One woman says the reason there
are so many divorce cases in Texas

The News bsi eves that ladonia

not want io put it over, then the
American Legion should do so. This
summer would be a fine time for
such an event. There are plenty ot

of Ladonia’s street cross-
badly in need of repairs.
Those we have reference to are the
ones for pedestrians. Especially are
they in need of attention following
a rainy spell since one must wade
water and mud shoe top deep in
places. Many of these crossings have
walks under them but have been
allowed to become covered up.
Judging from the number of in-
surande agents that have called at
this office the past two weeks they
must think that a newspaper office
is a regular mint. Well, it isn’t ex-
actly that, because we are carrying
all the insurance, both fire and life,
that we are able to pay the premiiAis
on. And we are not saying insur-
ant^ isn’t a good thipg. It is and
every person should carry it as a
protection.
Some men 'who are neither blind
nor illiterate, claim with great sin-
cerity that they never ‘‘read the ad-
vertisements.”
Yet if you would investigate, in
each case you would find that the
man who never “reads the advertise-
ments” used an advertised tooth
paste, shaved with an advertised
qualming, he can with equal quan-
tity smoked an advertised cigar. If
he owns an automobile, it will be
an advertised one. If you ask his
opinion of any automobile, he will
reply in words that might have been
lifted bodily from an advertisement I
of that automobile.
Advertising has found his opin- j
ions to a great degree. He may have i
received his information through I
others who obtained their knowledge
from the advertising. But it is a fact
that no man can escape the effect
of advertising, even if he does say
he “never reads the advertisements."
No one of us ever reasoned out
entirely from his own mind that the
earth is round. If we had not heard
it, we would never have known it.
In these days of good, truthful,
helpful advertising to say, “I never
read advertisements,” is merely one
way of saying, “I don’t read all ad-
vertisements.”

The papers speak for themhelves
In a news item recently we see
where the famous pillar of salt iden-
tified as Lot’s wife, of the Old
Testament story, is to be utilized.
This pillar of Dead sea fame is to
be torn down for the manufacture
of salt for the people. After all it
will serve for some purpose, just as
it did in the time of old when the
Almighty taught those fleeing from
the destruction of those ancient cit-
ies destroyed by fire from above.
Lot’s wife, woman like was curious
when the Lord told her husband to
get out of the wicked city, glanced

a Northern printer wished a job at
$75.00 per week. We hope the old
fellow gets the wish granted, but
we fear that he will have to look
around quite awhile before some one
offers him that salary. There may
be printers in some of the larger
shops drawing that much money,
counting overtime, but they are few

ed an unwholesome atmosphere
breather by the children of the age,
which children are now the young
men and women from whom the ma-

The fact that this theory may not,
be in accord with that held by the
majority, is one of the justifications
for the existence of the National
Crime Commission which is trying
to assimilate all the theories it can
bring together, and hopes to evolve
from them reasonable explanations
and practical remedies.
