FARMERS BUY LIBERTY BONDS
II. 4. Coleman. state Leader County Aeon

That the Indiana farmers buy their proper proper
tion of Liberty bonds is evidenced by the way
purely agricultural sections go "over the top"
scribng their quota. This fact reflects the great pa
triotism by the farming people. farmer, in
all of the years past, has not been bond buyer,
fact he has had for all of the availabl working
capital e could command. The development Of
country during the past so years has taxed the
farmers their limit This evidenced by
the great number of farm mortgages and loans Sc
cured from local banks. During the last few years,
the prices for farm products have been that it
has been possible for great many farmers catch
up with Indebtedness and in many cases ac-
cumulate a little surplus cash, which can in most
and should be used in the further development
of the farm.
However at this time with the country calling for
the loan of every available dollar prosecute the
worldwide the farmer is confronted with new
phase of business relationships because at the same
time, the call comes TO him TO greatly increase his
agricultural production. Just the country utiliz-
ing its credit should the farmer make use OF a
power that Of collateral security. The man with

products was their glassware, the
very name Of which is synonymous
with high grade art glass to this day.
This glass was produced on the is
land Of Murano, which lay in the
lagoon. and was part Of the city of
Venice, and almost every person liv-
ing on that island was connected in
some way or another with the glass
works.
The precise method OF making the
glass was kept as "A secret Of the

Although large numbers of chill
dren might have been constantly
employed at the lighter part Of this
work. and although the profits might
have been greatly increased BY per-
hitting the unrestricted use of child
labor during the entire year. the
Venetian government passed a law
absolutely forbidding children to do
work Of any sort which exposed them
to undue heat at any time during
the summer months.

No sooner had the war settled down
into its stride i'm England and France
than all the official and private
agencies for saving infant life and
promoting child welfare redoubled
their activities with most gratifying
results. The infant mortality and
child death-rate in both these coun-
tries was quickly reduced nearly so
per cent, thus lowering the total
death rate OF their whole civilian
population TO a lower level than he

This is probably one of the earliest
child labor laws in existence, and is
thoroughly typical OF the foresight
wisdom and humanity which char
acterized the Venetian government
of that time. and which made Venice
one of the greatest cities Of Medieval
Europe. That they were slIilful bus
mess men as well as humanita rians
is shown by the fact that they were
the ones who invented the entire
system Of percentage, which had to
be expressed in various awkward
split fractions. However. the wis
dom OF Venice in protecting her
child workers was far from being
generally appreciated and adopted
as was shown by an investigation of
mining conditions in England sew
eral centuries later. At that time.
unions were unheard of and a coal
mine dug its shafts and tunnels to

Such a thing as raising the roof of

with the rope between his teeth.
Many children were employed in this
kind of work, and an investigation
Of the conditions was ordered late
in the 18th century. The aged and
respectable head of one of the coal
mines solemnly swore that il was a
most excellent thing for children to
be put into the mines as young as
possible so that their spines, which
were still soft, might become
properly curved and twisted as they
grew up.
There is no doubt that he meant
this with all sincerity and was not
an unduly hard hearted man while
labor conditions in England were
unquestionably as good or better
than. in any other continental coun-
try at that period. However, con-
ditions have most certainly changed
since then. the welfare OF the child
is more and more carefully guarded
and protected every year, and in a
generation from now our descend
ants will look back upon us and our
partial safeguards in about the way
that we look back on that mine
owner OF more than a century ago.

Three Pound Sugar Rule Restored

Beginning November first through
out the United States the sugar allow
ance for homes and also for public
eating places will be at the old rate
OF three pounds per person, or nine
ty meals served. per month, says
telegraphic ruling received from the
United States Food Administration.
The change does not affect manufact-
urers, however, and sugar certificates
will be required from these as here
tofore. Bakeries, retail merchants,
saloons, soda fountains, etc, will be
rationed as announced some time ago.
Several causes contribute to the in
crease in sugar allotment, according
to Mr.. Hoover's wire. New wooden
ships for the coastwise trade, tempor-
airy cessation of cereal crop move
ment relieving rail and water equip
ment, and the patriotic saving OF
Americans, all have resulted in addit-
ional available sugar, so that for sew
efal months at least it is believed
that the three pound rule will be
! maintained.
Any head OF a family may purchase
his full months allotment al the rate
of three pounds for each person to be
fed, but grocers will continue to keep
4 strict record of all sales and users
OF sugar who exceed their allowance
will be penalized.
1t is believed by the Food Admin
istration that the increase in sugar
will compensate for the saving in 9TH
er necessary commodities which must
be patriotically observed if we are to
feed Our army and the twenty mill
lion people among the Allies.

for Nevada to pay for spoiled wheat

according to a statement issued by
II. A. Lennon in Reno recently.
"Information has reached this office
that feed wheat is being sold at prot
iteering prices, both by farmers and
by the grain trade" commented Mr..
Lennon. ''It is even alleged that
certain farmers have been guilty OF
mixing water, dirt and other waste
matter in with good wheat, so that
the mill will refuse the grain and 1t
may be sold for higher prices as feed.
Warning is given that this constitutes
criminal practice under the Food
Control Act, and that all offenders
caught doing this will be penalized.
Waste of food, or adulteration OF

treason when every pound of food is
