careful remove of newspapers would immediately identity its authorship. It In not improbable that thing like 20.000,000 sturdy Americans of all classes, including thousands of writers. believe that Arthur Brisbane is the greatest ed itorial writer of the present day. "Think. think, think is his slogan.

and his immense following is due to the fact that he can phrase his thoughts with such brevity and clarity that they are immediately understood by every one. Champion and exemplar of the square deal. Arthur Brisbane is the apostle of tomorrow, the prophet of a better time. Human nature, harassed, perplexed, accepts the Brigbane faith that the tomorrow of the race will be greater, finer, nobler. more bearable than it is today.

Every day, therefore, one- fifth of the newspaper reading population of the United States, consumes his editorials ag hungrily a8 it eats its bran or oatmeal and toast and eggs. Brisbane has an unequaled facilIty for simplifying complex material and making it attractive. For ample, if he wanted to "put over" a talk on hygiene and dietetics, he would entitle it "Pity Poor Moses: He Had No Icebox." His writings have achieved a reputation for the originality which attracts, the brilllancy which holds, the paradox which makes people think, and the bluntness which convinces. The adage: "Whatever 18 1s right," does not go with Brisbane. Whatever is isn't right, to him.

It can be, and should be, better. He 1s the highest priced editorial writer in the world. He wouldn't and couldn't be so high priced, if his clear and humanly attractive philosophy were not worth the money. We shall carry a column entitled: "This Week" by Arthur Brisbane. It will what its name implies thoughts inspired by the latest happenings and trends throughout the world, but more particularly, In America.

The feature will seize and hold you, greatly to your entertainment and profit. Millerstown Millerstown, Sept. 5. The Millers. town schools opened Monday with the following enrollment: Grades and 2, 34, Mrs.
