WHEN IT COMES to presenting proposals the policy seems to be let
Hughes do it
MINGO COUNTY and Huerifano County should also hold a disarma
ment conference.
THAT PROPOSED special session should give the speakers in the
forthcoming campaign something to talk about
SOME PUBLIC EMPLOYES are asked to get, out and others resign
before any one has a chance to fire them.
IF SOME Congressmen can’t attain notoriety in any other way they
get themselves mixed up in breach of promise sui’s.
CONGRESS SEEMS to be worrying a lot about surtaxes on Incomes,
but what about the little fellow whose income isn’t in the surtax class.
NOW THAT Alex Howat has been expelled from the miners’ union
he probably feels free to go ahead and form that independent organiza
tion he has threatened so long.
IT IS HARD to understand how even seventy-three votes could have
been cast at RavenswooC inasmuch as the last United State census give
the town a population of five.
"EAST IS EAST West is West, and never the twain shall meet,”
Rndyard Kipling once remarked. The conference on the limitation of arma
ments shows how mistaken he was.
THE FIRE CONGRESS Is advocating civil service for fire departments.
The politicians wouldn’t kick if it should work out like civil service in
the appointment of first class postmasters.
WITH THE ARBUCKLE trial and the conference on the limitation
of armaments on at the same time a special session of the Legislature
would be almost the last straw.
A Special Session
Nothing could be more unfortunate just at this time, or at any time
for that matter, than a special session of the Legislature. Reports
an extra session will be called are again being circulated. In reply to
them Governor Warren T. McCray has stated that he has made no plans
but that he has been “talking over the proposition.”
As usual the special session, if one is called, will be held for the
purpose of straightening out a muddle into which the State has been
plunged by a careless body of law makers. The removal of the Reforma
tory from Jeffersonville is now the subject of contention and the conten
tion has been brought about through the enactment of a law that Is as
full of holes as a sieve.
In the first place, the law was .not specific as to where the new Re
formatory was to be located, and in the second place, the Legislature did
not consider the cos* of constructing such an institution and appropriated
an entirely inadequate amount. As the results of the operation of a mud
dled law the State finds itself ir the predicament of having disposed of its
second largest penal institution without having made provisions for a
new one. The new owners of the institution property are now asking
for possession and appear to be entitled to it.
If a session of the Legislature is found to be necessary that ses
sion should be held down to the briefest po""ible period of time. It should
not run riot with a mass of new legist ..on but should be presented with
a carefully prepared bill providing for anew reformatory and should be
asked to consider it and, if it is approved, to enact it into a law in the
shortest possible period of time, and go home.
One of the darkest of many blots on the record of the late lamented
Goodrich administration war that fifteen-day extra session which quarrelled
continuously over ways and means to correct the many mistakes of the
previous regular session. Toe last regular session made surprisingly few
serious mistakes and the proposed special session, if it is called, should
not write “boners’’ into the statute books to be corrected by another
special sesion or at the next regular meeting.
A Faith Well Kept
The declaration of Hanford MacNider, the new commander of the
American Legion, on his first visit to Indianapolis that the fight to ob
tain better care for disabled soldiers will be waged unremittingly, dis
plays a faith well kept
The welfare of those unfortunate youths who were the victims of
shot and shell and gas and all the tortures of modem warfare • ver there
has been the chief interest of the Legion since its organization. It has
made secondary other interests, such as the adjusted compensation pro
gram, until the future can be made brighter for its disabled buddies.
Thus the trust has been kept by a succession of national commanders —
D'Olier, Galbraith, Emery and now MacNider. All have done iheir share
toward raising the standard of governmental care for the men whose lives
were blighted while battling for their country, but the fight is not com
pleted yet
Governmental agencies move slowly and Congress at times seems
to move the slowest of aIL It is well that there is an organization of virile
young men, led by an energetic commander whose leadership was well
tested on the field of battle, to take up cudgels for those hapless service
men and to demonstrate to the country that while the war is sinking into
history it has left in its wake a flotsam and jetsam that must be salvaged.
China
Even China is to have her day in court Probably the most mistreated
of all nations, this enormous country of the Orient may at last be ac
corded a square deal.
It is not so much a limitation of armaments that is needed in the case
of China as the practice of the golden rule. The golden rule, by the way,
was taught by Confucius. This oldest of all civilizations, strange as it may
seem, has not been able to organize itself In such a way as to insure its
own territorial and governmental integrity. Asa result, other nations have
taken advantage of China’s helplessness and profited thereby.
This practice has not been confined to any one nation, but nearly all
are responsible. Little wars and great wars have been fought over China
and in every case China has received the worst of it, although in most
cases she has been innocent.
Asa result, the country is cut up into leases and “zones of influence"
and outright possession. Russia had its share and Japan took it away
from the Czar. Germany had a slice until Japan also seized it. England
has a fair sized corner, and France a considerable slice. Other countries
from time,to time also have reached in and taken what they desired or
what some powerful country saw fit to let them have.
Americans have always been friendly to the “under dog.” This de
scription certainly fits the case of China. Perhaps the conference in
Washington will be instrumental in assuring to China that it will not
be imposed upon again.
Practical Conservation
The State department of conservation has just announced that through
its cooperation a large sugar factory in the northern part of the State
is able to reclaim ten tons of sugar and, a large quantity of other ma
terial each day and at the same time to stop pollution of the stream into
which it runs its waste. This is practical conservation
The sugar factory arrangement is just one of the many things that
the State’s active conservation department is doing. There is always a
tendency in an organization of this kind to run to theories rather than
to practical results, but the conservation department of Indiana has been
particularly productive of results.
One of its greatest works is the maintenance of beauty spots as State
parks. The department is now working on anew entrance to Turkey Run
State park which will make that beauty spot more accessible. This park
is one of the prides of Indiana and is visited by many thousands of per
sons each month. It is just another example of what this department^

Dear K. C. B.—The other day a little
group of people were standing on the
street singing. Among those who looked
on was a fellow who kept making funny
noises so that those about him laughed.
Finally he got so smart he put cigarette
ashes on the shoulder'of an old man who
6tood with the singers. And then a
roughly dressed fellow stepped up and
grabbed him by the neck and shook him
as though he were a little dog and sat
him down on the street. The old man in
terfered and picked the young fellow up
and helped him brush off his clothes. It
was then I noticed that the big fellow
who had done the punishing wore an
overseas cap and had fought in France,
and that the little group of singers was

young fellow who put the ashes on the

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1921.
Keeping House
With the Hoopers
[The Hoopers, an average American
family of five, living in a suburban
town, on a limited income, will tell
the readers of the Daily Times bow
the many present-day problems of
the home are solved by working on
the budget that Mrs. Hooper has
evolved and found practical. Follow
them daily In an interesting review
of their home life and learn to meet
the conditions of the high cost of
living with them.]
FRIDAY.
The members of the Woman's Club
greeted Mrs. Hooper most cordially when
she apepared among them after her long
absence from the meetings and the Home
Economic Section over which she had
been appointed to preside as chairman
were enthusiastic in their expressions
of welcome.
"I shall be most delighted to see you
presiding in my place,’’ said Mrs. Chapin
as she handed the chair over to her, “as
the discussion on this budget question
was growing quite too much for me and
the questions we have saved up for you
to decide for us, Mrs. Hooper, will make
yo'u realize how much we need you.”
Mrs. Hooper smiled gratefully as she
took the chair quite conscious that the
place was being given to her by this
group of women, only because she bad
gained the reputation among them of
having become rather expert in the busi
ness of managing a home on a limited
income, and that now they were waking
up to a realization of the importance ot
doing in their own households what she
had been doing for years they looked to
her for advice and assistance.
“Mrs. Chapin tells me,” begun Mrs.
Hooper addressing the Section, “that
each one of you has been engaged in pre
paring a budget on the basis of your
own individual Income that is patterned
after mine which is figured on a basis
of fifty dollars a week.”
“Yes,” volunteered one of the women,
“and we have worked it out, using the
same percentage of the income for each
item in the budget that you have.”
“There is a. general rule that the per
centage is changed with the varying In
comes,” observed Mrs. Hooper. “That is,
if yonr income Is larger you? percent
age for food Is smaller, and there is a
larger percentage for clothes and ad
vancement and savings, but the members
of this section are largely concerned
with the income that is the same ns
mine—sso a week, and the deviation from
this for those of yon who have more or
less is so very little that we will not
complicate matters by considering any
thing but the SSO a week Income for
the present.
“Mrs. Chapin and the others whose In
comes run far beyond that of most of
us, can easily adjust to a balanced ex
penditure, id for those wjio are rnhnag
ing on less than SSO a week, we will have
to concentrate on helping them to make
it go as far and as advantageously as
possible,” concluded Mrs. Hooper.
“This week we have been working on
the item of ‘advancement,’" said Mrs.
Owen, “and there were indications at
the last meeting that this problem would
prove a very difficult one for most of
us to adjust to, especially when we had
no more than $3 a week or §156 a year
to cover all the things listed under ‘ad
vancement.’ ”
“It isn’t easy,” admitted Mrs. Hooper,
her own problem recurring to her ver>
forcibly, "but what seemed the greatest
difficulty?’'
"Well take me for instance," said one
woman, "X want to begin right now to
work on a budget and X find that I can
give my family all the nourishing food
they need on S2O a week, that I can
learn to manage the clothes allowance
though it looks pretty difficult now, and
that the operating expense account will
probably be sufficient, but to crowd into
$3 dollars a week the expenditures for
all the things we have been considering
an absolute necessity—well I think it
can’t be done.”
“Oh yes, it can,” spoke up Mrs. Camp
bell loyally.
“Well let us take the first item of
periodicals and newspapers.” said Mrs.
Hooper addressing herself to the woman
who was complaining. "How do you
manage about tha'?”
“Well we take a morning and evening
paper,” replied the woman, “a city pa
per in the morning and the local paper
ut night, that makes 17 cents a week for
the city paper—2 cents a day and 5 cents
for Sunday and $1 a month for the local
papers which makes 42 cents a week Just
for newspapers.” 1
“You can easily see that you can’t af
ford that,” said Mrs. Hooper, “so you'll
have to cut out the city paper and take
only the local evening paper which will
be about 25 cents a week.”
“Oh, we couldn't possibly do that,” ob
jected the woman. “My husband couldn’t
live without his morning paper and be
sides if you are going to economize why
not cut out the local paper and then
your newspapers will cost only 17 cents."
“.because,’' said Mrs. Hooper firmly, “it
is the duty of every citizen of Mayfield
to support its local enterprises, and we
have a very good local paper that carries
all the world and national and city news
that is fit to print so we are not deprived
of outside news by reading it atone. If
you can’t afford two newspapers I should
certainly say that the one published in
Mayfield is the one you should subscribe
to.”
“It would probably be able to become
a much better paper than it Is I suppose
if we all supported It,” hazarded Mrs
Chapin.
“That is exactly the idea." agreed Mrs.
Hooper, “and I hope the first adjust
ment to the ‘advancement’ item will be
to limit your newspapers to the local
one unless you can really afford to have
two. Now, how about magazines and
books ?”
The woman who had voiced her dlsbe
lief In the possibility of living within
the three dollars a week limit replied.
“We don’t subscribe for any magazines
but whenever either my husband or 1
see anything on the magazine counter!
at the drug store we bay It and it is
the same way with books."
“llow many of you get yonr magazine
literature that wny?" asked Mrs. Hooper
Nearly all the women raised their hands
with the exception of one who said: “T
subscribe regularly to a woman’s Jour
nel,” and her ausweit was duplicated by
two others.
“Well you’ll have tp stop that,” said
Mrs. Hooper, “and read your magazines
at the library. The fyie in Mayfield
subscribes to all the magazines and you
can take them home if you don’t want
to spend the time in thei reading room.
Why spend your own income for some
thing that the town provides for you
when you can’t afford it. I never buy a
magazine but Mr. Hooper and I read
everything in every t o of them each
month, and it is the same way with
books. We use the library all the time
because our book shelf at home cannot
possibly be added to except by the oc
casional volumes that members of the
family receive for Christmas or birth
day presents.”
"Then we understand that the item for
newspapers and periodicals should be
cut to 25 cents or thereabouts,” agreed
the assembled women.

urday Is:

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
" Dr David Corr ————
You remember In the last story, just
when I had to leave off, that Puss Junior
was making a call on the Pussy Cat who
lived next door to Mr. Tittlemouse.
And while he sat there a big bay
wagon drove by, and when the farmer
saw our small traveler, he called out,
“Don't you want to ride with me?” And
of course Puss jumped up on the seat
beside him. and then the farmer said
“Git-ap!” to the horses and away they
went.
'"l’m surprised that you haven’t an
automobile hay wagon,” said Puss. “In
New Mother Goose Land everything Is
so up-to-date.”
“I have one,” laughed the farmer, “but
it is in the shop for repairs.
“I like old things best,” sighed Puss.
“You know, I’ve had a harder time in
New Mother Goose to find
back to my dear father, the famous iss
in Boots, than I did to find him in the
first place in Old Mother Goose Country.
You see, for a long time Mother Goose
herself took me with her on her Gander.
Then, I had a good gray horse that
carried me faithfully for many, many
miles.”
“Cheer up, my friend,” said the farmer.
“What you need just now is a good
supper and a night’s rest. that
you’ll feel like anew cat. You shall
come home with me.”
"Thank you,” said Puss Junior, and
he cuddled up to the kind farmer, and,
would you believe it? he was soon fast
asleep, and he never woke up until the
farmer’s wife lifted him off the seat
and exclaimed, “John, where did you
get such a cute cat?” But what John
replied you must wait to hear in the
next story, for I have no more room in
this.—Copyright, 1921.
