We can do it boys—put this community on the map—gain an opportun ity to serve mankind in the greatest way possible—helping to save the children of tomorrow. But we must finish our case. So far we have presented our community. Now we must sell Indiana and must have the united support of the leaders of the state as well as the homesteads. Stiffen your backbone, smile and work and you will win. We enjoy the visits of men like Farmer, McKee, Erwin and Carter to our fair city. They are judging us in comparisons with the towns of the entire United States. It's good for us to have this contact and we bene- ' fit as a result. We are now among the fiVe best communities we believe and the joy of it is that we are lead ing. because of our get-together spirit and the fine ideals of our citizenship. Can you imagine any greater asset? There is another question which the president passed over rather lightly. The How of an Investor A man becomes an Investor because he possesses judgment, j foresight, thrift, the ability to deny himself when it is wise to practice self-denial. These qualities lead him to accumulate savings. The same ! judgment leads him to invest those savings, with a house of high integrity at the most favorable return he can secure. Our clientele is composed of fifty thousand such men who have never failed to receive seven per cent, annually on their investments with us. The R. L.

The proposed subsidy would go mostly to large passenger, mail-carrying ships, and go to them irrespective of the amount of cargo they carried. It will take much more than these to * constitute a merchant marine in any true meaning of the term. It is the tramp steamer, what Kipling calls "the little cargo boat,” that is the most important factor in the world- ' carrying trade. Some of the big lin- > ers would be useful in time of war as ' transports and naval auxiliaries, but much more than these is necessary to I make up a merchant marine. There are thus many things to be considered. The opposition is strong enough to insure that they will be considered.— Indianapolis News. Decatur can land the Yeomen home and school for children, we confidently believe if w e put up a finish fight. The locating committee and the board are deeply impressed with the sentiment expressed here and do not hesitate to say so, and after all that is the only big proposition in the entire problem. Any site can be beautified, millions of acres of productive soil can be found, but the community which furnishes the right kind of God-fear-ing, upright men and women of intelligence to help “carry on” in the great work and to assist the promoters in arriving at their ideals, is the one i which should have, and we believe will have the home. The labors of the committee nears the end but the big job is yet to be done. Decatur should not falter, should continue their efforts to convince the Brotheri hood of Yeomen of the facts we know, that this community is made up of the right kind of people, broad and thoughtful and helpful with the right attitude toward the children, a condition built through a hundred years of right living and inspired by our fathers. Writing in the Annalist, a publication devoted to a review of current economic, topics, H. A. Haring declares that there are too many coal mines and too many miners, too much waste and too much pricq. It is important for the commission named by the ' president to reflect uptep Mr. HardI ing's conclusions. The situation, as I the writer in the Annalist sees it, has brought about a definite restraint in production which has prevented the ■ successful operation in the coal mining industry of the forces of supply and demand. The coal mining and the coal miners’ problem seems to demand annual consideration at the hands of the American government. It has been a troublesome question which bobs up with regularity. Mr. Haring reveals an avenue for discussion. If our resources are opened to a greater extent than w e have need of at the present and our forces of industry are greater than occasion requires, an economic situation is produced, thereby, which at least is worthy of study and reflection. When the law of supply and demand is seriously affected, or as not infrequently happens, is abro-
