down the middle Of it until he gets
to pool. He will plunge into the
pool, frightening the salmon or
other finny denizens.
When the fish, trying to escape,
reach shallow water, the bear
pounces upon them. He uses his
paws to corral the prey, but once
this as, accomplished, he picks up
the fish in his mouth AMI goes
ashore to eat it."

SCHOOLS COAT
IN LEVY CUTS,
SAYS WILSON
Hamstring Through Unfair
Legislation, Is Charged
in Address.

Hamstringing Of the indianapolis
public schools system through un-
fair legislation was charged Friday
by Russell Wilson, school board
president in an adress to the Ex-
change Club at the Washington.
The school board has been
handicapped in it's efforts to carry
on an adequate educational program
Tor next year, Wilson asserted.
He pointed out that revision Of
the school budget for the year, end
ing June 30, 1893. has necessitated
curtailment of school funds to the
extent that forty-one school days
must be cut from the term.
This forty-one day loss can be re-
duced to fifteen days, If the next
legislature "has a heart" and pro-
vides for year suspension of the
contribution to the schools sinking
fund, Wilson said.
Points Out Law
Under the law, he pointed out, the
school city is required to set aside
a sum equal to per cent of the
school city's outstanding bonded
Indebtedness, which would amount
this year to approximately $4,000
There can be no moratorium on
education" Wilson told the club
members. "Our children of today
must be educated today or the OPP
portuntty is lost forever.
we may delay building, sewers,
Fairgrounds or municipal golf
courses until next year or the next
when more taxes can be 'wrung'
from the taxpayers, but in the case
OF education, it means future happi-
ness and capacity for service if they
get itA-if they do not, it means
misery and igorance.
Being Made the Goat"
although the school board has
been assailed by political and other
storms in past years, its operations
never have been threatened by such
a financial cyclone as now.
"The school city is being made the
goat The new tax adjustment
board, after a week of wrangling, has
ordered cut in the school tax rate
Of 1877, or about 1870 600.
Political subdivisions may go
blithely on with their spending, but
to hamper the educational program
in indianapolis means a definite re-
treat.

ESTABLISHING PRISON
FARMS FOR COUNTIES
Pennsylvania See Innovation as
Best Penal Method.


BIZ United Press
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 49,
Two Pennsylvania counties have
established "prison farms" and six
others are considering such estab-

welfare reported.
The farms now operating are in
Berks and Delaware counties. The
former is located on a 740-acre
plot and the latter on one of $40
acres. Each prison houses 300.
Welfare officials advocate the
farms as "the only modern meth
cd of establishing a satisfactory
program of rehabilitation in fit
ting convicted men for return to
society"
Those counties listed as consid-
ering such farms included Wash
ington, Greene, Somerset, Erie,
Montgomery and Chester.

An Invaluable Lesson

Towering more than feet tall
clad in rough trousers and a leather
9ackeet, General Giassford stood be-
fore an open fireplace in his home
and summed up his experiences and
beliefs.
Whether we agree with the fed
eral governments action or not" he
said, "the eviction of the bonus
army was an invaluable lesson to
the American people.
1T stripped the mantle from the
federal administration, and showed
the administration undeniably out
of sympathy with the interests and
welfare of the common man.
ut made the people conscious of
that situation, and showed them
the way to use the ballot against it.
Welded U. S. Veterans
ut welded the country's veterans
into well-organized group, making
it possible for the INTO unite for the
welfare of the entire nation, ire
spective of possible preferential de-
mands for veterans legislation.
incidentally, just have returned
from a trip around the country dur
ing which I talked to leaders of
many veterans organizations. All
of these groups absolutely are OPP
posed to any sort of march on
Washington this winter.
80 far as the so-called hunger
marchers, and other such organiza-
tions are concerned, there is alb
solutely nothing they can gain by
coming here.
Not Interested in Job
From a purely personal stand
point, I can see no objection to
groups petitioning congress, pro-
vided they are financially capable
of taking care of themselves. Any
group that is not self-supporting
and can not take care of itself is
simply laying itself open to months
of misery and suffering"
Since Glassford's resignation, ru-
NOR has connected him with all
sorts of jobs in any number of
cities. He commented on those ru-
mors thus:
Il am not interested in any job,
political or otherwise, unless it
offers a chance for real constructive
service, particularly in ameliorating
the present conditions of poverty
and distress. Neither money nor
anything else would be factor in
case I should take such a Job"
