If the Yeomen lodge here had a thousand members they would be in much better form to attract recognition and why not have it? Its a tine order and the insurance is old line in policy and worth the money. It is reported that a number of leading actresses of the country are planning to leave the stage to enter politics. They ought to be right at hme and if they have any thing on Beveridge and bis vine clad cottage they will have no trouble getting some where. Every committee chairman for Yeoman day should be at the meeting at the Industrial rooms this evening. We are going to plan a day which will make history for this city and will surprise the distinguished guests including the directors and officers of the national organization. We can only succeed by the cooperation of our citizens and each should gladly do his part. If we don't believe in the great underlying proposition of the efforts of the Yeomen to provide a home and school and college for the orphan boys and girls which will make them splendid citizens of this country, equipped to go out into the world and take a real part, we will have no chance to land the home for it will be located where that spirit prevails. Get that into your mind first and the work will be easier and a greater pleasure.

Autoists cannot use too much care in driving, especially in the city but it should also be suggested that pedestrians and children should be careful. Frequently a crowd of children, playing in the street dash across in front of a car, throw at it or do something else which distracts attention of the driver and which might cause a serious accident. Lets all be just as careful as we can that accidents may be avoided. Some things are hard to understand. By a majority of seven million votes Warren G. Harding was elected president on a platform and policy opposing the league of nations and its plan to help the world. The other day this same Warren G., speaking at Concord, Ohio, declared In a loud voice "It is up to the people of America not only to tranquilize themselves and get back on the right track, but to point the way to the ' world and help get it on its feet 1 again.' Alright change the name of the league and go ahead. Do something and do it quick or admit that the irreconcilibles in the senate won’t permit it.

When the coal strike started we were assured from Washington that It could not possibly seriously affect either the price or supply of that commodity. Now we reach tho crisis. The supply has dwindled to almost nothing, the strike is still on, the price is advancing rapidly and the future is dark and uncertain. Within two months frost will be at hand and in ninety days you will need fuel. Committees are still investigating and congress is enjoying a six weeks' va cation while the senate is discussing whether the primary is a good thing or not. Isn't it about time that we Wake up and get busy, quit kidding around and playing rotten politics

and do some thing for the people who form this great republic? It is. ■ . " Des Moines, present headquarters of the National Brotherhood of American Yeomen has awakened to the fact that this order will expend ten or fifteen million dollars for a school and home and has decided that they want it. The fact that four thousand members will meet there this week to discuss plans he.s caused them to get busy. Os course they want It. Every live town or city in the I’nitcl States wants it. Most of them want it because they think it will help their city. We want it because we would like to help the great cause. There is a difference and those in charge of the location know and realise that better than any one. We should further Impress that fact in our August meeting.

Germany is passing through area

crisis, bordering on a financial and economic collapse and while there are those thoughtless enough to get satisfaction from such a catastrophe, the best thinkers of the world are willing to give any assistance which will prevent it. If Germany breaks those countries to whom they are indebted will probably do likewise. It’s the old story so much discussed during the past four years but without any real effort being made to prevent this climax. Don’t fool yourself for a moment. When the nations of Europe become bankrupt this nation will suffer. We are having a taste of it right now and we will probably realize more and more as time goes on just what a mistake we made by not immediately turning to the assistance of the stricken countries when the ■war was over.

PRESIDENT OF THE ADAMS COUNTY FARM BUREAU SAYS BACK TO FARM DRIVE NEEDED The following editorial written by Mr. David J. Schwartz, president of the Adams County Farm Bureau, appeared in today’s issue of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, and no doubt will prove to be interesting to many read ers: Berne, Ind., July 8. Editor Journal-Gazette: In two recent issues of your valued paper you carried articles on the agricultural page by Mr. Paul Wilkie regarding general farm conditions and the drift to the city. I prize Mr. Wilkie's personal friendship highly and but for the tragedy involved I should certainly hesitate to challenge any idea advanced by him. but any proposition that offers an apology for the present cityward trend is absurd. The more young men and women that desert the farm the greater will be the discrepency between the city and the rural communities. While we have been talking about unemployment the farmer has been compelled to get along and work harder and longer hours all the time, with only a scant livelihood as his reward. It does seem ironical to talk about

over-production in a hungry and naked world. It is not over -produc tion that we are and have been suf sering from at all, but faulty distribution, underpayment of farm labor and the drainage of rural communi-ties-of both men and money I What we need in America today is education along farm lines. Where are we going to find recruits to man this profession that dwarfs all other sciences into pygmies? It requires more education and more preparation to be a "real” farmer of the future than any other profession. The ideal home of tile future will be on the farm and not in the city, if wo do our duty, and what we need above all other popular movements Is a real, live, energetic drive, "Back to the Farm.” DAVID SCHWARTZ President Adams County Farm Bureau

Guaranteed by Zx FILM CENSORS IN LONDON Ixmdon (By Mail to United Press)— Ixmdon’s super drug-film ‘‘Cocaine,’ has l»een banned. Film censors viewed it. wrinkled disapproving eyebrows, and gave it the gate. They felt that in view of the recent vice splurge, the dope picture had best remain unshown. Film banning occupies a band of dismal antediluvians seven hours a day. The rest of the time they playgolf, in order to quicken their eyesight. Among the things which they must ban on sight are: Drunkenness. Vice. Too much leg. "Snappy” dresses. Irreverence. Bedroom scenes of doubtful quality. Realistic murders. Crucifixions. Guillotinings and executions with blood ad lib. Impropriety of action. RESOLUTION OF RESPECT Whereas, It has pleased an Al mighty.
