IS WORLD GROWING BETTER?

Can we again say the world is
growing no better?
In about the year 1925, there
was published in the Western News
the pitiful story of a mother bear
and her two little cubs at Warland.
A young school boy of around
10 years being out in the woods
saw large mother bear and two
small cubs His only thought was to
kill them. Fastening home he got
gun, went back, shol and killed
the mother and both cubs. His state
ment in the paper was that she
made no attempt to modest or at
tack him at any time The amaz-
ing thing about this triple slaughter,
however, was that his teacher, a
woman thinking people might
doubt the heroic accomplishment
(?) of the boy made an affidavit
and sent it to the paper stating
that the boy alone killed the three
bears as he said he did.
The lad, it would seem, had
neither appreciation nor understand
ing of wild creatures.
To love and enjoy the sight of
wild things in their native habitat
should be taught early to every
child To deepen his spiritual ma
ture, to widen his field of enjoy
ment, and to teach him respect for
what God has created.
Shooting these three bears as this
boy did was Wanton destruction
of interesting native animals, as
they were, as he said, doing no
harm and the flesh at that time
was unfit for food.
When / read of the kindly treat
ment Mr.. Vester Anderson and his
crew of sawyers accorded another
mother bear and her babies few
weeks ago near the same place at
Warland, | was glad, indeed, to
know there were men of such con-
sideration and understanding SYM
pathy i'm our community, sparing the
lives and sharing their food with
the unfortunate little family
This generous act has been ra-
diced over most of the u. S., and
Lincoln county will receive more
kindly attention and more publicity
from it than from all the bears
that have been recklessly killed
here in all time. The majority of
the people do not enjoy hearing of
wanton killing.
| Let us hope this kindly act of
Mr.. Anderson and his crew of saw
yers will help teach young boys
throughout the country to appreci-
ate and enjoy wild creatures and
help them to know there are 9TH
er more satisfying ways of enjoy
ment of animal life than in always
killing it.

A Tip to the Wise

Here is something that's too good
a joke on the women to let pass
without comment. 1t should give the
men valuable suggestion. Here
after when a man is held-up by rob-
bers, he must be sure to tell them
he is married and he will prob
ably be permitted to 60 scot free.
AT least that is the deduction one
would gather from a little incident
that took place in Philadelphia last
week.
Two passengers held up a taxi
driver and relieved him of $500.
When half block away they turned
and came back.
rs that all you've got?" one OF
them asked.
That's all. You see, I'm married ?
One robber then handed the $500
back. And the other one produced
rs cents in change, with the re-
mark:
You'll need tip, too
The humorist has said that mar
riage is an institution which gives
man double duties and half the
rights. And in a disillusioned mo-
ment he added, marriage is long
conversation chequered by disputes
The two hold-up men must have
had something like that in mind
when they repented, refunded their
take" to the victim with an added
tip for the trouble they had caused
him.
Men in distress must stick to-

A Real Patriot

General Douglas Macarthur is
one of the heroes this war has pro-
duced. He holds high rank in the
hearts of his countrymen and every
thing he does adds to that high re-
gard. Congressman A. L. Miller Of
Nebraska recently published, with
out permission, some letters he had
received from Macarthur and urged
the General to become an active
candidate for the presidency. This
brought forth statement by Gen.
eral Macarthur in which the high
character Of the maA shines forth.
He said his sole aabitin is to per-

Be Careful on
Dark Nights

It's good thing the days of
Witchcraft are over. Otherwise
someone would be getting into a
peck of trouble in the vicinity of
a certain country school house at
Plum. Creek, N. D. There have
been COINS on there that can only
be explained by blaming them onto
some ghost-hke supernatural force.
OF course you've read in your
daily newspaper about the mys-
FERROUS trouble at this bewitched
school house; how one day Jumps
of coal began to shoot violently out
of the coal shuttle, fly against a
nearby wall and bounce back into
the room; the dictionary exploded;
exercise papers under pupils hands
burst into flame; Grapes on the VIM
dows smoked.
Samples Of the coal were sent to
chemist who could detect no
chemical that might have caused
the strange doings. A careful ex-
animation Of the school room throws
no Light on the mystery. The F. B. /.
has been cslled in.

some riddle. And as is the habit

Behind movie headlines:


The "series" business, most profit
able of all pictures at MGM for
"a great many years, may go COM

on that lot. The 'Dr. Gillespie

Lionel Barrymore's inability to leave

sion of his salary while in service

Ann Sothern is repeatedly serving an
|ultlmatum that they must get an
other little girl to play the Maisie
series because she wants more i'm
portant assignments. Even the Tar
zans have been kicked out at MGM,
again falling in the lap of Sol Lesser.
Big plunge in postwar production
will be two-reel comedies and other
special shorts. Milton Berle has an

comedies in the East. joyce

of bomber crew, worked up to a
thrilling climax. Too bad the public
can't get look at such films. This

everywhere and do plenty for civil

as an actor to become a director.

the same sense of menace it pos

There apparently now is nothing
left for Miss du Maurier but to

ASK COOPERATION
 TO FREEZE PRICES
Excessive Charges for New AutOmOtive Parts Should
 Be Reported

Tn support of the Office of Price Administration efforts to curb vio- lations of price ceilings on automo- tive parts, the Oflce of Defense Transportation today asked truck operators to report all instances of excessive charges for. new parts.
 Frank V. Richo, New Haven dis trict manager of the ODT Division of Motor Transport, said that under the new plan truck operators should immediately report to the nearest ODT district office any alleged vio- lation of the OPA price ceiling on truck parts. Tn reporting such cases, the following information should be given: Name of the truck operator; name and locatoin of the parts dealer; date and time of sale: type of part or parts; the OPA ceil- ing price, the price asked by the dealer, and the price paid.
 This information will be promptly transmitted to OPA enforcement agents for immediate investigation and appropriate action, Mir. Richo said.
 Illegal prices for parts contribute materially to the increased cost of operation of motor carriers" he pointed out, adding that many com- plants have been received of ex- orbitAnt charges for necessary parts.
 ThS success of the new drive against price violations, MT. Richo emphasized, will depend on the full est cooperation of the motor car riers.
