STILL KNOW SONG NEED new CODE
Kansas Took Lead Once-Why
Not Once More?
Newspaper Ethics Need More
Revision Says Flint.

Kansas City, Kan, May S.-"Twelve
years ago the Kansas Editorial asso-
citation took the lead of all editorial
associations in the country by the
adoption of a formal code of ethics, -
said L. N. Flint. chairman of the de-
partment of journalism, University of
kansas, speaking before the Kansas
Editorial association in session at the
Chamber of Commerce here, follow
ing the session recently at the uni
versity.
To-day ten or a dozen state editorial
associations have followed the lead of
Kansas and adopted codes. The ad-
vantages of defining journalistic STAN
dards are also beginning to dawn on
the metropolitan editor as was shown
editor of a st. Louis newspaper had
called a national conference of editors
in cities Of more than 1000 popula-
ton for the purpose of defining pro-
fessional standards in Journalism.
kansas should now consider an
other step forward-a revision of the
code. w. E. Miller, of the St. Marys
Star, who wrote the original code and
secured its adoption by the Kansas
Editorial association, did a wonderful
job of pioneering. But in the twelve
years that have passed since that time.
great advancement has been made in
certain lines of newspaper practice.
particularly advertising.
THE Kansas code, for example.
says: We hold that the publisher
should in no degree be held RESPONSE
BILE for the statement of fact or opin-
ion found in an advertisement Cur
rent practice has advanced beyond this
point today, ~ot as matter of ethics
alone, but as a matter of sound busi-
ness judgment. Good business sense
when it comes to a question of news

Crowds at Santa Fe's Livestock
Train Sing "America."
Over $4,000 Persons Have Wis
tied Train So Far.

Great Bend, Kan, May S--The
Santa Fe-Agricultural college demon
stration train has developed the fact
that a great many people still remem-
ber most of the words of America,
which they learned during the world
war. Every meeting is opened with
My Country 'Tis Of Thee" led by a
local singer. In Great Bend this
morning Fred Hanger led the singing,
accompanied by the town band.
Mayor o. w. Dawson was on hand
to greet the train and make an ad-
dress of welcome. He said that the
COW, SOW and hen would put the
farming business back on a paying ba-
SIS and expressed the opinion that
farmers generally are ready to put
into practice the lessons taught by the
men from Manhattan.
The new Merritt-SchWier $3.50, 900
creamery and storage house here was
opened for business today, and after
the demonstration the farmers were
shown thru the plant. The creamery
has a storage capacity OF IL cars of
butter, IL cars of eggs ana six cars of
dressed poultry. Thirty thousand
chickens can be fed at the plant The
creamery mana cement, therefore, is
strong for the COW and the hen, and
has made arrangements to put on a
campaign of follow-up work.
The speakers are exploding the no.
ton held by many. farmers that the
college insists on everybody going in
for purebred livestock. That is not
what the movement is for. The plan
is to build up herds, droveS and flocks
by the use of purebred sires. The
speakers use grades as well as pure
breds for their demonstrations.
Twenty-seven meetings have been
held to date; total attendance, 1927,
mostly farmers. The average atten-
dance is 671.

which it now turns east. straight south
on Branner. Then they would have
Branner street on the ground level,
closed so as to compel the traffic TO
cross over the viaduct and abandon
the dangerous grade crossing among
the steel pillars.
Objection is found to this in that
the street car tracks which now go
east to Lake street, would have to be
abandoned, and relaid down Branner
street.
Fear For School Children.
Also in the fact that the Branner
school is located on Branner street,
and that the street cars, together
with the traffic already existing along
that street, would increase the dan
ger for the children attending school
there.
1t is the tentative opinion of the
city commissioners that the solution
of the problem is to leave the street
car tracks on the viaduct as it now
exists, and to build another wing,
from the turn on Branner street,
straight south on Branner street.
This would make two separate ap-
proaches to the structure, one coming
from the east and Lake street. parallel
to East Second street, and the other
from the south on Branner street.
With the new wing completed, the
commissioners would be willing to
duct and close it, compelling traffic
to use the structure and abandon the
grade crossing of the Santa -Fe tracks.
The commissioners will, in the near
future, visit the viaduct in a body,
and will consult the officials of the
two companies concerned. as to the
best way out of the difficulty.

VIaduct Is Not Used.
The Branner street traffic never

vehicles and automobiles follow the
grade level, cross the Santa Fe tracks

among the steel pillars which support
the viaduct. The dangerous condi-
tions which exist there are well
known.
The viaduct is in so bad a state of
repair that it is said to be impossible
to drive a motor car across it, even
if the driver was willing to detour
two blocks to the east, to Lake street,
in order to get on the viaduct, which

dentifrice called Pepsodent which you
are urged to test.
Multiplies two forces

Pepsodent brings two other effects
which authorities now desire.
The saliva contains two great tooth
protecting forces. One is a starch di-
gestant, to digest starch deposits on
teeth. The other is alkali, to neutralize
mouth acids, which attack the teeth.
These forces usually need frequent
stimulation. Certain foods will stirnu-
late them, but most people fail to eat
these regularly.
Pepsodent, with every use, nultiplies
those tooth-protecting forces in the
mouth. 1t largely increases the starch
digestant and the alkalis. Thus night
and morning it gives these natural
forces a multiplied effect.
That alone marks tremendous prog
ress toward better tooth protection.

Where Do You Bank?

MY father and I hank there said a
boy indicating our bank building with
a nod Of bis head as he and a friend
passed BY.
The boy may have been fifteen but he
had learned one thing that many men
and women learn only through bitter
experience and some Of them not at
all. He had learned the value Of a
bank account.
Many people are teaching their chill
dren the Importance of saving money
by opening savings accounts for them
in our savings department, and then
encouraging the regular saving Of
small amounts.
In many instances we have on our
books the names of representatives of
three generationsa good testimony
to the value Of saving and of the re-
gard in which The Montpelier Savings
Bank and Trust Company of Montpel-
Ter, Vermont, is held.
If your boy or girl does not now have
an account here why not open one
now Then see that as small savings
accumulate they are deposited so that
they will earn interest.
