N Il AN BLAlSDELL6 . SmarI seQdn
MI stopped in front Of the Lind
says wee stucco house one
rainy November morning.
Nan. who usually referred to herself
as frank, fat and more'n forty" ran
up the path as lightly as girl. with
stolid, middle-aged woman Juggling
two suit cases trailing in the rear.
Merriam Lindsay. pink-cheeked and
pink nk-pinafored from kitchen duty,
opened the door with a delighted cry
Of welcome.
How nice of you to surprise mel"
How nice Of you to be surprised!
Nan laughed. as she turned to intro
duce the sto1id person. This is susan
Sue. maybe you remember seeing her
7 do. n your upstairs hall. Sew
well. she is going to sit in your
upstairs hall" Nan was casually dof-
ffng her hat. "Take off your things,
day" She turned to her mystified
hostess. Susan and I cleaned attic
yesterday and found a trunk full of
things-baby things"-she pinched
Merriam's cheek.
Man. you old peach" Merry's brown
so 1 brought some along and Susan
Sue-and-my button box! And a box
for you to begin your button box-for
l do think a button box is regular
emotional orgy-lots more fun than a
sob matinee. Only trouble is I've had
mine SO long-ever since I knew my
first baby was coming-that I'm not
to be trusted with it. I open it to
dig out a glove button and sit to
drip tears over big blue COB that
came off Halls first REFER the day he
was almost drowned in the park lake.
And then 1 find a tesnsy dab from
Poily's first bib-oh. If it weren't for
Susan Sue there'd never be a button
sewed on at our house. I'm too SEN
timental to sew"
Her brusque. matroniy air of com
mand left Merriam no choice. She
stationed Susan Sue in a low crock
ing chair in Merria ms bedroom and
went back downstairs to the kitchen
with her diminutive hostess.
Merriam had murmured something
entered. but her visitor was quite un-
prepared for the tremendous number
Of panfuls that were cooling in the
pantry.
You see." Merriam was half apollo
getic, half defiant. what John earns
ing fudge to get along"
Bully for you." enthused Nan. lis
tening sympathetically to Merriam's S
chatter about the boys school, where
she was selling her fudge. But when
Merriam was not watching Mrs.
Blaisdell cast a worried glance at
the tired-looking shadows under Mer-
RAMS eyes. She pretended to nibble
fudge unconcernedly, but she was
really playing notwithstanding ou:
exactly how much Merrys fudge profits
We're.
She waited until they were linger-
ing over their imprompptu dessert at
luncheon before she made much COM
ment. Susan Sue was washing dishes
in the wee kitchen as unconcernedly

creasingly important force and the
editorial page is coraing into new
position of Importance that ap-
proaches that which it held in former
years.
Not the least important part of the
newspaper, as "a molder of the habits
of human beings, is the advertising
section. Here is pictured all the me-
chanical progress of the age. What
the inventor has wrought out in the
travail of his soul is given form and
substance, and then the advertising
man proceeds to create new needs
by the alluring display of type. The
advertising section of the newspaper
has reversed the old theory that sup
ply follows demand. The usual thing
now is to supply some dormant hu-
man need, and then create demand
for that which has been supplied.
The sudden complete elimination of
the newspaper would be little short
of a tragedy. The world would cease
to make any great progress. In
fact, such development as has come
has been wrought out during the pc
riod in which newspapers have had
general circulation. Every relation
ship in life is touched by the news
paper. Incentives to great effort are
created by the newspaper. The
world is made neighborly by the
newspaper. Sectional barriers are
broken down by the newspaper.
Here is tremendous power in
human life. 1t is power, however,
because it is the product of the mind
and soul of our common humanity
On the newspaper rests a vast re-
sponsibility to interpret Alright the
heart of the world, and to shape
Alright the htinkin gof the world.
Fortunately great majority of the
newspapers take this responsibility
very seriously.-Miami Herald.

THE BARRICADE" FEATURE
AT GRAND TOMORROW

"The Barricade" is the title of E
new Robertson-Cole feature picture
to be shown at the Grand theater to-
morrow.
The picture is a character sketch
founded OH theme Of false pride
illustrating how young doctor who
had gone far on the road to success
became ashamed of his Jewish foster
father and was finally brought to re-
alize his obligation in time to save
the old man from being elected from
his home.
The production was directed by
William Christy Cabanne, who has
many big features to his credit
among which is "The Stealers."
The cast enacting "The Barricade'
includes William A. Strauss as ia
cob Solomon, Katherine Spencer,
Kenneth Harlan, Dorothy Richards,
and others of equal picture fame.
The story from which the picture is
made was written by DR.. Daniel Car
son Goodman.
"The Barricade" has been well
produced and is splendidly acted in
every role. The role of the doctor
is played by Kenneth Harlan, while
Katherine Spencer is seen in the
leading feminine part.

With Other Editors
THE POWER OF THE NEWS
PAPER


Luis Wiley, business manager of
The New York Times, thinks that the
newspapers are changing the habits
of human life. He does not go so
far as to contend that they are chang
ing human nature, which is supposed
to be the one immutable thing in the
universe. Presumably, however, if
the habits of Interchangeable humans
are changed the time must eventually
come when there will be observed
some slight alterations in the charac-
ter of humanity itself.
There is undoubtedly reason for
believing that Mr.. Wiley is at least
measurably correct in his view. 1t
would be strange, indeed, if an insti-
tuition which is in constant relation
ship with the minds of the people
should not exert some influence of a
vital nature in their way of think
ing. The mind of the reader is APP
preached from three distinct points
by the newspaper.
The news sections give rapid
fire picture of what the world is do
ing and thinking. What the world is
doing and thinking is bound to influ-
ence the doings and the thinkings of
those who read the daily history.
The editorial page gives fairly
accurate account of public opinion.
Public opinion is coming to be an in

This Fish Liar
Sends His Stuff
In in Clusters
GBy Associated Pr-ssp

So Petersburg, Oct. 24.-Much ex-
citement was caused here one day
this week when a king fish weighing
thirty pounds leaped out of Tampa
bay and landed in a group of fish
ermen angling from the municipal
pier. One angler who had been fish
ing all morning without nibble div
ed for tn giant specimen of the mack
erel family, and captured it before it
cbuld flop overheard. 1t was the
first time that a kingfish had fallen
upon a pier here.
Several species of fish in Florida
waters are noted for their jumping
proclivities, and it is not uncommon
to find mullet in rowboats where
they leaped during the night. Pom
PIANO, which jump with the speed of
rifle bullet, have been known to
shatter lanterns hung in the low rig
ging of fishing craft as riding lights
the fish striking them head first
with the force of a sledge hammer.
W. L. Straub, for many years ed
itor and publisher Of The St. Peters
burg Times and until recently post
master here, was nearly beaten to
death some years ago when tarpon
he had hooked leaped into the row
boat from which he was fishing,
knocked him down, fell on top of him
and began his struggle to regain his
liberty.
