Arbuckle Case and Motion
Picture Industry
A RK A NS AS GAZETTR
A dispatch from Los Ange
les informs us that motion pic
ture actors and actresses are
moving quitely for the protec
tion of their careers and their
reputations by the ostracism
of certain undesirables. This
is a sensible move and will
serve to put down the semi
hysterical outburst that has
followed the arrest of Ar
buckle.
The motion picture industry
now is the fourth largest in
the United States. It employs
hundreds of thousands of
people and it is not to be ex
pected that all of these or all
of the actors and actresses
will prove to be highly moral.
It is not proper, however, to
condemn all motion picture
stars, or stars-to-be, because
one star is charged with a
terrible crime. As yet Ar
Ductile nas not put ms mae oi
the case before the public.
But even if he should be able
to prove his innocence, he will
find it difficult to win his way
* I
back to public favor. Of
course, if his guilt is proven,
he is all through.
The indignation aroused by
the charges against Arbuckle
should not blind u» to the val
ue and importance of motion
pictures in our ever-day life.
Primarily the pictures give, en
tertainment. to millions of peo
ple daily and at a small price.
Plays ofa gripping heart inter
est and plays that uplift, that
millions would not see and
know if their presentation
were confined to the “spoken
drama,” are shown on the
screen. There have been bad
pictures, but when we consid
er the extent of the industry
we may well wondei at the
small number of these. The
bad pictures should not cause
us to forget the good pictures
that are shown 01 the beau
tiful stories that are told.
But this case really has
nothing to do with the motion
picture industry as a whole.
The place of the film drama
is firmly fixed. The educa
tional valu ■ >f the films is
great. Hysteria should not
be allowed to do even tempor
ary hurt to this form of enter
tainment that has grown to
be so important to so many of
us.

COUNTRY LIFE
AND THE FAMILY
A news dispatch reports
that in Cook county, Illinois,
which includes the city ot Chi
cago, there was one divorce
last year for every five mar
riages.
Did you ever notice how
family troubles are more com
mon in large cities? The big
ger the place, the more dis
content, the more family jars,
the more divorces, the more
wrecked homes and children
set adrift in the world.
When you work to keep
people living in country towns
you work for a wholesome
family life. In rural commun
ities, the people have their
minds taken up by honest in
dustry and friendly neighbor
hood life. This makes for
better and happier homes.
PEARL WHITE FRIDAY.
g THE HOME TOWN Q
t a S IMHI i y i5
More towns die for want of
confidence on the part of busi
ness men, and public spirit,
than from rivalry of neigh
boring towns or adverse sur
roundings. When a man is in
search of a home or business
location, and goes to a town
and finds everything brim
lul of hope and enthusiasm
over the prospects of the place
and earnestly at work to build
up the town, he soon bceomes
imbued with the same spirit,
and as a result he drives down
his stakes and goes to work
with the same interest. When,
however, he goes to a town
and everyone expresses doubt
and apprehension in the fu
ture prospects of the town, he
naturally feels that it is not
the place for him, and at
once shakes the dust from his
feet, while he pulls with all
possible speed for some other
rnnooniiontlv trv 5* Till
make a live, enterprising, pro
gressive town out of one in
which you live, and remem
ber that when you are work
ing or saying good words for
your town, you are accomplish
ing all the more for yourself.
Then speak a good word for,
our town.

ONE BRAND’
ONE QUALITV’
One Size Package
All our skill, facilities, and lifelong knowledge of the
finest tobaccos are concentrated on this one cigarette—
CAMEL.
Into this ONE BRAND, we put the utmost quality.
Nothing is too good for Camels. They are as good as it’s
possible to make a cigarette.
Camel QUALITY is always maintained at the same high,
exclusive standard. You can always depend on the same
mellow-mild refreshing smoothness—the taste and rich
flavor of choicest tobaccos — and entire freedom from
cigaretty aftertaste.
And remember this! Camels come in one size package
only—20 cigarettes—just the right size to make the greatest
saving in production and packing. This saving goes
straight into Camel Quality. That’s one reason why you
can get Camel Quality at so moderate a price.
Here’s another. We put no useless
frills on the Camel package. No “extra
wrappers!” Nothing just for show!
Such things do not improve the smoke
any more than premiums or coupons. And
their added cost must go onto the price
or come out of the quality.
One thing, and only one, is responsible
(for Camels great and growing popularity
—that is CAMEL’ QUALITY.
