heard case tried by the juvenile
judge. A man spanked his STEP

mother This Judge heard the girls
testimony and gave the man no
chance to present his version.

correspond with the laws of our
Maker Perhaps if the Judge will
read the following proverbs he will
see where he is putting Marion
county laws above the laws of the
Almighty. Proverbs 1924; 29:15;

A BELIEVER IN GOD
EDITOR TIMES-I would like to
~ be informed how to prepare
Hoover chicken" (iowD without
fuel Last year the gas was turned
eff, as we could not pay the bill.
and since then we have used a coal
stove.
For the last two months we have
asked and begged for wood or coal.
but received nothing but promises.
Are we TO believe that the trustees
desire that we feed raw to our chill
dren that Hoover chicken" jowD
which consists of much hog hide
and some fat and at times SO rank
the odor can be smelled block
away
There also is other food in the
basket that must be boiled or
fried. Or do the trustees contend
that it shall be fed raw, too. Are
we TO mix the flour with cold water.
then feed our children? Without
fuel, how can we do otherwise.
If the trustees know how to pre-
pare this food without fuel, please
let us know Or maybe Hoover, who
is so generous with that chicken"
(iowD, has a special recipe that he
will favor sending us.

EDITOR TIMES-I have not
Il written your paper before, but
I saw a piece of Sept 20 that went
under my skin. 1t was of the fees
paid lawyers by veterans.
If the veterans were given a
square deal by the veterans bureau
they would have no need for an at
torney to sue for what is due them.
I am speaking from experience. 1
have been more than a year and a
half trying. to get pension, and
all l get from the bureau is Il re-
greet that a more favorable reply
could not be given
Believe me, if I knew good
lawyer who would take my case
surely would give it to him. l have
two letters from Mr. Ludlow, and he
says that I deserve the pension.

EDITOR TIMES-I've had a
L shock, the worst I've had since
I was shell shocked in the Argonne
My suggestion is to inform "Patri-
otto" who is ashamed of his name,
to look UP the Constitution of the
United States, concerning oathS of
soldiers and public servants. 1
didn't serve. as he did. in civilian
capacity. Most Of those who are too
yellow to face the enemy are in
cluded in that class of people
MY health was injured from my
service of eighteen months over
seas, and feel that if the United
States can reimburse the man who
made big money on this side, why
shouldn't the United States take
care of men like me?
l class this man and Talcott
Powell as the enemy / and several
other Americans had to face.
I suggest that your paper refrain
from publishing such articles as
that, calling eX-Service men gold
brickers and windbags I know of
q lot of people who will not read
your sheet, due to such trash.

EDITOR TIMES-so so-called
~ politicians, such as James F..
Watson, would do we'll to abide by
the statement that it is better to be
silent and thought dumb than to
speak and remove all doubt"
I respectfully refer the following
statement by William Graham
Sumner" to the Republican. Demo-
cratic, Socialistic, Prohibition. and
all other parties: The Forgotten
Man is delving away in patient in
dustry trying to support his fam
lily trying to pay his taxes, trying
to exercise his legal right and cast
his vote, trying to support the
church and schools, and cheering
