This community will make an effort next Mouday to convince officials of tlie Brotherhood of American Yeomen that this is the best spot on earth for the locution of their ten million dollar home. It is not assured by any means that we will be the fortunate city but it's worth the effort and we must do our very best. There are numerous arguments to be presented in fa vor of Decatur and Adams county which we believe will appeal. Plans for the big mass meeting to be hole Monday night are being repidly com pieted and indications are that tin event will be a most interesting one Visitors will explain in full their prop osition and a response will be givei from some fifty local organization while Messrs. Carmod.v and Quinn wilrepresent the community as a whole We know the entire populance isagreed that it would lie a fine thin? indeed to have the Y'eomen's hom< similar to Mooseheart located here and we know’ that everything withir reason will be done to secure it. Tin order does not ask financial aid, bui they do want cooperation, a healthy climate, drainage, railroad facilities and other things, all of which we hav* and which we should present in i most forceful manner. Your aid it requested by the committee in charge. Won't you give it? ss==s==? , THE DEATH OF MAYOR BOSSE:— I 1 Unreal as it seems Benjamin Bosse mayor of Evansville, chairman of the Democratic state committee, larges! t furniture manufacturer in the world leader in church work, one of th< great business men of the state, £• man's man is dead. The end came this morning after a few days battU against rheumatism and heart trouble The announcement will cause grea' sorrow among the thousands who knew and loved and admired him. N< man in the state had greater businessinterests, few have been so successful He was a member of the board of directors of more than thirty business institutions, including newspapers banks, manufacturing concerns and other corporations. He was a really great fellow for not only did he look after his large personal interests but he found time to do more public work than does the average man. He war three times elected mayor of his home city, Evansville; he was chairman of the democratic state committee; hi took an ective part in the management of the Lutheran church of which he was a faithful member; he did efficient war work, he was the most pub lie spirited man in Evansville and many lasting effects on his energy will stand as a monument to Jiis ideals He built parks, established clinics se cured hospitals, assisted educational institutions and did a hundred things for the good of his community and the aid of his fellow men. Ben Bosse was a great man and it is deeply regretted that his life has snapped just at the noontide. It again reminds us of the uncertainty of life. Though he had won many business and political battles and though every assistance was given him in this last contest for life the grim reaper won. Interest in physical education is , \ \ '*4* growing. All will agree that this attention to hygiene and physical training is an excellent thing. But it seems odd that so many should lay stress on physical culture merely as a means of prolonging life. The value of physical education in extending life is. after all, only incidental. It's real

1 merit is In making lire worth living. A general extension of the period of life is of Interest mainly to the actuary. More appealing to the average , man or woman is the new zest in life ' that comes from physical training and health culture. It Is less the desire to live longer than to live more fully that Is increasing the ranks of the physical culturists. A hearty appetite, a perfect digestion, a 100 per cent utilcien liver, a dear brain and a general physical exhilaration —given these as the reward of physical culture, no one worries much about the problem of life extension. HELD AT BERNE The Adams county high school Latin contest will be held at Berne Friday afternoon, beginning at 1 o’clock with C. O. Lehman, superintendent of the Berne school in charge Up to tlie present time three schools have entered, they being Linn Grove, Berne and Decatur. Miss Loreine Foster, teacher of Latin at the Pleasant Mills school has been chosen as the county judge, she to make out the questions which will be sent to SupL Lehman who in turn will return the manuscripts to her after the contest to be graded. The contest will last (probably for three hours, every class in the high schools to send the best boy and girl student. o Two hundred and forty-nine earth luake shocks were recorded in Chile luring 1920, according to a report jus! published by the national seismologiml service. POLITICAL AFFAIRS. Editor Democrat: —I told you some ' ime ago that I intended to support 1 he principles of Democracy with a ' atiouai zeal and surely there should ie no zeal uness it is rational. I just i danced over S. G. Blythe's idea of t he two political parties and have i given slight thought to a few of the I nany views of different writers. 1 ] want to call your attention to one over < whelming sentiment that has pemeat- < 3very nook «nd corner of the globe. t "Self Determination” has set the ( millions of India, Egypt, Australia, j 'hina, and all the America, Europe. - ind even Turkey on fire. The peoples ( if tlie earth are more unsettled right . c low than they were five years before j the world war. Bloody Turkey, with he blood of a murdered nation drip , sing from her fingers, backed by the ( Mohanicdan world and encouraged by , lirided civilization is slowly asserting herself again. She has England at ( hay now and is determined to smash he Serves treaty. Suppose the 1 larharians and semi-barbarian >eople of Asia, and northern Africa 1 f ihould sweep down over Europe when i ivery man's hand is against his broth:r. You say that it cannot be done s Statesmen, philosophers and business 8 non including chautauqua lecturers € old us that the financial interests 1 vould not tolerate a war on a large 1 scale. Israel and Judah continued 1 heir violations right in the face of 'ising Babylon, Syria Assyria. Egypt f mil the Roman empire. It took sev- 1 'ral centuries but that chosen people * Are scattered like dust before the * wind. They had a mission and did not I •ecognize it. We have a mission and * f we do not recognize it, do you sup- < lose that we will be able to stand up s before the onslaught of untold heathen I hordes without and false doctrines ( withni It took Rome three hundred vears to die and many other nations I lave stood for years, wavered and I mumbled and the places of their ’ burial are now always most invisible, < The seeds of death are always | .own, in selfishness, jealousy and Do you say that ( we are standing blameless when we j ’old the world by over seven million , majority strong that we would not e»- - er any entangling alliance, and then straight way joined, an assosiatiou of ( nations that left civilization humbled m Europe to such an extent that the European countries have to revise the Reveres treaty and re-establish the power of Turkey in regions that will illow her to continue her depredations against Christian nations? Are you sure that Russia, Germany and all middle Europe including the backbone of the rest of tlie world are going to lay down while we form blocs along industrial and predatory lines and fight like cats and dogs? Did you ever examine the Bacillus that are pausing these abnormal bumps on our body politics? There is the merchant bloc, the farmers bloc and the labor bloc. All of which are willing to knock off each other's block. Attar being used to forming Woes, our government leads in forming an international bloc in direct disregard of pre-election attitudes, forgetting the Monroe Doctrine and causing us to loose faith in the government and make us wonder how ■ many votes England his in the bloc.

GOVERNMENT BULLETIN 1 The following is interesting in the i light of present discussions here. It , camo in the mail this morning from ■ Washington to a reader of the Democrat and he thinks it shows the merits of the questions as viewed by your Uncle Sam, as well as the views of National Education Association, a great organization, which is not Influenced by petty nr partisan consider atioiis or localisms. A bibliography by the federal government of publications on consolidation atone consumes several pages and includes hundreds of uames of publications( more than we cared to take the time to count). It shows the extent of the public interest. Whereas, we believe that a stable prosperous nation is dependent upon n stable, prosperous and happy farm population, and that such a farm population can continue to exist only when adequate educational facilities are furnished to rural children, we your committee recommend the following as means to this desirable end: 1. That the State and county edn calionl forces shall be entirely divorc ed from all political party affiliation and control, and that educational lead ers shall be choeon, paid and retained in office only according to their educational merit; that the educational forces shall recognize it as their civic duty an educate the public to favor able consideration of this sane and businesslike policy. 2. (a) That all of our educational institutions, more particularly our teachers’ colleges, shall recognize it as their immediate duty to inspire, and train rural leaders to serve as principals of consolidated rural Bchools and county teacher-training classes; as industrial club leaders, county superintendents and supervisors of rural schols, and the like, for which virile, inspired and well equipped persons are needed; further, that such educational institutions shall recognise it as their duty to educate the rural public to demand trained leaders only. (b) The safety of society demands a new kind of rural school suited to the preparation of rural people for the new world situation. The present sup ply of prepared teachers in no sense equals the demand which should be made by rural people. We believe that normal schools and other teacher preparing institutions should immediately recognize their obligation—first, to train teachers for rural schools, and second, to create among rural people an ever increasing demand for prepar ed teachers. Normal schools have donmuch in recent years to recognize their obligation to the rural people but only a beginning has been made. To satisfy the real need at least one half of all students in attendance at normal schools should be preparing to teach in rural communities. All educational authorities, especially those preparing teachers owe it to the public to emphasize to prespective and active teachers the opportunities for public service rather than the opportunities for the individual which the profession of teaching offers. 3. That the office of County Super iuteudent of Schools be recognized as the key to rural educational efficiency. To this end that office Ehouid be endowed by law with those possibilities, powers, responsibilities and rewards which will challenge the best talent in the State and the Nation to aspire to, prepare for, enter and continue in the office of county suertendent of schools. That men of ability leave educational work for the law, medicine, politics or business because they are socially more respected or financially more profitable is ample proof of an unawakened public consciousness of the supreme importance of education and the relation of wise leadership to it. We must make educational leadership so attractive and so highly respected by those engaged in it that public shock if not reproach will attend the departure of a school niati from his work for some other business or profession. 4. It is the sense of this body that the one-teacher school as at present organized has outlived its usefulness The economic, social and educational situation in which it had its origin has passud. A new national aud world' order is upon us. Our farm people must understand many’ new sciences, labor with intricate scientific machinery and cooperate with economic agencies for the production apd distribution of agricultural specialties. They are now a part of a qiuch larger spcijl aud economic unit than they were iq » pioneer days and must be educated for

the new order of things. The present one-teacher school is iacapaule o( eatls fylns this new demandWe therefore recommend that every State enter enthusiastically into two campaigns for the improvement of rural schools. First—To eliminate as many onetoucher sc hois as possible through consolidation. Second —To simplify the course of study for the one-room school and to develop a class technique suited to it. To this end each State should conduct scientific experiments to develop a mi) tpns rueuiefhmmu putt onb|ui|no) Is impossible. Tha Stales should make it legally impossible for any but the most experienced and successful teachers to teach in one-room schools, a superior teacher may bo able to accomplish fairly satisfactory results in uoijupuosuoj ej.tq.w siooqjs uiopa-auo 5. In this time of financial depression It is essential to public welfare and especially to rural progress that there be on diinuinutiou of salaries for teachers. Teaching must be made and kept economically attractive if we are to secure and retain in tlie profession teachers of ability. 6. Units of taxation and administration are not yet ideal. Wo must continue to study those problems. Equality of child opportunity shall bo the gauge by which all administration shall he tested. All of the units of government have their responsibility and must yield their contribution not only according to Individual power but also according to general need. 7. Recent and reliable investigation has shown that technical supervision of rural schols may double Hie purchasing power of money invested in them. It is therefore the sense of your committee that professionally prepared sympathetic supervisors should be employed for the inspiration and assistance of all rural schools. The best returns upon the investment will be secured if the supervisory board does not exceed forty teachers. Ideal conditions w’ill demand still fewer teachers per supervisor. That these resolutions may be most effective in securing the results indicated by them, we respectfully request that the Bureau of Education mail copies of these resolutions to all superintendents of schools, State and county, to all normal school presidents and others. Respectfully Submitted, W. S. Dakin. Katherine M. Cook, Charles H. Watts, Guy A. Waldrip, H. W. Foght, M. S. Pittman, Chairman.

“T CONGRATULATE YOU,” writes •I a well-known physician, “on your new therapeutic yeast. I am sure it will be welcomed by the medical profession and by thousands of people who disliked eating such large quantities of fermentative baking yeast —as well as by countless others who sought in vain for any appreciable tonic benefits in many drug-laden and untested ‘vitamin* preparations.” This yeast supplies what modern foods lack Yeast Foam Tablets correct a serious deficiency in present day diet by supplying the essential vitamin which is found in many raw foods but which is completely eliminated, in many cases, by the time these same foods reach our table.
