Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member of The mdiana League of Home Dailies The Legion boys may not get the beer or bonus they would like to have—or at least many of them—the big meeting may have been just a convention —but it was the biggest one ever held and those who attended had a good time every minute and forgot their worries. Jimmy Walker visited with Prime Minister MacDonald at London and ; Mac says to Jimmy: “I'll be over' to see you before you are out," | whatever he meant by that. Any way they didn’t talk polities as each ' of them has more than enough of his own and so a good time was had by every one. Over in Wabash county the taxpayers are planning a strike and will refuse to pay taxes until the officers take action to reduce levies. Os course they are getting into some difficulties that will cause them much grief but when men get good and mad they some times don't stop to consider every angle. Look what Chicago got into from similar tactics. ,Over in Ohio flour mills in condition to operate are doing the largest business in years, operating day and night and turning the ■ farmer's wheat into flour for one : cent a pound. In other words the farmer takes a bushel of wheat worth forty cents to the mill and gets forty pounds of flour. Thats one way to beat the old depression game, but in this country most of the mills have closed up shop. Merchants who refuse to advertise in their local paper are not only thus automatically reducing their own business but are injuring the community. Its evidence that they have crawled under the old log of pessimism and intend to stay there, which is the wrong propaganda to distribute. There is business here, lots of it, if you will go after it and you ought to pinch yourselves and start hitting the ball. Harry E. Rowbottom, former congressman from Evansville, convicted for selling postoffices and rural route jobs, wants a parole from Ix>avenworth prison and the pardon board will discuss it next month. He probably won't indulge in the same game any more for it will be a long time before he can induce the voters that he ought to represent them but perhaps he can find some other way to make a living. Dairy Day is to be held to make every one understand the good of the business, its present problems

It is to be hoped that our “greatest business men" will not get it in their heads that their only function in society and business is to raise charity funds for unemployment relief. Their real business is Ito help clear up the mass that great i business men and war-making i statesmen have made of the world s economic system.

The Grant County Star is the name of a new daily paper just starting at Marion and in the "howdy" editorial the editor says this: • “Who Said Experience? — We have had some, had a plenty, but' we suppose that we are destined; to have considerable more before we reach the heights of newspaper | perfection. We harbour no false i notion, we are only one with our j share of human imperfections. Yes. 'we have hart some experiences al- ' ready, experiences novel, interesting and some quite sad. We have been lied to and lied about; still we are not discouraged, we have experienced some joys. We have found that the world is not all dis- 1 appointments, all sorrow, that is worth much. week we were ' in doubt, we could not understand, we do not yet understand the 1 “why" of some things. This one 1 thing we do know, however, and ' that is that if we will do right, strive to do right, as nearly as possible, there wil be an unseen force or power that will unmistakably guide our destiny. We believe this and we believe it from the depths of our soul.” o »

BOUN D TO BE READ By H. ALLEN SMITH, UP Book Editor Waldo Frank, philosopher, has made no attempt in “America Hispana" to “write down" to his audil ence. He attempts in his new volume. issued by Scribners, to cover the entire field of Spanish-Amer-ican history, ar.t. cultural background. economics and present-day political relations. While the book would be of scant | interest to the general reader, since, Frank presupposes his audience j audience has at least a basic knowledge of America Hispana. it never-! theless is of first importance to the student of Latin-American subjects. , He confesses at the outset that! he is not concerned with compiling facts, in the manner of the travel- 1 i book writer. He is writing of Lat-' I in America from the view point of I I the Ijatin-American mind—a view-; | point he is well qualified to take. John W. Vandercook is assured i of a wide sale for his first novel, j “Forty Stay In." if for no other; reason than that most of those! who read.“ Black Majesty" and "Tom Tom" will want to have a 1 look into it. "Forty Stay In" as novels go. is | a good, clear-cut piece of work but,

it is no masterpiece. The Vander-[' cook fan. however, will be satisfied . with the background of Liberia] even though the principal charact-l ers—in fact almost all the charact-[ ers—are whites. The story itself is nothing startling. It is a ro-i mance. Paul Brand. American artist, meets Eve Hayes, American bride, in Monrovia. Love at first I sight. Eve has an ungentlemanly! husband. Nights sitting on the sand; nights riding under the moon.' Comes the plague. Everything l turns out top-notch. But, in justice to the book, it is no cheap romance; it has the lurid,, pulsating background of the Negro! Republic on which to stand. It is published by Harpers. Os all the literature compiled to I date on the overthrow of Tsarism I and the rise of the Bolshevik! to I power in Russia, none has been more vivid than Aleksei Tarasov-1 Rodionov's “February, 1917” (Co-1 vici-Friede). It is written by an army officer] whose machine-gun company was in l the thick of the Petrograd fighting and it presents a picture of unparalleled confusion, of tragedy, and I of the slow emergence of Lenin and | his cohorts as dictators of the new' nation. For Kerensky, -sputtering and, fuming, he has oiriy contempt (for the author is a good Bolshevik);] for Molotov he has warm admiration and for Lenin, who is-cleverly described in one brief scene of the! drama, he has the reverence which! has made the Russian leader a "saint” in his homeland. The saga of the Whiteoaks of Jalna, a patriarchal Canadian family with its roots in the rich soil of English tradition, is continued in ] Mazo De La Roche's "Finch's For-; tune" (Little Brown.)

RENO PREFERS I BLONDES FOR | GAME BOOSTERS Employed At Casinos To Stimulate Play At Tables Reno, Nev.. — (UP)—Kiwanians ami Rotarians in Reno have severe competition in the "booster business." When any one in "The biggest little city in the world" speaks of a “booster" he is not referring to the Chamber of Commerce, or the luncheon clubs, but of that organization whose membership is carefuly guarded from public scrutiny. Visitors to Reno, who are strange to the ways of gambling are impressed by the large number of peo- ' pie who are to be found nightly i seated at the various games of I chance. The sang-froid witli which these i individuals place their bets seldom fails to excite the imagination of i the onlooker. Oftentimes when the j visitor sees another player having an "unusual streak of good luck". 1 ! the temptation rises to follow the fortunate operator and possibly make a kiling by “stringing along" i Boosters may be either men or women. Blondes are preferred among the latter sex. Reno gambling houses employ I these boosters to promote activity ' or keep the play going. They work on regular shifts and earn about | $4 per day. fluring the last session of the legislature, boosters in Las . Vegas gaming casinos complained i that they were working 14 and 15 | hours a day and receiving only $2 i per day. , The boosters play with the firm's I money. If they lose, they are not I out of pocket, and their “winnings” i must be returned to the house. —o ♦ ♦ Modern Etiquette I Bv | ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U.R) ♦ Q.

CAVE MEN HAD : TOOTH WORRIES, ; EXPERT SAYS 11 California Skeletons Reveal Suffering Among Early Indians Palo Alto. —(UP)—Cave men and ( ' primitive Indians in California had f I other things than saber-toothed ti- ; gers and mastodons to worry them. Dr. A. W. Xleyer, head of Stanford University anatomy department has concluded. Toothache, for instance , was just as common in those days ' as now. Dr. Meyer declares, and six out of seven, or even eight out of nine, probably suffered from cavities. impacted wisdom teeth and similar dental troubles, he believes. Preliminary results of study of Indian skeletons found in burial mounds near Mayfield, Santa Clara 1 I County, showed marked structural I defects and acute nutritive wants, . Dr. Meyer said. Evidence was plentiful that these primitive men also j experienced considerable pain from abcessed. decayed, and broken teeth ; he said. Teeth in those days were used ' ; for mechanical purposes to a great extept, it has been shown, adding I
