Bound For Pacific Island. : ‘A tiny tropical island far south in the Pacific will 'be the temporary home of Leland John James of "Ligopnier, Ind., who left this training camp recently fer a tour of duty in Guam, He will probably remain .abroad for a year or longer befere returning to the United States. Leland is 18 years old and was born in Ligonier. He lived at the home of his mother Mrs, Lottie James Rural Route 1 Ligonier before he joined the Marine corps at South Bend last ‘January. While at the South Caroling camp the local boy was taught the drills, customs, and dut: ies of a marine. When a detail was organized here for duty in Guam; Leland was one of the marines selected. ' Guam was ceded to the United States shortly after the SpanishAmerican War. U, 8. Marines are ‘stationed there, guarding the naval ‘base and living amid surroundings typical of the South Sea Isles. Supplies are furnished them regularly, while moving pictures, athletic sports and entertainments help to vary the regular military routine. _

Soldiers Get Pensions. ; Pension increases by the national congress recently, will be enjoyed by between seven and eight thousand disabled veterans of the Spanish American War in Indiana. Many Hoosfer survivors of the war or their widows applied for pension increases last month. : s Twenty dollars a month is the least that will be paid in the future, as compared with $l2 for the same clas, sification in the past. Other increaseg were $l5 to $25, $lB to $3O, $24 te $4O and $3O to ssso. When the former soldiers reach 62 years of age, they receive $2O monthly’ without showing any disability, and at 68 they receive $4O and at 75, the rate is raised to $5O . The widows of veterans, who formerly were paid $2O a month, will receive $3O. Orphans of the- former fighters will be allotted $6 instead of $4 as in the past, the payments being made to the widow. The law provides that the veterans be cared for regardless of whether they were disabled while in the service or after being discharged. Modern Woodnien, to Celebrate.

WHY GOVERNMENT PRICE - FIXING WON'T WORK One of the most persistent fallacies is government price-fixing on competitive commodities. There is already government price-fixing in cemmodities and services where competition plays no part in price determination. These are railway transpor tation, electricity, gas, telephone and telegraph, and so on. Here govern‘ment price-fixing is solely to pretect the consumer. There are two fatal objections to government price-fixing for agricultural products, which yepresent the most competitive busimess in the world. These are, first, that it will not work; second, that it is always done for the consumer as against the producer. ¢ Governfmen%::em for agricultural products Would work if at the same time the government regulated wages, profits, middlemen’s margins, the production of all commodities and the rationing of all consumers. In short, if the population were enlisted in one vast army, directed and rationed, price-fixing would work, but otherwise not. If the price is fixed.on the wheat the farmer sells, then he cannot keep on producing wheat fif wages or the cost of harvesting machinery rise, or it the cost of other material he buys rises. So the nmext step would be the fixation of other prices, and yet other prices. The United States government fixed the price of wheat but onee in our history, and then it was to benefit consumers, not producers. The gow ernment might, in an emergency, fix some agricultural prices for the pur pose of elevating such prices.’ Such action would inevitably and speedily lead to outery from city consumers and a consequent reversal of pelicy. Indeed, the comsumers, not.the producers, are most likely to demand and secure food price regulatiom by government authorities. The farmer, therefore, who favors any form of governmental pricefixing is working against his own interests. He is putting his head into a noose.—James E. Boyle, Professor of Rural Economics, Cornell University, in the BaskerFarmer.

I'm sure. of that,” Mrs. Norris said. “Bvery- ‘ body knows that bonds are safe—" | . “My dear, some bonds are safe and some are not.

I other words, it offers a certain asset as security that it will return your money to you ‘on the date the bomd matures, It: agrees to pay you a ogrtain sum each ‘'year for.the use of your money, usually something between five and eight per cent.

S ® ° We're on the air again with a Message!, The big objective of every tire buyer is to get long-service tires. In recent years the tire industry has made some remarkable discoveries about tires—particularly the Goodrich Company. By laying the cords on\gifferent angles tire strength is increased. The tire can - endure more. | It is less likely to be stone bruised or to blow out. And by different tread designs the wear of the tread can be almost doubled. Goodrich has taken full advantage of these scientific findings. The service life of a Goodrich Tire today is positively amazing—com- - pared with the service standards of a few years back. i ' Our advice to you is: If you want to tune in on tire economy come in and “buy these long-running Goodrich Silvertpwns. . , o i : dasokyont - o o e
