formation relative to local min ing development that is not be- j
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
GRAFTING UPLIFTERS
Some time ago the' commiss
ioner'of public welfare of New
York declared that many so
called charitable agencies di
vert to the use of their own
personnel at least 50 per cent
of the money collected from
the public.
This statement was made be
fore a conference of charities
and corrections, and coming
from such ' an authoritative
source is entitled to consider
ation.
Many “welfare” -campaigns
are conducted by professional
workers on a percentage basis,
whereby the promoters and
their associates reap great per
sonal benefits, according to the
commissioner. These “social
workers” are often only social
parasites, who exploit the gon
erpus impulses of the ordinary
citizen for their own profit and
glorification.
This should not deter chari
tably inclined persons from
giving to really worthy causes
through reputable agencies
like the Red Cross and Salva
tion Army, for instance, but it
should be a warning against
fly - by - night organizations
which exist principally for the
purpose of giving pseudo up
lifters an opportunity for easy
pickings.

GOLD STAR MOTHERS
t
This month the first contin
gent of Gold Star Mothers will
visit the graves of their sons in
France at the expense of the
United States government.
Wives of American soldiers
who are buried in France are
also eligible for these trips,
provided that they have’not re
married. According to the law
under which these pilgrimages
were authorized, there will be
opportunities for trips also in
1931 and 1932, so that those
concerned may chooae the year ;
most convenient for them.
By making provision for these
pilgiimages Congress did a
most worthy and patrfotic act. f
It is hoped that every Ameri
can woman who has a loved
one bmied “over there” may j
be able to take advantage of'
Ihe government’s generosity
in arranging the pilgrimages. I
WHY PRINT NEWSPAPERS?
i
The merchant who says that
everyone knows his place of i
business and what he has to j
sell and that he does not need
to advertise, can be found in
every community in the coun
try. This merchant also .avers
that customers come to him
when in need of goods, so!
why should he waste his mon
ay in advertising?
An answer to that question
las been made by a newsp^ner
'whose advertising man, no i
loubt, stumbled into places of j
business where the owner poss-1
assed that state of mind. This:
lewspaper answered the quest-;
on, “Why Should I Advertise,”
as follows:
‘ Of course the newspaper
man might say in rebuttal
Every one in this community
knows all that happens here,
>s what is the use of reporting
he news; what’s the use of
printing a newspaper? If the
jomunity can get along without
a newspaper, it can also get
along without a number of oth-1
ar things which are of no val
ue. The adults are educated "
and can teach the children,
.hus doing away with the need
of schools. The parents, being
religious, can train the younger
ones in the creeds, thus doing
away with ministers and the
churches. People can loan
Iheir money to one another and
thereby eliminate the banks.
They can swap their old cloth
/ 1
ng or learn how to make home
?puns, thereby greatly reduc
ng expenses and actually put
ting the clothing merchants
out of business.
All trade is based upon a de
sire for goods. Necessity is,
mostly, an augmented desire.
Advertising has the function of
reminding people of their re
quirements, but its greatest
function—a prime factor in all
progress and prosperity—i«
the creating of new desires;
thereby stimulating trade and
production and making for the
greatest possible degree of em
ployment.”
Just for Fun
No self-made man ever left
out the working parts.
England is becoming some

Americanism: Thinking i

In order that uplift may no

Fences Week” for Congress

It appears that the Farn
Board has greatly relievec
farmers who have to buj
wheat and cotton.
It might be disconcerting tc
some radio speakers if the}
could see the number of dial;
that are turned when they be
gin.
A professional says all bridge
fiends have an inferiority com
plex. He probably never sat ir
the same game with his wife
Mrs. McCormick of Illinois is
-aid to be “keen, alert and in
telligent,” which fact cast some
doubt on her qualifications foi
the Senate.
\
A scientist says that- move
ments of the big toe tell how
one’s mind is working. A young
fellow sometimes finds out how

working that way.

person to operate any device
that would interfere with radio
