Nof long ago a man came into thin
office nnd stopped his paper liocause
he said it was always printing a lot
of nows about the same people and
he was sick of it.
Now, when something goes wrong
with the country the government ap
points n commission to investigate
nnd find out what is the matter. And
the first thing the commission inves
tigates is the mnn who made the
holler to sec if the holler was u rea
sonable holler.
So we appointed a commission con
sisting of ourself to Investigate this
man. We didn’t have to go out any
where to do it. We just sat in the
editor’s uneasy chair and followed
that man’s career ever since we knew
him.
The first thing that happened to
that man was that he was born, 1>ut
he had nothing to do with that. How
ever, we mentioned it, and mentioned
him, although his parents were en
titled to all the credit.
When he was in his early twenties
he, got married, and we mentioned
that, including the name of the bride
and the preacher and the relatives
from somewhere else. In fact we
mentioned everything hut the preach
er’s fee, which was hnrdly worth
mentioning.
Wo must confess that the only time
we have ever mentioned him since
was to say that he was wearing a
broad smile because of the arrival
of a boy or a girl. We searched ouy
files but we must own up that the only
time he ever broke into the paper was
by the help of somebody else.
We never mentioned the fact that
he evor won any premiums at the
county fair, because he never ex
hibited anything. We never included
his name in a list of committees be
cause he never attended anything.
We never printed his name in a list
of donors to anything, because he
never donated so much as a dough-
nut.
We certainly have been treating this
mnn shameful. But we will agree to
run u nice obituary when the time
comes and tell you who were at the
funeral. We will even give him
special prominence, although wo
honestly believe he will bo the most
unimportant person there.
At the same time, we are afraid we
will hnvc to go right ahead mention
ing these people that we have been
mentioning with such frequency. They
have a habit of boosting the board of
trade, and helping the church, and
mixing in politics, and getting un
parndes, and financing the baseball
team, nnd running the lodges, and a
lot of other things, so their names are
bound to creep into the paper.
But, come to think of it, that isn’t
news about them so much as it is
news about the town. For it is such
things ns these that are mnking the
town life and the town progress; and,
if wo left their names out, we would
pretty nearly have to leave out the
name of the town. And we won’t
do that—not if we lose two subscrib
ers. -The Community Builder.

Forrest Adair
Starts Movement
Atlanta, Nov. 12.—Tin- “Paint a
House” and “Put on a New Roof”
movement is taking hold in Atlanta,
following the strong suggestion ot
Forrest Adair, one of the city’s lend-
. ing real estate men and civic welfare
workers. Mr. Adair is one of those
optomists who do not give up, and
he says everybody would be better
off if they’d quit talking hard times
ami do something.
“It- is a time to quit talking war
and cotton and go to work,” said Mr.
Adair. "There are five thousand
houses here that need painting; as
many need new roofs. Now is the
best time in many a year for property
owners to start a thorough clean-up
nnd paint up campaign. You do your
self good and make jobs for a lot of
people who need the work. And
providing work is a lot better than
giving charity.”

thinking public is limited to 50,000

opinion it was limited to G. B. S.

The propellers have thirteen inch

As an aid the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal sale and the Anti-Tuber
culosis Campaign, a motion picture
dealing with the problem of tuber
culosis in children has been prepared
by Thomas A. Edison, and beginning
next week it will be shown through
out the country. The film was pro
duced in co-operation with the Na
tional Association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis.
The plot of the picture, which is
entitled “The Temple of Moloch,” is
laid in a small village, the chief in
dustries of which arc some potteries
owned by Harrison Pratt. He also
owns a group of dilapidated tene
ments, in which most of his employes
live. Dr. Jordan, health officer of
the village, is struck with the preval
ence of tuberculosis and on investiga
tion finds that the unsanitary work
ing conditions in the Pratt potteries,
together with the unhealthy state of
the tenement homes of the workmen
have most to do with the spread of
the disease. He calls the matter to
the attention of Pratt, who rebuffs
him and tells him it is no use to try
to do anything in the matter.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jordan has fallen in
love with Eloise, the daughter of Har
rison Pratt, and she has become in
terested in his work, particularly that
at the preventorium for children from
tuberculous families. Three times
Jordan appeals to Pratt, and each
time he is rebuffed. Finally, in des
pair between his love for Eloise and
his duty, he exposes the conditions
he has discovered through articles in
the newspapers, in which he calls the
Pratt potteries and tenements a mod
em “Temple of Moloch,” in that they
feed young children to the God of
Greed. When Eloise, who is ignor
ant of conditions in the factory, sees
the paper she immediately resents
what she considers nn insult to her
father nnd returns her engagement
ring to Dr. Jordan.
A week later Pratt’s daughter and
son are found to have tuberculosis.
When Eric Swanson, a former em
ploye of Pratt’s, who hnd been dis
charged because he had contracted
Spotter's rot” in the mills nnd was no
longer able to work, hears of
it, he exults over the calamity, which
he views as a sort of personal ven
geance. He musters all of his
strength and steals awav to the Pratt
home, where Eloise nnd her brother
are taking the cure for tuherculosis
on the norch nnd thore denounces
Pratt, gloating over him and telling
him that his son nnd daughter wore
originally infected ns younc children
by Cora Swanson, when she served
as nurse-girl for the Pratts several
years ago. So struck is Pratt by this
denunciation and the craphic story
of Swanson, which is affirmed by Dr.
Jordan, thnt he decides to clean up
Pennants or banners will be given

National Association for the Study

among the largest, buyers per capita
selling over 22.000 with n population
of 1200. Some cities in Now York,
Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Rhode
Island and other states sold from
three to six per resident. The Na
tional Association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis, which is
carrying on the promotion of the sale

penses of the sale, go to fight tuber-
■culosis in the community, state, city,
or town where the seals are sold.
