IGNORANT OF PAUPER AL
LOWANCE AT PooRH0USE.


Just to show the people of
Marion County one instance OF
the mental darkness regarding
county affairs in which the Coun-
ty Court labors we take up this
week the matter of pauper allow
ances. There was a wrangle, over
this on the matter of economy,
but there was nothing done so as
to save anything. The ignorance
we refer to is the amount spent
per pauper at the poor house.
This was said by one justice to be
SIS, and he declared it in such a
magnificent burst of oratory that
no one opposed the statement,
possibly thoroughly overawed IN
the matter, if not ignorant. The
actual amount per pauper per
month is the magnificent sum OF
So, not SIS, which is a difference
of So per month less than the
squire alleged. It is a mighty
nice thing to be right in small
noattars lest YOU lapse also in
greater ones. Is a.,
The total amount paid for the
maintenance of paupers at the
county poor house from Sept. /.
1916, to Sept. 1, 1916, was ST.
532.49 If the amount per pauper
was $15,, per- month an approx
mate increase Of three-fifteenths
would increase this amount,
So, 532. 40, to 5000. SO, a mistake
which the esteemed squire would
have made of $500. 40, oaa Il
To show the readers how small
an error this would have been and
yet very great in a measure, for
people more easily comprehend
the magnitude of $500 than OF
sums going into the thousands,
this amount would have been not
quite three per cent. of the in
debtedness on the general fund
of the county, $40, To the
average citizen $4,000 does not
seem to be a very large sum. in
fact lots of people imagine in a
general way that it is associated
with four times five, and apply
the hundred in a way equally as
careless. But when you say five
hundred dollars that sounds big
sure enough. 1t gets close to the
earning capacity of lots of them
for an entire year, and hence,
they understand it better, s.,
The members of the county
court are all good citizens. There
are none of them bad men.
Some of them may be Ignorant
as far as figuring on county fin,
ance is concerned, but the thing
for each one of them to do is tc
get down to the figures themsel.
YES and ask questions. They
should not allow any man or SET
of men control them in their vot'
ing. They should vote as they
see things, just as if those affairs
were matters of their own to set
tie, and if they do not see a point
clearly they should ask questions
till they find out the truth or the
inside points of a matter. If they
still cannot understand the prop
osition they, in justice to their
constituents, should not vote.

THE FRENCH BOND BUYERS.

The French people are the great
est investors in Government bonds
in the world. At the close of the
Franco-Prussian War in 1870 Ger
many demanded and collected from
France 81 ,000, 100000 indemnity. The
French people, who were as loyal
then in responding to their country's
needs as their soldiers are today,
fastened to loan this tremendous
sum to their country.
Their patriotism turned great
misfortune into a great benefit.
Their thrift in thus saving their
money and investing it in Govern
ment bonds ont only brought great
prosperity to France but the bonds
rose in value all over the world
and made the French national credit
good wherever civilization existed.
len years after the bonds were issu-
ed they commanded premium Of
Is per cent.
What the American Nation is call
ed upon to do in lending the Americ-
an Government $5,O00,OOO,000 and
taking its bonds therefore is little
compared with the loan of 81 100000
700 to France after the Franco
prussian war by the French people.
Called upon to do much less than
heir allies, the French, the Ameri-
can people will demonstrate that
hey are second TO no people in the
world in patriotic support of their
Government.

ulation of one and one half times as
large as Germany our loan is much
less than half the amount that Ger
many has borrowed.
Americas Liberty Loan is less
than one sixth of the bank deposits
In our country.
An ordinary borrower does not
think he is running himself when he
borrows 40 per cent of the value of
his property. The United States is
borrowing less than 8 per cent Of
its wealth.

Safe Medicine For Children.

rs it safe?" is the first question
to be considered when buying cough
medicine for children. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has long been
favorite with mothers of young
children as it contains no OPIUM or
other narcotic, and may be given to
a child as confidently as an adult.
1t pleasant to take, too, which is of
great Importance when a medicine
must be given to young children.
This remedy is most effectual in re-
lieving coughs, colds and Group.
Obtainable everywhere.

missed after death. We sleep but
the loom of life never stops, and
the pattern which was weaving
when the sun went down is weav-
ing when it comes up tomorrow.
When the mind is full of dlscords,
worry and anxiety; when brain and
body are out of tune, it is impos-
sible even for genius to express
the perfect music of a full. free
life.
People do not realize how rapid
ly vitality is wasted in friction. in
worry and anxiety, in harsh dis
cordant notes which destroy the
harmony of life, until at last it is
too late. Then they would give
all that is in their power to recall
some of the errors that they have
made in the past, or would try to
avoid such follies and sin in the
future.

Feeding New York for One Day

Feeding New York for One Day
When at the market to buy a
pound of steak or a dozen eggs,
did you ever reflect what it takes
to feed a whole city full of people
for one day9 Read some of the
facts disclosed by the Department
of Foods and Markets in New
York City.
New Workers consume annually
$500, 900, 600 worth of edibles. Di-
viding this by 365, the daily out
lay, therefore, is found to be SUBJ
stantially So, 100000. According
to experts, the per capita cost of
food eaten daily in greater New
York is $0.415, not making any
distinction between infants and
grown ups. The figure, of course
u1derestimates the value of the
provisions consumed by adults and
those of working age.
When the New Yorker carries
home his pound of meat wrapped
in brown paper, he may reflect
that, to supply the whole city for
that single day, 2,6O2,739 pounds
of meat will be required. 1t must
come from the West in trains of
refrigerator cars. from Argentina
ships, and from local stock yards.
Besides his single loaf of bread,
the city will require 2,613,6 9TH
er loaves. Each twenty-four hours
the metropolis consumes about
10000 barrels of -four. Inasmuch
aszthe average box car can hold
about 205 barrels of -four, a daily
trainload of ninety eight cars-a
string the better part of a mile
long-must roll into Manhattan
and its environs.
A river of milk containing 2 $780,.
900 quarts must flow into the city
daily, if its needs are to be sup
piled. From 10000 dairies lying
within 400 miles of the city this
essential food comes, and every
precaution is observed to keep it
sweet and fresh.
The fourth principal foodstuff,
potatoes, must be provided at the
rate 2,l79,OS2 pounds daily. Many
people could get along easier with
out meat than without these nu-
tritous tubers and heavy trainloads
of them are rolling into the city
continually from a score of the
Northern States.
Eggs are used at the rate of
437, ,O73 dozen daily, and substanti-
ally the entire country is drawn
upon to secure enough of this
standard food. They are brought
from as far west as California, the
main source of supply being the
country west as far as Nebraska,
south to the Gulf of Mexico, north
to Canada, and east throughout all
the New England States.
New Workers, even the most ex-
travagant of them do not butter
their bread on both sides, but still,
the daily consumption of butter
amounts to more than 400, 900
pounds. It is shipped by water
and rail from every dairy State in
the Union.
We need not 90 through the
whole list to realize what a tire.
mendous task it is to do the mar
keting for a whole city and how
busily the railroads and the steam
ship lines and the farmers trucks
must work, day and night, lest
this immense metropolis feel the
pinch of hunger.

"They Say"
G.. L. Morrill,, in Masonic Observer

| q. l.. Morrill,, IN Masonic Observer
The tongue is the organ of taste
and talk. Speech is the best and
worst part of humanity. They
Say" people may be members of
angel families in heaven or of dew
il's broods in hell.
Idle words are morally useless
words. Inflated speech, as we'll as
currency, is untrustworthy and
should give place to moderation.
Idle tongues employ the same ad-
jectives in describing a shoe or
bonnet as Gods sky, mountain or
ocean.
Slang is coarse way of carry
ing conviction and brings down to
a boorish level. To sail by the
dead reckoning of slang is to bring
up in strange latitudes of CONVEX
sation and writing.
Filthy words, stories and books
show the brute in man, warrant
ing literal Interpretation of the
Darwinian theory. The smartness
of smut and the French fun of
double-meaning words make mis-
chief and should be avoided.
Profane words cause US to dis
trust the statement which the
swearer seeks to prop up by them.
Profanity is the outrage of deity
and decency. To handy the name
of the eternal God and loving
Christ, in fit of wit or passion, is
to show less respect than we offer
the name of mother, wife or sister.
Fault finding is often the criti-
cism Of the disappointed and ignor-
ant. 1t is the rough heart, which
through a rough tongue. damns
with faint praise everybody and
everything. The owl is not a beau
tiful bird. The spirit that scorns
the sun. because it has a few spots,
but is blind to its greater glory, is
most ungracious.
Gossip is earth's frst-class liar.
It loves to talk surmise into fact
and suspicion into accusation. 1t
magnifes, dotes on and distorts
what simply seems to be or has
only been heard. Like the pig, it
lives in a sty, eats swill and wal
lows in the mud.
Slander Kisses its heart with SER
pent tongue; scars the soul; lashes
with scorpion sting; sows seeds of
crime; breathes the breath of the
pit; splashes with slime the pure,
white souls of earth until they are
black. The slanderer is society s
scavenger with a load of rotten
refuse.
Liars are the honored members
of the THEY SAY" Club whose
ignorant or malicious tongues light
a hell in home, church, business
and government. add fuel of more
lies to keep it burning, and fan it
with their wicked whisperings.
They are buzzards who only find
and love carrion; fends that spread
contagion; tigers who hide sharp
claws under velvet paws; men dev-
lis who called Christ a glutton,
drunkard and debauchee; women
hags who make worse than Mac
beth cauldron and talked about the
sanity John Wesly until they
broke up his home and separated

| HEMMlNHE NJ. S. P.s for the first
| N'4qIEN time since July 18th got
|H9DEg back in the winning COL
NNy umn last Saturday. They
hit opportunely and made more of
them than the opponents, but long
clouts were contributed by both
teams. The M. S. P.s also allowed
the other fellows to make the
most errors. The numerous mis-
cues detracted somewhat from the
general interest displayed in the
game, but everybody felt better
when it became apparent the home
team would win. After the third
inning the local defense frightened
up and the visitors only got one
runner past second base for the re-
mainder of the game. The visitors
found Wells for six hits in the first
four innings but failed to get a
safe during the balance of the
game. Lew led the battery at
tack for the locals getting a triple
and two singles out of four trips
to the plate. Fan also cracked out
a double and a single. The game
was played in the remarkably
quick time of eighty minutes and
everybody had a chance to talk a
bit after the game was over. The
all absorbing topic of Giants VS..
White Sox in the next Worlds
Series seemed to have the most at
tention.
FIRST
Root hit to right field and East
coming in on the gallop missed the
sphere which rolled far enough to
enable the runner to make the Cir
cult. Lindau struck out. Wells
fumbled Snider's easy roller.
Snider went to second on Well s
low throw to catch him mapping.
Hervin out, Wells to Lohr. Gil
more struck out. One run, one
hit, two errors.
Fan out, Root to Nelson. East
was safe on Lindau's boot of his
grounder. East then stole second.
Lew tripled to center, scoring
East. Heine then rolled ground
er to Hervin, who tossed Lew out
at the plate. Gil singled to deep
short and was safe at second when
Lindau dropped the throw, Heine
scoring on the play. Har out,
Snider to Nelson. Two runs, two
hits, two errors.
SECOND
Switzger singled. Nelson was
safe when his grounder bounced
out of Bran's mitt. Both runners
advanced on Rusche's out, Bran to
Lohr. Rasmussen out, Lew to
Lohr, Switzger scoring and Nelson
taking third on the out. Root
struck out. One run, one hit, one
error.
Bran lifted fly to Gilmore.
Lohr out, Lindau to Nelson. Wells
drew base on balls. Fan hoisted
to Rasmussen. No runs, no hits,
no errors.
Lindau doubled to center. Suider
lined a hot one to Bran, who made
a nice catch and toss to Lew, but
the latter dropped the ball and
jimmed the double play. Hervin
scratched an infeld hit and stole
second. Lindau scored and Her
vim took third on Gilmore's sacri-
flee, Wells to Lohr. Switzger
doubled to center. scoring Hervin.
Nelson struck out. Two runs,
three hits, one error.
East singled to center, then stole
second. Lew singled to right,
scoring East, and then went to Sec
ond while Rasmussen fumbled the
ball. Heine popped to Nelson.
Gil hoisted to Gilmore. Lew was
caught stealing, Switzger to Root.
