Put Your Slaves to Work

TT WAS n wise man who said that while
/ he admired Fulton and Edison, he was
sure that the greatest of all inventors was
the man who invented interest.
Saving, compound interest conservative
investment-great these three things,
and the greatest of them is saving. There
are thousands of men who can make money,
but large percentage of them know MOTH

Few people know the value of money 1t

Is Government Worth What 1t Costs?

POLITICIANS talk continuously about re-
i trenehment and reform. as though the
people were intensely interested in these
subjects. But there has been no retrench-
ment in recent years. Government is cost
ing more than ever before. In 1902 the taxes
levied on property at the ad valorem rate
averaged 1922 for each inhabitant through
out the Union. In 1912 the amount had
grown TO 1891. according to a compilation
Of figures by the Bureau of Census just
made public. This is an increase OF nearly
4s per cent. in ten years. And what have
we to show for II?
It may be said that the extra expense Is
due 10 the uniform increase in the cost OF
everything. but the more plausible expIana-
ton Is that II has arisen from the growing
extravasanee OF government 1t manifests
itself not only In increased salaries 10 public
servants. but IN new enterprises which

Better Reduce Than Raise Auto Fees

THE time is not far distant when the pro-
! priety of compelling the owner of an
automobile to pay a license for the privilege
OF operating 1t on the highways will be
almost as questionable as the propriety OF
compelling the owner of a horse and car
riage to get license before he can use the
streets.
The automobile, which was first rich
mans toy, is now business necessity. Not
only are motor trucks and delivery wagons
used in business. but passenger vehicles are
used almost as much in trade for pleas
ure. Whether they used for business
or pleasure, they have either displaced
horses or supplemented them. The motorcar
is so common that 1t is difficult to justify
exceptional treatment of it,
While 1t will always be wise to license and
number the cars for identification, the
amount of the license fee should be reduced
instead of increased. The money needed TO
keep the highways in condition ought to be
raised by general tax upon all property in
stead OF by an increase in the license fees.
The day of toll roads is passing, and the
toll system will be abolished as soon as pos
slble. II should not be perpetuated by
system of heavy fees for motorcars, which
would amount really to an annual COM
pounding of the tolls for the OF the
highways. The proposition to tax a $500 car
$50 a year in the form of a license fee. and
other cars in proportion, now before the
General Assembly, is outrageous and ought
to be abandoned at once.

Closing Balm Pots for "wounded Hearts"

Closing Balm Pots for Wounded Hearts"
TT is not an offense against the law for
parents to use their best judgment in
making their children happy even after the
children marry This is the opinion ex-
pressed by a Federal Judge in New York
when he dismissed the suit for S25O,0OO dam
ages brought by an unwelcome son-in-law
against the parents of his wife for alternating
her affections While parental authority
ceases with the marriage OF the child, ti@
Judge decided. the parental relation contin-
ues, and there Is nothing in law or reason
to compel family to receive an unwelcome
son-in-law or daughter-in-aw. II the parents
can conduct themselves toward their child so
as to make him or her see that the mar
riage was worldly or social mistake they
subjected to such sordid demands as have
been exhibited" in the under discussion
Whatever foolish young people may think
of this view and however 1t may be regarded
by adventurous and adventuresses, many
parents will think that it is the soundest pro-
nouncement on the question that has come
from the bench in long time II 1t becomes
tho general rule OF law in all courts 1t Will
not discourage hasty and ill-consdered mar
riages, but 1t may relieve the well-to-do from

in their favor, was costly and profitless.
general and sweeping success five months
later is almost unthnkabe.
On the other hand by taking the offensive
now the Germans may fairly hope to force
the Allies to conform to their attacks. They
may expect to relieve pressure in Alsace and
French Lorraine by their own operations in
Flanders. Above all, they will put end
to a condition wholly intolerable to German
high command in which the German forces
IN the west are everywhere on the defensive.
1t is plain now that for their present op-
Grafton the Germans have withdrawn troops
from the East Prussian frontier. Floods
and thaws have made this region impossible
for many weeks hence the Germans in this
field have been released for western opera
tions. Probably not n few regiments which
shared in the victory at the Mazurian Lakes
are now In the line before Ypres. Others
are unquestionably appearing in the Car

READING HISTORY

He who reads history learns to distinguish
what IL local from what Is universal; what Ia
transtory from what is eternal; to discriminate
between exceptions and rules; to trace the
operation of disturbing causes; to separate the
general principles. which are always true and
everywhere applicable from the accidental cir
cumstances with which in every community
lated community they are confounded by the
most philosophical mind. Hence 1t is that in
generalization the writer's of modern times
have far surpassed those OF antiquity.-Ma-
caulay.

Purely Local Engagement

In sum, it now appears, the second bat
tie of Ypres is a purely local engagement,
marked by desperate fighting and huge
losses, but hardly as serious a battle as that
of November, when the whole battle line in
France and Belgium was placed in jeopardy
and the Kaiser came within an ace of win
ming to Napoleons cliff at Boulogne and
carrying his front, If not TO the walls Of
Paris, at least to Amiens and the Somme.
What the Germans have so far won is an
admirable counterpoise to allied gains at
Hill No. 60 and at Neuve Chapelle. The
moral effect is not to be minimized That
Germany is able to resume the offensive with
such violence and success will be an un-
pleasant surprise to all allied observers. But

Appoint Committee of Ten to
Cooperate With Stude-

Residents in the Elder school dis
trict are as much against the golf
course. which the park board is try
ing to put in at Studebaker park
against the wishes Of the people Of
that district. as are those who live
in the Studebaker school section Of
the city. At the regular meeting Of
the Elder Civic club Thursday night
at the school. a committee of 10 was
appointed TO cooperate with the
Studebaker Civic club in opposing
the golf course and the club went
on record as opposing it.
G.. r. Haslanger. president of the
Elder club, said. I'VE do not want
a golf course. We want parks just
as other sections Of the city have.
There are not enough golfers in the
south part of the city to warrant a
course az Studebaker park and i
doubt if there are enough in the
white city. The seventh ward is
the largest of any in the city, both
in size and population. and yet We
have fewer parks and Fairgrounds
than any other.
We have paid taxes out here for
years and have helped other parts
OF the city get parks and play
grounds. We do not object to that.
but now there is an ordinance which
says that if we get anything out
here it will be paid for entirely by
the people of this district. That
would make us pay for a golf course
that we have no use for. If the city
wants a public golf course. the Sun
nyside course can be rented at a
nominal fee and tried out"
George Trey. Elmer Rex and
John Shirk were appointed to help
boost the proposition Of having

SHOW INTEREST IN
AGRICULTURAL WORK
Rural Problems Are Considered al
Conference With Assistant
State Leader.

Keen interest and a spirit of CO.
operation was displayed at the coun-
try life conference held Thursday
afternoon at the court house. The
attendance was large considering the
fact that many farmers are busy
with corn shredding. The principal
speakers of the afternoon were
Thomas a. Coleman of Purdue uni
versity and County Agent John S.
Bordner. In addition TO the talks
by these men there was an interest
ing discussion on the part of sew
eral of the leading farmers and COM
munity workers Of the county on
the problems that confront the farm
ers in the work Of rural betterment.
Mr.. Coleman, who is the assistant
state leader in field studies and
demonstrations, expressed himself
as highly pleased with the remark
able agricultural progress made in
St Joseph county during the last
two years. The great problem that
was being faced in this county, he
said, was also the great problem
throughout the country, namely the

that the science of agriculture is

The speaker called attention to the
fact that although the federal gov
eminent had spent $3.50, 100000 re-
Gently for the advancement Of agri-
culture and the various states had
spent nearly as much, yet the aver
age production OF grain was no
This fact he explained by the illus
tratiOn that where there is now one
farmer who raises so bushels Of corn
TO the acre there are two farmers
who raise only 20 bushels TO the
acre, and that thus the average is
kept low. There was no need for
discouragement from this fact, he
declared. for the work done by the
progressive farmers served as a
demonstration, accomplishing results
that could not be accomplished by
lectures and literature,
County Agent Bordner told briefly
OF the work that had been done in
soil improvement in the county and
in the work OF community Organiza-
tions. He gave it as his opinion that
the agricultural interests of the
county generally could profitably be
centered now on the work Of animal
husbandry.
