Washing Clothes to Sup
port Children.

SAN JOSE. Calf. Sept. $50
Roscoe is charged with murder.
Il cannot but pity the poor boy.
1t was his money that did it. Too
much money went to his head"
This was the statement Of Mrs.
Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle. when she
learned of the plight Of the famous
film comedian.
He never had an education"
Mrs. Arbuckle continued. He never
passed the fifth grade in school. I'm
sorry for him. but if he is guilty he
should be punished"

daughters paused in her work Of
washing clothes for the best famil-
les Of San Jose" TO tell Of the early
life of the film star
His father mistreated him ter
ribly," she said. "Once I interfered
and saved him from what I believe
would have been a fatal beating at
the hands Of his father. But Roscoe
owed me nothing. I only did what
his mother would have done"
Refused Aid.
Some time ago when Mrs. Ar
buckle was sick. neighbors. against
her will, wrote the film star and
urged that he assist her. At that
time he was quoted as saying:
"Mollie Arbuckle never gave me
meal" This statement hurt Mrs.
Arbuckle more than the denial Of
aid.
For Harry and Arthur Arbuckle,
Roscoe's two brothers. their step
mother had nothing but praise.
They are as good men as ever
lived and they have done for me as
they would for their own mother, a"

must bear the shame Of their
brothers scandal"

departure was fastened by an in
junction from his brother Harry to

always seeks to reduce complexities
in his machine. Power is given
through concentration. Communities
today that, have chambers of COM
merce andy draw from them the
greatest efficiency, concentrate the
force and power of manhood and
wcmanhood of the community
through that organization upon CIV
en- objects. s
"The prosperity of cities. states,
and nations depends en- upon Ind individ
not resources. The story of the rise
and growth of communities in Min
nesota or any other state. is the re-
cital of how willing men were to
serve and to sacrifice, and how far
community spirit went in building
the various localities.
cit seems almost Incredible, bul
it is true, that Charleston, South
Carolina, four score years ago had
la greater tonnage coming into its
harbor than New York and Boston
combined. Equally difficult is 1t ia
realize that Los Angeles, California
States in population, held less than
10000 people a generation ago. Ac-
complishment and growth does not
depend upon locality and resource

How Communities Develop
Communities are not developed
by men who are seeking their owr
advantage over against the public
good. Unless there is a definite pa
trietism based on. pride in, and love
for the community. no city or town
can hope TO go far.
"But boosting r. not all that is
necessary for building city. There
must Re plan and program Here
again the Individual plays part
and heart, and hand. as we may
commonly call fhe intellect the sen
sibi]ities ard the will, city must
be built along these three founda

Investigation must be made OF

or agricultural. advantages there
may be at hand. To these the COM
munity through the Civic End Com
nerce association gives intelligent
attention and direction, but citizen

In the development of citizenship,
and therefore the increase Of the
community parks and Fairgrounds

dous influence on the morale OF

Building A City Means Service
Building a city means service. A
few can not do it alone, and IL the
institutions of the nation are to be
preserved, all of the people must
share proportionate responsibility.
Every man who is not a Stacker, if
he is able, should be a part Of the
Civic and Commerce Association Of
Mankato. The money that is con-
tributed does not meet the entire
obligation. The genius Of the individ

problems that the organization
meets. We of this generation cannot
quit, we must constantly toll in the
endeavor} to lead useful lives and
maintain the prosperity Of the com
munity, for in SO doing we build the
city and through it, develop the state
and make the nation really great. If
