PAGE NUMBER TWO
WEED OUT THE LOAFERS
Oklahoma City recently k tested
unemployment by demanding that
an hour or two of labor be given
in return for meals. Such a policy
brought forth a welcome hegira
states the Daily Oklahoman, for it
required but a few days to solve
the unemployment problem in so
far as professional idlers were con
cemed. As soon as loafers learned
that they had to work for their
food and were faced with the
choice of working or starving they
left for other places.
As the Galveston News asserts
in citing Governor Sterling’s ex
perience with the spokesman for a
delegation purporting to represent
farmers and unemployed: “In
more than one instance unemploy
ment agitators have shown mark
ed distaste for work when offered
ah opportunity to earn a living by
working. And beyond question the
country is infested with bums who
are only too content to live on
public generosity.”
Undoubtedly the panhandler has
made the most of the opportunity
to appeal to public sentiment
Unemployment has been great
enough without adding to the
number. The Tulsa World com
ments that men, asking individ
uals on the street for the means
to secure food, when led to eat
ing places promptly disappear—
money was what they wanted. It
is not unusual, when no money is
tendered, for mendicants of this
stripe to pass on muttering curses
and threats.
Professional beggars and idlers,
according to police departments of
large cities, from a considerable
proportion of those at the soup
kitchens and bako shops, seeking
food intended for the worthy.
There are normally 1,500,000 peo
ple in this country unemployed in
good times. Most of them would
not work if they had work. So it
is desirable, in any analysis made
of actual distress and in all meas
ures taken to bring about relief
to separate the parasite from the
industrious man who should be
given work whenever it is possible.

T HE thousands of letters re
ceived in the $50,000 Camel
cigarette contest, advertised
in newspapers from coast to coast,
were guarded in the same manner
as huge gold shipments. Photograph
shows contest mail being loaded
into an armored truck at the Win
ston-Salem, N. C., postoffice under
guard for transportation to the of
fices of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company. Charles Dana Gibson,
noted artist and publisher of Life,
Ray Long, president of Internation
al Magazine Company and Editor of
Cosmopolitan Magazine, and Roy
Howard, chairman of the board of
the Scripps-Howard newspapers,
were judges of the contest which
called for answers to the question,
“What recent change has been made
in the wrapping of the Camel pack
age containing twenty cigarettes
and what are its advantages to the
smoker?” The huge response to
the contest announcements proved
anew the great responsiveness of
the public to newspaper advertising.

More than
73,000 miles in
a New Ford
THE substantial worth of the new Ford is reflected in
its good performance, economy and reliability; Its
stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in
sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy
extra burden on the automobile.
In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was
driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a
difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low
and practically the only expense for repairs was for new
piston rings and a new bearing for the generator.
The car carried an average load of 1200 pounds of
mail and was driven 250 miles daily. “The Ford has
never failed to go when I was ready," writes one of the
three mail carriers operating the car. “The starter did
the trick last winter even at 34 degrees below zero. The
gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a
trailer whenever I have a bulky load."
Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory
performance. Every part has been made to endure — to
serve you faithfully and well for many thousands o£
miles.

Future School
Programs
“It is entirely within the facts
to say that, among all the enter
prises of the people, no other out
ranks that of education either in
its size or in its potential results.
Every day there goes into the el
ementary, secondary, collegiate,
technical and professional schools
of this Nation practically one-fifth
of our entire population,” writes
Dr. Payson Smith, Massachusetts
Commissioner of Education, in the
United States Daily. He continues
in part:
“We may, with great pride, noto
the achievements of the past. It is
possible even to foresee, at least to
some extent, what the schools of
the future will be. It is clear that
those schools will place increasing
emphasis upon the individual
child and his needs. Fixed and
definite courses of study making
exactly the same requirements of
every child are already being dis
carded in favor of more flexible!
programs that make allowance for
the infinite varieties of taste, tal
ent and capacity which exist
among children.
“The schools of the future, pro
fiting by the lessons of the past,
will place less stress upon prepara
tion and more upon growth and de
velopment. The concern of educa
tion will increasingly be to bring
to bear upon the child those in
fluences and agencies which will
ihelp him to attain the highest
physical, mental, and moral sta
ture which it is possible for him
to reach. Observant parents are
finding that the schools are or
ganizing their work so that these
ends may be reached.
“The old-fashioned school, whose
praises are so often sung, deserved
many of the good things that were
said of it. Its most enthusiastic
admirers, however, would be com
pelled to admit that its instruction
in matters of immediate concern
was often far more theoretical
than it was practical.
“Take, for example, the matter
of health. All will agree that an
education which develops the
mind at the expense of the body
may be of doubtful value in con
tributing to a life of happiness and
usefulness. It should be, there
fore, a source of satisfaction that
the modern school is paying so
much attention to the develop
ment of play and games in which
all can take part and in bringing
children to understand how to
care for those bodies which are the
temples of mind and soul.
“Among all the contributions to
be made through education, there
is none more important than that
of sound moral character. Schools
everywhere, both public and priv
ate, are accepting a major chall
enge of the present day which is
that of bringing youth into the
most intricate social and industrial
life that the world has ever known
armed with those powerful weap
ons which alone will be sufficient,
namely, sincerity, straightforward
ness, thoughtfulness, honor, recog
nition of the rights of others, and
a zeal for justice.
“Every well-wisher of America
must rejoice that the schools of
our Nation are bending their ef
forts so vigorously to programs of
character education. Let it not be
supposed that this work is being
done in a purely academic fashion.
Every recitation, every exercise and
demonstration, every game on
play-ground and recreation field
contributes each its opportunity
for the development of these char
acteristics of which the world will
always stand in so great need.
“In greater degree than in the
past, our schools of the future will
help young men and women to
find the vocations for which they
are adapted and will help to train
them for their life work. The in
dustrial life of our age is so com
plex and intricate that youth
stands perplexed in the face of the
?reat question as to what work he
s best fitted to do and how to get
nto that work after he knows what
le wants to do. This means, of
course, that opportunities for
:rade, technical, and professional
education must be greatly in
creased.”

A WARNING
Fertilizer Dealer
No. 3
in a Series appearing in this newspaper
T HIS is no year to take chances. If you are
tempted to use “any old” fertilizer be
cause it costs less, don't do it! Most of all,
your crops need nitrogen—natural nitrogen—
and that means Chilean Nitrate.
I’ve arranged for a big supply of Chilean Ni
trate in new 100 lb. bags. It’s cheaper than it
has been for years. Better get your order
in now, so you won’t be sorry later on.
rrn 1
i
C HILEAN NITRATE is original “Soda”
—the natural nitrogen fertilizer that has
been used for a hundred years in the South
with best results. It increases yield and qual
ity of every crop you grow. It’s indispensable
as a side or top dressing to insure against loss.
And when you order your fertilizer, be sure
to say Chilean Nitrate to your dealer. That
one word, “Chilean,” is your protection and
your dealer’s too. Chilean means the real thing
—the nitrate all crop champions use. Remem
ber the two kinds—Original Chilean (Crystal
line) and Champion Brand (Granulated) both
natural nitrate.
