wife, Judge A. B. Anderson, of the
Federal District Court, recently
sentenced Everett e. Foster, SO, of
Worthington, Ind, a pension at
torney, to long term in Jail, i'm
posing heavy fine in addition.
Foster prepared certain papers
for Benjamin II. Neill, formerly a
private in the Supply Company,
112th Infantry. According to the
provisions of the War Risk Insur-
ance Act, the maximum fee for
such papers was So, but the attor-
ney charged $25. The former soldier
died, and his wife, as administrative,
had Foster prepare more papers
for which he charged her SIS.
Foster refunded the excess charged
for execution of the papers but
Judge Anderson, in further protect
ing the ex-service men, refused to
accept this as sufficient and as
sessed fine of $500 and sentenced
the man to six months prison term.
Several years ago, Foster appeared
in Indiana courts before Judge
Francis Baker to answer charges
of mulcting Civil War veteran

The following is from "The Manu-

with it?
"If there is anything in your
town worth talking about, 10 chances
to one your own newspapers had a
hand in putting it there. If any
body beyond the walls of your burg
ever learns that there is such a
place as Three Corners it will be
thru the home paper.
Every town gets its moneys worth
thru the home newspapers. It's the

it, paint it and keep its running

Monies specialists at the college of
agriculture are holding a series of
free countrywide lectures throughout
the state, and using two reel film
entitled "Foot Follies" to demon
strate the value of saner shoes and
filter feet.
1t is being shown by these spe-
cialists that in addition to washing
the feet regularly, and rubbing them
briskly to remove dead skin, they
should be dried acknowledgement
ally between the toes. After that
"a simple powder or an emollient
should be used, depending on
whether the feet are over oily or
over dry.
The Importance of toeing straight
ahead and bringing all muscles into
play is also being stressed. The
film shows exercises useful in re-
storing limberness and strength to
the foot and toes.
The lecturers are recommending
shoes with straight inner line,
flexible shank, plenty of toe room,
and low, flat heel
Their final recommendation is to
keep the body at normal weight. As
they express it, Don't require a SO
foot to support 160 pound body"

LET CHARITY BEGIN AT HOME

The recent appeal of the Veterans
Bureau to give employment to the
10000 rehabilitated ex-service men
forces me to agree with the follow
ing sensible statement:
Some selfish manufacturers want
big labor reserve, to draw on at
infrequent times Of need, just as
they maintain stock of spare
parts, says William r. Basset, in
dustrial engineer and member of
Hoover's Committee which investi-
gated waste in various industries.
1--WE have, right now, plenty of
workers in this country to take care
of the legitimate need for unskilled
help Cheap labor is needed only by
those who are not skilful enough
to manufacture at low cost and still
pay high wages.
with the help of labor saving
equipment, skilful manufacturers
turn out more product per man en-
ployed than they did before the
war. If the unprogressive ones
would adopt the methods and ma
chimes now available they would not
need cheap labor We could cut
, off all immigration for years and
not suffer in business way. High
wages, paid to men who operate
labor-saving equipment under COM
petent managership, does more to
stimulate business than do low
wages paid to million men who
can be employed only part of the
time"
First, give our own veterans jobs
before flooding the country with
foreign labor, Let charity begin at
home.

WOODFILL, WAR HERO,
RETIRES WITH HONORS

Sergeant Samuel Woodfill, named
by General Pershing as the out
standing hero of the World War,
will retire from the army this month
after thirty-three years service, in
the highest non-commissioned
grade, through the voluntary action
of three of his seniors in rank.
Promotion of the hero to the
rank Of master sergeant was made
possible, according to reports to
the War Department, through the
sacrifice of grades held by Ser
geant- Major Sewell, Sergeant Nc
Laughlin and Sergeant Acker, who
offered to accept demotion that
their comrade might be promoted
and retired in the highest non
commissioned rank.

WAGE FARMERS ALWAYS
PROSPER UNDER RULE OF
REPUBLICAN PARTY

(By John T. Adams, Chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
in the Neational Republican,
In the summer of 1920 the employ
ment problem became critical It's
seriousness increased until by March,
| 1921, official estimates placed the
number of unemployed in this coun-
try at 100000. This was one of
the legacies left the Republican par
| ty by the outgoing Democratic ad-
ministration.
Today there are few men out of
work. Labor of all kinds is in de-
mand at good wages. This record
of changing the labor situation
from one of idleness to one of prof
table employment speaks for itself
This remarkable improvement has
not been accidental Neither has it
been brought about by class legis-
lation or appeals to class prejudice.
1t is largely due to the cumulative
been brought about by class legis-
effects of the policies of the Repub-
lican party during the last thirty
months.
By an immigration act the Repub-
lican party restricted the inpouring
of flood of competitive foreign
labor at a time when its influx
would have aggravated a situation
already critical.
By helping agriculture, the Re-
publican party brought back into
the market the buying power of the
farmer, who consumes 30 per cent
of our industrial products.
By protective tariff it restricted
the imports of products of cheap
foreign labor.
1t reduced federal taxes, which
weighed heaviest upon the wage
earners. 1t drastically cut expenses
of the government which, in the
last analysis, are paid by the wage
earners.
1t enacted long list of laws
favored by labor interests. The re-
port of the proceedings of the 42nd
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor contains a
statement showing the Republican
Congress enacted II laws which that
organization classified as favorable
to labor. Nowhere in the report is
there any charge that the Republican
party enacted single law detrimen-
tai to the interests of the wage earn
ers.
This is consistent with the record
of the Republican party during the
last half century. Practically all
laws which have been enacted from
time to time for the betterment of
working conditions and the protec-
ton of the wage Garner, particularly
the woman and child in industry,
have been put on the books by the
Republican party.
To the fundamental policy of the
Republican party, that of the pro-
tective tariff, is mainly due the fact
that the standard of living and level
of wages in this country are incom-
parably higher than in any other
nation in the world.
The wage earners of the United
States comprise the overwhelming
majority of the people. Their in
terests are best served by the Re-
publican party, because it legislates
not for classes but along fundamen-
tai, national, constructive lines that
work for the welfare of all citizens.

The use of small amount of vivid
color to relieve an otherwise neutral
color scheme is one of the cleverest
effects achieved by the modern decor
ator. Take, for example, this dining
room, furnished In oak, with the new
silver-gray rubbed finish. A lovely
wicker tray, decorated with orange
peoples on black background hangs
over the buffet. Two urns Of iri-
descent glass, shading from pale yell
low to deep orange, decorate the buff
fet top. The draperies are of gray
shantung. lined with orange. Japan
csc grass cloth In gray shade, with
just suggestion of orange, covers
the walls, and two-toned rug Of
gray completes the picture.

A bitter night to take your leave
Into the great unknown,
When even nature seems to grieve
In the voice of the winds low moan;
And the ceaseless beating of the

Seems bitter, binding tears
That find no surcease from the

OF countless empty years.
A dreary day to take your leave
Into the vast unknown.
And drearier still to miss you here
In the treadmill's endless grind;
Where carking care and frowning

Are spectres of the mind
For you have been a steadfast

A friend in time of need;
And even at the journeys end
Your last was kindly deed
All, drearier still to miss you here
In the treadmill's endless grind.

FLOGCING CASE
FAULT DENIED
BY JUDGE
Never Drunk During Term OF
Office, Willis Tells Peonage
Probers.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May A.
That he used to be a drinking man
and that he occasionally takes a
drink now, but that he had not
been drunk since taking office as
county Judge four years ago, was
the defense of Benjamin Franklin
Willis before the Senate, committee
acting on Governor Hardee's recon-
mendation that Willis be removed.
Governor Hartlee charged malfeas'
ance in office had been proved ny
the testimony before the peon6ge
probe committee of Willis intoxlc9-
ton and his alleged collision with
former Sheriff j. r. Jones to rall-
road petty offenders into temporary
slavery in leased convict camps.
Resumption of the Willis defense
testimony is scheduled for Tuesday,
after the committees adjournment
late last night.
Willis was on the stand an hour
while the damning evidence of the
peonage probe was reviewed. he
denied every charge except that he
drank and in each case assigned
some personal grievance as the
reason for the testimony against
him.
Willis admitted he had heard the
verbal agreement between ex-Sherift
Jones and Superintendent Fisher OF
the Putnam Lumber Company
whereby Jones was to receive $50
q head for prisoners for transport
ing them to the company's camp at
Perry, but declared he had no part
in it and did not profit by it.
State and county officials testified
in Willis behalf, admitting they
had smelled liquor on his breath,
and seen him when he appeared to
be under its influence, but they had
never seen him drunk, nor in a
condition where his drinking seemed
to interfere with his judicial duties.
