meeting of the inaugural committee
called here today by Senator Whitney
of Morristown, the chairman, and
which ]. Harry Foley. who will be Mr..
Edwards private secretary, attended
as the representative of the incoming
chief executive.
The most important change con
templated is the abandoning of the
military feature of the ceremonies.
This was originally considered as
coming from Mr.. Edwards, but II Is
understood nov that in view of the
extra expense, amounting to several
thousand dollars, which a show of
the National Guard would entail, the
governor-elect has practically decided
not to include 1t. While the exercises
will be held in the open, weather per-
uniting, they will be conducted on
the balcony at the front of the state
capitol building and not at h Old
Barracks, as previously planned.

Waste in Extension

waste IN Extension
The department of agriculture and
the departments of agricultural ex-
tension are among the most laudible
departments of the states activities,
but 1t takes only casual observer to
see that they are spending some
money to good effect and in some of
their activities they are wasting it
with an Indifference that is exas-
perating. It is very trying on peo-
pies patience to see the very poor
people economizing to pay their taxes
and others living in greatest ease
spending that money doing some
thing that counts for little or moth
ing, and yet holding out the claim
that it is done in the interest of the
farmer. We Americans get a good
idea, we see what an. energetic per-
son can do when he understands the
work and his heart is in it, and then
we establish bureau to get that
kind of work done and we hire lot
of people to do that in every county
or district, and those persons get
busy and apply for assistants, ask for
a stenographer each, and presently
we find that the expense has gone
beyond all expectations and they are
not accomplishing what was aimed at

see how many of them are sincere
workers and how many are merely
filling positions hoping the job will
last a long time.
Publisher Misguided
One of the difficulties about pub
fishing such articles as these, is that
people read carelessly and get the
wrong conclusions and then 60 about
talking from mistaken ideas. Some
people, having read the foregoing
paragraphs, would say that this
writer is opposed to the farm bureau
and all farm extension work. The
fact is we value those things highly
and merely warn our readers that it
is so popular and affords such de-
sirable positions that unprincipled
and impractical people will seek po-
sitions in those departments and the
first thing we know the work will be
in as deep disrepute as the widows
pension practice. J, This paper has
often pointed out the weak points in
the administration of the widows
pension law, and have said that pro-
bate judges were too lenient in al
lowing applications that should be
refused. OF course that never makes
a probate Judge feel good to have his
work criticised. A probate judge has
the placing of large number Of
legal notices that have to be pub
lished in some local newspaper, and
when we criticise the Judge he has to
pretty good sport If he sends his
notices to us for publication. Such
notices bring the. publisher from
about $500 to $4,000 apiece accord
ing to their length and the number
of times they are repeated, and here
again is an Example of how a news
paper loses money by pointing out
the flaws or what we think are flaws

in the beginning. For example,
there is the widows pension act,
splendid in theory, and when we
talked it up and presented the plan
to the legislature for enacting into
law, we thought it was going to re-
lieve all the needy, purify society,
lift temptation from homes where
the shadow fell, and sustain the
splendid chivalry of our western
people. In actual practice it has
helped comparatively few worthy
persons, it has furnished one more
source of political corruption thru
which politicians could operate, it
has attracted the attention of every
selfish and unprincipled person who
by a loose Interpretation of the law
could get her hand into the public
crib, it has done more to keep taxes
doubling every three years than any
other source of county expense and It
has had the least opposition of any of
the outrageous gratis, because men
haven't the courage to say. anything
against aiding the widows and
orphans since it exposes them to the
contempt of every one who cares to
point to him and say that he is
against relieving distress in the
home Of widows and orphans, and he
is dubbed miser and Shylock. The
law was not designed to help any
body but the worthy, deserving poor
whose morals were right and likely
to stay right If helped. 1t was not
designed to enable well-to-do widows
to add that much to their income,
nor to enable widows to quit work
and live in idleness because the PEN
sion added to what they had would
enable them to do that, nor it was
not designed to make all the tax
payers furnish money to widows to
invest in property for speculation nor
to build larger houses than could be
enjoyed by the average family that

or county government, and the
closer home one gets with his critic

stimulating the business of his
competitor. But not all publishers

Ditching Good Things

don't want to spend many
chapters on buying goods, for the
state, 1. want to tell you something
you don't know about the farm
bureau - that young institution
that is growing SO rapidly and so
loosely it bears possibilities of the
greatest good or the greatest abuses.
1t is said to be expanding $500 a day
in Idaho and doing vast amount of
good. AS is usual with something
new and popular, it affords opportun-
ity for vast amount Of harm If the
wrong individuals take the manage
ment and go on unmolested for a
considerable period before people

strict supervision to turn its energies

helped to pay that tax, nor to en-
able the widows to buy monographs
and pianos and ball dresses and
pumps for social affairs, yet all these
abuses promptly crept into the ap-
plication of the law, and there was
rivalry among the widows to see who
could get away with the most. Fruits
and groceries bought with public
money have been used in giving mid
night suppers by hOstesses so scarlet
that neighbors would complain and
drive them out, and yet it requires
vigorous action on the part Of some
courageous person or persons to get
the names Of such pensioners
stricken from the widows pension
list and to actually stop the delivery
of the warrants.
All Got Fooled
If we of the "'up-lift" sort who
originally asked for such a law, had
been told that nearly all Of the pro-
bate judges in the state would fol-,
low the lines of least resistance and
grant pensions to practically every
body that made a proper showing on
the surface Of the case, and that SO
or 60 per cent of the pensioners
would not be as good citizens after
the pension as they were
before, there would have been an
awful row in the ranks of the IDEAL
lists seeking up-lift legislation to
usher in the millennium.

What l have said of the workings
Of the widows pension law is not

PEACE TREATY MADE
SHANTUNC "SCRAP OF
PAPER"-MRS. TROUT

1--WE did not approve OF Germany's
dastardly step in discarding the treaty
with Belgium as a scrap of paper!
Why should we try to make the treaty
of Japan and China over the Shan
tung question another scrap of
paper?" Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout
asked this question in an interview
Thursday noon.
Mrs. Trout pointed to the fact that
Japan made an agreement with China
for occupation for stipulated time
after Germany had been put out of
this little piece of ground, which she
said is no longer than the distance
from Lincoln park to Washington
park in Chicago.

FLIES SCARCE HERE
THIS SUMMER; KILL
NOW FOR next: YEAR

Very few flies, in comparison with
the usual number, made their homes
in Richmond this summer, due to the
clean and healthful surroundings
maintained by local residents, said DR..
]. H. Kinsey. city health officer,
Thursday morning.
However, If the same standard is to
be kept up next summer, now is the
time to get rid Of the blowflies, said
the doctor The blowfly, which can
be designated by it's size and color, a
blue-black, is the one which lay the
eggs in the fall, by which next years
flies are Matched.
Keep Garbage Cans CIosed!
The most successful way of getting
rid of the pests, continued the doctor,
Is to keep up the clean and healthful
living conditions. Garbage cans, and
other places where flies are fond Of
sworming should be kept tight and
sanitary. Also fly traps can be very
useful, if kept in cool places, and in
the rear Of homes, bakeries, grocery
stores, etc, as a city ordinance pro-
hibits fly traps on sidewalks, and
other public passways.
The blowfly, is wise fly, conclud-
ed the doctor, and the best way to
catch him is to keep your traps in cool
places, as he is very much against the
sun.
Fly killers should remember, that
"a swat now will save a million later"

Wayne Must Again Send
Tuition Money To Other
Counties Under 1919 Ruling

Although Wayne county is not d.
rectly affected by the recent ruling of
Eli Stansbury. encouragement in re-
gard to the distribution of school de
flciency funds, the old question Of
Wayne county paying for the tuition
OF other counties in the state, is
brought up by the ruling.
A letter was received by c. o. Will
Jams, county superintendent of schools
from Attorney-General Stansbury,
Thursday, explaining the ruling.
Under the 1919 law, school corpor-
atoms with eight months terms, must
have 75-cent levy in order to receive
aid from the state fund. whereas in
former years a 25-cent levy was all
that was necessary to receive this aid,
The law also provides that no lev
les could be increased, making it i'm
possible to get state aid under the
1919 law, with het 1919 levy. The rul-
solves the problem by making it pos
sible to base the distribution on tho
1918 levy.
Wayne county, however, with a levy
of from 20 to 60 cents. does not get
a share of the state fund, but instead
sends about $4,000 annually to the
fund for distribution to her poorer
neighbors.
Wayne county is short of children
but Is long on wealth, so we have to
help pay for the tuition of other coun-
ties, where the levy is smaller than in
Wayne" Superintendent Williams
said

Have Discharge Papers
Recorded, Urges Wright

Discharged soldiers are urged to
have their discharge certificates re-
corded by Sergeant Wright, local army
recruiting officer. In this way there
will be no danger of loss in case it
becomes necessary to send the dis
charge to Washington or some other
place, he said.
There are a number Of men who
have asked me about allotments, vic
tory buttons and the like, but when
tell them to send their discharge
papers to Washington, or Indianapolis,
they refuse" Sergeant Wright said
Thursday IF they had their discharge
recorded it wouldn't make any differ
ence if they were lost, as long as the
discharge was on record in the court
house"
Soldiers, sailors and marines may
have their discharges recorded with
out charge by the county recorder in
the court house.
