Heater Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS If the sunshine of faith and the serene heaven of resolution meet the ripe hour all is well; but if you, jaint, repel delay, they wither at the core, and your crown is stolen from you and your privilege set aside.—Caroline H. Dall. Film Children Given Fabulous Pay Two children of the films have been mentioned prominently recently in connection with engagements for screen work which bring to them enormous sums—hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. One year's salary of these little ones—one talented boy and one baby girl of three and one-half years—is far more than the average man can earn in an average life time. It seems grossly inequitable, in the scheme of things. But there is another angle to this which is to be regretted. Such immense wealth for children not out of the nursery is a blighting influence on their young lives. They cannot live the sweet, natural care-free existence of the average child. They are pampered and put under strain and surrounded by hothouse artificiality. They become old before their time. And possession of such great wealth even though parents wisely may supervise it, is demoralizing the conditions. Far better off would children be without the handicap of great riches and of exacting cares to cumber their infantile years. And yet good, clean pictures made by children, are an inspiration and a delight to millions. Governmental rule in this country should be one and visible, just as the union of the states should be one and indivisible. Coal Production for the Public The controversy between mine operators and miners in the anthracite field is not a private quarrel as Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, vigorously reminds both parties to the difference. The public is vitally interested and in behalf of the public Governor Pinchot very commendably gives notice that "the public interest demands that this controversy shall be settled and that a suspension of mining shall be averted; the thing is possible, and it must be done."

Coal Production for the Public The controversy between mine operators and miners in the anthracite field is not a private quarrel as Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, vigorously reminds both parties to the difference. The public is vitally interested and in behalf of the public Governor Pinchot very commendably gives notice that "the public interest demands that this controversy shall be settled and that a suspension of mining shall be averted; the thing is possible, and it must be done." Settlement of this dispute "is absolutely necessary for the public safety and welfare," Goevrnor Pinchot warns. "The public needs and must have coal." This is the bold spirit in which the crisis should be approached. The public's welfare is more than co-equal to the interests of labor and capital employed in the mining industry. The mines should be kept at work. Differences between the miners and mine operators should be settled by direct negotiations between them, if possible. If not possible, then by arbitration. The public should not be harassed by a fuel crisis that is preventable. The President of the United States is overworked, at best. Many who are familiar with conditions at the White House say that President Harding died a martyr to duty. This sort of martyrdom should be relieved of much of the routine that bears him down. Calvin Coolidge brings to the Presidency a disciplined mind and a heart full of devotion to high ideals in citizenship and in government. His administration should be such as to command the confidence and respect of his countrymen.

The cashier tells you enough. The girl who knows how to do her own sewing doesn't sow many wild oats. A seaside resort is a place in which many go out to swim and few go in. Blessed are the peace makers. They never have to worry about unemployment. The five senses are an endowment; The common horse kind is a product of experience. A careful driver is one who can wear out a car without the assistance of a locomotive. Each day sees a new cigar put on the market. Huh? Well, at any rate it has a new name and a new brand. The old-fashioned cradle lasted longer than a bassinet. Ah, well, it was needed longer. Only three more months until we can begin to say that summer is our favorite season, after all. The modern youngster may not reach his majority until he is 21, but he is unanimous long before that. Siberians are hard up, though they have many furs. We know husbands who are hard up because their wives have furs. We confess to getting old, and an orator reminds us of a honey- POEMS THAT IVE HOW OFT AS I HER BEAUTY DO BEHOLD So oft as I her beauty do behold, And therewith do her cruelty compart, I marvel of what substance was the mould, The which her made at once so cruel fair, Not earth for her high thoughts more heavenly are; Not water, for her love doth burn like fire; Not air, for she is not so light or rare; Not fire, for she doth freeze with faint desire. There needs another element inquire Whereof she mote be made—that is, the sky; For to the heaven her haughty looks aspire, And eke her mind is pure immortal high. Then, sith to heaven ye liken are the best, Be like in mercy as in all the rest. —Edmund Spenser. DINNER STORIES A lawyer who is also an enthusiastic chicken fancier spends much money codding blooded Only three more months until we can begin to say summer is our favorite season, after all. The modern youngster may not reach his majority until he is 21, but he is unanimous long before that. Siberians are hard up, though they have many furs. We know husbands who are hard up because their wives have furs. We confess to getting old, and an orator reminds us of a honeybee. He makes the greatest impression when he sits down. After his numerous defeats, it is reasonable that Mr. Bryan should be a little sensitive about all efforts to make monkeys out of men. "It seems like I haint done nothin' all my life but wait for my wife t' dress," said Tipton Bud, t'day. Th' roastin' ear season is on, an' th' little do-dad mustaches jest look too cute mov-in' with traffic. DINNER STORIES A lawyer who is also an enthusiastic chicken fancier spends much money codding blooded hens that are usually too high-class to work, says a prize story in Judge. One year he had several hens guaranteed to be the best sort of layers, yet morning after morning he returned empty-handed from his search for eggs. He had about given up hope. So on the morning of his birthday he was delightfully surprised to find four beautiful, pearly eggs in a nest. He quickly gathered them up planning just how triumphantly he would show them to his skeptical wife. Not until he reached the door of the house and was just ready to yodel a triumphant, "Whoowhoo!" did he notice that each one bore the neatly penelled greeting, "Birthday greetings from the old hen." The audience was very unkind at the speaker's temperance lecture and kept interrupting, says the North Carolina Boll Weevil. At last he hired an ex-princefighter to keep order. That night he contrasted the content of home life with the squalor of drunkenness. "What is it we want when we return home from our daily toll?" he asked. "What do we want to ease our burden, to gladden our hearts to bring smiles to our faces and joyous songs to our lives?" He paused for effect, and in silence the voice of the keeper of the peace could be heard: "Mind," he said, "the first guy that says 'beer,' out he goes with a bang." At any rate the grasshopper is not without honor among fishermen. They also serve who only act as bait. A Western state is buying new convict uniforms to replace the old ones. We didn't know those things were ever worn out. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST, 1923. Subscription Rate—In No. Orange co.

He thought if he stayed up till 9 He'd not survive the shock. He doped himself with patent stuff And greased his throat and chest. He suffered some from rheumatis Now grandpop stays up till all hours. He's gay and full of pep. If there are doings going on He doesn't miss a step. He doesn't hurry off to bed And twirl the blankets huddle. Grandpop puts on his shimmy shoes And steps the puppy cuddle. Atlantic City pastor invites men to take off their coats in his church during hot weather. If restaurant keepers would do the same they would also play to larger audiences. G. B. Shaw does not believe in sending men to prison. He says it makes them worse. If Mr. Shaw is ever held up or burgled, we would be glad to have his revised opinion. It is said Bandit Villa of Mexico left five widows. He left more than that. He left several hundred every time he fared forth on his disreputable business. A bricklayer in Moscow gets 50 cents a day and a bricklayer in New York gets $15. The soviet idea has a grand chance in this country. If Herb Hoover casts his dice into the presidential ring he will be sure of at least the entire European vote. That ought to help some. Boston man says anybody who spends more than $2 a week on food is extravagant. In this neighborhood anybody who doesn't spend more than that is dead.
