them by the missionaries and by thj
British rajah, also please noto type of
men whom England has always sent
to India, and their attitude towards
the IndlanH. Compare British admin

ian, French, Dutch, Belgian and Ameri
can, it is a most interesting stud;',
and if you enter upon it, you will be
a wiser man when you finish, and will
be a long way towards becoming a
student of world affairs.
Another warning don't take every
man's word as true. America Is
filled with a lot of tommy-rot against
the British Empire, and few Ameri
cans have at all a right idea and
knowledge of the Indian, his methods
and ways.
Let me answer the questions you
asked:
First, the Government and Educa
tion. The government both maintains
government schools, and helps priv
ate institutions by giving them grants
ln-aid for inalntainance, erection of
land, and purchasing of equipment. In
government schools the government
grant, and the fees of the pupils pay
all expenses. In private institutions
recognized by government, the fees
and the private donations make up
half of the budget. Government pays
the other half. Take for example, my
boys' day school government granted
mo half of what it cost me to run the
school last year.
'Government supports many pri
mary schools, middle schools, and in
every town of any size a government
high school. Besides these you will
find mission schools, Hindu schools,
Mohammedan schools, and other. priv
ato schools of all grades. Govern
ment sanctions grants to all of them
if they meet certain standards as set
forth in the code. It doesn't matter
whether the school is a primary or a
college, if it qualifies, it will receive
a grant.
In Calcutta, Allahabad, Madras, La
hore, and Bombay are universities,
which at present are examining and
degree granting only. They do little
If any teaching. The country is full
of mission, Hindu, Moslem, Sikh, etc.,
colleges. Each of these colleges are
afliliated with one of these five great
universities, which examines their
students, and grants degrees to them.
The only degree granting college in
India is the mission college founded
at Serampore during the Danish
period, and it grants degrees by power
chartered to it by a king of Denmark
or Sweden. When the British took
over the Danish possessions, they rec
ognized Serannore's charter in the
Treaty of Peace.
Thoso universities were chartered
by government about fifty years ago,
and then they filled the bill. But
their administration has become so
unsatisfactory and inadequate that
over a year ago government organ
ized a commission under the presi
dency of Sir Micheal Sadler, of Leeds
University, to make a study of condl
tions in Bengal, and especially Cat
cutta University, and to make Its re
port and recommendations. After a
year on the job, the Commission fin
ished Its work, and its report is just
off the press in thirteen, formidable
volumes. The commission d'd a great
work, and its report Is one of the
greatest educational documents of
modern times. In accordance with
the report, the educational system of
Bengal Is to be completely reorganized
and the other provinces are also tat
ing steps in acordance with the report.
All universities are to be unitary,
teaching, residential bodies, and such
universities are to be established in
every large educational center. The
Lucknow university Is now being or
ganized. Educationally, India Is also
in a transitional period.
Government Agency Strongest
"Government is up with and ahead of
any one In the solution of the social
and economic conditions and problems
In India. If you were here you would
realize that. ' We have a strong friend
In the government, and whenever any
reform Is asked for, and the people
really want it, government i3 only too
glad to help. You must remember,
however, that the government dare not
go contrary to the people. If the
people want liquor shops closed, gov
ernment closes them. If they will
have them, they will have them in
the U. S. A., or in India. Government
is with us in the fight for prohibition
in India. And it is notgoing to be
many years until India is going to be
dry. Ia this I am thinking that she
will beat the Isles.
"Government is tackling the agricul
tural problems, maintains technical
i.aJ scientific schools. Bat I marvel
that government does as much as they
do when the people are so uninter
ested and unwilling to exert them
selves. Remember that the vast ma

Mary Miles Winter in "Anne of Green
Gables?" Surely the little Anne her
self was no sweeter. In this ulr lure
which is being shown at one of die lo
cal movie houses, little Anne Is the
Inmate of an orphan asylum, and her
life is much like the lives of other
children in similar institutions. Her
uniform was like that worn by the oili
er Inmates, her food was the same, her
little white iron bed was identical
with the others. But Anne was not
the same. Anne powjHsed an imagin
ation, and a vivid (wie. It was I his
imagination that spared her many a
lonesome hour. In spite of the fact
that Anne was never lonesome, she
had a keen desire to really belong to
someone. Her opportunity came unex
pectedly one day, and Anne found her
self on the train enroute to Mat'hew
and Marilla Cuthbert. Now Mirilla
and Matthew sent to the asylum for a
boy to help around the farm and lo aid
Matthew in his lail tasks. Inngine
their surprise when n girl stepped
from the train instead of a boy. They
decided to keep her until (hey could
communicate with authorities. For
some reason or other, after Anne had
been with them for a short time, they
were loath to send her away again, and
so Anne was duly installed as a perma
nent resident of Green Gables. She
had a sweet lovable disposition, but
was also in possession of a fiery tem
per which was very vnuch in evidence
at times, much to her sorrow. Anne
grows into a beautirul woman, . and
then she did what so many others have
done fell in love. It is then that her
real troubles and heart aches begin.
Anita Stewart is a screen favorite
the world over, and her performance
in. "Old Kentucky" only tends to add
many more names to her already long
list of admirers. Madge Briefly is a
Kentucky girl, with all of the Ken
tucky characteristics. She has -i big
heart, and is loyalty personified, al
though untutored in the ways of the
world. Into the blue grass regions
litics Frank Layson, with a hunting
party. Madge realizes how little she
knowf, and how poorly dressed she is
in comparison with the ot,her women.
Madge is practically Engaged to
another man, a neighbor, to whom she
is bound by a blood vengance.. Her
lather and the father of the man to
whom she is engaged weit killed by
the same man. Sometimes dreams
come true outside of story books, and
the first tiling Madge knew, she had
met yuung Layson, and was madly in
love with him. Circumstances ar
ranged themselves so thaf she was
invited to the city to visit his fam
ily. Her cup of happiness is just
about running over, when another
guest at the Layson home, who is
also in love with Layson, points out
to Madge, that she is not the other wo
men, and that Layson will never marry
her. Madge believes this, and is about
lo steal back to her mountain home,
when she is forced to remain by a very
unexpected happening.
"The Price Woman Pays" is one of
the most sensational pictures that has
been screened in Lincoln for pome
time. It shows the pitfalls awaiting
every girl who does not follow the
paths of virtue, and who will not lis
ten to the warnings of others. The
picture shows two girls who have car
ried on a flirtation with two young
men whom they have never seen be
fore. They make an appointment to
meet the men later in the evening, but
one of the girl's mother suspects that
something is amiss, and questions her
daughter. Caught in a falsehood the
girl confesses everything, and is given
the book "Faust" to read. From this
story she learns a lesson, and refuses
to keep the date. The other girl will
not listen to her friend, and is soon
on her way to the city, with one of
the men who has promised to marry
her. Her experience there, and the
way in which she learns that virtue is
the only thing in the world worth
while, teaches a lesson that is not soon
forgotten.
superstition and caste tradition. There
are a few Indians who make a great
noise in India, in Europe, and in
America. But they are so hopelessly
few that they are as nothing. Beware
of Anne Besant and her gang, and
those men and women who are now
stumping England. It is absurd, the
much for India. She has given to
India the best of her manhood. She is
still willing to give. But there is a
new spirit in India today, and if the
rank nationalist had his way every
white face would disappear from the
land today, and the back door would
be or"net , to Japan. The minute
India, takes her own fate Into ber own
hands, that minute the Japs will stop
in, and then, you white races of the
westlands BEWARE."

"Since I changed over from solid tires to Goodyear Cord Tires,
my motor trucking to Omaha, 31 V2 miles, has improved tre
mendously. Inow deliver livestock in less than half the time
and with shrinkage greatly reduced. At 15,000 miles, my
Goodyear Cord Tires look welt able to travel much farther."
Roy Stokes, Rural Motor Express, Loveland, Iowa
HERE is a case, like many others,
where the traction and cushion
ing of pneumatics helps farmers to get
better prices by making safer and more
dependable deliveries.
The scarcity of help is not such a handi
cap to these farmers because they have
thrown off the other handicap of slow
hauling, either by teams or on solid
truck tires.
They haul more loads per day on pneu
matics without additional hands and
also get more work from their power
driven machinery because a truck on
pneumatic tires is the quickest feeder
for this machinery.
The development of Goodyear Cord
construction, extending over many
years, has made the pneumatic princi
ple most effective because it has given
to the Goodyear Cord Tire a remark
able toughness.
Authentic information, showing how
farmers save drudgery and increase
income with pneumatic-tired trucks,
can be obtained from the nearest
Goodyear Truck Tire Service Station
or by writing to The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company, at Akron, Ohio.
