THE injection of a pink silk night
gown in the latest movie murder is
a great circulation builder for the
metropolitan press. Regardless of
its size it has eclipsed "Fatty" Ar
buckle which is just as well for the
good Of the public. We country
editors can poke fun at the metro
politan papers and criticise them for
the great space devoted to such ques-
tionable stories but the reader res
ponse in the form of increased street
sales somewhat reflects the public
taste. 1t is sad but true.

THERE is nothing an intelligent
person appreciates more than con-
s~tructive criticism. It is the founda-
ton of all success. 1t may go against
the grain now and then but construc-
tive criticism is never offered except
in the best spirit. 1t is destructive
criticism that is inspired by hate or
rancor, that always seeks to tear down
what is worthwhile and never fails tc

Another version of the Lean Fat
baseball game Labor day was brought
ia Yesterday by an official after the
first version was printed. This
official stated that one inning was
ruled out because of batting out Of
order, and this, according to the
tally sheet leaves the score to 6 in
favor of the Fats, instead of 8 to 8
ia favor of nobody.
He also advised US con6dentially
that the game broke up 10 row.

Many Enjoyed the Pool.

The celebration In the Rathdruu
park on Labor day marked the closing
of the swimming pool for the season.
About 1918 swimmers enjoyed them
selves during the three hot months
and no accidents of any sort occurred
during that time. Mr.. Keller proved
himself an excellent caretaker and
the order among the young people in
the park was never better
There have been many inquiries
from people interested to know just
how much it cost to build the pool.
The Civic club spent just $l242 81 in
cash, for materials and labor and
estimate that labor amounting to
$500 was donated, thus making the
total cost Of the pool $500.
There is still debt of $780, which
is small considering the size Of the
undertaking begun Just year ago.
We hope. with the aid Of the
community which seemed to enjoy
the pool SO much. to be abe TO pay
of this debt before winter In order
that next spring, we may open the
pool as belonging to and credit TO
the town that built it.-Civlc Club

CANNOT REMEMBER
HIS NAME Or HOME

Gentlemen. don't know my name,
can't remember where / am from
nor how / got here This assertion
was made in the sheriffs office by
well-appearing, elderly man who
had been taken into custody by
members of the police department
and conducted to the county Jail for
further investigation
Questioning by members of the
sheriff's force failed to throw any
light upon the identity of the stran-
ger. He seemed to be in excellent
health. His short, white beard was
well-trimmed and his clothing was
neat. He said he had a few dollars
in his pockets and was not looking
for charity.
Il am simply lost" he explained.
i find it impossible to recall my
own NAME" Then he added, tinidly,
Seems rather crazy. doesn't it?''
The aged man was offered quarters
at the county emergency hospital
while city and county officers make
an effort to get some clue which will
lead to his identity.
