However the reports today indicate the zero weather is slowly leaking through and the indications are for g white Christmas. With the Van Sweringen deal closing and plans being made for a big 1925 it seems to us we ought to be geeting in touch with them. A few improvements here would we believe be wise for them and fortunate for us. Its time to get busy. You have a few days in which to prove that you are a Good Fellow. If you are really, you will surely remember that a lot of boys and girls need a little assistance from you if they are to have a merry Christmas. Drop a dollar into one of the boxes provided for the fund and help provide candy, food, games, a pair of shoes or some needed article of 1 clothing for one of the poor lad ; or | lassies. They deserve it. You will , be happier. ———i— ~— A roar heard clear across the state because of the removal of Dr. Myron E. Biggs as superintendent of the State School for Feeble Minded Youth at Fort Wayne and the appointment of Ed Jackson's brother, Jim, a klan leader and absolutely without experience, refuses to quiet down. It is evident that Ed Jackson' intends as was pred eted to lake care of his relation and those who helped him in his campaign, regardless of how much the state suffers. Jim Jackson has been a farm employe. Now he is placed in charge of the unfortunate children who must be taken care of J>y the state and to give him the jb they remove a man who was considered authority over the United States. Beat that for a dirty deal if you can and take whatever comfort you can for the elevation of Ed Jackson and his cohorts. A lot of people think it rotten. Henry Ford has a large accumulation of capital. It is one of the largest in the world. John D. Rockefeller has a larger one. Rockefeller made his money when kerosene lamps were invented to succeed candles. Ford made his money when oil. more highly refined, went into internal combustion en- 1 glues. | The fortunes which are in this form today were unknown in that form eighty years ago. There were fortunes then, but they were iu something else. Capital in this country at various t'mes has been in the growing of tobacco, in furs, in land, iu Negroes, iu rum, or in fish. There was a privileged class of colonial tobacco growers in the South. There was a privileged class of colonial ship owners iu the North. Now for an American to own an American ship is a good way of going broke. Invention is constantly changing habit, necessities, ways of living, and of production and distribution. It changes demand and shifts capital, t, There was a period of railroad 'capitalism, dominant iu the politics and government of the country. The Goulds are gone. Harriman and Hill are gone. j

£? Face to Face r. With r. Harold Bell Wright 8 Noted Novelist a! (By JOE MITCHELL CHAPPLE) “J d, He was an author who rang the U bell on his first book. The young ) girls of today like to take a copy of 1 "The Printer of Udell'' under their s arm and seek an afternoon in the hamniQck. or it may be some other love story of Harold Bell Wright's. The exploitation reveals how the American people are always eagerly waiting to be impressed In some way by a new author. Books advertised with broadsides and page advertise- . ments indicate that some are b’ lievers in the best selling qualities ' of a book. "The Shepherd of the Hills” was a whirlwind success, followed by "The Winning of Barbara Worth" and "The Eyes of the World. Many people have acquired the Harold Bell Wright habit. He was born in Rome, Oneida County. New York, and has a real Roman nose to prove if. As a boy he loved to read about Indians and the adventures of plainsmen. After two years in the preparatory department of Hiram College, Ohio, he decided to take up the work of the ministry. In the meantime he was a painter and j decorator and earned his way! through college. He now can decor-1 ate the pages of novels with vivid,| graphic love stories. As pastor oft the Chirstian Disciples' Church, I Pierce City. Missouri, in 1897. end i later in Lebanon, Missouri, end I finally to Redlands, California, ho was ■ ruled by the desire to write a novel. ' In 1908 he retired from the minis ry | to devote himself entirely to writing. 1 His readers soon began to look for a 1 new Hat old Bell Wright book each I year to add to their library, just as ' they would expect to buy a new hat. I s Harold Bell Wright has the faculty of 1 getting close to his readers, just ■j' he did to his congregations throrgh i his sermons, for they always contain- t cd a human interest story.' His own i story of a struggle for health and his t apparent helplessness at times to < overcome these handicaps is his most 1 stirring story of adventure. He can i speak an write the language of the i soul. i At his home in Tucson. Arizona, he 1 again appears the picture of health, 1 but still he loves to roam the painted 1

When enterprise becomes unpopular for one reason or another, politics, which may have flattered it, trios to destroy, regulate, or change it. But politics is not nimble witted enough. Invention and change In I fe and in forms of capital investment are plastic and not stagnant. Politics tries to control what it regards as a pool and finds that it is dealing with running water. —Liberty Magazine.

desert and the area occupied by the ancient cliff dwellers, absorbing the romance of the Astecs and ancient peoples. In the solitudes of the plains and canyons he dreams his dreams and catches in a glow the pictures of the characters that live through his books—in a perspective that charms, for all the world still loves a lover and his lass. When the name of Harold Bell i Wright is mentioned, people at once I begin to express their preferences jfrom among the titles of his books. |He seems to have fulfilled the dei mand and the speculation of the average reader of novels. Owing to his shattered health he has been more or less of an exile, but he has proven a happy, active exile. .When 1 met him he was tanned as | the sands of the desert. Before me I was a spare man who soon proves that he knows how to talk in the same interesting and intense way he writes. Everyone present asked him as to his favorite novel. I desisted. I asked him what he liked to eat and he replied: "Beefsteak —ripe luscious beefsteak, with onions." He then told me about some retreats thereabouts where the heart in concord beats in unison with nature and stirs the soul. “Wisdom Is often nearer to us in the solitudes,” he said. “People are. after all. just people. They want to feel that in memory the characters in books are in some way related to them, and my purpose is to keep everyone as humanely human as possible—kith and kin of the reader.”
