saying to a shabby, tired-looking young
man who had come in in response to
the ad. "Our statesmen make $35 on

Ruth was very unhappy. There had
been two letters from Don the first

the house and urged Mrs. Adams, her
landlady, to call Ruth to the door. but

Ruths instructions. Then he had writ

And then the Happy Hooligan

The civic organizations investigated
and there was considerable publicity
Mr.. Ellington and his assistants were
worried The statesmen dropped off one
by one: men came into the Office and
held long conferences. Ruth saw sus-
picious correspondence handled over
her desk. and it was on the day that
she thoroughly realized she was in the
employ of fake promoters who had
gained disrepute in other cities that
one of the few remaining statesmen on
the force rushed into the Office waving
a paper in his hand.

1t had been a bitter quarrel and
Don had said-although his eyes had
told her otherwise-that he never
wanted to see her again until she
took back what she had said. She
had replied she never would, but of
course. Don would come back to her.
He lust couldn't stay away. They loved
each other; they had been engaged
three years, and were to be married in
June! The thousand dollars which
they had set as their goal was in the
bank-their "nest-egg" with which to
furnish their little apartment Don
had worked hard to accumulate that
money and they were both very proud
of the little bank book Ruth had kept
until she gave it back to him-the
night they quarreled.

Rural Rehabilitation in the South.
tNew York World ]

new form of reclamation work is being planned in the South It is concerned with neither irrigation nor drainage, but it Is aimed the development of neglected lands and at the creation Of opportunities for enterprising individuals t0 become land owners in organized communities. There large of cheap land in the Southern States with abundant latent resources. So far they cultivated the work is done mostly by share-enants who lack the intelligence means and ambition to get more than the minimum of subsistence from the soil Both human and natural resources are going waste and it IS to check this loss that a new form Of reclamation has been planned
 The cooperation of the agricultural colleges, the State universities business organizations and the railroads has been obtained The Federal Reclamation Bureau has been drafted and fl has lent the services Of it's experts. Suitable areas for conducting the first experiments have been examined and approved by the bureau in four States. and sites in three other States under examination It is proposed to bring together on these sites intelligent and aspiring farmers eapa- ble of employing the best agricultural methods and of working together ill business and social way The lands will be sold to them easy terms There will be attempt to obtain a profit and at tie time the movement will be kept free from any appearance of philanthropy or paternalism The purpose, as stated by pr. Elwood Mead head of the Reclamation Bureau. is ito wipe out tenancy, help men of small means to become farm owners, and create social condi- tions equal to the best in the country.
 The experiment will be watched with interest and sympathy It represents an effort to bring about an economic and social regeneration in the rural South not unlike that which has been achieved in Australasia and the Scandinavian countries and if the movement succeeds 1t is sure to spread elsewhere

FIGHT FILMS.

One of the measures introduced on the first day of Congress that should be passed is bill repeating the Federal law forbidding interstate transportation of prize-ight ilms It is an anachronism Passed before the advent of radio and in the dark ages of pugilism, as it stands today it does little good Representative Cellar of New York author of the repeal measure, re- cited the fact that when Tunney fought Dempsey last Fall at Soldiers Field, Chicago, 19 Cover nors, 20 United States Senators and dozens of Congressmen sat at the ringside. In addition there were scores of State legislators, mayors and officials of all sorts and degrees. The radio carried the ringsde story to all corners of the land Newspapers printed scenes of events lead ing up to the fight and regular news reels photo graphed the events of the evening, and were the incidents leading up to the actual fight and the winner and loser afterward.
 As Mir Cellar pointed out
 Yet it is considered illegal to fill
 the spaces in between. It is like being
 invited to attend sumptuous banquet
 and only being served with soup and
 nuts-the rest being left to the imag-
 ination
 Actually the Federal statute has not been able to curb the thing it enacted to pre- vent Court decisions have held that the law was prohibitye only against transporting the films between States There is no bar erected against them to prevent their showing Necessarily films cannot be exhibited outside of the State in which any fight happens to have been staged unless transportation is called into play. This has led to a thriving industry of "bootegged' films. The repeal of the 1912 law, therefore would not change conditions great deal excep it might add to the genuineness of the pictures

FOUNDATION OF CLASSIC SONG
 CHALLENGED.

The classic story of Barbara Frietchie and her poet-sung waving of an American flag from her window as "Stonewall' Jackson's Confederate troops marched through Frederick, Md, has been challenged by John Clagget Proctor, Washing ion D G. historian. Three reasons were assign ed by him to show the lack of foundation Tor the story First, Barbara was bed-rldden at the time second, Jackson's men did not march by her house: and third, it dark not daytime when they left Grederick.
 Tn fact. MT Proctor was inclined to the opin- ion that had Barbara waved flag it would have been the Stars and Bars and not the Stars and Stripes He quoted from the diary of Capt H. K Douglas. of Jacksons staff, who mentioned the age and illness of Barbara Frietehie, and added that her own loyalty was not above sns- picion and her relatives had assured him if she had waved flag ito the rebel tread it would not have been a Union flag.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-01-05

But Whittiers famous poem is not left en- trey without foundation by Mr. Proctor He assigns the fag-waving incident to a Mrs. Mary Quantrell. then living in Frederick and whose descendants live in the national capital. She did not have the age to give the news punch" to the story, Barbara, aged 96 was brought into the incident
 It may be that Mir Proctor's version of the affair is correct rather than that of the peo. But it is the latter which has to be ac- eepted as genuine and that acceptance is hardly likely to be disturbed by this challenge to it's authenticity.

 The sale of books in America is being in creasngy influenced by the willingness of pur- chasers to follow expert advice. They join clubs and pay subscriptions which bring them in re- turn the possession not the loan, of many books a year chosen at certain intervals by special judges. The decision of the arbiters who serye for example, the Book of the Month Club" is one which has a tremendous import ance for the producers and consumers of ltera- ture since it means the immediate sale of many thousands of copies of their choice. It is gen orally agreed that the inyidious task of picking "the best book any month is being done by selecors of taste and authority who do not mere fly give their followers something safe and easy to glance at in the armchair. Authors will watch these developments with divided emotions. For those to whom the plum falls the fruit IS remarkably large, and the poet who suddenly finds his work selling like detective story will think it bliss indeed to be alive on such a dawn But these purchases for literary clubs do at the same time assist dangerous tendency among readers to snatch at anything which is being talked about instead of forming the best seller" is apt to sell better than ever before Millions want to read it because they are terrified of seeming behind the moment, and the authors name thus becomes magically po- tent The American literary clubs, which save the reader the trouble of choosing for himself increase this mass movement towards one man and one book It is bad for letters when the rewards are all or nothing, and that IS exactly the result which the submission of readers to "a dictatorship. however benevolent, may bring about since those who acquire the habit of read l ing what they are told to read may end in the deplorable condition of reading nothing else
