DISABLED SOLDIERS.

Whatever stand the government eventually takes on the soldier bonus question it wants to and is trying to take care of the disabled soldiers. An investigator has just been in New Britain to look up those known by the government to have been disabled but from whom the government has not heard. The investigator will find some of them and present the advantages of vocational training offered by the gov ernment at it's expense.
 But there will be disabled soldiers who will not be found. They should obtain all the information available on this subject before spurning IL.

BOY SCOUTS WIN ABROAD.

Let every Boy Scout hold his head a little higher. Let every Boy Scout tell about it.
 For the Boy Scouts from this coun- try have been given first place in the biggest of all the scouting contests being held in London. Boy Scouts from thirty other countries competed. and the voting for the winner was done by the people who witnessed the exhibition.
 Included in this contest were fire fighting, ambulance work, first aid, treatment for injuries received in train collision, areoplane accidents, shipwrecks. floods. earthquakes, run away horses. Then there was hut, bridge. camp building and cooking.
 Right here and now many of our boys are practising these things. It should put new impetus into their work and play to know that members of their organization. which. a few years from now. will turn them Into
New Britain herald., 1920-08-13

Perhaps they have lost their sight or for some other reason do not read the papers. Their friends, or even chance acquaintances should tell them of these opportunities and should take the trouble to write to the War Department for them.
 Vocational training sounds rath- CT appalling. and probably many a soldier has passed the thought by without serious consideration. Many may think it is something impract- able or something which will not do them any especial good. They should be shown otherwise.
 And there are many of these dis abled men whose minds have not re- covered their normal energy and who have not taken the trouble to look the matter up. Whether a man was shell shocked or not, all have suffered mentally more or less from the effects of their participation in the war. They, some of them, may be merely waiting" or intend to look the mat ter up some day
 These are the men who should be helped. Vocational training of the government offers education in pro- fessions and trades, and gives every disabled soldier chance to learn how to make a good living They or their acquaintances should look it up now. The sooner they begin, the sooner they will be benefited.
 A letter to the War Department giving the soldiers corret address will do the business.

FAMILY REUNINONs.

Yesterday a family reunion was held in this city. There were forty i've members of the family present. What will family reunions be a gen. eration from today-two generations? :?
 In times of high cost of living it displays little act, to say the least. to mention the perpetual joy of be- ing one of or a parent of a large family. It Is hard to live. It is hard to take proper care of the little ones and to clothe and feed them.
 But the custom of the small fami- ly began before the high cost of liv- ing hit us. It was prevalent years ago. The poorer people seemed to be the only ones who did not alter course nature has provided for the popuIating of the earth. It was out of style to have many. or even a few children.
 Hence the question: What will a family reunion be a generation or two from today? How many proud par ents. grandparents and great grand parents will then boast of the re- union of those of their blood. and their numbers?
 Youth and young middle age has been prolonged. In dress and habit men and women of today remain young much longer. in appearance at least. than did their parents. Ex- cluding the war period when it was considered wrong to entertain and to celebrate any events except war vic tories. men and women have a gayer time today than formerly.
 Does the gayety in youth and young middle age pay more than the hap piness that comes from the sur rounding of oneself by offspring. Most of one's life is passed after ones parents are dead. One is quite apt to be alone in the matter of blood relations. The choice has to be made Will the old American family re- union" become a thing of the past?

COUNTY FAIRS PONZI.

Most people have attended The County Fair" The fair may not have been held in this community or state. but far back in childhood's recol- lection there must be q county fair. or else one had not quite lived.
 The horse races were not so inter esting to the child as to the grown man. The exhibitions of livestock and farming implements bored many. But tho child loved the gaudily paint cd little tents wherein were dis played wonders Of the earth and sea; loved the stands where taffy was sold, and red lemonade; loved the hoarse shouting of the man who sold won derful trinkets for ridicuiously low prices. The older people liked them, too, though they didn't talk of them much.
 And among these. standing prob ably in buggy. with open boxes at his side. was an especially striking looking man with a striking person. ality. Perhaps he sold a package containing one hair comb. one collar button. one guaranteed" ring. one paper of pins and one fountain pen all for the small price of 8 quarter of a dollar.
 If the sales come slowly perhaps the vendor will cry out: T make no promises-but watch what give the a st. A buy. The vendor would give the package. would return the purchasers quarter and hand him an additional quarter. The buyer had doubled his money and obtained the prize package besides. Then the man would repeat tho operation with something which he sold for 50 cents. then a dollar in each case selling fewer and fewer, but having more bidders than he could handle.
 At last he would sell something for i've dollars. Many would pur- chase eagerly. expecting to make five additional dollars.
 Then. suddenly. the vendor would close his boxes yell to his horse and drive away.
 Perhaps. somewhere. some time. the faker. liquidated his implied obliga- tions. Perhaps. somewhere, some time. Ponzi will pay his notes. Both have made money for some people who got in early and were innocent ly used as "come-ons". Perhaps ponzi Is not at all like the county fair faker. But the likeness. as things look today. when he Is arrested. is striking.
