COMPANY B.

Reports emanating from the state camp of the Indiana National Guard are highly complimentary to Company •si of Terre Haute and to Captain Gerf, hardt Monninger. The company not ij only had the largest percentage of membership in camp of any company in the state, but in the drills the Terre

Haute militiamen were declared to be the most expert. This was the judgment of regular army officers, and does credit to the officers of Company B. The war abroad alters public opinion of this branch of the national service. When we read of the reservists being called out by the nations involved In the conflict abroad, we know that is the call •that would bring to the front the citi'zen military of this country, were the

United States at war. The national guard constitutes a great organization. A that stands between the general citizenry and military service. There have arisen conditions which may have ,prejudiced certain elements against the state militia when It responded to the .. call of the general peace against local eruptions, but the theory of our de-

mocracy here has been based on pteaceable adjustment of such crises, and some such Instrument as the national guard Is a necessary element to foster just that phase of our civilization. The national guard has saved a sufficient number of communities from their own vlcioushess to deserve the friendly lnt*'j: terest of all of the people. Any honor j: one Company is in an indirect way an honor to the community -from whlclr

It gathers its members.

THE PATHFINDERS.

Mayor Roberts, in his address before the commissioners' convention, contrasted good roads sentiment and good roads works as demonstrated in the different states. He said that three thousand people working on the roads in Missouri on "good roads" day was sentiment and all right. But in Ohio $3,000,000 worth of contracts were recently let for permanent road improvement. This he said was sound business.

One year ago they had a road day in ^VUssouri and many thousands of men ent out and spent the day helping grade the highways. This year it was done again, the governor reporting for duty with other citizens.

Ohio has made a business proposition out of highway improvement. More than $3,000,000 worth of contracts have

been let and the work started. Many miles of new roads have been constructed and thousands of men are laboring each day completing the work on the contracts distributed all over the state.

Next year as much more new work will be started and hundreds of miles added to the paved highways of the state. The tax to meet these expenses has been paid without undue objection. The sentiment of the state is for improved highways, property owners in all sections are urging that work begin on their road.

Missouri is appealing to sentiment. Ohio has made it a business proposition and is getting results. There has been laid out in the state a system of main market and intercounty roads, that will completely cover the st^ate, and put Into one continuous paved roadway over 8,000 miles when the system is completed. Missouri is the "Show me" state. Ohio is doing the showing.

WHAT PLEASES DEATH.

According to dispatches to the Tribune today, the French are evacuating territory taken by them in the earlier contacts and are concentrating along the second line depending upon the massed artillery forces to stop the tide of on-coming German hosts. Just as Germany has staked all on the massing of overwhelming forces of men, so has France elected to trust to her fort ana field artillery. Germany h^s wittingly shut her eyes to the awful carnage of which the French guns are capable, hoping to rush and capture them by infantry. France is gambling that her guns will be able to annihilate any force that comes within their range. And she is ready to sacrifice any number of her own infantry merely to protect her guns from capture, to keep them in action.

Which system will win? This is the question that military experts the world over are asking as they watch the mighty forces hurled at each other along the Franco-German frontiers. Both systems really date back to the time of the great Napoleon, after having been tried out with varying success in our own civil war, in th? Franco-Prussian war of 1870, and in the Russo-Japanese war of 1905. While the Germans have powerful cannon and the French have wonderful infantry, each army has been built up on directly diverging and highly specialized lines. The Germans have admittedly the best massed troops as the French have admittedly the best artillery.

The quick f|ring of massed cannon at close range into large bodies of troops, and particularly the firing of these can-non-at unexpected points, made Napoleon master of Europe. In oilrown civil war this method, save its feature of massed firing on a tactical point, was rendered useless by the invention of long-distance rifles placed In the hands of infantry and the consequent inability to handle cannon at close quarters. Witness Fredericksburg and Gettysburg.

GETTING STARTED.

Few topics offer such wide range for consideration or evoke such voluminous criticism as does the subject of schools. Educators are now engaged in trying to analyze the reason why scholars In this country are two years behind scholars in other countries in complet ing a collegiate course

Principal Franklin W. Johnson of the University high school, Chicago, answers these questions in an article on "Waste in Education," in a recent Issue

For Every Woman to Secure the Happiness of Health instead of suffering pain and sorrow

During the past forty years thousands upon thousands of women have found relief in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription from the sufferings to which all women are subject. The dizziness, hot flashes, nervous irritability, backaches, headaches, bearing-down-pains, low spirits which come periodically to many women are signs that the functions of the feminine organs are not being performed as Nature intended. The immediate sufferings are bad enough but they are warnings of complete break-down unless help is secured. Don't wait! Act—wisely and quickly!

Blind Boy "Taking Down" Speech

When Bert Cutting, a 19-year-old blind boy, of Indianapolis, reported Governor Ralston's speech at the All Soul's church several days ago, he performed a feat which probably earned for him the distinction of being the first and only blind shorthand reporter in the world. Cutting does not write the usual shorthand notes which are legible only to those who write them. Instead, he uses a universal system In wihich words are spelled out in plain print on the stenotype, the new Mars Hill industry, and which can be read by any other stenotypist.

Four years ago, Cutting was a normal boy, but typhoid and other complications deprived him of his sight. Cutting found in the stenotype an opportunity to make himself self supporting. Stenotypy has been introduced here by the Brown's Business college.

BERT CUTTING AT STENOTYPE.

of the Popular Science Monthly. We are wasting these two years, he says, in our elementary and secondary schools. We assign eight years to elementary, four years to secondary, and four years -to collegiate education. This allotment of time to the various schools, he asserts, is hot based on any rational theory, but is rather the result of accident.

The waste in, our elementary and secondary schools, Principal Johnson claims, is due in the first place to a lack of co-ordination between the separate parts of our school organization. In the next place -it is due to the inferior training of our teachers. The teachers in the German secondary schools are much better equipped both in scholastic and professional requirements than American teachers are. A man is not appointed instructor In a gymnasium merely on the strength of his diploma. He must go through his "trial period" before he is permanently Intrusted with the work of teaching. Germany, .however, can exact such requirements from Its teachers much more readily, It is pointed out, because the position there is practically for life and carries a pension with it, while in the United States teachers pretty generally aim to get out of their profession after a time because of its economic limitations. And while they are in it they are shifted from school to school.

If our educational principles are accidental, as Prof., Johnson says, they are wonderfully tenacious, and if this generation can afford to experiment here and there with certain innovation? there is a mead of c.onsolation in the belief that the up-coming pupil will profit thereby.

Austria has been defeated in war often er than any other one country. But don't make the mistake of trying to get any dope out of that statement.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

Thursday, August 27, 1914.

Astrology reads this as rather an unfortunate day, for early in the morning Saturn and Mars are adverse. In the evening Neptune exorcises a beneflc influence.

It 1s not wise, If one believes In the messages from the stars, to tempt fate under this aspect, for unusual perils may be met on journeys and In the routine walks of life. When Mar3 is unfriendly accidents are supposed to be common.

While the aspect is in operation It is well to be temperate In all the appetites and emotions. The mental and physical force should be exercised equally.

The death of a woman of International fame again is foreshadowed.It will have an effect on certain largo organizations in the United States, a London astrologer predicts.

Persons whose blrtbdate It Is probably will meet with provocation to quarrel or enter into litigation, but they should avoid litigation as they will lose in law suits. Young persons may "give them anxiety.

Children born on this day may be unusually brilliant, but they should be trained carefully, for they have a tendency to be untruthful. There Is little chance of. money, except by means of hard work.

REALTY DEALERS FIX TIME FOR CONVENTION

Will Organize State Association and Advance Ideas for Some Needed Legislation.

INDIANAPOLIS,, Ind„ Aug. 26.—For the first time In the history of Indiana realty dealers from all over the statf will gather, October 7th, 8th and 9.h, In Indianapolis in the ihst annual convention of the Indiana Real Estate association. It is expected at that time that between eight hundred and one thousand dealers in real estate from all parts of Hoosierdom will assemble in the capital city to perfect a 1 ermanent organization of a state associiticn and to lay plans for legislation to be secured from the next legislature which will materially benefit the owners and realty dealers of the whole state.

In line with this idea, the committee in charge of the program for the convention in October has Planned to spend one whole session in discussion of the taxation problem J'.nri the feasible re:.i.edies for its evils. The whole program as being arranged by this committee,

IS so W a

Indianapolis, is chairman, Includes a session Wednesday afternoon on the tax problem at which speakers from Wis- 1 consin, Ohio and possibly Pennsylvania, will discuss the ways In which that problem has been solved in those states, which are now the leading states in the matter of tax reform. The Thursday morning session, October 8th, will be devoted to questions of paramount interest to realty dealers, such as the proposition of licensing real estate dealers which Is being urged In New York, Texas and several other states, the problem of good roads, the question of the improvement and development of rural life and other subjects which will b.e of vital interest to every real estate, broker in Indiana.

On Thursday night the banquet will be held at the Clay pool hotel. It Is planned to halve a speaker of national reputation who will address the realty

men

at that time. Already two cities of the state have announced their intention of making a bid for the 1915 convention these are Gary and Ft. Wayne. Friday noon the convention will adjourn.

Indiana Backward.

Indiana, for a number of years, hats lagged behind other states in the matter of realty organization and development. New York, Ohio, Illinois, California, Tepcas and all of the other states to the fore in the real estate business, have organized state associations and have secured legislation which puts investments in real estate on an equal plane with investments in other species of property. Although Indiana has now more than fifteen hundred realty dealers doing business in the state, heretofore these halve been unorganized and •vnn in thp matter of local organization have made little progress. The me--who are behind this movement for

state convention and who represent all sections of the state believe that the convention in October will be the first step toward putting the real estate business in Indiana In a condition where It can compete to the best advantage with all other Investment businesses.

The tax problem particularly when sol/ved, it is believed, should be of the highest benefit to real estate dealers. Indiana real estate pays approximately four fifths of all taxes levied. In other states, notably "Wisconsin, the burden
