1t means this fellows: The older
men of the town believe that some
thing should be done for you. They
feel that they themselves have failed
to give you anything worth your
place. They believe that you have the
spunk to get place for yourself if
you are given the chance to make it.
Now here is the point fellows, are
you going to let the thing slip and
drag along, wishing you were part
of the community, or are you going
to come to these meetings and hear
all that is going on in this town of
yours? And then shoot right ahead
on a set plan for something better
for the boys" 1t is my belief that
you will do the latter and there are
plenty of men in this town of ours
that think the same way. I'll leave it
to you now, fellows - How about it?

TO THE BOYS

THE older men of the town are
= thinEting of you, fellows. They
have been thinking of you for long
time. They wanted to do something
Tor you but it seemed they were new
er IN position to make anything out
OF their desire. They have tried re-
peatedly to give you fellows here, a
place to enjoy yourselves. In every
instance they have found that there
is no place for fellows to meet
and pass the evening or pastime per
iod, and they also found that there
was not sufficient capital to encour-
age the building of a place. Realiz-
ing that they We're not doing what
should be done for the boys thew
again made the stand to do some
thing.
One night, not far back, the aues-
ton was opened for discussion in the
Commercial club meeting. After a
few pointers they appointed a COM
mittee to see what could be done
about it and this is what thew found
out: ~.
They found out that everything that
had been started for the boy, in re-.
guard to a place to go or a place To
meet the older fellows, has failed
They also found out that in mo in
stance was the young fellow given a
chance to help himself. Now of course
it is not sure thing that that ,s
reason for former attempts failing.
but the committee thought it was at
least factor. Keeping that in mind
and also keeping in mind that to do
anything worth while, they must care
fully lay the plans, they drew up a
recommendation for the Commercial
club, saying that all fellows under
the age of 81 should be allowed in
the Commercial club with an equal
with any of the older
heads.
I'm not SO sure that every fell
low, that is the age that this con-
germs, realize what this means to him.

WASHINGTON A GREAT STATE

1T is part of human nature to be-
= come accustomed to thing, no
matter whether it be good or bad.
The thing that surprised, pleased.
or Mortified one at first soon becomes
quite commonplace if it happens
enough times without killing one, Ell
ther with joy or sorrow.
This. in a great measure is what is
happening to this state in regard to
it's opportunities. We see it function
ing every day. We take its great de-
velopments, it's undertakings and its
progressiveness as matter of course.
Things happen all around US with
such degree of rapidity that we do
not catch the significance Of the
whole. We know that these things
are wonderful, we can see our state
taking the lead in different things,
but at the same time we also think
that is just as it should be and the
matter weighs no heavier in our minds
than personal comment now and
then to some personal friends that al
ready know and is already interested.
In short we do not realize that there |
are people that would bring them
selves, and everything they owned, to
our state and open new lines Of BUSH
ness or enlarge upon those already
started, if they only knew what we
know about our state.
Now, if we know these things,
and if telling them to people who do
not know will bring them here,
should we not use few sheets of
paper and tell them. Tell them some
of the facts about the state-tell
them that we are first in hydro-elec-
trio power, with 8645,OOO potential
and $4,000 developed; first in agri- .
culture, supplying one-twelfth of the
nations wheat in 1923 with the high
est acre yield for oats, corn, potatoes
and sugar beets; first in apples with
10000 cars as a normal crop; first
in lumber with the greatest number q
of manufacturing plants in the world '
and 2s2,OO0,00O feet of standing
IMPORTS, exceeded only by New York
IMPORTS, exceeded onlf by New York

ing that the way he made his

Reichstag Receives Vent
Elderly Germans Feelings

Berlin. July 20 "a. P. by MaiD-
The Reichstag recently was treated
to true Interpretation of public
sentiment, at least the sentiment of
part OF the public, when-200 elderly
men and women demanded salvage
of their savings wrecked by the in
flation of. the mark.
These elderly people visited the
Reichstag to settle their account
with the German Nationalists, an
account which they claimed re-
suited from promises by that party
of an adequate revaluation of their
bank accounts and deprecated
securities in return for their votes.
Efforts by two Nationalist to
stem the tide of protest proved
futile and eventually the demon
stration became so turbulent that
all other business of the Reichstag
was suspended. The Nationalist
fed the hall. All other parties
then were drawn into the discussion.
One old woman expressed her
feelings, declaring that eli German
Nationals should be hanged. An
old man rushed about the lobby
seeking support for a plan to par
tition the property of the Hohen-
zollerns. His war cry was: Those
persons who lost the war should not
set pension. Its the first duty of
the state to care for those who
sacrificed their children and their
lard earned savings"

Public Frauds in Austria

Vienna. July % CAP by MaiD-
Organized applause constitutes, a
deception of the public. in the
opinion of Vienna judge. Persons
engaged to do the hand -clapping and
to voice their applause in other
ways cannot claim remuneration
The case arose from a dispute be-
tween DR.. Stefan. composer of a
comic opera entitled, "Agri," and
the leader of claque at the Burg
theater, where the first performance
of "Agri' was given. The leader
claimed that the composer had
agreed to employ the services of
the claque, and that the claqueurs
had rendered a manual service worth
100000 crowns.
The judge declined to hear just
what the arrangement between the
two men was, and rendered judg-
ment against the chief of the
claqueurs on the grounds that the
activity of a claque constitutes a
fraud upon the public and that it is
immoral"

Movie Directors
Get Varied Pay

Hollywood, Cal, Aug. II (AP)-
An explanation of the wide variance
in amounts of the weekly salaries Ut
motion picture directors was given
here recently at meeting OF film
executives.
The average salary received by the
"top-notch" director approximates
$4,000 weekly. Other directors-many
of them new in the industry-are
paid lesser amounts, ranging as low
as SIS a week.
One producer in speaking on the
question How much is director
worth?" said "A director who does
not know every detail of the motion
picture game Is expensive at any
price. One who does know is worth
$4,000 a week because he will save
his salary a dozen times in the cost
of production.
Through the inexperience Of a di-
rector, studios sometimes are com
PEELED to retake the work of many
weeks. This means that the cost Of
keeping the company and the me-
chanical staff on the sets for the ex-
tended length of time was greater
than the difference between what
the producer paid his small salaried
director and what he would have had
to pay op-notcher."
