6REAT ON PROMISES, BUT SHORT ON PERFORpWiE
To;P. T,, Barnum, the famous showman, is credited the expression, "A 'sucker' is born every minute," and Judging' from
the number of victims of swindling get-rich-quick concerns in
Stark county the supply is in no danger of diminishing.
The title of "sucker" isn't one of elegance, but it is expressive,
and it means a fool eager to bite at the bait dangled before him
by professional gold-brick meu, oil'stock wildcats, mine promot-
A ers and real estate   agents.   These   glib-tongued ', individnals,
^ whose specialty's peddling toadstools and lemons, flood the mails
with literature telling af the wonderful fortunes to be made by
investing in the "Come-On Gold Mine," the "Big Gusher" in the
oil fields, or the thousands of acres in southwestern states where
the crops grow a few days after being planted.   As a matter of
fact you can't raise crops on the "farms" they advertise   for
i   sale, and you are going to go broke if you go there.
Another class of swindlers are the "blue-sky" stock peddlers.
They wax fat on the money of their victims. Their specialty is
selling stock in concerns that pay enormous dividends, and sad
to relate, a number of residents of northern Stark county have
lost large sums of money through dealing with these agents.
.Another trick of these fellows is to start a mortgage company
and then offer the public a high rate of interest on preferred
J slick. They get the money, invest it in automobiles, diamonds
and suppers for high-rollers. At these little suppers they laugh
heartily over the manner in which they have fleeced "the suckers," and they plan other raids^ on the pockets of the gullible
stock buyers.
Let us,look at the investment business -from 'a business
* standpoint. Do you think men would sell you stock in a concern
that is paying them large dividends? Not while your name
is what it is! They would float a loan among men whose business it is to finance such prosperous orgarazations., They go to
you because they would be KICKED OUT of the ttfficesflf;conservative finahciers.^ ' v
Bear this in mind:; If the new oil fields you read about are
producing oil tlie big companies w?'' gobble them up the minute
they hear about1 them. They have agents waiting and -watching
for such opportunities.
You cannot get something for nothing in this world, and
when you place your money in the hands of thieves yon -triO be
robbed. Millions of dollars are lost by persons eadi year because
they are looking for a high rate of interest.
The Sun holds no. brief for such substantial ocruoenm as The
Citizens' Building and Lean Company of Canton and Borth Canton, the Geo. D. Harter Bank of Canton, the North Canton Bank,
of the real estate men in this section of Stark county, but this
newspaper has this to say: If it has money to invest it will
take it to these banks or these men and let them ±eH ss what
to do. They will tell us th^tra$i;I t?h«r.■?*$ a<*yi?*8 us so that
in the years to come we will not be iri danger of goihjfj to $he

they will pay us good interest and GIVE US OUE" MONEY

Sirs':
In the article, "Recalls old days on
Portage Street" by U. Ream, which
says that Benjamin Lichty came to
N. Canton in 1833, is a lie. He came
here 25 years after that date. The
house was not MOVED to its present
location but was* BUILT there.
I most certainly resent such lies
as that. If U. Ream or anybody else
wants to write for a paper they'had
better find out the truth first.
Let this be the LAST TIME the
name Lichty is published in your
paper.
If any article containing the name
Lichty is sent in, BLOT out the
name.

The Public Schools of the United
States of America present the most
significant opportunity*, for causing a
great body oJLover, 100,000,000 people
to love and appreciate music, that' has
ever existed.
We have, here in America, a school
system which, although not perfect, is
yet the best organized scheme of public instruction that has ever been devised, and our schools are attended
by a larger proportion of our children,
than is the case in any other country.
For gemrine and far-reaching results in mask education, there is no
field more fertile than the elementary
schools. . Tbe reason is obvious: In
the elementary schools we have "all
the children of all the people." Therefore practically every home is reached.
Music is one subject that extends beyond the school room. If one member of the family is touched, the influence is4 most likely to be felt by
other members, of the family. It
plays a larger part in daily life than
all other arts or forms of recreation
combined. Children in the elementary
schools are. at their most impressionable age. Ideals are being formed and
standards are being set. The imagination is most easily aroused, and under proper direction, music may* become a vital force in every life. To
explain this force in music is a difficult think. We feel it, just as we
feel goodness but we cannot analyze
it.
Do we hear some one say fhat music
cannot be taught to every one—that
some are unable to learn it—Gladstone
said he firmly believed the so-called
un-musical people are simply the result of early neglect. If this is true,
all we need to do is to catch the
child early enough in life and begin his
training.
Music is not for' the few, it is for
all; even the greatest music should
be. brought within the reach of the
simplest home. This can only be done
by teaching it in the public schools.
Children are instinctively rhythmic.
They feel the response of their own
organism, viz. the step and the heart
beat. They delight in jingles and
rhymes, for the pleasure of the
"rhyme.',?" .
If properly cultivated this instinctive
equipment could be turned toward a
love of tlie beautiful, which would be
a..source, of joy and uplift throughout
all life. *-
If music could present no other
claim than that of its power to bring
joy and buoyancy into the child's life,
it should be readily accepted as a tre-
mentluous impetus to mental and phys- j
ical activity.
ting forth its merits iq such vague
terms as that it creates a love for the
beautiful'and produces desirable emotional reactions, it makes a bid for a
place in. the curriculum because of its
value as a "leisure occupation" and
for its marvelous ^>ower as a medium
for group expression and a social
force.
We have placed in our educational
system a tremendous emphasis upon j
vocational training. It is not of quite
as much importance to train children
and young people for the "leisure
hours" of after life as it is to train
them "to desirable and suitable types
of labor^
All effective education is both living and preparation for living; it functions both during and after the process.
Singing- in the 'grades should mean
not only enjoyable music there, but
enjoyable music in the high school.
Likewise, the results of proper singing in the high school does not appear
when the school is life behind, but
continues in the lives of the students
as they mingle in the larger activities
of the community.
If education is preparation for complete - living, then the-i awakening . of
the tonal^and rhythmic sense in childhood is a vital element in' education.
If education is a training of the head,
the hand, and the heart, then to omit
one of the most potent agencies for
their combined evolutions is unthinkable. The musical birthright of every
child must be protected and provisions
made for the fundamental training
which makes possible the enjoyment
of the priceless contributions which
music makes toward complete living.
I Am Music
Servant and master am I ^servant
of those dead, and master of those
living. Through me spirits immortal
speak the message that makes the
world weep, and laugh and wonder,
and worship. I tell the story of live,
the story of hate, the story that saves
and the story that damns. I am the
incense upon which prayers float to
Heaven. I am the smoke which palls
over the field of battle where men lie
dying with me on their lips.
I am close to the marriage altar,
and when the graves open I stand near
by. I call the wanderer home, I rescue
the soul from the depths. 1 open the
lips of lovers, and through me the
dead whispers to the living. "
One I serve as I serve all; and the
liinq: I make my slave as easily as I
subject his slave. I speak through
the birds of the air, the insects of the
field, the crash of waters on rock-
ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in
the trees, and I am even heard by the
soul that knows me in *he clatter of
wheels on city streets.
I know no brother, yet all men are
my brother. I am the father of the
best that is in them, and they are
lathers of the best that is in me. I
am of them, and they are of me. For
I aril the instruments of God. I AM
MUSIC.
PLAY SANTA CLAUS
TO DISABLED VETS
There was genuine appreciation in
the faces of an audience that filled
the Zion Reformed church, North
Canton, on Sunday night, when the
Women's Missionary society and the
Young Women's Missionary auxiliary
put on playlets that drove home the
-^3p|t»oints it was intended to convey.
The recitations, too, were given in
a clear voice and the singing of the
choir was up to the usual high stand-
ardof the church.
