'\ ingly of the way tho reading public with avidity seizes upon the latest scandal news about people un- known to the reader personally. Car- lyle calls it the evidence of a small mind , and we think he is exactly right . Some metropolitan newspapers are the greatest offenders in the line , of . purveying this type 6f \ news \ to their readers , catering to the lower minds of the community by so doing. Legitimate information about on*i ' s ¦ neighbors , such as the erection of a new. .barn ,, the births , the marriages and deaths in , our own community are wholesome ' and aro outside of the realm of impertinent curiosity, which drew 1 the great Thomas * wrath. Those are the main items carried by coun- try \ weeklies , along with straight con- structive matter like the doings of tlie chamber of commerce and the other public bodies and officials, They do not . descend to tho tattling of private scandals , or at least when they do-one soon sees another newspaper for sale and another editor socking new fields. Carlylc ' s criticism does not concern many country weeklies. Thu smal l minds , completely empty, are more often found in the great cities than in the rural communities. .. . The department of agriculture is \ conducting tests to leant how lough i a piece of beefsteak may be. Wot b 't/pposcd there was only one dcgit-o ' --the to ugliest. Tho hope chest is with us yet; but it contains fewer embroidered dish towels. Jealousy is a green-eyed monster , but it.may turn one or both of your eyes black. . When a man leaves his wife she hasn 't lost half so much as she thinks she has. A . ' alab-lc government is oue in which the people will remain hitched.

That many of these cities arc full of unusually progressive people who ate ' working hard to improve living conditions. That they are much concerned over putting their \best foot forward. \ That they are devoting much time to the care and development of parks , to the paring, of streets , to the beau- tification of lawns , to the cutting of weeds nnd thc removal of unsightly objects , to the doing away with the backyard tin can and trash problem, That they are making their city pleasantly attractive. All this has much to do with making a contented and prosperous commun- ity. It presents a living effect on the outside world. (Copyright , 1327. ) Raiii VV/HEN I am sad and hear it rain, ** how- bitterly tin- drops com- plain and tell of grief and fear and pain. They come in singles and i:\ doubles to sympathizu with all my troubles , with all the rest of earth' s forlorn ones , with , all the sick and \ dead and gono ones. Tho sky in « mourning clouds appears , while every wintl brings to my cars the sound of i sobs as well as tears. When I am g lad ! and hear thc rain , how blithe it beats I upon the pane , with what a merry, j inud refrain. How cheerful is my I open fire , how brisk thc winds that tblow it hi gher; und not a gleam that i lights the place but shines on Hannah' s smiling face. What should I find to growl about with her shut in , thc world shut out. O when the farmer hears it rain , his views of it arc safe and sane. He welcomes all its juicy thuds • providing it is good for spuds. But if it floods his lower grounds he has excuse tor doleful sounds , excuse for snarling and for snorting, for kicking, cussing and cavorting. The lady with no washing out should calm- ly watch the rain drops spout. Antl I opine that any duffer who 1ms no , growing crops to suffer , no tender S torks not yet in feather , he should not growl about thc weather. The j rains that come he should be taking •ind not be always belK-achitur. —BOB i ADAMS. From The Peop le Further Denlnl of \Kldnup lng \ Kdltor , Pntehoi. 111* Advance I I received n clipping taken from a recent Issiiu of the Pntchogue Ad- vance to thu effect tlmt I hnvo licu.i accused of engineering the kidnap- ing of my son, Victor HnttiiKlla , who has up to the present been with Mr. nml Mrs. William Horn of Patchogue , L, I. Notwithstanding «ny motive of my . h'sirlng to kidnap tho boy, I am well iiwnro that he Is In snf( . hands and is well tuken care of. I have always , and still do, thought that the young- ster Is and hud been receiving the best possible euro nnd attention at tin; hands of my piireiits-in-lnw , and it would bc the lust thing in niy mind lo have hiin taken uwuy from such ideal surroundings . On the other hand , should 1 hnvo desired to hnvo my son with me hero In Detroit , there would bo no neces- sity of taking any underhanded meth- ods to accomplish this end , for I need only to make this desire known to my parents-in-law and they would hnvo had to accede to my wishes. However , I realize that it would be very unwise to take him avvny from tho excellent care he is receiving nt their hands and subject him to the many discomforts ho would necessar- ily undergo were he here without any maternal cure. , Whoever was responsible for cir- culating the statement that the allege d kidnaping attempt was sponsored by myself , that person is guilty of cither an error or of malicious slander. Al- though I have written severa l letters to my in-laws to the effect that I was going to take tho child itway fro m them, I stated clearl y in those lettcr. - that I would go to their home in per- son and request thc child in a straigh t- forward manner. *> Thc reason for my taking tho child the last time as mentioned in the ar- ticle was perfectly, obvious y thc child' s own mother refusetl to care for him and her parents were not in ' a po- sition to do so. I therefore took tin. child with me to insure his receiving somfc care. ¦• By their own request' , shortly afterwards , I brought the child back to my parents-in-law. At this writing I have no desire to take my son away from his present home , nor have I , in any way, been connected with any attempted kidnap- ing, / On the contrary, I shall be glad to do whatever I can -to assist you in apprehending or . locating the person or persons who attempted to kidnap thu boy. 'My ' object-in- writing-you this let- ter is . to correct any false impression that may ex'st-ip your, jnind regarding my so-called \ enBihceriiig \ :ibf:tfio kid naping attempt. I also wish to inform you- that I have not been near Patch- oggc since January 3rd , 1926 , nor have I been within five hundred miles of your city during that time. Fur- thermore, at . the time of thc alleged kidnaping I was in Detroit , Michigan , where I still am and have been since February 1st , 1026: My only reason for calling my parents-in-law. by long- distance telephone on Christmas Eve was to extend to them my greetings Upon the holiday. Not being able to reach them - on that occasion , I called again on New Year ' s Eve and spoke to my brother-in-law. t After wish- ing him and- the folks a Happy New Year , I asked how my son was , and- if he were still going to schoo). I did not , as stated , ask to what school he was going. . In justice to me , and to the prin- ciples of truth for which the Ameri- can newspaper adheres to , it would be only fair that you publish these facts in your paper , and in this manner correct all statements that may have been published in Patchogue newspa - pers in connection with this affair. Thanking you very sincerely for your courtesy in- this matter , X am Very truly yours , C. L. Battagiia.
