THE MORNING STAR. WILMINGTON; N. C, SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 192 J." FOURTEEN ill' i i - 'i By the Wayside Know all men by these presents, as they say in proclamations, deeds and o forth, that on the 29th of June. 1921, something- is sroingr to take place that : kill set on the froit pages of all the newspapers, and make old, rheumatic fellows who have been keeping off - their feet for years, jump up and stir around. A tip has Just come through the malls, all the way from Seattle, Wash., and being of a generous dis- position, this column will pass it around. To begin with the start of it alU the tip is printed, and It is rather bum jobwork, too. It is headed: "Woe, Woe Woe Unto the Inhabitants of the Karth." The explanation follows that it is "a message direct from God! Out i.t Heaven." The message is rather wildly worded, but it will do. It says: "Thus saith the Lord: The United S fates shall have a hard war. There will be no money in circulation. Every business man; will have a kind of money of his own (hot dog!) and the government will issue script! He gave me a presentment of the script, and I was permitted to read it. And the Lord spake unto me and said: Now, that will be good so don't be afraid of the script, for the script should be good. And again, God is going to, and is now gathering a peculiar people at '-'Mt. Carmel. 7028 Ninth avenue, N. W., Seattle, Wash., by his spirit, who be lieve God and do his Will, from the uttermost parts of the earth, whom He calls Israelites. Their peculiarity is their long hair and their faith in Jesus' sayings, believing in a full re demption of spirit, soul and body, in '. 'this, our day St. John 6:59, 8:51 & 11:26." As if all that wasn't enough to arouse Interest in every heart, the rev elation goes on and says: "And again, thus saith the Lord: On June 29. 1921. the greatest event will take place that hat taken Place from Adam's time down to this day; and gather your '. selves together, ye sons of God, from the uttermost parts of the earth, to Mt. Carmel, 7028 Ninth avenue, N. W., Seattle, Wash. And 144,000 fills the Lord's Table." "And aga'n," continues tin astound ing oommunicationC "thus saith- the Lord: Los Angeles shall have a hard earthquake, rfnd the whele state of Caliiornia shall be submerged unin the water. Therefore, fiee to tb mountains, all ye IsraeL which is Mt. Carmel, Seattle, Wash., the House of Refuge. The 7th Golden Candlestick, the 7th Messenger, 7th Star, 7th Angel, 7th Church-Laodicea. to whom the 1 seals are opened. The Mysteries are finished. The 7th and last Trumpot. Yetsix months and then the Great Event." After some delicately complimentary things about the way the paper is edited, the letter closes: "Its from God; it will come to pass and lie not. Judgment is now upon Israel and in a short time the whole earth will pass 'nto Judgment." Having thus put out the word in due form and fashion, anybody who lets ihe 25th of June slip upon him una wares, ihus exposing himself to the :lreat Event without preparation, need not come complaining to this office. for the result of such carelessness must fall on his own head, "Yes." said a middle-aged citizen; "them wuz the times." He was hark ing back to. his boyhood, "down on the farm." and closing his eyes, stretching out his legs, and folding his hands across his generous abdominal devel opment, he began: "I mind.jnany hap py days at my grandpftp's. They had a fireplace so big it looked like they built it to keep from cutting wood, for you could back a hoss ami cart into it, and unload a cord. Early part of the night, after the blackjack logs had produced a lot of .ashes, they'd pile about a half bushel of sweet potatoes in the ashes, kiver them up, and man! the honey jes dripped out of them sweetest potatoes I ever et. And all around the eaves of the house the old man wonld stick up apples to mellow. That house was one sweet-smelling place!" "Yes, and they cooked in one of these old-fashioned ubens. Best bread in the world! I wish 1 had a passle of biscuits baked thataway right now! I wlih X could set down to a meal o' wittles like grandmaw used, to oook in pota hung on an Iron bar in that big fireplace. Makes me young jes to think about it. Man living like that on a farm, if he's fixed right and aint' got Us nose to the grindstone, Is the 'best off of anybody. He can have what he wants. Beats these here city ways, I'm telling you!" "The argument that a county that is close politically is the best governed," iay an observant citizen, "is not sound. I heard a man say the other day that what we' need here in New Hanover Is two strong parties, a sort Bf nip-an-tuck situation. Against his argument I cited two or three noto- "DANDERINE'7" Girls! Save Your Hail Make It Abundant! riously backward, ill-governed eoun- ties that are 'nip-andrtuck where i floaters are for sale by . the hundreds, j and actually the balance of power; rests in the hands of men whose bal- j lots are for sale a situation created by the closeness of the county as re gards the Democratic and. Republican voting strength. No, sir; there's noth ing in the idea. Some, of the biggest defalcations by county officers in the history of the state, and some of the worst cases of malfeasance in office, are written in the annals of 'close' counties. It is a far worse situation than for a county to be all one way." ARRAN SOCIETY PRIZES AND SUBJECTS IN 1921 YOUNGEST EDITOR AND SMALLEST NEWS SHEET Girl 15 Years Old Runs News paper in Kansas LIBERAL. Kan., Jan. 29. Liberal claims the smallest newspaper an the youngest publisher in the United States. Alice . Nichols, now 15 years old, is owner, editor, business manager, typesetter and pressman of the Nichols Journal. It is a weekly paper of from four to eight pages with two columns six inches in length. Miss Alice first became an editor six years ro. While her father. Dr. Ros coe T: Nichols, was college surgeon at the Kansas State Agricultural callege, Manhattan. Kan., Alice, her brother, "Billy" and other young folks built a play town which they called "Tiny Town." A newspaper was desired; so Alice , was designated to handle this phase of the play town's activities. Un der her charge a paper called the "Tiny Town News" appeared. It related to the doings of Tiny Town citizens. Alice, who was nine years old at that time, printed the paper with a lead penciL Alice's father enlisted in the medical branch of the army at the outbreak of the war. When he went to camp the first issue of the Nichols Journal ap peared to keep him Informed as to family news. This was in August, 1917. The paper was originally -printed on a typewriter and the llrstedition con sisted of three copies. When the pa per became known, subscribers came fast. It soon became too great a task to get out the paper by typewriter, even . with carbon paper. A mimeo graph was installed in the editorial sanctum. This equipment also soon became inadequate and Alice purchas ed two cases of type. She soon became adept at type com position. When the forms are set the papers are printed on a job press in the office of the Liberal Democrat, which has given the young journalist full range in the shop. She doe's her own presswork. The circulation of the Nichols Jour nal now exceeds 125 and is growing rapidly. It is published as an "inde pendent newspaper." The paper has considerable advertising from local merchants. The display advertising rate is ten cents an inch. Miss Nichols declares advertising in her paper brings results. Each issue of her paper contains an editorial which she -thinks out on her way to and from school. As an exam ple of the serious effort which she puts into her work, is the following edito rial urging generosity in relief work from a recent issue: "With America's prosperity it seems inconceivable that there are people not far -away from enlightened happiness who are in the dark abyss of Ignor ance. Ignorance is the base of con stant war. starvation and homeless ness. Ignorance throws Christian and happy people into darkness of horri ble death. It is up to happy American citizens to do away with these condi tions. . The- very lives of many human beings hang on the thread of our country's generosity. Our own happi ness should make us want to do our part. Share your joys." Three Essays On Historical Themes This Year (Special to The Star) 1VANHOE, Jan. 29.

(Adv. ; . . v CHICAGO, Jan. 29. The desire on the part of the average patron of the public eating house to save time and money in procuring hb meals. Is as signed by C. A. Westberg, manager of a chain of Chicago cafeterias, as the reason for the rise of the cafeteria during recent years to a prominent place In public favor. "People also like to see what kind of food they are getting before they order it," he says, asserting that the advantage of inspecting the various dishes offered Is a possible third fac tor in the growth of the "self service" plan. Mr. Westberg says that whereas five or six years ago people hesitated to patronize a first floor cafeteria for fear of being recognized by friends, and that establishment f such a place was then a precarious step on that account, now the "help yourself" idea is at the height of its popularity. In the five self service eating houses in Chicago managed by Mr. Westberg 15,000 meals are served daily, he estimates. He fixes the average amount of a check at 45 cents. Few persons attempt to evade pay ment of their bills, and these are usu ally boys from 17 to 20 years of age, and occasionally women. Such at tempts often are successful during the busy periods. Other patrons, while willingly paying for their meals carry away with them souvenirs in the form of cafeteria equipment, such as spoons and napkins. A supply: of one hundred dozen small German silver Jmtter plates pot intoervlce at one cafeteria a year ago has been depleted through onslaughts of "souvenir bunters and now practically none remain in posses sion of the house. "The butter plates made very accept able ash trays," remarked Mr. West berg in accounting for their disappear ance. Napkins are often taken away by customers through oversight and many of them returned. The management, Mr. We.stberg states, receives in' the mail every week, napkins .from various parts of the middle west, apparently taken away unintentionally by Chicago visitors. The manager sees hope for further declines in the cost of meals -but de clares such reductions must be preced ed by wage reductions. He says the cost of labor has Increased more than 100 per cent in the past four years. A decided preference for: table linen rather than bare tables has been- ex pressed by patrons, he says. r Motor fire apparatus patented by a Philadelphia inventor elevates a cage at the end of a tower from .which streams of water can be directed or persons rescued from burning build ings; .

Jan. 29 Tucked away In a corner or northern Africa, bordering on the Red sea is a little discussed Italian colony known as Eritrea. This region seems practically unknown to the average American ex porter, yet Indications are that the Eritrean port "of Massaua will be the principal port for the rich trade of northern Abyssinia and the entreport for an Important trade with the Ara bian Red sea district, says American Consul Addison E. Southard, of Aden, Arabia, In a special report on the col ony Just published by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the department of commerce. The report is based on observations .made by Mr. Southard during his three and one-half years' service as consul at Aden, sup plemented by a personal visit to all Important trading centers of Eritrea. "It may be said that Eritrean mar kets are an important factor in serving the 6ommercial needs of possibly 5,000 000 people," says Consul Southard. Sev eral of the leading firms of Eritrea are interested in American trade connec tions. Considerable imports of cotton piece goods, iron and steel, galvanized iron sheeting or roofing, and kerosene are received from ttie United States. American soap, builders' hardware, canned fruits, macaroni, etc., are part of the stock in trade pf many of the larger retail shops. "Italian sentiment in Eritrea favors American, and Amor lean goods at present appear to be beat established," states the consul. The report discusses the colony anl its commercial possibilities, contains trade suggestions, indicates .tradinR centers and transportation facilities, devotes space to finance and banking;, etc. The market for manufactured goods is given individual attention, each class being discussed separately.
