Paying the Yetcrans Congress did a commendable thing at the very outset of its session by passing an appropriation to make possible, the payment of allowances to families of soldiers and sailors under the war risk insurance act and to the veterans of the CiVil war. More than $12,000,000 was held up May 1-because of lack of funds and- Civil war veteran checks totalling $3,000,000 would have been held up on June 1, if congress had not acted. Conditions in this nation would have come to a pretty pass if .the payments to soldiers and their dependents would have been held up by lack of. funds. These men risked their lives to pef-petuata-the nation. The money due them is an honest "debt which the republic should pay promptly. It is a shame that they should be forced to stand in line waiting for their money while .other war bills contracted by the government are paid. They have, the first claim to the

21 billions raised by the American people for the prosecution of the war. i The American people will not tolerate procrastination in the voting of money to pay allowancesto which the soldiers and veterans are entitled under the law. Small wonder that the returned soldiers and" sailors are becoming restless under the delay and the non-fulfillment of promises, i What they want is the money which belongs to them. " They earned it at the risk of theirttves. Traman of military age shirked his duty, he was clapped into prison and punished. Why should the men who served be punished by the withholding of their allowances, owing to the failure of the government to provide the funds? Currency Inflation and Result on Prices John J. Arnold, vice president of the First National bank of Chicago, on the solicitation of the division of public works and construction development, information and education service of the United States department of labor, has made a statement on "Inflation and Prices" in which he says it is futile for industry to wait for prewar commodity prices. Mr. Arnold's statement is being circulated by the information and education service. The Chicago banker dissents from the popular opinion that the United States has become the world's "banker", and points out that we are a creditor nation only and as such our responsibilities are heavy ones, not without dangerous possibilities. "The situation which confronts us is serious," says Mr.-Arnold, "and it may be necessary that our government accept from the European governments further government bonds, or promises to pay, for the interest which will be due from year to year. "It is desirable from every viewpoint that government financing should be discontinued, at the earliest possible moment. Private enterprise should be stimulated by private financing, which

will. most quickly bring about deflection. "The high cost of commodities and labor, of course, is partly due to the increased demand for raw materials and the curtailment of production for peace purposes. ,

"The world today is glutted with government securities, which include both bonds and the medium of circulation known as currency, and .the sooner we begin the process of reducing- both the sooner can we figure on a lower cost of living. "From the standpoint of the student of economics, it is absolutely futile for peace industry to wait longer for pre-war commodity prices, and everything should be done to encourage the rej sumption of peace business, which alone can accomplish what we all desire. "In other words, the production of new wealth is absolutely essential for the reduction of costs. The normal way to reduce the price of wheat is through the farms producing a large quantity, That Is to say, we must place the emphasis on a greater production rather than upon consumption of commodities, while in the field of governmental securities the opposite is the end to-be .accomplished.' ' Mr Arnold calls attention to the fact that increasing loans and deposits in equal amounts, without limitations, shows no added strength to an institution and may - prove even dangerous. Loans within the power to pay are legitimate and reflect, probably, a healthy state of affairs, but Mr. Arnold points out that In Europe government obligations have been made beyond their ability to pay within a stated period. He calls attention,

also, to the fact that much of the governmental borrowing has been for destruction rather than construction, and, therefore, much of the money in these loans has been spent for things which produce no wealth and have no earning power. Return of the Telephone Systems No time should be lost in returning the telephone systems to private control as speedily as possible so that former conditions may prevail and more satisfactory service be performed. The expenses of the telephone comapnies have increased greatly under government control and the service instead of showing a proportionate improvement, is far from meriting praise. Steps taken by the companies to obtain adequate revenue have been blocked in a certain degree by the regulatory authorities of the states.

Congress should enact legislation at once that will make possible the return of these properties so that deterioration of the plants willjbe forestalled and improvement in service follow. A just settlement with the companies should be made.

Who Published the : First Newspapers In Wayne County?

Beside the long list of papers printed la Richmond, since the founding of the city, there nave been many other newspapers started la Wayne county, some of which are still prosperous. In CenterviUe, the first paper published was the Western Emporium, which was started in 1824 when Centerrille was the county seat of Wayne county, and lasted only a UtUe while. John Scott, formerly, of the Richmond Intelligencer, was the publisher. In 1827 Septimus Smith, and Cyrus Finch started, the .Western Times. The Times lasted junUl 1884. ; - Other CenterviUe naners- were the

L People's Advocate, which was started

m 1835 as a Democratic Journal by Samuel C. Meredith. He soon changed Us politics to .Whig and its name to the Wayne County Chronicle. The National Patriot, the Wayne County Record, the News Letter, the Free Territory Sentinel, 1848, the Independent Press, the Wayne, County Journal, 1854. and the Wayne Chronicle were the names of. other CenterviUe ventures, all of which were born, flourished and died belore .the Civil war. . . ; , ,. . The Cambridge City Reveille; started in 1845 by James H. Hunt, was the first Cambridge paper; It was. succeeded by the Cambridge City News In 1850, the Cambridge City Item, in

J 1852, the Bulletin. 1S56, the Flag of

tne Free, i860, and the Journal and Mirror. These-are some of tbe ventures in Cambridge City; prior to the publication of the Tribune. This paper was founded by Henry C. Meredith on May 13, 1869, and after various ups and downs of fortune, passed into the hands of Frank C. Mosbaugh in 1861. who has published it ever since. Milton's first venture was a small paper started in 1841 by a man named Wiekersham. Other papers of Milton

were shortlived. The Wayne Register was founded in August, 1875, at Dublin, the Hagerstown Exponent was founded in May. 1875. and the Protectionist, an anti-slavery paper, was founded In Newport about 1840.

Criticisms of the Church

By THE REV. I E. MURRAY In this article I want to say something in support of the assertion in last week's issue that the church is in sympathy with the program of organized labor as set forth by leading advocates of labor interests. I cannot do better than state the social service program adopted by the Federal Council of Churches, of Christ In America in its Chicago convention in 1912 and

reaffirmed In the St Louis convention

Old Days and Ways of the Mills

From the Christian Science Monitor." t HENEVER a young artist goes roaming through Lr' " the countryside in search of a picturesque subV Ject for pencil or brush, you may be reasonably 6ure that he will sooner or later return with something that shows a bit of a stream, a touch of willow or alder, and a quaint little structured nestling in the midst, which he will wish to denominate "The Old Mill." Old mills seem to lend themselves to a picture more readily than to song or story. And yet there is hardly to be encountered, Kn , a country road anywhere, a little mill, however ancient and dilapidated it may seem to be today, that is without its interesting story of activity in the days of long ago And not so very long ago, either; say long enough only to carry one back to the times when mlll3 had not been bonded together in great corporations, but hadindividuality and character, like individual people. Those were the days when the owners of the mills were individuals or perhaps rather families; for in such a section as New England, to speak of "the mill" today is to call UP thoughts of endless rows of windows In endless brick walls, endless ceilings of whirring pulleys and belts'' above "endless floors full of champing, clattering, many-shuttled, many-threaded machines. In those days n mill was something picturesque, of an outline peculiar to th- particular twist or turn of the stream where it was placed;-and instead of, thousands of . operatives speaking divers tongues and thinking thoughts of foreign lands, there "were groups of neighbors or relatives, happy in their nationalism, thinking and speaking In similar ways, and ambitious to make their mill, do great things. The mill owner of those days started in a small way. Perhaps he himself was a recent immigrant from some mill town across the ocean. But he was surely himself a worker, knowing his machines and his processes at first hand, perhaps with certain secret formulas as to fiber or color, that would give his goods a quality which rival 'mills might seek in vain-to imitate, formulas ' which he would hand down to the son Tor brother Or cousin who, in good time, would succeed him as owner of the business.

Many a mill of those days established a reputation for particular goods of sterling quality, and made that quality known far and wide as one with the name of mill or cwner. No pressure of hard times, or scarcity of material, was sufficient to cheapen the product of such a mill. Its goods were accepted wherever they were sold as "made on honor", and the individual or the family that found itself in happy possession of a reputation so earned would shut down the mill rather than put into its product anything other than the standard quantities and qualities. Such mills were not at the mercy of a selling agent with his own interests to consider. Their selling agents were the mill men themselves, or some relative or neighbor who had an equal interest in the mill and equal knowledge of the work. And so, in later times, when mills begkn- to be gathered together in groups, and the groups to be "absorbed," as the saying is nowadays, by some great corporation, the mills that had been built up and carried on by an Individual and his family remained, in many instances, still In the family control. The owners were content to make goods of the same sterling quality as of old, and since the tendency was for many mills to seek advantage by using cheaper materials, the output of the family mills was always in demand. So it comes about that many of the household words of the good housekeepers of the present day are the family names of mill owners or the trade words that have always designated the product of their mills. .Things are done in a larger way today, of course. There may be "family mills" that still find a ready demand for the goods that are "made on honor," and here and there manufacturers still begin business jwith a small mill and make their way to success' through the close personal attention to all the details that won success of old. But steam and electricity give a wider, measure and a quicker pace to mills of the, present than water power could give in the earlier yearsv The world of manufacture has almost forgotten the little old mill by the country stream, in the midst of its willows ""or" alders. 'The artist may have it for his picture.

Coming In from location away up in, northern California, this little incident happened. Ruth Roland and her company went into the dining car for luncheon. At a small table just across from Ruth sat a ranchman.' He ordered soup, a steak, desert, etc., and sat back comfortably to await service. As the waiter set the soup down, the train lurched, and his thumb was gently laved by it. 1 "I don't think I want any soup," said the ranchman. "Take it away." The waiter brought the steak and was about to place it before the ranchman when a fellow waiter jostled him and almost upset the steak. As it

started to slide off the plate the waiter morning services

seized tt gently but firmly between the thumb and finger and pulled it back to safety.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK .KEEP THINGS IN. PLACE Someone once wrote that "Order is Heaven's First law." Whoever said that had the right Idea. Keep things in place. What would the Universe do without order? When I think of how each Star and Moon and Sun has its course, and travels on schedule time, then I am reminded of the Importance of the simplest action according to plan, In everyday life. Keep things in place. The mind is In nature, orderly. It is confusion in the world that tempts set order away from Its course. It takes great will and control to make the mind behave itself, yet it pays in great reward. Keep things in place. - . - With no one about directing order, everyone takes upon himself the action best suited to his particular desire. Of course that means disorder. v , Keep things in place. Have you ever noticed how smoothly traffic or great crowds are handled, merely with a small group of uniformed policemen simply because order is insisted upon? : With order the ruling factor, things go ahead and get done. . Keep things in place. - - ,. . , v ; If you keep things In place, results come about, everybody Is happy and the world smiles to itself. . - , Keep things in place. The office where each directing head insists upon order and a place for everything, where the piling up or putting off of details Is not allowed, is the office of growth and achievement Keep things in place. -' .

Inter-Chnrch Movement Conference To Indianapolis . y One of the greatest church movements in modern times is that which has come to be known as the InterChurch World Movement of North America. This is an- enterprise in which missionary, social service and educational boards of all denominations of the United States are participating and includes every official agency of these denominations. It"., has been announced by a prominent New York Daily as the greatest religious result of the war. Its purpose is to gather all these organizations into one movement for the rapid extension of the kingdom throughout every section of this country and the world. It contemplates an accurate survey of the needs of both home and foreign mission fields as well as the religious educational Held

of the denominations. It will endeavor

to so understand these needs and so plan to meet them as to eliminate all duplication and overlapping of work .among the denominations. It will mean the savin gof thousands of dollars in the erection of . church buildings and also much more satisfactory and economic distribution of ministers and workers in the needy fields of the church. The next twelve months are to be used in conducting an educational campaign throughout the country as to the purpose of this great movement of organized and effective working cooperation between theh different communions in every town, city and state in the nation. To make an adequate survey of the present opportunity before the church following which a great united financial drive in ' 1920 will be made for the raising of millions of dollars to be used in carrying out the plans which shall be agreed upon by the ruling boards and church officials ol all denominations." A conference for Indiana which will outline the whole movement will , he held in Indianapolis beginning Thursday, June 6 at 2 o'clock, and will close Friday at 12 o'clock. . The conference will be held In the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. It will have the hearty support and co-operation of the Church Federation of Indiana and the Church Federation of - Indianapolis.-

guarding this right against encroach

ments of every kind, and for the protection of workers from the hardships of enforced unemployment. "Suitable provision for the old age

! of the workers, and for those incapaci

tated by injury. r "The right of employes and employers alike to organize, and adequate means of -conciliation and arbitration in industrial disputes." "A release from employment one day in seven. "The gradual and reasonable reduction of the hours of labor to the lowest practical point, and for that degree of leisure for all which is a condition of the highest human life. "A living wage as a minimum in every industry, and the highest wage that each Industry can afford." "A new emphasis upon the application of Christian principles to the acquisition and use of property, and for the most equitable division of the product of industry that can ultimately be devised." Thus the church speaks for herself as to her attitude toward the "msses.H I can not feel that this criticism against the church has been quite fair. At least it has been too broad and general. Some churches may still fail to stresB this social note but it cannot be truthfully charged that this is generally true. In the message of the pulpit and in the organized activities of the church the social gospel finds constant expression. Criticisms at this point often come from people who are wholly ignorant of the present-day message and methods of the church. The church should be permitted to speak for herself and define her attitude. The above platform may be taken as the social creed of the church. It finds more general expression in the .voice and life of the church today than any of the creedal statements of the past. . Special Musical Program At Grace Methodist Church
