Two Kinds of News
Back iu the forties it took mouths for the thrilling news
of California's gold strike to cross the continene. Not
long a^o the President's son died and the people of Cali
fornia knew it as soon as the people of Washington, D.
C. did.
In the early days news spread by word of mouth. To
day th^ telegraph and telephone speed the message into*
the newspaper office, it is rushed into type, the paper is
printed and shortly the news becomes public property.
There are two kinds of news in the paper. One con
sists of the affairs of other people, their sayings, doings
and what they are going to do; things that may happen,
have happenedo r didn't happen.
The other kind of news is your affairs. That's the
part you will find in the advertisements. There's a lot
of valuable news here about things you want or will
want; thingh that have to do with your personal com
fort, convenience and every-day efficiency.
Every advertisement carries a personal message to
some ? ne Many advertisements carry messages of vital
interest or value to you.
That's why you can't afford to miss the advertise
ments.
INSURANCE A NECESSITY
INSURANCE ACTUALLY DEALS WITH ETEBY HONEST
BUSINESS CNDEB THE SUN
Fire insurance has come to l>e not only a householder's security,
but a national necessity. The home owner must protect his family
and provide shelter; the renter must guard his household goods.
Business concerns, factories, churches, schools, colleges and cor
porations must protect their property investments. The man who
can thus provide the security of a oemmunlty against financial loss
from fir* Is its Insurance agent, through his companies.

A8 THE ED1T0B SEES IT
JqIuii;
In many spots ln'tJhlo may be found
monuments erected to the memory of
Jchnny Appleseed. because he served
his fellow men so well and did not
seeH to profit from his service.
John Appleseed's real name was
John Chapman, a Massachusetts man
born In 1775, who went to Ohio In
1880 with sacks of appleserds. Why
he went to Ohio or what his motive
was in following the path In life h?
did Is not recorded.
He was a missionary of the very
finest type. He carried the sacks of
seed on the back of his horse, and
when he could not sell them, he gave
them away.
He not only distributed seeds throu
ghout the countryside, but be often
planted orchards for farmers and
started them on the road to Indepen
dence and prosperity. He took great
pride in his seeds and he wanted them
to grow into fruit-bearing trees.
On account of his earnestness of
purpose and his desire to serve, he
was a very successful salesman, but
he sold on very close margins and
gave away all of his profits to custom
ers who did not pay. He didn't need
much money for his own use, It is re
lated, because his object in life was
not to make money.
But he was in no sense of the word
a beggar, because he paid his way
many times. He was welcomed by
mr.ny a lonely homesteader of that
early day because of the cheer that he
brought.
When he made apple trees grow
where no apple trees grew before, and
when he left behind Ideas that made
people live richer lives, he enjoyed all
of the pleasures of a man who had
achieved and won success.
And now the people whom he be
friended have risen up and cf.lled him
blessed. His work has lived for a
century.
The world Is still eager for the same
kind of service. It stands ready to
reward with Its richest blessings men
who are actuated, not by the desire for
profit, but by the wish to serve hu
manity.
Many such lives are being lived now
in every community, some in smaller
some in larger degrees of service, de
pending on the circle in which their
lives radiate.
We need more Johnny Appleseeds
with the one ambition in life to help
others live a richer and fuller life.
WIld-E jed Driving
"Motorists Kill Three and Injure
Two," says a newspaper headline.
There's nothing particularly unusual
about that. It happens every day in
some city or some rural community.
Lives are continually being slaugh
tered at the altar of the god of speed.
People are becoming so accustomed to
the daily occurence that they no long
er feel the sense of horror that once
accompanied such tragedies.
Wilful disregard of laws and safety
rules, as well as the rules of oommon
decency, as practiced by a growing
number of motorists, is certain to
bring into being a flood of "thou-shalt
not" bills in the legislature.
Though public sentiment seems to
be asleep, it will flare up some day.
when reckless drivers go the limit,
and decent drivers will have to suffer
In the reaction when the pendulum
swings back.
It would be the part of wisdom to
attempt to curb wild-eyed driving be
fore themany have to suffer for the
sins of the few.

We wish to extend our thanks to
our neighbors and friends who so
kindly rendered us service in the sick
ness and death^ot our 'father and
grandfather. Their kindness will ever

Pin Monk
And OurY/wes
The t ,'rm "Pin Money"' dates hack t?? tli. - 14th century
when i>ins were first invented.
They, for some unknown reason, were only allowed to
be sol I on two days each year and being hand made,
"were ' i v h in price. So it became a custom for money to
be given to women at their marriage to be used for the
purchase of pins.
Today jiins are cheap but the custom of giving women
small wUms for personal expense still exists.
That was the 14th century; this is the 20 century. To
day the women are political and social equals of men
and should he financial equals as well.
As tho head of your household she should own a check
ing ac .count and not be given just "Jin Money."
