OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEED:NGS FILM STANDARDS | A shocking scandal in the movie world has called em- phatic attention to the lives of film actors as a class, and at the| same time to the shows they create. .The two naturally go to-| gether—no art can be altogether different from the artists themselves. ! Says Mrs. Robert A, Dean, a leader in political and moral| reform work in California: “The whole American standard of life is being poisoned by the questionable movie stories play-| ed by hoodlum men and women. It is impossible for some so-| called stars to depict on the screen clean manhood and woman-| hood when they lead semi-privately immoral lives.” This is drastic criticism—perhaps too drastic. continues, in a somewhat more charitable strain: undoubtedly good men and Mrs. Dean stage, but the lack of a moral standard, as well as that good" tributions to the tves breeding which has characterized American lifd in the past,| it possible for the orza | chase 2 plot of ground for a club- reaches out from the screen and poisons both the young people| and the old of this country today.” I THINK HE WILL BE GOVERNOR | Zovernor, | pitehed i be | bershiy i domestic « f 4 | o 4 ‘There arel gy, of the club one month after its women appearing on the movie| jnauguration exceeded 3000, and con- | house on the same | London’s most excl People ot Washington State See Bright Future for Their Soldier Lieutenant.Governor, “He's just naturally lucky,” the people of Washington say of William Jennings Co; their leutenant who they claim, is the youngest' man in the world holding that ofiice.

Plans It may be set down, once for all, that film actors as a class|for ;4 large building have been ap- are more moral than immoral, more good than bad, more refined; proved than vulgar. The big majority, in this as in any other legitimate calling, is bound to be decent. But the doings of screen stars,, as chronicled of late, are certainly creating the impression more| and more that the moving picture drama has a lower moral and | social code than that of the legitimate stage—which itself has by no means been above criticism. In a surprising number of cases, well known movie actors are found to have had little education or training of any kind before their advent in the movie world. It is natural that suc- cess should turn heads with little in them. The lack of education, culture and brgeding is no crime, to be sure. Many a man and woman has succeeded without them. But they would have a distinct value in an occupation which| professes to be an art, and which has come to exert vast influ-| ence, for good and evil, over millions of people. Perhaps the public will demand more along that line hereafter than it has| in the past.—Crookston Times, | o | WHY? It is surprising how persistent certain people can be in their| efforts to effect the cancellation of the billions of dollars in debts; that the allies owe to this country. i What is behind this insidious campaign? | Have these people or their masters bought heavily of de-| preciated foreign money—especially French and German—and | do they epect that the cancellation of the allied debts will raisel the value of this foreign money, thus creating additional for- tunes for themselves? i Or have they other irons in the fire whereby they hope to! reap rich rewards through the creation of a stupendous loss to theier country? i Are they voluntarily cancelling any of the debts other! people owe to them? They are not. | They claim that the cancellation of the allied debts wou]d‘ restore world equilibrium. If that is true, why wouldn’t the cancellation of the debts! that other people owe to them restore American equilibrium? | There is a gentleman of color in the woodpile somewhere. | He should be chased out. We'd like to see hint. ROOM FOR ONLY ONE “KLAN”—AMERICANS { The bitter fight that is being waged between the Ku Klux Klan and a rival organization that has sprung into existence for| the avowed purpose of crushing it is being carefully watched by ! many millions of Americans whose minds are as yet open on the subject. i Shrewd observers are of the opinion that it is to be a battle! of giants, and the outcome is difficult to foretell. i But whatever the outcome, it is well for both sides to un-| derstand that this country does not desire people who can not| conscientiously subscribe to the doctrine of “100 Per Cent, Americanism,” regardless of who they may be. | The man who lives up to this doctrine will have nothing to | fear from any true American. | The 'man ‘who does not live up to it is the enemy of every ! true American. i There is no middle course. | | Don’t you think the home town paper is of much more importance to you tha};l these fly-by-night adventurers who drop in and attempt to get your nioniéy by a line of talk, intended to convince you his advertising fea-| tures; is the only thing?

In 1920 the con- Sufilptlon of gasoline was well over four billion gallons. This tremendous increase in demand came with a spectacular suddenness which strained the resources of the petroleum industry. To meet it the Burton process was developed in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). While no claim.is made that the Burton process is wholly responsible for the increased efficiency of refining practices, the fact remains that with- out it the tremendous increase of gasoline from crude oil would have been impossible. In 1910 the. average recovery of gasoline from the crudes of the United States was apprpxi- mately 11 percent; in 1920 this average had becn increased to upwards of 30 percent. * While this Company was producing gasoline in sufficient quantities to meet the ever-increasin demand upon its facilities, it also was confrontecgl with the necessity of finding a market for the vast number of products made from that part of the petroleum which could not be cor- verted into gasoline. New uses for these by-products had to be found or created if gasoline were to be relieved of more than its just share of the cost of refining, there- by keeping the price of, this fuel within the reach of all. It required all the knowledge, experience, skill, resourcefulness, ingenuity and technical ability which ‘the Standard. Oil Company (Indiana) could bring into play. The Company has a just pride in its 'success in fing&ng added fhelds Ff gsefulness for old by- products, as well as for having developed by-products of use and value.
