BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program In
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys loaf OF bread for less than
an American can, but It Is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying 500, 100000 a year toward the
cost of II.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain IL taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over TO the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf OF four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at Q cents and the one pound loaf at b
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction. the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents

WHAT TAXES MEAN.

Let our people learn that the pay
ing of taxes for worthy purposes is
a patriotic duty.
One Of the tests of patriotism is
the willingness to pay just share
of taxes.
Remember you cannot conjure or
legislate prosperity into existence; il
can come only as result of the right
kind Of people who have been prop
srly trained.
We are too poor not to educate
our people; an ignorant people must
remain poor. The per capita Of
wealth of the various states of the
Union is in proportion to the tax levy
for education of each state.

forded by the state for his or her

DO not confuse education with
mere "book learning" Some Of the
greatest nonenities know the most

the state free from tick infestation

FAIRGROUNDS SHOULD
HAVE EQUIPMENT

The Parent-Teachers Associations
are trying to raise money with
which to buy equipment for the play
grounds Of the city. 1t Is hoped that
the community will contribute liber-
ally to the worthy movement and
make it possible for the children to
spend part of each day in whole
some exercise in Gods open air.
Well equipped Fairgrounds are
needed because they develop: ID
Health--By spontaneous outdoor ex-
ercise. (2) Initiative-By forcing
the child to make his own decisions.
t3) Purity of mind By keeping the
child active in wholesome surround
ings. (4) .Co-operston--By teach.
ing the child to give and take assis-
tance. go Ambition--By teaching
the child that leadership is the re-
suit Of successful endeavor. t6)
Honesty--By causing the child to re-
pudiate any success that does not
come through fair play. (7) Imagi-
nation--By lifting the child out of
the common place and filling him
with enthusiasm. (8l Self-confidence
BY giving the child some response
bility in the games. (9) Justiee-By
teaching the child to have consider
alton for those who are physically
and mentally weaker.
Well equipped Fairgrounds di-
minish. (l) Idleness-By keeping
the child constantly employed. (2)
Delinquency-By making school
work pleasant and inviting. (3) Ex-
clusiyeness-By giving each some
part in the game. (4l Unfairness---
BY teaching true sportsmanship. (5)
Gang spirit-By diverting the spirit
of leadership in the right direction.
60 Selfishness--By encouraging the
child to help others. CD Rowdyism ---
BY furnishing influences that foster
courtesy and selfrespect. (S) Temp
tations-Bykeeping the children off
the streets. COZ Reformatories- BY

energy,
He who helps the child helps hui
manity, for the youth of the nation
