proper bonus bill should do.
There is only one moral justifica-
ton for a national soldiers bonus,
and that is to adjust, in partial
way. the unfair compensation of
those who served in the armed
forces of the nation during the late
war. If we admit that we owe the
ex-service men such an adjustment
of their compensation, then we GER
tainly owe it to them in cash. we
ought to give them the option of
cash, if they prefer it to life lnsur-
ance.
The inconsistency of the present
bill is shown by the fact that it will
cost very much more than cash
bonus. 1t will require another big
government bureau to administer 1t,
with more thousands of employees
and millions of additional govern
ment expense. 1t will fail to satisfy
the soldiers. 1t does not deal justly

Justice demands a real bonus blll,-
now. 1t is already long overdue.
The present bill was brought in
by the Republican managers of the
house under a gag rule that pro-
hibited amendments and limited de-
bate to only forty minutes. The
real friends of the soldiers bonus
were forced to vote for this unsatis-
factory bill or run the risk of get
ting nothing. In the hope that this
bill would be properly amended IN
the senate, many members OF the
house, like myself, voted for it un-
der protest and stand ready and de-
termined to support any proper SEN
ate amendments that will really do
Justice to the eX-service men OF
America.

The Last Day OF School

Did you stand on the platform in
a little country school house and
make your first attempt at speak
ing pieces by stammering out:
You'd scarce expect one of my age
To appear in public on the stage"
or,
Many fishes in a brock
Daddy catch 'em with hook?"
1t was the last day of school and
mothers, fathers, and friends had
come to hear the dialogues and reel
tations in which - oacher had SO
carefully trained TIE lldren. You
were one of the youngest and made
your initial bow with the same clas-
sic half dozen lines that most begin
ners used. After the ''speakin' "
was over you and your schoolmates
told the teacher goodbye and went
home fer the long summer vacation.
The last day of school celebration IS
a good old American institution that
ought not to be Abandoned. 1t was
an expression Of good will and
neighborliness, community gather
ing very much worth while. Of
course it can be made somewhat
different now. None Of us older
folk care to say that it can be made
bctter.) 1t is SO easy to hop into
the auto and run over to the school
house for that last afternoon. School
work is different; the children have
more poems, games, dialogues, mu-
sic, and drawings to show their eld-
ers and they meet grown folk more
naturally. The teacher is not under
the strain Of making a show time of
il but can have a school ''at home"

The Village Physician

During recent weeks the physl-
clan in one of the small places in
southern Ohio has been sick, in bed,
unable to respond to the call from
| his patients. This physician was
born in the little town, has lived in
no other place, has been the one
| physician there for a score of years.
In the small town, and in the hill
country all about, everybody knows
him, has confidence in his skill and
knows his friendship. Never a
strong man, he has found his task
heavy, but he loved the work, loved
! his friends and stuck to the job. By
| day and night he answered the calls
that came and they were many. 1t
mattered not where the call came
from, he answered He drove a
hill-climbing and mudfghting car
Some weeks ago a call came from a
home on dirt road in the hills.
Much rain had fallen, no car could
make the hills. He travelled some
miles on foot when the car could go
no farther, a heavy rain was falling,
he was tired and worn, and pneu-
monia was his reward. The COM
munity had the unwelcome exper-
fence of being unable to call for DR..
Theodore and have him make quick
response.
Sickness must come to the ply
sician in the small town, he must
be unable to make calls, the COM
munity must be forced to get along
without him, before the public unr
derstands and appreciates the very
large place he fills in the commun-
ity and how much the people depend
on him. Under ordinary circum-
stances he would come, they had
full faith in him; now another, a
stranger made response They did
not know him, could not have the
same confidence in his ability, and
they were lonely.
The public does not appreciate
how heavy is the task they put on
the general practitioner He cannot
have regular office hours, he cannot
decline to go when his good friends
call and, under those conditions, he
can have no regular hours of rest,
he cannot take care of himself as he
should. The custom in the small
place is to go when called. 1t would
be difficult to change that custom.
Friends would not understand it.,
because many friends are not
thoughtful of the doctors welfare
and comfort. He makes the jour

Flood Seemed Big
Was Before, 1918


The Democrat is in receipt of a
copy Of "The DemocratLEXtra'
which was put out Feb. Is, 1884,
the time of one of the big floods.
The paper was sent us by Mrs. Lizzie
Browning Elliott from Victoria, Tex.
Mrs. Elliott was leaving there April
3 for Tulsa, Okla, where she is to
make her home. She found the lit
tie paper mentioned, in looking over
the papers of her mother Mrs. Bet
/ tie Fouts Browning. The paper had
| been sent to the latter by her uncle,
| the late A. l.. Miller of Malta. AT
the bottom of the page Mr.. Miller
| had written: Malta was first to
reach Marietta with provisions for
sufferers. Jesse Timms, VIM. Rich
ardson, Frank Miller and Frank
Bell went from here to Marietta on
the 18th, with two skiffs loaded
with 1900 lbs. cooked hams and
shoulders, and 1900 lbs. bread. NAL

ions were bought with part of it,

We quote from "The Democrat
Extra" as follows:
1883 was remarkable year for
high waters in the Western and
Southern states. The Ohio made a
record at Cincinnati of sc feet and
four inches, eclipsing all previous
records. The Mississippi from Cairo
to the gulf carried with it death and
immense destruction of property.
Our own Muskingum lacked only
about three feet of coming up to the
ever memorable mark OIL 1860. 1t
seemed then that nature would GER
| tainly rest awhile, and that for a
few years at least, we might reason
ably expect a fair immunity from
such disastrous visitations. Con-
trary to these expectations it has re-
NAMED for 1884 to appropriately
claim and wear the title OF the great
flood year. AS stated in our issue of
last week, a portion of the ice at this
point moved out on Saturday after
noon, Feb. 2. The main body start
ed about II O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing the 5th inst. All day immense
fields of ice passed down the river,
which was even then swollen to a
respectable height. Still very few
persons thought we were going to
have a flood, everyone expected to
have high water, but thought 1t
would not exceed that of '83. On
Wednesday morning, the 9th, how
ever, the river commenced rising
with a rapidity that convinced the
most skeptical that the Muskingum
meant business, and it was time to
make preparations for the ineyi-
table. Cellars were hastily emptied
of their contents, and those living
along the river banks began moving
to the second story or making prep
arations to leave their homes al
together When the rise stopped at
3 O'Clock Saturday morning the
gauge showed % inches above the
mark of 80, and there was nearly
feet of water on Center street near
the approach of the bridge"

HIS JOB

THE little cab driver who used to
l. come for me when, on rainy days,
took a taxi to save myself from the
inclement weather was cheerful soul.
He was always careful, always cour-
teous, always on time, always con-
siderate of my comfort. He met me
late one especially stormy night when
the thermometer was down and the
wind was cutting like razor through
the heaviest garments.
Don't you get sick and tired of
this dogs life?" / asked as he tucked
me snugly into the back seat.
"Oh, no. he replied smiling, "you
see, it's my job"
The memory Of his cheerful face and
his suggestive words has helped me
often since. When the days have been
long, and the callers irritating and the
problems difficult to solve, when
might have grown discouraged over
the honest effort which resulted only
in failure, have tried to take 1t cheer
fully because 1t was my job.
don't know what your job is, for
the problem OF no two men In this
world is quite the same. 1t may be
getting to class regularly every day,
or keeping up your college work while
you earn a precarious living. 1t may
be pursuing difficult study or teach
Ing a stupid class that you do not en-
Joy, or leading a clean life when a
thousand passions are urging you on to
the rocks. 1t may be fighting home
sickness or encouragement or de-
spondency or moral temptations or
mental lethargy. / don't know what
it is, but you do.
Very likely yours is not an easy
Job. or at all times a pleasant one, and
there will be all sorts of temptations
to slight 1t, to evade it's responsible
ties, to put off its unpleasant, disagree
able features. to complain because 1t
is more CALLING and exacting than 9TH
er mems jobs. Usually, If we could
only know we should discover that
every job has it's difficulties.
No matter how difficult your Job is,
you will find 1t half done If, when 1t
presents itself, you go at 1t cheerfully,
energetically. The work that is taken
up with determination and enthusiasm
loses half its difficulty. And the best
part of it all is that, having done one
job well, you are getting yourself ready
for another 1t is an old, tried proverb
that nothing so succeeds as success ;
nothing so strengthens us as doing
some difficult task well.

Merchants Interested
in Legion Indoor Fair

How far the generosity of local
merchants went toward the American
Legion in Geneva, N. T., may be seen
by the fact that donations for the
annual indoor fair were insured for
$4,000. Every one Of these dona-
lions was given to the Legion for
distribution during the eight days Of
the event, and to be on the safe side,
post officials insured them against loss
by fire for the big amount. The fair
was held in interest of a building fund
of the Legion, the original goal of
which was $4,000, but which was
raised because of the excellent re-
ceipts of the event.
