FOLKS’ g With this issue the editorship of g the Walkerton Independent, The g North Liberty News and the LakeI ville Standard—publications of the I ] Independent-News Co. —c han ges I ' hands. ■ I Mr. Endley, the former editor, has I left the editorial desk after having V spent the greater part of his life V in newspaper work and will enjoy F his well earned rest in California. F The Independent, which with this F issue, is celebrating its thirty-fifth " birthday, was established by Mr. I Endley’s father, Dr. Endley, who x edited and published the paper until [ his death. The son, Will, then took a charge of the enterprise and has successfully managed it till the present time. Thru his untiring efforts * the paper has been built up until E now it ranks among the first of E weekly publications. = During these years of pioneer S building, Mr. Endley has given his E best efforts to make his newspaper 5 a real credit to the community S which it served. All of his life he E has backed and supported the things E that have meant most to WalkerS ton. He has been a local booster, E ready to support any 4Bd all worthy ■i E enterprises thru the columns of the S Independent and associated papers. E Not only will Mr. Endley be grea> 5 ly missed by his many readers and t E friends, but also by the fellow mem- = bers of his craft. During the years S of association with other newspaper E men in northern Indiana and southE ern Michigan he has earned the re- ' spect and admiration of all of them. - Many have paid him high tribute through their editorial columns and express regret over his leaving the craft. 1 am sure we are voicing the opinion of all mir i • :• and

friends when we express to Mr. I Endley, and to his good helper, Mrs. | Endley, our sincere thanks for their I years of faithful service and wish for j them the very best in life lor their I remaining years. The new firm hopes to be able to merit the gocfd will and respect and j cooperation on the part of all of Mr. I Endley’s many friends. We shall try | to continue to publish a high grade ; newspaper for this community. Our , policy shall always be to serve the I community's best interest in the best way possible. We believe our readers nave a part to play in our success or failure and we earnestly ask for your continued cooperation. THRIFT A NATIONAL NECESSITY. Thrift is necessary to national existence. When a people cease saving and turn to waste and extravagance, they begin to degenerate, their government begins to decay, anu the life of their nation is doomed. All the world has shown that a thrifty people are a progressive people and a prosperous iH»ople, advancing steadily In industry, intelligence, independence, and good government. Saving money is not miserly, it is wisdom. Hoarding money is miserly and wasteful, because it clogs the life blood of commerce. Saving money and investing it, on the contrary, means that money is put to work, earning for the investor and providing capital for in- ' dustry and trade. । The United States Government has become actively engaged in a great movement for thrift and savings. it is reaching out for the hoarded and hidden money earned by the timid; it offers them a safe Investment ami a high rate of interest. The Postal Savings System has been in operation more than twelve years and has been a success. it still affords one of the best mediums for people who can save only small amounts at a time. Tencent stamps are sold, and* when a person has ten stamps they can bo exchanged for a $1 interest-bearing postal certificate. Postal savings have proved very popular, many people having purchased the limit of 12.600. THE PAUSE OF MANY' ACTIDEXTS. Automobile accidents are creating such a frightful casualty list, that their causes ought to be carefully studied, to determine what habits and practices among motorists most frequently get people into trouble. One very common cause of collisions, is the habit of passing other cars on curves in the road. Drivers get irritated by having to drag behind some slow-moving machine on a narrow and winding highway and can't wait until they reach a clear stretch of road where ’hey can see ahead. So they try to pass on a curve, but in so doing they get well over on the left side. If another car, hidden by the turn, happens to be com- । ing along in the opposite direction at a high rate of speed, it becomes ! very difficult to avoid a smash. The driver who delays passing until he knows the road ahead is clear, ; stands a much better chance of keep- ! ing out of the law courts, also out of ■ the hospital and cemetery. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has repeated his unqualified denials j that duplication of large quantities of bonds actually exist. This report has been persistent in Congress and ' Representative Johnson of South Dakota has pressed his demand for I a Congressional investigation. Rei ports to the effect that duplicate I bonds to the total of $400,000,000 were in circulation, are denied not only by Mr. Mellon but by former Secretaries Glass and Houston. Keep your lot on the cemetery i clean. Now^that Decoration is past it is easy to let our civic and family pride suffer by neglecting the cemetery lot. A beautiful cemetery is a | credit! to any community but one grown up with grass and weeds is a disgrace. Let’s keep the grass and weeds down. If you can't look after this matter yourself, make arrangements with the sexton. The sportsman who does not throw back the blue gills and bass that he catches these days is a poor sportsman. He is neither fair to the fish, the law abiding citizen, nor to the legislators he helped to elect. j One of the principal national resources which this country has scarcely begun to utilize, is the collection of fines from automobile speeders. Next Monday is Circus Day in South Bend. A great number of dads will he sneaking away from home that day in order to “take the children.” . I The housewives of this place say that what this country needs is fewer powder puffs and more brooms. I More red blooded Americans are ( needed, and fewer red minded socialists.

The Farmer Has Greater Need For Electricity Than the City Man There are more operations in which the average farmer could use electricity than used by the average city man. It is also possible for the farmer to get his “juice” cheaper than the city man. The farmer can get his #om the wind —absolutely free. But the main point is that he NEEDS it. His work and that of his busy w-ife would be lightened very much indeed. Ask us about the Frbe Electricity.
