Charter Member The Indiana League of Home D&lllee WHY A PREMIUM FOR IDLENESS? „ In America many men are Idle 2 because industrial plants are not • operating or are running part time «• only and with reduced forces. In morft" cases idleness is forced on them. Contrasting this American spirit and-Willingness to work with the labqrtng classes of England, where authorities say the dole system had ruined any inclination or incentive to work, the gap is a wide one. Today two million men in England are living from the dole or the money paid to them each week by the government. This hand out to the idle amounts to 17 shillings a week for a married man, an additional nine shillings for the wife and two shillings for each child. A shilling in London will buy about as much as a quarter in this country. », Since 1922 England has paid three billion dollars in dole. The' same authorities state that many persons have lived their entire life from the dole and are now raising their children through the govern- * “Tnent bounty. Idleness is bred through the system and industry -•- is at a standstill. Buying power .*. is destroyed anti the spirit of work never enters a person’s mind after "* he is once listed on the dole. Writers view England’s condition with concern and point out the effect it has on the rest of the • world. England imports more than M fifty per cent of what it consumes — and more than 41 per cent of America’s exports used to go to the British Empire. This has been ~ reduced greatly, because England "** is idle. ~ There is talk of cancelling the dole, working out some other sys- ’• tern, of putting a premium on work instead of idleness and even the -*-« die-hard Cobden free-traders are talking and organizing parties to put up a tariff wall around the empire, another matter to be con- ,, sidered by nations which formerly depended on the empire for export / business. Any system of government which breeds idleness and destroys those principles which teach that an ** honest living must be obtained from honest work is destructive and England’s condition is an example that it’s folly to put a pre- ~ mium on idleness. -*? Not that anybody cares or that it makes any difference but we tried to find out what has become ~ of the old-fashioned girl who used ’ to ask people to write something in her autograph album. It de- ■ — veloped that she is now a grandmother with a decided leaning towards the brand of cigarets that, according to the advertisements, I V satisfy. She shakes a wicked hoot at a majority of the dances and sits back and laughs at some of the middle-aged ones when they attempt a quadrille or whatever those old-fashioned dances were called. And she also has a daughter and a granddaughter who are hard pressed to keep up with her when it comes * being "the life ot the party." Granddaughter un- -

And that's what has happened to at least one old-fashioned girl.— Frankfort Times. There are a lot of ways to get >otir name before the public in this country. A fellow named Pasley has written a book entitled ’’Al Capone, a self-made man.” He paints him as quite a hero It is said and says he is worth $20,000,000. He has made that sellbig beer and whiskey In violation of the law and Pasley says he is a great fellow because when one of his runners is killed he lets his beard grow until after the funeral as a token of grief. A bunch of local boys have confessed to a career ot crime extending over the past several months and will no doubt have to suffer • the penalties for their wrong doing. It doesn't pay and the young fellow who thinks it does is not fooling a soul but himself. The straight and narrow path is the only one that you can travel over safely and expect any geuine pleasure in life. The Decatur football squad lost the game to South Side at Fort Wayne yesterday but they made them exert themselves to the limit and made a good showing. The boys have the making of a great team and with continued effort and coaching will bring home the bacon one of these days. The campaign will begin to warm up next week and during October there will be plenty of speeches and rallies and arguments to let you know that an election will be held early in November and that every good citizen should do his part. L. E. Archbold, county agricultural agent, believes in keeping busy. After managing the successful farm show in last week’s big fair, he is now busy arranging various farm meetings for the next few weeks. Lawrence is a hustler, likes his job, keeps right at it and is making good. Another week in history and a general improvement of conditions. The crops are coming out very good and there is activity in numerous lines. The sun is going to shine. o COUNTY AGENT CALENDAR Tuesday, Sept. 23 Corn Root Rot and Field Selection of Seed Corn. Dr. C.

Oct. 6 to 11 is seed corn selection and storage week for Indiana farmers. At that time, every farmer in the state is asked to go through his corn fields and select not only enough seed for himself but also a little extra to help out the farmers whose crops were ruined by the drouth. Selection of the seed will be of little use, however, if it is not properly dried. Corn that is selected in the field at any time should be stored the same day it is gath- ♦ ; ♦ Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say, ‘The show was real good.” Say "very good."
