TEACHING OF HISTORY

Those who know anything at all of history must realize that the world is traveling precisely the path it took after all great wars, and is repeating the same mistake. After the overthrow of Napoleon the governments of Europe were deeply impressed with the necessity of form Ing some sort of international organization that would safeguard the results of the allied victory and prevent future wars. An honest effort was made by those responsible for the holy alliance, but that alliance failed, not because it constituted a league of nations, but because it was wholly in the hands of rulers, most of whom were reactionary, and haters of liberty. It was felt by the wisest men that the least that could be done was to keep alive the alliances ah between the powers that had broken the Napoleonic despotism. But ultimately conditions drifted back to the old status. Separate and often secret alliances were

To All Users of Binder Twine As binder twine has been high for the past two years it has worked a hardship on the farmers as well as the merchants. For this reason we have concluded tc conduct our twine business on a different plan this year. To all of our customers in Jasper county who place their orders for the amount of twine they will want for the coming harvest and will take the twine from the car the day it arrives and pay cash for same we agree to handle this twine for 50c per hundred over the wholesale cost f. o. b. Rensselaer, Indiana. If you should order twine direct in 1,000 to 5,000-pound lots you would pay more than the 50c that we charge for handling. There is more than 50c per hundred difference in a 30,000-pound car and small shipments. There is also one-half less freight in car-, load shipments than in local shipments, therefore if you will co-op-erate with us you reap the most benefit. We have two reasons for selling twine this way: FIRST —We want to serve our customers who have stood by us for these years that we have been in business. SECOND —As we sell the machines that use the twine we are interested In selling first-class twine in order that the machines may work in a satisfactory manner. You can have your choice of Deering or McCormick twine. Deering is put up in 81-3-pound balls. Deering and McCormick Twines are considered the highest grade twines on the market. We are booking orders every day and we would like for you to attend to this at once and let us have your order for your needs for thin harvest In case you fail to get your order in in time we will have twine on hand in our warehouse but will be compelled to charge you 1c more per pound to pay for handling.

formed, the balance of power system was set up again, international rivalries and suspicions revived, armaments began to increase, and even when there was no war people lived in constant terror of it. There was a long period of peace in Europe, except for revolutionary outbreaks and the movements to suppress them, but this was due to the fact that the nations were impoverished and exhausted, and sick and weary of fighting. But 40 years after Waterloo came the Crimean war, and since then there has been enough fighting in the world to satisfy—if not to sicken —the most bloodthirsty. The situation now is much worse, and infinitely more dangerous than it was after the Napoleonic wars. For the whole of Europe is in a state of unsettlement and disorder, and there are no strong governments in control. There may be no great war for many years, but there can be no such assurance of immunity as there was a hundred years ago. Yet we are proposing to leave things at loose ends, and to trust once more to the old palliatives. Men are again talking of the balance of pqwer —with America left out —and are mole-blind to the most glaringly apparent need of the time, that is international co-operation in behalf of peace, and a continuation of the alliance and associations which won the war for freedom. It is, of course, a very great tragedy. One would not have dreamed a year ago that such a result was within the bounds of possibility. It was assumed as a matter of course that we were going to safeguard the happy results of the war, one of which was supposed to be an enduring peace. The world was to be delivered, not only from war but the fear of it. Ever since 1870 France had been living in daily dread, and during all that time Germany was felt to be a menace to the world. Fear was the prevailing sentiment throughout Europe. The great war was, as all thought, one tc “end war." But how is it today? We have not only refused to go into the league of nations, but are every day drawing further and

further away from those great nations which for four years stood like a rock against a savage despotism. There is said to be no chance for the Anglo-French-American treaty, no chance —If things continue to go as they have been going—for enduring friendship between us and our friends. We shoilld think that the men responsible for this catastrophe would be troubled by very bad- dreams. ( But the outstanding element is dense stupidity—if not (hat, a criminal recklessness in the way of taking chances. A wonder* ful opportunity to serve the world and ourselves has been rejected. And a miserable partisanship is responsible for it all. —Indianapolis News.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt. Sterrett) State Superintendent L. N. Hines and Governor Goodrich have jointly issued an appeal to all county superintendents to solicit every school child to make a contribution of from 1 cent to a dime to do for France today what French children did for America in 1879. It was then that the schools of France contributed towards the fund that paid for the Statute of Liberty that was placed at the entrance to New York harbor. Now American school Chilean reciprocate this expression ot gratitude by contributing to a fund to be used in erecting a shaft on the battlefield of the Marne where 50,000 soldiers were buried in a heroic struggle to prevent the Germans from, entering Paris. This marks the nearest approach the Germans made during the great world war to Paris. This will appeal to French children in France as the “Statute of Liberty” appeals to American children in America. Each school child will be asked to make a contribution ranging from 1 cent to a dime which will be collected by each teacher and forwarded to the .county superintendent who will then forward the aggregate from Jasper county to Indianapolis. A circular letter of similar content has been mailed to every teacher in Jasper county from the county superintendent. This is a grand piece of unfinished work in Jasper county that should awaken a genuine admiration for those heroic French people and at the same time stimulate a feeling of fellowship for the nation that has always given us a helping hand at a time when*such was most needed. The teachers of Jasper county are privileged to give from a quarter to a half-day upon the proper presentation of this fine lesson of reciprocated Franco-American admiration in some sort of school program. It is not important as to what sort of device the teachers may use to get the results. But it is very necessary that after whatever is done the American boys and, girls should have a finer and more exalted notion of our long-time friend and recent ally on the other side of the Atlantic.

MARINE SERGEANT FOUGHT FOR BREATH

Was So Run Down He Could Hardly Dress Himself —in Perfect Health » Now, He says. "It has taken only one bottle Oa Tanlac to put me back on my feet feeling like a new man,” jaid Alfred A. Wells, of 628 North Eight St., Richmond, Va., a sergeant in the Marine Corps, stationed at the recruiting office in Richmond. “I was in a bad fix when I began taking Tanlac,” continued Mr. Wells, "and I was so weak I could hardly dress myself of mornings. 1 had such a poor appetite,that I did not care whether I went to the table or not, and the little I did eat disagreed with me. The pains in my stomach were something awful and gas would press up around my heart until- I thought I would smother and I would just have to fight to get my breath. At times the gas would cause shooting pains In the region of my heart, and I would get so dizzy I would have to hold on to something to keep from falling over. I was badly constipated and could get but little relief from laxatives. I was so nervous that the least unexpected noise would excite me, and it was next to impossible for me to get any sleep. I would roll and tumble and would be uncomfortable in every position I tried, and when morning came you can imagine how completely tired-out I was. “This was the condition I was in when I started taking Tanlac, but, it is- a fact, I began to feel better after the first few doses, and I kept on improving so fast that by the time I finished my first bottle I was absolutely in perfect health. I eat anything I please and as much as I please and am never troubled with indigestion in any form. I am entirely free of nervousness and I am no longer constipated. When I go to bed now, <1 sleep all night long as sound as a child and of mornings I just simply feel fine. I certainly have cause to praise Tanlac and I give it my hearty endorsement, without hesitating one minute.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Lr.rsh & .Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatifield by Simon Fendig.—Advt.

Obliging.

“I told Jack 1 would like to see him try to kiss me.” “What did he do?” “Well, Jack always tries to do what I like.”

Too Dangerous.

“An aviator cannot brag of his family.” “Why not?” "Because in his case there is little cause for boasting of descent.”

Naturally.

“Why did you advertise that rank play of yours as a howling success?” “It was one when we tried It in the dog towns.”

RETURN OF ROADS PLEASES FARMERS

Urge Policy to Insure Best Service at Lowest Cost Consistent With Fair Returns. OPPOSE NATIONALIZATION. Representative Agricultural Organiza- . tions and Rural Press State Farm-, era' Attitude Toward Railroads. Want Private Operation. Private ownership of the railroads under a policy of government regulation which will Insure the best possible service at the lowest cost * consistent with/fair returns on money Invested in thcpo Is favored by representative farmer organizations throughout the country. This policy also Is supported generally by agricultural newspapers, which state emphatically that the farmers are opposed not only to government ownership of railroads, but also to all nationalization plans. In a letter to the members of the United States Senate T. C. Atkeson, Washington representative of the National Grange, which is said to be the largest organization of its kind in the world, representing more than 1,000,000 farm owners in the United States, states that the agricultural Interests of the country approve of private ownership of the railroads and further declares that persons purporting to speak for the farmers in support of government ownership are neither farmers nor representatives of any considerable number of farmers. Favor Private Operation. “The Grange,” says Mr. Atkeson, quoting the official action of his organization, “approves of the general principles of railroad legislation now pending in Congress to return the railroads to their owners, to bring about the reorganization of the railroad companies Into strong systems with capitalization based on actual value, and to create a control commission which may enforce the superior Interest of the public to that of any other interest in the operation of railroads as common carriers and effectively protect the public against exploitation or injustice.” Many state and sectional agricultural organizations take a similar stand. Immediately after the National Grange expressed its attitude toward the railroad question the American Farm Bureau, meeting In Chicago, voted for private operation, and the National Farmers’ Congress, in session at Hagerstown, Md., voiced like sentiments. The New York State Federation of County Farm Bureau Organizations and the Indiana Federation of Farmers went beyond that and joined the Grange In repudiating the alleged farmer representatives in Washington, who said they spoke for an “overwhelming majority of the farmers.” Urge Reasonable Returns. The railroad policy favored by the New York State Federation of County Farm Bureau Organizations was stated in the following resolution : “Whereas, There have been conflicting statements published regarding the attitude of farmers upon the question of the future ownership of railways; therefore be It “Resolved, That the New York State Federation of County Farm Bureau Associations, representing 70,000 members, in annual session at Syracuse, N. Y., December 19, 1919, hereby Indorses the action of the American Farm Bureau Federation In urging Congress to promptly return the railways to their owners under such conditions as will Insure reasonable returns on the value of the property and reasonable rates of transportation throughout the country.” ’ Views of Farmer Papers. The American Agriculturist states editorially that the farmers are “dead set against” the “scheme to enmesh the farmers in the web of radicalism.” The Pennsylvania Farmer, discussing the general demand for private operation of the railroads, says: “It is especially true of farmers, In spite of the declaration of a few would be leaders to the Contrary.” The StockmanFarmer adds: “Farmers almost unanimously approve the return of the railroads and the express companies to their owners. The reason Is that farmers, as well as other business men, want service of these institutions, and they cannot get such service under public operation as they can get under the operation of corporations, which have a direct financial Interest in performing it”
