Back in the early summer the humorous Journal*, with their minds gone barren because of the heat, begun to turn out variations on this succulent theme, accompa nying their texts with illuminating pictures, calculated to stir the tor pid risibilities of whomsoever! spent 15 cents for a copy of their ( Journal. But this Is the final variation. The Joke has arrived at Its natural | destination. The worm has turned square around in the road, as will Ih* seen three or four paragraphs ; down the page. Of course It may i not be as funny as Home of the va riations or not as funny to every body. but In the opinion of this department the last word In varia tions Is about to bo written. This department was made prior to the variation by Its hostess In the formerly remote county in the mountains some days since, and [ the principals in the final act of j the comedy were pointed out, ev-j Jen to the obvious abrasion*. There i are probably a lot of lessons and j moral* that might be appended to ! the story, bill 1 think th?-y are ob i vious enough for anybody not J | wholly befogged. They are as ob vious as the youtlTs healing abra- ! ' slons. ' It came to pass upon a certain ' day given wholly to feasting and making merry by the people of the' formerly remote county that one o( the decorative youths of the | country seat borrowed his father's! [flivver and set for to disseminate pleasure amongst hi* arqualntan-; ?tcs. and to make merry with the populaco who had come thither ' from all sorts of places. This youth was very modern.1 for all that he lives In a formerly! remote county. His pants were very Wide at the bottom, and stirred up little clouds of dust as ' he dragged the skirts of them ? hither and thither among the fes- ; I live throng. His hair was heavi ly gummed with goose grease. Ills! 'shirt was open at the neck, and a gay-tie was knotted carelessly some distance below his Adam's apple His sleeve* were rolled up away above his elbows. Altogether h?* was quite a senna lion amongst the country folk who came to the county seat that day. My hontes* tells me that he | Was showered with admiring glan ces by the younger females of the assemblage, albeit their fathers. | or such of them as noticed them, plucked at their beards and spat tobacco juice upon the ground. The younger males from the hills, who atlll believe In wearing ties la the accustomed fashion, looked upon hi* With some eavy r Mounting the paternal flivver, | the festive youth rode gra ! among the multitude, with a great honking of his horn. He had con I trlred a cut-out. which added some i to the festive uproar. During tho morning ho engaged himself al most wholly In exhibitionism, giv < Ing all the rountry girls a chance ; to look at him, and coyly neglect ' lug to concentrate his attentions I upon any one of them. Apparent ly he had a great time with hlro i Rolf a and wkR by no means Inadver ! tant to the Herniation' he wati caus ing. i Toward evening he began to concentrate, and after h while he i had engaged a homely lass from the hills In talk. She, perhaps. J was greatly flattered. At any J rate, the chance lo rfde In a flivver I didn't come her way every day. Ho j they went off. heading toward a I tranquil and Utile traveled section I of the country. They conversed | about divers matters, and the' ! youth found the girl In a very | agreeable mood. She was bright land interesting. . Of course the flivver xtopped ! unaccountably, being u well trained flivver. Followed the us ual business*. The ftirl's face grew [ red with anger uu/1 humiliation.! "tJet out and walk home then,"' nald the youth, adhering to the formulae. The girl got out and stood hesitant benlde the road. Hh? was seven miles from town and her folks waiting there to take her home. She turned appealingly to the youth, lie mistook her move- ! ment for a flign of relenting, got ' out and moved toward her. And what did n\ie do? She went to the nearest fence, got a rail off the top of It, and mauled the tar oat of the youth. Rhe bruised him and she broke the rail. Then she took a fragment of It about three feet long and further assumed command of the situation. "You get Into that front seat and drive, and drive careful." she directed. Hhe herself got into the back seat, still holding the fragment of the rail where she could use It effec tively. And so they came back Intd town. The festive crowds were still there. She brought him to a standstill In the midst of the thickest of the crowd. Hhe got out and joined her friends and rela tions. There was. of course, a great ado. Oentlemcn with whis ker* spat further upon the ground and observed to one another that they had thought as much. Some suggested a lynching, but as they patched the brulaed shlek limp away through the erowd. they con cluded that the girl had herself done about all that was needful. \ Which bring* the Joke about the girl who wslked home back to about where It belongs, and pro vide# the final variation. CG'OLIDGE TALKS AND EVERYBODY HAS LISTENED (louniilrrakli' Political Sig nificance U Attached to lilt* Silent Mail's Itrrrnl Interview THE HUMAN SIDE Uruee Harlou Managed to Give the Clearest Picture of the President Ever Yet Portrayed it> DAVID l.AW HKM'K lunnikl. hA. by Iki Ad????r > Washington. Sept -4. Consid prahlc political ? significance |n at tached here to the fact that Pre* Ident Coolldge departed from pre cedent and authorized Bruce Bar ton. magazine writer and head of Barton. l)uiHtiiic ulnl Osborne, one of the leading aid vert Ising agencies In New York, to distribute through The Associated Press a sketch of h is personality. The Interview In regarded hero an one of Jhe best presentations of ! the President's personality aud gives a clearer picture than ban ever been given of the human aide of Mr. Coolldge. So far aa is I known here the Interview wuh not : pre-arranged. Mr. I tart on visit ed the President at White Pine ('amp and wax so Impressed with ; the President's personality and his Interesting matuier of self-rev ( elation that he sought and ob i tallied permission to publish his | notes. Although the interview pro voked much discussion among ! newspaper men iu Washington and some commented that this probably meant the end of the anonymous "official spokesman" and the beginnlug of a new policy 011 the part of the White House with reference to publicity, the concensus of opinion wuh that Mr. Coolldge was well supported by acta' of his predecessors In grant ing exclusive Interviews. Presi dent Wilson gave two exclusive ifc. terviews to Samuel O. fllythe of the "Saturday Kvenlng I'ost" and President Harding did likewise. It was noted that Mr. Coolldge did not give expression to any views on current uffairs, but merely an swered questions about his person ality. Kurly in his administration j he gave the same privilege to | French Ktrother of "World's I Work." I This, however, so far as is [the first time any President has given an exclusive Interview to,<t news association and there n Were comments on every side hejaModay *for the enterprise of Barton In having been the^ffrst tn obtain the right to quote tho Presldnr? directly. 80 far us the political phases of the incident are concerned. It was Interpreted as having this Im portance: For several months the : political leaders friendly to the President have been convinced that Mr. Coolldge alone could strengthen the opportunity of the Republican party to retain control of both houses of Congress. [Throughout the summer at Paul Smith's, callers on the President gave out a series of Interviews em phasizing the prosperity of the 1 country , but critics have been say ing that while the Coolldge admin istration was strong, the Presi dent's personality was not well enough known and was not as big an asset as It should be. The Impression that Mr. Cool ldge was a cold and detached In dividual who mslntalned a secre jtiveness and silence that kept hftn from human contacts had been spread. Mr. Barton's Interview re futes any such impression and re reals the President as possesed of the same human characteristics and instincts as his fellow citi zens. The President In, of course, a man of few words, but he Is. on the other hand, by no means un communicative. When he Is be Ing visited by public men and his views on public questions are sought, he In naturally on his; guard for It is true that every hint ; or Intimation of a President's viewpoint Is considered significant 1 when repeated. Mr. Coolldge does, not object to revealing the per sonal side of the Presidency and In the Barton Interview he has Jus tified the statements of so many of his friends who have Insisted 1 that the true Coolldge Is a man of likeable personality. ?

This Installation has not l>eeii completed, and will not be for several weeks or longer; but Mr. Jennings and those asso ciated with him decided Thursday ' night that they might as well be gin the term with such temporary sanitary equipment as may be ne cessary, aince otherwise the cloa ! ing of the achool year would be forced too far into next Rummer. Central High will begin the term with an enrollment of 400 .to 450 pupils ? far larger than the . enrollment of any other rural school In this section ou the op 'ening date of Itn first year.

Within a few minutes after Tom Itellly had announced at the ring side that t ipj world had a knew heavyweight champion, the nation knew it. | Through the courtesy of M. Shelby llurgess. advance booking agent of the Alkrama Theater, a j representative of The Dally Ad vance was enabled lo follow the fight, round by ruuml. close to .one of the best equipped receiving ' seta in the city, und yet enough i apart from the crowd to take notes on it without Interruption. Mr. I llurgess had installed a table In jthe orchestra box, JuhI under the huge loudspeaker, and here the newspaperman was stationed un I til the announcer gave word of .the surprising outcome of that momentous battle iu the dripping rain in the big Sosqul Stadium at Philadelphia. Likewise at the light party put on in the grill room of the Apotli [ecary Shop by Harrison & McCoy with the Improved Atwater Kent receiving set. The Advance was of fered special accommodatlonii and i for a time until Western Union began to function The Advance j editor In person sat in on that party, to pick up such sidelights as he might that would aid liini In handling the 'Associated I'ress round by round report of the fight as It came In over the wire. In oldentally Western Union gave (The Advance the fastest service I I Ills newspaper has ever enjoyed on anything short of leased wire, the report of round ten being on the linotype operator's copy hook j by 10:30. I -It tie Hoys Hel|ie<l I Finally, up on the third floor I of The Advance building John and I Tom Peele took In the fight over their own small radio receiving set, and it wan this service which enabled The Advance to announce from the window of the editor's office the outcome of the fight lo the crowd below within a few mln- { utes after the decision was an- 1 nounccd at the ringside. Hut did the radio kill the In terest of the flirtit fans In the printed story of the fight? Not so you would notice It. In fact, radio reports seemed to whet I the appetite of the fans for the printed word. Never In the his tory of this newspaper has such loach or will bo moved lo tlio new school mill tlio oiir remaining will teach tlio flrnt three gradex, tlio fourth grade being moved to New Central. If tin- attendance dOM not JiiHtlfy even that, both teachers will ho moved to New Central, and Fork School will he closed. Thin arrangement ban heon adopted temporarily, Mr., Jennings explains, to avoid work Iiik a hardship on tin* Fork com tnunlty hy reanon of the new con solidation. Mr. llolmex urges emphatically that every child- who cxpecta to at tend child at any time during the Vcar, he on haiid Monday morning.

I Preliminary to the opening of the pension, a mooting. of the teachers of the ""New Central School will lie held at the nchool Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The New Central district was formed an the result of a success- 1 ful election held in Nlxonton and ! Csrtwrlght's nchool district* No vember 17, Isat. Am Indicative of I popular sentiment on the merger, I Mr. Jennings cites that of a total rif fi2 registered votera in Cart- j Wright's A h voted for it, and none against.

With n speed of ( li.ooo an hour, (be* web perfecting Duplex was soon running ahead of the street demand for papers, and as a result, long before midnight 'the preys bad stopped turning and J :i00 papers had beeu mailed i?ut j to subscribers on the railroad north and south of Kllzaheth City. I Of course It was then too late to catch the southbound train, but what's that in this day of paved roads? When the Houthhound mall had been weighed in and sacked ut the postolTice. It was I dispatched by flivver to Hertford. ? where folks on arising this mo ru | ini, found copies of The Advance 011 their doorstep or in their box post ofT ice. And on the return trip from Hertford. Wlnfall and Cliap anoke subscribers were nerved '.with the extra edition. 'Tun* hit.H of Work All of this meant lots of work. Jof course. Hut The Advance staff nnd force were happy In It. There is no such animal as a newspaper .man who doe* not get a trenien ? dous kick out of seeing bin paper 'beat all competition and give the j folks news that they want when | they want it. | The Alkraiua was packed to the [doors for the fight. Though a | prize light has heretofore been re garded generally as a sport as dis tinctly for as of men, there were many girls and women in the | audience; and they plainly took as breathless an Interest In it as the most rabid of the masculinc flight fans. Unfortunately, weath er conditions were not of the best, I and the receiving was hampered .somewhat by sjLutic, but the geu | Neman at the other end of the j radio repeated his announcements round by round, and every one was able to follow the fight In a general way at least. The radio equipment at the Alkroma had been Installed by Councllmsn 1). Ray Kramer, who d?*als in electri cal su pplit's during such odd mo ments as he can spare front his Councilinauic duties. Precious Minnies Saved Preparations had been made at the offices of The Dally Advance to put out an extra as soon after 'the fight as was practicable. With I the assistance of the radio. It was possible to write a "lead" on the battle, and save precious minutes I In getting to press with the first published account of It here. Thus It was. by an interlinking of radio and wire service, that the j big Duplex press was grinding out ; papers within an hour after the mighty Jack surrendered 1il? 1 I crown to the Fighting Marine. Dozens of newsboys quickly were at work, covering all sections of the city, nnd yelling "Kxtrn!" at | the top of their voices. And they [ found business good, despite the i late hour. Kllzaheth City, therefore, was' I able, with the rest ?f the country. I to rise hrlub^and early and dls Icuss the of the flj-ht. And : the multitude was enabled to hear,'.
