The popularity of electricity in Can

MASTER MIND in CHARGE.

ynopsis-Proud possessor of a
printing press and equipment, the
gift of Uncle Joseph to his nephew,
Herbert Illingsworth Atwater, Jr.,
aged thirteen, the fortunate youth,
with his chum, Henry Rooter,
about the same age begins the pub
hcation of a full-fedged newspaper,
the North End Daily Oriole Her
bert's small cousin, Florence At
water, being barred from any kind
of participation in the enterprise,
on account of her intense and nat
ural feminine desire to boss" is
frankly annoyed, and not at all
backward in saying so. However,
a poem she has written is accepted
for insertion in the Oriole, on a
strictly commercial basis-cash in
advance. The poem suffers some
what from the inexperience of the
youthful publishers in the "art
preservative." Her not altogether
unreasonable demand for republi-
cation of the masterpiece, with it's
beauty unmarried, is scorned, and
the break between Miss Atwater
and the publishers of the Orfole
widens. The Sunday following,
Florence's particular chum, Patty
Fairchild, pays her a visit. They
are Joined, despite Florence's open
ly expressed disapproval, by Her
bert and Henry. Florence will not
play. Patty and the visitors in
dulge in a series of innocent Sun
day games. Among them is one
called TRUTH" the feature of
which is a contract to write ques-
ton and answer, both to be kept a
profound secret. The agreement is
duly carried out. Florence is told
as family secret that her beauti-
full aunt, Julia Atwater, has appar-
emily become engaged to a man
named Crum, altogether unknown
to the Atwaters. Florence finds
the notes in the Truth" game, in
which both Herbert and Henry ad-
nit that they have pretty eyes,
and threatens to tell the much
feared Wallie Torbln Of the cpl
sode. Florence becomes the mas
ter mind of the Oriole.

the way look at it. Ny father and

Herbert's mood at once chimed with
this unprecedented flial melancholy.
"NO, you don't, Henry. That's what
often think about, myself. No, sir,
q fellow doesn't have his father and
mother to advise him cur whole life,
and you ought to do a good deal what
they say while they're still alive"
"That's what 1 say" Henry agreed
gloomily; and then, without any al
teratiOn of his tone or of the detected
thoughtfulness of his attitude, he
changed the subject in a way that
painfully startled his companion.
"Have you seen Wallie Torbin today,
|, Herbert"
"Whatl"
"Have you seen Wallie Torbin to-

Herbert swallowed. "Why, what

"Oh, nothin'." Henry still kept his

ITALY WORKING

0. Bachechi Returning From
Visit to Old Home Says
Fascist Are Working for
Country'S Good.

That Italy Is making a vigorous
effort at postwar rehabilitation,
and that the fascist are endeavor-
ing to put the country back on a
sound business basis after the la
Dor troubles, is the report brought
back by o. Bachechi, pioneer AL
buquerquean. Mr.. Bachechi and
his wife have recently returned
from five months visit to their
former home in Italy.
The greatest activity Is being
shown in agriculture in Italy, said
Mr.. Bachechi. The farmers are
all developing their land to capac-
ity and are working hard. They
are being encouraged by the fact
that they are getting more money
for their produce but their ex-
penses are correspondence higher,
he said. Electricity is being used
universally since coal scared so
high in price, each little farm hav-
ing its own plant.
Everybody seems to have enough
money and no one is suffering, he
reported. The northern provinces
of Fiume and Trieste taken over
since the war are being greatly as
sisted in their rehabilitation by the
government, said Mr.. Bachechi
who visited the battle fields
Wholesale construction of homes
and roads is going on with gov
eminent help and the people are
content under their new rule.
The fascist element have taken
