Welcome Mr.. Cobb

TT Is A o o SIGN of the times when a young
L man of the high character Of w. b. Coop an
nounces himself for public office. It means that the
younger generation is awakening to the necessity OF
taking a hand in n game that the older and supposedly
wiser generation has so frequently -paued up anu
which needs an occasional bath Of deceney.
Mr.. Cobb is the type of man who enters public me
from no selfish motives. He has ideals, and ABILITY
and persistence and patience to work them out Inc
Republican party is the fit vehicle through which to
express these ideals for the public good; and the
pl-ty welcomes Mr.. Cobb to the forefront Just as 1t
viii all outstanding young men of his kind VINO onng
with their ambitions the equipment Of high character
unsulIied reputation and +he desire to serve the pub
lie good
There could be no more hopeful event occur tnan
that all the public offices of Natroua county be filled
with bright. active and sincere young men OF the Cobb
type.

which will be shown at the KenWOrthy
theatre Monday and Tuesday This
story was not only written by Mr.
and Mrs. George Randolph Chester
gut was produced under their person
al supervision and every member of
the cast selected according to their
ideals.
Blackie Daw, who is world renowned
in fiction and who is partner of j.
Rufus Wallingford, otherwise known
as Get-Rich- Quick WalingfOrd, is the
sauve and oily type Mr.. Webb was
selected out of fifty four well known
actors considered for the role. He
won the part not only because he was
best suited, but because of his splendid
performance in BLACK Beauty, which
underwent the heaviest first run book
ing ever recorded for Vitagraph pro-
duction. Physically, he is the living
embodiment of the part and, like Will
frid North, who plays the part of j.
Rufus Wallingford, might have been
the model for the famous Wallingford
stories as illustrated in the magazines
in which they appeared.
George Webb has been one of the
best known actors in pictures for
years. He has played in many of the
Thomas ]. Ince features of the past
two years and has appeared with W
S. Hart, Charles Ray and Hobart Bos-
worth, each time in leading roles.
AS there are many comedy touches
in the role of the notorious but lovable
Blackie Daw, it is expected that Mr..
Webb will exceed all his previous eff

smallest brown bird to the giant bears
that growl from darkened caves has

for which they will battle to the

What will that home mean to your
wife? Is it hard to see? Put the

Sane FOURTH

Last February we prepared a circu-
lar letter addressed to wholesale and
retail dealers in fireworks, advising
them of the state regulations govern
ing the storage of the same.
These letters were sent not only to
such dealers, but also to the papers
of the state and received wide public
ity. An extra supply was sent to each
fire chief for distribution among local
dealers. Many commercial clubs also
sent copies to their members.
This advice was sent out early to
head off purchasing of stocks which
could not be handled and stored le-
gally. Every dealer certainly should
| be familiar with these regulations, in
force since September l, 1918, and ig-
norance cannot be accepted as an ex-
cuse for any violation this wear.
The regulation is as fol- IS:
'Order 6095. No fire crackers. rock
cts, torpedoes, Roman candles, bombs
or other fireworks, and no pistols, can
mons, explosive canes, blank cartridg-
es, or other similar appliances or dis
plays, shall be stored in place nearer
than 200 feet from neighboring build
| ing, except wholesale storage in orig
inal packages. Such fireworks, ap-
pliances, or displays except rockets
and Roman Candles, shall not be dis
charged, fired, or used within 200 feet
from any building. No rockets or Ro-
man candles shall be discharged with
in 500 feet from any building. This
order shall not apply to fireworks dis
plays made under the direction of
town or municipal authorities, provid-
ed the same do not violate the pro-
visions of Section 4398f of the stat
utes, and provided further that no
fire balloons shall be stored or used |
under any circumstances"
The only kinds of fireworks not |
covered by above regulations are
sparklers, colored fire as used in tab
leou work and torpedoes, such as used
by railroad men.
All other fireworks can only be kept, |
stored and displayed in a building
which is at least 200 feet from any
other building.
Deaths, injuries and destruction of |
property in former years, due to in
discriminate storage and use of fire |
works fully show the wisdom of this
regulation.
A Sane Fourth does not mean a life
less, uninteresting patriotic day. Noise
does not mean patriotism.
Picnics, pageants, parades, baseball, |
band concerts and other games, a.
musements and exercises, planned in
advance by some civic body, are quite
promote patriotism than meaningless
noise.
1t is the duty of local police officials
to enforce this regulation and local
ordinance on the subject.
Public celebrations should be held
in parks or other places away from
buildings, and the discharging of fire
works should be in charge of adults.
We trust it will not be necessary
this year to bring any action for vio-
lat on of above regulation.

It is to be presumed-in the United

your wife because you loved her, she
gave herself to you without ques-

you told her the truth when you
entered the life long partnership.
She believed then, and she believes
now, that your love will find express
sion not only in words but in deeds.
That you will do all that is human
ly possible to make her happy, to
keep her in health, to make her
motherhood, if such should come,
a glory.
Have you done that? Have you
kept your part of the agreement that
is just as binding whether it was ex-
pressed in words or only in infer
ence? You have sheltered her, fed
her, clothed her. Is that all you1
duty? You have taken out insur-

the needed things of life but some OF
