A STRIKING CONTRAST. . Last Saturday's newspapers carried the following cable dispatch: Turin, Italy, Dec. 14. The pope's brother, -Angelo Sarto, was awarded $36 yesterday by the Italian minister of post and telegraphs In recognition of his long and faithful services to the postal departi rant. , Sarto. who is postmaster at ; Graxie in the province of Hantua, a few days ago requested an increase in his salary, which
amounts to SO cento a day. He asked the deputy for his district to use his influence in the matter and the deputy took Sarto, who is ' over 7 years of age, to the minister of posts and telegraphs, to whom he made his application personally. It was favorably received and today's compensatory grant is the outcome of bis visit. The dispatch illustrates from what humble sources the man who wears the triple crown of the Roman church springs from. The papal

The shortest and most direct route to the attention of all the people is through the columns of the newspaper, for it is daily read by business men, professional men, mechanics, artisans 'all alike. Men and women, too, want their favdrlte newspaper the very minute it comes ofT the press, for they crave the news served up red hot. They also buy it tOj read, the advertising columns.
While the above pain statement of
fact sounds like part of a speech de
livered at a banquet of advertising agents it came from an entirely different source. It is from an address made before the Mississippi Bankers'
Association in Gulfport, Miss., by R
L. Gurney, in charge of the saving3 department of the Commonwealth
Trust Company, of St. Louis.
Mr. Gurney did not mince matters
either, but characterized the various
advertising plans in programmes and
so forth sold to bankers as "'lemons,"
going to require a I advocating Instead "constant - use of
instead of six newspaper space."
This idea, long recognized in the
East, is evidently spreading.

During November Pittsburg pro

tons, which is a pretty close second.
The total production in the country
for the month was 2,630,854 tons.
so it Is quite natural that the old
Pittsburg district should view with

Of the 49 blast furnaces in the

40 were in operation, producing 16,750 tons o pig iron daily. Every

It is our Christian duty to see that all children are protected from all harmful influences, and especially that the children of the poor are not
left to suffer at the hands of the
thoughtless and the unscrupulous.
At this time of year, when the child is much In our thoughts, we should be thinking out ways in
which to give back the divine gift of childhood to all children; ways in which to guarantee to them more air and sunshine, more play time and
play space, more of the things they
