THAT’S RIGHT IT’S INDECENT:— Albert J. Beveridge is an candidate for the republican senatorial nomination and in a speech at Kokomo last evening he spoke the following truth in answer to Senator New's off hand declination to agree to a moderate expenditure of compaign expenses which ■would prevent a Newberry scandel in this state: Day before yesterday scores of thousands of Indiana men and women painfully made out and mailed their income tax returns. Thousands of them had to hire lawyers of “income tax experts” to help them. Perhaps not one of these man and women had a much income as the year before —or. at least, so few of them as to emphasize the general decline of incomes of ail kinds. There will be a big falling off of the income tax because most people have little or nothing to show for their year's business or labor. No more vital economic problem, ever confronted a people, or challeng ed the resourcefulness of statemen than that of taxation, which today perplexes and burdens and grinds the patient and hard working men and women of the United States. It will be difficut for tons of thou sands of Indiana citizens topay their taxes at all; and thousands will have to borrow money to do so. The bit ter cry for economy in government rises from every home in the land — and that cry is justified. The desire of the people for an elemental change in fiscal legislation is rising to the pitch of a demand. At such a time, when business is suffering, most working men, hardpressed to live, and farmers exhausted and desperate, it is incredible that tens of thousands of dollars should be spent merely to secure a party nomination for United States Senator. Under the circumstances, it is not only incredible, but indecent! There are people who always complain about the times. Even in the flush period of 1920 these could be found. The only difference now is that there are more than usual but have you stopped to consider that a good many people made money in 1921 even when most of us were growling It's so of course or the government would not have received two billion dollars for income taxes which though about half of the year before shows that the huetier got by even last year. Most of those who won used printers ink and plenty of it and you can do the same this year but you can't do it Bitting around pitying yourself. Get out and hustle. It will require more of that than usual but it can be done. The Hon. Samuel Ralston opened his compaign for the senatorship at Muncie last night, and the many who heard him were pleased with his state- - MAN WANTED Good Opportunity For Industrious Hard Worker We want a man to sell lubricating oils to consumers in this locality.

Daniel Simms will soon express himself publicly aud his expressions will likewise be to the point. The campaign is on and will continue until next November. Did you make your income tux report? The limit is up except for corcorations which were granted an extension of time. Those few who had to pay Income revenue this year are groaning louder than usual for they will have to borrow the money to do it for the profits are in most cases not in cash, but brighter days are coming we hope when we can ail pay income taxes and smile.

PROMPT I WON’T GRIPE Dr. Kinffs Pills WOMEN AND MEDICINE In Europe, years ago, a woman named Hildegard© wrote a notable book on medicinal plants. In those days the men were too busy bothering about donias of religion and medicine, and the study of herbs was thought beneath their notice. It was the women, however, who mostly conducted the hospitals and cared for the sick, and thus they learned much of great value. They let the men fight out the questions of theories. Lydia E. Pinkham, did then, and does now, relieve the ailments peculiar to women. It is a vegetable compound and of great value for this purpose. This is proven day after day, and in your own neighborhood, by grateful women who have used it. — - • Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sutton have returned from Ft.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking ene small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.

The People’s Voice SCHOOLS The district school played its part —a very important and necessary part in the history of this country. It rendered its service well but thfe progress of the last thirty years shows that it has outlived its day of usefulness. We have made mor® rapid progress in the industries anfl the professions than in the schools. Our present economic and civic relations are demanding more in the way of preparation of our children than a mere elementary school course provides, even though the elementary course does offer the fundamental tools of better education. The point is made that the three R’s are essential. Nobody denies it but is this enough? Statistics and abundant stHrveyp to other states show that now-a-days the eighth grade child is not properly prepared to meet the tests of our complex political and conomic organization. The state of Indiana will soon have available a survey which may bear on this topic. It it is in accord with results in other states it will show how much quicker and better thfe children attain certain standards ill the graded or consolidated schools than in the one-teacher school. Let us wait and see. Does anyone maintain that children will do better in a school where one teacher tries to teach eight grades than in a school where a teacher devotes all her time and energy to two grades? Every one knows that they do not. Educational experts, investigators and teachers all over this broad land are of the same opinion as to the desirability and efficiency of proper graduation and division of labor in the consolidated and graded schools but it is not the popular one at first because the average farmer is not thoroughly informed as to the problems and best methods and psychology in teaching. No one would object to proper consolidation of schools if he knew thoroughly all the and experience shows that where consolidation has been properly established the vast major ity of the people are pleased and satisfied. The results of a questionnaire submitted to the farmers aud patrons of the Randolph county schools by Supt. O. H. Greist of Winchester are herewith expended. Consolidation is growing rapidly and a movement, so utterly wrong as some of our frients would have us believe, would not endure in Indiana from 1890 until now. There are approximately 2,000,000 pupils in the United States now transported from abandoned schools to central ones but more will be said along this line later. Let us not refer to those who do not agree with us as “flannel mouth nomads” as there is no argument in such procedure. We clip from the Indianapolis Star of January 24, 1922. May we '|reqommeind that all patrons intenested read in connection therewith. The Country Gentleman. Review of Reviews and Ahe farm papers. Our educators are not the ones who are responsible for the exteni sive scope of the school course. 1 Everything seems to be added as additional duty of the school. This has come about largely through the ' requirements of our present day economic Remands Jind, partly through legislative action. Continually more and more is added on to the duties of the schools until finally the teachers are cutting off of the daily program as fast as the public adds new functions and duties. No one, however scholarly, can do properly and satisfactorily to himself or others, the work of the district school because no physical constitution could endure and time makes it a physical impossibility. This movement for better gradation and consolidation has come about through the effort to give the rural children better school advantages to which they are justly entitled. Our educators and teachers no doubt, would gladly side step some of the additional work thrust upon the schools. Signed—Favorable Education (This article to be finished in subsequent issues.) KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES To the Editor Decatur Democrat: — The community meeting of Blue Creek » township at Ripley school Monday evening, march 13, was well attended. The capacity of school room was absolutely inadequate as many stood during the entire evening. The orchestra from the Jefferson township Consolidated school furnished the music for the evening. The orchestra ha? been under training less than five months and it is surely wonderful what has been done in that length of time with those high school boys and girls. Several of the pupils gave very interesting readings and Miss Katherine Glendenning used the Victrola in her work of music appreciation. Mr. Whiteman, principal of the

school gave a most interesting talk on the advantages of Consolidation. He is surely the man for the place and wonderfully well adopted to the work needed in rural life and community organisation. He said that ’ dozens of people visit them each week” and he extended a most hearty Invitation to the people of this township to visit . them and see for themselves. The , pupils were brought in trucks, and all , deported themselves in a manner cred , liable to themselves, teachers and principal. That is what high school makes out of boys and girls manly boys and very womanly girls. If sc®’ Ing what can be done in less than a year—less than eight months is believing, just go over and visit this school. Supt. E. S. Christen was present and gave a most interesting talk on consolidation and disadvantages of the one-room school. He said: The oneroom school belongs to the days of the oxcart, and the hand sickle and pioneer life and days. Then he turned to the program on board used by present teachers of the school and said, which farmer could take five minutes to curry a horse, five minutes to harness him, five minutes to milk the cows and three minutes to feed the hogs and two minutes to drive the geese to water and so on his work of entire day limited to three, five and ten minutes. He asked one farmer, what lig would do if he were so limited. He said: “I would go crazy.” Supt. Christen showed that the farmers gave more attention to their stock and fine barns than to their children and the improved methods of education. Adams county should be proud that they have a Supt. who is really and truly interested in the welfare of their children. Mr. Christen advocated th© neces-1 sity of consolidation sometime and no , more building of the one cylinderj schools. A very plain building, no j money wasted in fancy roofs, plain | buildings and good equipment. He urged the necessity of the usual train-! ing showing the application, by saying “that when a boy goes through such I a course.he knows how to make a real farm gate, instead of studying up , a wire for a gate. Some of the splendid work done in manual training, dept, of the Jefferson township consol-1 idated school was exhibited. Mr. . Christen also showed that Consolidation is coming and fills the need of I the times. If every thing was done as It was fifty years ago—stagnation which is death —will be the result. The men in Jefferson township we were told hy Mr. Whiteman donated their time to help build their consolidated school and are still doing so. I When they found they needed a building for athletics and manual training they met in their auditorium and threshed out the problem and decided to move a vacated school house to the grounds of the centralized school. I This is the spirit that makes a good community, not sitting around throw-j ing mud on all advanced thought and work. This school will be come the social and religious center of the township.—“BOOSTEß” *—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—*—*—* CROUP Spasmodic Croup is frequently relieved by one application of— VICKS ▼ Va po Rub Oixr 17 Million Jan Used Yearly
