CORNSTALK'S FAME AND DEATH

"If you are resolved to fight, then fight
you shall. But If any warrior attempts
to run away I will kill him with my

Early the next morning he attacked.

Cornstalk was everywhere, encourag-
ing his warriors. Once, true to his
threat, he cut down with his toma-
hawk skulker. Then Lewis out
flanked him. The chief skillfully with

in possession of the field, but at the
cost of Is killed and $50 wounded.
When Lord DtnmorS offered to
make peace, Cornstalk called council
of his chiefs. "You would not make
peace before Point Pleasant. What is
your voice now with two armies of the
Long Knives pressing upon us%' he de-
manded. IF it is for war, let us first
kill our women and children, them go
out and fight like men until we, too,
are killed" The ShawneeS were silent

Filling The Newspaper

"a newspaper is always in search
of the real live news of the commu-
nifty. But because an editor is al
ways eagerly in search of such news
and is willing to go to much trouble
and expence in doing it, people some
times forget that newspaper space is
an expensive proposition, and get the
impression that the editor is glad of
anything to fill up.
No editor has the slightest trou-
BILE to fill up the paper says the La
dysmith News-Budget. The real
trouble is to keep from filling the col
ums of the paper with stuff the
readers will not want to wade thru
to the exclusion of the news matter
that they pay to get. There liant an
issue that an editor does not consign
to the waste basket or turn down
enough matter to fill the paper twice
without room for line of news or
advertising.
People often forget that news
paper space is a valuable and costly
commodity, to be disposed of as care
fully as any merchant disposes of his
stock of goods. Every day people
bring in propaganda for every con-
ceivable proposition. During the
week just about every department of
government, country, state and
national comes to our rescue by do
mating a column or two to fill the
paper The fact that an article has
merit has no bearing on whether it
should be printed. If it isn't news
the only question to be considered is
whether it will be sufficiently in
teresting to the majority of our
readers that they will like to read it,
and whether it is more interesting
and of more value than other matter
that will have to be omitted if the
article under consideration is given
space

The Weather Bureau of the United

upon request by the United States
Air Service, has begun a course or
lectures on meteorology to uilots at
certain aviation fields in California.
Such a course, it was felt. should be
adaptable to the region in which
pilots do most their flying. The lee
lures would be necessarily few in
number, brief, well Illustrated with
lantern slides, and mainly devoted
to those phases of general meteor
ology which are of most concern in
actual flying.

Hill in Milton, now state reser-

est hill in the eastern part Of the
: state. This name was later ap-
: piled to the great bay which

1t was Capt. John Smith who
. first made a map of the New

Charles river in honor of "Baby
Charles" who afterward became
King Charles I. Other captains
visited the coast from time to

Gently celebrated. OF the origi-
nal one hundred passengers on
the Mayfower more than half
died during the first winter. But
the sturdy survivors, with in
, domitable courage, soon became
firmly established and from
their beginning, augmented by
the Puritan settlements of Salem
and the towns around Boston,
grew the state of Massachusetts,
which now extends over S,288
square miles. In proportion to
it's area Massachusetts is second
only to Rhode Island in popula-
ton and has eighteen presiden-
tial electoral votes. This makes
Massachusetts one of the six

There is general impression that
In the making of a motion pic
ture members of the cast know only
the parts assigned to them and that
they get their training in these parts
in snatches as separate scenes are
made.
AS a matter of fact. every player
in the cast Of any notable screen pro-
duction Of today not only knows all
Of the details Of his or her own role,
but the details Of every other role
and relation to the others and the
story.
This data is secured at the STORY
telling" which marks the beginning
of production work.
The custom was. borrowed directly
from the stage. The play reading Is
a feature Of every spoken drama pro-
duction. David Belasco, regarded as
one OF Americas foremost stage pro-
ducers, is famous for his first read
that the hours devoted to this prac,
tice are the most valuable of all the
time spent on production work.
Both Cecil r. De Mile and william
De Mile received their dramatic
training under Belasco's tutelage.
