Something for. Nothing Merely passing Blue Sky Laws is not going to protect inexperienced investors against loss of money. Theoretically such laws are supposed to prevent the sale of stocks of companies organized solely for swindling purposes, or of poorly conceived concerns that are nothing more or less than rank gambles. Actually, however, the sw2tdling companie are finding loop holes in the law ' and the gambling propositions are blossoming as ever. And many of both kinds are boasting tSie endorsements of the Blue Sky laws of such 'states as Illinois. Thy; successful sale of such stocks is based essentiat'y on two factors ; ignorance on the part of most people of what fundamentally constitutes a safe or a speculative investment, and then tha.t greatest weakness of human nature to which aV humaniy is heir, the belief that you can get something for nothing. This litter factor is the promotion-stock salesman main reliance for separating you from your savings. It is back of his statement of the wonderful growth and. profits of the Goodrich Tire comply when he is selling you stock in his new tire concern. He captures you with the tale of Goodrich v accomplishment and your imagination pictures, the new concern duplicating the great success and bringing you sudden riches, something for nothing. Your judtfvnent is blinded. You do not inquire how maoy years were required to build up the Goodrich success, nor how much money was required to finance it. You do not realize that the new company, last in the field, will have to compete against the long experience of the managers who have made the Goodrich success as well as against ito great resources. Sudden riches, impossible profits, something for nothing, blind your judgment and away goes your money. Meantime all around you those who know the story of the pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow is & fable, go serenely on their
way accumulating competences out of the conservative investments you ignore. Some, harder working students of the science of investment, even work their competences into riches. Wake up. See things as they are. Quit selling yourself to rainbow propositions Quit being the something for nothing, the meal ticket for lobster and champagne dinners for slick tongued stock salesmen and scheming and unscrupulous promoters. Governor Goodrich arid the Victory Loan An appeal to show the world that American patriotism is an enduring characteristic of the people of this country, and that we can fight the battles of peace as well as those of war, has been issued by Governor Goodrich in lending his wholehearted support to the Victory Liberty Loan. His statement follows: "We used to hear a great deal in the earlyyear of the world war about German efficiency and German thoroughness. These two qualities as applied to the Teutonic system became almost household words, and held the uninitiated somewhat in awe. ' "Then it came America's turn and our boys in the field and bur citizens back home proved to the surprise of the world that Uncle Sam has an efficiency and thoroughness unequalled by anything in the world. "For .these two qualities in America do not depend entirely on machine-like training and "narrowness of vision. They receive their inspiration from a spirit, born and bred in the new world, a spirit with which Europe is but little acquainted. "Our boys in khaki finished the German army in France, but the job is not quite complete so far as the nation is concerned. There remains one more task for the folks back home,
the task of putting over the Fifth and Victory, Liberty loan to a successful conclusion. I
"It was on the promise of this Fifth great Loan that the funds were raised which put the finishing touches on the Kaiser and his war machine and I am sure that the American people are going to make good the pledge by over-subscribing this final Liberty loan. "We have got to do this to prove that our new-made reputation for efficiency and thoroughness is permanent and that our splendid patriotism is not a flash in the pan. ' "I know that in Indiana we are going to do our part and I am sure that each and every state in the Union is determined not to falter in this last patriotic campaign of the great world war." The Departure of Aliens Contrasted with former years our immigration records show a remarkable reversal. Alien residents of the United States are going back to their native lands. A gradual increase from 331 a day in November to 1,131 on April 1 is a signal commentary on the exodus. The savings bank section of the American Bankers association says that more than 1,300,000 foreign born residents either have gone back or are preparing to return to their native countries. The association estimates that they will carry with them nearly $4,000,000,000, an equivalent of four-fifths of the total currency in circulation and in reserve in the United States before the war. The departure of these aliens will be felt in two directions : First, they will create an easening of the labor market, making it easier for men to obtain work and at the same time presenting a problem to the manufacturer; secondly, the removal of $4,000,000,000 will take that much money, a part of which ordinarily would have been spent here, out of this country to enrich the national wealth of the native countries of these people. The exodus suggests again the necessity of a thorough Americanization of persons who are permitted to land on American soil. If these millions came to this country merely to better their material condition without giving to this country anything in return, they are undesirable citizens and men and women who never should have been permitted to pass the immigration offices. America should insist that the men and women who come to this country to take advantage of our industrial and business opportunities remain in this country so that the nation will have the benefit of their productive ability as well as the use of their savings to augment and fortify our own national resources. It behooves us , to amend the immigration and naturalization laws so that pressure will be brought to bear upon the alien to become a full fledged citizen of this Republic at once. An educational campaign, teaching them the true meaning of democracy and the responsibility which the alien assumes when he becomes a citizen of the Republic should be waged with relentless persistence.
When Was Wayne County's Boundary Line Set?
Wayne, Knox and Saint Clair coun- j ties, the first two In Indiana, and the; last in Illinois, form the three parent j
counties or inaiana lermuiy, is now divided into Indiana,. Illinois and Michigan. Vnvn rmintv itself, instead Of its
narrow limits of 400 square miles, j
once embraced almost everymiug north of it to the lakes, the territory which is now northern Indiana and the state of Michigan. That was in 1800, before the territory was settled. As the population increased, the counties contracted, and new ones were formed rapidly. In 1811, Wayne county extended from Franklin county north alonK the Ohio state boundary, to the line of purchase made at Fort Wayne in 1809, to Fort
Recovery. In 1817, in The Western Gazetteer or Emigrants' directory, the boundaries of the county were given as "The state of Ohio on the east, on the south by the county of Franklin, cn the west and north by -Indian lands." Two years before, in 1815, it was one of 13 counties. Its population then however, was already 6,290 out of a total of 70,000 in the territory.
Good Evening! By ROY K. MOULTON
THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY. TALK LET US NEVER EXCUSE One fact remains that after a thing is done, it is done. Nothing on earth can change it. You can start over again. You can re-construct, re-shape, re-mold but what you have already done is finished. The Mistake Business Is a great deal similar to the Excuse Business. The Mistake that's made could never be made no Mistake if you were to live a million years. So mark up the Mistakes as past business and go on, remembering that the man or woman never lived that did not Mistake in smaller or greater degree. But let us never Excuse. Sometimes I think it is really a more spurred-up thing to face a blunder than all the damage created by the blunder Itself. I really believe that, the Devil hates the Excusers beyond all others. Face the broad facts of life. Be square with time. Pass with it in accord and agreement sort of linked with it in co-operation, as a string of beads is linked compactly. Excuses take time and they tear to pieces constructive ideas. Just a single excuse is liable to color the good in a whole transaction just the same as a drop of ink will color a whole tub of clear water. So Try and never Excuse! Another thing because of the blundering idea of Excusing, an Excuse is always exaggerated. And besides, it is so much easier to forget when you make no Excuse whatsoever. Let the other fellow do the excusing, if there !s any to be done.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS
My wife is a most remarkable woman. I have never told you much about her, but we might as well all be acquainted, as we are all friendly and everything. She can knock twenty years off her age any time, and do it the slight expenditure of $18, which is something less than one dollar a year, or about the same rate it costs to get a player piano on the instalment plan. I am younger than my wife by three days, which has always been a source of great amusement to myself at dinner parties, funerals and other social events in our neighborhood, where people talk about other people's ages and pass cute little quips and bonbons. For fourteen years I have been just living on those three days. Well, the other day she went to a hen party where the aggregate cost of makeup of the party was in the neighborhood of $750, and somebody there told her she looked not a day over twenty-three. She came home on the run, negotiated the stairs three at a time, and, bursting into the apartment, gasped: "Now, you big stiff, I've got something to tell you for the first time in fourteen years, and I'm darned If I don't make you listen to it."

"The soda fountains have opened," notes the ITigginsville "Jeffersonian," "and a glance at the price lists convinces us that the old men who used to say, 'Sonny, here's a nickel; run git yourself a sody,' will have to do a little better this year." It is feared the identity of the prospective owner is not sufficiently brought out in the government's new slogan, "Own your own home." In order that nobody may consider himself expected to own somebody's else home, we suggest the slogan be amended to read, "Own your own home yourself in your own right." Tennyson J. Daft.

Indiana's Glorious World War Record
Although scarcely able to walk Sergeant Dickens so successfully directed his men at the Argonne that the enemy was pushed back. Notwithstanding heavy odds, Indiana soldiers invariably did their duty in this historic battle. General Pershing gave Sergeant Dickens a distinguished service cross. His equally appreciative Hoosier admirers can do no less than subscribe to Victory bonds in a measure comparable with his splendid devotion to duty: Sergt. Benjamin Dickens, Company E, 16th Infantry (A. S. No. 42761). For extraordinary heroism in action in the Forest of Argonne, France, October 4, 1918. Although he was severely wounded early in the attack, Sergt. Dickens refused to be evacuated, and when all of the officers had become casualties, he took command of the company and led it to the objective. Shortly afterward the enemy made a strong attack against the position, but, although he was scarcely able to walk he so successfully led his company that the superior number of the enemy was forced to withdraw. Home address, Mrs. Rebecca McCoy, sister, Broadripple, Ind. Volunteering to go forward in the face of extreme peril, Private Kreuzman faced death for the sake of the cause. He won a distinguishedTservice cross for his action, but he deserves some expression of appreciation from the folks back home. What more convincing evidence of such appreciation than a- generous subscription to Victory bonds: Pvt. William A. Kruezman, 82nd Co. 6th Marines ,A. S. No. 121947). For extraordinary heroism in action near Rayonville, France, November 1, 1918. Pvt. Kruezman volunteered and went forward to reconnoiter a ravine which was infested with hostile machine guns, returning with several prisoners. Home address, Mrs. Elizabeth Kruezman, Batesville, Ind. Not every civilian can show a personal disregard of his own safety as did Corporal Fields. He went in to rescue a wounded companion, knowing the risk he took, and he paid the price. General Pershing thought this worthy of a distinguished service cross. What amount of Victory bonds will you buy, Mr. Hoosier Investor, to evidence your appreciation of such heroism? Corpl. James O. Fields, Company D, 130th Infantry (A. S. No. 216849.) For extraordinary heroism in action at Fresnesen-Woerve, France, November 10, 1918. With utter disregard of his personal danger, Corpl. Fields went into an intense enemy barrage to rescut a wounded soldier. While accomplishing this heroic feat he was seriously wounded. Home address, Mrs. Ida Fields, mother, R. F.

Burleson's Muddling
From the Indianapolis News. A SERIES of articles in the New Republic treating of Mr. Rurleson's administration of the postoffice department may throw some light on the underlying causes of the strike that is tying up telephonic communication in New England. By a relentless citation of instances, with facts, names and dates, it Is shown that Burleson has at every possible point in his contact with the men under him displayed tactlessness and stupidity that have alienated the entire body of employes, driven several classes into labor unions, and disrupted the morale of the Bervice. Case after case is submitted bearing out this view. One or two, which are typical of the others, follow. In April. 1917, through his second assistant, Burleson discharged E. J. Ryan, president of the Railway Mail Association, an organization composed of railway mail clerks, for criticising working conditions. Mr. Ryan offered to substantiate his charges before an impartial tribunal. No such opportunity was given him. The Railway Mall Association had previously been strictly na organization of civil servants. In October following the discharge of their president, the members decided to
join the American Federation of Labor by. a vote of more than three to one. On much the same charge Burleson had dismissed the president of the rural carriers' organization. Then he contrived to bring about the separation from the service cf the president of the city letter carriers. Five years previously the latter organization had voted against joining the American Federation of Labor by a majority of more than four to one. Following the action against their executive they decided to join the ranks of organized labor by a vote of 23,551 to 1,971. Instances of the sort are multiplied many times. The record if it is accurate and plenty of collateral evidence exists to suggest that it is not exaggerated shows a positive genius for antagonizing employes, for destroying their morale. A pathetic niggardliness wholly foreign to true economy and unflattering to a great government has characterized his administration. This, combined with a colossal tactlessness in dealing with men has resulted in what is not far from abreakdown of the postal service. Itv is not surprising that trouble of serious consequence to the people of New England is being had with the employes of the Burleson-administered telephones.

Bruce Gairnsfather of "Old Bill" fame tells an amusing story of a soldier who thought he would take advantage of his chum's being on sentry duty at the barracks gate to slip out after tattoo in order to visit his best girl.

Mr. Bunn tells how his cough was conquered and health restored.
"I contracted a bad cough in November, 1916. I was working in a coal mine and the doctors said the coal dust had settled In my lungs. I kept getting: worse, couldn't lie down on my right side, coughed so I couldn't sleep and had constant pain in my right lung and under my shoulder blades. I coughed so hard the blood would spurt out of my nose. I soon lost 30 pounds. Finally the doctors had me change climate and I went to the Cumberland Mountains and lived out doors, but -didn't irrfprove. "Then I came back home and started on Milks Emulsion. Thank God I did, as it did me a lot of good right from the start, loosening tip the coal dust that had filled my right lung. In a few weeks my lungs were free from coal dust. I could sleep at night llko a baby, had an excellent appetite and my cough left me entirely. I gained back 30 pounds in weight and went back to work in the mines completely restored to health. I am working every day and feel as good as I ever did in my life." G. H. Bunn, 6th Ave. No. 13th St.. Terre Haute, Ind. Thousands of victims of dust filled air.
