Query and
Answer
The Soldiers Rnnms

3
were paid from SIS to $25 a day and
upwards Out of the soldiers $50
came $3.50 insurance and often SIS
for dependents, leaving him $3.50 a
month for himself. 1t is claimed also
! that the soldiers came home and
found the government paying manu-
facturers billions for war contracts
terminated by the armistice, bonuses
| of $240 year paid to 10000 civil ser
vice employees and still paying them.
Railroads being paid nearly two bill
lions for loss compensation during the
war Congress gave the veteran six
ty dollars. From this he was expected
to buy a new suit of "civies'', pay off
war debts accumulated by his family
and pay food and rent bills while out
hunting a job. This is the soldiers
side OF it.
Is Joe Bennett "Wet?"
Question-Is Joe Bennett q "Wet?"
Answer-As far as we know in a
personal way, Mr.. Bennett is "Dry."

judged, not by what he says but by
what he does Since the country went
"dry" Mr.. Bennett has consistently
declined t. handle liquor even though
as q druggist he might have legally
done so and profited greatly thereby.

Should Wife Ask Hubby's Permis-
sion 10 Bob Her Hairl
uestion-ShOuld wife ask her
husbands permission to bob her hair?
! Is this a foolish question?
AnsWer-Replying backwards, not
foolish at ALL Your question strikes
at the heart of harmonious marriage
relations. We do not think wife
should have to ask her husband how
to wear her hair any more than a hus-
band should have his wife's permits
sion If he wants to wear a touDe, a
| beard or a m0ustache. Married per-
sons are equals and each has personal
rights the other should respect. One
does not sell oneself into Egypt
when they marry. On the other hand
the husband wants his wife to look
we'll and the wife as rule wants to
look pleasing in the sight of the hus-
band. Therefore a little conference
does no harm
Union OF Christian Churches
QuestiOn-Do you think the Roman
and Protestant branches of the
Christian church will ever get to-
gether?
/ Answer-We do When, is a matter
FOR conjecture However, we note
that for the period of June 80 to July
II representatives Of the Roman Ca
tholic and Episcopal churches includ-
ing other Christian denominations will
meet at Madison to confer on church
work in rural communities. That the
Christian bodies can bury their diff
ferenCes and meet in conference over
a useful purpose speaks well for CO.
alitiOn of Christian church work. The
problems to be discussed at the Mad
ison conference include community
life, rural sociology, community re-
creation, boys work, community ser
vice, health programs and agricultur-
al subjects. Very apparently the pur-
pose is to connect the Christian
church with all activities Of human
life and this purpose is Individually
noble one
Why We Use Small Type
QuestiOn-Why does the Herald use
small type at times?
Answer-We use small type in GER
tain cases in an effort to take care of
all the news and other matter coming
to us for publication. While the read
ing face is smaller the amount of
ICLJNt4llS AlitlLLCI ID lAitlAll CctbC4. AAC
ever, our conclusion is that it may be
better not to use too much small type
and in the future we will use it only
in special cases, long articles, etc.
Not in the main news.
Il the Situation in Germany Better!
Question is the situation in
Germany at present? Is it better?
Answer-Foreign dispatches indi-
cate that German conditions are inn
proving, slowly but surely. The main
cause FOR Improvement is the stabili-
cation Of currency which has resulted
in confidence on the part Of the peo-
pie With the mark falling a work
mans wages vanished before he could
spend them At present "gOld"
mark, that is currency having gold
basis, is being used. As a result our
dollars, so popular for several years,
are now being refused, the people
proierring their own guaranteed
money. Things had to go so far in
Germany before they could improve.
From now on conditions should grad
ually grow better.

Should We Recognize the Soviet!
Question-Dont you think it wrong
for our government to recognize
murderous government like the Rus
sian soviet?
Answer-We never knew that our
government refused to recognize other
governments because they were wick
ed. We recognized the autocratic and
Notwithstanding car regime in Russia,
the rotten old Turkish government,
similar autocratic government under
Diaz in Mexico and others of the type.
In fact our policy is to recognize gov
ernsments because they are stable
rather than good We have to take
the world as it is and reform it by
example The problem of recognition
is economic rather than moral. On
the other hand we think socialistic
government like Russia is more likely
to become democratized when barriers
do not exist and ideas exchange freely
over the world. We favor recognition
of the Russian government. Russia,
our traditional friend, now wants free
speech and free press, free schools
