grounds have been many and are OF
much interest. The athletic equip
ment has cost SO little and yet has
been used so constantly that a few
of the novel features will be discrib-
ed in the hope that they may be of
value to other, schools.
Giant Studies at IS Each.
While giant studies ordinarily
cost about $500 installed we have
been able to provide two at SIS each.
The plan is to take spindle from
an old buggy axel, carry this to a
machine shop and have 1T turned
down to the shape. of a ford front
wheel spindle. Provide the race and
cave and ballbearings FROM an old
Ford and on this mound the iron
hub plate from a Ford front wheel.
Fill with grease and screw on hub
cap. Turn down the other end Of
the buggy axil till it is round and
thread it, Now procure any old
piece Of piping sfrom Ground town
which is sixteen feet long and at
least 8 1-2 inches in diameter.
Through the Gaping of this pipe
bore hole large enough to receive
the threaded end Of" the spindle.
Run nut high on the threads and
then screw the cap on the pipe. Now
dig 8 four foot hole, erect the pipe
and fill in with brick and cement.
The chains are fastened to the hub
plate through the holes already pro-
yided. This is done by the use OF
six trace repair links. This will
make a great stride which win be
found as satisfactory as boughten
one. The ones at this school are in
constant use and give hours OF
pleasure and recreation each day.
II any one interested wishes further
details we should be glad to show
them the ones which we have in
use.

We made our vows with might and
main, eschewing habits cheesy. and
if our friends would treat us right, our
triumph would be easy. If men would
say to us, Gee whiz! You brave re-
pentant sinners, We know how hard
the struggle is, but surely you'll be
winners" we'd be inspired to carry on,
to press the moral battle; alas, the
words of James and John are prone
our souls to rattle. Too cynical are
John and James; they take 1t all for
granted that we've gone back to those
cheap games from which we gallivant-
ed. They laugh at all the sacred VOWS
DER which we brood and ponder; ut
is shame the law allows such guys
at large to wander. For they discour-
age soulful jays who would old sins
abandon, and when they've guyed US,
forty ways, we have no VOWS to stand
on. Oh, reader. as you travel by the
highways and the hedges, don't josh or

The contemplated move to increase the men,
bership Of the house of representatives by 4S
members has little argument in its favor. The
house is unwieldy enough with its present con-
stituency.
membership of 435 legislators is quite
large enough to give the entire nation fair and
equitable representation. The lower house does
not need 48 more members, but an increase OF 4S
per cent, if not more in efficiency and ability to
transact the public business.
The addition of almost SO more members
means substantial increase in the amount OF
money annually expended by the nation for sal
aries for these representatives, plus the amounts
paid to their secretaries clerical help, and other
accessories that attend the addition OF more
members to the body.
The great majority of Hoosiers believe that
the present number of representatives can trans
act the business that comes before the house.
Additions will neither expedite the enactment OF
bills into laws nor guarantee that the new stat
utes and legislation will be improved in quality.

Ben Franklin's Birthday

Monday was the 250th anniversary of the
birthday of Benjamin Franklin, printer, patriot,
philosopher, diplomat. In honor of his advocacy
of thrift, this week is being observed throughout
the nation as a special season in which the value
of that virtue is extolled and it's necessity en-
phasized.
Franklin's memory has not faded from our
national consciousness, because he united prac-
teal, common sense with his preaching and ex-
horting He was not only teacher of thrift, but
made this virtue one of the cardinal precepts of
his own life He expounded the spiritual value
of the virtue and exemplified in his own daily
life how it may develop character and serve his
fellow men.
His life was simple and sane, both as pri-
vate citizen in his home city and as diplomatic
representative of the republic in the courts of
Europe-a fit exponent of the truths he taught
and believed
In the lapse of years that have rolled by since
Franklin has been called into the great beyond,
no discovery has supplanted his maxims of right
living as the source of happiness and the means
of acquiring financial independence.
men may speculate and gamble to acquire
wealth, but the surest and best method is the lay
ing aside of a portion of your income regularly
and consistently as the basis of future income.
The biggest financiers of the country recon-
mend that principle highly, and thousands who
today are happy and contented know that it was
the denial of yesterday that made possible the
enjoyment of today.
Franklin's message to the citizens of the re-
public has not lost its potency in the passage of
time, but has been indicated splendidly and con-
clusively Thrifty men and women are the back
bone of the nation and the strength of the re-
public

pair moved into British Columbia in
1892. Mr.. Smith was born in New
costle, England, and grew up as a
miner. That was his occupation in the
new home, but in his career he had
developed skill as a speaker, and for
time he preacehd in trial in Metho-
dist pulpits. The miners elected him
general secretary of the union at Mana
limo, and in 1898 he was chosen presi-
dent of the Dominion Trades and La
Dor Congress.
He served on the Chinese and the
British Columbia fisheries commits
sions. In 1907 he declined an appoint
ment as commissioner of the Yukon.
One of his chief subjects on the lecture
platform was THE Right Relations Be-
tween Capital and Labor" He was
labor representative in the house of
commons of the district, and was one
of the party's representatives at the
coronation of King George in 1911.
In all these activities Mrs. Smith
was his helpful and sympathetic com.
rade, thus unwittingly preparing her
self for the role of public life she has
once assumed.

Indiana's Agricultural Showing

The per capita production in agriculture of
Indiana in 1920 was $1O2.29, say the farm crop
figures of the department of agriculture. The
total value for the state was 1929, ISL ,O00 and
the commonwealth ranked fifteenth in the list
of states.
We ranked above Illinois, Ohio and Michigan,
and were below Kentucky. This is surprise to
most of us, as Ohio and Illinois, in the popular
estimation, usually are regarded as more pro-
ductke than Indiana. The average per capita
production of these states follows: Ohio, $65;
Illinois, ST.; Michigan, $40; Kentucky, SIP.
1ndiana's high per capita average is glow
ing tribute to the skill of Hoosier farmers and
indicates that agriculture occupies high place
as wealth producer in this state. The figures
become still more impressive if we take into ac-
count that Indiana also is one of the leading
manufacturing states Of the Union. Great indus
trial centers in many parts of the state keep US
in the front rank as commonwealth producing
many commodities for the home and export
trade. IF. e.
The diversification of our industries is one of
our strongest assets. We are proud not only of
the development of our industrial centers but
also of the progress which agriculture, admitted
ly the basic industry of the country, has made.
The development of the farm in Indiana must
keep pace with the progress of our manufacture
ing establishments. The excellent record OF In
diana farmers in 1920 shows that they are not
tagging behind the manufacturers.
One reason, perhaps for the fine showing Of
our farms is the interest which the farmer him
self is taking in his business. He is applying the
latest methods of agriculture and is perfecting
his knowledge of husbandry annually. Farm in
stitutes are not neglected, but are attended for
the information which the experts impart to the
farmer.
That is one reason why Wayne county farm
ers for instance, are keeny interested in the
corn show and institute that is to be conducted
here next month. They are anxious to learn the
new methods of farming and to avoid the mis-
takes which they made in the past. j. H.. sa.
