SPRING VANDALISM.

In New York, on recent Sunday,
when fine weather brought great throngs
out to Central and Prospect parks. 700
people were arrested for mutilating trees
and shrubs and flower beds. The parks
were described as scenes of devastation
after those crowds had gone. Trees were
broken down, shrubs were crushed and
trampled and great masses of perennial
flowers were destroyed.
1t seems strange. One might suppose
that scenes of vernal beauty would in
spire people to admiration and respect
rather than vandalism. Yet the dis
graceful scenes reported from New York
are repeated on smaller scale in al
most any community in America, every
spring. People who would never think
of devastating their own yards or those
of their next-door neighbors think moth
ing, apparently, of devastating those
which belong to the whole community
and which it is therefore really to their
interest to preserve. If they do not Gull

IMPORTANT NEWS.

Golfers Weekly tells of an experiment
it made lately to determine the sort of
news given precedence in daily papers.
1t took what it considers four good, typ
ical American newspapers" and meas
ured the inches of space each of them
gave on three consecutive days to the
various kinds of news. The daily aver
age for the whole four was as follows:
Sports and fun, 81 inches.
Women's pages fashions, cooking
children), 135.
Government federal, state and city,
12j.
Business. 40.
Foreign affairs, 104.
Crime 60.
Music and drama, Al.
Bigamy and divorce, 40.
Prohibition, 27.
Society, Il.
Labor and wages, 10.
This table will repay study. by news
paper readers as wei as newspaper edi-
tors Few readers, perhaps, have ever
observed that the large American newspa-
pers give more than twice as much space
to sports as to any other kind of news, or
that they give more space TO women's af-
fairs than to politics and government.
There is a surprise in the crime news,
too. 1t is a sort of tradition among
readers that the papers are always
chuck full of crime stories" Yet this
list, prepared in time when crime is
considered especially rampant, gives
more than twice as much space to wo-
mems and childrens departments as it
does to crimes of all kinds. The So
ciety space seems surprisingly small, and
the labor space stiIl more so.
This table arouses once more the old
questions. What is news?" and What
is importantly" 1t is generally accepted
that news is what the readers want to
read. and the proportionate space given
to the various kinds of news no doubt
roughly matches the demand. The pa
pers give the public, in n general way
what it seems to want. There is no Other
way to publish a newspaper, because
otherwise the people would not read it
and a readerIess paper would soon die
But there is more room for argument
about the other question, What is i'm
portant?" Can it be really true that
sports and fun are 30 times as important
as labor and wages?
\ proper sense of values might turf
that table upside down. But who would
read 321 inches of news about labor?

who had given him the liniment in which
he said: II feel very grateful to you for
having directed my attention to that justly
celebrated liniment called Mysterious Pain

liniment. and the people who have bene-
fitted by it, thinking there was something
mysterious about it came to know il by
that name Mysterious ] don't wonder.
The way il takes the pain out certainly
seems mysterious. | never heard of any
thing like it. My ankle was so sore and
painful that / could scarcely step on it
and could not do my regular days work.
which. as you know, requires constant
foot work in using the brake and clutch
pedals of automobiles. When l first ap-
piled the liniment my ankle was so painful
| could scarcely bear the slightest pressure
upon it. / was hardly able to limp
around. yet, within 20 minutes the pain
was gone, and | was able to drive a car
more than 100 miles that day. Soon the
swelling went down, and | was as well
as ever. / cannot recommend it too
highly. Since using it | have talked with
number Of people about it in this section
and | find the liniment is quite well known
and people are using it for the relief of
pain caused by sprains. rheumatism. and
also headaches. Mysterious Pain Ease is
certainly a blessing to those who suffer
any pain and | am very grateful to you
for having told me about it.

The Carnival This Seasone
st. Iohnshnry Caledonian. J

NNI. JONnSDWfN aleuOnlan.@
What is going to be the policy Of Yer
mont cities and towns in regard to carni-
walls this summer? With the snow hardly
off the ground the tented shows that bring
nothing but filth, immortality and pink
lemonade to n town arc fiocking' into New
England from all directions They have
nothing TO commend themselves To any
community. Is il safe for our business in
terests in these dubious times to allow
these travelling shows 10 come into town
and walk off with from $1,000 To $4,000
with practically nothing left in return
Can we afford this luxury this year? It's
up to the chambers of commerce. boards
of trade and city and town officials to eS-
tabliSh some fixed policy and action can
not be taken too soon.
Here are a few phases of the question
for our business men and public officials
TO consider:
Why should YOU permit an aggregation
to come into this town and take all of this
money out of it?
DO you know that the carnival brings
along its own meats and groceries, 50
that even the grocers and the butchers
do not benefit?
Do You know that even the hotels and
boarding houses get no business, since the
performers sleep usually in the tents or
cars of the carnival company
You are churchmcn-why do you not
take Il stand against young men being
filched of their money in stacked card
games and against young girls being de-
bauched by sideshows?
In Pennsylvania they have solved the
problem of caruivals by the tax method.
The charters of cities and towns give
the city or town officials the power to tax
or license all travelling shows.
For instance i'm Hazleton, Pa, the fee
per tent is 500 per day. This includes
ica cream tents, lemonade booths. the
bearded lady. dancing girls, the dog show.
the trained ponies, snake charmer and all
the rest. Every tent must come across
with 500 a day or 5000 a week if they
want a license to do business. The aver
age aggregation has from - to - tents.
The license fee for a carnival would
be from $4,000 to $4,000, and since this
must be planked down at arrival before a
tent-peg can be driven. no manager in his
senses would pay out that sum in advance
to do business in a community whose adj
Ininistration is professedly so hostile
since he would face a strict supervision of
the gambling tents and the "men only
shows of most antagonistic character
The manager says, as he did al Hazleton.
Why, YOU are charging fees that will
