THE NEWSPAPER MAN

Bit of priest and bit of a sailor,
Bit of doctor and bit of a tailor.
Bit of lawyer and bit of a detective,
Bit of Judge, for his work is correc-
tive;
Cheering the living and soothing the
dying.
Risking all things, even daredevil
flying;
True to his paper and true to his
Just look him over, the newspaper
man.
Sleep! There are times that he'll do
with little,
Work till his nerves and his temper
are brittle;
Fire cannot daunt him, nor long hours
disturb him,
Gold cannot buy him and threats can
not curb him;
Highbrow or lowbrow, your own
speech he'll hand you,
Talk as you will to him, he'll under
stand you;
He'll go wherever another man can;
That is the way of the newspaper
man.
Surgeon, if urgent the need be, you'll
find him,
Ready to help, nor will dizziness blind
him,
He'll give the ether and never once
falter,
Say the last rites like a priest at the
Gentle and kind with the weak and the
weary,
Which is proved now and then when
his keen eyes grow teary,
Facing all things in life's curious
plan,
That is the way of the newspaper
man.
One night a week may he rest from
his labor,
One night at home to be father and
neighbor.
Just few hours for his bit of leisure,
All the rests gazing at other mems
pleasure;
All the rests toiling, and yet he re-
joices;
All the world is, and that men do, he
voices
Who knows a calling more glorious
than
The day-by-day work of the newspa-
per ma

Arthur's Ground Table"

The table which is now called "The
Round Table of King Arthur" Is to
to be seen in the Great hall at Win
chester, England, part of the old cas-
tie there. At the west end of this
hall, above the remains of the royal
dais, hangs this table, II feet in diam
eter. 1t is known to have existed in
the Thirteenth century and is posi-
bly, older, and was reprinted in the
reign of Henry VIII. OF course there
is no way of tracing any connection
of King Arthur and his knights with
this table. This table is divided off
into places for the king and "a of his
knights. According to one version of
the King Arthur legends, there were
13 seats around the table. while ac-
cOrding to another there were 80
seats, and the total number of knights
of King Arthur was $40.

necessity is too often purchased in a
haphazard manner. The average wo-
man buys sheets so seldom that size
is not always impressed as consider
alton. Aside from quality, finish and
cost, one should clearly understand
what is meant by adequate length.
For example the 108 inch sheet is
urged by discriminating consumers
and merchants that this is the best
size and be adopted as standard.
Usually sheet which is sold as los
inches in length means torn length
before hemming. Hens may vary in
width-a reasonable allowance for
shrinkage would be inches in the
108 inch length-leaving an average
length of 103 inches. Deduct from
this hem widths, thus giving net
useful length of SO inches.
Short sheets are bound to be an an
noyance, disappointment and poor
economy. 1t requires sheets at least
1O8 inches long to provide real econ
omy and satisfaction.
Sheets should contribute to person
al comfort and health.
Sheets should provide adequate pro-
lection to the individual user and to
the bedding with which they are used.
Sheets should conform to the prin-
ciples of good taste and individual
economy.
Sheets that are long enough will
give the greatest satisfaction in each
of these respects.

What Length Sheets?

Sheets are a familiar necessity OF
daily life. Like many other essentials
they are so commonplace that few
persons realize the importance of adj
equate length in sheets or the manner
in which they affect individual COM
fort and health. In very real sense
they may reflect important standards
of personal hygiene.

Why?

Four-year- Richard and his sis
ter were both very fond of James
Whitcomb Riley's poems for children
and could say the Tragedy Man" and
Little Orpbant Annie" and "Way
Out to Old Aunt Mary's," word for
word.
One day Richard was looking
through the book of poems again. He
seemed quite thoughtful for a mo-
ment, then he said:
Daddy, if this Mr.. Riley liked little
boys and girls so well, why do people
call him James Whipthem Riley?'

Acquainted

Virginia Anne, age three years, was
just getting good start in the pri-
mary department of a suburban Sun
day school. The young teacher was
telling the story of the shepherds and
wishing to give especial attention to
the babies of the class, asked:
virginia Anne, do you know any
thing about the shepherds?"
Sure" replied Virginia Anne, con-
fidently, 81 know all about 'em. They
live right next door to u.s."

The Reason

A clergyman was congratulating
himself on a convert from rival
place of worship.
"Why," he asked the good lady,
"have you decided to forsake your
chapel for my church? Is it that you
find my sermons of greater comfort
to you?"
mo-" was the reply. ITS not ex-
actly that. The fact is they have
cindered the pathway up to the chapel

the grace of God, bought her AMI
every other child of Adam. His pur-
pose in buying them was that he
might redeem them, even though they
had gone down into the grave itself.
The time for all these blessings is
the kingdom of God for which we
were taught to pray, "Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done on earth"
According to the Scriptures, both by
the Prophets and by the Lord and his
Disciples that kingdom is right at the
doors and is now being established.
The old structure of world empires
and unrighteous conditions are being
torn down to make a place for the
new. Every auto, every radio, every
telephone and the thousand and one
wonderful instruments of our day all
proclaim with loud voice that the
kingdom of God is at hand. Evidences
are accommodating that many people
now living on earth will never need
to go into the tomb nor have funeral
sermon over their dead bodies. My
firm belief is that some of you here
this afternoon will be of that number.
The Lord enumerated many signs by
which we might recognize the time.
He said, "when you see these things
lift up your heads for your redemp-
on draweth nigh"
l bring to you dear friends who are
here this afternoon the joyful mes
sage that your loved ones also will be
returning from the grave that you
may know and rejoice in the great
blessing which God has in store for
all the world, and you dear relatives,
| bring this message that the Great
Jehovah God has not forgotten you
nor your loved one who is temporarily
passed from you.
God says he will be mother to the
motherless to those who ask his grace
and comfort, and so bid you to look
to the God of all Comfort who will
answer the earnest prayer of the ST.
rowing heart to grant you the COM
fort which comes from knowledge
Of his purposes, his love and his
power. May his blessings rest opon
each and all of you as you seek from
him knowledge and strength and COM
fort.

For tho second time in two weeks. |. $. secret service operatives are in this city today in an effort to ob- tain a clue 10 counterfeits of federal money.
 Two counterfeit $2o bills were de tcctcd in local banks on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday q spur ious $2o federal reserve note was re- ported in the New Britain National bank and yesterday q federal re serve note of the same dcnomina- ton and made apparently by the same counterfoitors was reported at the Savings Bank of New Britain Recently the city was flooded with q large number of worthless five dollar bills of series 2-B and with the picture of Lincoln on them. The same person or persons who made those bills have apparently made the. $20 bills, local bankers say.
 The bills were easily detected by the local bankers but, according to Noah Lucas of the Savings Bank, they could easily pass for genuine notes in the hands of persons not used to handling money on a large scale. ShOpkecpcrs and stCrcoWn- CTS Mir. Lucas said, would take the bills thinking them genuine.
