INVEST I N SCHOOL DAYS School days start again, and par ents have been confronted with the age-old problem of whether to keep the children' In school or let them go their way. Many people feel that high school is as complete an education as the average young person needs; many parents have difficulty in getting their children to finish high school. And so many ask each other, "Just what good is school anyway? Look at all the college graduates that are unemployed!" , Personally I believe in education. The more we know of life and his tory and geography, the better able we are to enjoy life to its fullest. Young people in school never realize what learning means; but in after life we hear them say, "Oh, if only my parents had MADE me stay in school!" Too late they feel unpre pared to meet life on an equal basis with their neighbors. V And that, I think, is what we owe our schildren. We owe them the right to live on an equal basis with other people. We want them to be able to take the best that life of fers. We want them to be able to stand up to the best people and speak without shyness, without self consclousness, without embarrass ment at not feeling "as good." Education^ ? particularly college education ? gives young people that sureness. Education gives them the ability to express themselves as well as their neighbors; it gives them the advantage over their uneducated neighbors to grasp the best oppor tunities. Recently we met a young woman who had won a trip to Europe in a contest. However, she would not take advantage of it because she did not feel equal to meeting the sort of people accustomed to travel ing. "I never had any education," she admitted, "and I'd feel very stu pid among teachers and business women with whom I could not car ry on an intelligent conversation." Surely her mother must feel that she did a very bad Job in raising a daughter so badly equipped to get the best out of life. If we want to feel that we are doing all we can for our children we will see that they get as fine an education as can be provided. ? Ex. o Birthday Dinner The children, grandchildren, and friends met on Sunday, Oct. 15th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Shotwell of Leasburg, this being their mother's birthday.

MILLIONS SPENT EACH YEAR FOR FOREIGN LIQUOR By LUCY M. COBB "The Wall Street Journal of Sep tember 14, estimates that 25 million gallons of whiskey have been bought in Scotland and Ireland to be ship ped to the United States if the 18th Amendment is repealed. Other pap ers add the purchase in England at 35 million, making 60 million in the British Isles, and 40 million in Canada, making a total of 100 mil lion gallons. At $2 a gallon this is quite a tidy sum of money. This means that big business and very rich people, large numbers of them in big cities, think they will make large profits in selling this liquor. America On A Big Drunk The liquor people have quit say ing that there will be less drinking if you flood the country with 11-! quor. This is so ridiculous that they ! have about abandoned that talk. As well say that the way to avoid im morality is to repeal the laws against prostitution and fill all our territory with prostitutes and solicit ing men, for if liquor comes the whole territory will be full of liquor salesmen, wholesale and retail. One of the wet lawyers said to me re cently; The amendment is going to be repealed, and America is going on a big drunk. I am not going to drink it, but I am going to cash in. There will be more automobile wrecks and murders and things of that sort, and man, it is going to bring big business to the lawyers.' Men Ruined by Whiskey I have seen too many men ruined by whiseky to ever favor it; bring: ? FEMALE WEAKNESS ? Baltimore, Md. ? "My nerve* were on edge.

NRA and Personal Liberty They say it is taking away per sonal liberty. But, nothing like the NRA. We all joined in working hours and conditions which do not effect the moral life generally, then why should we not be willing to forego our appetites, or to forego making a profit out of some poor fellow's misery and disgrace and give up the liquor traffic. Wo Economy In Liquor Tax I take no stock in the economy ar gument that whiskey taxes will raise lots of revenue and run our schools and government. Whiskey as a pub lic proposition is a liability and not an asset. It will increase our courts and decrease the workers' income. Corruption Was Rampant I have always been a Democrat, and my father before me. After the civil war, he was disfranchised while the negroes voted. Whiskey flowed through the state capltol, currup tion was rampant, and the state, for a while surrendered her soverignty to outsiders, who wished to prey on her ? much like they want to get rich now by selling us this 100 mil lion gallons of liquor." ?J Hope To Prevent Evic tion On Farms Where Foreclosures Are Near Morvrenthan Wants Any Farmer Threatened With Ouster To - Let Him Know Washington, Oct. 4. ? Hope that no more fanners would be forced off mortgaged farms was expressed this week by a delegation of middle westerners representing the Nation al Farmers' union and the National Farmers' Holiday association, after a conference with Henry Morgen thau, Jr., governor of the farm cred it administration. They said Morgenthau had au thorized them to announce that any farmer who was in danger of fore closure or eviction might telegraph him ? collect ? and the case would be taken up directly with the cred Professional Cards DrJROBT.

When a man gets into Hanes, he can stoop and stretch without holding his breath. No pinching at the crotch and arm pits!

"If, for any reason;' any farmer is unable to prevent these occur rences after appealing to Governor Morgenthau, we ask that the farmer communicate with me, at Kanka kee, 111., or with the president of the National Farmers' Holiday as sociation in Des Moines," Kennedy said. The delegation said more fore closure cases were being filed in mid western states than at any time since the depression began; that any benefits from higher farm prices were cancelled by greater increase^ in tost of commodities farmers must buy; and that farm Income had been reduced further by dam age of drought, chinch bugs, and other crop-destroying influences. HOME AGENTS MEET EARLY NEXT MONTH Home demonstration agents em ployed by the State college agricul tural extension service will hold a conference at the college on Novem ber 7, 8 and 9 according to Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, state agent in charge of this work. The purpose of the conference, Mrs. McKimmon says, is to take an inventory of work done in 1933 and to make plans for aiding a larg er number of farm women next sea son. "In our emergency canning work this summer we found a large num ber of women who had never before had a part in our home demonstra tion clubs and we are anxious to ex pand our services to meet the needs of these women," she said. "To do this, we are planning to ask our trained leaders to do much of the work in the clubs now organized so. that the county agents may be free ' to reach some of the unorganized j women who need our aid. We shall j also make plans to have leaders reach some of the unorganised wom en In their own communities." The outstanding feature of home demonstration work next season will be reaching the woman who have not been reached heretofore. Not only does Mrs. McKlmmon plan to use the home agents and the train ed leaders to do this, but she ex pects to use her specialists from the college to go before these women and give them the benefit of dem ? ? onstration work. At tint the elm? > ? Ury demonstrations will be made to be followed u rapidly as possible | with the more advanced work which I older home demonstration club* members are now mastering. Another feature of the conference ; in November wlU be the dally ! round table discussions by which each agent will benefit and learn from the experiences of the other. | Mrs. McKlmmon said.
