I If this is a sample of what we may expect the next five months or so, we will have no difficulty in keeping reasonably “cool with Coolidge.” j Some how we have the hunch that we’re all going to be glad to see spring come. Todays morning exer-' else with the snow shovel was the 1 first one and some body who claims* to know says there will be eighteen more of them. Records at. Washington show.that' 1 i the total cost of state government for Indiana, including interest ami j expenses, for the year which ended 1 September 30th was $29,621,168. In ’ 1917 the cost was $12,703,909. The' per capita cost this year was $9.85 while in 1917 it was $4.43. We don't , like to throw it up to you folks who s voted for a continuation of this kind 1 of management but we do feel you ' II ought to know exactly just what you I are approving and supporting. And 1 , I now they will soon meet in another legislative session and if they don't spend fifty million more it will be surprising. The only trouble is that' every body has to suffer along with those who deserve it. Ben Berber, a progressive farmer, of French township, is the first Ad-! ams county citizen to take advantage of the opportunity to secure a reduced valuation of his timber land, by agreeing as provided under the acts of 1921 to retain fifteen acres now in woods, for a period of twenty years. In appreciation of that effort to reforest the country the stat” authorizes that his valuation on the woodland acres be reduced/to one dollar per acre. Several others in this county have made inquiry and one or two have had the survey made with the expectation of coming in as “forest plantations." It is a sensible thing to do if you expect to retain Nie, woods as it saves in taxes and helps in a much needed effort. A widow in Syracuse, N. Y., is awarded a verdict of $1,500 against a cafb keeper who is accused of selling her husband liquor. After drinking the liquor, the husband went out thtd killed himself, which is no uncommon result of imbibing current alcoholic beverages. This is said to be the third verdict of the kind returned in Syracuse in the last two years, under a state law which makes liquor salesmen responsible for the acts of purchasers. It may be an unwarranted invasion of the saetpd rights of bootleggers; but if such a law were generally adopted and enforced, it would add mightily to the efficacy of prohibition.—Goshen NewsTimes.

/ Face to Face r With r JAMES A. FARRELL r, - .... President United States Steel Corporation * On board a steamer returning to j America in 1911 James A. Farrell secured some newspapers received ) aboard at quarantine. He settled s]down to read about the home folks ) and fellow passengers came to him ) with congratulations. He had been 1 elected president of the United States t Steel Corporation and had not had time to read the news. In charge of the import business of the United States Steel Company, he had spent much time aboard building up steel business.

The (father was lost at sea with his ship I and young James Farrell went to I work in a steel wire mill at the age! of sixteen. Beginning as a laborer in the Pittsburgh wire mill, he was rapidly advanced to superintendent and was not old enough to vote when he was manager of the Oliver Iron and Steel i I Company. Starting out on his own I initiative, he organized a wire com- I pany at Braddock, Pa., which attracted the attention of the late James. W. Gates. It became a part of the American Steel and Wire Company. |' Young Farrell became in charge of 1 the export trade because he was con-.' sidered a premier salesman of steel ' products.

What does Educational Week mean to you? Perhaps you have children in school or perhaps you have not. We should all be back of the great system of schools in Chis city, county, state and nation. They are unmatchable any where in the country. They are doing the greatest good of any institutions in the country. 'They deserve not only your financial support but your moral help. Do you visit schools? Do you keep in touch with the work there? Do you take part in the entertainments and sports'? Dq you help the teachers, the principals and the superintendents to keep step with progress? Schools and churches are a great part of your community. Without them we would not be much of a people. This week is devoted to calling your attention to the things that are and the things that should be in your schools. Red Cross means much to this country. It is an organization which • devotes its time and energy and i money to rendering assistance when it is needed greatly. We can never > tell when disaster will meet up with I our community. We hope it may

A big. warm hearted human of broad sympathies, ho has not forgot.ten the days when as a boy he longed for his father, who never returnled with his ship and found his tomb |in the fathomless deep. As a boy he (had his struggles and today is never .too busy or absorbed in his own as- ' I fairs to thinks of others. One of the first men chosen for the responsible position of Chairman of the Shipping Board by President Harding, he felt impelled to decline, believing that he ' I could be of more public service in his (present position than by accepting this honor. He always chats in a kindly way; "Cultivating memory becomes easy and more natural if you establish the habit of making the effort, keeping in .mind what is essential and what is ' non-essential. Some people inspire land help you and give you information —others do not. Clogging the brain with impediments and consum- . ing time with associations that are not helpful in some way is wasted time." Associates insist that James Farrell has a mind that is like an adding machine. Figures seem to stay right with him to the decimal point A rather tall man'with gray mustache and eyes looking at you somewhat shy, but drinking in every word or fact in a conservation or at a directors' meeting, he is known as a “dirlector who directs.” At 71 Broadway in New York, on ■ the eighteenth floor.
