Sewell. Thus libertines are chaste, and misers Borrows the color of a virtuous deed. Everybody co-operate for the safety of traffic! Exemplifying the Golden Rule in traffic would minimize its perils. The world's hope of permanent peace is brighter today than it ever was. The Nation should keep faith with the gallant service men of the World War. The boy or girl who is not trained to thoroughness in studies, is given a bad start in life. Let not the girl of modesty and good sense think that she is at a discount in the matrimonial market. Father Adam came out of Eden with a bad record, not only as a sinner but as a sidestepper of blame. Why, any Boy Scout today would be more chivalrous than to blame a woman as Adam did! There is potential dynamite in national hatred and distrusts. The cause of peace can be served by dissolving international hatred and distrust in the clear, clean composition of mutual understanding and good will. This naval holiday should be followed by an army holiday. The time is ripe for all great nations to get together and agree to disarm so sweepingly, both on land and on sea, that another war would be a military impossibility. IRELAND GAINS PEACE BY AGREEMENT By an agreement between representatives of the northern and southern governments of Ireland, peace seems to be assured that historic island. The situation had become very ominous and distressing, bordering on civil war. But Michael Collins, head of the provisional government, and Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, have worked out an agreement that promises better relations between the two sections of Erin. Friends of Ireland all over the world will rejoice that these epochal developments are taking place, assuring a greater measure of political freedom for Ireland and a firmer foundation for peace, order and prosperity there. The controversies of centuries are passing. A new era is dawning upon Ireland. Its energies and its talents henceforth will be directed to the economic development of the island and to the fostering of institutions and policies for the uplift, advancement, comfort and happiness of the Irish people. The prospect is one to make all friends and well-wishers of Ireland rejoice. RENOWNED MARSHAL IS FOR PEACE Gathering inspiration by standing on the boundary between the United States and Canada and dedicating the International Peace Portal at Blaine, Wn., commemorating more than a century of peace without fortifications on the boundary between these two sister countries, Marshal Joffre, renowned warrior of France, expressed the hope and the wish that the peace now existing never be broken. "Every nation must be ready to defend its freedom," he added; "true peace must come through freedom and equality of the nations of the world." It is inspiring and extremely significant to note that the most distinguished military leaders of the World War—American, British, French Robert Bridge laureate, is again sure to function. He that the affluent where it listeth, has a wedding march Princess Mary to Lord Tennyson; the official Pegasus nyson was a laureat work and had thence vera at his fini the epithalamium; the processional a child's play for him take out a class to order.

The time is ripe for all great nations to get together and agree to disarm so sweepingly, both on land and on sea, that another war would be a military impossibility. Every child should have, as a birthright, a God-fearing mother. Every child should have, as a birthright, wholesome, refining teaching at its mother's knee—teaching that will be guidance and inspiration to honorable, useful living in after years. The curse of this age is selfishness and dissolute indulgence. Too many grasp for and obtain unjust gains and unfair privileges. Too many shirk labor and spend their days in riotous living. Society ultimately must and will protect itself against these parasites. Islam gives signs of drawing the sword and plunging into a "holy war." European diplomacy must best stir itself and handle affairs in the Near East and in Southern Asia and Northern Africa with consummate that and wisdom, or a mighty conflict between the Moslem hordes and Christian nations may be precipitated. Nobody will gain from the coal miners' strike. The public will lose enormously. Is this right? Should the public be subject to trying ordeals like this, every two or three years? Should not the coal-mining industry be stabilized, and should not the miners be required to work, to meet the normal demands of the country for fuel? Don't wait for your ship to come in BUILD NOW It is better by far to build within your present means than to defer building on account of not being able to construct just the kind of a home you are desirous of owning; even though it be a temporary dwelling place, it will relieve you from the burden of paying rent and be your own. International Peace Portal at Blaine, Wn., commemorating more than a century of peace without fortifications on the boundary between these two sister countries, Marshal Joffre, renowned warrior of France, expressed the hope and the wish that the peace now existing never be broken. "Every nation must be ready to defend its freedom," he added; "true peace must come through freedom and equality of the nations of the world." It is inspiring and extremely significant to note that the most distinguished military leaders of the World War—American, British, French, Italian, Belgian—all are fervently for peace, and so express themselves whenever they have occasion. There is not one of them that counsels war or that talks in terms of militarism. This augurs well. It denotes a new epoch in human affairs, with sentiment and action tending toward peace in all the great nations of the earth. WISE AND WITTY Don't allow your politeness to slop over. A boss is as necessary in business as in politics. Close observers and rubber-necks are cut from the same goods. It takes brain to distinguish between truth and a jumble of words. As a rule, men are not quite so bad nor women quite so good as is generally believed. Schools should teach us how to get more of the gravy in our mouths and not so much on our Sunday clothes. Look over the last syllable to industry. He who should teach men to die, should at the same time teach them how to live—Montaligne.

Store Hours: Except Sunday 8 to 12—1 to 5:30 Special Appointment By Request Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying HARDSHIPS OF A LAUREATE—Chicago News. Robert Bridges, the English poet laureate, is again under fire for failure to function. Holding, as he does, that the affluent bloweth when and where it listeth, he refused to pump a wedding march for the marriage of Princess Mary to Viscount Lascelles. Lord Tennyson set a stiff pace for the official Pegasus to follow. Tennyson was a laureate who loved his work and had the technic of occasional verse at his fingertips. The pacan, the epithalamium, the genethaliacon, the processional and the dirge were child's play for him. He had only to take out a classical pattern and cut to order. It is unfair to compare Bridges to Tennyson. Times have changed in poetry, and occasional verse has gone out of fashion. The hallowed imagery is no longer tolerated. Poet Laureate Bridges knows that if he married the sturdy elm to the clinging vine in classic fashion, or penned nuptial stanzas after the Spenserian system he might please Horatio Bottomley, but he would be hooted by the whole choir of modern poets. The question of the hour is, Shall Bridges get the sack or not? Poets defend him, but business men like Bottomley consider the annual butt of sack allowed to the poet laureate wasted on a bard who finds in it no inspiration. Town in Review Down Wall Street Way En route to the wall, they no doubt sing "The old broken bucket shop." If you are one of the 109,376-498 Americans writing 'em you will be interested in this John Emerson recently told in a radio talk how to market scenarios. He answered the questions most asked in the past year. In brief, his advice was—Unpublished stories are more in demand in Hollywood than in New York. It is most convenient to sell your story to a magazine first and then market the movie rights. Send stories to scenario editors in short story synopsis form. Original stories sell from $500 to $50,000, depending on whom you are and whom you sell to. Romantic melodramas and comedies are most in demand. Try to get studio experience in any capacity, from charwoman to extra. You can't copyright scanrios, as such, but you can copyright short stories and retain the movie rights. Says JohnP. Medbury There's only one thing which requires more nerve than to turn down a book agent and that's to be the book agent. One of these birds goes right into your office and tries to sell you a book whether you've got one or not. You get so sore you can't think of any names to call him and then he wants to sell you a dictionary so you can find some names. You can never insult a book agent. You can swear at him, kick him out of the door and throw him down the stairs, but you can't insult him. He offers you a book on "How to Get a Wife." When you tell him you've got a wife he wants to sell you one on "How to Get Rid of Her." These book agents have had so much experience that they can answer anything before you ask them something. One book agent told a man that he had business reverses last year. He NEW YORK, April 4.—Capitalists here are much interested in the new mining ventures, headed by Harry Payne Whitney, Bulkeley Wells and Charles M. Schwab, in the old Comstock lode, which made Nevada at one time the greatest gold producing state in the union. Generations ago more than $700,000,000 worth of gold and silver was taken out of the ground there and such fortunes as the MacKay, Fair Flood and Mills may truly be said to have started there. Now New Yorkers are spending more than $7,000,000 in preparation for mining the millions of tons of low grade ores remaining the Comstock. Virginia City, Dayton, Silver City and other camps made famous by Bret Harte and Mark Twain, from being deserted villages have become thriving towns where it is almost impossible to obtain bed and board. One of the most interesting developments is that of the Carson River bed where government experts say close to $300,000,000 in gold and silver was lost thru the crude reduction methods of the seven mills working there. W. C. Ralston, former senator and assistant treasurer of the U.S. in San Francisco, is in charge of this work and has associated with him a number of prominent New Yorkers. Members of the New York police automobile squad say that 60 per cent of the autos stolen in this city are "stolen" with their owners' consent and best wishes. The 30 years war has a rival; one which equals its record of length. In 1888, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Meeker were married. Six months later they began trying to get divorced. They are still trying. Mr. Meeker now lives in Plainfield, N.J., one of our most popular suburbs, and Mrs. Meeker, in Riverdale another attractive commuting stop out of New York. They never have quite achieved the decree, although efforts have been made almost alternately by both sides either for divorce or legal separation. The palm of partial victory has come first to one and then the other but they still are man and wife. Vice Chancellors have listened to the case considered it and been removed from It is most convenient to sell your story to a magazine first and then market the movie rights.

You can't copyright scariros, as such but you can copyright short stories and retain the movie rights. A synopsis should be 500 to 1000 words long. OPEN SEASON FOR POTATO BUGS Jasper Murray has been bugging his potatoes this week. Fred Wells and Bede Stemm have been potato bugging at Freeman's this week. As we passed by Sister Breckle's home we thought she had not used enough Paris green on her potatoes. Fred Abrams says he heard of a woman who with all the kids picked four gallons of potato bugs and put them in the stove thinking there was fire enough to burn them; but there wasn't and they crawled out all over the house.—Jewell, Kai Republican. I Will Sprinkle of Riverside has one of the most highly improved lawns in that fair city. SOCIAL ITEM Miss Flae Copley and Miss Sode Music were horse-back riding Thursday.—Martin County, Ky., Advertiser There are two kinds of men! The one that a grease spot on his necktie makes uncomfortable. The one who wouldn't be comfortable without a few spots on his necktie. Miss Florence Fernhill of Fullerton admits that she wears a shoe larger than her big, brother, but remarks that if the fellow she is keeping company with doesn't like it he knows what he can do. What has become of the o.f. girl who used to sit down at the piano, play her own accompaniment and sing: "Just Tell Them That You Saw Me?" I am not an exceptionally good authority on the Scriptures, but I know that you may build your house on sand and be assured that winds may come and the waves beat upon it, and it will not fall if you have plenty of concrete with the sand. THE MAKING OF A POLITICIAN Nature abhors a vacuum, so when she finds one in a human head, she fills it with words—Greenville Piedmont. You can swear at him, kick him out of the door and throw him down the stairs, but you can't insult him. He offers you a book on "How to Get a Wife." When you tell him you've got a wife he wants to sell you one on "How to Get Rid of Her." These book agents have had so much experience that they can answer anything before you ask them something. One book agent told a man that he had business reverses last year. He had lock-jaw. He explains that the books only cost you sixty dollars, and they're cheap even if you pay it. You can get them for a dollar down and a dollar every time the collector sees you peeking through the curtain. He tells you the books are bound in genuine leather, and if you don't believe it he'll bring you a picture of the cow they took the leather from. He says that after you read the books if you don't like them you can return them and try to get your money back. He tells you that if you don't read you ought to buy the book for your wife and when you tell him you don't like your wife he asks you if you wouldn't like to buy the book, to throw at her some time. There's only one book agent who's ever been really successful. He sold books on "How to Get Rid of Book Agents." One book agent asked a man if he'd spend five dollars for "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," and he said he never put up any money on the races. Of course, some of the people the book agents deal with are dumb. One guy thought an encyclopedia was something to ride. He thought Huekleberry Finn was a French pastry. Another guy was under the impression that Black Beauty was the autobiography of Jack Johnson. "There ain't much difference between investigatin' an' snoopin'." Typewriters —The R.A.

SPRING The orchard and the wildwood A sea of blossom are; Warm breezes waft their perfume Faintly sweet, afar. Rippling-now the frozen brook; Violets spring from sheltered nook. Lark and robia on the wing. Sunny days are heralding. Quickened every living thing: 'Tis Spring. All so lately seared and bare Is now a vivid green; April showers turn azure sky To vault of misty sheen. Impetuous youth and gentle maid Plight new love in shady glade. Nesting bird calls to its mate; Lacey vines climb fence and gate; Golden sunsets linger late. 'Tis Spring. Snowy caps of mountain peaks Editor Plain Dealer: Our last grand jurors in their report stated that they found the dirt roads of the county in very good condition. It would be interesting to those who travel the dirt roads to know just which of the roads said jurors traveled that they could make such a report. This same jury, however, made one good suggestion—that all dirt roads be worked as soon after each rain as practicable. They failed to state how this could be done. In fact, it cannot be done with the force at the command of our supervisors. Obviously all or nearly all the dirt roads are ready to be worked at the same time to get the best results. Roads are being worked now that should have been done two weeks ago. The result is that a lot of dry dirt is being scraped into the chucks only to be blown out by the wind or knocked out by wheels of vehicles. Ours is a county of tractors. They are in evidence everywhere. Why not enlist the services of some of our ranchers to put their tractors on a certain stretch of road after each rain, drawing a Long Tom or a split log drag, or even a common harrow would help, but by all means get the work done when it should be to get best results. Each supervisorial district could have an organization of this kind. It might take a few dollars from the road boes but the people wouldn't object to that in the least if they had better dirt roads to travel. WOOD B. FARMER.
