CONFIDENCE

Confidence is something almost as
difficult to define as it is to summon
at will. We know in a general way
that it proceeds from character, yet
there is more to it than this. The man
you sit next to, who is driving the
car, may have character, yet you un-
consciously stiffen your knees when
he goes around corners. When you
have confidence you are relaxed and a
double result is achieved; he does
well and you let him do we'll. And is
not this the difference between this
Administration and the last one? We
were curious about Mr. Hughes, but
in quite a different manner than about
Mr. Bryan. Our curiosity about Mr..
Bryan soon wore off. Think of the
difference between Bryan and Hughes?
Think of the difference between Bur
Lesson and Baker and Daniels and 9TH
ers it is not necessary to recall, on
the one side, and Mellon and Hoover
and Hughes and Hays on the other
side. And Dawes! Consider Dawes and
his ways.

knives and conversation about the bro
therhood of man and the sacrifices
you must make for humanity aren't
liked when an operation is about to
be performed. You would rather have
a businesslike individual who puts on
the gloves and gets at you with de-
meanor of quiet competence.
A crew of pessimists is abroad who
persist in saying that the bottom has
dropped out of everything. Things are
bad, no doubt, but it is precisely when
things seem to be at their worst that |
they mend. Confidence is returning |
slowly, but returning. We have had
some pretty hard jolts. The men in
charge of our government today are |
going about their task in thoroughly |
business-like manners They have the
goda sense to acknowledge their own
limitations and the honesty not to
claim to be miracle workers.
Mr.. Harding has fastened upon him,
long years of practical exper-
ience, habits of endurance and hard
work. He grows in repute. His sin
certify shines through everything he
does. We know he is not superman.

DISCOVERED AMERICANS WHO
NEVER SAW A MOVIE SHOW

The First National Bank of Alva,
Oklahoma, in a report made to the So
ciety for Visual Education, asserts
that in numerous communities in part
of that state there are hundreds of
children and grownups who have yet
to see their first movie" and that
there is not single school in the vi
cinity which is equipped with a NOV
| ing picture protector for the purposes
of visual instruction.
The bank has invested in a projec-
tor of the portable type, and at pres
ent is working with the county agent
in giving film programs to remote
communities in the county. The First
National cashier, Frank G. Munson, in
speaking of the possibilities for using
educational films in the grade and high
schools of the district, said:
"It is as remarkable as it is some
times pathetic to witness the wide-ey-
ed interest with which these unspoil-
ed audiences follow the pictures we
bring to them. This evening we have
program scheduled in the school
house of the consolidated district in
Fairy, a little town on Red Horse
Greek of the Cimarron River. Tomor-
row evening we are to show in Faulk-
ner, another isolated community on a
fork of the Arkansas. Both Of these
places are about twenty-five miles
from Alva, but in the audience will be
scores who have come from fifty to
nearly a hundred miles away to enjoy
their first experience of the movies
The bank intends to continue in the
free picture show business as long as
the interest and appreciation demon
strated seem to justify the expenditure
of time and money, says Mr.. Munson.
The programs used are judicious adj
mixture of films on agriculture and
natural history, secured from the De-
partment of Agriculture, travel, cur
rent events, b.onafide school subjects |
like American history, civics and geog-
raphy, and straight entertainment fea-
lures such as dramas and comedies.
The response to the educational pic
lures, the bank declares, has been just
as sincere and real as that which the
features themselves provoke. From
this observation Mr.. Munson draws
hopeful augury for the future of "bet-
ter films" when the leaven Of higher
which is beginning to work
today shall have had time to effect its
in the tastes of the entire pic
ture-going public.

RAILWAY DEBTS AND CREDITS

Western newspapers resent the
readiness of the Government to make
it easy for the railways to repay what
they owe for expenditures in better
ments during Government administra-
ton. The funding of these railway
debts is classed with what is called
the guarantee of railway earnings, and
it is said to be odious to withhold the
soldiers bonus and yet be generous
toward the railways. There is not the
slightest relation between the two
things. It might even be said that
the funding of the railways debt
would affect the bonus faVorably, in
so far as whatever eases Government
finances and promotes prosperity gen
orally facilitates whatever duty is i'm
posed on the Treasury.
The railways ought to repay the
sums the Government expended on
their account. Also, the Government
ought to pay what it owes the rail-
ways on account of the guarantee"
But the two accounts ought not to be
settled by Offsetting the debts against
the credits, because they are Of diff
erent nature. What the Government
owes the railways is an overdue cur
rent cash transaction. What the rail-
ways owe the Government is an ex-
penditure on capital account. Every
business man knows that if he pays
current bills out Of capital his profit
and loss sheet shows red ink entries,
and insolvency approaches. The rail-
ways have to meet their bills, espec-
tally their interest bills, and there are
poftents of receiYerships if the rail-
ways cannot get what is due them on
current account. The Government in
particular ought to pay such bills for
the sake of example to others, and to
keep Government credit high. But the
fact is that Government is a bad bill
payer, although it's money comes cas-
lily to it, and Government officials do
not hesitate to take positions such as
they would blush to take in private
business. The Railway Administration
has not hesitated to put pressure on
the railways to make sacrifices for
quick settlements with the Govern |
ment, despite their embarrassment
due to Government maladministration,
and to the fact that they cannot get /
from the Government what they used !
to get from shippers.
In the days of prosperity the Gus
tom of the railways was to use part !.
of their income in the betterment of
their properties. Railway regulation
was able to reduce rates because of
the custom of allowing. a dollar for
betterments for each dollar of divi-
dends., The Interstate Commerce Com
stopped that, on the theory
that the rates should pay for the ser
vice, and should not supply funds for
capital uses. The Government has i'm
proved upon that doctrine by stopping
payments on admitted obligations.
With rates which barely cover oper-
ating expenses, with Government cred
it's out of reach, and with interest OBJ
legations falling due, it is time for
quick action. The Treasury is right
IN requiring the railways to prove all
their claims, and not to make. their
finances an excuse for ex-

DIFFERENT BREEDS OF HENS

mas Best for Meat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Chickens, for convenience, may be
classified as egg breeds, meat breeds,
general-purpose breeds, and fancy or
ornamental breeds.
The egg breeds include the small or
medium-sized fowls which are very ac-
tive, quick to mature, producers Of
white-shelled eggs, usually nOnsitters
or at best but poor sitters, and rather
poor mothers, say poultry specialists
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The varieties of Leghorns
and Minorcas are good representatives
of this class. Because they are poor
sitters some other breed, or at least
few other fowls, should be kept If nat
ural methods Of incubation are to be
employed. On account Of their early
maturity it is not uncommon for indi-
viduals of the egg breeds to begin lay
ing at the age Of four and One-half
months. These breeds do not fatten
as readily under ordinary conditions
as the larger and less active Breeds
and are rather sensitive to low tenn
perature, because Of their large combs
and wattles.
The largest fowls, represented in
the meat class, are especially suitable
for the production of large rOasters.
They are slow and somewhat sluggish
in movement, have little desire for
fOraging, are easily confined by low
fences, rather slow to mature persist
ent sitters, and rather Indifferent lay
ers Of brown-sheIled eggs. Many poul-
trymen, however, are getting very fair
egg yields from them. The Brahmas,
Langshans and Cochins may be men
toned as belonging to this class.
The general purpose breeds include
fowls which are Of fair size and which
will also produce a good quantity of
brown-shelled eggs, making them es-
pecially adapted to the person wish
ing a supply Of both eggs and meat.
AS one has to make frequent sales Of
flesh in the shape Of surplus cockerels
and hens, the carcass as well as egg
production should be considered. The
general-purpose breeds are usually
good sitters and good mothers. They
have medium-sized combs and wattles
and endure cold weather well. They |

SAM MAY TAKE
CHARGE OF HOPE FARM

Arrangement to turn Hope Farm in
to station for the treatment of sick
soldiers under government auspices
are being made through the United
States Public Health service, it is un-
derstood. Plans now being prepared
will provide for the treatment of so
United States soldiers at first, and la
ter for 100 men. 1t will be called Bran
dywine Sanitarium.
DR.. Albert Robin, medical director
of the Hope Farm sanitarium, and
secretary of the Delaware State Tu-
berculosis Association, could not be
seen, but DR.. Meredith /. Samuel. of
the Public Health Service, admitted
there was a possibility that Hope
Farm might be turned into a govern
ment sanitarium for the assistance
of tubercular soldiers. Soldiers who
have been gassed are said to be par
ticularly susceptible to tuberculosis
and pulmonary disease, and it is for
the assistance of these that the Hope
Farm institution will be taken over by
the government.
In order to carry out the plans now
under consideration it will be neces-
sary to make some alterations. There
now are facilities for caring for about
so patients and these will be sent
here at once, provided the plans go
through. Alterations under considera-
ton will increase the facilities for pa
tients to 100, and it is expected the
government will send the additional
patients here as the facilities for car
ing for them are provided.
The proposition that the United
States government to take over the
Hope Farm sanitarium will solve the |
financial difficulty the place has had, |
it is understood. Not only will all the |
facilities of the place be taken up, but |
the expense. of the disabled soldiers
will be borne by the government thus
assuring an income sufficient to pro-
vide for the maintenance of the place.
The payment is set at about SO day
for each patient, or $1O0 week for
the entire group of patients.
The government is understood to
have agreed to send here the prelimi-
nary first so disabled soldiers as soon.
as arrangements can be made for their
reception and the other fifty will fol-
low as soon as, the alterations plan
ned are made to permit enlarged ia
eilities for patients. It is expected the
first detachment of disabled soldiers
will reach the farm in few weeks.
