NEW STANDARDS OF GOVERN
MENT

AS the American people ponder
and weigh the statements and ideas
offered by Herbert Hoover in his
various utterances, they must be i'm
pressed by the idea that he repre-
sents a movement to place the gov
ernment of this country on far
higher standard than ever before.
1t has been the fault of politics in
this country, that it has accepted a
lot of incompetence. In spite of the
intelligence of the American people,
they fail to give due attention to
politics, consequently they get a lot
of things put over on them. A great
many people obtain public positions
who are not fitted to hold them. AS
result great deal of poor work
has been done in the public services
of the country, the states and muni-
cipal governments.
Mr. Hoover comes before the peo-
pie as probably the worlds greatest
efficiency engineer. 1t has been his
job to take business organizations
and make them work with perfect
system and effectiveness. He has a
genius for improving systems of
human effort. He eliminates waste,
he removes friction, he promotes CO.
operation.
When he gives his attention to
any situation in business or indus
try, he straightens out it's kinks,
makes it operate better, produces
more results. 1t will be a marvel
lous thing for the country if we can
put this man at the head of the gov
ernment and give him full power to
stop the losses and wastes and mis-
takes of our industry.
Yet we find that while he has this
marvellous gift for organization, he
is full of enthusiasm for human bet
He has a passion for So
cial service. If elected, he will
throw himself with his whole heart
into the problem of producing better
living, business, educational and So
,ial conditions for the American
people. His administration ought to
mark great advance in human
Welfare.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, SEPT. 21, 1926
THE YEAR OF STUDY

The school and college students of
Milford have begun one more year
of work. 1t is a big date in their
calendar. 1t is a wide open door of
opportunity. The future of a youth
is usually either made or broken in
the school days.
The young people do not take up
school as reluctantly as in former
days. Instead of the dry as dust les
sons of former years, the tasks are
made interesting. Teachers are
trained to make them seem vital to
young people. AS a result the stu
dents do not rebel from them nearly
as much as formerly. The belief is
commonly held among the students
that lessons should be studied and
learned, which is a great help.
But the problem of distractions
and counter interests comes up. The
student may enter school with the
full purpose to learn, and the con-
victiOn that he should learn. But a
hundred things come up to inter-
fere. There are the excitements of
athletics, the fun of social life, the
dances, the shows, the entertain
ments. Modern youth has infinite
opportunities to have a good time.
Before the first term is half over.
the original purpose is too often
forgotten. The student may be so
engrossed with the fun of life that
all his resolutions of study have |
evaporated, and too many of them
simply go through the motions, un-
til some sharp warning comes that
on that basis they are headed for
trouble.
The student needs to realize clear
ly that the loss of the good results
from the years of study leaves gaps
that will probably never be filled.
One may learn a great deal from
study after leaving school. But as a
rule the people who leave school
without learning the lessons they
should learn, have suffered a per-
manent loss, which will never be
made up.
These are golden days of oppor-
tunity. They never return.

THE HAVE-YOUR-OWN-WAY
IDEA

The idea of people who are deter
mined to have their own way, re-
gardless of consequences, accounts
for lot of trouble in the world,
personal and national.
The misbehavior of children most
ly comes from this spirit. A large
element of these youngsters cannot
brook the idea of any interference
with their wills. They are wild
young colts that can not be broken.
So instead of settling down into
the sober harness of industry, they
kick up their heels and bolt for the
hills. When they get thoroughly
hungry, they will come back. But
they often suffer serious injuries
before. they come, and sometimes
they are too proud to come at all.
The same spirit makes most of
the trouble with the marital rela-
tion. A lot of these young folks are
determined on their own way, and
they can not conceive the idea that
they have to make sacrifices and adj
justments in the married state.
They miss the chance to form a life
long happy relation, and their matri-
monial venture goes to wreck with
painful consequences.
In the political field, the polite
lans are skilful enough to realize
that few people get their own way
in this world. 1t takes compromise
and adjustment. So they make the
compromises that will
win a majority vote, and they get
elected.
But in the international field, the
have your own way" idea, is still
very powerful. A lot of people go
staggering around, boasting in the
power and glory of their country,
md insisting that it settle all ques-
ions without yielding or compro-
Mise, and decide disputes between
tself and it's neighbors to suit it.
self. 1t is that spirit that makes
vars. No nation can have it's own
way in everything, any more than
IN individual can. The nations that
ant learn that lesson are PROSTATE
oday from wars.

A LESSON FROM POLITICS

Business men can learn much
from the results obtained by the
politicians. For instance, take the
methods by which the politicians get
out the vote at elections. Suppose
that the national conventions had
simply met, nominated their candi-
dates, adopted their platforms, and
then adjourned. Suppose that no
committees had gone to work to
arouse interest in the campaign,
that no rallies had been held, no
radio talks given, no political NOV
les shown, no publicity inserted in
the newspapers. Suppose the cam
paign had simply been put up to the
voters without further agitation.
What would have happened?
1t seems probable that the vote
would not be half what it will be
next November. 1t would probably
be very much less than half. The
politicians have to carry on pro-
longed and exciting campaign, in
order to wake the voters up and
arouse their attention.
The same principle applies in the
business world. The politicians
who should do nothing to arouse the
voters, are much like the business
man who takes no active steps to
draw in trade.
Just as the election vote would
probably fall off from a half to two
thirds or three-quarters, without
some form of agitation, so business
is likely to fall that much short of
what it might be, if there is no ac-
tive pushing and advertising of it.
Attention has to be aroused to
win any considerable support for
any effort, whether it is getting
votes for a candidate for office, or
getting customers for a business.
The politicical campaign which
arouses the voters wins at the polls,
and the business that attracts the
attention of the people through adj
vertising wins success.

WOMEN VOTERS INTERESTED
People who have travelled around
considerably this summer tell us
that they have heard a good deal of
political discussion among women.
When the women get together at the
hotels, they seem just as likely to
get to talking politics as the men.
If that is the case, the women will
vote as intelligently as the men.
Where political subjects are discus
sed, where people compare views,
and report and comment on the
things they have heard, there you
find people getting interested in
politics and getting ready to vote in

Canada Wheat Pool
Realizes $1.4O Per Bushel

Final payments on the 1926 Cana

show an average pool return of SLIP

Overhead costs of the Saskatchewan
wheat pool for 1926-27 season totaled
AS cents, or little less than half a
cent per bushel. Carrying charges on
wheat in the country elevators totaled

per bushel
The Saskatchewan pool handled a
total of 119,487, 537 bushels of wheat
amounting to 81 per cent of the pro-

School Strike Led by 'Wobbly'
Girl Is Successfully Arbitrated


Frederick, Colo, Jan. "a
school strike patterned after the
Colorado |. w. w. coal strike,
was agitated, carried out and sue
cessfully arbitrated here Monday.
Between IS and 100 pupils, be-
tween the ages of 6 and Is were
reinstated following their expul-
sion for taking part in a demon
Stration staged after they had
been called from the school yard
by Annie RiskOlski, 16, the leader
of the strike.
Annie Risk0lslxi was moved to
her strike activities when her
brother, James, 10, had a fistic
encounter with another school boy
over a disagreement on the labor
situation in the northern Colorado
coal fields. and was suspended
from school by Paul Nicholson,
superintendent of the Frederick
public schools. Annie, angered
by her brothers punishment,
went to the superintendent Of

and was herself suspended for
her action.

PLANNED BUYING
And SAVING SOLVES
THRIFT PROBLEM

Thrift is a recognized virtue but
no two people have the same way OF
practicing it." remarked Mr.. Gilbert
Lee, manager Of the J. c. Penney
Company store today.
"MOst of US have our pet ecOno-
mics and our pet eXtravagances.
Sometimes the two balance one anOth-
er. Haphazard saving brings slight
return for the self denial represent
ed Just as haphazard spending brings
small money return for the money
invested.
"The dictionary defines thrift as
care and wisdom in the management
of ones resources. The amount OF
of careful judgment a man eX-
ercises in his expenditures has almost
as much to do with determining ms
standard of living and the size of his
bank account as has has earning ca
Dacitv. It is not what a man pays
for necessities that keeps him poor.
It is what he lets slip through his
fingers for foolish purchases, over
charges or payment for services he
neither needs or wants.
'In the year 1876, Benjamin Frank
lin wrote in his Necessary Hints to
Those Who Would Be Rich, In buy
ing goods it is best to pay ready
money, because he that sells upon
credit expects to lose five percent
by bad debts; therefore he charges
on all he sells on credit an advance
that shall make up that deficiency
"This is as true in 1928 as it was
in 1916. A recent report of the Ma
tional Thrift committee states, we
(the American people, spent in the
year 1926, 8 billion dollars on install
ment buying alone, and it probably
cost US another billion for the privil-
ege of using this form of cheap credit
Thrifty buying means getting ones
moneys worth in service and salts
fastion for every dollar or fraction OF
a dollar spent. Every article bought
which does not either serve useful
purpose or contribute to ones en-
joyment over a reasonable period Of
time, represents a loss.

thing to 90. Stick to him! For while
to some people he may seem like a
poor prize for which to fight-if you
love him, there isn't any bigger re-
ward-and no matter how hard the
tight may be, you will consider the
struggle we'll worth while if you are
successful.
The problem Of handling the other
woman has been written about and
advised upon by hundreds of people
but the solution of how to handle a
wandering mate, in the last analysis,
is up to the wife who knows better
any one else her husbands pride and
his weaknesses.
Some women have cured their hus-
bands Of their infatuation by throw
ing them into constant companionship
with the "Other woman. They invite
her to their homes and virtually en-
courage the affair, until the man be-
comes so ted up with the other wo-
mans society that he is glad to cry
quits"
With some men tears and please are
the worst attempt that can be made
Other men can resist anything but
tears.
An attitude Of indifference some
times brings man to his senses, but
it takes woman of tremendous will
power to wear a mask over an aching
heart.
Threats to leave him might serve
in some cases, and in others it may
have no influence at all. An actua
packing up to go, with mind full!
made up to leave has convinced man!
men that the game isn't worth tn,
while. Again, completely ignoring
the cause of their unhappiness as if i
never existed has resulted in man,
women winning back their prodiga
mate.
If your husband is nothing worse a
heart than a philanderer, you hav
nothing much to worry about, becaus
sooner or later his interest in tn
other woman will wane.
In the meantime, don't become dis
couraged, for you aren't the first
nor are you the last-woman who ha
had the other woman to battle. Count
less wives have gone through the e1
perience land if you remain cool an
sane-if you handle the difficult ma
ter in tactful and diplomatic manne
it is ten to one you will, in the Ion
z run come out victorious.
