THE.HAND|CAp
OF ILL|TERACY

The government of the United
States is spending millions of dol
lars TO bring the latest word in sci
ence to the aid of the American
farmer. Colleges are fostered; the
extension service reaches into every
corner Of the land, trained men and
women go to thousands of farmers 8
homes to instruct them In hygiene,
food preservation and labor saving.
Thousands of publications are
scattered gratuitously among the
workers Of. the soil, and yet We have
a number of millions of farmers who
are unable to receive and realize a
great part of this proffered benefit
and assistance because of their ina
bility to read in any language. This
condition is especially bad in the
south land.
There may be good reason why
they have missed the opportunity to
acquire the elements of an education,
but there is no good reason why any
one OF the pesent generation of
children should come to maturity
without at least grammer school
education. The application of scien-
tifie principles to agriculture, the use
of complicated machinery. the neces-
sity of working knowledge of eco
nomic processes, al. lenal for sue

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club. held at the f. L. Knapp store
Monday evening. new officers were
elected for the following year, as
follows
President. Rev. f. G. Ingraham
Vice-president, Louis Allen, -
Secretary. c. r. Graves.
Treasurer, J. n. Quinn.
Various matters deemed of inter
est to the progress OF the town were
considered.
The matter OF taking over the f.
lectric Light Plant or OF interesting
members of the Commercial Club in
forming corporation for the pur-
pose OF taking ii over We're eonsid-
cred Various views were present
ed.
II was decided that vital pre-
liminary step to any action was the
matter of Incorporation, and mo-
tion was carried to speed up along
this line.
The present plant is now useless
to anyone; the reason for the situa-
tion it is useless to consider except
as 1t may enable to avoid repeating
the mistakes of the past.
The owners of the plant aA will
ing to sell at what they consider a
reasonable price. 1t is freely admit
te dthat the engine is rot the type
of engine that they would buy If
they were to buy now, but the price
OF putting in new outfit that would
provide with reasonable certainty
for the future, appears to be prohi-
bitiye.
Several parties have been wait
ing for chance to use a current
provided by city plant They will
not wait much longer. Unless such
opportunity Is soon afforded them,
we may look for Delcoe and Lally
lights to be installed, and then these
parties will feel that they cannot
afford to take on the new current.
II it was possible to defer action
until little later We would all like
1t, but 1t would appear to be place
where we must act soon, or foreclose
the opportunity for well lighted
town for some time.
Other matters considered we're
rural routes and telephone coanec-
tions. Committees were appointed
to investigate and report on both
of these activities.
Another meeting is TO be held
next Monday evening.

this week looking up location He
reported that he had been Informed
that there was no store here. When
he found out to the contrary, he
betook himself home. not being dis

made to him. 1t is not good thing
to make false reports to secure bus

now What are the facts? In 1913,
the average price Of 100 pounds Of
live hogs was equivalent TO 1876 ba-
shells of corn, current price. The
average price of 100 pounds of live
hogs for 1917 was approximately
equal to the price of 9.75 bushels OF
corn. The federal commission, ap-
pointed to investigate The cost OF
producing, and to recommend prices
OF live hogs, said that for ten years,
ending with 1916, the average price
OF live hogs has been equivalent to
the current price Of l167 bushels of
corn. and that there was. in their
opinion, no profit to the farmer in
producing this pork at that ratio;
meaning that the corn would have
sold in the market for as much or
more money than the hogs brought
and the farmer would have avoided
Nlt Iost VI idpoi ia iNNutHS nhN Inv
hazard of loss by accident and dis
ease
From the above, it will be seen
that during 1917 the farmer receiy-
ed for each 90 pounds Of live hogs
marketed the value OF three to four
bushels of corn less than the average
during the ten years Just preceding
SO to $5 less than the corn fed was
worth In the market. Yet this
sage" tells them that they have
never been able to get better prices
for hogs than now. The assurance
made by the government through
the food administration to the farm
ers that they should receive for 100
pounds Of live hogs the value Of thir-
teen bushels OF corn, current price,
was the cause OF the large output
of hogs during recent months. That
promise was ruthlessly broken. The
apologists for the administration
claimed that the promise made by
the administration was so far as in
its power" but it would be difficult
to convince the farmer, whom the
government not only restricted in
his price Of wheat, but told him just
how many pounds Of -four made from
that wheat, he was permitted to eat
daily, cannot say at what price the
packing combine" shall pay for live
hogs

"The President recently asked for
the designations of two members of
the Civil Service Commission, and it is
charged that the reason was the refus-
al of the members to ignore the reg
ulations relative TO selection of post
masters. Few cares who occupies the
Office Of Civil Service Commissioner,
just so he is honest and capable. But
all good Americans care whether an
honest member of the Commission has
been ousted for loyalty to his oath of
Office. The public is deeply interest
ed in matter of this kind, for there
is involved the question of order
against ENTHUSIASTICALLY against
dishonesty-official virtue against Off
cial mendacity good government
against bad government.
Unfortunately the people are igno-
rant Of the facts. Announcement was
made that the President had requested
the designations of two Commissioners,
and the rest has been unofficial insin-
uation, exposition of seemingly closely
related facts, and conclusions that
may or may not be well founded.
Whether Mr.. Burleson violated or at
tempted to violate the civil service
regulations is minor question. Mr..
Burleson did not and could not remove

MASSACHUSETTS,


In reply to President Samuel Comp.
ers relative TO the strike" Of the Bos-
ton police, Governor Coolidge said
You can depend upon me to sup
port you i'm every legal action and
sound policy. | am equally de-
termined TO defend the sovereign
ty Of Massachusetts, and maintain
the authority and jurisdiction over
the public officers. where it has
been placed by the constitution
and laws of her people.
The right of the police Of Boston
to affiliate has always been ques-
toned, never granted. II is now
prohibited. 49, There is no right
TO strike against the public
safety by anybody, anywhere, any
time.
II Is fortunate Massachusetts has a
Governor, who, like its war Governor
Andrews, has the determination and
patriotism TO stand firm for the SOW
ereignty and dignity Of the Common
wealth Massachusetts has had a
proud history. She has stood for the
highest type Of Amcricanism and the
best kind of citizenship. She gave the
country a Webster. who first sounded
the clear notes Of nationality and in
tcrpreted the constitution in the light
Of the Union. She gave the country
Sumner, Garrison, a Phillips, to say
nothing of the Revolutionary heroes.
She has stood for the best and highest
in literature, culture and industrial
progress She was the first to defend
American liberty and the first TO sacri-
fee her sons in the Rebellion. For
tunate indeed is Massachusetts in pos
sessing Governor who holds fast to
the traditions Of the past and raises
the flag Of state and national SOW
ereignty over the flag Of discord and
defiance. In his famous reply to
Hayne, Daniel Webster said of Massa-
chusetts.--
And sir, where American liber-
ty raised its first voice, and where
it's youth was nurtured and sus-
tanned, there it still lives, in the
strength Of its manhood and full
Of its original spirit. If discord
and disunion shall hawk il and
tear il, If folly and madness, il
uneasiness under salutary and
necessary restraint shall succeed
in separating il from the Union,
by which alone it's existence is
made sure. il will stand in the end
by the side of that cradle in which
It's infancy was rocked; II will
stretch forth its arms with what
ever vigor II may still retain over
the friends who gather round il,
and il will fall at last, II fall it
must, amidst the proudest monu-
ments Of its own glory and on the
very spot of its origin.
As Massachusetts, led in liberty, so
now she leads in establishing gov
ernment Of law. VIII the other states
and the national government follow
