"Be frank and advertise" was
the advice given public utility COM
paniest last night by p. H. Gadsden'
Philadelphia, president of the Amer
lean Electric Railway association, at a
meeting of the Indiana Public Utility
association. BY this method, Mr.
Gadsden said, public understanding of
utility problems can best be obtained
and necessary rate adjustment and
credit restoration fastened. Frank
ness must go hand in hand with adj
vertising," continued Mr.. Gadsden,
.'else advertising fails. Therefore, be
prepared, when you begin presenting
your story to the public, to tell the
whole truth about your business to ev-
eryone. As the only customer of the
public utilities, the public is entitled
TO know all about their business and
any public utility which cannot stand
the searchlight of honest public in
curry cannot hope to obtain help thru
favorable public sentiment. Put your
house in such order that you will fear
the questions of no man."

THE GREAT, THE BRAVE. THE WISE.
These are the great: the men who never
ask
More from this life than strength to meet
their task:
The patient, willing toilers day by day
Who serve to keep their children at theic
These are the nations builders and her
Men who stand fast when towards step
aside.
These are the brave: the men who day by
day
Have much TO do and not so much to say
The quiet ranks Of men who bear the
OF burdens heavy and the blows Of fate,
And yet keep on some little gain to make
Not for themselves, but for their loved
ones sake
These are the wise: the men who find de-
light
In children's laughter and their love each
night.
In the rich treasury of a friendly few,
And pleasure .shich need not be ever new,
Who follow humble ways of toll and
These are the wise and happy of the earth.

THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

Under the caption, care You a De-
fender of the Public INTEREST,"" the
Consumers league asks it's members
to urge congress to prevent the per-
manent control of the nations food
supply by the great packing interests.
1t declares that the packers monop-
oily is sitting competition, forcing
down prices paid to producefs of meat
and allied food products and raising
prices to the public. The league says:
I'm our country today, the national
children's bureau tells US. from three
million to six million children are I'M
derfed. One child in every five in
the United States is not getting enough
to eat. -. We have seen swollen
profits on the one hand and empty
plates on the other. Specula-
tors, monopolists, hoarders and prof.
iteers are gambling with the food sup
ply of the nation and the world.

people should not be controlled by a
few private individuals without gov

The league quotes the findings of
the federal trade commission as its
authority that the five great packers

every stockyard company in the
United States; that they own ss per

Attention is being called to the large

Attention is being called to the large
amount of money the people of Kan
sas are saving as the result of the
states resistance to the interstate rail-
road rates. If the figures be correct
the people will be in a position to pay
in the form of taxes what the railroads
are losing on traffic when called upon
TO do SO later. The existing rate sit
uation is not bothering the roads, since
they are guaranteed a certain return
by the government. 1t is not trou-
bling the interstate commerce COM

At the dawn of 1921. says the Iron
Trade Review THE outlook is anything
but gloomy for American business
Fundamental conditions II the United
States never were souLder. worldwide
shortages OF essential commodities
created by war conditions remain I'M
satisfied and the needs of a great and
growing population are accommodating.
The rewards of initiative, of energy
and # good management are fully as
alluring as in the past. 1t is a time
not for pessimism but for encourage
ment; a time for satisfaction that &C.
nomic justice is working out its ends
in its own way and that national san
ity is returning. Under such condi-
tons business and en- erprise may &C
forward with renewed confidence in a
truly American way and the CONNER
ciaI future of the nation will be safe
guarded.

Ynits IL. Being a Republican. he voted
for Mr.. Harding and was gratified at
his election. But he doesn't expect
great deal of help from that source
The only recipe Uncle Adam knows for
getting along is to work hard and
save money. He will be surprised to
learn, If he ever does, that. many be-
lieve prosperity, even wealth, may be
conferred by legislative enactment.
The thing that seemed to disturb I'm
Gle Adam most was projected rock
road which would pass one of his
farms and exact the payment of spe-
eiai taxes on another. He felt the new
road would "eat him up" as he put 1t.
He was not-entirely satisfied with the
manner in which affairs in the school
district were being conducted He
told me his school taxes for the year
had been in excess of 500 and that
they were paying the teacher $125 a
month for six months term and
had, in addition, relieved him of the
janitorial work. Uncle Adam remern-
bers that for years they had only a
four months term and the highest SAL
airy they ever paid teacher was $35
a month. The teacher did his own
janitor work, too. Uncls Adam
thought the manner in which the af-
ly been conducted were extravagant,
to say the least.
Bit by bit I learned the small scan
good deal of talk about John and Cora
Baird, and some go so far as to CEN
sure them. John and Cora have been
married about twenty-five years and
John is a successful farmer who has
done well on his own account. In ad-
dition, his father, who died some years
ago, left him an interest in consid-

John inherited the home farm. Since
then he has torn down the ramShackle
old house and built a new one, for

hardwood floors, a sleeping porch. a
heating plant. hot and cold water and
electric lights. Cora bought new and
expensive furniture thruout. She has
a piano and a victrola. John recently
traded in his old car for a new one
of an expensive make. The neighbor-
hood is appalled, at their extrava gance

the hired men long employed by Uncle
Adam. They had to let him go, Aunt
Libbie explained. 1t seemed he had
always been in the habit of drawing
a little money every Saturday night
which he wasted in frivolous expendi-
ture in Grigsby City. They had de-
preciated his tendency toward eX-
travagance. One Saturday afternoon
two years ago last summer he drew
SIS and went away to the nearby city
of Beagle He did not return from

when he returned his money was all

man that 1 do love, and whose only
fault is that he has no money!" asks
young girl. -
Certainly not Parents do no more
than their duty when they try. to pre-
vent girl from marrying man who
is brutal and vicious, but between
breaking off an unsuitable match, and
making one that appears suitable to
third party, there is a vast difference.
For we can sometimes save a person
from certain misery, but none of us
are wise enough to know just what
Will make another happy.
Real marriages are made in Heaven.
They are not manufactured by nervy
medd1ers here below
One of the most curious things in
the world is that fathers and mothers,
who are Mortified when they hear of
parents selling their daughters In
heather countries, and who shrink
with disgust fromLthe women>of the
street; themselves hawk their own
girls around the marriage mart, and
bring every pressure to bear on their
daughters to induce them to sell them
selves to the highest bidder.
Everywhere you will see whole fam
lilies put on practically starvation diet
so that a pretty girl may be decked
out in finery to show off her good
points, and dragged about from sum-
mer resort to winter resort in the hope
that she will get good match Every
where you will see anxious eyed
mothers throwing their girls at the
heads of rich men. Everywhere you
will see women, not only willing, but
glad, to have their innocent young
daughters marry men old enough to be
their fathers, men with 1eperous pas,
lives, if only they have a sufficiently
big bank account.
And the mothers justify themselves
by saying that romantic love lasts
but for little while, at best: that
after five years all husbands look
alike to a woman, and then the only
thing that counts is an establishment,
and money.
Most of the mothers who are so
mad for their daughters to marry
money, have themselves known the
stress and strain of poverty. They
have been thru the bitter struggle to
keep up appearances and make one
dollar do the work of five. They have
known the wearing anxiety of wonder
ing how the bills are to be paid. Their
very souls have been scared with envy
of those who rode in limousines while
they walked to save carfare, and they
want to save their girls from the hard
ships they have been thru.
So are they not wholly selfish in
urging a mercenary marriage. on their
daughters. There is even something
piteous in their sordidness, but never
theless they are wrong, and the bar
gain they would make for their girls
is bad bargain, from every point OF
view.
To begin with, money is a poor thing
to marry for, because it is the easiest
thing in the world to get. II man

if he lack intelligence. and the quality
