The stunt was employed this week in announcing “Red Dust” a particularly poor and harmless picture which appeared at a Wilkes-Barre theatre. Un- doubtedly the knowledge that no children were to be allow- “ed to see the picture lured a great number of persons to the theatre. We have always admired the clear logic and directness of the child mind and we have reached the conclusion that the real reason children are barred is that they cannot be fooled by movie blurbs and oversexed stars as their elders ~_.are. - UNDER 16 CHILDREN Since the biginning of organized fire fighting, the fire station has always been a place of fascination to small boys. There’s hardly a man who doesn’t HANG AROUND - remember hanging about, staring at THE FIRE the glittering red monsters within DEPARTMENT —or, to go back a bit farther, the , stalwart horses — and perhaps venturing an occasional bashful word to the firemen. | It would be a good idea if adults did a bit of hanging around the fire station, too, not with the impassioned hero worship of the boy, but from a more critical standpoint. Any fire department, whether it serves a village or a metropolis, consists of but two factors — men and mach- ines. Everything depends on them. A successful fire department is simply an organization with a trained, in- telligent personnel commanding the best apparatus that the human mind and hand can create. To the small boy all fire engines look alike and if he ~ has any preference it’s for the biggest, most glittering one. The adult is too often in the same position. He can’t tell a piece of standard apparatus from an assembled one —an engine built as a by-product from one produced by a plant specializing in fire apparatus alone. And when he does find out the difference, it’s often too late — a piece of inferior apparatus has failed at the crucial moment and more property has been destroyed. So — do a little hanging aroun even if you are out of short pants. i d your fire department, > — ~~ C. O. Moser, President of the National Co-operative Council and Vice-President of the American Cotton Co-op- erative Association, recently pointed out Le FOUR tnat the prosperity of the farmer depends ~~ FARM upon four things: PROBLEMS 1. The cost of his production. 2. The volume of his production. 3. The price he obtains for what he produces. 4. The price he pays for what he buys. As Mr. Moser observed, the first two are largely the problems o fthe individual. The next two are mainly the problems of the farmer as a group. They are the reason- for-being of the co-operative movement. No singular farmer, dealing with a large buying or | selling organization, can have a voice in price. He mus. take what he is offered or lose the business. When he joins with thousands of other farmers whose problems and hopes are one with his, the shoe is on the other foot. The buying or selling organization has met its equal — and the price is much more likely to be a fair one. No co-operative, of course, can raise prices to the de- sired level in times like these. What they can do is to keep them higher than they would otherwise be and prepare the groundwork for ‘future achievements. All over the country the co-operative movement is making gains, both in strength and membership, and the results are beginning o show. When the economic clouds finally clear, and or- banized agriculture can be ready for a period of prosperity nprecedented in this century. ‘speedy recovery from his illness and | 146 We miss seeing James Waters about the postoffice and in his accustomed haunts about Dallas. Mr. Waters has been a familiar figure in and about Dallas for the past seventy years. For the past summer he hag.been confined to his home with chronic illness and for some months prior to that time he had not been in his usual good health. Mr. Waters usually kept us informed on how the fruit crop was coming long and not infrequently gave us proof that it was a gdod crop by bringing us apples and other fruit grown on his land. We wish him a hope to see him back in Dallas again soon. 3 Associated Press Poll Of College Presidents A poll of the college presidents re- ported by the Associated Press shows that the overwhelming majority tes- tify to the constructive value of pro- PAGE EE I mi The Dallas Post, SIFTINGS || Peems || Atthe Helm—InTime of Need!
