A new HIGH
SCHOOL BUILD &c

The people of Rutledge, have
been working for a number of
years to secure High School
building.
The men, who are interested
most in the construction of this
Ibuilding are, Mr.. Farmer, Mr..
Wester, Mr.. Phillips, Mr. Nance.
Mr.. Talley, all Of the school off
cials and others. think all, who
are interested in the welfare of
the children of their community
ought to help this building.
We must all realize that the
children of today, will in the near
future, fill the places and offices
that our men are now filling
Their ability TO fill these offices
will depend upon The opportuni-
ties they may have.
Our school building is very in.
convenient. We have only three
teachers, who are handicapped
by having SO much work to do.
We have about twenty high school
students, in first and second years,
who are making great progress,
considering the circumstances. If
we had a better building, more
teachers, and more time for each
class period, We would make great
.er progress.
We need good High school
building, with a large auditorium,
a laboratory, domestic science
room, an agricultural and man
uaI training department. a cam
pus of three or more acres, and
u Basemeflt equipped for play in
winter and Bad weather. If we,
had all these conveniences, it
would add much to the welfare
of the children, and the progress
OF the school.
AS Rutledge is the county seat
of Granger county, / am sure ev-
cry one'will agree that this is the
logical place for a first class High
School. Ii we could get this high
school, it would be a great bene-
fit to the county at large.
We could do nothing better
worth while than to present ,he
children and young folks, of
Granger county, with the orpor-
tunities that a first class l.igh
School offers.
The uneducated man looks out
on life through narrow windows,
and thinks the world is small
TO see things as they really
are" is one of the crowning priv
ileges of the educated man, and
to help others to see them 50, is
one Of the greatest services he
can render to the community.
! believe that a thinking peo-
pie, and progressive county
court will finally build this mon
ument in honor of Granger coun.
ty school boys and girls.

a woman's place in the home should
be intermittent and not continuous.
it would do more to take the curse off
of matrimony than anything else in
the world. If husbands would spend
more money on theater tickets for
their wives they would have fewer
doctor bills to pay. Many a divorce
could lie prevented by sending the wife
off on a trip somewhere. for sheer
boredom is at the bottom O. half of
the family quarrels. Husbands and
wives fight in the desperation of
WEAKNESS of each other in order to
put some. pep into domestic life.
Furthermore, women should bear
this in mind: The best loved and
most cherished wives are not those
who are the most domestic, but those
who are most interesting and most
agreeable to live with. A man would
rather have dust in the corners than
cobwebs in his wife's brains. and he
would rather sit down to a plain din
ner that is garnished with pleasant
gossip and fresh ideas than to one that
is cooked to perfection but favored
with dull talk.
Mems IDEALS of women have
changed, tho they may rot know it,
and it's the woman who keeps up with
the times who keeps up with her hus-
band in these days The snail woman
is left alone with her house.

address at the Dedication of Gettysburg
Cemetery, November 10, 1StI3=t
Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this CONT
nent a new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or
any nation SO conceived and so de6i
Gated, can long endure. We are met
on a great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion of that
field as the final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that that
nation might live. 1t is altogether fit
ting and proper that w should do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot
cannot hallow-this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated it far above our
power to add or detract. The world
will little note nor long remember
what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for
us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work that they
have thus far so nobly carried on. 1t
is rather for US to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before us;
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to the cause for
which they here gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this nation
shall. under God. have a new birth of
freedom, and that government of the
people, by the people, and for the peo-
pie, shall not perish from the earth.

If the public be waiting for lower
prices, it is waiting for a reduction in
labor costs. Yet any reduction in la
Dor costs must be effected in the face
,ot continued high living costs, costs
which have increased something like
40 per cent over pre-war prices. EN-
ployers are conversant with this stu
alton and are slow to make any move
which will adversely affect their en-
ployes. So, instead of any drastic re-
vision of prices on goods which might
istinulate buying by the public, wage
scales are being maintained, altho

THE PUBLIC HAS DECIDED.


prevails in this country. appears to
have decided against government own
ership of the railroads. This decision
comes at a time when Great Britain
has just determined upon the nation
alization of her transportation sys-
TENS. The United Kingdoms railway
mileage is only about 23,700. while
ours is more than eleven times as
large. Whatever may have been the
moving impulse for British action the
judgment of the American people has
been based on the following purely
practical considerations: Under pri-
vate control our railway service was
pronounced by competent critics the
best in the world; the capitalization
was the lowest; the wages paid the
highest; and freight and passenger
rates the lowest in the world.
Altho government ownership has
produced efficiency in autocratic coun-
tries like Prussia, 1t has always proved
tries. The defects of the system are
inherent, and the failure cannot be
ascribed to incidental shortcomings.
The theory of government owner
ship in democratic countries, says the
Wollman Review, does not jibe with
experience. Theory claims among
other things the following: That pri-
vate interests care for nothing but div
idends and that service to the public is
a minor consideration; that public
| ownership thru it's centralized control
and as result bring lower rates for
the public; that intelligent Standard
cation will bring better and cheaper
service.
None of these betterments mater
| ializes. 1t is true that private capital
| is egoistic, and that the primary OBJ
! ject to make the business pay. But
any person who contrasts the disci-
| pinned service of a well-managed pri-
vate corporation with the apathy of
employees on a government payroll in
stinctively senses the difference. Pri-
vate capital must give service in order
to obtain profits. Otherwise the bust
ness goes elsewhere. The private ex-
ecutive knows that results depend
upon the efficiency of his personnel,
and his subordinates are governed ac-
cordingly. The government bureau
chief is baffled upon all sides by tho
inertia produced by security of posi-
ton. and his efforts are correspond
ingly restricted. When competitive
energy is supplanted by bureaucratic
indifference. the public is the chief
sufferer.
When private consultations of sew
eral constituent companies are effect
ed important administrative econo-
mics are achieved. The opposite re-
suit is obtained under governmental
Capitalization.
The decline in efficiency and the
rise in administrative costs are due
to one cause.-the unfailing tendency
to increase clerical and routine STATS
at the expense of high grade executive
talent.
/ In this connection it is interesting
to note that when the government
took over the operation of the rail-
ways in this country much satisfaction
was expressed in high quarters over
certain alleged economies. The num-
Der of railway officials drawing $4,000
or over was reduced from 1926 tc
2.061 and the total annual salary OF
these officials was reduced about
$4,625.000. Such Economies how
ever. did not prevent a considerable
rise in the railroad payroll.
