most of us permitted a stranger to
come to town and find out more about
this officer and his work than twe
knew. Mr. Atkinson, the expert
worker with boys, who has covered
the country and visited juvenile
courts in many cities, investigated
the methods of Judge Reeves here the
first of the week, and he testified that
he had found a man of exceptional
understanding concerning the dispos-
al of complaints against boys. This
visitor said he had found very few
juvenile judges who had as clear con-
ception of their duties as this young
judge in Palestine. We are sorry we
waited for a stranger to hand this
bouquet, but possibly his expert
knowledge will help us to appreciate
the condition more At any rate,
here's congratulations to the judge,

work.

attitude. All of us w’ant to be just
and fair, even tolerant in our esteem
of men and their motives, but all men
should now realize just what the situ-
ation is and adjust their acts and
their words in accord with that situ-
ation. Instance* are seen all along
where men seem, as a result of their
apparent spirit, to become the subject
of distrust and criticism. It is possi-
ble to help another man in many
things, and most of us are willing to
render such service when in our pow-
er, but there are some things that
every man must do for himself—that
no other person can do as effectively
as he. Let every man (and this ap-
plies to some women) keep in mind
the condition that exists. We are at
war, pledged to most vigorous pros-
ecution of that war, and the man who
does not by his words, his acts and
his spirit adjust himself to the situ-
ation is trifling with his own best in-
terests. These remarks are tendered
in a spirit of desire to render service
rather than to help create obstacles
for any person. Every man or wo-
man living here, whether a citizen or
enjoying the protection and the op-
portunities of life and action that is
derived by him or her here, owes a
measure of duty—not to speak of
-common sense—that cannot be ig-
nored or escaped. It is a time when
we must stand as one in devotion to
our flag, our country and our cause.”

The Waco Tribune, evidently in-
spired by some incident or situation
in its community, says a few very
timely things in the following editor-
ial, which we think worth repeating-
There are a few people in every com-
munity who evidently think it smart
to oppose {he tasks the government
has set itself, and in which it is ask-
ing co-operation. Some people seem
disposed that way, inclined to stand
aloof and ask weighty questions or
try to appear superior to the average
run of men and women by assuming
that these matters do not affect them.
The Tribune says to them, and oth-
ers:
“All people, and- especially men
who have reached the age of respon-
sibility, ought to have the common
sense to realize that this country is
at war, at war with the Imeprial Ger-
man government, and several other
governments. There was a time, be-
fore we entered the struggle, that our
citizens could with propriety discuss
the great struggle, in all its phases,
and with entire freedom as to senti-
ment and viewpoint. That time has
passed, at least in so far as the atti-
tude above alluded to applies to those
countries and people with whom we
at war. There can be no divided al-
legiance. There can be no division
of sentiment or -purpose. We are
Americans and committed in spirit^
and purpose to the cause to which we
are solemnly pledged. In no wise can
there he neutrality or even that sort
of indifference that, whether justly
or unjustly, is sure to be construed
as lack of sympathy with and loyalty
to our country. Some people seem
at times to foget, to lose sight of the
situation that exists and by season of
what they say and do furnish encour-
agement for suspicion as to their loy-
alty, and attitude. These, it is good
to believe, are not very numerous, nor
are they especiaJly influential, but
they are numerous enough to arouse
interest and comment on the part of
their fellow citizens. It is a cruel,
thing: for a man who is really loya*l
to his people and country ta incur
suspicion that such is not the case.
It is more pitiable when his careless-
ness or lack of what may be called
common sense places him in such an
Out in Kansas there is a man nam-
ed Homer McKee. He wrote a pray-
er and it was printed in the State
Board of Health Bulletin. The Bulle-
tin fails to identify Mr. McKee fur-
ther than to publish his name. Which
is enough, in a way, for the prayer
speaks for the man. Here it is:
Teach me that 60 minutes make an
hour, 16 ounces one pound and 100
cents $1.
Help me to live so that I can lie
down at night with a clear consci-
ence, without a gun under my pil-
low, and unhaunted by the faces of
those to whom 1 have brought pain.
Grant, I beseech thee, that I may
earn my meal ticket on the square*
and in doing thereof that 1 may not (

long.
Blind me to the faults -of the other
fellow, but reveal to me my own.
Guide me so that each night when
I look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been a blessing to me, j
I will have nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself '
in their play.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Effective Thursday, November 1st, the government has
levied five separate and distinct taxes on the moving picture
industry, as follows: (1) New graduated tax according to
seating capacity; (2) war tax on raw film; (3) separate war
tax on printed or positive film; (4) separate war tax on the-
atre income; (5) separate war tax on theatre admissions. In
order to meet these taxes the management will be forced to
increase the price scale as follows:

is a two reel classic Featurette. “At
Bay,” is the title of the fourteenth
episode of the “Gray Ghost,” in
which Eddie Polo, Harry Carter play
the leading parts. Its just full of
thrills. “The Fountain of Trouble,”
with Wm. Franey and Nellie Allen is
a very funny Joker comedy. “Uni-
versal Screen Magazine No. 38” is
especially interesting and instructive.

10% of all admission prices will be
paid by the Gem Theatre to Uncle

Temple Soldier Boys
Promise Helmet to Girls
Who’ll Send Them Cake
Temiple, Texas, Nov. 1.—Do you
want a helmet—a real steel cap like
those worn by the broches?
This question is directed to girls
only and the- coveted trophy can be
obtained provided some Temple boys
now in training get over the seas
safely to Pershing and get their
hands on a Fritzie. But the helmet
has to be paid for in advance. Here’s
the plan:
Robert and Jim Laprelle, R. B. Al-
-dridge and John H. Lee—all from
Temple and single—are in training
at Madison Barracks, New York.
They are hungry for cake, candy and
other little delicacies. Each promises
to send some of his good friends a
helmet (when he gets it) in return
for cookies like “mother used to
make.”
The boys are not selfish at all, and
do not ask that everybody send all of
their packages to them. The sugges-
tion is merely offered to the folks
back home—letting them know what
the boys in training most appreciate.
However, they are careful enough to
make known their address In the
event anybody wants to remember
them. It is 303 Madison Barracks,
Q. M. C.. New York.
