"It is a bit queerer than that, I think it is six men going to ask one man what they mean." This, which is a quotation from THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY, Gil- bert K. Chesterton's masterpiece, ex- presses exactly the feeling among that paltry percentage of the world's popu- lace who read the books of the mod- ern Falstaff. After you have read ob- scurity after obscurity piled into ice- bergs of phrases and glaciers of para- graphs, you cease wondering what the author means and tremble for your own intejligenoe. ___ __ ......._ ._ . It is rare when the reader can pin Chesterton down to a fact. A smoke screen of worlds constantly decreases the visibility of his meaning, his simi- lies and liis ^wering pai^aflSte^^h^ chapters consisting simply of symbol- ism legible only to himself, all these surely must have some meaning but. to the reader they are less than unin- tellgible. In THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH Mr. Chesterton creates a be* ing around about a super-detective. Father Brown and Sunday were inno- cent children compared to the omnip- otent, omniscient Home Fisher. Fish- er does not deduct, he does not rea- son, he knows. His mission in life i^_to^bolster„up-the English aristoe- racy to protect tMm from the penal- ties that would accrue to lesser men for their murders, assaults, and lar- cenies. *_ Mr. Chesterton carefully shows us the seamy side of high politics and then scans each "seam for what animal life the trench warfare of ballots may have left. However, instead of the usual vermin that politics breed, Gil- bert finds strange wingless butterflies. He would have us believe that a Prime Minister commits glorious murders •whereas we know that the greatest crime such a man is capable of is re- ceiving or giving an indifferent bribe.

It is all trick stuff but, it is mostly magic and en- tirely irrational. He has a style to make one forget the world and he has all imagination that bursts like a bubble when it hits the sunheat of facts. You may feel that I have an animus against Mr. Chesterton and I plead guilty. The natural animus of any protestant who sees a man's God turn into Moloch and devour his brains. Besides no writer of our day, with the possible exception of Owen Wister has more prejudices and is such a bigoted blighter as Gilbert. He would be denied admission into the Klan not because he is a Catholic but because his prejudices would -bek too Catholic for even the dark Empire. It is sad to see such a Niagara of talent turned aside to drive the nar- row turbines of bigotry. Priest and magician, prophet and playboy, or let us say, Hamlet turned crusader and altogether mad.

He did this convincingly by an investiga- tion along novel lines which showed some surprising results. In order to get an idea of rela the size of the farm was consid ered, alsp the average distances from town. One subscriber who was farming 160 acres and living five and one-half miles from town was selected; another who was farming 320 acres, living fou» miles from town; a third who was farming 960 acres, living seven miles from town. Unique Test Made Arrangements, were made to have these three subscribers keep track of all of their calls^for a period of thirty days, entering them in books furnished by the company for that purpose. These books were ruled to permit the recording uf the dale, the call, NOTICE Proposals will be received at the office of the Village Clerk of the Village of Gross Point until noon on the 4th day of April, 1923, for the purchase of any interest which the Village of Gross Point ____ may have in and to the following deâ€"-----wouid have been made to the tele scribed property, to-wit: Lots five (5) and six (6) In Block seven (7) of Seger's Subdivision of the North- east quarter of the Northwest quarter, ex- cept the East two (2) aeres of the North one hundred fifteen (115) feet thereof, in Section thirty-three (33), Township forty- two (42) North, Range 13 East*of the Third Principal Meridian, in Cook Coun- ty, Illinois, together with all the build- ings and improvements thereon. Bids will be opened at a regular meet- ing of the Board of Trustees to be held on the 4th day of April, 1923, at 8 o'clock. The Village HalL. Is located'on said premises and was used by the Village in the conduct of Its business, "hut it Is the telephone number called, and a notation as to whether it was a social or business call. The day was of no particular value, except as a matter of rec- ord. The telephone number was very necessary, as it was from that the company got the distance In order that business calls only might be considerecQt was neces sary that calls be classified into business and social, ^^^y The subscribers were requested to register in the business column only those calls* where a trip phone number called, had they hot had a telephone. All other calls were to be placed in the column headed "social calls." On examining the records at the expiration of thirty days, it was found that subscriber No. 1, farm- ing 160 acres, had a total of thir- ty-nine business calls and twenty- two social calls. Subscriber No. 2 had seventy business calls and fifeen social calls. Subscriber No. 3 had a total of ninety-one business calls and sixty-one social calls. As previously mentioned, the purpose of determining value of the telephone to farmer, no value was placed on social calls. Neither were they considered in this report, although they have a value, no one can deny........__. . â€"......._ In order to determine the sav- ing to the farmer in time and traveling expenses it was neces- sary to arrive at a cost per mile, which should include both of these items and at the same time be made low enough so as to not permit any argument as to its being too high. Finally the com- -pany dechjgd_to^use_the very low tigure oT five~centl_per mile and up to the present time no one has said that the jgure was too high.â€"= Result Was Surprising The final result was a surprise to everyone concerned as it was much greater, than anyone ex- pected. It made the farmer's-Sideâ€"- of the case look like a profiteer several times magnified in com- parison to the company's little monthly rate which was the pur- jL. chase price of traveling expenses saved for thirty days for these three particular subscribers. And these were no different from the company's other rural subscribers under like circumstances. Subocriber No. 1, farming 160 acres, had thirty-nine business calls which produced a mileage one way only of 153 miles, com- " puted at five cents per mile, amounted to $7.55. Subscriber No. 2, farming 320 acres, had ; seventy business calls with a mile- ';: age one way of 216 miles, which ,; comyputedi^ijjffi-centa- toTIOTMT^Subscriber No. 3, farm- ing 960 acres, had ninety-one busi- ness calls with a mileage one way of 444 miles, which computed at five cents amounted to $22.20. ' It will be noted that the actual -dollars and cents saved to the farmer in time and traveling ex- penses on business calls is the only thing considered in arriving .at these figures. Furthermore, that the mileage is only figured one way and not on a round-trip basis, because if a person had no telephone and had to make these trips personally, he would perhaps make several calls in one neigh- borhood on one trip. For that reason the mileage on the tele- phone calls was figured only one way. â- '^.-V'-sirrS ^IIIINIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllHIIM SATURDAY, FEB. 3rd Is The Last Day of Our """ EXTENSIVE SHOEUSALE Come in and look over our stock oF^xTraordinary^values^ _ This Ordinance shall be in force ana effect from and atter Its passage, ap» *B&Kl?- a1^APPROVED BY the President and Boawi-of Trustees of said Village of Gross Point on the 3rd _day Of January, JjgS^ ^ SCHNEIDER, ._ Village Clerk. tM?p; Z^RAFALSKI, ^rop. ^3ay by day his epigrams are getting better and better. -Now don't misunderstand ine.
