NEWS FIT TO PRINT.

NEWS FIT TO PRINT.
An ironical axiom has it that every
one is capable OF conducting a news
paper except the men who have given
their lives to that task. Certainly no
thinking man lives who at some time
has not expressed a desire TO edit a
paper, il only for a day. Generally
that wish is father TO the thought
that newspapers should publish more
constructive reports, and give less
space TO sensational happenings. This
is laudable ambition. and no one
has more of it than your average
newspaper man himself. who prays
that the time may come when news
papers viii be endowed by some deity
SO that they will not have to produce
circulation and advertising in order
10 keep several laps ahead Of the
sheriff.
In an editorial published yester-
day. the New York Times gives its
views on the printing of news WHICH
IS other than constructive. Those
views delve into the depths Of this
subject 50 accurately, and voice SO thor
oughly the ideas and ideals Of many
newspaper offices, that we take the
liberty to reprint them here for the
beneht Of our interested readers:
in an earlier day. in other lands
TO some extent in this day. few news
papers concern themselves almost
solely with the relation of man to man
in large organized masses, Of States
and governments and parties with
each other. The relation Of men as
individuals now gets some share OF
attention, a share that is reasonable
or disproporuonate according TO the
character of the paper and the class
it seeks TO attract. This means that
a great deal of news that our grand
fathers would have considered triv-
ial now finds its way into print. There
is justification. In the first place.
it is an undeniable truth that there
is an essential interest in every human
life; moreover, there is nothing in the
world of keener and more immediate
behavior of other men and women.
In providing for its readers a certain
volume of news about men and women,
some straying from the path as hu-
mans will, some keeping to the narrow
way, newspaper is within its legiti-
mate field in this day and generation. /
News of this nature, human interest

a considerable number of read |
ers who are not primarily wrapped /
up in the sterner business of the world,
and il should be borne in mind that |
without a large circulation, and the |
business revenue resulting therefrom, I
a newspaper would not be able to bear
the cost of collecting and printing /
the news for the seriously inclined I
from all lands washed by the waters /
of the seven seas. More than that,
even the reader Of lighter taste may
derive some information and casual
benefit from the news reports of
larger moment which he cannot alto
gether overlook in turning over the
pages of his paper-and so its edu-
cational value inures to the benefit
Of a larger circle"

EVE IA TALLIERE.

Paris has always had a reigning
queen Of tho boulevards. before whose
love shrine men Of power. wealth
fashion and wit have bent the knee
Each has come from the nowhere into

But when the winds Of adversely and
age blow one into the flame she
disappears forever. and another, pre-
destined TO the same fate, takes her
place.
Where do they so, those enchant-
resses OF other days? This is a ques-
ton which is seldom answered. The
rogue ViIlon, deep in his cups in med
ieval Paris, asked it when he cried,
Where are the SHOWS Of yester-
year?
Occasionally, some perfumed and

And forgetfulness of the spectre of
the past is purchased with gold But
more often when the queen relin-
quishes her titles she is never seen
again.
From 1912 10 1917 no lovelier pas
sion flower paraded the Champs d
Elysees than Eve La Valliere, a girl
of uaknown past who had taken the
name of Louis XIV's noted friend.
Many foreign princelings, who osten-
sibly were studying in Paris, but who
really enjoyed its freedom, paid court
to her. It is even whispered that
several men with families fought duels
on the banks of the Seine at dawn
because Of her smiles.
Eve went on the stage, and added
to her retinue those untold thousands
who could never hope to kiss her hand,
but who were content TO worship from
afar. The charms of her drawing
room were transposed TO footlights,
and no more clever actress held the
eye in those days before the world
went mad. To hear Eve sing the role
of lie Petit Duc"-her favorite piece
was an event.
Then came war. Eve did more than
her share. She quit the stage, and
went into the hospitals. where she
took under her wing many a lonesome
"blesse." The woman who once had
sung the naughty chansons of Mont
martre now was chanting the Mar

forget with "Madelon."
In 1917 it was rumored by the
flaneurs that Eve would never be
seen among them again. She was
known to have sold her jewels so that
she might devote the proceeds to the
care of her soldiers. Then it was said
that Eve had foresworn the ways Of
the world and the paths of the devil.
and was going TO enter a Carmelite
convent. The war dragged on--and
when peace was signed Eve disap-
peared even from the sight Of the
men whom she had been tending.
Months passed, and she was all but
forgot.

 Our hen houses are arranged so that the White Leghorns occupy one side of the house and the Rhode Island Reds the other" MT. Brewer said They are like some people they can't live together happily and are better off separated. It is tho same way in the yard wire netting separates the two families. We feed our chickens with laying mash which is supposed to contain green ingredients answering to grass and other vegetation" MT. Brewer told me, while we fgiye them corn only once day. This is the mott ing season-and during that time we have fed them growing mash Chick ems are just like human beings they require certain kinds of food for certain things and susceptible to the weather and food and climatic changes just as people are. It is very interesting thing-as Mrs. Brewer and I have found out and ems has not only given us recreation, but an insight into an industry which has always appealed to both of us.

 Our chicken houses are modern and up to date and equipped with all the latest devices" said MT. Brewer and are modelled after the chicken houses at the Alabama Leghorn farms. They are well ventilated and as spic and span in neatness as any bedy's parlor-and every attention is given to our chickens just like they were human beings.
 We have not gone into the chicken raising business for gain," MT. Brewer said but merely for the pleasure of 1t and for our own home consumption. We have never sold a chicken or an egg but have utilized them on our own table and at all times have had the greatest quantity of chickens and eggs. We expect to enlarge our chicken industry the coming year by the addition of more spacious hen houses and we have al- ready started this by purchasing half dozen Rhode Island Reds. These chickens are noted for being splendid mothers-while the White Leghorns of course are not as famed for their domestic qualities. We wanted the Rhode Island Reds because they set and we do not have to use incubators

 Germany and Austria
By Associated Press

Washington. September 20.-An- nouncement from the White House today that the new peace treaty with Germany, Austria and Hungary would be transmitted tomorrow to the Senate was followed by information that they would encounter opposi- tion from several republicans as well as some democrats.
 Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, who began the battle against the treaty of Versailles, is planning to wage fight against ratification of the new treaties and is said to have assurances of support from a few republicans and some democrats who were foremost among the critics of tho Versailles treaty.
 Despite the promises of opposition administration leaders In the Sem ate said tonight they were confl- dent of early ratification and the opponents did not express much hope or overcoming the administration support combined with the democrats who already have declared for rati- fication.
 Senator Borah, 1t is understood, is against the new treaties, because, it IS said, he believes that they would involve the United States in Euro pean problems and diplomacy. He also Is said to object to opposed ap- pointment of an American representa- tive on the allied separations commis. sion. The plan and practice of man. dates also was said to meet with senator Borah's disapproval

Chicken Raising on City Lots

1T r anybody ever tells you that the
 reason there Is so little inter S est in raising chickens when you live in city because only a small town lot offers you an oppor- tunity for Ebch an enterprise, just drop in and talk to Mir and Mrs. ercy Brower-- who have proven con clusiyely that this isn't the case.
 On their pretty home site out in Mountain rerraee-they have sue eessfuHy established a chicken farm their back yard utilized for the purpose-being about 40N60 feet in his small enclosure neighbors peep the ground covered with the dozens Of high bred chickens running hither and thither over the eXpanse.
 White L-eghorns," and Rhode ls- land Reds are the chickens which have been such satisfactory experi- ments with MT. and Mrs. Brower- W ho started only few months ago With their chicken industry-Just for the mere love of lt--and more especially for the convenience of it since by starting their chicken farm they have always been able to ob- tain fresh laid eggs and "fryers and "broilers" without having 10 depend upon the high cost of such commodi- ties in the markets.
 Accordingly-the chicken farm on the small city lot-for while the Browers home site is much larger than many others--it is still a city lot, and has it's limitations-was started early last spring.
 MT. Brewer is quite an enthusiast on the subject of his chicken farm declaring when talking to me about 1t yesterday that he had thoroughly enjoyed the experiment. and saw no why any chicken Y lciar who desires to raise chinc~~ in small quantities Couldn't s.-~assfully do so on small city lot
 Mrs. Brewer and I vent out to the Alabama Leghorn farms near Mulga and inquired ints tl,e why's and wherefores of the game Ax d the result was that We decided to las Mir. Trucks furnish our hen houses as soon as we could build them. We at once went to work to plan our chicken houses, which have a splendid south ern exposure as well as an eastern exposure which lets in the rising sun and makes the chickens get up early, all of which is conductive to healthfulness and egg laying.
 As soon as we equipped our chicken houses we got twenty beau tiful Leghorns from the Alabama Leghorn farms and started our chicken yard" MT. Brewer said.

 Unemployment Meeting

 Washington, September 20.-Secre- of the administration at the opening of the national unemployment con- ference which President Harding has asked to meet here on Monday, 1t was indicated today at the White House. The President, it was stated officially would not address the initial meeting of the conference.
 Unemployment. it was said in ad- ministration circles, came in for some discussion at the meeting of the cabinet today at which the gener- al problem of business revival throughout the country was under consideration. Ways and means for aiding the economic readJustment of the nation were said to have been discussed at length with the Presi- dent.
 In connection with the return of the country's business and com merce to normal sought by the ad- ministration, 1t was suggested in off, ficial circles that the coming unem- ployment conference might seek to frame recommendations for the sta- obligation of industry generally. For titled by the expert advice of econo- mists who are to assist it's delibera- tions, the conference, it was assert ed, might in addition to the problem of the stabilization of employment inquire into the stabilization of the dollar, labor, material and material handling and equipment, including the railroad problem.
 While the final scope of the con- ference's studies is yet to be deter mined, 1t was declared that the con- ferees could be expected to consider remedies necessary for the return to normal of the various component parts of normal national industry,
