Another Reason Why You Ought To Go

The National Conference of Charity and So
cial Workers viii be held at Indianapolis this
month. Some of the most vital problems pertain
ing to the internal development of the United
States will be discussed
When the state conference was held here last
last October, special attention was given TO the
problem Of detectives, their weaknesses, and the
necessity Of segregating them before they can
reproduce or commit crimes.
A 19-year-old youth was arrested IN Chicago
Friday, charged with the murder of a milliner.
The lad is defective, his record was in possession
of the authorities, and he should have been con-
fined in an asylum long ago, according to the
statements of the police.
His arrest removes stain which had been at
tached to the name of an innocent fiddler, who
had been accused as the murderer. Had a de-
ternnined patrolman accepted the theory OF his
fellow officers the fiddler, about whom web OF
circumstances had been woven, might have been
executed innocently.
The arrest Of the defective youth is addi-
tional proof for the contention of social workers
that feeble-mindedne is one of the grave prob
lens of the day. Citizens would give this ques-
ton greater consideration il they attended the
Indianapolis meeting and heard what social work
ers have to say regarding it.

Studying The Pawnshops

Even the pawnshop has been made the sub
iect of sociological study. General facts pertain
ing to all of them have been codified by the state
banking department of Ohio, which made Cleve-
land the scene of investigation. Here are some
Of the conclusions which the Investigators have
drawn from their study:
About 40 per cent of the pledges made to
pawnbrokers are redeemed.
Ben and Sam are favorite names of pawn
brokers, and some of the places are known only
by the given name of the dealers
On streets running east and west nearly all
the pawning places are on the sunny side of the
street.
The favorite location of pawnshop is not
the corner lot but the second lotfrom the corner.
Every pawnbroker makes mental picture of
the borrower and can describe him to the next
customer.
Saturday night is the big night for business.
Gamblers are inveterate customers of the pawn
shops. Gamblers pledge Saturday night and re-
deem Monday. Sunday is their harvest.
One watch in Cleveland was paWned fourteen
times in single month One watch turned up in
a pawnshop the other day which had been lost
eight years before.
One shop charges 80 cents "for showing pawn
goods" whatever that may mean.

First Lesson for Movie Actors.
To express joy, grin and then let
it grow gradually into smile. This
smile should grow until the mouth is
wide open, displaying row of per-
feet pearly teeth. Bend the body up
and down at the waist line and clap
the hands. If convenient, throw the
arms around somebody who is stand
ing near and kiss them fluently.
There is only one way to keep any
thing out of the newspapers, and that
is to keep it to yourself
When a fellows reputation for truth
depends upon the weather, and unex-
pected change for the worse is no joke.
This means, of course, the weather
forecaster.

The Daily Fable.
A Deroit man, sentenced to jail for

He probably figures that he might as
well stay where he is until the price
of gasoline drops.

What's Your Object in Life?

Ask hundred men this question, and scores
will answer, ITO make money; others will re-
ply, ITO attain power; only few will say, ITO
serve"
Money is needed to preserve physical exist
ence-to house, clothe and feed you. But you
can live in only one house, wear only one suit of
clothes, and eat only limited amount of food
without mourning digestive troubles.
Unless you have money to develop the higher
and nobler sides of life, it is as useless to you
as spectacles are to blind man.
If you do not devote part of your money to
encourage the intellectual and spiritual parts of
your makeup, you might just as we'll toll hard
every day >until the grave digger excavates a
trench for your corpse Money is not the end of
existence, it is merely the means to perfect en-
joyment of existence. A poor man often gets
more real genuine and satisfying enjoyment out
of this life than does John D. Rockefeller
What's the use of having power, for the mere
satisfaction of saying that you can control po-
htical convention, rule the affairs of a gigantic
corporation or govern an empire?
Napoleon had more power than any ruler of
modern times, but he finished his course at st.
Helena, cogitating over the fickleness of fate
that may crown you one day and exile YOU on
the following.
Scores of bosses have dictated party platforms
and party nominations, but you have helped to
scatter the wreckage of their machines over the
pages of political history.
The head of many powerful corporation has
seen his power slip away from him at the call of
the death angel. A disturbance on the other
side of the ocean may set agoing a course of
events that will wreck the most stable concern
that has ever been established
Willingness to serve to put the city's good
above private gain, to work for the common good
of all, knowing that when all prosper the indi-
vidual will be benefited the correct atti-
tude toward life, and the principle that makes
life worth living for it brings happiness and con-
tentment.

CENTERVILLE PEOPLE

town council as cleanup day, and peo-
pie were persuaded to have all rub

] Friday morning the front yards OF
residences took on the appearance
OF junk yards, and it IL q puzzle to
explain where all the tin cans, ETC.,
had been concealed. 1t was necessary
to extend the cleanup program on
Saturday. 1t even seems possible that
all teams in town may be busy for
several weeks. However, the appear

This conception Of LIES purpose is>not based
on charitable principle. It's scientific valua-
ton Of the problem. Business men have dis
covered that SERVICE spells success.
Service has become the keynote of CONNER
ciaI endeavor.
Humanity cherishes with affection the memo
ries of men who unseIfishly gave their talent to
the discovery of methods to abate suffering, TO
prolong life, to make life more enjoyable.
It only remembers the biographies OF great
warriors and industrial barons. The man who
does something for humanity is never forgotten.
His life has not been lived in vain. But only a
shadow OF him remains who sought only money
or power.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR w.
%R WALTON FoRzCONGRESS

Mexico, and New Mexico needs q
man like Walton in Washington.
Walton got a Corrupt Practices
Act through the hostile state legis-
lature.
Walton is author of fifteen laws
now in force in New Mexico and all
are good ones.
Walton wanted free school books
in New Mexico. He fought for q
Workingman's Compensation Aot.
Vote for w. b. Walton and send
man 10 Congress who is able ana
efficient, who knows what 10 go az
ter, and when he goes after anything
GETS IT.
Give Woodrow Wilson chance by
giving him a Democratic congress to
work with. Give Walton o chance
TO show what real congressman
can do for New Mexico.
President Wilson will certainly
be reelected and HE MUST HAVE
a Democratic Congress behind him.
