Entered at the Postofflee in Salem; FREE MILK FOR SOUTH SALEM SCHOOL CHILDREN Free milk to every child in the three lower grades of Lin coln school This is the very laudable object of voluntary subscription lists now being circulated in South Salem- Money is being liberally given. This money will constitute a "milk fund" which will be in charge of Julia I verson. treasurer of the Parent-Teacher's Association of South Salem under the di rection of which the movement is being carried on. It is lanientable but true that in every community there are. people wh are financially unable to provide proper food for their children. There is still another class of parents who throughjignorance, or simple neglect, do not provide their children & with-1 the character of foods necessary for their physicalub'uilding. And there are also those children who, to use tneir, parents, words, "do not like milk." ' A recent canvass of the pupils of Lincoln school has dis closed the fact that a number of the pupils have no milk to drink at home. f These children are listless and undernour ished. They are underdeveloped physically, and do not pro gress properly in their school work. To correct this evil a half pint bottle of milk and a straw is to be given to each and every one of the pupils in the three lower grades 90 children at ten o'clock each morning. J : t The giving of this milk to. every child, whether needy or not, will avoid the humiliation which would unavoidably ac company the singling out of; the r needy ones and giving it to them alone- A drink of nice, pure, fresh milk will benefit every one of them whether they have plenty of milk at home or not And the straw why itH be a novelty that will teach them all to like milk and the writer ventures to say that every little tot will look forward anxiously for milk time each morning . jf .1 , . . . r : , They will soon acquire the milk drinking habit.

" ' . When thn t:y lias dried, pain as SALEM, OREGON A YEAR OF PRESIDENT HARDING 'When Senator Harding was nominated for President of the United States there arose a scream of dismay from cer tain persons who were afraid that the nominee would not have the "world touch" necessary for a grasp of the situa tion. There was a prevalent fear that, coming from Maron, Ohio, he didn't know about the ocean and the lands that lie beyond the seas. As one writer expresses it, the idea seemed to be that only by a fixed and habitual familiarity with the Hoboken docks could any statesman understand world prob lems. : But, alas, for all prophets! No President in the history of the White House has shown a wider, finer grasp of world politics than President Harding. The country editor from the little, one-horse Ohio city has the vision and the universal qualities of mind that distin guish great statesmen- . . Looking back over world events since the armistice,' it is clear that President Wilson saw with the narrow vision, of a "single-track" mind. President Harding has shown the wide vision of a.big, broad statesman. , . . The international policies of Mr. Wilson were lacking m constructive imagination. His remedy for establishing the future stability of world peace was to fuss around fixing the boundary lines between two bickering little Balkan states oroatpaf neA was bathtubs not boundaries- In or der to have his way in this he threw aside the problems of the Pacific as being of no significance. President Harding, on the other hand, had the frg vision to see that the old order had passed. He was statesman enough to realize that the interminable squabbles in the Bal kans which had led to wars without number were dead. He saw -that the events of the European war had forever killed the "Balkan question," that the center of world interest had shifted to the Orient. ., . ' Instead of following Mr. Wilson's strange idea that Shan tung was but an inconsiderable straw in ; the wind compared with the boundary line between two Balkan back yards, Mr. Hardm saw that it is in the Orient that danger threatens- And he directed his curative efforts to the seat qf the dU As6a result, the world is now as securely fixed in a status of peace as at any time ior ine ship subsidies as the crucial point in the new era that is open ing for America- a fn uroiect herself into Eur yps impulse. idea is foth station to attend to its own affafrs S sJ ?fr as that Is practically possible- but to equip SursdveTwUh the. merchant marine that is so essential to our absolutely necessary overseas activities.

It liked to look down on the neat cottages, the well kept yards, the quiet streets with the big trees nodding to each other along the parking. Most of aff however; the bell liked to see the children come run ning In from the playground at its call. It liked to watch the bright aproned girls and (ousle-headed boys chasing each , other around the schoolhouse or rushing out pell-mell and vanishing in all di rections, as soon as school was OUt. ',..'.'."' The bell had, however, one par ticular favorite. This was a boy who lived about a block away from the school. The backyard of the little house he lived in faced toward the schoolhouse. He-never rame early; to play football or baseball with the other ; boys in the schoolhouse yard. His mother did washings, and he had far too many things to do around the honse to have much time to play. The bell, f rota Its tower, saw him filling the wash tubs, in the morning, carrying in baskets, put ting up clotheslines. He even got his own breakfast, and sometimes the bell would' see him busily sweeping" off the back porch and walk before he snatched up his cap and books and dashed toward the schoolhouse. .: . i Then one morning, : the ;belt watching anxiously, saw his favor ite start from his house just as the be? 1 knew It was time It wbr bHnjr niT!.

There have been few days dur tng the last six weeks when the European or Asiatic cables have not carried dispatches relating to revolts or riots in some part of India. It is not the serious ness of the dispatches, but the cont'.nuity, that is disquieting. The waters of India are troubled. A population eqnal to that of Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy and Japan combined HTTMOl PLAT womx Edited by John EL Mfllar er school for being tardy. The old school bell felt some one give a tug at the rope which made it ring. The boy was just crossing the road. The bell stuck its clapper tight against its side and swung to and fro without a sound. The boy was running across the school yard now. i wonder wbaf s the matter with the bell." said the principal "It didn't ring at first this morn Ing. Ill have to have it looked after." But the bell, looking hap pily out over Grainville, didn't hear what the principal said, and wouldn't have cared anyway. TODAY'S PUZZLE SAER, WECH, EERH, SEWT Rearrange groups to make proper words, then arrange the words so that they form a word square. Answer to yesterday's: Nome, Sitka. "What do you charge, doctor?

If yon get angry, count fifty before you start a fight, but if you start a fight don't stop count ing until the other fellow is licked if you have to keep on to a mil Hon. f , , , , soot.- Kr. is la a ferment. By some alchemy a slumbering people, numbering 200,060,000 souls, has been awak ened. It is a sluggish giant that is beginning to stretch his limbs. Should he bound to bis feet and seize a club, what would hap pen? That question cannot be dis missed lightly. It concerns a great deal more than the fate of British rule in India. We have seen the sleeping Russian giant aroused and the human havoc that followed his awakening. The Chinese 'giant eroping blindly about among the graves of his ancestors, bis old eyes blinded by the glare of the torch of liberty. And these three backward peoples represent half the population of the earth. Western ideas have permeated the marshes of the Indus and the Ganges. Numbers of the Indian youth have gone to England for' the purpose of securing; an edu cation ; and the soldiers who have returned from the great war have told of peoples who live without suffering the grinding poverty that hangs like a pall over the greater part of India. So the natives are revolting against ex isting conditions. Gandhi has told them that their foreign rul ers are to blame, that if India was self-governing, much of the present misery would disappear. Those on the outside who view ' the situation in the light of his tory' know that India is suffering from over-population, that there are more mouths than food to fill them. If half the population could be carried somewhere else there might be an alleviation of the condition of those who re mained. But where are they to go? What land is prepared to re ceive them? What could self government do while the over population 'continues? And what would the natives of India do, divided as they are by conflicting religions and feuds a thousand years old. if the British govern ment were to pack Its valise and return to Downing street? - British intervention alone has kept the Moslems and the Hin dus from flying at each other's throat, for their mutual hatred Is ven fiercer than, their resent m'ent against the foreigners. If British rule were to collapse -as suddenly and completely as did the Kerensky government in Rus- sliUhere is every probability that the condition of the people of India would he as horrible three years hence as is that of the Rus sian peasants at the present time. Giving western Ideas and de sires to the people of India with out first giving them the intelli gence to assimilate the ideas and the means to gratify their desires would be as deadly as giving them wood alcohol. The average cost of living under the American gov ernment is ten times that In In dia. Is it going to ameliorate the condition of the native population to give them longings without supplying the things necessary to satisfy them? A well informed newspaper cor respondent says that to raise the standard of living In India pro duction must be doubted or the population must be cut in half. That is a statement of econom ic truth that all the mouthings of all the demagogues in the world cannot change. It Is pos sible that an uprising, fomented and financed by the enemies of Great Britain, might destroy Brit ish rule. But what would come after? Look at the fate of the Russian people, who were made self-governing before they were yet capable of self-government. and answer.

RADIOTELKPIIOXY Radiotelephony, a marvel the age is being organized of In southern California under the su pervision of the Pacific Radio Trade association tor practical adaptation as an educational med ium for places of business and the home. Radiotelephony has come to stay and in no sense will it handi cap or interfere with other estab lished methods of communication. The commercial telephone is not to be put but of commission and the land service of the telegraph will continue in full Importance. There are certain reasons why the radiotelephone cannot sup plant radiotelegraphy, the tele graph or the telephone. The hu man roice cannot be adapted with the accuracy and efficiency of the arc code of either the radiotele graph or the telegraph, and as yet there is no method whereby the . call of a rodiotelephone sta tion can bo recorded to attract at tention to the fact that commun ication with a given station is de sired. On the other .hand, the radio telephone is not to be considered in the light of a fad or a toy, for it opens a definite field of edu cational research, the value of which has already been acknowl edged by the government and by the. public. What the phonograph has added to the joy of living the radiotelephone is destined to aug ment and its .benefits will accrue without encroaching on the field of, the phonograph. Psychologically its effect 'on the com'.ng generation is already far reaching, for there are hundreds of thousands of youth through out the United s States who are daily studying and usitrg radio telephone sets. Many a farm and city home in the Salem district has its nucleus of radio fans and If you want to learn facts about radio go to some lad, to be found in every neighborhood, and you will find that he can tell you .more In ten minutes than columns of space could convey. , Radiotelephony has made pos sible the voice contacts with an audience of thousands and tens of thousands without the neces sity of assembling humanity un der one roof. It is pre-eminently a home acquisition, bringing to the fireside of the family circle news, mUsic and other attrac tions. In "this respect time alone will prove the far-reaching effect of this new marvel. HIS SP11UT STILL UVES A $20,000 auto and six brown stone mansions in Petrograd were owned by Oscar Payor a few years ago. He was a multi-millionaire, the leather tanning kin? of Russia. The: Bolsheviks seized his prop erty and money. Payor now arrives in Boston. He worked his way across the At lantic, shoveling coal in the en gine room ot the Norwegian tteamer Corona. ; People who think they have had hard luck should compare their lot with Payor's. 'j. Is he discouraged? . No. He washes the coal dust off his hands and announces' ' he will begin working at the bottom and one of these days may again be a mil lionaire. Detroit Free Press. BREAKING AWAY When the soviet government of Russia sends an agent or repre sentative into another country the emissary never wants -to return. It appaers that if a Russian can get oat of Russia with a few ko pecks In his rest he Is glad to kiss the old land goodbye. He never wants to see Russia again'. They are even suspicious that if Lenin went to the Genoa conference with the Russian crown jewels his luggage he might decide f"1 rmmw snl mm r.n.' nt i. tof bleak.- Moscow, or Petrograd with the chance of being shot by some peevish peasant. There are 9 , 0 0 0,0 0 0 boisterous Bolsheviks who would like to be ambassador to Washington. It isn't so much that they jrant to represent Rus sia as to get away from It. Am erica looks mighty good to a Rus sian in these days. Russia is the land without hope. There is at least hope in America for any man who can find a foothold. .
