PAGE THE CONCOW DAILY TRIBUNE Vdbctiay. January 3, MH 8 b - "The Other Side of Main Street bOMO Stone Hut Touch the Heart and Tickle the Rib. BY WILLIAM ALLEN WRITE. When William Allen White has something to say the whole of America and a considerable portion of the remain der of the world sit up and listen. His name alone sells newspapers You may not agree with all his views con cerning politics, morals and economics, bat you are bound to agree that he is a wonderful writer; and when he tarns from reporting and editorials to stories, those inimitable tales of his, it makes no difference who you are or what your tastes, he will charm you. Bill Allen White put the small town on the map and keeps one young city. Emporia, Kansas not so very long ago it was a small town in the headlines. His stores are of real people home folks and every man or woman who lives in a small town as most Americans do or has lived in one, will recognize himself or his neighbors in the char acters who lie and breathe in the witchery of Mr. White's pen. It was this writer who discovered Main Street. Sin clair Lewis saw one side of the thoroughfare and a few of the backyards, and his observations" made a book that has sold by the thousands. But William Allen White sees both sides of Main Street, and knows all the roads and lanes leading off it. and he, writes about them in these stories. He is the one American author who can write the most de lightful human-interest stories, and then turn right around and exercise the vision of a statesman in powerfuWarticles on political, governmental and economic subjects. He re ported the Peace Conference, which resulted in the Treaty of Versailles, for more than fifty American newspapers; his dailv reports on the Armament Limitations Conference at Washington were read by millions; his articles from nat ional gr'iticnl conventions have caused him to be styled "the greatest n porter in the world.''' .But although he l;a this rcportorial and editorial abil ity.and is known the world over as one of the keenest ob servers of po'itical events, it was stories of small-town life. Mich as this scries, that made his name a household w ord in America and have made his books sell by the hundreds of 'thousand.-. "Titles of a few of these hooks which are in constant demand at every public library in the country are: "Stratagems and Spoils." "In )ur Tow n." "A Certain Rich Man." -The Old Order Chan-eth. the Heart of a Fool." "The Martial and Me." and "The Court of Boyville." The greatest magazines in the United States vie with each other to obtain articles and stories from his pen. and when they get them, advertise them to the limit. Stories bv him are to be seen regularly in Saturday Evening Post. Collier's and other national publications. Everyone is fa miliar with his recent action in withdrawing his contribu tions from a prominent periodical because he disagreed with its policy on a certain public issue; also his contro versy with his life-long friend, the governor of Kansas, is a part of current history. White's characters seem t" liave an actual existence ni,aybe they are taken from life. His boys and girls arc the' kind that are good for a reminiscent laugh a minute. His stories of a small-town newspaper office are veritable gems. And furthermore, neither Booth Tarkington, Sin clair Lewis nor any one of the other authors who are meeting th'fs pnbMc demand is- equal to William Allen White in the production of small-town stuff. Not one of them has his understanding, sympathy and insight into small-town life in America. There are sixteen of these remarkable stories, and one of them appears in The Tribune today. Watch for the others. "Cod's Puppets." "In Adventures of Henrv EDUCATE CHILDREN TO SERVICE OF HUMANITY, PLAN OF YEOMEN'S HOME Vlftav w. R SHIBLEV A '14 V CHICAGO, ILL.

Today the Boston papers would slap extras on their presses and in the shake of a little lamb's tail the whole thrilling mes sage would be in each home of the well known county. I ' - This represents the advance of 150 years in the important business of spreading news. The cry of "Exjra Extra" on the midnight air brings startled folks to their doors as once did the pound of a horse's hoofs and the breathless kbut of the rider. Papers have supplanted the'eourier multiplied his effectiveness many times increased his speed a hundredfold. H6w far back we would go without newspapers 1 We would remain in ignorance not only of events at home and abroad but also of much that con cerns us jhst as vitally news of the very things that have to do with the per sonal, evcry-day life-ff each one of us. :- ( leraln.

Cnlted States is one of the larc cst milk, luitter anil cheese producing nations in the world, according to the Department of Agiiculture. althouirh it is not one of the largest exporting countries in these products, nor are Americans great eaters of dairy prod ucts. Sweden, hlch has only one- jghteentli of this country's population, and only one fourteenth as many cows, uses sixty-one gnUous of whole milk per capita, and Denmark, with about three-fourths' as ujany cows, uses sixty-eight gallons, while the I'nited States uses only fwety-thrcc gallons. Not all countries use so much us Sweden auri De.nuiwk. Of eleven countries the per apira consumption of whole milk, which is given in the new Handbook of Dairy Statistics, the I'niied States dimes exactly in the middle, with live higher and live, low er. Sweden and Detnark being at the top of the list. The lowest is Italy, with a Consumption of only four gal lons of whole milk per capita a year. and next comes Kreat Britain with twenty-two gallons, pr about half as much as this country. Italy is about the middle of the list of cheese users, ami comes next to Ar gentina, which is lowest on the list of butter users. The United States holds tenth place among thirteen nations in the per capita consumption of cheese, and fifth phlce among thirteen in but ter. Canada stands at the head of the list on butter, each person In that country using twenty-seven pounds a year, while in the United Stated each person uses about fifteen pounds. Switzerland, thirteen; Denmark. 1'-', and the United States four pounds. Damnurk and Sweden, which head the list of whole-milk users. Jipth make dairying one of their main lines of business, and have one cow for every three, or four persons. The Swedes put most of their product into their own mouths, while the Dnnes, being only half as mlmerouB, have a good deal to sell to other people. The Americans have seven or eight times us many cows as the Swedes and Danes together, but fewer in proporitlon to the population. In proportion to th number of people we use a smaller quantity of milk and its products than a numlH'r oJT other nations.
