Poultry Culling Held
At Winthrop Farm

Thursday afternoon a very inter-
esting poultry culling demonstration
was held, to show how to pick the
layers from a flock of hens and pull
let's, at w. T. Adams farm in West

pices of the Poultry Club and was
followed at o'clock by a delicious
chicken pie dinner at the Grange
hall, attended by members of the
club and invited guests. County
Agent Clarence A. Day and Poultry
Expert o. NJ. Weber were guests of
honor and at the meeting, which
followed the dinner, were given a
cordial vote of thanks for their
many kindnesses and their assist
ance.
Both Mr.. Day and Mr.. Wilbur gave
talks full of interest to the poultry
men. Mr.. Day urged that attention
be given the Farm Bureau member
ship drive and outlined the best way
to campaign for members.
Mr.. Wilbur gave statistics of vital
interest to those interested in poul-
try and summarized them in a prac-
teal way to show best type of
house, what feeds produce best re-
suits, what breeds lay best, the eff
fects of replenishing f1ocks with
young stock, when to hatch to get
best results, etc.
Questions were answered and the
meeting proved extremely helpful.

Poultry Club, presided and enter
tainment was furnished by Miss Be-
atrice Adams. who gave a piano solo:
Mrs. Lottfe York, who read 1.-THE

Bark Worse Than Bite

"D AY up, consarn we, every last cent you
owe me, or by cracky, III take it out
of your hide''
To the European public such has seemed
to be the attitude of Uncle Sam in dealing
with his creditors
High officials in Washington have been
pounding the table and laundering to the
world that Europe would have to settle and
settle in full Not even capacity to pay would
be taken into consideration
The result has been to get ourselves very
much disliked abroad. We are everywhere pop
ularly regarded as Shylock, or as a monster
utterly without human feeling coming dollars
out of Europe life-blood.
Moreover, in years to come, every new tax
foreign peoples are made to pay and every
financial difficulty these foreign nations get
into, will be blamed on finty America, no mat
ter what the real cause may be.
And what are the facts: Quietly, unobtrus-
lively, almost as if we were afraid the world
might get onto what we are doing, we are ac-
cepting virtually whatever the debtor nations
want to pay.
Italy owes us today approximately
$3,200,0O0000. We let her off for what
amounts to $500, 900, or % cents on the dollar.
That is to say $52O,OOOOoO in cash today would
be worth every cent we will ultimately receive
from Italy
Similarly we accepted As cents on the dol
lar from Belgium, and about the same amount
from Czechoslovakia Even proud Britain
who, as Editor John st. Loe Strachey of the
London Spectator" says, "is too proud to
default" in anything she has promised to do
or PAYS paying us only the equivalent of 76
cents on the dollar
With France, for some reason or other, we
still keep up the farce. We refused her offer
Of 40 cents on the dollar, but, after advertis
ing the fact for awhile likely enough we will
quietly accept the 40 cents, or less, and lend
her another hundred millions or SO into the
bargain.
Meantime does the world know ANYTHING
OF our generosityf It does not It thinks we
are the old skinfint we ourselves say we are.
1t thinks everybody is being forced to paw I'D
and in full
small matteri To the contrary Nation
al prestige is stupendous asset in this world
and national prestige depends almost ex
clusively on what Others think of u.s.

Political Police

"F VERY policeman is trying to be cap
Il tain,' according to Chief of Police
Herman F. Rikhoff. Why not? Any policeman
who is wise enough to be right politically has
chance of becoming a captain or even an
Inspector His record makes no difference. Pol
itics is the only consideration A man who'has
been discharged from the force might even be-
come an nspector-elect for day or two-until
the mayor-elect changes his mind.
1t is ridiculous to think of efficiency in
connection with a police system where there
Is no such thing as reward for merit and where
the only possibility of reward lies in being in
good with the particular political faction that
happens at the moment to be in authority.
We are told that because Chief of Police
slapped the political policemen on the wrist,
they went right out and boldly made fifty
rests OF these, sixteen persons were charged
with drunkenness and twenty-one with viola
ton of the traffic laws. 1t is presumed that the
other thirteen were bandits or possibly oper-
ators Of gambling houses-if there are any
gambling houses in Indianapolis.
Seriously speaking the situation is not the
fault so much of the policemen themselves
Of the system which makes possible the ap-
pointment Of tailor as chief Of police or
criminal court investigator as head Of the
traffic department, Under civil service regula-
lions these things couldn't happen.

One Dollar a Ballot

FTHE Indianapolis city election, including
last spring primary, will cost city tax
payers $4,000, John E. Ambuhl, deputy city
clerk estimates Almost dollar vote as only
about $4,000 votes were cast in the election Of
mayor.
Was the election worth the money!
Probably so to the successful candidates
though the mayor-elect may wonder as he
slips from hiding place to hiding place while
his principal supporters clamor for pay day. He
may think the days of a mayor are few and
full of trouble.
But 1t was an expensive exhibition Of IN
difference-in which thoughtful citizens can
take little pride.
Only about half Of the registered voters
went to the polls. Disgust with political man.
ipulation, gang rule and just plain indiffer-
ence accounted for most Of the stay-at-homes.
Whats the use, they will count our votes as
they please" was the general attitude
Yet nearly every voter who failed to cast
a ballot in the recent municipal election would
grab musket and start revolution if denied
the right of suffrage. He wants the privileges
but shucks the responsibilities of a sell govern
ing democracy.
Indifference Is the most serious aflment of
popular government Even in Australia. with
compulsory voting law in force, 100000
voters failed to cast ballots in an election

the sort of government the citizenship deserves

months, representatives of the

Very sad, indeed. Perhaps the
public feels like taking up a col

of the Interstate Company.
OF course, the public cannot ex-

benevolent enterprises. But IL
their motor buses are operated at

Interstate Company continue
them? They don't have to run

The Interstate Company owns a
perfectly good traction line which
it's own bus lines parallel and with
which they compete for traffic.

one 1t bought out the independent
bus operators with routes COM

enable It TO run buses at a profit.
Apparently If the bus lines taken

must have been improbable ven

ton company made a bad invest

soul Of the diligent shall be made
fat" 1t may be good to have a fat
pocketbook, but it is better to have a
fat soul. The soul value of work.
therefore, should be of more concern
to us than its pocketbook value.
Work develops mans qualities
and enlarges his manhood. Though
he should fail to accomplish the end
for which he is working, he gains
command over his desires, a discip
line OF thought, a power of patient
application, a steadiness Of will and
purpose. a deeper strength of soul
and wider range of wisdom. And this
is the really true gain. If we would
learn to make this gain an object of
our work, the result would more
than compensate us for any disap
pointment we might suffer as to
other results.

AFTER THE
ACCIDENT

@pRONER PAUL F. ROBIN
SON declared-following
the accident Wednesday in
which a woman was killed and her
husband seriously iEjured-the
crossing at Sixty-Third St. and the
Monon tracks. Broad Ripple. to be
one of the most dangerous in the
city, because Of a jog in the street.
Removal of which he will recon-
mend.
That ought to be good news to
the victim of Wednesdays acct
dent. Only she is dead. Making
the crossing safe now can't change
her status.
The crossing where the tragedy
occurred may or may not be the
most dangerous in Indianapolis.
Probably not, as such an assertion
takes in a good deal Of territory.
There are many other crossings in
the city whose failure to score
fatalities is ire result Of miracle,
not design
But whatever the relative rank
in deadliness of the Broad Ripple
crossing that intersection has re-
manned as is for a long time. 1t
isn't a new born danger. It's lethal
character could have been dis
cerned by the authorities and steps
taken to correct it as easily last
year or the year before as yester-
day, today or tomorrow.
Public authorities never seem to
get very excited about the dangers
of a crossing until after a tragedy
has occurred. Then they hustle.
The system seems to be that a
crossing must claim a victim be-
fore it is worthy of official atten-
ton. That may be sure method
but 1t is rough on the victims.
