"""Someone estimates that 75 thousand persons, mostly children, die every year from the 30 diseases i carried by the fly and that is suf- ’ ficient reason why we want to get rid of the pesky things. —_ Ramsay McDonald has formed ' his coalition cabinet and out of the j ruins the labor leader may emerge i, one of the real heroes of Britain.' It seems that no one knows what j he can do until he is forced into a j, position where he must do it. Kokomo gets the 1932 conven-'' i tion of the American Legion and I I ] Columbia City becomes the home of the new state commander. Ralph 1 Gates, attorney, of that city was elected to the state office by the delegates in session at Anderson. Both cities have a right to feel ] honored. England has a $600,000,000 deficit and the United States is about $300,000,000 in the hole. Ovex there Uie party in power resigns because no solution of how to prune the expenditures or raise the money can be agreed upon, while in this country we just keep going right on—until election day. Henry Ford announces that next year every married man who works i for him must have a garden and I grow his own vegetables. Such an | order might be easy to make, a lot! 1 easier we would say, than cultivat-1' ing the kind of garden which Mr. 1 Ford might expect from a tired 1 factory hand. Senator Charles McNary, of Ore- 1 gon, co-author of the once famous McNary-Haugen bill, must be sending out a few feelers, when he an- ' nounces that he is willing to submit the prohibition question back to the states. The senator is an I ardent dry and must have some! reason for taking such a position i in the matter. Adams Post of the American ( Legion walked off with first prize I for the best float entered in the big parade at Anderson, this being I the second time the boys won it. | The prize was SSO.

The Lutheran school, located on Eleventh street, is preparing for tjie opening of the fall term next month and Arnold Werling, form- , erly of Woodburn, has been selected principal. Mr. Werling was head of the Lutheran schools in Woodburn for two years and comes here well equipped by education and exl, perience to conduct the local parish J institution of learning. The state election board has ani nounced that 421 towns in Indiana must hold an election next Novemjber for the purpose of selecting j trustees, a clerk and a treasurer. , The legislature must have passed 'a law ordering these special elections, because the regular city elecj tions should not be held until 1933. The law probably governs towns under 5,C00 population. As the fall term of school nears the children are wondering and probably worrying if their evenings will be taken up with “home work." I We know the science of pedagogics . is for pedagogues, but as a layman we believe too much emphasis is placed on home work and that in many cases it kills desire and the cheerfulness which a child should have about school. Too much I “dogging" is not good for any child land home work too often becomes 'a druggery. We grant this is not .the case in high schools. President Hoover announces that | beginning October 19 and continu- | ing until November 25, a national drive for funds to aid the unemployied and suffering will be made. Mil- . lions will be needed and it’s some(thing new for an administration to | admit and then proceed on the 'grounds that conditions are bad j enough to warrant such a cam- ■ paign. Those fortunate enough to be in position to do it will gladly help, but what about those who feel that everything is alright. The federal prohibition director has announced that women will not be employed as decoys in bringing about the arrests of prohibition law violators. Recently women have been employed in New York to purchase liquor and one case came to the department's attention where a lady representative got so drunk she couldn't stand on her feet. Director Woodcock is emphatic about the order and says from now on women are tabooed in the game of running down the . violators. From the attendance at the hearings held here Tuesday by Mr . Shank, special representative of I the state tax board, it is evident i that many are interested in road improvements. Mr. Shank heard arguments for and against the improving of the Reusser road in Berne and the Hocker road in Washington and Monroe townships and the question of building them will rest with the state tax board. The law provides that the state I body must pass on all requests to | issue bonds and final decision in ; the matter rests with the state I commission. -o ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two r • —— 0 1.

Therefore I might as well give my readers a thrill in the very beginning by stating the outstanding cause of present condition are "The marketable value of education." I am a firm believer in education as it increases an individuals capacity *»r work, it opens up into their life new avenues of light. It makes of them larger individuals, providing their service is dedicated to a constructive program. The object being to help others instead of first helping themselves, considering service before money, as a man's real worth to his community is not what he takes or gets from that community but rather what he gives to his community in the way of helping service. On the other hand when the "marketable value of education" is a predominating ideal in a man's life, the market place is not questioned and the results are not considered. Self gratification is the goal, the objective being how much can I get for my education. Who will make me an offer? I am willing to sell my honor oath of office, faith of friends for money in order that 1 can maintain social position that my -salary will not permit. Weil the question might be rightfully asked, what has this to do with the great crime wave that now envelopes our country? Crime can not exist in mass form any where, unless officers accepts hush money from iaw violators In preference to doing their duty by being true to their oath of office and faithful to the community that they are under oath to protect Chicago and New York are very outstanding examples. However smaller towns can not escape our vision when law is trampled under foot right before the eyes of officers. If we ever reach a place in this country when officers can not be bargained with then we can and will see this crime wave dimish and we will again take our place among nations as a law abiding country. Our colleges and educators are | placing a fake emphasis on educa tion when they hold up before their (students the idea that their suc- : cess in life is their salary and so- ; clal position rather than real help- ) ful service. The rub of the whole affair is that those who have an education are taking advantage of the inno--11 cent, unorganized, uneducated, in >' order that they can live on a level i that is not computable with pres- ( ent conditions and binding burdens on this class that they themselves

, would not be able to carry if they were thrown on their own resources. I wish to call your attention to an incident that recently took place in a certain town, when the school board were discussing ways and means of lowering taxes. Every employee under the jurisdiction of this board were granted their old salary excepting the janitors whose salaries were cut. Here gentlemen is a beautiful example of the edu- > cated taking advantage of the uneditcated. If we ever gel any-

where in this country we must start at the top and cut down instead beginning at the bottom and cutting up. Fort the last ten years the same thing has been going on all over our nation. Educators, business men, manufactures, organized labor, dishonest officers, have bound burdens on farmers until they are unable to meet their obligations in the way of taxes. They have already put a lot of them on the financial cooling board and the rest will follow
