Better Colored Schools In South Carolina Best Elements of Both Races Cooperating To That End Columbia, S. C., July 29 (Special): —The white people of many South Carolina communities are cooperating heartily with the colored people in the effort to secure better educational facilities for the children of the latter. At Johnson, S. C., a movement is now on foot to provide a $6,000, six-room Rosenwald School. The Negroes have been raising funds for the purchase of a four-acre site, the Rosenwald Fund will supply $1600 toward the building, and the balance will be provided from State and county funds and by private subscription. A similar enterprise has just been completed at Batesburg, where a $4,500 school was erected by these cooperating agencies, and the contract has been let for a $6000 school at Leesville, for which provisions has been made in the same way. These are among the most recent illustrations of the friendly and helpful relations for which the best people of both races are striving and which inter-racial committees are doing much to foster throughout the South. To this end a strong state committee has been set up in each Southern State and local committees have been organized in 800 counties. A. E. HON. S. W. WALKER ATLANTA, GA. Pioneer Race Man.

Georgia Governor Promises Punishment To Lynchers The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in its office, 70 Fifth Avenue, today the receipt of a letter from Governor Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia regarding the lynching of Joe Jordan and James Harvey, two young colored men, convicted of assault, who were lynched on July 1 at Lanes Bridge, Georgia, after they had been granted a respite of 30 days by the Governor. In reply to the Association's request that not only the lynchers be punished but that Sheriff Rogers of Wayne County, Georgia, and Deputy Sheriff Tyre, who permitted the mob to take the prisoners from him, be adequately punished. The Governor replied: By Courtesy Wisconsin News Cong. W. H. Stafford Fifth Cong. District, Milwaukee The N.A.

Commenting on the prospects of the next harvest in Russia, Mr. Hoover declares:— "Whatever the supply may be, it seems likely there will be sporadic hardship in some localities due to the breakdown in distribution; extreme poverty will continue in the cities and Jewish communities and, furthermore, one result of the shifting population and the ravages of fama ce has been a considerable body of waif and destitute children that will require time for re-absorption.

Several million persons have been inoculated. Of the $59,000,000 mobilized for the purpose, 15,500,000 came out of the general funds of the American Relief Administration through food remittances and sundry donations. By Congressional authorization for food, seed and medical supplies $23,300,000 were provided. Gold supplies by the Soviet Government yielded $11,433,000. Leading the unofficial agencies combining towards this effort are the american Red Cross which voted $3,000,000 for medical supplies and the Joint Distribution committee which allocated $2,325,000.

I will do all I can to vindicate the law in this matter." Graebner Making Strong Campaign Candidate for District Attorney Getting Fine Support George J. Graebner, one of the first to announce his candidacy for the office of district attorney, is a Milwaukee, born and bred, educated in the Milwaukee schools and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin's law college. For thirteen years he has practiced law in Milwaukee, his only interruption in practice being when he closed his office in the First Wisconsin National bank building, and qualified for service overseas, although he was exempt. He was not satisfied to be commissioned judge advocate in the Wisconsin National guard, but wanted active service and won a commission as lieutenant after attending the officers' training camp at Camp Dodge, Ia. Everyone knows or knows of the Graebner family, for W. H. Graebner, father of the Republican candidate, was a former city treasurer and for fourteen years a member of the state board of control. He is also an active member of many state Lutheran associations, and acting head of the Badger Mutual Fire Insurance company. Like his father, Young Graebner has always been the friend of the colored people. Mr. Graebner's platform is concise and consistent. He is emphatic in his statement as to the fundamental principles that should guide a person entrusted with the office of district attorney. He considers the following absolutely necessary qualities: That the incumbent should prosecute fairly and impartially; should apply to the diversified problems confronting him day by day the ability to exercise sound discretion and good judgment; should at all times be courteous and patient; should follow implicitly the dictates of a conscience that seeks only for justice for all and the adequate protection of the community. Mr. Graebner also believes that the legislature should make into a law, the former "almost unwritten" law that the incumbent of the district attorney's office should serve only two terms, such as was done in the terms of W. H. Bennett and Francis E. McGovern. Between 4000 and 5000 names have been signed to Mr. Graebner's nomination papers, though the law only demands 2200, the excess proving Mr. Graebner's popularity in his own city and county. He was the first candidate for the office to file his papers. A Cluster of Proverbs He that is soon angry will deal foolishly. To the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

Senator Says: "Keep Marines in Hayti" Housekeeper of Congressional Library J. W. Fordney Announces His Retirement J. W. Fordney Announces His Retirement COMMITTEE CONTROL Claims-Hla Agriculture- Ark Education Ala Park Office GA. WASHINGTON. — Representative William R. Wood of Indiana was elected unanimously chairman of the national Republican congressional com- mittee to succeed Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, who retired to run for United States senator from Ohio. Mr. Wood has been vice chair- man of the congressional committee for six years. He has been a member of congress for eight years. Mr. Fess issued a statement reviewing his achievements as chairman since he assumed the position in 1918, and emphasizing the need for continued Republican domination. INDEFINITE continuance of American military occupation of Haytt, but with a reduction of the marine force, was recommended in a unanimous report presented by the special senate committee which for nine months has been investigating American administration in Haytt and Santo Domingo. The committee deferred announcement of its findings on Dominican affairs "in view of the negotiations happily begun between the State department and the Dominican leaders looking to the termination of military government in Santo Domingo." The declaration that early withdrawal of or drastic reduction in the American marine occupation force in Hayti would no followed certainly by brigandage and revolution was made in the report signed by Senator McCormick, Republican, Illinois, chairman, and Senators Oddie, Republican, Nevada; Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, and Jones, Democrat, New Mexico, who have held protracted hearings and who recently toured Hayti and Santo Domingo. The committee found that, on the whole, American administration in Hayti had been of great benefit to the Haytians and was so regarded, by a vast majority. The American record, however, was described as one both of "failure and achievement." There had b. some "blunders" and a few instances of cruelty against na WHERE? SEE THAT DIRT HOUSEKEEPER of a library is Mrs. Harriet DeKraft Woods, daughter of the late Rear Admiral DeKraft, United States navy, and widow of Arthur T. Woods, professor of mechanical engineering in the University of Illinois. She has been appointed to the post of what she calls "housekeeper" of the Library of Congress. Officially she is superintendent of buildings and grounds. She is the first woman to get the job. "What are you, as a woman, going to bring to this job that it never had before?" asked an interviewer. "A little keener vision as a housekeeper, perhaps; 'that's all. Women can see dirt you know, where men cannot. I've just made an inspection ANNOUNCEMENT by Representative Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan that he will not seek reelection to the house this fall means the probable elevation of Representative green of Iowa, to the chairmanship of the powerful ways and means committee at the session following March 4, 1923. Mr. Green now ranks next to Mr. Fordney in seniority among Republican members of the committee. He has served in the house for eleven years, having previously for seventeen years served as a judge in the state courts of Iowa. Representative Longworth of Ohio is next in order among Republican members of the ways and means committee. It is considered a possibility that Mr. Longworth may aspire to the chairmanship. Mr. Longworth participated in a movement to overthrow the senatority system when the Republicans regained control of the house and probably would have been named chairman of the ways and means committee instead of Mr. Fordney if that movement had been successful. Mr. Longworth has served in the house longer than Mr. Green, the pres-ter term being his ninth, but his serv- "Assuming that the present sitting Democratic ranking committee members of the house will be re-elected in November," Mr. Fess said, "the conduct of legislation will be transferred under the control and direction of mer who come from a small section of the country, if the Democrats win.

"In brief, under the treaty between Hayil and the United States," the report said, "the peace of the republic, the solvency of its government and the security of its people have been established for the first time for many years." In justification of American intervention, the report said that "the chronic anarchy into which HaytI had fallen, the exhaustion of its credit, the threatened intervention of the German government and the actual landing of the French naval forces, all imperiled the Monroe doctrine and led the government of the United States to take the successive steps set forth to establish order in HaytI, to help institute a government as nearly representative as might be, and to assure the collaboration of the governments of the United States and HaytI for the future maintenance of peace and the development of the Haytian people." of the cellar, and I suspect I saw a good deal in the corners that would have escaped the eye of man." Twenty-two years ago Mrs. Woods became a clerk in the library. When the superintendency appointment was offered her she was in charge of an important division of the copyright office, with the highest salary paid there except to the register and his assistant. Her new duties include the personal supervision of the laboring force of 123 persons—charwomen, messengers, elevator operators, engineers, watchmen and gardeners; everything that has to do with the care and upkeep of the building and grounds; the disbursement of funds and the paying of the entire library force of 500, including the library arm itself, on her personal staff are eleven persons, headed by a chief clerk. Each division has a chief. Mrs. Woods brings to her job an unusual knowledge, for a woman, of engineering. During her husband's lifetime she added him in writing his technical papers and books on mechanical engineering. After his death in 1893 she became secretary to a leading engineer of Chicago." TO MICHIGAN ice has not been continuous and hence he ranks below the Iowa. If Representative Green becomes chairman of the ways and means committee it is likely to affect the policies of the committee in some respects. Mr. Green has disregarded with Mr. Fordney on various questions, such as American valuation and high surtax rates. Mr. Green is likewarm on the question of American valuation and has favored higher surtax rates on individual incomes than Mr. Fordney. Congressman Fordney has notified his home newspaper at Saginaw, that he will not be a candidate for re-election. He represents approximately 20,000 people in six counties. He is sixty-nine years old.

Airmen Fall in Casual Ventures Tragedy of Captain Hamilton Adds to Appallingly Long List of Victims. CAREFUL OR DARING, THEY GO Is It Luck, Aviators Ask, or Are They Heedless of Minor Dangers Since the War — Distinguished Names in List. Washington: After facing death a thousand times with the marines at Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel, Belleau Wood and in the two Meuse-Argonne offensives, Capt. George D. Hamilton returned to this country and peace times to die a few days ago while piloting an airplane in a sham battle in Gettysburg. His machine crashed to earth from a height of 400 feet above the historic battlefield. In France Captain Hamilton's record for daring and for hairbreadth escapes was not surpassed by that of any one in the A. E. F. He received the Distinguished Service Cross from his own government, and was decorated twice by the French for gallantry. A thrilling war painting commemorates one of his deeds. It depicts him, at that time a major, leading a battalion of marines across a pontoon bridge over the Meuse under the heavy artillery and machine gun fire in an effort to establish a bridgehead. Uninjured by enemy bullet, gas, or high explosive shell, Captain Hamilton was mustered out of the service after the armistice. He rejoined, however, a few months later, and entered the aviation corps. In the air the former "soldier of the sea" displayed the same courage and audacity for which he had been known at the front. These qualities, combined with skill and a natural aptitude for flying, soon put him in the forerank of our airmen. Then came the end. With a number of others of his corps Captain Hamilton was sent to take part in the maneuvers at Gettysburg, where his old comrades, the marines, were playing at war. While scouting ahead of the Fifth regiment of marines "something went wrong," and death claimed a life that had seemed charmed against all mishap. The passing of Captain Hamilton adds another name to the already dreadfully long list of airmen who dared every peril in war or in epoche-making dights across land and sea, and lived—only to perish in some casual enterprise that hardly seemed a venture. To compile the appalling record, it is necessary to go back to the days of pioneer aviation, when men like Arch Hoxey, Ralph Johnstone, John B. Molesant and others met death in their rudimentary machines. The history of the air since the war brought aircraft to a high degree of perfection, has caused it to become almost an omen among aviators that their best may win a hundred odds on gambles with the grim reaper and then lose when everything seemed in their favor. No country has been exempt. England, France, America, Italy. In fact, every nation where flying is common has furnished its quota of victims. Carlstrom's Care of No Avail. Seven years ago Victor Carlstrom was regarded as one of the great airmen in America. He was already a holder of three American records when in 1916 he attempted a non-stop flight from Chicago to New York, for the New York Times. He was unsuccessful in this, being forced to land at Erie, Pa., and Hammondsport. N. Y. When he finally got out of his plane on Governors Island, Carlstrom said: "I shall never be killed by taking chances, because I do not believe in taking chances. But some day my machine will collapse, and I will get it, just as so many other aviators have gotten it." His prophecy came true, on May 9, 1917, while flying at Newport News, Va., as an instructor lieutenant in the United States army air service, his machine crumpled 3,500 feet above the earth, and Carlstrom, together with a pupil pilot, Cary B. Epes, "got it." Another American who thus met his fate after coming unscatched through all sorts of dangers was Hobart T. H. Baker, better known as "Hobey" Baker, the Princeton athlete. Baker had a splendid war record, with a number of enemy planes to his credit. On one occasion he attacked a German fighting machine, 20,600 feet up. In this battle above the clouds Baker followed his adversary down almost to the ground, before a well-directed shot from his machine gun gave the final coup de grace. After the armistice, in December, Baker left the Second army and started home by way of Paris. His fighting days were over, and he looked forward to peace and to college reunions and a promising career in business. While waiting for transportation, he motored out to Toul one day to look over his old Spad. He decided to go aloft just once more. What happened? No one understands exactly. It is said that Baker undertook to fly another officer's machine, one that had recently been repaired. He got only 150 feet above the ground when the airplane collapsed and the body of the young officer was removed from the debris. Among other flyers of this country who went through the war unharmed and succumbed in peace-time flights are Hugh Gordon Campbell, Syracuse university athlete and American ace, who died when his airplane fell into the ocean at Atlantic City; Capt. Field E. Kindley, who was killed during maneuvers at Kelly field, Texas; Kenneth Earle and Maxwell Blanchard, killed at Palm Beach; Lieut. Pat Logan, who fell at Baltimore; Lieut. James Murray Grier, formerly of the famous Lafayette escadrille, and Sergt. Joseph Peter Saxe, expert aerial photographer with the A. E. F., both of whom were killed when their machine fell near Forest Hills during a championship tennis match in 1920. Then there was also George W. Puryear, who fought the Germans, was captured by them, escaped, and fought them again. He came back safe and sound to America and died when his airplane crashed down in a cotton field in California.

Venable of the New York police force was sick in the hospital and in desperate need of a blood transfusion. Capt. John Duane, in charge of the detectives at the East Sixty-seventh street station, was asked by the doctors if he could find anyone willing to supply the lifegiving fluid. Within ten minutes four brother officers of Veale were on the way to the hospital. The photograph shows Patrelman Martin F.

He is thirty-nine years old and the father of eight children. eastern const of Newfoundland. A prize of $50,000 had been offered to the aviator who made the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic ocean, and a dozen or so Britishers had gathered there to make the attempt. Among them was Captain Alcock later Sir John Alcock, a famous ace during the war, who plotted the first English plane that bombed Constantinople. Captain Alcock, with a navigator, Arthur W, Brown, also knighted later, hopped off in June, 1919, and astonished the universe by flying from Newfoundland to Clifden, Ireland, in 16 hours and 12 minutes. It was just six months later that fate overtook this intrepid aviator. While flying in France, merely taking a seaplane to an exhibition at Rouen, he miscalculated his distance from the earth, in a fog, and was instantly killed when his plane struck the ground. One of Captain Alcock's rivals in the transatlantic flights was an airman who was equally well known among aviators. This was Harry G. Hawker. Hawker was the first to hop off at Newfoundland, starting on May 18 with Lieutenant Commander Mackenzie Grieve as navigator. In vain, the next day, they waited for news of blim in England. Hawker and his comrade and their plane had disappeared. People said that they had been drowned in the ocean. But those who knew the aviator said: "No; Harry Hawker has got more lives than a cat. If he hadn't, he would have been killed long before this. He's the luckiest airman that ever lived." Sure enough, six days later a Danish steamer, the Mary, came rolling into port with Hawker and Grieve on board. She had picked them up $80 miles off the coast of Ireland, floating along hanging, to their frail craft. Hawker's luck still held. A year later, July 21, Hawker went aloft near the Hendon airdome, in England, to test a plane for the aerial derby. He was flying probably 4,000 feet up in the air when those who were watching saw the plane suddenly careen and come plunging to the earth. Hawker died in the arms of the doctor who had been hastily summoned. A coroner's jury found the accident had been due to a sudden stroke of paralysis which the airman had suffered. His physician testified that Hawker had long been a victim of tuberculosis of the spine, and had been warned against flying. Sir Ross Smith's Death. During the year that Captain Alcock and Hawker were busy with their efforts to fly across the Atlantic, another British aviator sprang into prominence by piloting a plane from England to Australia. It was Ross Smith, later Sir Ross Smith, who had a gallant record for during the war. A few months ago, Sir Ross and his brother, Sir Keith Smith, were getting ready to fly around the world. They had completed their planes and the feat seemed almost accomplished. Early one morning Sir Ross arrived at Brooklands where his machine was. His brother was not at the field, and he went up with Lieutenant Bennet, a friend of his. At a height of 3,000 feet above the ground the airman began a series of evolutions that he had gone through a hundred times in orier to test thoroughly every strut and guy in his plane. Those watching were interested, but not alarmed, and when they saw the huge plane diving straight for the earth they only considered it a special sort of trial. Sir Ross was killed instantly and Lieutenant Bennett lived but a few moments after being put into an ambulance. And so the list continues. There was Capt. A. C. Resmati, the Italian aviator, who was killed when a Caproni plane collapsed at Mineola. There were the Frenchmen, Vedrines, who accomplished the feat of landing on a roof in his plane, who won a number of aerial trophies for speed and attitude, and who finally fell while flying from Paris to Rome, and Gabriel Volsin, the famous ace, who was killed while trying to fly his plane low to enable him to shout to his brother-in-law that he would be home for dinner. Avlators are asking each other what is the answer to it all. A man who has come unharmed through exceptional peril apt to pay too little heed to lesser dangers? Is it, after all, just a matter of luck? In the early days of English railway travel the car seats bore numbers corresponding with the number on a tickets.

After many years' close observation and measurement of the heat radiation from the sun, it has been finally determined that the sun does not throw off a continuous amount of heat; that neither does the earth receive a constant amount of solar heat; that these variations are periodic and primarily the sun's rotation; and that variation and the earth's climate.

"Why, I don't know," the matron's voice was dubious, "it is such an unusual thing. Still," both the old ladies looked up hopefully, "I don't see why it should make any difference to the 'Home,' I'll tell you, you just go ahead; if there's any blame, I'll take the responsibility. Let me know if I can help. Good luck!" "My, ain't she fine?" Aunt Sarah Turnbull spoke admiringly to her companion, "I don't see, Marty, what makes you so discontented here." "Yes, Sarah, I expect I am ungrateful. I don't know's I can explain it—just I do miss my garden and my chickens, but it's mostly not being needed. Why, I could do a sight o' work yet if I only had the chance!" "I know you could, Marthy, that's why I come to you now. This business I have on hand needs gumption, engineering. I couldn't handle it in a thousand years. Now, my son Elmer sends me eight dollars a week to pay my board. It's the 18th of April and he won't be back from Oregon before November. Let's see," the old lady hesitated, calculating. "Why, Marthy, it'll be 'round two hundred dollars. "Elmer would be terrible put out if he knew about it, he don't hold with helping people much; he thinks Jim's family shiftless, too. I guess things have gone to wrack and ruin since Jim died, but then, what you expect when an easy-goin' woman's left with five children? "I don't hold with alliases, but when you get down there, Marthy, you'll have to be 'Aunt Sally'; that's what Jim always called me." The rest of the morning Aunt Sally budded cheerily about. At noon the youngsters seated themselves at the table with a hilarious shout. It seemed to them a wonderful repast which was set before them—and, oh, crowning glory—a custard pie! Nothing like this since dad went. Already it brought a hint of color to the pinched faces. Martha beamed with delight. "William," she spoke to the eldest when the meal was concluded. "I've been out to the barn this morning and I found two settin' hens. Know anybody 'round has good Plymouth Rocks? Mr. Ryley has purebreds? You get two settin' s, then. These hens you gain not ain't but tramps. And, while you're about it, you hunt up a couple of little pigs. As long's this family's goin' to use butter and cream there'll be quite a lot of skim milk. I'll get you the money—and hurry back. We're goin' to clean the yard this afternoon." The last day of October came. "Aunt Sally" was alone and the tears rolled unheeded down her cheeks. The thought of leaving these new friends of hers and returning to the monotony of the old ladies' home was almost unbearable. She immediately wiped away the tears as the kitchen door opened. "Why, Aunt Sally, whatever is the matter?" Mrs. Barber deposited an apron filled with red apples on the table and came over to the old lady. "Don't, Annie, don't call me that. I'm not your aunt Sally. I'm a dreadful impostor. You've been so good to me, and I've been so happy, I couldn't go away without telling you. Your husband's Aunt Sally sent me. She gave me the board money her son sent her, and she's taking my place in the old ladies' home. I just got a letter, and I've got to go back tomorrow and I—oh, dear," the tears rained down again. "Stop, do stop!" Mrs. Barber's own eyes were quickly filling. My dear friend, if you are an impostor, you are a dearly loved one. And, oh, I'm so glad you haven't a home! Now we can give you one." Prepared for the Worst There was turmoil on deck, feet clattered to and fro, there came a grinding sound, and the engines seemed to stop. The timid passenger rushed from his cabin, and almost collided with the captain. "What has happened?" he panted. "Be prepared for the worst!" said the captain sternly. "Wh-where are the life belts?" "It's too late to use those," said the captain. "We've done everything we can. Now it's every man for himself." He led the timid one to the side of the deck. "I can't! I daren't look!" he cried. "Tell me what has happened." "We're in harbor," said the captain gently. Evidence of It The Desk Sergeant—Who's the dame you brought in just now?

FACTS about your name; it's history; meaning; whence it was derived; significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel The Frier By WALTER L ROBINSON --- ONE day before the flowers had bloomed or the buds come out the little Leaflets began to complain to the Trees where they lived that they never had any fun; that no one ever noticed them, either, for all the Blossoms and Fruit took the attention from them. "We never have a party or anything," sighed the Leaflets, "and no one cares anything about us. But if it were not for us I am sure the Trees By and By the Moon Came Up. would look queer and the Fruit or Blossoms would not be half as beautiful." In vain did the Trees tell them that they were beautiful, and that everyone loved to look at their shining green dresses, but still the little Leaflets grumbled and fussed, and at last all the trees talked it over one night, and it was decided that the Leaflets should have a dance all by themselves, before the Blossoms or the Fruit came. As all the festivals and parties take place on moonlight nights, the Trees waited until the moor was shining full and bright, and then they told the Leaflets about the dance. All the little Breezes were invited to help with the dancing, and even Brisk Wind was asked to come around for a while. The Soft Sighing Winds were asked to furnish the music, for the Trees wanted the Leaflets to have a wonderful dance. When the little Leaflets heard they were to have a dance they could not keep still, and long before the dance began they were swaying and fluttering about, practicing all the fancy steps they could think of for the wonderful dance. By and by the Moon came up and the dance began. The Little Breezes "What's in By MILDRED MARSHALL FACTS meaning; PATRICIA IT CAN truthfully be stated, without fear of punging, that Patricia is a patrician name. It signifies "noble" and comes from the Latin pater—father—which was the source of "patria," the "fatherland." The patrici were the privileged class of Rome since its members were descended from the original thirty fathers, or patres. Patricius, meaning the noble, was the title given to the young Roman-British Calpurnius who was stolen by Irish pirates in his youth and, when ransomed, returned as an apostle to the land of his captors, bringing the name of Patrick, which is so popular and so revered in Ireland, in memory of the patron saint. Patricia is a Scottish invention, according to etymologists. The name made its appearance there as the feminine of the masculine Patte, which was the Scotch form of Patrick. Though Patricia spread to England and won great popularity there and later found vogue in Ireland, no attempt has ever been made to change its form or spelling. Patty, which is often thought to be the diminutive of Patricia, has no relution whatever to the noble name. It is the diminutive of Mary, in its rightful sense, and means "becoming bitter." The ruby is Patricia's talismanic A LINE O' CHEER --- BOWL 'EM DOWN WHEN you've Troubles full of woe Set 'em standing in a row Like a lot ten-ten-ten. Then of Good cheer make a ball.

The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE The Friendly Path By WALTER L ROBINSON were their partners, and they enjoyed the frolic as well as the Leaflets. Suddenly some of them discovered their shadows on the ground, and they danced faster than ever. In fact, old Mr. Moon grew tired and sleepy and went to bed, and still the dance went on, for now they had found something that amused them the Leaflets would not stop. They tired out the Little Breezes and they went home; and not until then did the Leaflets stop dancing. It was a long time ago that the Leaflets held their first dance, but ever since they are always calling the Little Breezes or the Brisk Breeze to come and dance with them. Often, when all the rest of the world seems quiet, if you look at the young Leaflets you will no doubt see some of them, at least, swaying and swinging, trying new steps and watching the shadows they make on the ground. Never since that night long ago have the Trees been able to keep the Leaflets from dancing; but, as they never fuss or complain, the Trees do not mind. And so, while they sleep, the little Leaflets go on with their dance, sometimes even dancing in the rain. (© 1932, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SPEAK TO FRIENDS DON'T be one of those careless individuals who walk along the streets with their heads bowed, forgetting to look up when they pass their friends. You will really find it a social acquiescence if you cultivate the habit of keeping your eyes open, ready to greet your friends when you pass them in the street. You will acquire a reputation for friendliness and thoughtfulness that is quite worth while.

How often have you thought of this when finding fault with the world in general because you thought your luck was hard? It's a safe venture to guess that most unhappy persons never even consider their own positions from this angle. Too many blame others for their own misfortunes when they could find the fault at their own doors. Too many consider their luck bad when it is better than they deserve. If they recognized their own short-comings or tried to overcome them when acknowledged, they'd frequently overcome their worst handicaps.

THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE Seven Good Ways to Help The Editor Of a Paper A Tip For All Who Would Aid But Do Not Know How First of all give him the NEWS. He wants it. Give it to him though sometimes it does not get into the paper. He hasn't time always to tell you why some pieces of news are not used; but ten to one he has a perfectly good and impersonal reason. Give him the news even though you may not be especially interested in it. Some folks never think to give the editor news except when they are concerned in it one way or another. Second, don't give him a piece of news and tell him you want it printed just as it is written. There is a right and a wrong way to do even such a simple thing as writing an article for a country paper. One editor had to leave town because he printed every piece of news just as it was handed in—spelling, punctuation and all—printed it with the name of the person who gave it in. Third. Don't try to play a joke through the paper unless you explain it to the editor. A thing in cold type looks a lot different and sounds different from a thing repeated by word of mouth, when the voice, a facial expression and a gesture, perhaps helps to show its meaning. Fourth. Don't worry for fear the editor is making too much money, you should want him to be prosperous. He can and will give you a better paper. He will be less likely to have to compromise with his conscience over certain kinds of advertising. And, anyhow, he can't make a big fortune out of his paper—he will be lucky if he keeps going. Fifth. Be ready to tell your editor when something in the paper pleases you. Once in a while you tell your preacher he has a good sermon, so tell the editor something about his paper. Sixth. Get your "copy" to him early. Take it to him for the next week the day after the previous publication, if you can. It takes time to set type and make a paper. Did you ever wonder what the editor did all the time between publication days? You would know if you were publishing a newspaper yourself. There are people in this community known as knockers. Then there are people who by their good work deserve to be given credit. The knocker is generally a liar, and if the person to whom he lies is not a reader of human nature, an innocent person is often injured. The knocker is generally jealous of the successful person. A knocker is a dangerous individual to society. He is a cancer in any community and dangerous to the population. He impedes the progress of the successful and will often do and say a thing against the innocent. There are always two sides to every question, and one story is good until another one is told. Female tattlers are knockers in disguise. A woman who is jealous of another will attempt to injure the good name of her competitor by false representations to her superiors. A sensible man or woman will not listen to one-sided statements. An informant ought to be made to give his author and the informed should be careful in deciding questions or believing statements that are not authenticated. The knocker should be made to know his place. Poor old solid South, she is certainly an object of pity.
