MARTHA HINES HILL

Martha Hines Hill departed this
life April 20, 1922. She was the
daughter of William and Missouri
Hines, was born August 5, 1885, was
the youngest of family of five chill
dren, was married to James Fl. Hill
Sept. 7, 1907. To this union three
children were born-one daughter and
two sons. The daughter preceded her
in death. There are left to mourn her
death her husband, two sons, John
Russell and William Curtis, an aged
father, one sister and two brothers
James Hines of Memphis, Tenn, Mrs.
Geo LEM, and Will Hines of Womack.
She was loving wife, a true mother,
and Christian, one of the noblest
names we can wear. She was buried
in baptism by Elder J. B. Dodson on
Dec q, 1898, thereby becoming
Christian at the tender age of 10
years, and proved faithful unto
death; therefore we know she will
hear the Savior's Welcome, come I'M
to me We beloved. And oh! how
sweet this is to the bereaved ones,
when the heart is torn and bleeding.
But Christ will bind them up if they
will trust him..
She also leaves many other rela-
tives and friends who will sadly miss
her. But the loss, the real loss, is to
her babies; may they be protected and
loved.
The writer has known and loved her
all of his life. Funeral services were
conducted by Elder N. C. Beard, after
which she was laid to rest in the
Ballard cemetery, near Womack, to
await the resurrection morn.
Safe from toll and danger,
Safe in the Savior's love,
Safe in the home He prepared for us,
Safe in the church above.

physical values in business or to the
hobbies which are their amusement.
Mr.. Babson's work as a statistician
has convinced him that human values
are the chief asset of business. If
young men and boys become a habil-
ity in community it is because its
citizens have allowed them to drift
instead Of helping them form habits
which make character.
Twelve to twenty is life's formative
period. During these years boys
future is determined. The majority
of males added annually to the mem
bership of our churches are "teen age"
boys. Seventy-one per cent of males
in penal institutions have not as yet
reached the voting age. Wise lead
ers using sane methods will help to
start the boy right, This is easier
and less expensive than to salvage
human wreckage. "An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure"
The money that sends one boy through
reform school will save about TWEEN
ty boys.
Probably at no time in the memory
of the present generation have temp
tations been so multiplied and re-
straints been so relaxed as at present.
Our cities, towns and country com
munities TEEN with young men and
boys who are potential Assets of the
State, but may become Liabilities.
Boys and young men have special
problems and distinctive needs, which
require investment of time and money
by those who appreciate the value of
character, A prominent clergyman
has said that if he was asked to name
the organization which, in recent
years, had been most effective in its
cooperation with the church in deal
ing with the problems he would I'M
hesitatingly name The Young Mems
Christian Association.
What shall it profit community
if it gains the whole world and loses
its own boys and girls?"

Deficit for 1923 Increased from
$167, 100000 to $4S4, 100000.

While Republicans are claiming that
the administration is making savings,
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in
an official statement shows that the
estimates of deficits are steadily, in
creasing. One of the widest state
ments concerning Republican econ
omy was recently published in the
press and attributed to Senator Lodge,
leader of the Republican party in the
Senate.
Senator Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss
called the attention of the Senate to
this error published all over the coun-
try and also exposed the false claims
of the junior Senator from Ohio (Mr.
Willis) in a recent New York speech.
"In the course of his (Senator
Lodge's) Speech" said Senator Harri-
son, (which was carried in all the
press of the country, he made the
statement that appropriations of 3d.
1877 100000 asked by the departments
have been cut to $1,428,000, 900.
Whether he made that statement or
not I do not know. Of course, he was
speaking as a candidate and laboring
under the enthusiasm of speaking to
his constituents and it was but natu-
raj that he should get his figures a
little confused. Whether he made the
statement or not, the papers carried
it that way"
/ Senator Lodge said there was an
error of one word in the statement
which he corrected on the floor and
in the permanent Record, but admitted
that the papers carried his statement
wrong.
Senator Harrison said many grossly
exaggerated claims have been made.
He called attention to the speech of
Senator Willis of Ohio, making claim
to big changes and big cuts and then
referred to the letter from Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon to Senator
McCumber saying that the estimates
Of $167 100000 deficit for 1928 have
increased "under the alleged splendid
management of the new administra-
ton" to S484, 100000, which the SEN
ator thought might be more when the
true facts are known.
Saying that Secretary Mellon attri-
buted the increased deficit to the fall
ing off of the income tax, Senator
Harrison added:
Il think that is true There is de-
preston everywhere. Nobody is MAX
ing any money scarcely under the
promised prosperity under this admin
istration. So it is perfectly natural
that incomes should be greatly dimin-
ished. You, who have been laying and
may in the future lay large claims of
savings, should study the deficits and
remember this report Of the Secretary

COpley's Defeat Due to Fight on
"Snecial Irterests."

Republican primaries are beginning
to give line on how the people feel
toward this administration, which
supplements and confirms what was
shown in the recent municipal cleo
tons in which the Democrats were
so overwhelmingly successful.
A primary contest in point was that
in the Eleventh Illinois District, where

Committee, a Northumberland, and

won, which in substance is that his

interests controlling the Republican

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, April 29.-The conser-
walton of natural resources which was
hobby of Theodore Roosevelt and
a policy of President Roosevelt's ad-
mfistration, is in danger of being
completely overthrown, 10 judge by
the violent assaults that are being
made upon it in connection with oil
and coal lands.
What promises to be a great ma
tional scandal is the alleged turning
over of the huge Teapot Dome oil
fields in Wyoming to private interests.
This is one of the fields held in re-
serve for the Navy to keep adequate
reserves of fuel for it's oil-burning
ships. The naval oil reserves were
recently taken over from the Navy
Department under an executive order
by President Harding. The deal for
the Teapot Dome district is with the
Sinclair Oil interests, subsidiary of
the Standard Oil, and the latter COM

WHAT SHALL 1T PROFIT

In recent book, Roger W. Babson
tells the story of call upon noted
manufacturer whose hobby was his
dairy farm. He was well acquainted
with the pedigree and record of each
of his cows, but was not acquainted
with operatives in his factory, nor
could he tell the name of the young
man who called for his daughter, and
took her to a party lasting until two
o'clock in the morning. Mr.. Babson
thought the attitude of this manufac-
turer typical of many Americans, who
pay less attention to human than to
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-05-05

pany is said to be preparing to build
pipelines to carry the oil to it's refin-
cries in the Middle West. The Sim
clair Oil stock has been more or less
dormant for year. Just prior to the
. time of the alleged closing of the deal
with the Interior Department the mar
| ket value of the stock increased more
than $30,000,0 900 in three days, as a
result of huge transactions on the
New York Stock Exchange, indicat-
ing that there was an inside tip on the
alleged deal.
If it had not been for the vigilance
Of Senator John B. Kendrick, who so
ably represents Wyoming in the Unit
ed States Senate, this deal which was
made in secret and evidently without
any competitive bids might not now be
known to the public. Senator Ken
drick introduced resolution calling
upon the Secretary of the Interior for
information concerning this oil nego-
tiation, and in speaking upon this res
olution he pointed out the immense
value of this great naval oil reserve,
and also that it was of greater bene-
int to the nation to allow this oil to
remain stored underground than to
remove it across the country to be
stored in surface tanks as was pro-
posed.
Secretary Fall of the Interior De-
partment has been consistent oppo-
nent of national conservation. He is
not the only member of the admins
traton who has been identified with
representatives of Standard Oil. At
torney General Daugherty was a lieu
tenant of the late Senator Foraker in
Ohio, and Foraker was known as the
Standard Oils representative at
Washington. President Harding was
also affiliated with the Foraker fac
ton in Ohio in those days.
Recently when the independent oil
people of Texas and Oklahoma were
clamoring for tariff on oil, the Pres
ident of the Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey called at the White House
while the Fordney bill was pending in
the House, and oil is. still on the free
list.
One reason alleged for the sudden
change of sentiment among Republi-
can Senators who had previously op-
| posed the ratification of the treaty
with Columbia, when it was ratified
in the early part of President Hard
ing's administration, was that Stand
ard Oil was interested in the acquisi-
ton and development of Columbian
oil bearing territory.
The partnership between oil and the
Republican party dates back to the
early days when the Standary Oil Co.
was the ally of the corrupt Republi-
ran machine in Pennsylvania. With
the revelations concerning the Teapot
Dome district and the anticipated raid
on government coal lands in Alaska
there is every reason to assume con-
tinued alliance between oil and the G.
o. P. Friends of national conserva-
ton are naturally alarmed, and are
already limiting that conservation NAV
be one of the prominent issues in the
coming campaign.

VALE SCHOOL
RECEIVES LETTER
FROM IRELAND

Two weeks ago we mentioned
that the sixth grade Of Vale school
sent a letter to the American con-
sui at Belfast, Ireland.
We were happy to receive a reply
last week. 1t was a big fat letter
full of information about linen
manufacture. 1t seemed so nice to
think that it came from across the
ocean. On the envelope was
stamped, 1.-The American Consular
Service" In his letter the consul
said that he was a Virginian. He
told us that long time ago, the
English dealt unjustly with the
Irish, and kept the manufacture of
wool to themselves. This turned
out fortunately for the Irish; for
they then turned all their attention..
to the manufacture of cotton and
linen.
He described the process by
which the flax was prepared for
weaving, and how the bleaching
was done, by exposure for some
time to the weather. Some of the
snow-white table linen of Rich
mond no doubt, has been made In
Belfast.
Belfast is also noted for It's ship
building. Here the great Titanic,
which was sunk during the war,
was built, he said.--Edith l.. Webb,
reporter for Vale school.

ny" OVERLOOKING
WITH JUNIOR BOYS
DURING VACATION

During the vacation jubilee the
Y has fairly swarmed with boys.
Mr.. Perry Wilson has been graft
fled by the fine turnout. That the
boys throughout the city have
taken this opportunity to use their
vacation profitably is evidenced by
the fact that a good majority Of
them have been members Of the
Y. M. c. A.
The first group to get into the
pool on Wednesday numbered half
an hundred, and the second thirty
On Thursday the number was about
doubled, for who can resist q good
swim.
The soccer game was close one,
on Wednesday The score was
2 to 0, in favor of the West team,
made up Of husky West Siders.
The teams were large, about 80
boys playing. Not all the boys had
vacations on Wednesday, conse-
quently Thursday saw great in
crease in participants.
Junior Hi-Y Club
The Junior Hy-Y club plans are
now under way. Mr.. Wilson will
hold inference with Mr..
Manning and Mr.. Heironimus next
week and the possibility of having
two Junior Hi-Y clubs will be dis
cussed. There is a sufficient num-
Der of boys in each Junior High
school to form a good substantial
club. The matter will depend upon
the enthusiasm of the boys in each
school.
Wireless Will Soon Be Ready
The wireless outfit at the Y has
not yet been completed, much to
the disappointment of everyone
over there. There has been de-
lay over the wiring, and the radio
has not been connected up. The in
dications are that it will be all
ready for use in few days.
Sunday Club Meets
The Boys Sunday Afternoon
club will hold it's regular meeting
on Sunday. Every boy of junior
age is invited to come. There was
no meeting last Sunday, due to the
meeting held in Centerville.

COUNTY AGENT DOLAN
SPEAKS AT GARFIELD

The ga Social and Industrial
Geography class, taught by Miss
Heitbrink, enjoyed hearing a talk
by Mr.. Dolan, county agricultural
agent for Wayne county. Mr.. Do
Ian, who was once teacher him
self, thinks school children should
learn agricultural methods as well
as their other subjects, because
so per cent of the population of the
United States is engaged in farm
ing pursuits.
He brought with him to the
school a weed called white Snake
Weed" 1t is very poisonous, and,
II eaten by animals, will cause
their death within "a hours. 1t was
not known until recently what
caused their death, so Mr. Dolan is
helping the farmers to get rid of
this weed
Mr.. Dolan also talked on chicken
culling. He brought two hens with
him for exhibits. He called at
tention to the fact that the hen
which Is fast moulter will lay
more eggs than the hen that takes
all summer to moult, cause
moulting takes strength from the
hen. The hen first mouths on the
neck, then on the back, then on the
body, and last of all, on the wings.
He also stated that the color will
gradually leave the hens bill after
she has laid for five weeks and her
legs and feet after laying six
months. It is said that the color
from the legs and feet go into the
yolk of the egg. A good layer is
always contented, and poor one,
fussy. A good hen should lay at
least. hundred. and fifty eggs
year, as the record is over 300
eggs. Mr.. Dolan says, Always set
the hen on eggs that have been laid
by the best layers of the flock"

cher played America" on his cor
nat. Then the whole school sang it.
Working in Courts Pads
The sixth grade folks are work
fng in their Courts practice pads.
Everybody started with number ID.

First Grade Sand Table
Miss STEMS room have Columbus
voyage made in the sand. They
have three boats with sails on
them. The boats are made Of pa
per. There are berries and pieces
of wood in the water just like
Columbus saw. There is also a
piece of carved wood in the water
floating, like Columbus saw when
he had almost reached land. On the
land there are trees with Indians
peeping out from behind them. The
coast has rocks on it. The child
rem have done very nice work on 1t.
They have also made pictures Of
his ships sailing on the water. Miss
Stein has a colored picture on the
blackboard of him landing.
70 Studying Wheat In Third Grade
The third grade are studying
wheat. When they went to the
fair they took special notice of the
wheat. In their geography class
they are learning how they sow the
wheat, how they cultivate it, how
they cut it, how they thresh it, and
then how 1t is sent to the grain ele-
vator. They are studying how 1t is
made into flour, sent to the bakers
and made into bread. They are
making a harvest scene In the sand
table. Some children are going to
bring pictures of threshing ma
chimes, a water tank, q house, and
other things that will make har-
vest scene. One of the boys has
brought sickle that his ancestors
used. 1t is quite different from the
ones we use now. They are max
ing posters on wheat. Some of the
posters have biscuits and bread on
them, and other things made of
flour.-Helen Thomas, reporter for
Hibberd school.

STARR SCHOOL POETS
WRITE FALL POEMS

The children of Starr school have
been making up poems. The little
4A's think Of a lot of poems about
the leaves and rainy days and OF
many other things. Ralph Gish, OF
the "A wrote the following:
Jack Frost said to the wind one
day,
Let's ask the leaves to come and
play.
III have them put on their colors
gay,
And we will frolic and dance away.
Catfish Visits School
Ellen and Walter King brought
1.-Two catfish to school, and it is
very interesting to watch. Waiter
feeds it water-cress, bread and fish
ing worms. The children of Starr
school like to study the catfish
very much.
Art Room Collecting Leaves
In the art room we are making a
large collection of beautiful leaves.
We have a number of them hang
ing on the bulletin board, and we
are going to try to find out what
are the names of all of the leaves.
Short Vacation
The third, fourth and fifth grades
had holidays on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday of this week, be-
cause the teachers are attending
the Teachers Association meetings
held in Indianapolis.
The first and second grades had

New Report Cards

Report cards are not always
pleasant things to think Of, and yet
they are very satisfying, especially
If one has worked hard all term.
The new report cards are really in
teresting. In some subjects where
definite standards are set, the
score of the pupil will be written
in under the normal score of his
grade. This will make it possible
for the pupil to judge his own prog
ress. That will help us to do bet
ter, will 1t not, Juniors?
