CONCERNING MONEY
BY DIR. w. e. BARTON

IT'S heaven alone that is given
away,
IT'S only God may be had for the
asking.
No price is set on the lavish sum-
mer;
June may be had by the poorest
conner"
People who quote these lines COM
monty omit the last couplet. thus
restricting the lesson, by inference,
to things of the soul. But the sum-
mer as we'll as the soul Is of the
things which money cannot buy.
Let us have no cant about it. We
need money, If we are to live and
pay our honest debts. Samuel john
SON, who had little money himself,
was a wise enough philosopher to
say that few men are SO harmlessly
employed as when they are making
money. But love and sunlight and
the joy of June comes free.
You cannot buy health with
money, and your health is more
valuable than money. You cannot
buy back lost opportunities OF
friendship and the hearts of those
you love. Care for money? Yes,
certainly; but in proportion to it's
real worth.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
THE OLD MAN

I met him often by the sea, a
white and wintry gent; his age was
e~ighty-two or three, and he was frail
and bent. And still he talked of
coming days, and plans he had i'll
view, as though he meant to go his
ways a century or two. He'd build
d house and plant a tree and take a
motor trip, and visit lands across
the sea when he could board a ship.
He was a blithe and sprightly man,
his spirit high and bold; he would
not be an also ran, though he was
passing old. One balmy night he
went to bed all full of pleasant
schemes, and in the morning he was
dead-he'd checked out in his
dreams. And l admire thai fine old
jay, his system wise appears-to act
as though you planned to stay on
earth a hundred years. Too many
think as they wax old that they have
shot their bolts, that plans and
schemes they shouldn't hold, since
they're no longer colts. And so they
sit before the fire and drool of by
gone years, and by slow inches they
expire, with dotard signs and tears.
When I'm that old l won't admit I'm
in the has-been class, but from my
trusty Tyre I'll hit a noise like
sounding brass.

The matter of unsightIy bill boards in various

GRAND JURY RETURNS
EIGHTEEN INDICTMENTS
Continued from Page one.)

called during the January term of the
court, of quarter sessions, and, if pos
sible, at the opening of such term so
that they may have more time in which
to investigate matters and facts>6om-
ing to their notice.
The jury further reported that they
had, thru their various committees,
visited the several institutions under
the control of the county, and in brief,
made the following recommendations
County Jail-Fences need repairing:
surroundings need care such as re-
moving of ashes, weeds, etc, care and
neatneSs needed; window castings need
paint. Women's quarters in good con-
dition, but need painting. Tiling on
| first floor and concrete in basement
need repairing. Shower bath needed
| Beds look dirty, blankets need wash
ing, and should be cleansed after each
prisoner leaves; toilets dirty: prison
ers allowed to be careless of the use
of cuspidors. New plumbing needed
in jailers quarters. both unsanitary
| and dangerous, new bath tub requir-
| ed, tiling in bad shape and must be
| repaired. Woodwork needs paint and
all rooms need fresh paper. In this
| connection the committee recommends
that John Cooper who is blind be re-
moved from the Jail to the state in
| stitution for the blind, or if that be
| impossible then to the county farm.
The committee states that in general

to be adequately protected against loss
of life in case of fire.
Poor Farm-All buildings in very
! good condition; furniture and equip
7 ment in clean and sanitary condition.
| Buildings warm and comfortable and
| no complaints heard from inmates, all
of whom but few are in good health
| and contented; there are sixty-scven
| inmates and those who are physically
| fit are given employment Fire es-
| capes on the stone building are recon-
| mendcd: also the construction of
| barn. Management is commended.
City Hall and Police Department
! Police force inadequate in the number
| of detectives or plain clothes men, and
patrolmen: additional number recon-
mcndcd for the protection of the city.
| City's automobile equipment made
quate; should be at least one other
automobile of high speed capacity,
carrying seven passengers. Accomoda-
tions for youthful law breakers in de-
tcntion wards of the Jail are wholly
unfit for the health and morals of
such inmates. being overheated and
! poorly ventilated, while they are with
| in earshot of quarters from which OBJ
scene language and profanity can be
| easily heard. Kitchen of the Jail is
we'll managed and kept; the same can

ample bathing facilities, good light,
| heat and ventilation.
