A PLUckY BOYS REWARD

What does stray pup amount to-,
anyway? What does it matter if such a
helpless animal is abused and tortured to
make sport for gang of thoughtless boys?
Who cares?
One small boys cared-and because
he cared he made friend-a friend who
didn't forget
Some years ago kindly man named
Jacob SiIer walked along the bank of the
Mississippi river near St Louis and came
upon group of boys who were amusing
themselves by throwing a stray pup into
the river time after time, in spite of the
protests of one small companion Finally
the pups defender engaged the others in
fistic combat to save the wretched animal
from drowning. He battled SO courag-
eously that he won the day and saved the
pup.
Mr.. Siler commended the boy, whose
name was Otto Schmidt, and between the
two lifelong friendship sprang up. Siler
died some time ago and left $500 to the
boy, now a man whose humane instincts
and courage had rescued the poor dog and
won the admiration of the casual passerby.
Those who befriend unfortunate ami
mails do not always obtain material re-
wards such as came to Otto Schmidt, but
they inevitably have the reward of an APP
proving conscience, which is greater still.

A LITTLE TOO UNANIMOUS

Constantine Brown is a writer on for
eign affairs for one of the newspapers
published in Washington and, like others
who write much, says some good things
and, occasionally, some silly things
For instance, writing about the D.
100000 Germans and 100000 Italians
living in Brazil, Mr.. Brown develops a
Fascist-Nazi complex, asserting that all
these residents of Brazil follow the die
tates of their respective governments as
scrupulously as if they lived in Germany
or in Italy"
He surely knows better They may
follow the pattern of their native lands in
the new places where they live but that
100000 or 100000 people take orders
from any homeland is absurd.
The danger that confronts Brazil, it
seems, is that this large group may be ex-
pected to support an effort to establish
Fascist or Nazist regimes Perhaps. if
such an attempt is made it will be dis
covered that, like the COMMUNICATIONS
in the United States, most of them will be
loyal to the new land of their adoption.

China, launched with much talk of COM

peace in the Far East. has followed the
usual routine Of one nation trying to take
part Of the territory of another nation.
There is no excuse whatever for the
Japanese offensive. unless the diSinclina.
ton Of the Chinese to be friendly with the
people of the nation which has moleSted
them for years. is cause for warfare.
Just what will be the result of the
struggle remains uncertain although there
does not seem much prospect for a Chinese
victory on the hattlefields. However. the
Chinese may put up such spirited resist

plishes will cost the island empire more

READING PRovoKEs THINKING

Among that 1897 resolutions that you
probably forgot to make ought to have
been one that you would read sensible
book, on a sensible subject, at least every
month
When a man or woman takes a year
to write book on any subject those in
terested in the topic ought to be able to
stand the work for several hours without
brainfag.
There are entirely too many people in
Key West who take it for granted that
they can learn everything that is worth
knowing from current comment related by
gossipping friends.
Thinking is what makes men amount
to something. The more the people of a
community think the better and the more
prosperous that community is. You
needn't ask us to prove that statement.
We haven't the time and doubt if we have
the brains, but it is the truth, all the
same.
