She blew US a kiss as she turned
and walked swiftly back 70 the door
OF the art gallery. Robert Savarn
proffered his hand 70 Lillian 70 help
her into the car.

then in a whisper which carried
farther than he knew, heard him
add:

I saw her face brighten at the
whispered words. and I was as glad
at the sight as I could be for the in
dignation which was mine against
the rudeness. the callous taking for
granted OF Lillian's compassion,
which Mrs. Rumble had exhibited.
And I knew that even though Rob
ert Savarins artistic instincts could
not regret the recognition he had
obtained for Eleanor Rundle's work,
yet he bitterly resented her cava-
lier behavior TO the woman he
adored

Tale of a Masonic Charm.

A congressman, the story goes
years ago was far from home and got
short of cash. He had a Masonic
charm on his watch chain, and noticed
that fellow-traveler in the smoker
wore similar charm. He sat down
by him and said confdentially: ''Broth-
er, | am up against it. Lend me 500
till [ get home" His casual travel
companion glanced at the charm,
looked him over, and finally handed
him the hundred, which was promptly
returned when the congressman got
home. Recently the two men met at
a gathering of Masons and recalled
the incident.
"Say" said the man who lent the
money, "when you met me on that
train I wasn't Mason at all. had
found the charm and put it on the
chain. You thought I was a Mason
however, and I was ashamed to have
you think wouldn't help brother in
distress. But 1 wasn't Mason them

CHEESEMAN'S reply, II wasn't either,

1t is to the credit of America that
she refused to accept the Italian gov
ernment's invitation to send a delega-
ton to the Genoa conference It is
fact that no so-called "international'
conference could possibly be interna-
tional without the United States "sit-
ting in" But it appears That the fun
damental features of the economic
conference are to be omitted from the
Genoa program. European readjust-
ment is largely political problem.
Mr.. Hughes made this point clear in
his reply to the invitation. In Ian
'guage diplomatic he pointed out that
We are not willing to spend our re-
sources to assist European nations un-
It'll they show good faith by helping
themselves. Participation, under the
circumstances, in the Genoa confer
ence would obligate the United States
to take sides in European policies in
which we have absolutely no interest.
1T would mean unnecessary entangle-
ment in maze of European politics.
So it is we'll for us to keep our skirts
clear of the problems involved in the
Genoa conference. BY the way, it is
a surprise that ere now Mr. Bryan
has not offered his services to the
conference.

A Long Step Ahead.

It is gratifying to note that the
government is making real progress
in its avowed purpose Of encouraging
better methods in the dispatch of pub.
lie business.
The war emphasized the fact that a
real partnership exists between gov.
eminent and business, and active
steps taken by departmental officers
toward making the working arrange
ment between the two constructive
and mutually helpful are highly com
mendable.
The two departments which come
into the most intimate contact with the
people are the treasury department.
with it's new and intimate tax laws,
and the postoffice department, whose
business it is to serve and, therefore,
to help every individual citizen.
The postoffice department is an
educating and business building agent.
Accordingly, it's prompt recognition of
the value of labor-saving devices in
the more effective and more economic
handling Of the mail is most praise
worthy.
One of the most interesting of these
devices is the epoch-making postage
meter machine, the use of which the
department has authorized. The first
of these machines has just been in
stalled in the offices of the local tele-
phone company.
The postage meter imprints directly
on the letter postage stamp and a
postmark in such form as to avoid the
necessity of stamp cancellation and
postmarking at the outgoing postof-
fice
The general use of these machines
by important mailers throughout the
country will effect annual savings of
dollars. Similar savings will result
to the users of the machine. There
will be other equally important re-
suits such as the more rapid dispatch
of the mail and the protection to the
business men and the government
against defalcation and other losses
incident to the handling of adhesive
postage stamps.
The labor employed in the routine
work performed by the machine will be
released to work called for superior
mental activities and which is more
remunerative to the individuals per-
forming such service.
This is one Of the most noteworthy
instances of the practical application,
of business methods to government op-
erations that has yet marked the prog
ress Of the postal service. It recog-
nizes the value of active cooperation
with the users of the mails in the in
terest of the better postal service for
everyone at the minimum cost to the
public. Washington Post.

Here is little story from H. Cor
don Selfridge, the big London depart
ment store proprietor who recently ar
rived in New York, which is we'll worth
reproduction: "Just now there is too
much government everywhere, too
much taxes and too many enterprises
being carried on by government bu-
reaus. Many of these should be car
ried on by private individuals. Re-
member, the money used for these
enterprises is the peoples money and
has to be furnished by taxation. Put
these things back where they belong
and the rusult would be that taxation
would be reduced and everybody ex-
cept the officeholders would be salts
fled. That. government operation is
scarcely ever made to pay is demon
strated by the Glasgow tramways.
These tramways are being operated at
a loss and the deficit supplied by the
Glasgow city treasury" There is at
least one government enterprise in the
United States which congress should
discontinue-that is the printing of
stamped envelopes for whomsoever
may send in an order. Upon more
than one occasion the printers of the
country have endeavered to have this
unfair competition removed but with
out avail. 1t is unfair because the
government does the work at a price
with which no printer can compete
and make living wages.

THE SALARY QUESTION.

The school boards iii every section
of the state have this spring doubt
.lessly been called upon to face the diff
ficult question of reducing the salaries
of their teachers. It is not an easy
matter for any employer to reduce the
salaries of competent employees but
conditions are sometimes such that
this difficulty cannot be avoided.
During the last twelve years there
has been big increase in teachers
salaries. Twelve years ago $50 and
sos per month was considered fairly
good compensation for college grad
uate teaching her first year in a high
school the size of the one in Prince
ton. If the teacher gave satisfaction
and was employed for the second year
in the same position her salary was
generally increased S. per month. To-
day the average salary of our high
school instructors is $3.50 per month
and that of the grade teachers SIPS.
During this twelve year period
practically all salaries, have been
increased but probably not many of
them as much as those Of the teacl
ers. However, it must be remembered
that teaching has always been con-
sidered one of the most underpaid
professions and there is question as
to the advisability Of reducing the
compensation granted the teachers
even at the present time.
On the other hand every school
board is confronted with the plea of
the property owners that their taxes
be reduced. Princeton village is Of
course not in as straitened circum-
STANCES as some other portions of the
county. The 1921 tax rate in the vii
lage was 8.4 mills less than that of
1920, having been reduced from 1867
mills to 1913 mills. Of this 1913 mills
$40 mills is school tax. The children
are the most valuable investment we
have in the county and it behooves us
to make ample provision for their ed
ucatiion but there is a happy medium
in all things. With the delinquent tax
list in this county twice as large as it
was last year, and with practically all
salaries being decreased it is not sur
prising to find many school boards
contemplating lowering the salaries of
the teachers.
At the state convention of the school
boards a resolution was passed rec
omending decrease in the salaries Of
the teachers but this recommendation
has not been followed in all the schools
and some of the superintendent have
thereby been placed in most difficult
position.
1t would seem that the rule adopted
by the school board in Grand Rapids
is as satisfactory as any that has been
suggested. That board agrees to pay
every teacher who retains her present
position the same salary she is receiv-
ing this year and to reduce the sal
aries of the incoming teachers. It is
highly advisable, if possible, to adopt
policy which will discourage fire.

personnel of any faculty.

Bryan now says he prefers to keep
on believing he came from mud in
stead of monkey. Well, so far
as is known no one is objecting Red
Wing Eagle.
The theory of evolution is peculiar
stuff, Olson, and Mr.. Bryan may be
right if he said he came from mud.
The scriptures tell us that from dust
we came and to dust we must return,
or words to that effect, and mud is
merely an admixture of dust and wa
ter. Now, is it not possible that we
all evolved from mud-or rather from
a protoplaasm generated by mud i?

other executives were removed from
