THE MAN IN THE MASK Thugs using masks, pistols, sand bags and high powered automobiles, hired by dirty, slimy cowards who would not risk their own precious hides in physical encounter, should be driven out of the city. The cheap crooks who sit behind the scenes and send out their tools to perform their dirty work, should be apprehended and brought to justice. If a reign of terrorism is starting in Muncie, all red blooded citizens should arm themselves and start a real shooting match. The coward who covers his mug with a black mask is too dirty to live. Law and order is trembling on the -brink in Muncie. Unless the thugs who have begun to operate under cover of darkness are speedily brought to justice, the lives of citizens will not be safe. The present city administration is completely honeycombed and infested by a gang of spies who are not friendly with the administration. These double crossers, who profess to be friendly with Mayor Quick, and who are drawing money from the city which ought to be in the pay envelope of friends of the administration, should be kicked out without ceremony. Traitors in the camp offer great encouragement to the black mask brigade.

“BONUS NOISE” Tell me, what is all this noise— ’Bout a bonus for the boys ? I’ve got Soldier Bonus Blues, Readin’ Legislator’s views! Did you ever stop to think? They’d raise money quick as wink To elect a friend of theirs To the swell upholstered chairs. Sure they would, and millions too, Now they whine and fret and stew, And say the Treasury lacks the cash. Think we guys believe such trash? You can think just what you wish We are not a school of fish. Cut the comedy, we say, Give the boys the cash to-day.

The Star quoted the editor of the Post-Democrat as saying that Marion “gangsters” had followed him around in that city in ‘ two automobiles and that Marion men were suspected of having perpetrated the Friday night holdup. The Star used considerable poetical license in making that statement. We were not followed around in Marion by automobiles nor was the holdup pulled off by Marion “gangsters.” Muncie men wore the damnable black masks, and some profess to be friends. It will all come out in the wash.

Head of University of Illinois Gives Some Startling Facts for Your Consideration.

ANNEXED TO BRITAIN (Line ’o Type in Chicago Tribune) Senator Borah has discovered the secret pact between the United States and Great Britain. But you don’t know the half of it, dearie, you don’t know the half. Gamaliel made a contract that was signed before a justice of the peace at Alexandria, just outside of Washington, that the militia of Ohio should go to India to quell the uprising natives. If there were no uprising Lloyd George said he would start one. The administration arranged to let the Japanese army land in San Francisco on condition that it would capture Bill Hart. The Japs said that was carrying secret agreements too far, but Gamaliel stood firm and said thai if the Japs wouldn’t capture Bill Hart and carry him off he would have the San Francisco police arrest the Japanese army the minute it landed. California is to be sawed off from the rest of the union and towed over to Japan and Indiana and eastern Kentucky are to be annexed to the British Empire, but will be given home rule like Ireland.

BY EUGENE DAVENPORT Editor’s Note—Eugene Davenport, dean of the College of Agriculture, of the University of Illinois, (believes every word that he has written to be the exact truth. He is in close touch with agriculture conditions throughout the United States. He is also a man thoroughly familiar with the laws of domestic economy. His conclusions may not agree with what you believe but to many they will be a revelation.

RESULTS FAR REACHING Prices paid for farm products have been moving gradually to higher levels in recent months. This has been a recovery at the point where the slump in prices had been most pronounced. The improvement has been orderly and in response to natural laws. As the price advance has increased the buying power on the farm, it has had a far-reaching effect on the general industrial situation. Recent reports of the Federal Department of Commerce reflect the improvement that has come and sound a more hopeful and inspiring note. There is a quickening of business, there is more of confidence in the business. Because the better prices were developed gradually they give promise of permanency and herald the advent of still better conditions. Months ago business judgment was in agreement that general commodity prices must come down in a marked way to the low level reached by farm prices, or farm prices must be advanced. The prices were too far apart, so widely separated and out of harmony that business could not go ahead in a large way. Economists agreed farm prices were too low and that they should be advanced to a line in harmony with known conditions. Commodity prices in the country generally have shown some declines while farm products were advancing. It was a movement to a common meeting point where the solution of a big problem in industrial life would be reached. Because the movements have been normal there is promise of still better conditions that will bring more improvement to the business world. It is not a fevered or forced improvement, nor has it been rapid in development. There has been no reason for sharp aand severe changes in prices. Business is improving in a gradual way and conditions will be bettered in the same way. A gradual improvement is best for all interests. There is much of unemployment still to be found, but almost daily there are reports of mills and shops being reopened, or more men being put to work. The freedom from feverish conditions makes the movement more encouraging and makes the hopeful note sounded more welcome.—Ohio State Journal.

GERMANY’S AMBASSADOR The German government has appointed as ambassador to America Dr. Otto Ludwig Wiedfeldt and his arrival in the country will mark the final chapter in resumption of relationship between the countries. The appointment is one of highest importance, for Dr. Wiedfeldt is the first to represent the German republic here. His task is no small one, but the position he has held in Germany marks him as a man of unusual ability. He is not only a man of great wealth, but ranks high in the industrial world, has been managing director of the great Krupp organization and last but not least is a great diplomat. The appointment of such a man, shows the great importance in which the position is held by the German government.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Worldly goods obtained by trickery are seldom kept, their loss is two-fold. » The unselfish prosper, not fast, but substantially. The selfish will flourish for a time—great is their fall. Greed for the dollar is a bad creed; remember, your fellowman is human. We spend one-third of our lives at our business. It’s the personal interest you put in your business that makes business worth while. It’s the way you live that makes life worth living. —Courtesy of Adolph & Dungan, Louisville, Ky.

A great gulf has formed between the country and the town due to the fact that the price for farm products has dropped to the neighborhood of pre-war values while the prices of manufactured products, which the farmer normally will buy, have remained at war time levels or but slightly below. * The farmer has no means of increasing the prices of his output for it depends entirely upon the principle of supply and demand and the ability of his purchasers to pay. He has always depended upon Europe to handle the surplus, and the buying power of that people is growing gradually less month by month. In our own country, the unemployment of millions in anything like productive enterprise, and the double manning; of many essential industries, such as mining has forced the cost of production of non-agricul-tural goods entirely out of the farmei'‘s reach. While the famer is entirely dependent for prices jpjn the law of supply and demand and the ability of his buyers to pay, organized labor has claimed that it would surrender none of the advantages that it has gained during the war, and it is leaving no stone unturned to main the same price levels as heretofore, the argument being that the cost of living has not decreased. This argument ignores the fact that a very large element in the cost of production is the double manning of industries, as in mining and the very low efficiency in production, as in building; both of which overload production ‘with unnectessairy ebsts, even to such an extent that the laborer cannot himself buy his own product. The “Buyers” Strike. Conditions have become such that it now requires an acre of oats or a half acre of corn to pay one day’s labor of the mechanic. This being the case, the farmer cannot build buildings, or buy machinery or any other manufactured product not forced upon him by absolute necessity. Shoes are costing almost as much as in the war months, even though a dead animal is no longer worth skining. When this discrepancy became acute, the farmer was forced out of retail trade. What

happened was called a buyers’ strike. It was not a buyers’ strike, it was the practical exclusion of that third of our people who live by the land, and a good buying third it has always been. That third is now practically out of the markets and the amount of unemployed just about corresponds to what would be needed to supply the farmer’s trade if they could afford to buy. Viewed from another angle, it requires in normal times about one laborer to provide the goods which a farmer will consume. When the farmer is driven out of the markets, of CQuree the laborer which ordinarily supplies him is thrown out of employment, and that is what has now happened. It is rather marked coincidence that the number of men supposed to be out of employment is almost exactly the number of farmers on American farms. Is This a Remedy? There can be nothing like general prosperity until this fculf between the country and the town is either filled up or bridged over. The farmer is powerless because he has no means of increasing the price of his own product. The city must do it by foregoing undue speculations, by accepting a reasonable' wage, by being willing to work every day for a reasonable length of time, as the farmer Iocs, and by turning out a full day’s work for a full day’s pay. No other policy will bridge this gulf. No other policy will produce manufactured' Is at a price which anybody but a rLh man can afford to pay. When labor is engaged at the production of necessities at a cost which most men cannot meet, then something is wrong with our economic production, and that is the case now. The farmer can get along without the city, but the city cannot get along without the farmer, and the country as a whole cannot prosper until the city and the country work together. The key to the solution of this impossible situation is a better day’s work on the part of people generally engaged in the productive industries and a reversal of the policy to extprt as large a wage as possible for nominal time producing as little as possible during that time in order that the work may go around. The country has ignored this situation long enough. The time has come when the situation must be squarely faced and squarely met. Both production and transportation are now practically uder the control of organized labor, which is being badly led and by the same class of people which has attempted, though unsuccessfully, to gain control of farmers. As the matter stands today, farmers are going ahead producing for the world’s open markets; and until labor and capital are willing to do the same, this gulf between the country and the town will continue and will grow deeper and wider.

“Near to Every” Ghost is Becoming Active Again

Maybe It’s Just Because of Jealously Over Doings in Nova Scotia; Ohio Spook Over 50 Years Old

Milan, 0., March 30—Has the notoriety that the spook of the “haunted house” of Caledonia Mills, Nova Scotia, has been getting of late aroused jealousy on the part of the ghostly kin that—according to the talk of many years—has inhabited the “haunted house” a few miles northwest of Milan, near Ave'ry? Rut whether it has or has not the spook of the haunted house of this locality kept to itself until very recently, when, all of a sudden, it shocked the dwellers of its community with manifestations as of old. One night between 12 and 1 o’clock weird shrieks emanated from the old house and blue lights danced up and down before the long, paneless windows, it is said. The ghost of the near-to-Avery “haunted house” has been supreme in its field for more than fifty years. No one seems to know where it got its association with the place or how long it has been there. Old-timers tell you that the house was “ha’nted when I was a kid” and that they “always steered clear of it’’. “I’ve never believed much in spooks

but still I’ve never felt called upon to investigate.” said Win Bartow, who by reason of the fact that he is pretty well informed in matters generally and used to write the news of Milan and surroundings for the city newspapers. is looked upon mote or less as a highbrow. The near-to-Avery “haunted house’ is a big> 21-2-story brick structure that stands on the east of a hillock and was the abode of a farmer and his family until, in some long gone day—or night—the spook took possession, forcing them to flee. Every now and then some daring individual, attracted by the beautiful surroundings with the premises are enhanced, has made up his mind to “brave the spooks” and has moved into the house only to move out again, very often after attempting to spend a night there. The last person to live in the “haunted house” in apparent content was an old woman by the name of Root, who died there many years ago, according to the story told here. For years—until very recently—the ghost of the near to-Avery “haunted house” was quiet. Theu, all of a sudden, it became active again. And so the ft Iks are saying: “It’s probably jealous of the Nova Scotia ghost.”

Radio broadcasting of state department of market reports from the Ohio State University will not begin April 1, the date first set. University officials' are unable now to say when the service will start, but believe it will be soon. They think it best to await final rulings-of the Hoover radio conference recently called at Washington to prepare a code of control for voices in the air. Wave-lengths to which the new service will be tuned and such questions as the type of license which the sending station must take out may be determined by the report of the radio conference, it is stated. Electrical engineers of the university are buying the sending apparatus in parts and assembling it experimentally so as to get the most effective Transmission. Pro'essor Roy A. Brown, in charge of this work, says it progresses satisfactorily and that the proposed noon and rhid-afternoon reports, when finally put into the air, should easily reach evety point ip Ohio. The plan is to install receiving sets at county agents’ offices, located in the county seats of 85 of the 88 counties, and to relay the information from there to the farms by means of old-time wire telephones.

ACCOUNT KEEPING IS NECESSARY TO FARMER

Some Sort of Books Should Be Kept as in Any Other Business

The income tax lav/ made a good many farmers keep books and most of those who thus learned to keep books are glad this law was passed. There really isn’t any use of trying to farm without a set of accounts, even though they are reduced to their simplest forms. Accounts with each enterprise on the farm are hard t6 keep and not very valuable after they are done nor are they necessary to tell which part of the business is slipping. The fellow who has some sort of accounts eliminates profitless work just about as soon as he discovers it’s a losing game and his records are at once his compass and speedometer.

STORE BOUGHT STUFF By Aunt Aggie Farm folks ain’t like they was .When I was a growin’ gjirl; Seems like they ain’t satisfied With the steadiest job in the world. I reckon their heads got turned, With things movin’ on so fast; They’re mixed up in the traffic And got to move on with the rest. Not many of ’em now-days Figure on livin’ at home; They raise what they can market And leave the rest alone. You never hear of a grist-mill A-takin’ corn on exchange; It’s cash for wool an’ cotton An’ cows from oft’ the range. Meat ain’t served the family, Without the packer’s brand, And as fer fruit an’ vegetables They must be fact’ry canned. I reckon a farmer’s youngster Would choke on corn-meal mush. An’ wearin’ homespun dresses Would cause his wife to blush. Money’s right nice to handle An’ keep fer a day; It comes in finGy handy ■Fer luxv.A-.s an’ play; , But farms ain’t meant fer profit, On the town-store tradin’ plan; The surest way to save it Is livin’ off the land 1 .
