Study The Bonus Question

No important piece of legisla-
tion should pass congress before
it has been thoroughly discussed
by the people of the country and
they have had an opportunity to
transmit their views to Washing
ton. The soldiers bonus bill will
be enacted promptly, but there is
no disposition at the capitol to
railroad provisions and render
their verdict. Hearings will be
held at once by the ways and
means committee of the house,
and then the measure will be
drafted and reported to that bo-
dy. Copies will be available for
all who apply for them, and ev-
cry voter who cares to inform
himself of the bonus and the
form of taxes that will be levied |
fof its payment can do so. Sew
eral weeks will probably elapse
between the report of the bill to
the house and its approval by
the president, giving ample time
for the expression of all shades
of opinion regarding it.

The Gossip Box

We promised we wouldn't re-
veal any names, but we heard a
certain woman telling a few days
ago about a new plan her family
has adopted which we believe
would be a good idea for other
families to emulate. She saws
the first of the year her family
established what they call a
gossip box" 1t is a little tin
box with a slot cut in the top,
just large enough to permit a
dime to be dropped through.
They agreed, this woman her
husband and their two children,
that every time they said any,
thing unkind about anyone else
the one making the remark
would drop a dime into the box. |
Formerly" she says, 1--WE
never finished a meal but what |
someone came into our CONVEX
And before long we
were doing a good deal of gossip
ing around the table. Then we
started the gossip box" We've
all had to drop our dimes into
it at time, but lately we have
earned to guard our convers-
alton, and if we can't say some
hing nice about those we are
about, we just remember

Being Praise-Stingy

We are pretty we'll acquainted
with Laclede citizens, and we
believe we are fitted to say that
every one of them, without ex-
ception enjoys a little praise.
And, since we are all in the same
human family, why isn't it reas-
enable to suppose that the other
fellows likes it equally as we'll as
we do, why be stingy with it?
There are many people doing
praiseworthy acts these days.
They get tired, of course. But
when you tell them they're do
ing mighty fine" it r .sts them
up and gives them renewed
energy. it makes them feel like
in and doing even more
for the community than they
have yet done. There are those
who take part in public enter
tainments, who pass subscrip-
ton papers for worthy causes,
who serve on committees and
give literally of their time in
scores of other ways. Why not
remember that they like praise
lust as well as you do, and why
lot try rewarding them, and
showing them your appreciation
'f their efforts to help the COM
nunity by bestowing a little
'raise upon them? 1t costs

Money In Chickens

While scores of Laclede peopl,
raise chickens successfully on {
small scale, we believe there il
scarcely a man in town who ha!
not at some time or another
dreamed of fortunes to be made
in raising them as a business
They have gone so far as to
work out on paper, too, just how
they could take a dozen eggs and
an old hen and start in a busi-
ness that would within a few
years become tlourishing. But
when it is put to practice failures
are many.
But we read recently where a
Maryland woman has proven an
exception to the rule. She start
ed with 235 hens and last year
netted a profit of $1105. She
sold on market 1,444 dozens of
eggs for which she received
$541.18; 975 setting eggs, which
brought $3.50; 1856 spring chick
ems which yielded $150.88; 92
old hens sold for $130.75, and g.
OBS day-old chicks brought in
$542.70. In addition to this,
she kept $50 chicks to raise. Her
not counting her time
and work, amounted to $318.96, |
giving her better than a profit of |
a thousand dollars.
Raising chickens for the mar
ket is a long-hour jub. Done
it leaves little time for
recreation or amusement. In
cubators come off at irregular
hours, feeding must be done
scientifically and atregular hours
and disease and four-footed foes
must be guarded against with
vigilance. Figuring
he time the Maryland woman
put into the business and the net
profit she got out of it, shows
she got very little for her time,
,hough many regard it as fair
Jay. And even at that, she
cleared a little over a thousand
lollars where hundreds of others
ose everything the put into the
chicken game" ="

M|NUTEPLAY
HANDSVCTORYT


Up until a few seconds of the
final whistle of Saturdays game,
the score between East Chicago
high and Mishawaka looked like a
possible naught count. when the
visitors executed two cleverly con-
nived passes that won them a vic
tory, Z to 0.
At all times the struggle vas In
doubt. If anything. East Chicago
had the advantage. From the mo-
ment OF the first Kickoff the ball
was kept well away from the East
Chicago goal and was forced into
their opponents territory.
Despite the sweltering sun that
beamed down upon the players and
appeared to be melting them away,
both teams displayed an abundance
of speed. 1t was on account of this
neat that neither team could gain
any material advantages until IN
the last few seconds OF the game,
when Mishawaka shot owe two for
ward passes hat gave them their
triumph over the home boys.
Coach Smith does not consider
Saturdays game as a test for the
high school team. He is confident
of the ability Of every player with
the exception of one or two and
with these changes the. high school
coach expects to carry on through
the season.

PADDY DR|SCOLL IS
SAME OLD CHARGER

The educated toe of Paddy Dris-
coll yesterday proved to be the
winning factor in a 3 to 0 football
game between the Chicago Cardinals
and the Milwaukee football team at
Normal park. 61st street and Racine
avenue. The former Northwestern
star booted a place kick directly
over the goal post in the first quar-
ter, and 1t proved to be the deciding
and only score of the game.
The field goal in the first period
was the fruit of better punting by
the Cardinals early in the game. Both
walls held we'll and the locals gained
the ground only by the advantage
in exchange of kicks. There was an
average difference of eight yards in
the first quarter and the variation
made it possible for the Cards to
nudge into the visitors territory.
Then Pollard fumbled and the Cards
recovered the oval after which Dris-
coll reeled off a long run around left
end. Trials at bucking failed and
Driscoll dropped back for the place
kick he made. More than $500 per-
sons saw the game.

wiidered the visiting aggregation

were at no time in danger OF being

GARY ELKS SWEAT
THROUGH VICTORY
OVERMAP[EWOOD
BY SPIKE

Gary Elks' football representa-
tives. aspirants for the middle
western gridiron championship. took
the Maplewood Rovers of Chicago
like Grant took Richmond at Glea-
son field in Gary yesterday after
noon.
1t was their ambition to beat the
visitors by a few more points than
2s-0 which the Cardinals ran up
against them q week ago, and they
did exactly that and added ten more
on top of It, making it $50.
The afternoon sun was just a bit
too warm for ideal football weather
but the Elk warriors did not mind
Old Sol. neither did the fans. Two
thousand of them p a k d the
bleachers lining both sides of the
field and every one of them, except
some OF the visitors, report that "a
good time was had" Many out-of-
town people. from Hammond. East
Chicago and the Harbor. made UP
the audience. Ever Crown Point
was represented in goodly numbers.
The game vas the opener of the
season for Il antlered braves and
the first chance fans have had to
look them ever. With one or two
exceptions the local aggregation
put in a classy appearance and from
our point Of view. ought to come
out of the 1922 season with the mid
d~le-western title. Following the
game. Captain Blocker stated that
he would make a few changes in
the personel of the team this week.
1t was smeltzer day as far as
spectacular performance was con-
cerned. Time and again he brought
the fans to their feet with his clev-
er running slipping through the
visitors arms and fingers as though
he was creased lightning.
Dawson. new end for Gary. also
exhibited some class in nabbing for
ward passes out of the air. He
caught two Rover forward passes
and scored touchdowns after spec
t~acular long runs. lie Will become
a permanent fixture on the Elk
cam.
The playing Of Kyle vas also an
outstanding feature of the game.
His wonderful toe work in booting
the ball brought much a%pplauses. To
look at the sturdy grid star, one
wouldn't imagine he could run. but
believe US lie can. He also proved
an addition CT strength on the Of
Tense as well as a ground gamer
with the ball.
Then there was S~elieger. Ham
mond star. He is a power in the
line. Where you looked for the ball
you would find Frank. Frank
Blocker. who tore a ligament in his
side. Chuck Harris, Johnny Coyle,
Veenker. Cattorini. Kneisley and
Forty Anderson wero also shining
lights on the team. In fact, every
man on the team played football
and is deserving of individual men
ton.
Gary scored nineteen points in the
first half and ninteen in the second
half.

ing thg victory of the varsity foot
ball team Saturday over the slow
moving but adamart Rensselaer,
eleven which tasted defeat. 6 TO O.
III the initial game of the season
for both teams
Of students circled the
eridIron at Hammond high and IN
der the inspiring contortions or a
mite called "Fewee' cheered their
nights IN moleskins and headgear,
Hammond scored Don after the
second quarter when Chevigny re-
cefved the ball on Rensselaer's To-
ward line. SKINNED like A frighten-
cd deer through the fitting ranks
'of the opposing head hunters ana
dropped the ball for the only ouch-
down of the game. Meyers tried 10
kick goal but the attempt was poor
and the ball spun far to the left.
Coach Wilson was well pleased
with the showing of his men. his
,one disappointment was in their
failure to put over a telling punch
fiust when their opponents were al
lowest ebb. At no time in the game
was Hammond's goal in serious dan
ger. On the contrary, the ball was
virtually all of the time in Rensse-
Iaer territory and had the Ham
.mond lads displayed as much conf
dence as they did ability the score
would have been more indicative of
their real superiority over the down
state team.
Wilson'S chief worry now is 70
bolster center. Time and agar the
backs Of the opposing team plowed
sthrough that position. Wilson play
ing a six-nan defense. attributed
+ weakness to this new arrange
ment. There may be some changes
tnrhe line before the next game,
Wilson intimated.
Hammond played a defensive
game throughout. But It wasn't a
a game and considering the heat
and the fact that many Of the lads
were rather shaky. the result of the
contest is highly encouraging to the
school officials.
