melodies to the latest love rags.

torial comment on Lincoln's life with
I more of the same analogy. More
j than one recalled with regret the
I sorry attitude shown by Great Britain
j during the period of America's great
I trial and amplified on the Premier's
jiemindur that oven Gladstone had
failed to appreciate what it meant to
1 America. As for Booker T. Wash
ington, the occMsion for bringing the
illustrious negro to the front is the
everylody-keep-a-pig campaign. It
seems that Washington shortly before
his death carried on just such a cam
paign himself, causing the formation
of Pig clubs throughout the south.
He promulgated the doctrine that if
every negro family would keep one
pig, bought at IfD a head, in a few
months, with hogs nt their then
price, $14,000,000 would be added to
wealth of the colored race "with
which to promote- its welfare during
the money stringency created by the
European war. Give each bov and
girl an opportunity to own and grow
at least one pig," ho concluded. "Ad
mirable advice. Why not in Eng
land?" says one editorial commenta
tor. Incidentally the keep-n-pig cam
paign is attaining great headway in
this country. If the supply of corn
can be maintained rural England may
even supplant Pixio ns the abode of
that renewed institution Hog and
Hominy.
"THE MAN WHO STOOD STILL"
"Kraus' most intimate friend and .
neighbor is Spiegel, a kindred soul. '
Both parents have planned for years I
the ultimate union of their children, !
and have set their hearts upon this i
alliance, as usual, taking for granted j
the concurrence of the parties most
vitally interested."
Indirectly, this proposed alliance is :
the means of bringing sorrow to "The ''
Man Who Stood Still." This picture'
carries an appeal to every parent. Do
not fail to take your chidren to see it '
at the Arcade theatre Wednesday and '
Thursday. You will not soon foreet
