The Victory Loan Wayne county is preparing to subscribe its allotment of the Victory loan. The war has not impaired our resources nor destroyed our wealth. In fact we are richer today collectively and indiv vidually that we were four years ago. When we entered this war, the government was instructed by the American people to spare no money to attain victory. For that reason gigantic preparations were made entailing the expenditure of gigantic sums of money. Some criticism has been passed on the government because of alleged extravagant expenditures, but we must not forget that the federal officials went on the theory that the war would continue three or four years and made their plans accordingly. One of the state Liberty loan officials in this city recently used this illustration: If you were to erect a house with no menacing factor to compel haste, you would object to unnecessary expenditures for overtime and materials obtained on rush orders. But suppose an enemy was preparing to destroy you, and your house was to be a fortress against his attacks, would you spare

money rushing it to completion? This was identically the situation . that confronted the United States. Our allies told us that unless we completed the job in double quick time. Germany would cross the Atlantic and destroy us. In order to offer protection to our own country and to meet a pressing emergency, the government spent billions of dollars to rush deliveries of war materials and appliances. It is , unfair to criticize the government now and to withhold the financial support which is needs to wind up the expenditures of the war. The Chicago Journal adduces the following statistics which will be of interest in this connection: According to some statistical gentlemen who have a genius for reducing facts to a form easily grasped, the United States has seven per cent of the world's area, and six per cent of the world's population. This makes us look like rather small potatoes. But the same statisticians go on to make plain that these same United States have:

Thirty per cent of the world's wealth. Thirty-five per cent of the world's banking power. Forty per cent of the world's railways. That puts a rather different face on things. But it is only when one looks at the matter in terms of income, or production, rather than of accumulation, that he gets something like the full measure ,of this country's latent power. America produces : Twenty-five per cent of the world's wheat. Thirty per cent of the world's manufactures. Forty per cent of the world's coal. Forty per cent of the world's iron. Half the world's copper. Two-thirds of the world's petroleum. Two-thirds of the world's cotton. , Three-quarters of the world's corn. Will a country with that kind of industrial standing have any trouble in subscribing the victory loan? No! Will it welch on the task? Will it hesitate to put up the money to bring the boys home and set them to work ? Will it balk on paying the bills for the materials that helped and saved our soldiers while they were crushing the Hun?Not in a million years ! Get ready for your share of the victory loan. It's going over the top, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don't go with it. Farmers to Fight Radicals If the Non-Partisan League which flourished in North Dakota and is spreading over the Northwest believes that all farmers are enamored of its illusions, it is sadly mistaken, j lor agriculturists of the Middle West are form-!

Ing an organization of their own to combat the league. The Chicago News summarizes the purposes and activities of the corn growers of the Middle West as follows: Progressive and far seeing farmers of the corn belt Illinois, Indiana and Iowa are forming a great organization to include hundreds of thousands of their own number to battle radical ideas that are trying to gain entrance in the Mississippi Valley states, it was revealed in Chicago. The new organization will fight the encroachments of the Nonpartisan League, which dominates North Dakota and is spreading over the West, and which for two years has tried to organize the Illinois farmers, but with little success. Seeking not to organize the farmers as a class to work for class interests as against the interests of others, but rather for the purpose of promoting "Americanism" among the farmers, seeking co-operation with consumers and others with whom the farmers have to deal, asking legislation that will protect the farmer against "sharks" of various sorts, and promoting the interests of farming in general along with other constructive interests of the nation, are some of the purposes of the Illinois Agricultural Association. It has opened offices in Chicago, with one of the leading downstate college graduate farmers as secretary, and is busy organizing the farmers in every county in the state. Already sixty counties have thorough organizations, and there am twenty-five thousand members. It is expected that the membership will reach fifty thousand in a few months.

Thrift is Just Efficiency

By James H. Collins. The average family income in Great Britain is $1,080, or $236 per capita, yearly. Out of that income John Bull succeeded, during the war, in teaching two members of every British family to save and invest in war bonds and stamps, $140 each, according to an article in Printers' Ink. That is, each family saved more than one-fifth its income. A similar comparative saving by the hundred millions of people in the United States invested in Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps would add tremendously to the Nation's available supply of capital, and would transform the United States from a nation of spenders to a nation of savers. The results in Great Britain were accomplish

ed by practical efficiency suggestions how to save on gas, laundry bills, cooking, soap, coai. food, etc. A national organization known as the Salvage Club was formed, with branches everywhere, gathering up bones, paper, cans, tin foil,

shoes, clothing, and other things usually consigned to the ash can. This organization published a monthly newspaper called Salvage, printed on paper made from recovered waste materials. One week's bones from the average household was found to yield edible fat and also ingredients to make explosives for several shells. A quarter of a pound of waste paper made a charger case. Thousands of boy and girl scouts helped gather waste materials. Business concerns rooted out their old account books, letter files, and documents, selling them for waste paper. Scrap metal of all kinds was collected and sold, and one junk dealer adopted a receipt for scrap metal showing how much the person who saved and turned it in had contributed to help

make war munitions. Thrift is just efficiency after all. It goes much further than the saving of pennies or dollars. It is the saving of materials and time, which run into money very quickly.

ARCHANGEL?

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK ONE WAY TO TRAIN A BOY First get the boys' confidence. After you have this, as a matter of natural course, you have his love. With the love of a boy in your heart, you are his ruler and his master. For love is the king of the world. Make a boy feel that you have a heart exactly like his that the same thrills that touch his, also touch yours. You cannot train a boy in a man's world. You have got to go , down to the boy's world romp and smile and play with him there, and be a boy yourself with him. The simplest chamber of charm in all this world is that little place in a boy's heart touched by the belief of a mother or father in open and frank trust. And you cannot get into that wonderful chamber through any threat or creation of fear. No man ever built a good boy by physical punishment or mental suggestion of fear. The most honest proposition in the world is the ordinary boy. He is quick to recognize error, for he is innately square. He thinks in simple terms and you must meet him on that plane. And when you do, in case of his doing wrong, your belief in him will do more than anything else on earth, to teach him to do right. The falsest philosophy ever perpetrated is that old one of "spare the rod and spoil the child." If you want to build a boy into a man, teach him the things that make a man and every ounce of bullying within the feeling of a boy is just that much taken out of him as he grows Into manhood. Never deceive a boy no matter on what topic he may Inquire. Be as frankly honest with him as you know how in order to get the truth to h!m, and if you tell him that he cannot understand, just yet, he'll trust you until he gets old enough to get your meaning. The ordinary boy is the greatest psychologist in the world without knowing it. He is shrewder than the shrewdest man because he is so entirely straightforward. You can't be too good to a boy!

Dinner -... Stories

Bobby was enjoying the roses in grandmother's garden. All went well until he chanced to poke his wee freckled nose deep into the heart of a blossom which sheltered a great buzzing bee. With a howl of terror, Bobby fled to his grandmother's skirts. When his sobs were quieted he explained: "Them are very wild roses in your garden, grandmother. One of them gr-r-rowled at me dreffully."

Food and the Bolshevist Advance

Good Evening! By ROY K. MOULTON

"OUT FOR LUNCH." We often wonder if people do anything else these days than eat. We have been trying to get a certain man on the phone for three months, and nine times he has been "in conference" and twenty-seven times "out to lunch." He has been "out to lunch" at 10 o'clock in the morning and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, being a man, we take it, with a ninety horsepower appetite. Finally, we evolved a beautiful plan. It so happened that we knew the janitor of the building in which this hardy trencherman has his office. We decided to find out at once whether this man was putting one over on us. We would ask the friend janitor. Bubbling over with excitement, we called the switchboard in the building at 3 o'clock one afternoon and asked for the janitor. "Sorry," said the girl, "but the janitor is out to lunch."

One astute observer remarks that no matter what happens in Paris, it will be a hard job to do away with secret diplomacy in bone-dry Washington as long as the foreign embassies remain wet.

From the New York Times. THE peasants of Northern Bavaria, apparently unconvinced of the benefits of a Soviet rule brought, in by groups of city workmen, have declared a food blockade against Munich and Augsburg until the Soviets abdicate. If they stick to their guns they will probably bring Bavarian Bolshevism to a speedy end, for everywhere the introduction of Bolshevism has been .facilitated by the apathy of a foodless public and its response to Bolshevist promises of better living conditions. So Bolshevism which brought not plenty, but .".ctual starvation, worse food conditions than before, might not last long In a community where it has just been established. On the other hand, the Bolshevist loaders have everywhere been inspired by a fanatical zeal which gave them a great advantage over indifferent or lukewarm opponents. Bolshevism is their religion as well as their means of livelihood and their pathway to power, so they will fight hard. If the peasant parties hold together they mayj

win, but if they split into factions, n some oi tneir aaherents are tempted by high prices to break the block ade, the Bolshevik! may beat them. And once given an opportunity to consolidate their power, they may be

counted on to retain It in Munich as they have in M03

cow, by sloztng such food as there Is, distributing it in

comparative plenty to their supporters, and leaving their Kntagonists to starve.

The allied evacuation of Odessa apparently means that

we have given up trying to hold the Ukraine, with Its wide and fertile grain fields. But for the last two yearn the Ukraine has been swept over by contending armies not very large, to be sure, but destructive and has been disturbed by bitter peasant risings. The Germans took out a good deal of grain last year, more was destroyed to preAent It from falling Into their hands; and conditions hav9 been so disturbed that It Is a question how much has been sown for this year's crop. But, however small may be tho gain to the Bolshevik!, there can be no disguising the loss to the allies. Once again, as on so many other fronts, we have sent Inadequate forces against the enemy, which have fought gallantly so long as they could, .but have in the end been driven out by superior numbers. Each repulse heightens the morale of the Red army and Inspires the sympathizers with the Bolshevlkl In other countries. We have been "hitting soft", as Colonel Roosevelt used to fay; we have been fighting the Bolshevlkl hard enough to annoy them but not hard enough to hurt them. j

That Hungarian-Bolshevik uprising may fail to make a long run, on account of the poor stage management by the Germans. What will become of the old boys who have reached 117 years and have taken a drink every day of their lives? Now they must look forward to living forever, if the prohibition arguments are good.

Memories of Old

The colonel was known to be of very choleric and uncertain temper and Augustus was extremely nervous when invited to dine at the old boy's rooms. He determined, however, to be prepared to meet any situation tactfull. The sitting' room was on the first floor and, sure enough, when it came to carving the roast, a blunt knife upset the colonel's equilibrium. He strode to the door and flung the knife downstairs after the servant. Augustus with great presence of mind, seized the roast and threw that down, too. '"What the deuce do you mean by that-" spluttered the old boy as soon as ho was able to speak. "I'm very sorry, sir," said Gussie cooly. "1 er I fancied you were going to dine downstairs.

When Was First School Opened in Richmond?

The first schoolmaster of Richmond was a young man, name unknown, who gave work In reading and writonly, to the children of the very first pioneers of the village. Even these two subjects were too much for him, however, and he soon left Richmond. His school was located In the south part of town. Later Atticus Siddall taught school in the city, and In 1822 the teacher was Nathan Smith, of New England, who was considered a very good teacher, and patronized by everybody. The house In which he taught was a onestory frame, which stood for many years afterward, at the corner of Pearl and Walnut, now Fifth and South A. In this schoolhouse originated an institution which helped to educate the pioneers almost as much as their schools; a debating society. John Finley, author of "The Hoosler Nest." Dwight S. Anthony, James Liston, a Dr. Pugh, and Nathan Smith, were the charter members. Finley, considered the village poet, wrote a satire upon them. "D. S. A., D. S. A. though ycu havi little to say. It is always a pleasure to hear it; When you shoot in the dark Though you don't hit the mark. You're apt to approach very near it. James Liston, James Liston, no wonder you're hissed on. Your skull is a3 thick as sole leather; Your logical talents Have been weighed in the balance And found to be light as a feather. Dr. Pugh, Dr. Pugh, pray what business have you To harrangue from polemical rostrums For in truth I declare, You had better prepare Your physics, your drugs, and your nostrums. Nathan Smith, Nathan Smith, your rhetorical pith, I shall neither blame nor applaud. For in truth I must own That I let you alone. For fear of your ferrule and rod. "In conclusion, I must give the writer a rub," says the young poet. "Rhymer Jack, Rhymer Jack, you had better retract, Or deny at least half you have said. Ten chances to one, you will pay for your fun. And 'tis well if they don't break your head."

Webster Man Is Seriously Hart in Auto Accident John W. Willis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Willis of Webster, was seriously injured Friday afternoon near Greenville, Ohio, when one of the wheels of the car in which he was riding with Dolbert Jay. son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jay, of Webster, came off, throwing Willis out on the railroad track. His nose was broken, an eyelid was torn and he was badly bruised about the face. Jay was pinned beneath the car, but sustained no injuries. Both were taken to Grenville where medical aid was given. They were brought to Richmond Saturday and taken from here to Webster.

F. B. TUTTLE Frank B. Tuttle. 1700 North Fifth street, Terre Haute, says: "Pepgen,

has given me more relief than any other medicine I ever took, and for that reason I am glad to indorse It. It 13 worth many times Its price to any person who has stomach or kidney trouble. "For fifteen years there was hardly a day that I felt exactly right. My stomach was out of order and that affected every organ in my body, especially my kidneys. I didn't allow myself to cat meat more than once a day. The only reason I ate meat was because I needed it to keep up my strength I certainly didn't relish it. I was troubled a great deal with gas formations in my stomach, and then at other times my food would sour and I would be annoyed with hot, bitter fluids coming up Into my throat and mouth that almost nauseated me. "My nerves became shattered and I couldn't sleep soundly. Many nights when I have been unusually tired, I have gone to bed quite early so as to get a good nights rest and not been able to go to sleep until long past midnight, consequently, I arose In the morning about as tired and worn out as when I went to bed. At other times I have been unable to sleep on account of pains in my back. "I knew of several people here In Terre Haute, who were relieved by Pepgen, and so I decided to try It for myself. I have taken it for several weeks and it is hard to realize how much it has relieved me. I can now eat anything without bad after effects. "I sleep soundly and have not been kept awake one hour since I have been taking Pepgen either by reason of excessive nervousness or pains In my back." Weak, nervous, run-down men and women who need better digestion, more strength and a toning up of the system, may learn more of Pepgen at Thistlethwaites or from any other first-class drug store anywhere.
