18 COUNTIES BID IN COTTON PLAN

Buy 318,000 Pounds Make Mattresses for 6350 Families.

Times Special LAFAYETTE, Feb. 21.—Enough cotton has been ordered by Indiana

counties participating in the cotton mattress program to provide 6350 mattress== for low-income families, L. E. Xoffman, assistant county agent ieader of the Purdue University Agricultural Extension Service said today. * The program is sponsored ‘by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The initial order from 13 of the 14 counties taking part totaled 318,000 pounds which will be used at the rate -of 50 pounds per mattress. The mattress program has a threefold purpose: 1. To provide cotton materials for mattresses to rural families who can’t afford to buy ready-made mattresses; 2. To expand the use of cotton, thus reducing the surplus, and; 3. To provide demonstrations through which rural residents may learn how to make mattresses and otherwise improve their homes.

Confident that they have a winner for the State Band Contest, parents

of members of the Warren Central High School Band have launched a

fund raising campaign.,

The fund will be used to send the band to the District contest at Con-

inersville,fi April 5. The State con-

test will be held at Tell City, April

126. The parents are hoping they’ll

have to raise more money for that. There are even some members of

‘the group who are thinking their

services won't be ended then, for the regional eliminations in the national contest occur on May 14 to 17 gt Flint, Mich. It would make thera very proud to have the Warren Cen:ral Band take that trip. The band got that far two years ago. The first of three fund raising dinners was held at Warren Central last night with Mr. and Mrs. G. 15. Middleton in charge. Another is scheduled for March 8 and the third will be March 31.

By TIM TIPPETT In the 19th Century the “readin’” in “readin’, ’ritin’ and ’rithmetic” wasn't done -with a hickory stick but with McGuffey textbooks. : So well thought of were those primers by the pupils that today there exists a nation-wide organization called the McGuffey Society, dedicated to the perpetuation of the morals taught by William Holmes McGuffey. The Indianapolis Chapter of this group will observe its 16th anniversary Feb. 28 with a banquet at the Y. M. C. A. A. E. Rettig, thrice president of the Indianapolis McGuffey Club, explained that the organization was formed because those pupils of nearly a century ago believe that modern education could stand a bit of McGuffeyism. Mr. McGuffey, a native of Pennsylvania, who migrated to Ohio where he was professor of language at Miami University, first began compiling his readers in 1835. Mr. McGuffey wrote his textbooks to include all-of the morals stressed by parents and Sunday School teachers. : Each story was followed by a moral. An example is the old fable

of the boy who tended sheep. Having fun with the men in the village he often shouted “Wolf, wolf,” and

The boy did this many times when there was no wolf. But one day the wolf actually did come and the boy's shouts of “Wolf, wolf” were disregarded. Mr. McGuffey pointed out this moral: “Truth itself is not believed Of one who often has deceived.” Another moral: “Respect of the Sabbath is rewarded,” was accompanied by the story of the poor barber who decided that to make ends meet he must keep his shop open on the Sabbath. One day a stranger stopped for a haircut and after much discussion convinced the barber that he should close his shop to respect the Sabbath. The stranger, it turns out, is the 19th Century version of today’s “Court of Missing Heirs,” who is seeking the heirs of a vast amount of money. The barber, it develops, is the sole heir. And that, of course, was the reward for a good deed. Before his death in 1873 at Richmond, Va., where he had become professor of moral and natural philosophy, Mr. McGuffey completed six readers. In the minds of McGuffeyites these are far advanced
