NEWSPAPERS DESERVE
CONSIDERATION

The Board Of Supervisors Of La
fayette county refuse to publish their
proceedings in the county paper, be-
cause, we judge, they think the paper
should publish their proceedings "as
a matter of news" without charge;
but the local paper, the Oxford
Eagle, persistently and rightly re-
fuses to accede TO the demands Of
the board.
IL is to be deplored that a set of
men holding THE MOST IMPoR-
TANT OFFICE IN THE COUNTY,
are so narrow as to think newspapers
should not make any charge for
printing the proceedings of the
board Of supervisors. A newspapers
space is its stock in trade just as
the goods on the shelves are the stock
in trade of the merchants; or the
advice of lawyer is his stock in
trade by sale Of which he makes his
living. The Board of supervisors
would not think of asking a mer-
chant to furnish the county goods Of
any sort because the goods are to
be used for the court house or Jail,
or on a bridge under construction.
Neither would they expect a lawyer
to furnish his advice free Of charge.
Then, why should they expect a
newspaper TO furnish its space free
for the publication of false economy
that boards of supervisors should dis
card from their mind.
Boards of supervisors often make
mistakes in letting contracts for
printing TO the lowest bidders. The
law says they shall let contracts te
the Lowest and best" bidder and tina,
they have the right to reject "any
and all bids" They take advantage
Of this provision of the law when il
suits their purposes TO reject bic
and when it suits them to accept 4

team, operate a machine, clerk, do
Office work, or the like. While one
line of work is just as honorable as
another, you can take your choice
take the position that pays the best
salary-if you begin taking training
now, as the line of work that you will
do, will be the line of work that you
are best trained to do.

men, are receiving kilograms from

AID FOR. RUSSIA
PLAN OF FRIENDS

The work of the Friends will be ex-
tended in France and in Russia when
peace is declared and in the latter
country great deal of reconstruction
will be necessary, according to Ger
trude Simms, of the American Friend
Board.
In Russia now there are about thir-
ty workers. The Russian language
will be taught all over the United
States by the Friends to persons who
wish to go to Russia with the Recon
struction Units. In France there will
not be as great need for workers as
during the war. There are several
hundred American workers in France
at present and this number will be
increased. Most of the workers in
Russia now are English.

yet at the end will bring rest.
Such thoughts disclose glimpses of
the soul and inner life of the author,
yet they may also be regarded as ex-
pressions of mood. For it can not
be believed by those who know how
keenly Mr.. Foulke has been interest
ed in public affairs, especially as they
related to the improvement and well
fare of our institutions. and how ac-
lively he has worked to promote good
causes, that even as age comes on and
his physical energies decline, he can
lose concern for the common welfare
This public aspect of his activities is
accompanied by group of wonder
full friendships, one of which was re-
vently celebrated in sonnet in The
Star, addressed by him to another
grand old man of Indiana, Lucius B.
Swift
Throughout his career. Mr.. Foulke
has been a forward looking man;
publicist, not self-seeking, and there
fore with clearer vision, he has seen
the right and proclaimed it when it
was not always visible to those about
him. 1t is good for a community to
possess such men; it has been good
for Indiana that it has had such cit
