In the good old days when every farmer made his farm sustain him and his there was never much need for a trip to the grocer except to buy sugar and coffee. If under modern condi- tions with improved markets normally we followed the same plan there would never be any trouble about the money we needed. We know of no better thing that our Chamber of Commerce can do and throw behind it every business interest of the town in help ing to work out and develope over our territory the live stock, the poultry and the dairy interests: Cooperate in developing the markets and in es- tablishing and encouraging the pro- ductiOn of these things. The job should not be left off until every farm big and little in this section was show ing steady production of these. Co., operate with every other organization that is working to the same end. Our future must depend upon agriculture. Let's hook up with our farmer friends and help them put this thing over. Let's get this country on the basis that 1t ought to be on. It can be done and nobody is going to do it but us folks right here in Little River county. Individuals here and there are finding 
 the way out. The same way is open to all, but things can not be depended upon to just come about. It takes or ganized efforts.

Tn ) Night Speeches Mayor
Attacks Interests and
Gary System.
BOASTS CITY Is MORAL

to Give Evidence on
Gambling Houses.
BOASTS CITY IS MORAL

Mayor Hylan at five meetings last
might continued his defence of the
conduct of the public schools under
his administration and his attacks on
the Interests and the Gary and
Rockefeller systems
Although he failed to comply with
demands by Major Henry III. Curran
that he answer accusations which the
coalition leaders have made against
his administration Mayor Hylan inti-
mated that he would make an answer
tomorrow night. The Mayor was
accompanied on his rounds by Mrs
Hylan.
The first meeting was at Wallabout
md Throop avenues. Brooklyn where
the Mayor stood on an automobile truck
and told crowd of several hundred
most of them children, that he intended
to continue his fight for buses. He also
urged the support Of Borough President
Edward Riegelmann for reelection, say
ing that without the assistance of Rie-
Selmann he would have been sorely
Handicapped in his fight against all at
tempts at fare raises"
Mayor Hylan was introduced by Al
bert Bassett, former Alderman. who got
cheers when he said that "the .happiest
Cay in the life of the Il. r. L. officials
will be when Mayor Hylan drops dead"
From Brooklyn the Mayor went to
a97 Third avenue, Manhattan, and
spoke to the Tammany captains Of the
Fourteenth Assembly district. Thomas
Farley presided. Mayor Hylan urged
the election captains to be vigilant and
active on election day.
The Mayor then went to the Sixty
ninth Regiment Armory and tossed up
q basketball by way of starting a game
between the All-American Five and the
Camden Giants. He and Mrs. Hylan
watched the game for several minutes
and then left without the Mayor speak
iug.
At the next stop. the Jefferson Club,
2f7 Seventh street, the Mayor spoke at
meeting presided over by Municipal
Court Justice Benjamin Hoffman. He
declared that his efforts to build more
schools had been hampered by manda-
tory legislation and by the excesses of
The New York herald., 1921-10-20

the Mitchell administration. He also
scored the Gary system" saying
''The men back of the Gary system
do not want your children to know too
much. They are afraid that If they
know too much, or even know more than
their parents, they VIII be able to do
something besides WELD the pick and
shovel
The Mayor returned to Brooklyn and
attended a bail of the Ancient Order OF
Hibernians at Albemarle road and
Flatbush avenue.
Mayor Hylan, speaking ea-zier IN the
day at a luncheon of the Kiwanis CLUB
at the Hotel McAlpin, said that this
city Is morally the cleanest city In the
world" He added:
II have tried to perform the service
that this city requires. You business
men want this city kept clean. You
don't care which party is in office or
which man is in Office. but you want
the city kept clean so your women
folks can go through the streets at any
hour of the day or night knowing that
they will be safe from harm or insult"
The Mayor challenged his hearers TO
tell him of any gambling or other un-
derworid resort running at the present
time. He said he would have such n
place closed before midnight" He ended
his speech by saying:
II only learned one big truth in life,
and learned that from my mother, who
said TO me: John, when you go out
into life remember one thing, and try
to live UP to it. and that Is to live up
to the Golden Rule Of doing unto others
as you would have done to YOU |
have tried to live up to that all my
life"

would deny he had sold out the school
children OF New York.
II proved he had quadrupled the num-
Der of children on part time" added Mr..

questions?

SMOOT TAX SYSTEM
INDORSED BY BUTLER
Such Plan Necessary to Get
Country Out of Slough,
He Declares.

Chief among the problems that con-
front the civilized nations OF the world
to-day is that OF reducing the cost OF
government with a view toward con-
sequent reduction of taxation. Ihis
cannot be accomplished, however, until
trained men OF affairs refuse TO hold
themselves longer aioof but take an
active. vigorous interest in govern
mental activities.
This was the text of a message de-
livered by DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
yesterday at the annual meeting or the
New York Board OF Trade and Trans
portation on the occasion of the open
Ing of the organizations new heaoquar-
ters at IL Park Row
DIR. Butler told his audience that the
thing that impressed him most during
his recent trip abroad was the similar
ity OF the problems that presented
themselves to the various Governments
of Europe. But the problem Of the re-
duction of the cost of government, he
said was the most pressing of all. He
was enthusiastically applauded when,
dealing with that question. as 1t af-
fected the United States, he expressed
regret that the Government had not
seen tit to write into the tax bill the
recommendations OF Senator Smoot OF
Utah for the abolition of the countless
obnoxious taxes now imposed and the
substitution therefor OF six funda-
mental Federal taxes. the revenue from
which, Senator Smoot declares, would
be sufficient for governmental purposes.
Until we take some such action"
DR.. Butler said. eve are not going 10
get out OF the slough of despond. For
days during the debate on the tax bill
the pages Of the Congressional Record
were filled with discussions of chewing
gum and soft drinks to the exclusion OF
the more vital aspects. Think of that !"

There will be a SPECIAL town meet
ing this Friday evening. This Is to
see if the towns will raise $1,000 more
or less, for repairs and supplies for
the schools. The cost of finishing the
Junior High room and the furnishings
cost more than was expected.
1t was estimated at the time of the
regular town meeting that the seats
would cost about 5000. But 1t was
necessary to have more seats than
plapned and also two teachers desks
and chairs, and some recitation chairs.
So the bill is nearly $500 The car
penter work was expected to cost
about $3.50. 1t will cost $1,000. The
law requires two outside stairways for
any school room above the first floor.
That meant fire escape. A recitation
room was needed. That made neces-
sary one more partition and door. 1t
needed to be sheathed up around the
stair well for two reasons, first. to
keep the pupils from falling down
and second to provide space for the
children's wraps. The steam heating
plant will cost about $500 less than
estimate. So that the entire expense
