Talking about improving your figures, how about those which make up your hank balance? That’s important too. Charley Lindbergh no doubt is now convinced that “nothing succeeds like success.” He is a hero in Paris where a few months ago it was scarcely sate for an American to show himself. We fell a little touch of the cyclone which rushed through northern Indiana yesterday afternoon and while no serious damage was done here, it looked quite possible for a few minutes that almost any thing could happen. Isn’t it worth a dollar or two to know that the children and the young men and women who work will have a real place for out door sports? Send it along and lets help the Legion and the General Electric and the other organizations put this over. Ambassador Myron T. Herrick seems to be getting as much of a thrill out of Captain Lindbergh's achievement in crossing the Atlantic as the lanky yankee is getting himself and he insists the occasion has restored his youth to a greater extent than any ionic he could have obtained. With almost three hundred entered in the Vacation Bible school, with a faculty of worth while men and women and with more interest than ever before manifested, they are away to a good start its a splendid opportunity for those who desire to study the Bible front a religious or historical point of view and is deserving of earnest support. W. A. Pickens, president of the Indianapolis Bar Association is ob- . jecting to the granting of a parole to Ex-governor McCray on the grounds that its a bad example. He may be right but we are sure there are a lot of fellows running around in absolute freedom who deserve punishment more than the ex-governor. Whats he going to do with them? It does look as though congress ought to take some steps for the relief of the people in the flood districts and for the reconstruction of the hundreds of thousands of territory which have been ruined. Suppose they did spend a few million or a billion dollars. Wouldn't it help by keeping tilings going, money in circulation, as well as.-remedying the loss? y * Trustee Strombeck of near Warsaw, ’’ has tired of having the children taught by young lady teachers who wear short skirts and use rouge and lip sticks and by young men who attend a dance each evening and indulge in the use of liquor and tobacco and has announced that none of these will be hired in the future. He's not so far off the right track at that. When the physicians decided that whiskey was the only thing which would save his wife's life, Governor Jackson just hunted a bootlegger and bought the whiskey. Os course he violated the law ami admits he is liable to legal punishment but its not likely a jury could be found which would convict him. If liquor was

I used only as medicine, there would f probably bo but little objection. This community mourns the loss of another well-known citizen, David M. Hensley, for more than a third of a / century identified with the business 1 interests and the civic affairs of this , city. He was u kind hearted. Industrious, helpful man, always eager to do his share and always active in 2 those affairs which were designed to J help the greatest number. He took > a keen interest in boys and derived • much pleasure from helping them get j started in a business way. He was I generous 'o a fault, a kind and loving home man, a worker for the lodges and organizations to which he belonged and his hearty hand shake and happy smile will be sadly missed. The Memorial Day duty of paying tribute to the nation’s heroic dead has been transferred from the aged veterans of the Civil war to the youthi ful participants in the World war. Properly this sacred duty devolves upon the youth of the land rather than the older people, for it was the 5-aliant young men of the country who saved the Union and the equally 1 glorious young men of a later gener--1 ation that saved civilization from the threat of despotism. Before 1917 it was difficult for the younger people to visualize the “Boys of ’6l” when viewing the remnants of the once mighty armies of Grant and Sherman, ' come to be enfeebled old men. But those armies were composed of the ( flower of the nation's youth, just as , the armies which crossed the sea to < France over half a century later com- ' prised the nation's best young men. It is honor to the valor and sacrifices of youth that we pay today and it is fitting that men and women of like ages in all the years to come carryon the beautiful custom originated by the survivors of the Civil war and discharged as a duty with, inspiring faithfulness by the Grand Army of the Republic. A duty of Memorial Lay, then, should be to inculcate in the minds of the young the spirit of gratitude and loyalty that shall insure the durability of the customs characteristic of this day. A mistaken idea with some people is that the newspaper is an individual proposition. If they don’t like the editor, they feel they must knock the paper and stand in the way of its success whenever possible. They do not realize that the local paper is just as much a part of the community as the schools, churches or anything else. The newspaper is different from any other business, it is a community affair. It is for service to the people and not for any individual. You may not like the editor but the paper he is responsible for does just as much you as the service rendered others. There is nothing personal with it, it is here for a purpose and that purpose is to do what good it can in every way it can and the greater the support of those it undertakes. to serve the better service it can render. It takes the people to make a good newspaper and without the help of the people no one can run a successful newspaper. It requires money to operate any kind of business —even the churches and the papers are no . exception and for this reason they must have the financial support of ■ the business interest as w-ell as the , good will. Few newspaper publishers make more than a comfortable living . and scarcely one is reported wealthy from money made in the newspaper business. They desire to be trusted , and to be understood by the people i —it is the editor and not the plant > that makes a newspaper useful in a I community, though a liberal patron- • age is necessary if the paper is to • be a credit to the town. o — , THE GREAT WAR | | 10 YEARS AGO I !
