READING IN THE
HOME p
9 8 9 9 9 9 9 8 9 P
There is no better way for
parents to encourage children
to stay at home evenings than
by providing them with good
reading and set the example
by spending an hour or two
after the evening meal with
books papers and magazines.
In this way, children train
their minds by thinking with
the best writers.
There,s a wealth of infor
mation in print today and for
tunate are those who like to
read. Children who like to
read will improve their oppor
tunities for service in society.
Regardless of the short terms
of school, over-worked and un
der-paid teachers, reading in
the home will give children
a start and enable them to be
come useful and successful as
citizens of the State and the
Nation.
Our schools would be more
efficient, our young people
find more pleasure and greater
interest in the home and be of
more service to the community
if reading were encouraged
and good books and clean, ele
vating and reliable periodicals
provided.
A PRESENT HELP
The Writer—Listen old man,
can you loan me a ten spot?
I don’t get my salary until to
morrow.
The Artist—Sorry old top,

BOY DIVES FROM TRAIN
Escapes Irom Sheriff, Returns
Home, Recaptured
Cotter Feb. 13—John Keen,
a fourteen year old boy of
Harrison#gained a reputation
as a stunt artist several days
ago, when he made a wild dive
through the window of the
lavatory on the southbound
passenger train, leaving sheriff
Johnson, who had him in
charge, taking him to the
| Boys’ Industrial School. John
j and the sheriff were on the
I assenger train again yester
day, and the former had hand
cuffs on his legs instead of
his wrists.
When John made his fast
getaway he was handcuffed
to another boy, also being tak
en to the school. They asked
: permission to go to the lava
tory. Once inside John twist
ed his wrists loose, raised the
window and dived.
His companion was terrified
thinking that he had killed
himself, but when he looked
out of the window the youth
was on his feet waving to him.
The train was runing twenty
five miles an hour. He did
not have any other place to
go besides home, and was tak
en in charge before the sheriff
got back.

FOOLISH DISCUSSION
Arthur Brisbane, ihe most
widely read editorial writer in
the world, says:
In one church Sunday morn
ing the Rev. Dr. Straton ar
gued with the. not Rev. Wil
liam A. Brady as to the morals
of moving picture and stage
people. Foolish discussion.
There are some immoral actors
and actresses. There are even
some immoral clergymen, and
some have gone to jail. But
1 nobody with any sense denoun
1 ces the stage, or that great
modern educating force, the
moving picture, because some
actors or managers are fools. .
Nobody certainly would de
nounce the church because
here and there a clergyman _
had committed a crime or been 2
convicted of breaking up some- j
body else’s family. jj
An institution is one thing, .;
the individual another.” *

For red-blooded action, tremendous heart appeal
• and thrilling scenes, few pictures equal “Half a
Chance.” It sweeps you onward with its surge of
action as it shows the soul of a man’s man—a worn
5 an’s hero—as he is lashed by Fate, with everything
•; against him except a faithful dog, when an accident
! gave him half a chance, and he made a successful
jj “come-back’’ in a manner that is thrilling and in
; spirational. It is a picture you won’t forget soon.
