6/Arthur Brisbane I McDonald’s Work Lesson For Farmers Two Fine Girls Mr. Mellon Stays '

McDonald’s work in America is well done. The United States and Britain have solemnly pledged themselves against war as between the countries and to the promotion of peace by all proper means everywhere. What the futurp will bring forth, what the British govern merit following the present la bor government, or what Ameri can public opinion may desire in , the luture, no one can say. But at least war has been classed as barbarous. The twc most powerful nations in the world have declared against it and that is progress. It took human beings thousands of centuries to abandon can nibalism. Often, undoubtedly they resolved to eat men no’ longer. And over and over the resolution was broken, when hunger came and the edible man was easily caught. But cannibalism has dissapeared. And war will disappear. Nevertheless, in <jays when the more civilized men were giving up cannibalism, they kept themselves ready to repel those that might come to eat them. The United States and Great Britain denouncing and abandoning war as between Britain and America, should keep ready and able to repel others that might seek to enforce war upon them. Farmers crying for “relief,” may learn from New York’s ■ striking truck drivers that real relief can be found in organization. The drivers haul farmers produce and wanted an increase in pay representing as much as the average farmer learns. It was not difficult. The agreement was made that any farm produce hauled into New York must be unloaded from the farm truck and reloaded into a truck operated by a member of the Market Truckman’s Association before it could be delivered to a commission house. Who pays for that reloading, for the second truck and the ser-. vices of another truckman, all unnecessary? The farmer pays, of course. There are some serious youngwomen left in the yorld, thank j the Lord. Therefore, future generations may hope for more Lincolns and Edisons. Miss Ishbel MacDonald, daughter of,.Labor Prime Minister, spends her time in New York investigating children’s courts, as does in England. She thinks “if we gave children good homes, sanitary conveniences and generally good conditions, their morals would take care of themselves.” That’s one fine young woman. Another is the daughter of Mr. Morrow, ambassador to Mexico, and younger sister of Mrs. Lindberg. When she reaches Mexico City Miss Morrow will teach in a Mexican public school. The fact that her father has millions does not concentrate her attention upon herself, or diminish her interest in the welfare of children. French organizations of army plans indicate that cavalry, now greatly reduced, will disappear from the French army in a few years. The French know that horses have no possible chance against airplanes atove, and “tanks”, rolling over the ground. As well send rabbits to meet an on-rushing express train. President Hoover’s announcement that Secretary Mellon has promised to remain in office until 1933 is good news. The public appreciates the willingness of Mr. Mellon, one of the two or three richest men in the world, to neglect his own business for the public business. It requires not much intelligence to realize to what extent Mr. Mellon’s work has contributed to national prosperity. Himself, a heavy tax payer, directly or through’ corporation ownership, Mr. Mellon has paid off already many billions of the national debt. He continues the “pay as you go” policy, not shouldering war debts on future generations that may be less able to pay than today’s prosperous generation.

A judgment of $488.50 and 5 SSO damages is asked in the suit ( being heard in the circuit court in Warsaw, by Judge W. L. Royce. This case is a replevin suit of Lewis A. Seider against Sheriff Frank McKrill, the State Bank of Syracuse, W. R. Wedrick and the State Bank of Warsaw. It seems the State Bank of Syracuse held some money, different coins, received for the sale of 300 bags of onions attached by the ’ sheriff, and the State Bank of Warsaw had a judgment against a man named Fisher, and issued an execution on the onions. But Seider claims a bill of sale to the onions. The question is, it is said, if this bill of sale is valid. o LAST MINUTE NEWS Word was received here this ! morning by friends and relatives ; that Marian Kitsen, former resii ent of Syracuse, had died last : night in Goshen. > Mr. Kitson suffered a stroke Sunday evening, and a second one last night, proved fatah > Among survivors are his two i brothers of this city, L, N.
