Our New Fourth Industry
The moving-picture business, is
now rated as the fo T ufth largest
American industry according In of
ftcial figures. with one and one-half
billion dollars cash invested.
The 20,000 picture houses-in the
United States take M 2,000,00' from
the 42,000,000 (>eople who visit them
during the six working days of each
week. " V
It is one of the marvels of the
century that in -the short space of
only a. lew years the jx'ople should
be willing to pay as. much for a small
amusement-as the entire government
cost 30 years ago.
It is also marvelous to st'e how
quickly a thing can grip (teople and
fasten itself on them a» a'habit..- Ks

"Liberty" and The Ten Commandments
"a magazine of religious
freedom,' published at Washington,
i/. -says in a. recent article that
"the* Ten ('omniabdmeOts are still
adequate." The funny part about
the article is the fact .thai it-quotes
one of the "most stringent laws as an
argument against laws.
One ennfmantiment says. "Remem
ber the. .Sabbath. I Jay,: to keep it
holy." The,journal especially ob
jects to this particular law of God
if it is to be put in force by the
nation.

Prices are better this week on the good and fine tobacco, and the market's average has been the best of the season, GORMAN'S averaged last week $24.28 for all we sold, and we had a
