The had years for the railroads and their employes were the i golden harvest years for the ‘ coupon clippers.’’ The unions criticized the capi- ■ talization of the railroads which has also aroused the concern of President Roosevelt who suggested that unless reorganized tlie roads were faced with public ownership.

When they refused to answer ■ challenges of agents who thought they might be members of the I gang the Iresieging force loosed | upon them a fusillade of machine gun fire. Boiseneau was killed i nnd his companions wounded as i their car srashed out of control I into a tree. The attackers believed Dillinger ' and part of his ganf escaped to ! the woods during the excitement. Returning to the lodge, the bei siegers met such a withering fire from windows and doors of the . resort that they retreated to the woods.

K A Bible and a Newspaper | In Every Home I —said Benjamin Franklin, whose death on I April 17, 1790, we remember this week. | IF YOU asked the founder of a great library system | what reading matter you should place in your home, you | * MMM Ryu might expect him to hand you a sizable list of books. | But old Ben Franklin, father of the free library sys- r tern of our country, being a man to out first things first, I i might have looked over the top of his glasses at you, and | repeated “a Bible and a newspaper in every home.” | Franklin himself was Printer and Publisher ... and i an advertising writer. He recognized, as you do. that I good advertising is NEWS. Back in 1780, when a ship | came to port with a consignment of India shawls and J some merchant announced this in the newspaper, you I may imagine that that item meant more to the ladies of | the day than the usual chronicle of somebody’s cow | “lost, strayed or stolen.” | An editor gathers up the news from all corners of the I globe, just as a merchant gathers up his stock of goods. I Then the story of both is carried in the newspaper. Both | mean a great deal to every reader. |
