PITTSBURGHERS
LAY ODDS ON
PINCHOT
Favored, 1913, to Beat Brown,
While Betting Is Even on
Grundy's Race With Davis

PITTSBURGH. Pa, May Is U.
N.S)-Pennsylvania, the banner
Republican State Of the Union,
where nomination is equivalent to
election, is undergoing an acute
attack of party collie.
Nothing quite like it has ever
been seen before-three candi-
dates for Senator, each with q
chance to win; three candidates
for governor, each with a chance
to win-a far cry from Lhe old
days when Boies Penrose used to
nominate the candidate with q
well directed grunt.
Ballot Next Tuesday
The day Of decision is next
Tuesday and only the rasheSt of
political prophets care to hazard
an opinion as to the outcome-aS
to whether Francis Skunk Brown,
or Clifford NPinchot, or Thomas
w. Phillips will be the guber-
Material nominee; or whether
Joseph r. Grundy, James J..
Davis. or Francis H. Bohlen win

Phillips and Bohlen are run
ming as out and out vets. They
are running only because the
other candidates eVaded direct
stand on the prohibition issue,
which is just as hot in Penn
sylvania as in other sections of
the country. They are conceded
only an outside chance 10 win,
yet their candidates. may be the
determining factor.
Brown -PinchOt, Davis -Grundy
The real contest, it is conceded,
is between Brown and Pinchot
for the governorShip and between
Davis ind Grundy for the "enaCe.
Brown and Davis are allied for.
mally. Pinchot and Grundy are
pursuing their separate ways.
Yet. circumstances and politics
have thrown them together and
many are planning to vote that
ticket next Tuesday. Both are
dry.
The Davis-BrSwn ticket has the
advantage of having both the
Pittsburgh ans Philadelphia or
ganiZations osspnsibly for it. In
any ordinary year. this would be
sufficient, but Ills is not All

the prediction is made that next
Tuesday will see more cutting and

Has Roosevelt County Prospered?

In this present period of unrest and business depression 10 mar
can tell what a year will bring forth in the rapid fire OF human affairs
for literally speaking we shake hands with the world today.
Everywhere property owners ae interested in the safe and eco
nomic expenditure of all monies received from taxation.
This article is intended to show the taxpayers of Roosevelt
County what its financial condition is and what the money paid in
for taxes is being used for and how it is being paid out.
On July 31st 1923 Roosevelt County had a bonded indebtedness
of S824o0ooo less sinking fund of s41,235.51, which if applied would
reduce the bonds at that time to S78276449 together with outstanding
warrants amounting to S163,66794, making a total of S94643243.
May 31st, 1880 We had oe,5oooo of unpaid bonds less sinking
fun1 of S27627421 which if applied would reduce our bonds to
S43322579 together with our outstanding warrants o May 31st, 1880
which amounted to s127,a5978. making the total debt of Roosevelt
County IN May 31st, 1880 of 1851 o8557 compared tic Se4643243 on
July S1st, 1923, o our debt has decreased 1886, 346.s6 during the pres
ent administration.
IN addition to the above the Commissioners have not only paid
the running expenses of the County, but have built 654 miles of graded
preceding years. They have also built se,655.1o worth of bridges,
placed s2s,oooOo worth of culverts, and have purchased $4,000 90
Of travel Economy must have been used in all the offices OF the
county to accomplish this. ALL OF WHICH HAS BEEN DONE AT
THE REQUEST OF THE TAXPAYERS. In no instance have the
Commissioners built a single foot of road on their own initiative.
1t is well to remember that this economical showing is not due
to any one man or office, but it is the result of the united cooperation
and economic methods of all of the County Officers.
What story does the above figures reveal? If they indicate that
the affairs of the County have been handled in n efficient manner
land it does show that very thing, the question naturally arises,
do we want to change the management? When the annual report OF
q large Corporation shows a profit or evidence of good management
it does not a IS a rule discharge the men responsible for the saving
and put in their place a new force Of employees. They usually Keep
the old ones. They know it is safer and less expensive to keep those
that have been tested and found proficient than it is to fill their de
partments with inexperienced men. They know it costs money to
train men. When they have gone to the expense of training them
they want to keep them.
Running the business of a county is a big undertaking. You tax
payers are the stockholders. 1t is entirely up to you to decide whether
the above financial statement jusifes a change in management
You r the judge.

1.-The Battle Is Or1...
It's LTD to the Farmers

The biggest obstacle which must be overcome
during the current crop year is to check the flow of
the bulk grain to the open market in order that an
other serious glut may be avoided. Despite the ma
jor provisions being made by the Farmers National
Grain Corporation and it's growing foster child, the
Farmers Union Terminal Association, to accommodate
the 1880 crop, private interests still control the bulk
of the nations storage facilities. Adding insult to
injury, those interests have already announced an
increase of from five to six cents storage charges
per bushel of grain.
Whether the grain farmers enjoy being gypped
remains to be seen. An avenue of escape from an
imminent price depression is afforded them by
means of a little old tin can called a grain bin.
For the amount of investment required, the DOS
sible increase in cash market prices through effec-
tive use of grain bins will more than offset the mon
ey expended. Eventually it is hoped that the nations
entire wheat crop will be marketed comparatively
and stored in warehouses and terminal elevators
controlled by co-operatives. Until then farmers
must adopt the most effective means at hand to in
sure the stability of the market until the wheat sur
plus is disposed of.
Farmers living in North Dakota and Montana
are placed in an advantageous position because they
are able to secure government loans on farm stored
grain. There is practically no excuse that will iusti-

ct. Before long similar laws may be in effect in
other states in the spring wheat area affording all
the same opportunity. Leaders in the farm
are battling for the passage of farm stor-
age laws in South Dakota and Minnesota, and thew !
are getting nearer their goal every day. Right now

one all over the country. the
need for excellent teachers in
kindergarten work is especially
pressing.
This is because impressions
made upon the plastic minds of
young children are never en-
tirely eradicated.
The kindergartners make the
first and deepest school i'm
preSsionS.
Directly of indirectly these
earliest teachings affect the en-
tire course of children's lives.
Luckily, we are getting away
from the idea that all children
of a certain age must conform
to certain pattern-that first
we must work out a course of
study and then somehow shape
the growing mind according to
that particular mould.
The teachers trained in the
best pedagogical methods are
realizing that children of the
same age are not always alike
either in mental equipment or
in learning ability.
Since the individuality of
one child differs from that of
the next, every study, no mat
ter what its nature or how ele-
mentary, should be translated
according to the lights of the
pupil.
That takes time, patience
and interest in teaching.
To really teach is a real job,
a hard job!
Teachers are leaders of
thought. Teaching is a noble
profession.
But those who do not take it
seriously have no business in
any school system.

H u m n nature doesn't
change" - you've heard that
scores of times. It's one of our
oldest axiomS, and still going
strong. Particularly these days
when people don't want to ad-
NIT lot of startling new facts.
Don't worry about the world!
Don't fuss about the younger
generation" they say compla-
Gently. Everything all right.
These youngsters aren't really
any different than we were at
their age. They'll. settle down.
You'll see. HUMAN NATURE
DOESN'T CHANGE"
A comforting argument. but
there's not an atom of truth in
it. Human nature DOES change.
HUMAN NATURE is WHAT
THE TIMES MAKE IT.
Remember, in school, when
you read about the stone Age"
and the Bronze Age? 1t was
easy to realize how different
men must be in those two ages.
Men who had actual inStru-
ments of bronze, and the skill
and the culture that came with
the making of those inStru-
ments. must naturally be very
different from ignorant crea-
lures who lived like apes.
They thought different
things, and felt and did differ
ent things. The human ma
ture" of the Bronze Age men
was a million years removed
from the human nature" of
the Stone Age men.
Sometimes human nature
takes a million years to change.
Sometimes it changes almost
overnight. Young Bills human
nature is as different from his
grandfather's as the Bronze
Age was different from the
Stone Age. Life was very
simple thing so years ago. 1t

was very little speed or ten

Life then was as different from
life in 1880 as living in
shaded garden is different from
living on the edge of volcano.
Suddenly, almost as though
a magician waved wand,
everything changed. Changed
more in SO years than it had
changed in the preceding 5000.
For millions of years man

ture, hemmed in by time and
space. Now steamboats,, trains.

biles, electric lights, X-rays, ra-
dios, telephones set him free

air as we'll as earth-loosed
his life into a new dimension
gave him, actually, a new
world to inhabit.
Change the time in which a
man can make a date or a get
away and you change your
man. You've changed his atti-
tude toward life, toward him
self, toward his fellow man.
He's bound to think about dis
tances and difficulties. about
obligations and penalties, about
money and morals, about work
and play and his own right to
the breaks. He'll think faster,
more recklessly and restlessly,
more extravagantly than his
father ever thought-and he'll
take, he MUST take, greater
chances.
Human nature HAS changed.
The good old times" have
gone forever. This is a new
world and you must use a new
technique to deal with it You'll
never get very far with your
own life or your children'S s
lives unless you acknowledge

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland

"She doesn't waste her time
looking for an impressionable
bachelor. because she knows
that an unmarried man is
woman-shy and full of Wari-
ness, and that he will suspect
her of matrimonial designs
upon him from the first drop
of the eyelashes. He is just a
large body of suspicion, COM
pletely surrounded by caution
and Notifications.
His heart has storm proof
doors on all sides. and his
emotions have been carefully
insulated.
But a married man is as
unsuSpecting and as defenceless
as Belgium. And. next to blanc
mango and prune souffle, the
softest thing on earth is the
vanity OF man whose wife
has become a habit to him.
Young girls used to spend
their time and energy Turing
"a single man into matrimony,
but. now, they devote most of
their art to Turing a married
man OUT of it.
Il am too busy to waste my
days defending my property
rights in my own husband.
And, after I have gotten him
