Anti-cigarette fans are bobbing up again. What do they want to do, ruin the small town newspaper? Let’s hope that President Roosevelt didn’t learn any foolishness from those South American dictators he met on _ his recent good will tour. The New York World’s Fair in 1939 will not have the usual fan dancer, but the unusual fan dancer without the fan. Got “to be original, you know!

It is possible that the debtor nations -are not paying up because they do not want to lose interest in the United States. That may be a capital idea for them, but _Uncle Sam prefers the interest. Just a question. If prosperity has turned the corner, as the political spell- binders shouted during the last campaign, why are 8,000,000 men out of employment and an qual number on relief?

She says she will die when there is no more work for her, and then it is quite likely she will worry her- self to death. Seven men were standing in front of the City Hall Wednesday morning en- gaged in small talk when an old colored womar came along and asked for a nickel i | statistics about tuberculosis. with which to cook the fish that had been | presented to her. The meeting broke up in a hufry, as every one remembered he had important business elsewhere. All the capital in the wérld might be ‘divided in equal shares among everybody; but if the human race at large did no work for a week or two everybody at the end of that time would be either dead or dying of starvation, an economist says. As- suming the truth of this statement, doesn’t it follow logically that if one-half of tffe world works but 30 hours a week and the other 48, the latter will live the more abundant life at the expense of the for- mer. terest as the news items. 5. The amount of text used in news- paper advertisements is dependent only | upon the size of the space. j Newspaper advertising is flexible. } 6. 7. Newspaper advertising is quickly controlled. 8. adjusted to different conditions. 9. Newspaper advertising enables manufacturers and dealers to state where their products may be bought. Z 10. Newspaper advertising is-inex- pensive. Merchants have learned that it } covers more families, for less money than any other form of advertising. 11. Newspaper circulation is known and is comparatively unaffected by daily change. 12. Nearly all of a-newspaper’s cir- culation is concentrated in its own mar- | ket. 13. Newspaper advertising reduces selling costs because it entails no waste in circulation. This helps reduce costs for the consumer. AMERICANISM DEFINED The word “Americanism” is used very frequently, but the average person would doubtless find some difficulty in defining it satisfactorily. Broadly speaking, it is understood to mean an appreciation of and loyalty to America and its institutions. But it means more than a mere passive acceptance of the benefits which are derived from citi- | benship. Probably no class of citizens is better qualified to define Americanism than the veterans of the wars which have been waged to defend it. Such a definition was adopted some years ago by the com- manders-in- chief of five leading veterans’ organizations, as follows: “Americanism is an unfailing love of} country; loyalty to its institutions and ideals; eagerness to defend it against allj enemies; undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to secure the blessing of lib- erty to ourselves and posterity.” Persons who can qualify under that definition are truly Americans, whether native-born or naturalized. AN EASY WAY TO FIGHT DISEASE § The sale of Christmas Seals will con- re": in Key West for several weeks; dut hi which time it is hoped that the publie ‘will liberally purchase the the dread scourge, tuberculosis, Those who are able will buy bonds, the proceeds of which will be used for the same purpose. Most of the money raised, we are advised, will be used in the com- munities where it is contributed. There is no use for us to go_ into Every reader knows about the disease and the import- ance of battling against its spread.
