Old Age Pension Sys-
TEN In Operation
$4,000 Aged Persons On Elig-
IDLE List-Counties Have
Made Levies

Made LeVleS
According to Lee l.. Dopkin, head
of the old-age pension division of the
Board of State Charities, survey OF
the State shows there are abou: a.
600 persons eligible for pensions.
While the Statewide ratio of pen
sion eligibles is six persons to every
1000, Mr.. Dopkin pointed out, the
ratio will run higher in industrial
areas.
County welfare boards to admin
lister the work have been set up in all
counties except one. Application
forms have gone to all counties and
are available. Sixteen counties have
included levies for the pensions, and
some other counties have indicated
payments would be made from their
contingent funds.
The counties already have levied
s16S,OO0 of the 100000 expected to
be needed for the first year. The
county welfare departments will
make the pension payments of not
more than $50 per month. The
State then will return two-thirds of
the total amount to the counties. A
Federal bill, now pending, will
match the old-age pension money
dollar for dollar.
Explaining the operation of the
system, Mr.. Dopkin said persons de-
string pensions would make applica-
ton to the county welfare depart
ment. A record of the application
will be sent 20 the pension head
quarters in Baltimore, where it will
be checked to prevent payments to
the same person in more than one
county.
After an investigation by county
welfare workers, the case will be re-
checked by the executive secretary of
the county board. If both decisions
are against the payment, the appli-
cant is privileged to appeal the case
to the pension division of the Board
of State Aid and Charities.

For sheer musical beauty, the
recital of OSSip GabrilowitSch,
pianist, and Albert Spalding, vio-
linist, in Constitution Hall yester,
day afternoon, stands out as one
of the high points of the present
musical season.
Knowing full we'll that sonata
program might not have the popu-
lar appeal that other more COM
mon programs might have had,
these superb artists dared to pre-
sent these seldom heard works
and were well repaid for their
efforts by the reception given
them by the audience.
Contrary to the usual custom,
they did not respond to the in
SiStent demand for encoreS by
playing a more popular number,
but continued the high spirit of
the recital with the adagio move
ment from Beethoven'S Sonata,
Opus 96.
When two artists of the first
water unite efforts in a most un-
assuming manner, each submerg.
ing himself to the spirit of the
compositions, music OF the high

Modern Pioneers

The days of pioneering hardships seem to have
passed At least there Is no evidence OF discomfort or
suffering in the accounts being received OF the settling
of Alaskas Matanuska Valley by Minnesota and Wis
consin farm families sent there by our Washington
government
These modern ~emigrants, 1t is revealed, are re-
quired to have equipment that would have been unOb-
tainable. or even fabulous, in the case OF settlers on
new land as recently as a quartercentury ago. Each
family must own a RADIO, and a household washing
machine. If 1t does not, the government buys the de-
vices and charges them against the family's credit.
Since each family is allowed $4,000 credit, and
almost halt, or $1,1O0 Of this is being expended for its
home, 1t is evident that the authorities directing the
settling OF these families In their new surroundings re-
grad such equipment, taken for granted in every we'll
equipped home of the United States, as being equally
necessary for Alaska,s new residents.
Dispatches announce that the first Monday OF the
new colony was signalized by the dedication" Of the
families washers. The transplanted women are colo
nists second and homemakers first. Swishing machines
and fluttering clotheslines recreated in farof Alaska
the first scene that truly reminds them OF their fam
tliar old home surroundings.

Governmental Ideals

The younger people OF Sheridan county should be
taught the fundamental principles of their government.
No chance should be taken that they grow up without
learning to appreciate the vital factors which formed
this union.
We are afraid that native Americans take this for
granted. Because they have been satisfied with their
government, and because they understand the theories
OF our governmental system, they take 1t for granted
that all youngsters will, somehow inherit a reverence
for. and an understanding of popular government as It
was planned for this country.
The duties of a man or a woman as a voter
should be carefully impressed upon all. Too often
there is a tendency on the part OF all Of us to vote
carelessly, and yet if our government is to succeed
permanently, it must rest, fundamentally upon the be-
lief that the average voter will be moved by sound
motives in casting his ballot. Are our young people
being acquainted with this?
More important is the ideal public official. Those
who aspire to office should understand that they rep
resent the people, that their deeds are supposed to be
for the interest OF the people and that their constant
endeavor will be to serve the public interest as dis
tinguished from their own, or a group, interest.
Very often. We have to admit, the professional Office
holder has not reached this ideal. and it is important
that the young people OF today, who will furnish the
officials OF tomorrow, should at least be encouraged in
learning OF the ideal.
There will come a time in the history OF this re-
public when a public official who betrays his trust
VIII be denounced with more vehemence than a sold
Ter who deserts his comrades in battle. Not only
must his conduct be free from wrongful acts. but it
must be, like Caesars wife, above suspicion. The
breath OF scandal that turks around a man In public
office may occasionally be without cause, but more Of
ten 1t is entirely justified.
The officials that we have will measure up to the
stand of public morality that is demanded by the vot-
ers. They will never be better and should be expelled
when worse. The voter has not the right to expect
blameless public men when he Is always guilty Of ex-
pecting a little extra consideration for himself. or his
interests. The reform Of public Life which we hear
about, is certain to begin with the righteous and arous-
ed wrath Of the electorate.

THE HOUSE FLY BEFORE THE
COURT OF JUSTICE

Not a century ago the house fly
was regarded as an innocent little
nuisance. People paid very little
attention 10 his habits, and saw no
connection between disease and his
presence in the home. Now he and
his conduct have been thoroughly
studied, with the result hat he Is re-
garded with loathing and disgust.
Every effort is made by enlightened
people to eXterminate him and his
breeding places.
The house fly eats with real Joy
the vilest refuse and gets 1t upon his
feet and wings. He then lights up
on your food and pours saliva upon
1t to soften 1t that he may eat it. He
vomits again and again while engag-
ed in this delectable task. This he
leaves upon your food, together with
the %excretions from his bowls, the
filth from his feet and body. Ex-
anime his leavings under the micro
scope, and you will find all sorts of
filth and dangerous disease germs.
The fly breeds in fresh stable man.
ure. He lays about $500 e & and
there are from ten to twelve genera
lions in n season. The eggs hatch
in twenty-four hours in warm wealth
er. The maggots feed freely upon
carton manure, or whatever suit
able food in which it finds itself. In
about ten days, it crawls under ston-
es or boards and turns into a barrel
shaped object. If the weather Is
warm 1t flies away as a young fly,
In from three to six days. II 1t is
cold it remains under it's hiding plac-
es indefinitely, sometimes as long as
five or six months after which it
changes its shape and energies as a
fly. 1t is now free to start on its
life as a disease disseminating pest.
The digestive system OF the fly
contains filth and infectious germs.
Not being particular about its habits
1t voids and deposits fecal matter on
whatever it happens to be feeding
upon. 1t brings dysentery, cholera,
fever, infantile summer
obwel complaints, and many other
deathdealing diseases.
Why chase them out OF your house
and allow them to go on breeding In
the horse stable and COW lot? All
manure should be cleaned from the
each day. If it is kept in
heaps, it should be sprinkled each

There are other ways of preventing

effective. The important thing Is

Japan Honors A Dog

Perhaps the most unusual tribute ever paid to a
dog was that accorded one which recently died In To-
kyo, Japan, and was buried with rites participated in
by Is Buddhist priests. The animal had become a sort
of national hero because OF his faithfulness to his dead
master.
Hachiko. the dog, belonged to a DR.. Hidesaburo
Ueno, and used TO accompany his master to the sta
ton when he went to work in the mornings, and met
him in the evenings when he came home. Eleven years
ago DR.. Ueno died. But every day Hachiko went to
the station morning and evening to meet his master.
The dog became famed throughout Japan as an
example of devotion. Schoolbooks told his story; he
appeared ON the screen; and last year a bronze statue
OF him was erected outside the station where he kept
his lonely vigil for SO long.
When Hachiko became Ill recently, the efforts of
five veterinary surgeons were unavailing and he died
OF heart disease.
His masters widow attended his funeral, and rs
grams and letters Of coincidence testified to the place
he held in the nations heart. Now Hachiko lies in a
little grave at the side OF his master.

1t is the business OF a newspaper to publish the

friends ask you to come in and get the editor to leave
out a story about what actually happened.

The man who knows no more about advertising
than to think it is a charitable way to keep a news
paper living in Sheridan County will probably need
somebody to keep his business going.
Getting down to facts, a 240pound man driving a
little ball, and becoming upset when 1t flies crooked,
is something OF a comical sight.
