moments, would have you believe
that he is an ultra dangerous
anarchist. And yet, Mr.. Stone
ideas of good government run
along a path strikingly similar to
that being followed by the present
federal administration.
Few persons realize it, but
Charley Stone was in large
manner responsible for the pas
sage of the Indiana old-age pen
sion law. Mr.. Stone, a member
of the Eagles for many years, took
up that organizations old-age
pension crusade in a manner be-
fitting Lincoln Steffens
He wrote yards and yards of
publicity for the drive, he used his
influence to attract more and
more men and women to the pro-
posed law, and when the Indiana
legislature finally passed the
measure, Charley Stone leaned
back in his chair with contented
smile.
That was his reward. He was
satisfied.
~HARLES CONWAY STONE
~ was born on May 10, 1891,
near Shelburn, in Sullivan county.
His school career ended in high
school when his father died, and
at IS he was the sole support of
his widowed mother ana five
brothers and sisters.
His first job was as a printers
devil in the office of the Snelburn
Enterprise, a weekly paper. His
job was setting personals, and
along about the end of each week
Charley and his bosses found
themselves running short of cap
ital letters. So at the tail end of
each week Charley stopped set
ting personals Mr.. and Mrs. John
Smith" and made it John Smith
and wife"
He studied law on the side and
at 10 was a deputy prosecuting
attorney under Prosecutor James
Hudson of Bloomfield when Sui
Ivan and Greene counties formed
one judicial circuit.

The officer cried like a baby after
the shooting.
The Importance of getting

upon Mr.. Stone very early in his
career. He once buried" a wom-

tale who finally told the truth by crying out, He
hasn't got anything on as the king marched through
the streets clad only in the magic cloth woven and
cut by the swindling tailor
You may remember that everybody else kept
silent because the tailor had given out the report
that the cloth visible only to such as were
worthy of their position in life. The child knew
nothing of this, and, anyway, he didn't have any
position in life so he pped up and cried He hasn't

the cry and finally the king was convinced and

Farmer Is Very Fair Match

NEVER, in any of the orations or serious
essays on the subject is any consideration given
to the fact that in the matter of cupidity larceny
the honest farmer is a very fair matcn pound for
pound, for the average of the cities. Yet only
a few years ago. farmers were swapping land at in
fated prices which they knew to be much higher
than its agricultural earning powers, with pre-
CiSely the same motive in mind which animated
the urban citizens who gambling margin
in the stock market.
The important difference has been that when the
honest shaker found that his acres, having been
bought at eXtravagant prices with the motive of
easy money in mind, could not support themselves
in crops, he squawked to the government to buy up
part of bad bet
The city citizen, never having learned to squawk
in unison, and lacking such compelling representa-
ton the farmers enjoyed in the persons of GER
tain celebrated senatorial hayShakers took his losses
in comparative quiet He kicked himself three times
around the block for having been a damn fool and
took all out in being at the bankers not the
government.
Not until the hay-shaker, by repeated grabs at
the treasury had put the idea into his head did the
citizens of the cities begin to entertain the idea that
if the treasury such soft touch for the farmer,
maybe he could chsel off few shillings for himself

A Comedy Pair.

Slim Summerville and ZaSu Pitts are
back in town.
This delightful comedy pair open ar
engagement at the Kootenai Theatre
Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Her
First Mate their latest costarrine
vehicle, and to say that they have out
done their previous efforts is to put il
mildly. The picture is a positive riot Of
merriment.
Summerville and Miss Pitts are pre-
sented as a married couple living in a
"hick" town on the shore of Long Is
land Sound, with the husband dreaming
OF career as captain of an ocean-going
freighter-and working in a mental
position on an Albany river night boat
The fun begins in real earnest when his
wife, in an attempt to satisfy his long
ing, secretly spends their entire joint
savings to buy for him the little ferry
boat which operates out of their town,
notwithstanding the factsthat the ambi-
tious Slim regards the ram shackle tub
with lofty contempt.
Never before have Summerville and
Miss Pitts been so aptly cast as in Her
First Mate and never before have
they appeared together in picture SO
plentifully supplied with funny situa=
tions and dialogue. The same degree
of excellence is noticeable in the cast
which has made the most of every stu
alton.
