Yesterday we ran a picture
ol Scout Purdy in place of
Scout Crouch, awarded his sec
ond heroism medal. But both
of the young Scouts are fine
looking youngsters and so they
haven't objected. Here’s the
picture of Newton Crouch that
we intended to run.

Remember one time a certain
big paper in a certain big Sou
thern city made a mistake in a
picture it—ran. It happened
that two women were running
for president of a large woman’s
organization. The contest had
gotten so hot that the two wo
men would not speak when they
met. The paper actually ran
the picture of “Mrs. A.' and
called It “Mrs. B Maybe the
telephone didn't burn up when
those two women, one at a time,
»
told the city editor what they
thought of him.

Jealousy is a funny thing.
That Is it would be funny If it
wasn't so pathetic. It eats the
heart out of the best man or
woman, once it works its way |
into their being. If we could j
eliminate jealousies this would
be a wonderful world In which
f
to live. And the sad part about
jealousy, or we should say the
just thing about It. is that it al
ways hurts the person who har
bors it more than it does tjie
other party.
