BELIEVING EVERYTHING

We believe it would be a good idea
If there could be a revival of the
old sage advice to believe nothing
you hear and only half you see. The
favorite sport of some people around
Mountain Home seems to be believ-
ing everything they hear. And they
hear too much. Everyday somebody
comes up to us and wants to know If
this or that is true, and when we
inquire how such a notion got into
his head he replies, ooh, 1 heard it. :"
Right there all responsibility for
the report is lost. 1t may be some
thing that is detrimental to a mans
business or a woman's character
usually the whispered report is-but
the 81 heard it" covers all idea of
origin and widens the breach OF gos-
sip. We know of some few people
who make it a rule to never repeat
what they have heard until they are
absolutely sure it is correct. Butt
there are very few of this kind
Where there is one who investigates
there are a hundred who go right
ahead repeating the report and cover
ing up, when pressed for more infor- !
nation or the source of the informa-
ton with the statement: 81 heard
it,"
We are at a season of the year
now when we are supposed to be UNI
usually charitable. So let's resolve
to KNOW what we are talking about
before we start in to discuss a rumor,
especially If it is the kind of rumor
that may injure someone's business
or reputation. We can make our
Christmas happier by only discussing
pleasant reports. And then if we
are really sensible we will, one week
after we have celebrated Christmas
day, make solemn resolution to
quit gossiping altogether then
stick to that resolution.

GERMAN TOYS

Germany is again playing a bis
part in the American Christmas. Fol
months German toys have been COM
ing across in great volume and near
ly every ship from a German port
is loaded with them. Most of the
stuff is cheap, but there is so much
that even its dollar value may be
greater than ever before. Naturally
there are many who will not invest
in German toys, some, perhaps, re-
siding right here in Mountain Home,
but outside the fact that they enter
into direct competition with our own
manufacturing concerns there seems
to be no good grounds for objections.
If Americans order them, they are
the losers if they don't sell. If Ger
many wants to ship them to this
country and take chances, and if she
pays the duty on them required by
this country, she certainly seems to-
be within her rights. At any rate,
we fail to see any reason for letting
it spoil our holidays or dampen our
holiday spirit.

throwback to the sugary songs OF
Aunt Isabelle's day is due in this
country about the time the ham
mock season opens in lineup, Neb.,
and Erie, Pa.
Already the men who write
Broadway's songs have hunted UP
catalogues of the best sellers OF
1904 or thereabouts, and hurriedly
ground out q supply Of ballads OF
the type that made hit with the
Gibson girl, in order to meet the
saccharine demands of a jazz weary
public.
Any Broadway song shop today
will show you the 1923 counterparts
of such old-time favorites as
Moonlight Bay" "In the Shade of
the Old Apple Tree" "Red Wing
and I'm Afraid to go Home in the
Dark"
Glance over the first music
counter you pass and your eye will
meet titles reminiscent of the
above.
The tunes are new, it's true, but
the sentiment is the same heart
stirring variety that a decade ago
used to swell forth in quartets,
duets and mixed trios from every
parlor and piazza between Los
Angeles and Boston.
The waltz is back in the cabarets
as something besides a closing mum.

A speaking tour by Congressman
L. c.. Dyer, author of the recently

the association. The itinerary in
cludes Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha. Denver, Colorado Springs,
Salt Lake City, parts of California,
Oregon, Washington. In announcing
his tour Dyer said:
'.I am going before the country
on the issue Of lynching, a national
shame which for thirty-five years
the States have failed to end and
the Federal Government has failed
to attack.
THE anti-Iynching bill which
introduced in Congress and which
was passed by vote of almost
2 to I in the House, was stopped
in the Senate by the filibuster of
Senators from those States in which
most lynchings occur.
ct shall reintroduce this measure
in the next Congress. IT will be
introduced, believe, in the Senate.
Meanwhile shall acquaint as many
American citizens as possible with
the horrors of lynching in Amer

Pretty Madge Bellamy, less than
three years, ago budding star OF

dawning fame to begin in. a humble
capacity with the motion picture
interests, is today in Washington a
recognized star in her new protes-

Several hundred screen fans were
at the Union station last night to
welcome Miss Bellamy to the Capt

Goodridge of California and the mo-

Monroe Doctrine Centennial on the
coast during the month of July.
Madge Bellamy's success In the
realm of the screen has been me-
teoric. Picked by so distinguished
a thespian as William Gillette as

success in James Barrie's whimsical
