FEW BUSINESS FAILURES.

Whatever business men may say about the diiF.eiiltl's they experienced last year, it wan certainly good yrar for fcusim-. They may complain nbout it. but the facts refute their pesslnv.rn. The record cf tutdntSM failures i a more trustworthy index han thjs personal opinion of any man or i;roup of men. Vhen busineas is thre are many hankruptie. "When biiinr.ss is ood, th re are f-w. I5r;'dstreet's report of the failures for the firbt 10 month" of last year t-how that there were fewer failures during that time than for anv imilar ptiiod ii the lapt 19 years. The failures recorded for 1.1: Trimbered only I.T-fi. The n are.st approach to ;his low figure was :n ttv-' Ilm 10 montl'.s of lfU'., when there were failures. Moreover, the total liabilities of bankrupt firms last year were the smallest for 1? years with the exception of the year 190:1. though business operations are now generally on a iaic' ;a-ger scale than they used to be Thi. Inrv rate of failures is, of c i':e. mer h negative vjdenco of bupiness pvcperiv. Hut anvone who does not consider it onclusive ca-i easily MibfetantiitP it by reports of earnings in nearly all lines of business. There is little doubt of what the income tax return will show. And there is nothing io indicate any wore fortune tP.is year, provided business men !;eep their heads.

' OUR PROBLEM OF PUBLIC PARKS. Incident to South Hend's growth, or anticipated SiCnvth, ftnd the stren'iou provision that is heiri!,mde for tb. extension of Aater mains, seweratre.

idewalk, paving, etc., we should also remember (

that we have a system of parks, and that thfy are quite as much a part of -he city life as any of the.su other thlnp. The legislature of 1917 made some ry ntces?ary laws, providing for park Improvements, arranin: for the etablishment of par!; district?, bonding of communities for park purpose., and the collection of a -mkin fund for the retirement of the bonds, a matter which should have local attention. As we understand it. the things are accomplish?d by means of a referendum, based upon a Ptitio:t of citizens interested in havinp them Vroutfht about. Ttrre ILiUte b.o just had itself delard a parking ditrit. Scvith Hend with its anticipated growth is surely as much in need of it as :s Terr Haute, liesides as it y-tand? something of the ort must be done, it seems, if wt are to forge .-.head. To the shame cf the city, most of our parks : re now heli tinder land contracts rathtr than wartint y ded. and the park board is in pretty tvcll up to its neck when it comes to keepincr up these parks, .-and ' making the contract payments from tr.o prtent tax !ev. Y must look to this side o' f ar future city life as wll a to the building? of hor.US. S&WfTS. th- laVi!.? of wat-r main: tc. if arftn linvt- a city that is really a det-irable place ! live. Th" matter is ri'T'iv mentioned in pistons;, in the hop- I hut it will start people to thinking sometninc olor'thi- ljr.v, that fio- may not lose flht f tbJS whll Uboiüii; k') bird v.th tlo ubie- t of

t lie a other utilities South R'nd does not want a lop-s!de! growth. W' hav already ron!dr-d the pubjct cf fnUrrir.?; Ue school facilities. WVd. the parks need pretty eti to kep pace with tl. choo. If we ar to he the cond city in the vvat i iicht soon, we muat alio liave the .-econd school city in the itate rlsht soon, we must also have th second school city, and the second park system, which po to rr.ake up the city as a wholeor we will not be th second city. AMERICAN TOYS. The chief reason for indifference to the Germanmade toy In American shops this year is the fact that American toy have become fully a good as the German articles, and in aome cage, better. Although the prices of American toys ar high, they still hold their own becauae German tojs have increased in rrice from 150 to 3Ca percent nv.-r their 1914 level. - . The American toys. too. ref.ect American intereats, and the Ameriran child's fondneas for taklnar thinßs. apart and putting: them together. Thare is a oifr demand for mechanical toys, eapecially those sets which, when properly put together, renult In celiont models of farm tractors, automobile, airplanes that go and ships that ride beautifully upon the water. Experiment ets of elementary chemistry and electricity, tools and material which develop the child's constructive abilitle. are in great favor. A truly marvelous derrick or a pile-driver or n swinirinK crane has far more appeal to the American boy or Kir! than toy soldiers, cannon or maehine tmns. It is a L'ood tendency. The new toy with which ' real things' ran be made are of less flimsy manufacture than some of the old foreign-made toys. They are huilt for bard use and they get it. They occupy the child's mind and hands as well . appealing to his sitjht. Their" popularity is deserved

"A GOOD TURN DAILY." lie of the small bits of routine in the daily life of an active and Joyal boy scout Is the doing of a "good turn." Anyone who is familiar with the habits of a genuine boy scout will probably admit that most ef the lads do nt stop with a sintrle good turn, but cheerfully perform Utile pervicts of helpfulness or courtesy whenever the opportunity offers. Next February the American organization of boy scouts will celebrate its' luth anniversary. In honor of this occasion the 470. GOO lads identified with the movement are asking all other Americans, men, w omen and children, to adopt for one we k tho scout's practice, and to do at. least one good turn for somebody else every day during the week of Feb. 8-1 1. It is a wonderful invitation. Kvery sensible person will accept with alacrity. There ate a good many corners in iho land where a sincrle act of cheery helpfulness vju'd mean a happier, easier day for somebody. Th good turn might be done i:i one's own horn1, to other members of the family, or it miuht be in behalf of a total stranger on the street or in a stor-?. If one week of unaelrlsh beginnings works well, the general public may b tempted to try another, and what a world of happiness and progress would then be ushered in!

"PEACE" WITH LENINE f'ace is coming more quickly than Is generally believed, in the opinion of Maxim Iitvinoff. bolihevist agent in 'openhagtn, where he has been negotiating with a Kritish representative on the repatriation of prisoners of war. Figns are not wanting to give support to his- confidence. Le-nine's forces are scoring successes in all directions. Antibolshevist forces are not harmonious. If the entente countries will not go to war with the Ienine government there will be nothing left to do but ome to an agreement with it. Yet "peace" with lenine may mean nothing more than opportunity for him to ext'-nd hoUhevrsm.

A New York man who had taken a cold plunge daily, winter and summer, for many winters, died recently from the shock sustained. If thus should b? the täte of all the "cold bath" Para in the country, the mortality of the late war would pale by comparison.

Speaking of the high cost of ttving. a 17-year-old Philadelphia girl declares that she cannot get along on her annual allowance of flü.OuO and requests an increase to $.0.550. Such cases of dire nf4 urc calculated to wring the stoutest hearts.

A new daily newspaper in Chicago will publish no crime or scandal new. In Chicago that means onlv advertising and hardly that.

MI.AI ING TIMi; AM MOXKY JLsT TIIK SAME. (Manufacturers llooonl.) The mal who picks your pocket and makes off with your money or our watch is merely taking what li wants without any regard to morals. The man who teals from his employer the time for which he is paid is doing exactly the same as the pickpocket. Stealing; time is just as much a sin as stealing money. The man who satisrle-- his conscience in stealing his employer's, time would have no difficulty in satisfying his conscience in robbing the cash drawer after he had done it two or three times, for the spirit is exactly th same, the moral turpitude i? the same, for time is money just aa much as money is money. Tho only difference is that so many people steal time by working inefficiently or not wholeheartedly that therrf is more companionship in this kind of stealing than there is robbing: a cah drawer, and the law punishes the latter and not the former. The time should come, however, when the !aw takes cognizance of time- stealing and places it on a par with money etfallnp. When men come to a lull recognition of these truths there will be a great change in the spirit of work. Then men will gee that if they want to be honet they must work honestly. The majority of men do not intend to be dishonest in stealing time for which they are paid ' they have f imply failed to think straight, and their minds have been poisoned by tho false teachings of the day. Their home training: has not been altogether straight on that point, their school work has been lax on the am lines, and the newspapers many of them have rca.d have failed to teach the truth. In olden slavery days tome Rpgrocs would always eteal from their mater anything they thought they needed to cat, von when honest about other things, easing their conscience by saying that they were lmply feeding their master'fl slive Today some people act on somewhat t name iJra. iz., the time for which he has paid.

Occasionally we are able to offer valuable privileges in the way of common stock in connection with an investment in the 7 preferred stock of a South Bend company. A 45 profit is being realized right now by South Bend investors who took advantage of one of these opportunities. Another opportunity of this character is now available for those who will act promptly. We firmly believe it is better than the one which is paying the 45 profit.
