room is supplemented, however, with
practical training along Industrial and
other lines. For instance, the boys
are given courses in practical farm
work on the farms which have been
purchased and are operated by the
homes, livestock production, carpenter
ing tinwork, Plumbing, laundrying, and
the like, as well as courses in business
for those who show special adapta-
ton for that line of work.
The school room work for the girls
is supplemented with the study of mu-
sic, domestic science, stenography and
the like. Large attention is given to
the religious life Of the children, also,
and this is given emphasis in the
daily chapel services, and in the Sun,
day School and preaching. services on
the Sabbath.
The orphan children respond readily
to the opportunities and, privileges af-

credited with the statement that Bri-

department has prepared proposals
for their amendment, but nothing has
been done to carry them into effect.

"The world today is glutted with government
securities, which include both bonds and the med
ium of circulation known as currency, and the
sooner we begin the process of reducing both the
sooner can we figure on lower cost of living.
From the standpoint Of the student of econ
omics. it is absolutely futile for peace industry
to wait longer for pre-war commodity prices, and
everything should be done to encourage the re-
sumption of peace business, which alone can &C
complish what we all desire.
''In other words, the production of new wealth
is absolutely essential for the reduction of costs.
The normal way to reduce the price of wheat is
through the farms producing large quantity.
That is to say, we must place the emphasis on a
greater production rather than upon consumption
of commodities, while in the field of govern
mental securities the opposite is the end to be
accomplished"
Mr.. Arnold calls attention to the fact that in
creasing loans and deposits in equal amounts,
without limitations, shows no added strength to
an institution and may prove even dangerous
Loans within the power to pay are legitimate and
reflect, probably, healthy state of affairs, but
Mr.. Arnold points out that in Europe government
obligations have been made beyond their ability
to pay within stated period. He calls attention,
also, to the fact that much of the governmental
borrowing has been for destruction rather than
construction, and, therefore, much of the money
in these loans has been spent for things which
produce no wealth and have no earning power.

Inter-Church Movement
Conference To Indianapolis

One of the greatest church move
ments in modern times is that which
has come to be known as the Inter
Church World Movement of North
America. This is an enterprise in
which missionary, social service and
educational boards of all denomina-
lions of the United States are parti-
cipating and includes every official
agency of these denominations.
1t has been announced by a
prominent New York Daily as the
greatest religious result OF the war.
It's purpose is to gather all these or
CARNATIONS into one movement for
the rapid extension of the kingdom
throughout every section of this coun-
try and the world. 1t contemplates an
accurate survey of the needs OF both
home and foreign mission fields as
well as the religious educational field
of the denominations. 1t will endeavor
to so understand these needs and SO
plan to meet them as to eliminate
all duplication and overlapping of
work among the denominations. II
will mean the savin gof thousands of
dollars in the erection of church
buildings and also much more salts.
factory and economic distribution OF
ministers and workers in the needy
fields of the church.
The next twelve months are to be
used in conducting an educational
campaign throughout the country as
to the purpose of this great movement
of organized and effective working CO
operation between theh different com
munions in every town. city and state
in the nation. To make an adequate
survey of the present opportunity be
fore the church following which a
great united financial drive in 1920
will be made for the raising of mil.
lions of dollars to be used in carrying
out the plans which shall be agreed
upon by the ruling boards and church
officials of all denominations.
A conference for Indiana which will
outline the whole movement will he
held in Indianapolis beginning Thurs
day, June 5 at o'clock, and will close
Friday at IL o'clock. The conference
will be held in the auditorium OF the

Currency Initiation and Result on Prices

John J. Arnold, vice president of the First
National bank of Chicago, on the solicitation of
the division of public works and construction de-
velopment, information and education service of
the United States department of labor, has made
a statement on Imitation and Prices in which
he says it is futile for industry to wait for pre-
war commodity prices. Mr.. Arnold's statement
is being circulated by the information and edu-
cation service.
The Chicago banker dissents from the popu-
lar opinion that the United States has become
the worlds banker, and points out that we are
a creditor nation only and as such our response
bilities are heavy ones, not without dangerous
possibilities.
"The situation which confronts us is serious"
says Mr.. Arnold, "and it may be necessary that
our government accept from the European gov
ernments further government bonds, or promises
to pay for the interest which will be due from
year to year.
ct is desirable from every viewpoint that gov
ernment financing should be discontinued at the
earliest possible moment. Private enterprise
should be stimulated by private financing which
viii most quickly bring about DETECTION.
''The high cost of commodities and labor, of
course, is partly due to the increased demand for
raw materials and the curtaiment of production
Tor peace purposes.

Paying the Veterans

Congress did commendable thing at the very
outset of its session by passing an appropriation
to make possible the payment of allowances to
families of soldiers and sailors under the war
risk insurance act and to the veterans of the
Civil war.
More than $12,OO0OO0 was held up May be-
cause Of lack of funds and Civil war veteran
checks totalling $3.O00,ooO would have been held
up on June !. if congress had not acted.
Conditions in this nation would have come to
pretty pass if the payments to soldiers and
their dependents would have been held up by lack
Of funds These men risked their lives to per-
petuate- the nation. The money due them is an
honest debt which the republic should pay
promptly. 1t is shame that they should be
forced to stand in line waiting for their money
while other war bills contracted by the govern
ment are paid. They have the first claim to the
q billions raised by the American people for the
prosecution of the war.
The American people will not tolerate pro-
crastination in the voting of money to pay al
lowances to which the soldiers and veterans are
entitled under the law. Small wonder that the
returned soldiers and sailors are becoming rest
less under the delay and the non-fulfillment of
promises. What they want is the money which
belongs to them. They earned it at the risk of
their lives. If a man of military age shirked his
duty, he was clapped into prison and punished.
Why should the men who served be punished by
the withholding Of their allowances, owing to the
failure of the government to provide the funds ?

Who Published the
First Newspapers
In Wayne County?

Beside the long list Of papers print
ed In Richmond. since the founding Of
the city. there have been many other
newspapers started in Wayne county,
some of which are still prosperous.
In Centerville, the first paper pub
ltshed was the Western Emporium,
which was started in 1924 when Gem
teryille was the county seat Of Wayne
county. and lasted only q little while.
John Scott, formerly of the Richmond
Intelligencer, was the publisher In
1897 Septimus Smith, and Cyrus Finch
started the Western Times. The
Times lasted until 1884.
Other Centerville papers were the
Peoples Advocate, which was started
in 1885 as Democratic journal by
Samuel c. Meredith. He soon changed
its politics to Wing and its name to
the Wayne County Chronicle. The
National Patriot, the Wayne County
Record, the News Letter, the Free
Territory Sentinel, 184S. the Indepen-
dent Press, the Wayne County Jour-
nal, 1854. and the Wayne Chronicle
were the names OF other Centerville
ventures. all of which were born,
flourished and died before the Civil
war.
The Cambridge City Reveille. start
ed in 1s45 by James H. Hunt, was the
first Cambridge paper. It was sue
ceeded by the Cambridge City News
in 1850, the Cambridge City Item, in
1852, the Bulletin. 1855. the Flag of
the Free. 1860, and the Journal and
Mirror. These are some of thes ven
lures in Cambridge City prior to the
publication Of the Tribune. This pa.
per was founded by Henry C. Meredith
on May ID, 1859. and after various
ups and downs OF fortune. passed into
the hands Of Frank c. Mosbaugh in
1851. who has published It ever since.
Millions first venture was small
paper started in 1841 by man named
Wiekersham. Other papers of Milton
were shortlived. The Wayne Register
was founded in August, 1875. at Dub
lin. the Hagerstown Exponent was
founded in May, 1875. and the Pro-
tectionist. an anti-slavery paper, was
founded in Newport about 1910.

Return of the Telephone Systems

No time should be lost in returning the tele-
phone systems to private control as speedily as
possible so that former conditions may prevail
and more satisfactory service be performed. The
expenses Of the telephone companies have in.
creased greatly under government control and
the service instead of showing proportionate
improvement, is far from meriting praise Steps
taken by the companies to obtain adequate reve-
nue. have been blocked in certain degree by the
regulatory authorities of the states
Congress should enact legislation at once that
will make possible the return of these properties
so that deterioration of the plants will be fore
stalled and improvement in service follow. A just
settlement with the companies should be made.
