How I Earned My First Dollar

How Harry C. Stickel. secretarytreasurer of the Vigo-American Clay company, earned his first dollar was told cheerfully by him yesterday, ^because, as he said, "It began in a connection with the newspaper business." "I earned my first dollar selling newspapers," began Mr. Stickell. "I was born at Miamisburg, O., and the family packed me up and brought me hero with the rest of the movables when I was 6. When I was 9 to 10 I started in selling a weekly publication, the Saturday Evening Mail, run by* Perry Westf&U. "I scratched around until I got a list of subscribers at a nickel a shot and bought the weekly at 2% cents, so that I managed to' cleanup about 25 cents regularly every Saturday afternoon, and had, usually, some extra sales scattered along. At the same time I began working as a 'cub" in father's carriage shop, scraping the grease, from and sandpapering buggy bodies. I got 50. cents a week for this, working Saturdays,, holidays and during vacation* I later carried the Gazette after school for years.

My,

hrst

money, was invested in partial payments on a suit of clothes. "That was not all of my newspaper experience for I graduated to the dignity of a reporter. (Mr. Stickel was talkitig to a reporter). My first reportorial Job was on the Terre Hiaute Journal, a German weekly, run at that time by a man named Wolf. I got fired because I couldn't write in German and the foreman of the composing room had to rewrite my stuff in German for the printers to set up. But I went right across the street and started in with GeorgO Allen, then running the Express, a few hours

voices heard, but they are only told lo go on fighting for anything and everything that their rulers have in mind.

The people pay, they starve, they die. The war is thfeir war, and yet they do no| know what they are fighting' for. This is one of the intolerable evils of autocracy. To slay this monster is one of the American aims in the war.

WOMAN AND THE WAR.

Mrs. Hooton, of the Red Cross committee, reported Saturday that Terre Haute women are backward in responding for war wbrk. Many more can be used.

The example of the Terre Haute teachers who have promised to sew every Tuesday evening is more to the point, and should have its influenoe on other classes. Women everywhere are "doing their bit."

Almost every paper we pick up records some instance, some of them pathetic in the extreme, of_ where women (Invariable young and good looking) have, made noble sacrifices in behalf of the flag.

Such, a spirit is indeed touching. fA. week or two ago we read, with siderable emotion, and gazed with iderable more emotion on the halfme' classic features of these nieces of Uncle Sam who "refused to marry slackers." Certainly tljere was heroism and a degree of martyrdom not often encountered.

Then came the ohorus girl who volunteers to "Kiss Every Man Who Enlists." And there was also a picture to prove tlfat the new recruit^met his first call to arms promptly.

There is the stanch little patriot down east who unflinchingly posed before a camera, proclaiming to the wide, wide world th£\t she is willing to wear an American flag between her shoulder blades. It takes a lot of backbone to do that, and it was, indeed, a Drave showing.

We read with much further concern that a "big sister" movement is under way to make life less prosaic for the poor lonesome sailor boys, whom nature, in all probability, forgot to supply with sisters.

We do hope the irrepressible tars will not be so ungentlemanly as to reply in rhyme that they are using "one sock for a helmet and one for a mitt," inquiring gently, who taught the senders how to Jcnit.

We have it on reliable authority that the trusty sewing machine is the laywoman's njost powerful war ,implement. But there's nothing romantic or even spectacular about a sewing machine.

WHERE STAND THE PEOPLE.

Letters to the Tribune from Its readers throughout western Indiana and eastern Illinois establish beyond a doubt the fact that the people are behind the president in his decision to selve the volunteer plan of army organization with conscription.

The other newspapers of Indian^ and the newspapers of Illinois are nearly a unit in this matter. They have come to the conclusion that the selective draft is the only practical way to raise an army of sufficient size and in the time required to deal with the present situation, is manifest. Every report received by the Tribune and other newspapera, every poll taken, indicates this. The keen student of public opinion can almost feel' the change that has taken place.

As stated before, this change is based upon sound reasoning. The draft, with proper allowance for men needed in agriculture, in industry and as heads of families, is se%n to be the only fair and democratic method of raising a large,army in a short time: The fail-

later. I got tired of working on the night paper and changed over to the Evening News until they broke up. After that I went with, the V&nd&lia railroad in the auditor's office, where I stayed seven years, leaving to go into the internal revenue office when Judge D. W. 'Henry was collector. I was there a number of years and left to go with the American Clay company, who later merged with the Vigo Clay company in the American-Vigo Clay company."

ure of the volunteer system even to fill the gaps in the navy, the marines, the regular army and the militia is admitted. There has been, and still is, plenty of room in these divisions of the service for all who may volunteer

But above and beyond all other rea-* sons for the public espousal of the draft system is the confidence felt in President Wilson. The people feel that in him they have a wise, patient and tolerant leader a statesman of highest type, more inclined to withhold the power of his hand than strike, but, once decided to draw the sword, valiant and unafraid to wield it.

If Wilson says the draft is necessary, the people are for it. They are willing to trust him, even with their liberties. And time-serving politicians who cannot catch the drift of public sentiment must stand aside.

THE EYE OF THE WAR.

In this week's issue of the Saturday Evening- Post is a striking article by Lord Northcliff, the British newspaper publisher, who has been called' "the eye of the war," so kee$ has been' his analysis of the faults jot the allied armies.

He urges selective conscription in this country £.nd particularly opposes the sending to the battle fields oif France green volunteer organizations such as Mr. Roosevelt proposes. The NorthclifE article bears close rea.ding. It is sound advice.

Alt Britain flow realizes the costly error committed in blind allegiance to an out-worn theory. The world knows that thousands upon thousands of young Englishmen laid down their lives in Enrope because their nation was not wise enough to establish once universal training and universal service.

It is not without^ significance that those members of Congress now most loudly insisting upon their faith in Volunteering are the same who a few weeks ago were insisting that the United States should not enter trie war. At that time they preferred a continuation of pgace to a defense of the nation's honor. Now, defeated in their peace-at-any-prlce demand^ they are doing all in their power to cripple their own nation and neutralize its declaration of war.

They are playing the kaiser's game. Were they actually receiving Instructions from Berlin, they could not In the present emergency act more faithfully as the German Imperial government would have them act.

Complete dependence on volunteer enlistments has proved a menace and delusion every time It has been tried. Under conditions of modern war the volunteer system is &n injustice to everyone concerned. It is costly in lives, destructive of property, uneconomic, inefficient, rankly unfai rto the volunteer and no less unjustly lenient with the slacker.

The bill in congress which Champ Clark and other obstructionists are fighting, proposes ijo permanent military policy. It merely proposes selective conscription for the period of the war while preserving the volunteer system in many of its aspects. It leaves open for discussion after the war what kind of military policy shall b^/adopted for the years to come.

If you can't fight, you can hoe and if you can't hoe, you can knit and if you can't knit, you can write to your congressman urging universal service.

Chicago is going to do its farming nights by searchlight. Pity the same searchlight couldn't be turned on some of those Chicago bandits.

Sunday School Lesson For April 29

BV REV. A. E. MONGER, MAPLE AVEIVUK METHODIST EPISCOPAL

"Jesus Welcomed as King."—John 12:12-26.

We come now to that period in the life of Jesus which we know as Passion week. The day of his entry into Jerusalem was in every way a menjorable event. Great numbers, for some time, had been streaming along the roans leading up to the capital that they might participate in the feast of the Passover. The great question debated among them was, "WU1 the 'prophet oj Nazareth come to the feast?" There was no longer any need for silence about this. There should be .at least once a public acknowledgement of His Kingship before He died that the people might know whom It was that they were rejecting.

This entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem is b*y no means to be taken to be a mission of non-resistance. Wnlle His non-resistance was" physical, in spirit, He resisted mightily the efforts of the world to overcome His gospel of salvation. He took his stand for the truth, and not even death could force Him out of that determination. Americans can find In the attitude of the Master, light upon the great crisis, In which we find ourselves involved. The world conflict is a conflict of ideas democracy and imperialism. We who believe thrtt democracy is the fundamental law In human development must be willing not onlv to defend it, but also to give our lives to crush the spirit of imperialism.that would destroy democracy.

We have in this lesson the fickleness of the crowd. Many of the crowd who shouted for Him as king, shouted a little harder before the ludgment scat of Pilate, "Away with Him:" That Is the danger of fanaticism of every sort. This is not the spirit nor the attitude that makes for progress of human life. It really betravs and crucifies t.ru£h. To stay with such leaders means that in -the end all together fall into destruction. America today needs men who will not depari from the truln

and who will be willing to give their lives and their wealth that truth shall not be crushed. The world needs to die unto Itself for the larsrer life of humanity before we can ever have Ahe more abundant life. This is the lesson which thev world must learn today. There must b6 a willingness to mak^ any sacrifice that truth may reign. If it takes warfare to establish the iryths of the Prince of Peace then we ^iust wage u..„

Experience

Back of this season's new Overland Big Fours and Light Sixes are a direct line of nine preceding models from which they were developed. They directly continue the line of models that made the Overland name stand in the public mind for integrity of value. Overland policy has steadfastly sustained that integrity of value in the car throughout its entire

Service in the hands of owners. Over three hundred thousand of these cars are now in use and the helpful suggestions of their owners and of the more than four thousand dealer and fac-tory-branch organizations that cold and served them, are largely responsible for the balanced greatness of this season's Big

HOROSCOPE.

"The a tare laellae. Mat

Dm Hot

CaaycL"

Monday, April 30, 1917.

Astrologers read this as an unfavorable day. Uranus, Mars and Mercury are all in malefic aspect.

There is a sign indicating some serious criticism or opposition concerning army affairs, but this cnanges to a friendly influence.

Military matters will occupy much attention, especially after the last week of next month, but astrologers do not foresee that United States soldiers will be sacrificed in war.

Under this government of the stars it is said to be dangerous to make decisions. Judgment is uncertain, as the mind is subject to rapid changes.

Diplomacy has a direction that is sinister and, danger of a mistake that may cause a temporary strain Between the United States and Canada is fpretold.

Again the troubte, so long prognosticated as coming from the south appears near, but it Is not likely to be serious, although it may cause grave anxiety and much expense.

Fame for a woman who will bring before the nation some measure for human betterment is prophesied.

Mrs. Josie Cole, of Jeffersonville, Ind., route 1, box 86, says: "Several years ago I was suffering from a woman's trouble. I tried two doctors who did me no good.

Mercury has a sinister message-tor today, as the seers declare that the planet is'in a place that hints of libel suits and scandals that touch persons in public life.

This is an exceedingly unfortunate day for signing leases,/^'contracts, "or agreements of any sort. ,:

Although thero is general hope of a speedy ending, of the war, astrologers foresee that bloodshed will stain the earth until the end of the year. Even if an armistice or peace is attained, the eclipse of December 28 is likely to stir for war. It is most unfortunate for Holland and India.

Next month probably will be a time for much peace discussion which the stars seem to indicate will be futile.

Canada has the promise of great crops and general prosperity during the summer months.

Persons whose blrthdate it is should not make any changes. Travel and removals are under a forbidding ruie. Annoyances and perplexities may be numerous.

Children born on this day may fie i of unsettled disposition and too foiid of change to succeed. These subjects of Taurus may be to imaginative to te strictly truthful.

Just So.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been a favorite with women for nearly fifty years because it contains no alcohol or any narcotic. It is put up in both liquid and tablets, and is to be found in any drug store. If you will send Dr. Pierce Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.
