। THE INDEPENDENT September 6, 19—5 I ; " ■ a* 1 v * Ss i? ■ - ki | NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION MEMBER, NO. 2204. The Independent-News Co., has ace cepted n Newspaper Association | Membership in the National High- ! ways Association (Washington, D. |jC.), with which are affiliated two | hundred and two road asssociations j and organizations. It stands, not for | any particular road, but for good | Roads Everywhere, through the esi tablishment of National Highways, f'. The “Map Dex ice” at the head of I this column expresses our interest in J roads, your interest in roads. It is | the symbol of an Association which j for twelve years has worked faithi fully and hard for the dissemination = of road information, which has |ri!e 1 lislied thousands of maps, and mll--1 lions of pamphlets, in the intereat of I good roads, and which believes that ! the future civilization of this great - country will go forward as fast and I no faster than we develop our sye- | j terns of transportation. ! i The motor awl motor truck have I come to stay. The farmer of twenty I years ago on an isolated mud-wallow, j miscalled a road, who today lives | near a hard surface road and drives phis car to town and back in an hour ■ where formerly he required a day, knows what roads and cars mean to him. Good roads mean prosperity; they mean progress, they mean eduction; they mean a full life, worth j living; they mean the greatest amount of goods purchased for the least amount of haulage; they mean ' greater profits from farm produce because they cost less to haul over good roads. Good roads everywhere mean prosperity and happiness everywhere. That is why we have become a Newspaper Association Member of the Association which will eventuality produce Good Roads Everywhere FROM COAST TO COAST. When an Army Fliej made the distance from Atlantic to Pacific in one hop. taking only a little more than an entire day, and when another beginning as the sun arose over Long Island failed of landing beside the Pacific before sundown of the same day only because of a minor accident a few hundred miles from his goal, when the sun was sttll high in the heavens, the question of bringing San Francisco am! New Yor' into

substantially twenty-four hours of each other was definitely and finally settled. A daily mail between New York ai\d San Francisco, arriving only • about a day later, will be worth all it costs to the business Interest of the country. It will be worth the vast outlay for 500,000,000 candle-power beacons, and tho lesser lights installed to guide the tliers at night It is the natural, the logical and the splendid refinement of that wonder of twenty-fi.e years ago, the rural free delivery. DOES IT PAY TO CONTIN IE IN 1 SCHOOL? At this time of year when schools ’ all over the land are beginning their new year's work, the question of their children attending school is j often forced upon parents. Some- ' times it is the desire of the boy or girl, for some reason to discontinue f their education. Luck of interest may , have developed and the desire to earn monoy by working has increasied the disinterest. Parents are therei I * lore confronted by the question of whether or not to permit their child to quit school ami go to work. It is a proven fact, in the general , run of people, that it is a poor economic policy for any child to quit school and go to work because he wanks to make money. A'e submit the following report of Dr. A. Coswell Hills, ol the University of Texas, who made a very thorough investigation of the subject at the request of the U. S. Bureau of Education. The report follows: Brory day spent in school pays the child $9. Here is the proof, based oi the wage scale of 1913: Uneducated laborers earn on the average of SSOO per year for forty years, n total of 420.009. High school graduates earn on the average of SI,OOO per year for forty years, a total of $ 10,000. This education required twelve , years of school of ISo days each, ai total of 2.1 HO days in school. If 2.1H0 days at school add $20.000 to the income for life, then each । day at school adds $9 25. The child that stays out of .school • to earn less than $9.00 a day is losing money and not making money. I Parents, boys and girls, think it over, and act wisely. LINCOLN’S TRI sT IN THE TOILER “The prudent penniless beginner in the world laliors for wages a while, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself, then 1 labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another beginner to help him. This is the just and generous aud prosperous system which opens the way to all. gives hopes to ail. and consequently energy and progress and improvement of condition to all. No men lit - , Ing are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty. I none less inclined to take or touch । aught which they have not honestly 1 earned.” The United States offers the op--1 ortunity for the humolest man or w»man to go from the bottom to the top of the ladder unhampered by' class distinction or official .dictation. ' Let us always keep this basic principle of our government intact. The national capital has become, overnight, a bubbling, boiling, seething cauldron of politics. This political scramble began even the very night of Harding’s death. There were conferences and caucuses and consultations. Which way to jump, and how, were the chief subjects of discussion. The death of the President

Wo attended the Walkerton M. F. I Sunday school picnic at Koontz lake . last Friday and had a very nice time eating cake and pie and watching j the big girls do their bicycle riding ; stunts. They were there too, when it Came to the fancy stuff. Mesdames Worrell and Winner proved their suprior ability at whirling the lucky emblems by defeating Messrs. Faulkner and Niell in a hot • game o' horseshoe. Crooked work was j charged by the losers as the cause of their defeat. In a heated contest among the men ( with the score standing 14 all. John Faulkner offered to bet Rev. Niell “the cigars” that he could throw a “ringer”. Being a Sunday school picnic ,the pastor thought it wise to cal! all bets off. < i With the many threats of shooting running rampant in and arounu Walkerton and with all the white mule raids being staged just now, we suggest that if the police authorities want any protection they should call on Claude Houser. He certainly pulls a wicked trigger. All the same, we would hate like the dickens to have Claude chasing us with that gnu of I mump*** that Reuland MeOa.be, wiao Uis car off the wIMMt neem aw B.

Most any man naturally has a feeling of pity for the fellow who had to put this ad in a Cleveland paper: "Will the gentleman who took wrong coat in restaurant Wednesday please communicate and explain mat- • ters to my wife? Writer wore wrong i coat home and wife found powder ■ puff and garter in pocket of same. 1 Party responsible for mistake will confer lasting favor by communicat- j ing—Box —Cleveland, Ohio. It Pays to Advertise. From over in Greene township comes the story of a farmer who lost a cow. He put an adv. in a South 1 Bend paper like this: "Strayed—One Jersey heifer. To i the one who returns tier I'll give a drunk of Old Rose whiskey, 10 years i old.” And the next morning there were nine men with Jersey heifers standing in the yard. • But There Aren’t M any.
