us that ''The Gold Diggers," the
adaptation of the David Belasco play

success for above two years, is one
OF those rare pictures which makes
its coming an event to remember for
AL time. This is not only on ac-
count of its celebrated stars, its
strong story and beautiful unique
settings but also because the entire
story Is unrolled smoothly apparently
without effort, as though it were a
single unit, and not a complicated
story of the gay night life of New

be seen by all.

Jerry Lamar. In 1t She is dressed in

Country Press Remains American

Once again we are having driven home the fact that the safe
guard of American liberty rests in the country press, appealing
as it does to sixty millions of the American people, rejecting
their honest thought, and presenting to them basic facts in a
plain, ~neighboIly way that defes the inroads of the great metro
politan newspapers. The American country newspaper, thank
God, does not stand constantly at attention ready to salute the
first dollar that comes along no matter in what uniform it is
dressed.
When our boys we're fighting cover there the patriotic hys-
terra OF the ciy's newspapers knew no bounds. They broke
their editorial nelxs vieing with each c.kar in denunciation of
the Hun. Circulation demanded patriotism and patriotism paid.
With peace, however, readers dNindled, and then the business
office took the saddle. New York, Chicago and one or two
other big centres contain America German population in mass
formation. The number of French folk is comparatively small.
The answer was obvious, particularly to a press ready to burn
its honor on the altar of added readers. No time was lost to
make a point when France saw fit to enter the Ruhr to enforce
payment for the devastation of her lands. The German reader
must be had at any cost. In the twinkling of an eye some of
the big city newspapers turned bout face without a blush, and
they played their cards practically if now knowingly in partner
ship with the German propagandists.
Were it not for the stealing influence of the country press,
which keeps its feet on the ground-were it not for the calm
Judgment Of the plain American people in the small towns, the
German influence would already have gained it's former dam
gerous and dominating position in this country. Fortunately
for America the country newspaper declines to pander for a
reader. The country newspaper refuses to be led into the by
lanes of forign intrigue. The country newspaper is an Ameri-
can institution and it will remain the bulwark of our liberty.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE
TOWN AND COMMUNITY

What is meant by keeping the dol
lars in the home town?
We're going to explode a myth.
There is an old saying that trad
ing in your own home town keeps
the dollar circulating at home. 1t
sounds good but it isn't altogether
true. The goods you buy of your
local merchant have to be paid for,
and about 20 cents out of every dol.
lar goes to pay for these goods, so in
rHlity, when you spend a dollar at
home you keep about 80 cents of it
in town. Is it worth it? Let US see
what becomes of the thirty cents. In
the first place a large part of it goes
into rent, heat and light. 1t make
IA ,live producing store where other
wise would be an empty building OF
no building at all.
In the second place, another bic
part goes into wages. 1t keeps peo-
pie employed. Cease to support the
store and the store will cease to sup
my one else.
Ia tie third place it contributes to
.,,cs. 1t helps keep up and light
the streets and run our city and
county departments. 1t supports To-
cal enterprises, encourages home
town improvements. 1t does a lot
of other things we don't need to men.
ton. z
On that basis out of every $1,000
spent, about $500 stays right at home
in circulation. Figure up, if you
can, what the town would lose If
everybody sent most of their dollars
away. Not one penny of them would
come back to anyone.
The point is this-other things be
ing equal, the old home town is the
best place to spend your money.
You cant send it away without in
terfering with the welfare Of the
whole community. Think twice before
YOU do.

Who Gets the Increased Profits?

While politicians and economists are discussing the intrica-
cis of readjustment, the house wife who depends on her hus-
bands pay envelope is thinking in terms Of food cost. For
instance, she is interested in the price Of eggs, bread, -four,
meal, crisco, oats, macaroni, rice beans, potatoes, onions, cab
bage and other unromantic items
An examination Of such food lists shows q general increase
OF Al per cent in December, 1922, as compared with December,
the interim.
Fresh milk for example showed a decrease in 1914 over
1913 oi one per cent, and then the following increases: A
per cent in 1917, 70 per cent in 1918, "a per cent in 1919, IS
per cent in 1920 IS per cent in 1921 and 81 per cent in 1922.
These figures are authentic. It would be interesting to learn
the percentage of increases obtained by the farmer-what did
ne get during this amazing wave of mounting prices to the
public. Befog the issue as they may, the middlemen eventually
will have to make answer. Improved ntercommunicatio Is
rapidly putting the farmer into instant touch with the activities
OF the seller. when all cards come to be laid on the table there
is going to be some readjustment that will interest q great many
gentlemen who are living on the honest labor Of their fellows.
