Give a dollar or two to the Red Cross fund for the flood refugees of the great territory of th<> southwest. This was a line spring day and If tile man who runs the water wagon for the weather bureau will keep it plugged for a few days so the farmers can sow their oats ami do the other woik in season, the smiles will return. More than nine thousand square miles of land in Mississippi and Arkansas have been laid waste by the! great flood and tile crest has not been reached. There is much work to be done and the Red Cross is trying to save every life possible. Clean-up week starts next Monday., Are you ready for the trucks? Don't put off cleaning the yard any longer. You have already had two or,three weeks notice and its well to remember that the force can only make the rounds once. According to government reportss the pin business has been one of those showing the greatest decline the

past three years, which is not surprising for the “pin" business includes also metal hairpins, for which there has not been much use recently. Bobbed hair and the fashion of fewer clothes has effected numerous manufacturers. An extensive movement is on foot to establish a fixed date for Easter and while we confess that we have no expert knowledge of these things it looks as though tlje modern craze of standardizing everything seems to be urea a [fairs in such a 'waj .o to make uitir efforts commercial rather than religious. "Bill” Settles will talk to the people of this county tomorrow evening, speaking at the Monroe high school auditorium at eight o'clock. He may even explain the charges that he wore spats while in Washington, which seem to be the greatest, in fact the only answer that has been made to his charges of having been steamrolled. Tim area devastated by the recent floods in the southwest is the largest ever known in the history of this country, the suffering is the greatest and the number of people driven from their homes is now reported to exceed 100.000. 'l’he local Red Cross chapter is trying to raise a fund of from S6OO | to SI,OOO as our share for the relict of those so unfortunate as to have been caught by the weeks of storm t and rain. Won't you help this splendid cause? Several Fort Wayne factories recently announced that in the future only Fort Wayne residents would be employed and one large concern even went so far as to fix a date by which time every employee was supposed to have moved there or relinquish his job. Os course it had its roarback ami now those who made such announcements are busy backing up but the fact remains that this is only for publicity purposes and that the movement will go on quietly. Civil service seems to be a line thing for the republicans to argue when they are not in pqwer but so far as applying to democrats when the G. O. P. is in, the boys seem to have about as much chance here as

Hie proverbial “snow ball in h.ub s ' P The very partisan attitude now being I exhibited should be remembered. "To the victor belong the spoils" is peri haps alright except that it has always I been argued that it was not to apply Jin tiiose places where civil service was In force and until very recently, , lias not. You can convince yourselves of the partisanship being used by cheeking up the list of carriers in 1 this county as to politics umi by J remembering that they even go so far • I as to pass up first class carriers who * are patrons of the local office. It i doesn't sectfl just exactly fair to a lot of folks. in this enlightened era the great mass of children are either entirely footloose and free or the laboratory material for the experimenters in infant mortality, child hygiene and education. The parent has become

disinterested witness while a procession of federal, state and philanthropic, scientific and plain meddlesome observers, advisers, directors, managers, workers and agents file in and out the ntfrsery. The home has ceased to be a restraining influence upon rising generations. The payent is no longer lord and master of the child. Barents have surrendered to maiden ladies and politicians the authority that once,mado them builders of the nation. When will the I reaction set in? There can be no hope that the pendulum will swing back to parental control of the child as long as the tendency of society is to take the responsibility for child training from the parents and place it in 'schools or with welfare agents. Oldfashioned methods, it is true, are in high disfavor in this revolutionary age, but since modern methods have failed to instill firm principles of honor, morality and industry and the old-fashioned method was highly successful, there should be no organized resistance to a reversion to the old. ] —Goshen Democrat. o

. TO AID VETERANS ■ ( IN GETTING LOANS S ’ Legion To Assist Ex-service Men In Obtaining Veterans’ Bureau Loans The American Legion will assist Veterans of the World War in seeur- • ing loans from the United States Veterans Bureau on their Adjusted Comi pensation Certificates, it was announ- " ced by local Legion officials here toi day. Blanks with which to make applications for loans were received by the local Legion post today from Department Headquarters at Indianapolis and announcement was made that loans would be made by Indianapolis Regional Office of the Veterans' Bureau beginning April Ist. To secure such loans local ex-ser-vice men should get in contact with one of the following officers of the local post: Commander Paul Graham Adjutant Leo Ehinger Finance Officer Joe Laurent The Veterans Bureau loans will be made oply upon identification by one | of the above named officials, by tae local postmaster, or by the affidavit of a notary public. "The American Legion, which was responsible for the enactment of the Adjusted Compensation act by Congiess, has viewed with concern the lefusal of banks in many parts of the 1 country to make the loans on Adjust- 1 ed Compensation Certificates as pro-1 vided for by the law, and is now pre-1 pared to coopeiate witli the Veterans Bureau in handling the loans," stated Commander Graham of the local L< -, gion Post today. "We advise all ex-service men who.

/lability Insurance is Thrift ams Peace of Mind I -Ml i. i .. THE family strong box is the receptacle for many important papers, but the most vital of all in the motorist's strong box is the liability insurance policy. It is the most vital because it protects the permanent value of every other paper in the box. The motorist never knows when, by some turn of fate, he may be made defendant in a damage suit, facing a judgment that may leave him penniless and in debt. Such things are not uncommon. Many drivers, just as cautious and careful as you, have had their life’s savings swept away by just such an unlucky “break”. What a sensible, thrifty act it is to provide against such bad fortune by securing automobile liability insurance in a good sound stock company. Then should ill-fortune ride with you. there’s a great strong friend ready to step to your aid and take the burden of defense from you. The mortgages, the deeds, the contracts and the life insurance policies in that strong box of yours will be much safer if you Av will put an automobile liability policy beside them. y —.— — - - - - - - ■ g $ S A BS B

are not badly in need of the loan to retain their Adjusted Compensation Certificate, since the amount that may be borrowed on them is very small ns compared with their face value at maturity," he continued. "We do believe however, that the Veteran who is up up against it and badly in need of the money should lie allowed to secure this and will help his in getting it." Mining I*..
