town, summarizes the yield of the 1G0-acre farm on which he was reared, and on which his father and he and his brothers toiled, and discovers that, in fav orable season, they might expect a gross income of about $4,000, from which there were to be deducted $2,650 in expenses (including labor cost and interest on investment), ;, leaving a profit of $1,350 for the work of the whole season. There were years when the profit was greater, but not infrequently "a dry season threatened to take away everything we had"
 The mater of compensation, this writer and some others seem to be- lieve, is the real issue. That the social side of farm life will largely regulate itself, if incentive of other sorts are not lacking, is beginning to be suspected by a new school of investigators. There was," says one of these, ''plenty of real sociability on the farm in the pioneer days, when people were without good roads, rural mail delivery, telephones or even easily-accessible school houses" The barn-raising, which de- veloped the sense of cooperation, also fostered the social aspect of rural life. ~ The husking bee was another community institution The point sought to be made by these students of rural sociology is that in community of Americans that is relatively prosperous, way will be found for sociabiliay" without off cious meddling from the outside.
 But the towns did not, then af. ford advantages greatly in contrast

LONELINESS OF A DEMOCRAT

The education results in New Jer- sey are notable for situation which is without parallel in the history of the legislature of that state. One lone Democrat, who has succeeded in getting elected to the assembly, is Harry Runyon, of Warren county. The smallest previous minority was in 1914, when the Democrats had fourteen members in the assembly.
 Mr. Runyon defeated John H.. Hoyt, Republican.
 Under normal legislative proceed ure, MT. Runyon is entitled to be- come minority member of every committee of the House. It will be his duty as the only Democrat in the House to nominate a candidate for speaker.
 In the state senate a similar situa- tion will prevail. Only one Demo- cratic candidate was elected. He was Thomas Barber, also of Warren county.
 The county which the assembly, man and senator will represent is one of the middle-belt counties, and with Hunterdon, which adioins, is known as the most stalwart Demo- cratic county in New Jersey, yet it has gone for Harding It embraces a rural community, and is not very populous, and probably never has elected a Republican.

"THE SQUAW MAN'' HAS WE'LL BALANCED CAST
 OF SCREEN ARTISTS

Someone has said that in order to successfully entertain the public, the dramatist must make them laugh make them wait-make them cry "The Squaw Man" does all of these things. It may be described as a drama without frills. It has no purpose" beyond entertainment, and the attainment of dramatic perfec- tion; it is not dependent upon some one sensational "stunt" or feature for it's popularity. It divides up the importance .of role among many play CTS, and it is unquestionably pos sessed of true human interest, hu- nor, pathos and charm in marked degree.
 A superb cast has been chosen for its presentation-E1liot Dexter, whose work is masterly throughout; Ann Little as Naturich, the Indian maiden gives wonderful interpreta- tion, marked by excellence in make up, quality of acting and expression and sincerity; Katherine Macdonald, one of the most beautiful women of the screen, who as Diana, an aristo, cratic English woman, finds full play for her charm of manner, her queenly bearing and perfection of face and form. Theodore Roberts as Big Bill is one of the most finished artists of screen or stage, while Jack Hold in the heavy role of Cash Hawkins, villain, offers a most convincing characterization. Many other familiar names appear in the cast, each of the players especially chosen for type.
 "The Squaw Man." playing tonight at the Empress, will fulfill your highest anticipations in the way of good entertainment.

THINGS WE THINK Things Others Think and What We Think of the Things Others Think.

Nobody can disgrace you but your self
 In spite of prohibition a tight wad" still remains tight"
 You wouldn't fish without bait why wish without work?
 Liquor used to make the world go round. Now only love does.
 You will notice that most tight wads are not tight with themselves.
 Greatness at close range is just old furniture with a coat of new yarnish.
 There is one price that will never fall-the price of an egotist's self esteem.
 Charity to yourself suggests that you speak well of others, even when you don't wish to.
 Marriage is a great leveler. It lev els suitable income for one to an unsuitable income for two.
 "A poet is born, not made" we are informed, but amateur poets should make it a practice never to be born.
 Sometimes I think homes were created in order that humble men may have some place in which to be kings.
 At twenty he thinks there is only one girl in all the world, but if he lives to be thirty he knows there are millions of 'em.

 There is a kind of man, not many of him, it is true, who is so anxious to give everybody fair deal that he overlooks himself until it's too late. A beautiful though for today If you would win l. life's handicap, play work" three ways across the board, and play Tuck" only as a 100-to-1 shot.
