The Daily Democrat does not conduct a "matrimonial bureau column," but vc do contend that it does pay to advertise in the home paper, no natter what you advertise (or. Dylan. New York's democratic mayor, must be a pretty good sort of mayor, after all. The state senate hus voted to increase his salary from $15,000 to $25,000.

Mow Governor I’.oberlson of OklaLoma is indicted and charged with accepting bribes in connection with the state bank smash up in his state. It's getting so that the people do not know who to elect and govern them. It's funny that the representatives of the state tax board must travel over the state and tell the people what their property is worth. Who knows better than the farmers of Adams county what their land is worth and what it will produce? It seems this traveling about the state is one of the useless items of expense in the maintaining of our gm eminent. Unless the government interferes chances are that the strike of coal miners will take place April I. If it does come the people sincerely hope that it will not continue more than a week and even that length of time would have its bad effects on bust ness and what progress has been trade in the industrial field. Something should be done to avert the strike. It almost keeps the Washington correspondents busy keeping track of President Harding's vacation trips, but the latest information coming out of Washington is that the chief executive has fifty pairs of trousers, including golf knickers.

’ predicament if the pressing Iron happened to be too hot, giving the Sunday pair a scorching. p The Adams County Witness, offi- . dal organ for the republicans in this ' county, has the following to say: "The number of republicans who have announced (or the primaries is ( still very small, but these wise ones ! who predict there will be no race and I no candidates will awaken and find a , bunch of i republican candidates In i the field, who will be as strong as ; any the opposition can put up. There ( is a big race ahead of candidates > this tall and the primaries are the test in which the iapable will be chosen, while the poor limber is cast aside." When and where will the secret meeting be held at which candidates will be drafted to make the race in the coining republican primary? The Newberry case will not down. Townsend, of Michigan, and Frelinghuysen. of New Jersey, are both opposed for renomination on the ground that they voted to establish the prin-. ciple that a man could bribe the electorate and uublushiugly admit it and then sit in the senate, posing as the equal of men honestly chosen in the manner provided by the law. If these senators who voted for Newbury—accessories after the fact —should escape defeat in the primaries their chance to get by the general election will be exceedingly slender, for all good people of all parties will unite to rebuke them for their contempt for the proprieties and

- their abasement of the senate of the i United States. The seating of New i bury was the most damaging blow that has been struck at the root's of our system of government within a • generation. ■ - A SPORT SUMMARY Bogalusa, Ga. —Five home runs. , two by Baker and one by Ruth, didn't stop the Yanks from losing to St. Paul, 7 to G. Two of the Millers, Whalen and Gouzales, also hit four basers. New York —“Beat Babe Herman and I accept,” Johnny Kilbane wirelessed from mid-Atlantie in answer lo the $50,000 offer of the rink sporting club for a Kilbane-Pepper Martin match. New York —Morovich. wonder colt of 1921, will start in the Kentucky derby on May 13 instead of the Preakness Classic the same day at Recording to owner Benjamin Block. The "Preakness” is worth more but the "Derby” has the prestige, he said. San Antonio —Barnes and Benton, two rookie pitchers, hurled great ball and the Giants beat Indianapolis, 9 to 3. Snyder hit a homer. New York— Seventy-four court stars, including Frank T. Anderson, present indoor champion. Vincent Richards and Howard Voshell, are entered in the national indoor tennis championships starting here Saturday. New York—Harry Alberts and Jahuny Keyes have been barred permanently from acting as seconds by the New York state boxing commission because they engaged in a fight in the ring during the recent SeigerM artin bout. Avalon, Cal.—The Cubs broke camp today and left for Los Angeles Five weeks were spent here during which a stiff schedule was followed President Yeeck, who left yesterday for Los Angeles, expressed himself as well pleased with his men, particularly the young players. Seguin, Tex. —The White Sox 'began their journey north today. Manager Gleason announced before leaving that he would cut down the size of his squad at Dallas Saturday. Chicago—Milton Rohney, Maroon football captain, who faced inelligibility because he was too good a student and could graduate this spring, has quit the Midway university and will not return until next fall. He will complete his stodies then. It is unlikely that a decision into his status will be given by the athletic board until fall. > — Mr. and Mrs. harles Lose of 10th street have rented and will move soon into the Charley Colter bungalow on Winchester street, recently vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Clayson Carroll.

We are told that Sunday evening about ten or twelve young men from Monro>' i called on lady friends here in Berne A few weeks ago we are informed an equal number of Decatur boys made a pilgrimage on a like mission to our burg. A fair representation of Ge nova and Linn Grove lads are also re ported as Sunday visitors here, while quite a number of our boys made like calls to neighboring towns. It has been suggested that a “friendship ex change” be established among the various towns.—Berne Witness.

The People’s. Voice 1 •" 11 ' SOME FACTS I Tlie following from the ludiauapolis Star la interesting byway of the progressive American issue of the public schools: "Approximately 4300 of the SSOO one-room rural schools which at one time existed in Indiana have been abandoned and the pupils attending these schools sent to consolidated schools, according to E. B. Wctherow, State school inspector. In Randolph County, .which leads the state in consolidation all but live of the 131 oneroom schools which formerly existed have given way to modern consolidated schools, Mr. Wetherow pointed out Disadvantages Are Cited "The disadvantages which one encounters in a one-room school are like to disappear in the consolidated • school. Some of these are as follows: "Most of the one-room school buildings are old and dilapidated, poorly „ lighted, unevenly heated, poorly ven- [. tilated and almost invariably have int> decent toilets. In many such schools e the water supply is entirely lacking, c “Because of poor lighting, heating ( and ventilation, the health of the pue pits in many instances is impared. "The one-room school is very poorly n equipped for real school work. "The t one-room school has become a kind of i- training school for beginning teachers • and for this reason the pupils are poorly taught. In almost every one- room school P the teacher attempts to teach from six s to eight school grades in twenty-five to thirty-live recitations each day. The recitations necessarily are very short, some of them only five minutes'in length. The teachers only recourse I is to omit a number of recitations I each day, to the detriment of the pu- • pils.” The writer saw a school the other day not far from our county seat with fifteen pupils in it and thirty-two recitation peroids. It this either economy or wisdom? What social qualities does a c hild develop in a class by himself, or what active spirit of emulation and friendly vigorous contest is stimu lated thereby. Wil! not a child under these circumstances develop a slow . method of thought and sluggish action qualities which are not desired by any , one in business, profession or manual labor. i Teachers Avoid Small Schools “Teachers with experience and I training avoid the one-room school for - several reasons: (1) It is usually difficult to find satisfactory living conditions in the rural district: (2) the school building with its undesirable features is far rfom inviting: (3) there is more work to be done than any teacher can do successfully; (4) there is practically no assistance by supervision; (5) there are few teachers of the special subjects, such as music and art. ’ “The teaching of domestic science and agriculture is uot satisfactory., sometimes a waste of time. “The morale of the school is slow. One remedy which is sometimes sought is to move to the town or city or into a township which has a consolidated school. Many parents however. rather than dispose of their farms, are willing to i»y for the erection of a good consolidated school building, for transportation of their children, for adequate equipment and better teaching. BETTER EDUCATION • B- — ■ - Editor Democrat:—Lives of great men remind us—of what- That there is room at the top? That they had a better chance than the others, .that they were better at overcoming obstacles or that they had high ideals? Perhaps all. But they had to possess the latter. Wjhtout this standard it would have mattered little whether they graduated from a little red school house or a consolidated one. no one would have hear of them. I bpiieve the one-room school functioned well its time and was far from being a failure as attested to by the high ideals nurtured in the bosoms of its pupils. But this is a progressive age. It is the age of light and tentralizaltjon. It remains to be seen whether we have developed our ideal in regard to education or have buried this talent. What farmer would willingly return to the hoe to cultivate his corn or the cradle to cut his wheat? Childhood is a period of life as distinctive a sold age and it seems that the consolidated is the better equipped to teach the pupil during thijs impressionable stage and send Iri-m fpnh to do battle with a complex and insatiable civilization. This and roads has boosted our tax into the luxury clqss but if we want the bird we must take care of the. cage and it behoves us to exercise care in the appointment or election of caretakers. We must elect men. or wornien, with horse sense or in other words,

fgood judgment. A. over three-fifths I of the tax goes to the townships, t | depends considerably on you and me whether our tax levy goes up or down. A blind man is capable of figuring the trend of the levy in case we put in a 9 concrete road or two. If were all millionaires aud had been gorging ou the fat of the laud steadily for years then concrete roads would be alright, provided their maintainance and Interest would be no more than a similar stone road. And while ' 1 am upon the subject of roads, 1 wish I to speak of one thing called to my at- * tention. Farmers cannot get per- ' mission of the township supervisors ’ to haul rock on the road even the road they live on. Why? Because the I supervisor usually has a close friend or relation who does all the hauling , If the farmers could be allowed to haul rock on their road 1 believe mud holes and bad places would soon disappear. 4lt the farmers could cover the road with rock where needed there would not be so many roads content- “ ed to be rebuilt. The contractor , makes something ou his contract. Why not save this. Yours Respectfully.

DEMOCRAT WANT MS GET BESIIIi Gortley Junior. Boys ’ clothes with snap and wear At every point of hardest wear an invisible “patch" SL EEVES strained and “out” at the elbows — knickerbockers worn by sliding on banisters and cellar doors. No single thickness of the finest allwool material can stand that sort of wear. That is why Cortley Jr. Clothes have double thicknesses at the “danger points”—elbows, knees, the trousers’ seat. Made throughout of the sturdiest goods, and with these extra layers at the five points of greatest wear, Cortley Jr. Clothes are made to give consistently long service. It is never necessary to throw a Cortley suit away because one or two spots have broken through. Every part of each garment is adjusted in wear to every other. The whole suit not only has the snap and style that the boy appreciates, but also the manly, upstanding appearance that mothers look for. The printed guarantee in the pocket of every Cortley Jr. suit is vour assurance of satisfaction. Teeple &fPeterson
