A EUROPEAN CIRCUS

Persons who see He Who Gets
Slapped" Victor Seastrom's Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer production, which is
coming to the Grand Theatre Monday
and Tuesday will have an opportunity
to find out what q European circus is
like.
The European tent show is as diff
ferent from the American variety as
can be imagined. The European cir
Gus is really hippodrome. Usually it
has permanent residence and sell
dom travels. Moreover, it possesses
only one ring, and the show is COM
bination of circus, vaudeville and
musical comedy.
The clown, and in the photoplay the
story revolves about a clown known
as "He Who Gets Slapped" is not
merely a pantomimist, but rapid
fire monologue man such as we have
in our vaudeville shows. The best
of these clowns are noted for their
extemporaneous witticisms. They are
also singers and dancers. But it IS
the good old slap-stick that counts in
the end for the laughs.

THE INCREASING OF POSTAL RATES

There is a measure of irony in efforts of the
railroads to obtain from the government more
money for carrying the mails and their inge-
Nous attempts to enlist the favorable attitude
On the part of the newspaper towards the proJ-
ect AS fact whenever there is raise in the
cost of handling the mails the burden always
is placed on the back of the newspapers. TINS
was exemplified quite recently when the news
papers having fought for higher wage for the
Postal employees were rewarded by having the
Increased expenditure passed on to them for
payment in higher rates of newspaper trans
portaGon, T.. W..
In the case of the postal employees of course
there was a legitimate reason for the raise
even though it did involve sacrifice on the
part of the publishers but when the railroads
step out with demands for higher rate for
transportatng publications then it is time to
call halt.
We wonder how the public would feel If 1t
had to meet the requirements for postal serv-
ice demanded of the publishers who deliver
their bundles to the cars, each bundle sepa-
rated to reach the different zones, put the
bundles in the cars at their own expense and
have them picked up by their dealers at the
points of destination. AS fact the post office
department has practically no cost OF nan
ding, other than what it pays to the railroads.
The government charges are in excess OF
$1.7O per hundred pounds for haulage OF 100
miles for newspapers whereas railroads and
other carriers competing for similar shipments
offer rates ranging from 80 cents to 80 cents
per hundred pounds for the same distance
The cost of newspaper transportation IS al
ready excessive. 1t has reached that point
where if it be increased it is likely to affect
the public Surely it is time this exploitation
of the press by the government came to stop.

sidering that this creamery was started about
four years ago, with conditions similar to those
here in Ben Hill, the record made by the Dub

OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE

Are you sure that you are getting the best
out of life?
Are YOU living your own life so that the
world-the community in which you hve-is
better because you live there?
1t is not easy to radiate happiness if one is
not physically fit. but who has not known
sick-room that has proved veritabe benedc-
ton because of the CHEEKY way-the dauntless
courage-with which it's occupant faces phys
ical suffering?
1t is not easy to be gay when the pinch of
poverty is felt. but we all know poor people
whose cheerfulness puts to shame some of
those who are well-blegt with this world s
goods
1t all depends on ones attitude towards life.
The heart and mind determine whether one is
a blessing to a community or curse, or merely
neither one nor the other.
To get the best out of life, one must forget
SELF The greatest happiness is found in serv-
ice-glad, willing service to loved ones, to the
home. to the community or to the state. This
principle is as old as the Golden Rule, but it
needs constant reiteration
Life today is complex. Even in the country
il is not nearly so simple as it was quarter of
century ago. The mad rush after money af-
fects even the quiet places, and one IS apt to
feel that individual efforts counts for naught.
It counts for everything! A community is but
a group of individuals If they work together
the common good, it fails.
Think how much depends on you! Which
shall it be in your community? Up or down?

Whatever may be said about alb

COLDS AND CAUSES
Why do people accept colds as if
they were necessary during the win
ter season? Though we talk of ex-
posure, few of any of those ailing,
know by experience what exposure is,
except in the sense of contact with
germs. Science is showing us more
and more, that our prevention and
cure Of colds is in the freer use of
clean cold air. When we change from
stuffy oterheated rooms to the cold
fresh air of outdoors and sneeze, we
blame the cold we meet, and not the
germ laden hot air we have left, for
any respiratory troubles that ensue.
Indoor living that goes with civiliza-
ton has brought colds, catarrh and
tuberculosis to the race, diseases I'M
known to savages until they take up
our mode of living. In the cities the
industrial waste of coal fumes, gases
and dust tend to poison even the out
door air so that germs are ever pres
ent, but these can be resisted with
good habits of breathing and exer.
else if the body is kept in normal
condition otherwise.
