IT DO BEAT ALL
Now it has developed thru an in-
vestigation at Washington, D. C.,
that a $200,000 whiskey deal was
consummated and that many of th
“higher-ups” were implic ated, in faci
greas sed” with rake- offs from the re
lease of the There
divies, the big fellows being paid in
cash while the bootleggers got theirs
What next?
A SAVING HERE
Many of our business men, in fact
every one in this section who has had
two telephones, the Bell and Inde
pendent, received the merger stor;
in last week’s Bulletin as a very wel-
come bit of news. It means that all
subscribers who have been paying
for two telephones, will get this
service for the cost of either one in
the future. The subscribers are pleas-
ed to learn that they are going to
save from $30 to $50 per annum.
At present there is quite a differ-
ence in the rates of these two com-
panies, the Columbia Company's
rates being the lower. After the
consolidation the rates of both tele-
phones will be the same.

COMMUNITY LOYALTY.
Have you ever stopped to consider
the fact that loyalty to community
interests is the highest form of pat-
riotism. Show us the man who is
loyal and true to every interest of
his own community and we will show
you in that same individual a man in
whom his country can repose abso-
lute confidence in any emergency
that calls for his allegiance.
On the other hand, the man who is
careless and unconcerned for the in-
terests of his community is most apt
to display the same spirit of indiff-
erence toward his government or his
state should any serious danger
threaten either.
Let us develop community loyalty
to the full—the highest possible form

A DO NOTHING SESSION,
Congress seems to be very busy,
yet all it is doing amounts to very
Little as far as its real work goes.
True, it is busy investigating and
probing and inquiring but the actual
problems of the country are getting
very little attention.
There are two chief reasons for
this situation. One is that the per-
sonnel of the congress is so evenly
divided politically that no one party
has a clear working majority so that
"it can accomplish what it wishes re-
gardless of the opposition. A second
one is that this is campaign year and
there is a disposition to make as
much political eapital as possible out
of the proceedings. The majority
party would like to direct the issues
of the session while the minority is
doing its best to turn things to its
advantage. Meanwhile the so-called
progressive group which holds the bal
ance of power is alert and sparring
2 for position.
The result is that the Congress is
in an uproar, in confusion, out of
which little definite or constructive
cen be expected at this session.

THE COST OF IRREGULAR
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Irregular school attendance caused
the waste of $250,0600,000, one-quar-
ter of the money spent for public
education in the United States in
1923, according to statist
the United States Bureau of
tion.

The people who paid the taxes
of this amount
and at the same time deprived their
own children of an average of two-
months schooling.
More than 22,000,000 children
were enrolled in the public schools of
the country and the schools were op-
en an average of about eight months.
Nearly 700,000 teachers were em-~
ployed and that number was suffi-
to instruet every child enrolled
every school day of the cight months

Bureau of Education. officials. Ths
wotal cost in all the States combined
was about one billion dollars. By al-
Ijwing their children to miss school

seem fair that parents shall raise
children, have them attend school
and cannot control or govern to the
extent of teaching them how to work
If it is a violation of the law to
have children assist their parents in
stripping tobacco at their homes
then to it is unlawful to have that
same child run errands, bring up :
