The Kind of Entertainment the Public Wants The people seem to have lost their pictures, we are influenced in tcery taste for the type of entertainment way by them. offered by the church, the school, or A w j ne .bath scene would draw a any other thing that is not tainted f(l) j hougc th e travels of a gen with the Hollywood smell or the Bev- l|tman thn)Ugh Ule roaiia of the cr'y Hi,ls thrilL world would not attract so many. The The advertising matter must „ d thirgtinf clear indication of the modern thrill.. ... The public will go if it is a scandal; if it is a lesson that will strengthen! the body, mind, and charades of man tbey will not go. If the pictures hold up day by day the noble and fair' things, things that are beautiful and sane in art, they will lose most of: those who are now the movie fiends. People who go to the theater are j neither mad nor unclean yet. It is very tempting to even the best of usj to follow the trail of pictures made; by such murderous scalawags as "Fatty" Arbuckle, and suc| leacherou. 1 adulterers as Charlie Chaplin without havrng our ideals of life very much lowered. Men of their ilk may make a thoughtless world laugh, but they are incapable of elevating a soul. It is of little wonder that we see so many young men and young women sometimes walk the gang plank that leads to sorrow, shame, and disgrace when their very' souls are being fed day by day with that deadly food that kindles, rather than subdues, the pas sions. When we associate with the bad, we may become like them. If we read their writings, we may think .... - . -4 as they do; but when we see their .it . . i who own the 12 Federal land banks do not receive vital information to which they are entitled. * Mr. Thompson's article will be at tentively read by farmers—and prob ably also by politicians—in all parts of the country. It is too long and too riosely written to be summed up in a few lines, but a paragraph or two will indicate its trend: "Farmers who own >56,000,000 of stock in the 12 land banks are worse of! than stockholders in any other rep utable enterprise In the United States. In any normal corporation the holder of securities automatically receives an annual financial statement which deals with that enterprise and no other. Farmers! who hold stock in the dis-j trict land banks receive no annual re port without solicitation. Washing ton gives out a consolidated state ment which would conftise any but an expert. Kven for an expert the infor mation is inadequate. "Without the general knowledge of| the farmers who foot the bill, ex-] penses of the loan board In Washing-j ton have swelled to more than $500,000 annually. Stockholders will not find this item in the report. There are 600j appraisers and examiners constantly! traveling." . " 4 THE ENTERPRISE WILLI AMSTON, N. C.
