to rob the mails. Thus the most marvelous or fearful thing grows commonpla.ee through wide u.ag. Telegrams have "become so ordinary thit few of us ever give a thought to the telegraph eperator. His sterna a humdrum, mechanical cxtstence. Yet no trade or proftfPion ever produced more unique, uo ful and devoted characters. Vou owe a lot to tho telegraph operator. For ono thing, tho telegraph news you read In your paper. Often you read about some telegraph operator who has rlsn to the predency cf a railroad. Thomas HdJson, tho Inventor, for jeara was a "knight of the key." So were Frank Munsey, WI111am Gillette, George V Hobart and Andrew Carnegie. "My Friend Iom India," one of the best American, comedies, was written by a telegrapher Harry IX-souchet. You know th "Evolution" pom which starts, "When you were a tadpole and I was a fish," written by Langdon Smith, once telegraph operator for the United Press. So they go, on the roll of fame, into tho thouFands. A veteran operator was John M. Carnihan, who began handling a key in 1861. In 1876 he was operator at Bismarck, N. D., then tho farthest-west wire station. Stopping fcr only brief intervals, Carnahan aat at his key for nearly SO hours and "sent" tho story of the CuMer Massacre, a tims feat that, i: is said, has never since -been duplicated. At th time of tho great Galveston flood, wires wero down and thoro was no way to ?et relief appeals to the outside -world. Richard Spillane. a former telegraph operator, now a business writer, was managing editor of a Galveston newspaper. In an eld steam launch, assumed by a cotton broker, Spillane defied tho hurricane, crossed the bay and, reaching land, tramped on through the night into Houston. There he got to a key and for hours wired appeals for help, followed by news stories. He had made the trip in carpet slippers. Their dye toaked out and poisoned his feet, which wero so swollen that when he flni3hed telegraphing he had to bo lifted out of his chair. Tho details of Srillane's dash for help malte the movies seem tame, but it's typical of the men who have given the world its telegraph news and personal wiro messages since Samuel Clortso invented the telegraph in 1837.

OthQrEditorsThaiiOars i:Vi;UYIK)I)Y ItUADS tjii: PAl'FIl. Pax Times.) About 28,000,000 copies of newspapers are fold daily in the United States. Tractically everybody that can read at all reads a daily newspaper, for every copy of the average paper is read by at least four person The really popular paper has an average of five readers for every copy sold. This should interest advertisers. Incidentally, it i.i remarkable how many times a paper is read after it is thrown in tho waste basket and before it reached tho machine that makes it into pulp that, in turn, becomes strawboard or wrapping paper. For who, except possibly ho rag picker, can resist glancing at the headlines of a newspaper, no matter how old it may be or where it is discovered? Housewives, who in changing newspapers on pantry shelves stop to reatl the headlines or look at tho pictures, -will vouch for that.

TIIi: WICK FI RCA11KD. (Glasgow Times.) The Northern lights in their spring play across the heavens a few nights ago, benidew furnishing a rlcture of beauty, struck terror to the hearts of the superstitious. In one section of the county an entiro community resolved itself into a prayer meeting to prepare for the end of things. The thought that the millennium had arrived was sincere. Others thought a big fire to the north was burning some city and telephoned In to learn where it was. The light flared and flashed into morning brightnens. , Jasper Lee, colored, was scared out of his wits, for, as he i.ut it, "It looked like tho bad place was opening up for the wicked." And he was not ready to go! OOXGItATU 1. VTI OX S ! (Louisville Courier-Journal.) Tho New York livening Mail is one of thoso party organs which are bound to applaud whatever their party's administration does. Of course, the Mall was hound to applaud tho Harvey speech, and thif it did fulfomcly, congratulating Mr. Havey for having "so clearly and correctly interpreted the mind and purpose of America." The Mail, however, when it undertakes the chores of party organ congratulations appears not to know when to stop-. It goes on and on In the Harvey congratulations until it lets slip the observation that we have our own ideas of how to help Europe "and we propose to pursue thorn in full loyalty to that spirit of cooperation which was created between us and our allies when wo fought together to Rave civilization." And that In congratulating a man who had just said we fought for no such thing; that we fought r.rt for any altruistic purposes, not for Great Britain, France Helgium, or anybody except our own selfish solves; that we fought not for civilization the idealism of "nine, ompoop" but only to gave our own skins; and that even then we fought becaut "we were afraid not to fight." It Ls rather queer that any party organ, as much practiced in turning out party congratulations as party organs are, should make such a stagger and Ptumblo at the business as the Mail has In this intance For, of course, tho Mall could not have forgotten It was congratulating George Harvey and not Wood cow Wilson. o Ti-MTYr,i;nxnss. (Xcbroska State Journal.) They held a municipal election in Denver the oth'r day, giving one of the few opportunities communit'es have had since but year to exhibit their frame of mind. Only minor ofllces were to be tilled. The significance of the result lay in the action upon 11 charter .amendments and referred measures upon which the community voter directly. The result was overwhelming defeat for every measure. These covered a great variety of subjects and interests. Tho supi ort for the different measures were of widely elivrrso group- and interests and elements. One measure looked toward the nir.gle tax. with support accordingly. Another made revisions In tho charter which amounteei to a recall of the existing unpopular administration. The two proposals, as widely diverse as the polls, went down by substantially tho sime vote, approximately five to one. Among the referred measure wa.s tho municipal daylight ?aving ordinance. Daylight saving went down with almost exactly the same emphasis as a proposal to Increase the pay of city laborers. One proposed measure reduced street car fares to nve cent'V another Increased them to seven cents. The voter vetoed both by about the same majority. A measure to remove doubts of the validity of water bonds previously authorized was beaten, along with a proposed issue of new water bonds. Everything went down in one indiscriminate landslide. The vote 5hows tho people of that one community at least still in the negative attitude of mind which has everywhere prevailed since th armistice. There appeared to be no strictly local condition to acvount for this. Denver is probably a local expression of a general mind. The vote in Jersey City the other day more than reversing last November's republican majorities was another exhibition of the same inclination. It means now as !t meant la.st year that the people are tired, discouraged, disappointed, disgusted. No leader has yet mobilized this -state of mind into a positive movement. No panacea such as the free silver promised In similar circumstances 2i years ago has yet caught the public hope. The after-war lassitude and suffering is accordingly expressed in negative action. It put the democrats out of o'fice with a whoop lest year. It ls likely to toss the republican aside with equal fervor next year and two years after that unless something meanwhile puts the people into a more cheerful, hopeful, centered f r? at jolrnl. '

TKYING TO I1C TUUli South Bend, Ind July 1st, 1321. Mr. J. M. Stephenson, Pub. News and Times. City. Dear Mr. Stephenson:

I take my pen In hand to write to

tell you of a experience I had the other nit;ht because of the Everett True cartoons you have been running in our paper by the celebrated Hungarian artist Ccndo. I have been following Everett True faithfully and want to know if you can't Jus: as well discontinue Everett in our paper, as I triedvto Imitate Everett and find that itv won't work in real life. Everett can ast a man something & when he gets a reply If it don't suit him he can jam the man's derby in and got away with it but I can't. Candidly, I think

Everett could get away with a murder in tho public library but I defy anyone else to try to get by with It, unless perhaps it

-!; would üe Ancy IV.' V.-'vVJ Carnegie. Of

y; "-' .t? r iJ course it's different

with Andy as ho owns all the books.

There's no doubts about it, most men would like to do the same as Everett dots and beat rough street car motormen to a jelly; and bawl out the women that reads the titles out loud in a picture show, but as I sez they can't gut away with it.

3) CC

Motorman, so will appreciate it if you'll take the nickel out of ray personal check for $10. Here I tendered the motorman the check in a highly courteous manner. The motorman stopped the car, invited all the passengers but myself a bitrck up tho street, thea started in on me. "Why you blankety blank numbskull," he edd. "where do you get this stuff? Do you think you're riding downtown on the First National bank, the building ani loan association or the clearing house? I'll " Hero I reached fcr his derby to smooth it out flat. That's the way Everett always does it, and to my astonishment, I found the motorman didn't wear a derby. Instead he

ducked my blow with his regulation

cap and kicked me at the intersection of LaSalle and Lincoln way. I finally escaped from the car with my life

after much difficulty. This Everett

True stuff won't work. I'm telling

you something.

No matter how bad the average man wants to imitate Mr. True, they would have to let scaled bids for a hundred new hoosegows in every town in the country If they started acting like he docs. As I sez Mr. Stepehnson I was quite an admirer of Everett until I begin to follow out hi. teachings. With Everett as my ideal I crawled onto a street car ono hot morning. The motorman sez, "fare please" and right here is where I started to get in wrong. I thought over what Everett would do under the same circumstances, so I said, "I come away without any change, Mister

Not satisfied with thl3 experiment, however, 1 went further. I met a man. who remarked how hot it was. I sez to him don't you think It's hot enough for me, without you keep reminding me of the fact. I tore his coat off hi3 hack in true style, Everett True etyle, and he turned out to be assistant chief of police. A motorist enme near running over me as I cro-sed the street and veiled, "Look out, can't you see

anything?" If I had acted like Everett True I would have took after him and let him know I was looking, but I am through with Everett True. If I tried to play Everett True any longer I wouldn't be in no condition to enjoy Fourth of July at Barron lake. I therefore, Mr. Stephenson, suggest that we cut out Everett True. He's a bad influence and no kind of a guy for me to try to pattern after. I can't think of anything worse, unless it would be chumming around with Art Mac Donald. Yours respectfully, BILL ARMSTRONG.

TWIN BED LECTURE (Mrs. Doveleigh asked Mr. Doveleigh to take her out with him and teach her to play golf). He restrained his enthusiasm with complete successs so much so that Mrs. Doveleigh intends to speak with him about it this evening now that they are both retired. I am sure I don't ask you for very many favors, do I? It isn't as if I were asking you to take me here and take me there like oth?r wives I know of. I suppose I would

be better off if I did. It recms to me that the wives who insist upon going about and enjoying themselves are thought more of anyway. All I ask you to do is to take mo out and teach me to play golf. You would think I asked you to commit murder the way you snap at me; what's tho big idea? Don't ycu think I can learn to play it if you can? Who told you that you were so smart? What makes you think that you have euch a wonderful brain? You don't show any evidence of it around the house. If you showed it in your business we wouldn't be living from hand to mouth p.ll tho time. OH. FORGET IT. Forget it. eh? Well, I'll not forget It. Other men can take their wives out to play golf, they are not ashamed to be seen with their wive5.

That seems to be it, you're ashamed of m-o. Look at the way you drers me. Peopl? think you buy my clothes at white elephants' sales, or you go around and collect them ajt the Armenian headquarters on Bund I Day If any woman looks like 'Godhelp-

with you. Very well, I'll go myself. I'll find somebody to teach me to play. You needn't think you are the

only man in the world. There are lots of them that will be glad to

teach me. WHAT MAKELS YOU THINK SO? What make you think different? Just because you've turned against mo and turned me down you needn't think I am going to curl up in a corner and die. I am going to go light out like the other women do and play goir. If they can learn, I can. And certainly, if you can learn it. anybody can. But that's Just like you men you so-called lords of creation. You are a funny looking lord of creation. OH, LET ME SLEEP. Let you sleep! That's the only successful thing you can do. If you can play golf as well as you sleep, you are a wonder. But I s'pose you play golf like you do everything else. Perhaps that's the reason why you don't want to teach me. You are afraid you will show yourself up. I am going to learn to play whether you like it or not. Pd like to see yuo stop me. I am a wonvan of few words what are you groaning about? I said I am a woman of few words, but when I make up my mmd to do anything, I am going to co It. And I'd like to see you stop me. I'm going to learn to play golf.

Doveleigh has made up her mind to play golf. The usual S to 5 on Mr.

The Reason For Advertising

Advertising is the child of modern conditions. Modern competition is the cause of its present great volume. Formerly, favorable word-of-mouth comment and discussion gave the local merchant all the business he could handle. But the mail order houses cut in, communities grew too large, there was more :ompetition, and aggressive advertising was the result. WE WRITE AD COPY

It is a pleasure to keep my house neat, clean and attractive. My husband has a good rosition, and he gives me $13 a week to pay all expenses for two people. I pay the grocery bill, meat bill, milk bill, doctor bill, bills for the drugs, gas, water, electric lights, telephone, clothes, amusements, literature, shoe repairing and other miscellaneous expenses. Every month ?5 goes to the paying of dues for two societies. I have considerable company, but I scarcely go anywhere. I love enjoyment, but cannot afford it.
