MR, STANGBURY ~MAKES A SPEECH

ADDRESS GIVEN AT PERRY TOWNSHIP FARM FEDERATION MEET- . ING LAST THURSDAY

Subject Handled Was Relation That the Merchant and Farmer Bear To Community

It was a very interesting meeting held by the Perry township Farm Federation at the Centralized schocl building last Thursday night with Président Jacgb Beckner presiding. Among the speakers were Superintendent Hendrickson who handled the subject “Relation of the School to the Community.” J. Warren Moore discussed the “Relation of the Farm Federation to the Grange and Kindred. Organizations. C. R, Stansbury had for his subject the “Relation of the Farmer and Merchant to the Community.” The discussions were very interesting and instructive. Mr. Stansbury. spoke as follows: I ain sure it affords me great pleasure to meet and mingle with the merchant and the business man and woman of the farm, the folks that live close to Natures heart. The farm is the place where you get the sustainence of dife, fresh from Natures garden and pen. The farmer,sometimes, looks on his life, as if he had been placed in a garden of thorns in place of the Garden of Eden. But when you come to take an inventory of'ydur life your property, your holdings, and ‘compare them with the man- that toils in the shop or at his trade, you will- find the larger percent of happiness comes to those who live on the farm. The average toiler in the faeétory, if he has his steady employment, gets about $l,OOO per year. The. average mechanic such as the painter, carpenter, or mason working at his trade, is less than $700,00 per year. Then, with everything to buy, and in most cases, rent to pay, also fuel to buy, and by the end of the year they have just existed. Whereas the mah on the farm enjoys the pleasures of life, above the average family and sometimes, at the end of the Yyear, you have a balance to your credit in the bank.

Now, as we come to the relation of the farmer and business man to the community, may I ask; how many of you own stock in the Mier State Bank how many of you own stock in the Citizens Bank: how many of you own stock in the Farmers and Merchants Trust Co., how many of you own stock in the Farmers Elevator Co., how many of you own stock in the Creamery, how many of you are mempers of the churches in this city, how many of you are members of the different lodges of the city, how many of you send children to the schools of this; city? You all pay faxes to keep up the Public Library. You all pay taxes to build and maintain good roads to your city. You are just as important a factor to the city as any business or professional man. I would rot draw any distinction between town and country. I would wipe out that so called immaginary line and would call it a community, where all the people would be called merchants and businessmen. The carpenter lis a business man the bricklayer the plasterer the plumber. The farmer is not only a merchant but a mechanic, as .you have and do heep all your machinery in order, You market your produce, wheat, corn, live, stock, butter eggs hay chickens, potatoes, and vegetables. All the necessities of life are raised and placed on the market by you. So, we are only filling the place, God has planned for each of ns. to fill. =

The farmer and his family buy better than 65 per cent of all goods bought in the city. Therefore, in reviewing the relations of the farmer and business man to the community, the farmer is of the most importance. The merchant will assemble his wares, but if he fails to give proper service, he cannot stay in bhusiness. You will not buy of him. ~He must keep on his shelves the goods you want, and at the right prices, for all roads lead to other towns, if you cannot get the service you need, :

We, as farmers and business men, owe to each other a fair return on our life’s effort and it must not be in any selfish gpirit but, with a brotherly love, for and between each other, God has placed man here, in His Garden of Eden, to be better men and women, that, when our life’s work is done on earth, that we will be called to our reward in Heaven, 1 am stre there are too many people ‘that depreciate their value and importance to themselves and community. I am sure a laboring man. depreciates his value to a community. “We all have the advantages of selfeducation, all the books, papers and magazines we can read. We have the help of men from Purdue. We have the phone, the radio the auto,

'‘Five names were brought up in political cirecles today in-discussion of the appointment. : There is a possibility that Governor Jackson may resign and have Lieutenant Governor Van Orman name him senator after \.’an Orman assumes the governorship. - Politicians who hayve beén speculating on the senatorship have repeatedly turned to this possibility. Governor Jackson it has been known has had the senatorial bee in his bonnet for some time.

Adivsers have told him that his record as governor thus far would assure him of success if he made the race. | Albert J. Beveridge who was defeated by Ralston in the election of 1922 has the support of strong republican papers for the appointment, though nothing has been said openly vet. : May Be Mobbed. ; Mob violence with threats of lynching for the unknown person who attacked blind Eva Lantz 25 at her country home near Akron and committeed an assault, ' The girl is in a state of collapse at the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lantz on their farm three miles northwest of- Akron. She was found in sem-conscious condition her clothing torn. : . Laboring in the yard in front of the Lantz home while her parents were absent for 25 minutes visiting at a neighboring farm the girl was seized dragged into the home and assaulted.

He now retains his food rests fairly well and on visiting him this morning we got some of his old jolly laughs out of him. He has the highest praise for the Goshen hospital and the, many nurses whose care he is under.—G. W. Kinnison.

Mrs, Daisy Ewift of Fort Wayne suffered fractures 'of hoth legs and injuries to her neck when she was struck by an automobile driven by Mrs. H. A St John. . : ‘

all these. things to bring us in touch with the worlds activities. The one thing lacking is self confidence, to take hold and to grasp the things our hearts and hands find to do. We,must push and pull ourselves out of that rut of self-conscieniousness, and take hold of the bigger and better things of community life. The Federdtion, likek the Chamber of Commerce is a place to discuss things of importance to the business life of the community. And I want to commend you for the interest you are taking in the Farmers Federation, and the Club Work the Y. M, C. A. as it is working through Mr. Nord our county Secretary and would suggest that you give him your support for building better boy und girl life in our community, Assuring you of a high appreclat'ion of your personal friendship and wishing you success in all the undertakings you lput forth in thé Farmiers Federation in doing big things for our community.

RALSTON HISTORY Briet Outline of Record ol Indiana’s Deceased United States Senator . Samuel M, Ralston When Samuel M. Ralston finished his term as governor of Indiana on January 1 1917 he said he was through with public life and went back to the practice of law. " He managed to stay with his law books and cases undisturbed for five vears. : Then in 1922 the democrats of Indiana decided he was the man to beat Albert J. Beveridge former senatori from Indiana and one of the best campaigners the state has éver seen in. the race for the senatorship. . | Ralston went at the task rathernn-l ostentatiously and surprised even his‘ friends by the big majority he r_oll-1 ed up. - ‘ Ralston was born in Tuscarawa county, Ohio December 1 1857 the son of John and Sarah Scott Ralston When,l he was eight years old his parents moved to Spencer Owen county Indiana where he grew to man hood, working on a farm in summers and attending the short winter terms of an old-fashioned country school. : L.ater he taught schocl for seven vears. His first school was famed because the pupils were so unmanageble they had driven séveral teachers off the job, After his patient attempts to preserve order failed, Ralston called the ringieader of ihe Broublemakers, a big strapping country youth larger than the teacher himself up before the school and whipped him in a standup fight. Ralston ruled the school from that day, ‘ Funds saved from his salary as a teacher at last enabled him io enter the Indiana Normal college at Danville where he was graduated at the age of twenty-seven. : Returning to Spencer Ralsten read law in the office of the county barrister and was admitted to ‘the bar. He took up the practice of law in Lebanon where he remained until his election as governor in the fall of 1912.

The Ralston administration was marked by a big reduction in the state debt and the beginning of the construction of Indiana’s system of good roads. . His intervention in serious labor strikes in Indianapolis resulted in an amiable settlement. . The power.shown by Ralston in his campaign against Beveridge brought his name to the front as one of the “presidential possibilities” for the democratic nomination in the 1924 race. "Shoots at Wife tries Suicide.

Martial troubles caused Mike Horvath of South Bend to shoot himself early Wednesday night after an unsuccessful: attempt to kill his wife according .to police. 7 . - Horvath’s wife is suing him for divorce and has secured a- restraining order to keep him away from her home.

Despite the injunction police have been called several times in the last few weeks by the wife to protect her from her husband’ when he became threatening in his efforts at reconcilation, . " He came to the Horvath home and when he was refused admittance fired two shots through-the front door at Mrs. Horvath.

She dropped to the floor and, ran into the kitchen. Her husband apparently thinking he had shot her went into the yard and shot himself in the head. :
