GENERAL days ago, in reading
~ the editorials Of your paper, the
writer was much impressed with
your article Fun Without Money"
This idea surely will be received
gratefully by many wto have had
10 cut down or entirely do away
witl recreation they need now more
than ever before.
Slowly there seems to be filtering
Into the minds Of the people the
necessity for permanently changing
their habits TO conform with pres
ent conditions. Let us hope we will
learn to become neighbors again.
The brotherhood OF our church
has been working along that line for
the last year. The monthly meet
ing has been thrown open TO all
and large part Of our program
has been given over to entertain
ment
Last month we had large crowd
when we had as speaker Frank
Hamilton, spy during the war

OF our members has movie ma

7 SEE blythe paper that the prodi-
L gal son of Iowa has returned.
When he was yet great way off,
his father (the Republican parity
saw him. and ran, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him, and said to
his paid servants, Bring forth the
best robe of Capitalization of gov
eminent power, and put it on him,
an6 put a ring of royal monarchy of
Hamiltons type on his hand, for
this is my SON"
Now his elder sons were in the
field, or had been. They heard the
music and dancing and went into
town, and asked one of the paid
servants what these things mean
The servants said, thy father has
killed the fatted calf, because the
brother has returned from England,
and the elder sons were angry and
said: 10, these many years do we
serve you, neither tranSgressed we
at any time thy commandments;
and you never gave us a break, but
now this son who has put the yoke
OF bondage of England and the in
ternational bankers upon us, has
taken our home away from us, gets
the fatted calf. We will not stand
for it; We will parade. You say it.

A FTER reading comments in
n this column, I have come to
the conclusion that instead of be-
ing headed ~'Your Column" it
should be called the Howl Col
umn" That is all its contributors
seem able to do in this land of
plenty.
One of the readers complains
about our policemen. dare say
if said reader would himself stand
on corner all day in a down.

of guiding these Hoosier geese
across the street, he would do more
thai use profane language.
am no lover of policemen, but
why not remember they also are
human, even though paid by us tax
payers.
Whom the average citizen wants
to hear from is not these bonus
squawkers, political mud singers
and tax ouchers, but sensible, toll
Grant, cheerful individuals who can
spill something into our depressed
ears and befuddled brains except
the blues.

WOULD like to join with P S,
Il Haskell in regard to Mr..
Patriotic who was too yellow to
wear a uniform during the war, and
too ashamed to sign his name to the
article he wrote in which he called
the ex-service men gold brickerS
and windbags.
I class this man and Talcott
Powell AS worse than enemies and
they should be treated as such. Mr..
Patriotic has plenty Of nerve now,
since the war has been over four
teen years,
We are not asking for anything
except what is due us and the bonus
is part-just a small part-of what
the government owes the eX-service
men.
We ex-service men are deserving
of more than we ever will get.
