Waste
Lafayette Journal and Courier)

Lafayette Journal and Courier)
Alba Allen, Carroll County farmer,
announced that he would give away
his apple crop rather than see the
apples go to waste.
There Is no lack OF demand for
fruit but high prices to the consumer
in cities keep down consumption,
while low prices offered by city middle
men to the producer discourage de-
livery.
AS a result we see immense guam
titles Of good fruit fed to hogs or left
on the ground to rot, while the con-
Stunning public does without the very
things 1t most Graves and most needs.

- In Boston saloon, the Wine and
Strong Water resort owned by Rich.
ard Fairbanks, the first postoffice in
our country was established 2S4 years
ago this month. Dicks letter ex-
change was a free service, his com
pensation coming from the thirst of
his patrons.
Later came postmen, delivering mail
at the rate of six cents mile for each
letter. Wise Ben Franklin in 1875 ne
gotiated the transfer Of the postoffice
from private to Government owner
ship. If mails still were handled by
private corporations, any one sug-
costing that a letter should be carried
across the continent for two cents
would be an "agitator."

coffeepot she owns which Is said to
have been used by Martha Washing

Borah States Truth

Senator Borah says that the American
people are the most heavily taxed on the
face of the earth. It is the object of the
internationalists to convey just the oppo-
site impression by reciting the compare
tive debts and the comparative debt
charges of the United States and European
countries. There is little doubt that the
United States suffered greater loss in
wealth from the world war than any other
of the principal allied countries. 1t is also
true that this nation is making a more de-
termined effort to retrieve the losses of
that period than any of its associates in the
war; When deprecated currencies and
other factors are considered, it is probable
that Senator Borah has not exaggerated
the facts.

Wells Agrees With Senate

"Flimsy sentimentalities and mere GEES
lures of peace" declares H. G. Wells, "are
a danger rather than security between
countries with opposing interests. 1t is
because of my sense of the necessity of
roofing peace deeply that l criticize and
demand a fundamental reconstruction of
the league of nations" That opinion CO.
incides with the decision reached by the
senate when it rejected the league COW
enant. 1t was the judgment of Republican
senator's that the league was an influence
for war rather than peace, and experience
has shown that where the league has ex-
erted any influence at all it has been in
that direction. Peace among nations is an
ideal worth striving toward, but if the
league is to aid in the struggle it must be
rebuilt along entirely different lines

Radio Educates the People

The educational value of the radio to
families in their homes and on the farms
is becoming more fully appreciated. From
one western broadcasting station people
in Ia cities and towns, and thousands in
farm homes in the country, enjoy daily en-
tertainment. Lectures from great educa-
tional centers scattered over thirty-one
states are heard from one superstition.
A family in Ferndale, California, hears
concerts from Portland, Oregon, and farm
ers at Livingstone, Montana, enjoy con-
certs from Des Moines, Iowa. The pleas
ure that whole family gets from nation
wide music and lectures is intensified by
the fact that they have been deprived of
these things until the discovery Of the
radio.

"Blue Sky" Again

The Denison "blue-sky" measure will be
the subject of further debate during the
6Sth congress. However, there appears to
be no disposition on the part of the pro-
ponents of the measure to remedy its glar-
ing defects, which would injure legitimate
business, and therefore the likelihood of
its early passage is small. 1t is deemed
to be poor policy to shave necessary gov
ernmental expenses in one direction and
add unnecessary expenses in another by
the creation of new tax-spending agencies.

Rules For Golfers

While golf for some years has enjoyed
the reputation of providing crutch to the
failing, and healthy sport to the young, it
now develops that golf has peculiar and
sinister dangers of its own. No one who
studies portrait of the ancient Mr.. Rookie
Teller in the throes of golf can visualize in
his driver a weapon of self-destruction.
But the Ohio state board of health is cred
tied now with discovering malign possibili-
ties that infest the links.
1t has, therefore, issued set of rules for
golfers, particularly older players, warn
ing them among other things against walk
ing too rapidly, playing on billy courses,
playing while dizzy, giving way to temper,
exposure to drafts and cold winds and
playing in the rain.
While these rules apparently are limited
in appeal to gentlemen with one foot in the
grave they have engaging aspects for all.
The warning against playing while dizzy
is excellent humor if it is intentional, and
even better if it is not.
A golfer who doesn't know enough to
come in out of the wet and must be pro-
tected from drafts by state documents is
too hopeless to warrant official aid in any
event. Denied the dangers of golf he
would doubtless succeed in drowning in a
tub or coming to some other ingenious end
not covered by board of health literature.

Check Up on Other Side

The situation at the New York immigra-
ton station the early part of November
was a disgrace and scandal, not reflect
ing on this country or its laws but upon
other nations and the steamship COM
panies. AS an act of humanity hundreds
of immigrants were taken off of the ships
to Ellis Island pending determination as
to their admissibility. Most of the yearly
quotas from Europe were exhausted by
the November flood, and immigration from
those nations must completely cease for
the rest of the year. The obvious remedy
is inspection at the ports of embarkation.
That and other improvements in our i'm
migration law will be considered by con-
gress.

The Message

Apparently President Coolidge, like
General Grant, will fight out campaign
along the line he believes is right. His
message is simple and straightforward. In
his discussion of national issues he con-
siders the public interest ahead of his per-
sonal political ambitions
He caters to no class to secure votes.
He adopts Secretary Melons plan for tax
reduction with unqualified approval. He
does not sidestep the bonus issue, to which
he is opposed, but he advocates adequate
and generous treatment for disabled for
mer service men. He favors world court
with reservations clearly indicating our
refusal to adhere to the League of Ma
tions" He discusses tariff, railroad and
prohibition questions without evasion and
does not straddle on any issue.
He makes direct appeal for the farmer
and suggests remedies for his troubles. He
would limit immigration and inspect it at
its source. By constitutional amendment
he would prohibit further issuance OF tax
exempt bonds He would dispose of the
Muscle Shoals project and instead of max
ing the compensation the government re-
ceives from it the paramount issue, he
would have adequate covenants in the
lease or sale that the parties getting the
property shall carry to successful con-
clusion experiments to produce low-priced
nitrates for the direct benefit of farmers.
In writing his message, President Cool
idge seemed to be considering all the
people, not any one class or any one
political party. His courage in stating his
convictions appeals to every fair-minded
man regardless of politics.
