COUNTY'S HAND
LIFTS JOBLESS
FROM DESPAIR
Thousands of Dire Cases
Draw Relief From
Trustees Office.
BY CARLOS LANE

Loading a truck at a foundry
several months ago he fell and
broke his back.
He is able to walk, but maybe he
never will attain full use Of the
muscles that earned a small wage
to support his family.
For some time after the mishap
he received compensation-slightly
more than half his wage-under the
Indiana law that inSures employees
Of some income in event of such dis
aster.
Then he was asked to sign a con-
tract for a lesser amount, refused
and now is given nothing.
Doubtless he soon will get the
weekly allowance again, for the
state industrial board is to hear his
case, but when he applied for tenn
pOrary relief from Miss Hannah
Noone, Center township trustee,
there was not cent in the house,
no fuel, and only a little food.
Youth in Rebellion
The investigator from the trus-
tees office heard his story-she al
ready knew most of the details from
a previous call--and promised i'm
mediate relief, basket of groceries,
and coal.
But a portion-and to him the
unbearable burden-of the tragedy
that smothered the little household
had not been told, and he did not
tell it until tears in his panied eyes
betrayed him.
"All this is bad" he sobbed. "But
the worst-the worst of all is my
little girl. She went to school yes
terday, and she hasn't come back"
He looked wistfully at the photo
graph of pretty 14-year-old girl.
In answer to question, he ex-
planned that there was no puppy
love, with possibly an elopement,
back Of her disappearance.
She said once she wanted to 90
to Florida" he said.
Food Little SOIace
The story was rather obvious.
Pretty 14-year-old girls, though
never accustomed to great luxuries,
easily might be too sensitive in the
presence Of schoolmates, when even
pennies no longer could be had
for cheap little pleasures the others
shared.
Sympathetically, the investigator
tried to assure the stricken father
that young girls often get a touch
Of romantic, wanderlust fever that
wears off with little experience.
I'VE can warm his home, and give
him food, but we can't soothe that
tortured heart much, can we?" she
asked as she left the house.
Thousands Are Aided
Perhaps it was not in her power
to alleviate more than the physical
distress of this one man, but to
thousands of other poverty stricken,
unemployed men in Center township
this year, it is a task and that of
her comrades, working out of the
trustees office, to bring new faith
and confidence.
"A man with family, just barely
able to support them on a small
wage, feels the responsibility heavily
If that job is lost suddenly" she
said.
Some, rebellious at society for the
misfortune they can not compre-
bend, turn to crime-under the
platitude that necessity knows no
law"
Others are beaten by despair,
ready to quit; some go on, fighting
a losing battle to keep their house
holds intact.

A DAY OLE
(From MINNEAPOLIS Tribunel

From Minneapolis Tribune)
Although harmony seems to prevail as the representatives
of seven great world powers take up their work at the London
conference, that harmony is a deceptive one. Hailed as the most
important conference since Versailles this gathering in London
holds gingerly in it's hand the economic future of Europe for
some time to come.
Just now the economic balance, or rather the lack Of one, In
central Europe is as volatile and has as many potentialities for
explosion as any war mine. Revolution Is an invisible eighth
power at the London conference. The possibility of political up
heaval is the taskmaster that is driving these ministers from
seven nations in a hasty attempt at dragging Europe out of i'm
pending chaos.
The roar of guns is but an acho of economic warfare. The
efforts for the conference will be directed toward insurfng Furope
that its economic warfare can be continued without calling on
machine guns and armies.
France goes into the London conference reluctanty-a re-
luctance that has characterized all its actions in very discussion
that has proposed making concessions to Germany. It agreed
to send its representatives to London after it was given to
understand that the only topic to be discussed would be the
present financial crisis in Germany.
Frances attitude is one that wants to do as little for Ger.
many as possible and still save it from economic and political
collapse. 1t is a poor attitude with which to enter a conference
of such Importance and indicates that little of permanent i'm
portance can be looked for from the London meeting.
France refuses to discuss disarmament n revision In tho
Young plan, yet these two things are at the root of the Furo.
pean difficulty. Great Britain and the United States ire anvioue
TO see disarmament made a companion issue at the London ron.
ference. Whether that wish is not desired as much nv the
fact that these two powers have no particular need for large
standing armies as it is by a desire for peace, is entirety
probematical.

STONE SAYS GRAIN
TRADE IS HOSTILE

Washington, July 10. - TIL e
charge that grain traders were at
tempting to prevent farmers from
organizing was made today by
Chairman Stone of the Farm
Board.
He said that the desire to OBJ
struct growth of co-operatives was
behind the traders activities in
pressing for a more definite state
ment on sterilization wheat sales.
II am not going to let them die
tate what is in the best interests
Of the farmers" the chairman add
ed. 81 think the pressure to hold
wheat off the market for a year
or until prices have reached a cer-
tain level, was started by them.
At least the only bad reaction to
the new statement made Tuesday
has come from those traders.
They are making every attempt
to discredit the Board and the
Grain Sterilization Corporation"
Challenges Grain Trade
Stone challenged the grain trade
to demonstrate how a definite
policy would increase prices 10 to
20 cents a bushel as the chairman
said they had claimed would re-
suit from a more detailed state
ment.
Representatives of the grain
trade talked v the wheat stu
alton with Stone in May. The
chairman said then he hoped a
better understanding would exist
between them and the Board. But
today Stone charged that they had
not shown any desire to cooperate
in helping the farmer or in solY-
ing the wheat problem.
81 do not think that there is any
statement the Farm Board could
make that the trade would favor"
be said.
Many kilograms arrived at the
boards offices today, indicating,
Stone said, that the new plan had
been well received by wheat
growers themselves. The plan
provides for selling not more than
so, 100000 bushels of the STABILIZE
alton holdings this fiscal year, ex-

THE HIT AND RUN DRIVER
(From Great Falls Trihnnel

IFrOm GTeaL FANS TribuneJ
The socalled "hit and run driver is the lowest form Of ami
NAL life. His failure to stop after being a party to an automi-
bile accident is to begin with, a complete confession that he
and not the other driver, was to blame for the crash-an admis-
sion of reckless and careless driving. It also stamps him as
lacking the courtesy to apologize if the damage is small and the
moral courage to face the consequences of his act if the damage
is great. 1t indicates heartlessness of a most amazing nature in
those accidents where there is loss of life.
Scarcely a day passes that the news columns do not tell of
autOmbfe accidents, some serious, others less so, in which one
of the drivers concerned failed to stop. The hit and run driver
steps on the gas and disappears in a cloud of dust, leaving the
unfortunate victim of his 'carelessness to suffer or to get out of
whatever kind of a jam may have resulted for him, as best he
may
Victims of hit and run drivers should endeavor to get the
license number of the car which is driven rapidly away from the
scene of the accident for which its driver is to blame. That
number should then be reported to the authorities and an effort
made to bring the offending autoist to justice. In that manner
the identity of the driver may more often than not be learned
and he be forced to make whatever restitution may be proper.
A drivers license law would help to thin out hit and run
drivers.
