Boxers Punishment.
By THORNTON w. BURGESS,

If you are taught not to forget
Your Punishment you'n ne'er reg sesres IT,
Mrs. Bear is one of those mothers
who believes heartily in punishm ent.
She believes that the cub who is
. never punished for wrongdoing is al
most sure to grow up to be of little
! or no use in the Great World, pro-
,ided he lives to grow up at all. She
doubts il he will live to grow up at
all. So her cubs are promptly pun
ished when they disobey or do wrong.
and they are punished in way to
make them remember.
Now. when Boxer, the lost little
cub who had had such a dreadful
time. saw Mother Bear and his sister.
lies were at an end. He was so glad
TO see them that he squealed with
joy as he started to run toward them.
Perhaps you can guess what his feel
ings were when he was stopped short
by growl. such an ugly growl, from
Mother Bear. He wanted-oh. how
he wanted-to rush up to her and
snuggle against her and feel her big
paws gently patting him.
But there was to be none of that.
IL was plain that Mother Bear meant
exactly what she said when she told
him to come no nearer. And when
he looked at his twin sister, Woof-
Wool. she turned up her nose. and 1t
was quite clear that she wanted nOtn-
ing to do with him.
Poor little Boxer. He didn't under
stand it at all at first. You see, in
the joy of being found he had forgot
ten that he still carried with him
that dreadful scent with which Jimmy
Skunk had punished him. and SO no
one. not even his mother or sister.
would want him very near. When
Woof-Woof cried "Phew." as she
turned up her nose he remembered.
He hung his head and meekly shuf-
fled along after his mother and sister,
taking care to get no nearer to them.
He didn't dare to. for every few steps
Mother Bear would swing her head
around and grumble a warning.
And this was just the beginning of
Boxers punishment. Day after day
he tagged along far behind, but al
ways keeping his mother and sister
in sight. You may be sure he took
care to do that. He had had quite
enough of seeing the Great World
lost again, But it was hard. very
hard. to have only what was left when
Mother Bear found a feast. What he
didn't know was that Mother Bear al
ways took care that there should be
a fair share left. At such times
Woof-Woof took great joy in smack
ing her lips while Boxer sat up
When they slept Boxer had to curl
up by himself At first this was the
hardest of all. But little by little he
got used to it. He didn't know, and
Woof-Woof didn't know. but Mother
Bear did know that this was good for
more sure of himself. And tagging
along behind. as he did every day.
was doing the same thing. He was
always looking for something that

The Old Gardener Saws.

There is still plenty of time
for planting dahlias, and no
flower is more satisfactory for
fall blooming. The dahlia will
grow in any ordinary garden
soil. although a little potato
fertilizer will improve it. Don't
make the common mistake of
crowding the dahlias. especially
II you are going to grow them
in bush form. They need plenty
OF air. SO that the rows should
be from three to four feet apart
and the plants two and a half
to three feet apart in the rows.
whatever other kinds you grow
this year. be sure to try some

Bill Barring Memorial Day
Commercial S. ports Fails Today

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.-Although
supporters of a bill to prohibit all
commercial sports on Memorial Day
outnumbered the opponents, 25 to %,
in the state senate today, the measure
failed of passage beca use of the lack
of one more vote. The measure, how
ever, remains on the senate calendar
and can be recalled for another vote
at any time
When the roll call disclosed the di-
vision on the measure, Lieut-Governor
Branch declared that the state consti-
tuition required a majority vote of the
entire senate to pass a bill. Efforts
to locate the two absentees were un-
availing.
Discuss Purdue Funds
While the senate was discussing the
Memorial Day bill. the house devoted

the proposed increase in funds for the

BRITISH NEWSPAPER
SCORES RED TRADING
(Ry Associated Pressl

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Arrangements
by which it is proposed to bring about
a resumption of trade relations be-
tween Great Britain and Russia are
attacked editorially by the Morning
Post Of this city, which declares the
decision regarding this step as dub
1ous transaction, and nothing but a
pretext for obtaining recognition of the
soviet government" The newspaper
holds there is no trade with Russia
that Is worth consideration and ex-
presses The opinion that the public is
entitled to a very explicit account OF
the governments policy toward the
Russian Bolshevik regime.
Recognition of soviet Russia is
branded as immoral by the Post
which adds Neither France nor the
United States believes the soviet gov.
ernment to be permanent institution.
The newspaper asks what Great Brit
aims position would be if loyal Rus
slams should come into their own
again.

LABOR WAGES
REACHED HIGH POINT
IN HISTORY IN 1920

WASHINGTON. Jan. &c. - Wage
rates for farm labor reached their
highest point in the history of this
country in 1920, as national averages,
according to figures gathered by the
department of justice and made public
today. The average wage rate for Ia
Dor hired by the month, it was shown
was $46.89. with board, and $64.93
without board; for day labor at har-
vest, $3.50 with board and s4.36 with
out board. For day labor other than
at harvest the scale averaged $2.S6
with board and $3.50 without board.
War conditions, it was found. had
greatly accelerated an uward move
ment of farm wages that began after
1895. The rate of that year for hir-
ings by the month was $17.69 as an
average for the United States, and
no other year in the record of the bu-
reu, extending back to 1866, had a
lower rate, except 1879, with $16.i2.
Increase in 1902
By 1902 this wage rate had in.
creased to $22.14, by 1914 to $2a.SS,
followed by $30.15 in 1915, with no
evidence of war effect. This effect
appeared, the departments figures dis
closed, as a small beginning IN 1910
when the wage rate was $32.S3. Then
followed rapid rise to $40.43 in 1917
to $47.07 in 1918. to $500 in 1919, and
to $64.95 in 1920.
The rate of gain over 1893 was 261
per cent in 1920. The gain in the 2t
years from 1895 to 1915 was 20 pei
cent, while the gain in five years
from 1916 to 1920 was 1877 per cent.
Received Gain
From 1915 to 1920 farm labor work
ing by the month without board re
ceived a gain in wage rate Is high as
115 per cent. This was given by the
department as one of the causes OF
the greatly increased cost of produc
ing things on the farm, which has
forced the farmers more generally to
depend exclusively on themselves and
members of their families for Ia boz
in addition to extending the use OF
labor-saving machinery.

Why Ric h m ond is the
Best Place in Which
to Live

Each day Palladium reporter
will interview persons at random
10 find out why they like to live
here.
Richmond is a good place in
which to live because the citi-
zens here have an urge towards
betterment.
THAT is rather indefinite but
it is an indefinable spirit that
permeates the whole commun-
ity. One feels it as soon as he
becomes acquainted here, and
senses the various activities in
which every citizen is inter
ested.
For instance. Richmond is
noted for it's culture. Art. mu.
sic and literature are all held in
high esteem by virtually every
citizen. 1t is not confined to a
few as is the case in many cities
but is participated in by old and
young, rich and poor.

other examples, but have to
catch that street car" and the
person stopped hustled on.

every move to be made on the floor
of the senate was rehearsed carefully
The house committee on ways and
means held a public hearing last night
on bills proposing aid for schools in
poor townships. The hearing was
based on the Willis bill providing for
a state tax levy of 20 cents on each
500 taxables.
Provides Relief
1t also provides that cents of the
proposed 20 cent levy shall go to the
state relief fund to be used in helping
the poor township schools to pay
! teachers, provide transportation, build
| school houses. etc. Opposition to the
Willis bill developed at the meeting
when Superintendent William Writ OF
the Gary public schools appeared with
Lake county delegation to champion
substitute bill.
The bill supported by the Lake coun
ty delegation provides for an increase
of the common school tuition levy OF
from S, 6 to cents, with two-tenths
of the money so raised going to the
poor district schools.
