The usual
things

IT'S DIFFICULT to imagine the world
today without some of the things that
make our living in it so pleasant and
comfortable. How naturally we lift the
telephone receiver, step into the auto
mobile, and look for the news of the
world in the newspaper-every day OF
our lives.
Another of these usual, invaluable
things, accepted as part of the routine
of existence, is the guidance given by
the advertisements in this newspaper
in supplying our wants from day to day.
We read them. They help us to save
time and money. And our lives go OIL
more easily and more fully.
Every day the advertisements suggest
ways in which we can get things we
want with the greatest possible salts
faction to ourselves. They tell us of
new conveniences and comforts of
which we would not otherwise have
known. They help us to get dOwn-tO-
the-dOllar satisfaction. They assure
us of proved values.

Novel Written by Shaw
at Last Published

London.-George Bernard Shaw,
a writer of considerable promise,
and for whom great future is pre-
dicted. has finally managed to find
a publisher for his novel after 90
years of waiting.
1t was so years ago that Shaw
wrote "Immaturity." He was twen-
ty-four at the time. Every publish
er in London rejected the work. One
who read it and turned it down
was George Meredith, who at that
time was a reader for the publish
ing firm Of Chapman & Hall.
From then until now the manu-
script lay about Shaw's chambers.
Dust collected on it. Mice nibbled
at it. Since then Shaw has writ
ten a few other things, such as
some score of successful and world
famous plays, dozens of essays, a
number of novels which were not
rejected. This year "Immaturity"
will see the light of day. 1t will
be published in a collected edition
of his works.
Proving once more that the first
so years are the hardest.

Francis Walters, of Delaware City
Succumbs To Injuries

tiers, of Delaware City, died in the
Delaware Hospital following in
juries received when he fell under
a truck of the Diamond Ice and

cine made a turn on the highway
and went over a bump on the road.
When Racine looked back, a min
ute later, he failed to see Walters
and stopped the truck. The boy
was lying on the road, having fall
en- under the truck. The right

sed the scene of the accident. AT
ter being given first aid treatment,

fered a fractured skull, broken
vertebra, a broken arm, broken

VIII After 40 Years
Recalls Kind Action

Cedar Rapids, Iowa.-Forty years
ago, A. V. King of this city, while
on a visit at Covington, Iowa, saw
an eleven-year-old boy Industrious
ly turning a tree trunk into stove
wood, but stopping every few min
utes to wipe the tears from his
cheeks.
Believing the job was too much
for the lad, Mr. King offered to saw
for a while, only to learn that it
was not the hard work that caused
the tears. There was a theatrical
performance in town that night and
the lad had asked his employer for
Is cents that he might attend. In
stead of receiving the money he
received a kick and was ordered
to return to his job of saving wood.
Full of sympathy for the disap-
pointed boy Mr.. King gave him 20
cents and the lad dropped the saw
and ran for the theater.
Mr.. King watched the boys ca
reer in after years. He Joined the
army when war was declared
against Spain and fought in the
Philippines. Then when the World
war came he went to France,
where he fought two years. Re
turning to the Philippines the sol
der was stricken with leprosy and
sent to the leper colony, where he
died six years ago. He had small
estate and left a will. Among
those he remembered was Mr.. King
for the kindly act of many years
ago. Mr.. King received from the
government a check for S2.57.
81 shall always keep that check," "
he said. "It represents more than
thousand per cent interest-it
represents gratitude"
Mr.. King declined to make pub
lie the name of the boy who had
remembered a kindly deed through
out the years.

FAKE OF COLLEGE PAPER
finds CURTIS A VICTIM
Cornell Editors Add Name OF
"Hugo N. Frye" to Long List
of Famous Hoaxes.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Add to the list of
famous hoaxes the name of Hugo
n. Frye" brain child of the stu
dent editors of the Cornell Daily
Sun. And among its victims count
such redoubtable figures of Ameri-
can public life as Vice President
Curtis, Secretary of Labor Davis,
United States Senator Joseph X.
Grundy of Pennsylvania and Con-
gresswoman Ruth Pratt of New
York.
The tale came out at student
dinner here when the perpetrators
stood up and confessed. Mr.. Hugo
n. Frye" it seems, is COrnellese
for late campus bit of slang, you
go and fry"
Awhile back the Sun editors sent
out letters to Mr.. Curtis and other
leaders of the Republican party
setting forth that they had set out
to "settle once and for all the dis
pute regarding the actual BIRTH
place" of the G. o. P. and were
planning a dinner in honor of the
sesQuicentennial of the birth OF
Frye" described as an unsung
founder of the party in New York
state. Would the Vice President
and the others hOnOred with let
ters of invitation to the affair say
something nice and helpful about
Mr.. Frye?
Vice President Curtis telegraphed
according to the student editOrS)
81 read with pleasure your inten-
ton to give a dinner honoring the
sesquicentennial of the memory of
Hugo n. Frye, pioneer Republican
of Elmira.
81 am sorry, indeed, my official
duties prevent me from attending
the dinner.
81 congratulate the Republicans
on paying this respect to the men,
ory of Hugo n. Frye and wish you
a most successful occasion"
Secretary Davis telegraphed, the
editors aver. that "it is a pleasure
to testify to the career of that stur-
dy patriot who first planted the
ideals of our party in this region of
the country" and went on to add
that if Frye" were ''llving today
he would be the first to rejoice in
evidence everywhere present that
our government is still safe in the
hands of the people"
Apologies later were telegraphed
to the prominent Republicans
duped by the hoax and this, it is
believed, will end the campus
prank"
