MOULDERS OF CHARACTER (Gazette, Inglewood, Cal.) and the tubes are twisted and dried,” as Kipling says, the country newspaper editor, otherwise known as the small town editor, is going to have a reserved-seat in} “Press Row” in the golden city and blazon- ed with light against the jasper. walls we will read, “Earth’s Moulders of Character.” When you have finished reading -the preface, dig out the current issue of your home town paper, that is if you live in a small town; turn to the editorial pages. In nine times out of ten you will read editor- ial comment on the vexed questions of the day which are masterpieces of journalism. The flow of language and the best and fin- est ideals are expressed. The country ed- iter stands squarely behind a clean and wholesome community, He is the charac- ter builder of his community. As a rule he is not dominated by higher influences. He i# unafraid and portrays the truth << he sees it. Filth and dirt find very little space in the small town newspaper. Here we find constructive thought put into print, fit for the boy or girl to read. ‘his editor is an unassuming man, generally a mild manner- ed man. He is wise in the ways of the world; more frequently than otherwise he is a family man. His family consists of one wife and maybe several boys and girls. He gains a true perspective of life through watching the pitfalls of others. He burns the midnight oil in an earnest endeavor to solve the problems of his community. He must of necessity be a veritable Dr. Jekyl and Mr, Hyde; acquiring many roles as he mingles witi. churchmen and __ politicians, honest men and crooks. You might meet his in church or at the show, his mission is for a given pur- pose. In the archives of his brain are col- lected all manner and sorts of informa- tion. This brain acts like a sieve, filtering out ali the filth and dirt and rendering to the community wholesome and _ construc- tive thought, Yes, the small town éditor is one of the nations greatest assets, playing many parts in the affairs of men and fools, but to see the real man, you must meet him back in his garden on a Saturday afternoon, un- shaven with a hoe in his hands and dress- ed like a hobo; when like Puck, he willsay, “Oh what fools we mortals be.” LIGHT VS, FROGS Oace more has science come to the aid of man in his efforts to overcome the obnoxious habits of certain species of the animal kingdom. A California hotel has among its at- traetions some sightly lily ponds, but these became infested with bull-frogs, whose nightly concerts were a great annoyance and kept the guests awake. After offering bounties for frogs cap- tured, hiring riflemen to shoot them and exhausting all his ingenuity to rid the ponds of the nocturnal nuisance, the man- ager began a scientific study of frog psy- chology through reading all the books he could get hold of which might give an in- sight into their habits, .., $9 His research revealed that frogs sing, or croak, only under the cover of darkness, so he arranged for the illumination of the lily ponds by electric‘lights, - Now, the story goes, the frogs, baffled ‘by “science; sit dumb, vainly: awaiting the night’s curtain of darkness, while the guests slumber in peace. OBNOXIOUS BILLBOARDS In spite of the widely advertised “code of ethics” adopted some time ago by the billboard promoters, their habit of defac- ing the landscape and encrouching upon residential sections has by no means been abandoned. Public sentiment has been so aroused in opposition to the billboard nuisance that a national committee for the restriction of outdoor advertising is making a vigorous campaign against the unsightly sign-boards which glare at one on every hand. Among the organizations cooperating with this committee are the General Fed- eration of Women’s Clubs, the Garden Clubs of America, the National Conference of State Parks, the American Society of Landseape Architects, historical societies automobile associations, nature societies and others interested in the preservation of outdoor beauty. “ Appeals are being made to advertisers direct, it being pointed out that an offen- sive advertising sign makes ill-will for the advertiser and tends to hurt rather than help his business.
