OF Two Defeats

The much heralded games be-
tween Madison Indiana High
School team and the local boys
were staged Wednesday and Thurs
day nights and as result our home
team has added two more victories
to its almost perfect record.
The Hoosiers insisted upon u.s.
ing some rules in vogue in their
section that had never been used
here, SO that in the beginning of
the first game the local boys scarce
ly had a look in. However, when
the game ended the score card read,
Hartford 40; Madison IS.
In the game Thursday night, the
visitors speeded up and ran the
locals a very close race. The re-
suit was 10 to Is in favor of Hart
ford.

(By G. B. Likens)

Wy VI 10 LihShoi
Among recent deaths reported il
the columns of the Herald / noted
with regret at least five of the old
cr substantial citizens who were
my personal friends.
GEORGE G. FAIR, who from
many years business experience
and personal contact, was general
~ known and admired by the towr
and county for his honesty, integri
ty and fair-dealing as we'll as his
devotion to his family, his com
munity and his church.
ALFRED j. CARTER, whose mem
ory will be cherished by his neigh.
bors for his sterling qualities, un-
selfish acts and charitable spirit
His zeal for the Masonic order of
which he was a worthy member
served as an inspiration to the
younger men in his lodge.
WILLIAM H. ACTON, was truly
q man of industry, honesty and
frugality. Scrupulously upright in
all that he did or said, he was low
ed by his associates and highly re-
spected by all who knew him.
WILLIAM BROWN, was a man
of strong convictions, pure motives
and high ideals. His ever-ready as
sistance in sickness or other adver-
sity and the Christian spirit, at all
times modestly exhibited, drew to
him the affections of the entire
community in which his life, so full
of usefulness, was spent. The
friends of Billy Brown" as he was
commonly called were limited only
by the number of his acquaintences.
GEORGE b. THOMPSON, came
TO his death in Louisiana where he
lived the last few years, but he
spent practically all his life in the
vicinity Of Horton. He achieved
success in business and lead an ex-
emplary life. For many years he
bought timber and produce from
and sold goods to most every family
within radius of several miles
from his place of business. and all
these patrons will attest his worth
as citizen Of the highest type.
He took great pride in encouraging
young men in the COM

Lcsker Denies Subsidy Plan Is
Ready

Washington, Dec. pa. L. Las
ker. chairman of the United States
shipping board, indicated today that
the administration viii go to congress
with straightforward ship SUBSIDY
PROPOSAL and that no attempt would
be made to give another name to the
nroposed measure Of relief for Amerl-
can shipping. The hope OF the Ameri-
can merchant marine, Chairman Las
ker said, lies in subsldy-and II
might as well be called that.
The statement OF Mr.. Lasker was
made at a conference with news
paper men, who were urged by the
chairman of the shipping board not
to publish prematurely stories OF an
agreement on ship subsidy proposal
There has been no agreement within
the boards membership, he SAID.
Various suggestions are in merely ten
tative shape and the board has little
hope of getting It's recommendations
to the president before January 20,
and possibly not before the end OF
January. Mr.. Lasker said he thought
ne cOulQ pIOlHlSc ii iSPOik w WV y ~
dent without fail by February l.
The president, said Mr.. Lasker,
would make these recommendations
public. and meanwhile the board Will
have nothing to say in advance about
It's report. In. denying published re-.
ports of progress toward agreement:
Chairman Lasker said the views of
cone group Of economists" already
have been rejected in large part by
himself and would not go to the pres!-
dent. Guesses that such views repre-
sented forecast of the report Mr.
Lasker declared to be entirely er-
roneous.
Then the shipping board chairman
was asked if the boards recommends
tons to the President would be for
shin subsidy without disguise. 1t was
suggested by correspondent that
perhaps government moneys might
be made available under a name such
as "thc foreign trade development
fund"
NO" said Chairman Lasker, why
not call it by its real name--ship sub
sidy. That is what it will be, and an
other name would not change the
scent of the rose, TO use an old eX-
preston. cannot discuss in advance
the report which we hope to submit
to the president within the next few
weeks-our Investigations and data
yet arc quite incomplete-but | re-
peat that the hope of the American
marine lies in a subsidy, and the term
might as we'll be used and have the
matter fought out on that basis"

Urges Canceling War Debt

Cleveland, Dec. 2S.-Prompt and
complete cancellation of allied war
debt to the United States, totaling
$780, 100000, was urged by Asso-
cate Justice John IL. Clarke, of the
United States supreme court, IN an
address to members Of the Chamber
of Commerce today.
This should be done, Justice Clarke
asserted in the interest of hard cold
business policy, as well as a matter OF
friendship for and justice toward the
nations (which risked al! with US and
sacrificed much more than We did IN
support of the great common cause. .
Two main arguments were advanced
by the speaker in favor of this action.
The first was that unless the debts
are Cancelled the United States never
can hope for payment except in goods.
If the debts are paid in goods it would
mean the stagnation and wreckage of
American business, he declared.
The other was that il America does
not cancel the loans it never will be
able to convince these now friendly
nations that the United States bore
its fair share OF the burden of war
and that if the process of collection
goes forward this conviction vii,
deepen into aversion and enmity on
the part Of every one of the most i'm
portant nations of the world
These debts. the speaker pointed out,
have been increased to Sll 900 100000
by accrued interest. He spoke scorn-
fully Of 100 per cent. Americanism"
and red blooded Americanism that
would counsel US to stand on the let
ter Of our bond when dealing with
our war-weary heavy-laden and
PROSTATE friends"

precedented war indemnity Of $780,

THE GONC0URT PRIZE

The Priv de- G0HCort, a prize
awarded each year for the best
French novel of the year, has re-
Gently been awarded to Rene
Maran, a French muIatto. This
is causing much comment III the
Partisan papers and the contro-
versy is waxing warm, They
seem to forget that another French
mulatto wrote The Three Mas
kcteers. The novel, entitled
"Batouala," treats OF negro lie. i'll
Airica and deals with the race
question. The race question IS
not peculiar to any latitude or
longitude. Its roots are thous-
ands OF years deep and probably
90 back at least to the Cro-Man-
gan period Of prehistoric. times.
This means that it cannot be set
tied bv human law or human con-
troversy. The slow processes OF
evolution will have to adjust Ii
finally, and from appearances
these processes are at work even
now among the peoples OF the
earth.

URBAN AND RURAL LIFE

DOrtant events Oh the past ySai
has been the Rural Lie Confer
ence, held in the hall of the House
OF Delegates at Richmond. we
are Just in receipt OF the published
proceedings, issued i'll the E,Ntell-
sion Series OF the University or
Virginia Record. The congress
man from this district, Honorable
X. Walton Moore, was elected
chairman OF the Conference by
unanimous vote. In his admir-
able address he touched upon
many points OF vital Importance
to the state. He called attention
to the indisputable TACT that popu-
lation in the United States Is
drifting away from the rural dis
tricts and centering i'll the great
cities. In 1880, for instance,
29.5 per cent. OF the people lived
in cities of over 800 inhabitants
in 1890. SOL per cent; III l9Oo,
4O.5 per cent. in 1910, 46.3 per
cent. and. in 1920, 51.+ per cent.
In regardto Virginia, Mr.. Moore
showed that forty-five OF the one
hundred counties lost population.
and fifty-two Of them lost in farm
operations: while sevel1ty-tlve OF
the counties were affected in one
way or the other.
In this connection it is interest
ing to remember that the famous
NJ. de cqueville,,' ~ArEle, wrote
what for nnanvs years was the
leading textbook on American
Democracy. back i'll 1880 pre-
dicted that if ever danger should
assail our Republic it would come
when the population OF our cities
exceeded that OF the farming sec
tons, and be incidental to that
urban growth. He wrote his
book, too. after an extended tour
OF the United States and careful
survey OF the conditions then pre-
vailing.
However, the vast strides made
in invention were not then tore
seen. The railroad and steam
ship were in their infancy; the
telegraph slulnbering in the VISION
ary brain OF Morse; the telephone,
automobile and electric car as
yet undreamed OF in man. philo-
sopllv. These last Inventions.
with the Movie and the wide APP
plication Of electricity to domestic
power, have SO changed the horl-
zon of the country dweller that
the danger. once apparent, OF the
permanent over-crowding OF the
cities may be said to be greatly
diminished ii not entirely OBJ
waited.
The Conference alluded TO,
fully discussed the many prob
lens presented by the flocking OF
people to already congested CEN
tiers. Notable among the papers
presented is one by T.. c. Galpin.
the economist i'll charge OF Rural
Studies, i'll the |. 5. Department
OF Agriculture. Mr.. Galpin
graphically described the transi-
ton in rural life from the family
regime to the community regime,
His conclusions were reasonable
and hopeful for the future
Rural education was gone into
thoroughly by the various experts ::
rural health and sanitation care
fully considered: rural tranSporta-
ton and communication discuss
ed at length; rural cooperative
agencies and rural social prob
lens likewise received due atter-
ton: and altogether there was a
general advertisement as to the
whole situation which was both
illuminative and encouraging.
1t is to be hoped that this Con-
ference will be the precursor OF
many more. In fact. with so
