TEACHERS PENSION
LAW IS EXPLAINED

An explanation of the new teachers
pension law, as interpreted by Estes
Duncan, secretary of the state teach
ers' pension board, has been submit
ted by the president of the local
teachers federation. 1t follows:
Il. Beginning teachers must be-
come members of the system: (a)
Employing officials report beginning
teachers to the retirement fund board
before Oct. /, 1921; (b) Secretary
mails blanks to teachers to be filled
with the data necessary for the office;
(c) Employing officials deduct from
your salary one-third of your premium
at the end of the second month of the
school year, one-third at the end of
| the fourth month, and one-third At
! the end of the sixth month of the
! school year; I'D After the first anG
| before the ffteenh of January and
June of each year the employing Of
| fetal pays these deductions over TO
the board of trustees of the Indiana
! state teachers retirement fund.
! Old Teachers Are Members.
| "2. All teachers having belonged to
local units and not having withdrawn
automatically become members; (a)
will be reported by employing officials
| as having belonged to a former sys-
TEN; (b) deductions by employing Of
ficials Of premiums which have chang
ed from under the old law to the new;
(c) employing officials report deduc-
tons to the board of trustees or exc
cutive secretary, who acts for the
board; Id these teachers do not
have additional arrearages to pay
over and above their arrearages un-
der the old law.
THE board will insist that these
old arrearages be paid at the very
earliest convenience of the teacher
for the reason that it is extremely diff
ficult to make a payment yield 4
profit in the hands of the debtor. II
the event of retirement the annuity
otherwise available will be reduced
in the proportion which the amount
unpaid bears to the then present value
! of each annuity; (e) In the event OF
withdrawal or retirement before forty
wears of service they do not receive
,, as good settlement as do the teachers
who have paid up under the law al
amended
"3. Teachers with prior service anc
l who have never belonged TO an annu
ity system; (a) reported by employ
ing officials as electing or rejectin:
the opportunity to become member!
this year, but have until Sept. l, 1922
to make final decision; (b) If thi;
class of teachers elects to become
; members they are so reported by EN-
I ploying officials; (c) blanks are sent
cut to them to be filled by the seer
j tary that will show their prior servic'
and such other data as the board ha
J. decided will be of use in the offlc'
: of the executive secretary"

Cabinet Crisis Proue Futile
tBy Associated Press)

MUNICH, Bavaria, Sept. 20.-Eforts
on the part of the Bavarian peoples
party to solve the ministerial crisis
which arose when the ministry headed
by Dr. Won Kahr resigned recently
have apparently been futile thus far.
Leaders of the party asked DR.. Won
Kahr to become candidate for election
as Premier of a new cabinet, but he
has declined, stating that he is unable
to change his views regarding the re-
lationship subsisting between the
empire and the Federal states.
DR.. Won Kahr concludes his letter to
the party by saying: Il have the
warmest wishes for a sound, strong
and self governing Bavaria within a
sound and strong empire"

TOO NEGATIVE YOUTH

An extraordinary amount of
Concern" in the Quaker sense,
seems to be felt just now about
the younger generation. It's liter
airy and artistic standards, it's
moral and social views, its political
opinions are endlessly discussed.
The last number of The Bookman,
for example, has several articles
on the young enthusiasts, the
young intellectuals, and so on.
And the point stressed is that
youth is in revolt. Everything that
the elders approve it rejects. 1t
doesn't like their novels, their
poetry, their criticism, their paint
ing, their morals, their politics.
The characteristic attitude of the
young lis thus represented as a
tremendous negative.
There is no great novelty in
this. Frosty conservatives today
cannot forget that they were fam

Perishable products worth mil

they are packed. More than one
railroad has appealed to the U. S.
Bureau of Markets to help remedy
this situation, a high official of a
southern railroad stating recently
that in his opinion shippers
should be compelled to use con-
tainers of adequate strength, and
that proper car-loading methods
should be exercised.
1t is vastly to the interests of
the shippers to use containers OF

1t is apparent that the old order

What are the old guard and the
recent influx of Juvenile under

If the contamination of this ex-
ample set at the top is spread, we
shall find it a pervasive heresy
that in state and municipal offices
as we'll as in NATIONAL, a snug EN-
sconcement on the payrool is nc

MARVELLOUS
U STRIDES IN ROAD.
BUILDING LAST YEAR
Construction Equal to Five
Times Length of Lincoln
Highway

Five parallel transcontinental
hiphways-duplicates of the Lin
colin highway-would represent
+he highway construction conn
nIeted in the various states during
1920.
Approximately 10000 miles of
new improved roads were finished,
according to reports sent in to the
travel and transport bureau of a
rubber company. Estimates from
state highway engineers say that
half again and possibly double
this mileage will be completed
during 1921.
Nebraska, Texas and Minnesota
we're among the leaders in total
mileage of new construction. Ne.
braska built 1307.5Q miles; Texas
1859, and Minnesota, 911.06
Nearly every state reports mile
age under construction almos
equal to the total actually finish
ed. Many of the states were un
able to submit figures on highwa.
construction.
This year is expected to be TIN
greatest road building year in tn
history of the country. Handicap
such as scarce and high-price
materials and labor shortages Wi
be absent this year. A mild VIII
ter, which tended to lessen the dc
struction of roads, and an earl
spring are favorable to the roa
building program for 1921.
With more than $1,000, 100000
now available in state and FEEDER;
money for highway work the goo
roads situation is more favorab
than ever before in history.

PLAN BARGAINS
IN LIVE STOCK
Fair Managers Announce Un-
usual Display of Fine
Breeds This Year.

Prize live stock will be on the bar
gain counter at the State Fair this year.
according to 1. Newt Brown, secretary Of
the new State department of agriculture.
The slump in live stock prices af-
fected the blue ribbon winners as much
as it did the cross breeds, he said. In
some parts of the State fancy stock sold
nearly as eheaply as stock without pedi-
grees during the last six months.
Despite this fact Mr. Brown said, the
live stock at the fair will be bigger this
year than at any previous time. The ex-
hibition, he said, will break all records,
both in size and variety.
Seven hundred cattle have been en-
tered already. For the first time on any
American Playground, according to Mr..
Grown. steers of all breeds viii lie
shown Baby beef and calf classes are to
be expanded from dairies to include all
beef breeds.
Canvas tents and imprOvised shelters
viii be used to house the cattle, Mr.
Borwn said. because all space in the cat
tie barns was filled some time ago.
The hog entry list is so heavy it will
not be possible to show entries from each
breed each day. Pig club contestants
viii be shown on Monday. Poland Chlnas
and Chester Whites on Tuesday, Duroc-
Jerseys and Berkshires on Wednesday
afternoon and fat barrONTs on Friday.
OF the 1900 hogs entered, 400 were
raised by Toys and girls.
An enormous poultry show will be
housed in two large pavillions. The old
poultry house viii be used for chickens
exclusively, while other fowls and rab-
bits will be exhibited in the HOrticul-
tural building. More than $500 birds
have been entered.
Arrangements are being made also to
provide extra room for the horses. The
500 stalls have all been contracted for.
