CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING
J. H. BARNES

1t is time to quit telling the farmer
that he is bankrupt. 1t is time to quit
telling industry that there is no farm
market.
In recent months these hopeful de-
velpoments have occurred
Abroad the steady gain in stability
and the increasing confidence in Eur
ope's recovery manifests itself in con-
stantly improving exchange relations.
At home wider public sentiment
appreciates that we can most quickly
help ourselves by aiding the recovery
of our best customers.
These things are Of immediate prom
Use to our farmers;
Wheat, led by advances in foreign
markets with their better buying
power, has advanced 25 per cent.
Hogs have advanced 35 per cent,
and today will net the corn raiser 75c
to soc a bushel instead of the zoe so
gloomily pictured.
Oats have advanced 80 per cent.
Sheep have almost doubled in price.
Cotton has doubled in price.
All farm selling prices are on the
up grade, all that the farmer buys
has cheapened. Labor is plentiful
and cheaper Farm credit difficult
ties have eased.
Europe will pay in 1922 with less
difficulty than it did in 1921.

OBITUARY Mrs. Frank Braudt, Sr.

MedOra Stockwell was porn
farm in the township of Little Grant,
Wisconsin, December 31st., 1852, and
passed away at her home in the viii
lage of Mt. Hope, February 4th., 1922.
She was united in marriage to
Frank Braudt, January 1st, 1872.
Their home was blessed with six sons
and one daughter, Martin and Frank
of Mt. Hope, Ernest of Bridgeport,
Ora of Wyalusing, Claude of Millville,
William of Boscobel, and Mrs. Oral
Monroe Of Mt. Hope, who with the
husband and one sister, Mrs. Ella Ed
wards of Mt Hope, one brother, Leo
nard Barnum of Tomahawk Lake,
Wisconsin, six daughter in-laws, one
sonin-law, twenty three grand-chil-
dren and two great grandchildren re-
main to mourn the loss of an affec-
tionate wife and mother.
In the early part of their married
life, Mr.. and Mrs. Braudt purchased
farm in the southeast part of the
township of Mt. Hope. Here their
boys grew up and attended the Shady
Dell school. In the spring of 1890,
they sold this farm and purchased
the Ira Brunson farm west of town
where they lived until retiring from
active farm life when they established
their present home in Mt. Hope.
Mrs. Braudt was woman of kind
generous, sympathetic nature, highly
esteemed by all of her neighbors.
Her home was the dearest place on
earth to her. AS a wife she was
helpmate indeed, always in her place
at home striving to upbuild and up
lift. AS another, she was kind and
affectionate with her family, always
seeking to help them.
Mrs. Braudt was a Charter member
Of the Rebeka Lodge of Mt. Hope and
tho for many years she was unable to
attend the meetings, yet she always
retained her membership.
She had been in falling health for
the past few years and suffered much
since last October, tho never com
planning as was characteristic thru
out her whole life.
A good wife and mother and a good
neighbor has been called home to her
eternal rest. May she receive the
blessings of her Heavenly Master.

Now comes a lot of talk of new
party erasing the older political di-
visions on sectional lines, North and
South and Republican and Democrat.
In the past fifty years the old sores
have been healed and there is absO-
lutely no reason for northern man
being a Republican just because the
Southern man is a Democrat, or vice
versa. Advocates of a new party say
there is no more difference between
the two old parties than between
tweedledum and tweedledee. The
heads of these old groups are men
like the recently deceased Boise Pen
rose OF Pennsylvania, who, it is said,
collected hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars from big corporations and
wealthy men for campaign purposes
and never gave an accounting. Sen.
Penrose was said to be personally
honest and too big a man for anyone
to dare ask for an accounting from.
Never the-less he delivered the goods.
The stuff about slavish obedience to
the dear old party" seems little
rank when the curtains swing aside
for a moment and we get glimpse at
the wire pullers behind the scenes.
There are some men who like the
CUFF handed out for rank-and-file con-
sumption, thrive on it and ii dem
ocrat would rather vote for yellow
dog than a republican and, ii repub-
lican hate the democrats with a real
righteous and holy hatred, but these
men give us a tired feeling. They are
very gullible and their minds are full
of fat.

The new party idea broke out SER
iousIy in 1912 with the Progressive
movement headed by Teddy Roosevelt.
It seemed the time was not ripe and
even the mighty Roosevelt influence
could not pull the movement through.
Before the Civil war much the
same condition as now was in evil
dence. The country was divided po-
litically between the Northern Wings
and the Southern Democrats. Along
about 1856 the Republican party arose
and four years later elected pres
ident The old Wing party died and
was buried with appropriate ceremo-
MES.
The advocates of the new party, and
they are many, say that now is the
time for a division along lines SIM
liar to those in European democratic
countries. That is Radical and Con-
sentative. This is a natural and IS
sible division in the United States, ex-
cept for the race question in the
South. Whether or not new party
will arise is a question and interest
ing one.

Shade For Sheep win Return Big,

Plenty of the right kind of
shade for sheep return big divi-
dends, farmers and sheep raisers
say. Only one or two shade
trees in a pasture are worse than
none at all since a place to which
the sheep come day after day
soon becomes hotbed for para
sites, they add. The construct
ion of small shades which can be
moved from place to place is
solving the difficulty for many
Kentucky farmers. A cheap
permanent shade constructed by
setting posts in the ground to
support a roof of boardsis giving
good results on the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station
farm. The only objection found
with the structure was the fact
that the roof let water through
in rainy weather and the resting
place ofthe sheep became muddy.
This fault can be remedied at a
somewhat increased cost by cover
ingthe boards with roofngpaper.
The usefulness of such a shed is
increased by placing it on rum
ners or wheels so that it can be
moved from place to place.

The Schools Again.

The World. Herald, OF Omaha,
Neb., stops long enough from
other things to discuss the large
expenditures that are being made
at public expense for what may
be termed accessible to the pub
lie school system, such as gym
nasiums, swimming pools and
the like, and continues to say a
word or two for the good old
days " when children were made
"strong, brave and, self-reliant
and self. controlled" because of
certain hardships they have to
experience and deprivations they
had to endure during the hours
of schooling.
To begin with. the fact is worth
noting that these 'luxuries" in
cidental to public education, if
that be the proper word to use,
are found nowhere but in the
large cities. Few, indeed, are
the country schools that are
equipped with accessories that
might be termed luxuries. On
the other hand-we say this bold
ly because everyone knows it is
true-we are, in many parts of
America, including hundreds of
school districts in Kentucky, de-
nying to our children a decent
education. Thousands ofcountry
schools houses in America are un-
sanitary. Thousands more are
one room structures, perhaps,
clean and light, but nevertheless
inadequate because an underpaid
girl is trying to teach eight
grades in one room She cannot
teach eight grades in one room.
1t cannot be done well. The ex-
ceptional girl can do better than
the average girl, but not even
the exceptional girl can do her.
self or her pupils justice under
such odds. 1t is necessary,
therefore, to spend large sums
in the country on the country
schools; it is a duty that may not
be shirked: it is a task that can
not be taken up too soon.
Now, when we come to the
large cities, we do find that large
sums of money are spent for
handsome buildings, and, at
times. for Fairgrounds and per-
haps for gymnasiums. We know
not of such frills as swimming
pools for schools in this part of
the country. Are we spending
too much money for education in
the great cities? The Evening
Post not only afirms that we are
not, but maintains that we are
not spending enough. The old
idea was that children were made
brave and strong and self-con-
trolled and self-reliant through a
certain amount of hardship and
deprivation. We wonder if there
ever was much in this. Of
course there have been extraor-
dinary men, and the Omaha paper.

Senator Manson Writes Legisla-
tors Setting Forth Losses Sus-
tanned By State Already

ATLANTA, June 17.-Letters
were sent out today by Senator Frank
Manson, of JonesDoro, representing
the Thirty-fifth district, to all men,
Ders of the House of the Georgia
General Assembly, asking their sup
port for the early passage OF what is
known as the state auditor BILL The
bill, which calls for an audit of every
state department periodically, was
passed by the senate at the last ses-
sion without dissenting voice. The
house, however, failed to take any
action as the rules committee did not
report the bill until the last night Of
the session, when it was placed on
the calendar.
The text of his statement follows:
Members of the General Assembly
of Georgia: During the past five
years financial irregularities in tie
various departments of the state capi-
toll have Appropriated 100000, as
follows:
5 Years ago, one department, $14,-
600.
5 Years ago, one department, ST.
400.
A Years ago, one department, $780,
000 actual loss $4,000
2 Years ago, one department, $5,-
600.
! Year ago, one department, $780,
900. (Actual loss, $14,600.)
/ Year ago, one department, $43,-
600.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture | introduced Senate Bill No.
46 creating the department of state
auditor. | also introduced a general
investigation resolution, asking for
an investigation of every department
of the state government.
The state auditor bill passed the
senate without a dissenting vote, but
the house failed to take any action,
as the rules committee did not report
the bill until the last night of the
session, when it was placed on the
calendar.
REGARD tile SIdCc DIS a COLpOIdIIOll,
with the governor as its chief eXecu-
tive or president, and the members
of the General assembly as its board
of directors. The state spends in
round numbers approximately $12,-
100000 year, not including the
money spent by the State Highway
Department.
| know of no successful corpora
ton or business anywhere in this
country which does not have its books
audited at least annually. No effic-
lent and honest official can object TO
having his department audited once
year. An inefficient and dishonest
official should have his books audited
periodically.
The audit bill is on the house cal
endar and can be acted on early in
the session. | am writing to support
this measure as it now stands.
From the figures l have given you
in the above statement, it is clearly
demonstrated that during five year;
