The New Voters

Nearly 100000 new voters viii
be eligible to vote at the November
election. Their vote will come neaI
turning the tide. No wonder the
political war horses are eagerly
shifting the breeze, to see if they
can get any line ON what those new
voters are going to do.
Probably many of them do not yet
know how they are going to vote.
The currents of politics are deep
and complex. If the new voter lacks
a background of history to light the
way over the troubled sea, he hardly
knows where he is at among these
contending forces.
He will probably vote for the can
didates and the parties who seem
most likely to provide work for
youth and also most likely to keep
the country out of war. History
has shown that candidates and par
ties have often made glowing prom
ises that looked rather funny when
recalled a few months after the
election.

The Printed Page

A study of boys and girls in IL
states made by the Boston Univer-
sity School of Education to deter
mine how well children are learning
to read, has indicated that boys are
more apt than girls to be slow in
solving the mysteries of the printed
page.
Some young boys may be so i'm
mersed in their rough and tumble
plays that they do not consider it SO
important to learn their lessons.
When a boy is filled with the hope
of ardent youth to become a profess
sional ball player or prize fighter, he
may not always see the full value
of an those little marks we call the
alphabet.
Parents should tell their boys that
the printed page is the worlds
greatest tool. The nations that have
learned the printed page rule the
world. The people who study deep
into the meaning of the printed page
rule industry, politics. sort, and ev-
erything else. Those that fail to get
below its surface meanings trail
along behind.

ANNIVERSARY
AT SEARSSTORES
Continued rrom rzrst Page,

While the event itself is compar-
atiyely new, il serves to celebrate
the cOmpany's start back in 1886, the
year that President Cleveland mar
ried Frances Folsom. General Miles
fought the Apaches, and Connie
Mack made his debut as a big league
ball player II was in the spring of
this year that Richard Sears, then a
young station agent at North Red
wood. Minnesota, started selling
watches by mail and eventually es-
tablishing the merchandising con-
Cern that now bears his name.
As the cOmpany's sales so far this
year show a substantial increase
over last year, we anticipate a rec
ord anniversary event" said H. A.
Clrich, manager of the Dover Sears
store.
Nearly seven thousand concerns,
all of them our regular sources, dur
ing recent weeks have been busy
manufacturing hundreds of special
anniversary items including every
thing from watches to tea kettles.
THE Dover store has received
huge shipments OF anniversary mer-
clandise and our displays are now
set up and everything is in readi-
Less for this great sale which open
ed yesterday (Thursday), September
~. Throughout the Is days that the
sale is in progress, new 'anniver-
sary specials will be introduced from
time to time in every department"

Homeless Folks

How many absolutely homeless
men are there wandering about the
country? The migratory workers
who travel from one temporary job
to the next probably in most cases
have places they can call home.
Some men who have led a wander
ing life for years seem to have cut
entirely loose from old associations,
and to be floating around on some
tide Of restlessness that has no an
choring place.
On cold nights one will think Of
these homeless men. Have they any
place into which they can crawl?
Back in their memories one would
think they can recall some place
they, once called home. The best
thing they could do would be to go
back there. Probably many have a
remnant of pride that is ashamed to
meet old comrades. II is never too
late to go back home. il people real
Iy would like to make good.

Hitler And Naval Base
Deal

What said Hitler when he learned
that President Roosevelt had traded
50 old destroyers to Britain. in re-
turn for eight naval bases along the
American continent? Probably Adolf
did quite a bit Of cussing. and chalk
ed up one more Of those grudges
against the United States, for which
he proposes to get revenge some
day.
The deal apparently makes it more
difficult for him to obtain that re-
venge. II the provision of the agree
ment under which the British prom
Use never to surrender or scuttle
their fleet is carried out. the United
States Is a good deal safer. The only
immediate danger to the United
States is that that feet might fall
into German hands.
II the German air force should
crush the life out of the English de-
fense, the Nazis might threaten to
keep on with the destruction Of that
country unless they were given pos
session of the fleet. Some English
men might favor yielding to such
threat. If that was done, the United
States would be up against it. But
such a contingency does not seem
likely at present.
The United States needs those
eight bases. They will make it diff
cult for a foreign foe to get foot
hold on our Atlantic shores, or in
South America. The destroyers may
be old, but they can do lot of pep
pering of any armies that try to
cross the English channel, or any
submarines that try to sink British
ships.
The verdict of the American peo-
pie on this trade will depend on how
far they feel it constitutes any new
war danger. The great majority of
our people feel We should keep out
of Europe's bloody turmoil. Whether
or not this move makes us safer or
less safe, is a question to be thresh-
ed out at every meeting place.

The First Year Of War

The world, which had thought
that wars had passed and that it
had created systems that would pre-
serve peace and progress, has now
seen one year of the most terrible
war that the human mind ever con-
ceived.
What has the world learned out of
it's year of madness? Has it learned
anything? Some people think it has
not, and that the human race is in
for a long series of wars until the
people are so crushed by taxes and
losses of war that they will be in
for a new period of dark ages. The
human race has still left a basis of
intelligence and reason, and some
day it will come out of this dark
cloud and see light and reason again.
The world might learn things
from its year of war, if there was
everywhere freedom of speech and a
free press. The people of Germany,
with the education and the intelli-
gence they were supposed to have,
could learn the lessons of war fast
enough, if they could only get the
truth. With a distorted picture of
facts given them every day by their
masters, they get no basis on which
to make fair judgment, and are not
now in position to learn anything.
The main problem which this year
of war gives to the world, is how to
get the truth into the minds of the
deluded people of Germany. If there
was only some way by which they
could learn how they are being
driven like slaves into action which
will make them hated by all men,
then the year of war would give us
more reason for hope. The great
fight which the British people are
putting up against them, suggests
that before second year of war is
over, the German people will discov-
er that many Of the things they have
been told are not true. Some, day
they will turn on the fanatics who
have driven them to the present
heights of folly.

Opening The School
Doors

There is a new stir in the air as
the school year begins. Flocks ol
children have been away for the
summer. The streets seemed de-
serted without their cheerful shouts
Then the wanderers return. The
neighborhoods TEEN with life again
The householders may deplore the
heedIessness they often manifest
But a street without children seems
half way to the cemetery.
Then with school opening, the
streets are again filed with pro-
cession of young life. If the children
ever disliked school, that time has
passed. Their happy faces as they
hasten to the call of the school bell,
are a sign they welcome the COM
radeship of their classmates, and are
ready for a years work.
If the American people fail to ac-
complish all they expect through
education, it will not be the fault Of
the schools. Billions of money have
been provided for schoolhouses and
educational costs. Impressive build
ings, finely equipped, with the sun
light Of heaven pouring into their
windows, provided with everything
needed to make children healthy,
have been constructed. The stand
ards exacted of teachers are higher
than ever before.
The young folks come in contact
with very bright and capable men
and women, who study day and
night how they can train children so
as to make them competent and in
telligent.
The child should enter the school
house door with the feeling that the
school system is his friend. Educa-
tion sis arranged to help the child
make a place for himself in the
world. The rules are not made to
harass and annoy him, but to see to
it that the child and the family be-
hind him get their moneys worth.
If children enter school and play
the game of study according to the
rules, they will be the most FORUM
ate youth in all the world. Doors
of opportunity will open to them,
and they will go on to successful
experience.

By the Associated PrNSs.
NEW YORK, July 26-Led by
rails, corporate bonds attracted
fresh buying today and many rose
fractions to more than points as
the market broadened.
AS in recent sessions, interest in
bonds seemed to be based partly
on expectation they would be more
attractive to investors under rising
wartime taxes on corporate profits
because interest may be deducted
for tax purposes before profits are
figured.
Up l or more near the final hour
were Allegheny SIS of 1850, Com

first As, Nickel Plate As and Wal
worth IS, which jumped 6l2 points
on few sales.
Issues of Cuba Railroad lost l
to as much as 5 points in light
dealings as June coupons were
finally paid at the reduced rate
provided in the recent decree.
Off more than a point each in the
foreign list were Japan 6i2s and
Argentine 4l2s, and most of the
other bonds in this division, where
traded at all, were lower.
United States Governments barely

Heat Wave Produces
Strong Demand for
Seasonal Items
Store Sales AVERAGE
6 to II Per Cent
Above Year Ago
Ev the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 26.-Consumer
purchasing continues to make an
"auspicious showing" for this season,
said the Dun g. Bradstreet weekly
trade review today.
The Nations first summer heat
wave produced strong belated de-
mand in retail stores for various
types of seasonal merchandise" the
survey asserted.
Comparisons with last years
level of retail volume were not en-
tirely favorable for all cities, al
though the total for the country was
up approximately to IL per cent.
"On the whole centers of heavy
industry had the best relative show
ing from the point of view both of
dollar and unit volume. All broad
regions showed some year. to-year
increase, the margin being broadest
for the Middle West and Northwest,
narroWest for the Pacific Coast.
Activity in wholesale markets
failed to reveal any significant
change in retailers buying policies,
although sentiment was said to be
somewhat more cheerful as a result
of the rapid movement of seasonal
merchandise in the past week. Mail
orders picked up and there were
numerous rush calls for merchandise
to round out stocks for clearances
and special August sales"
