NEW CITY MARKET.

•4 ^7

On the first' day of the new city market on Ohio street at the intersection of Third nearly every one of the 8 tails provided "was occupied. Since the days of the old market house In the lower floor of the city hall no established plan has been provided for this feature of city life. Elsewhere special attention has been paid to city markets and they have become a large part of the municipal plan. The start here has been well made. While the market may not effect an immediate and far-reaching reduction in the cost of living, it will encourage the gardeners and farmers of this section, and the choice products from the farms will more and more find tlpeir market here instead of being shipped to other cities. The market will not eliminate the middleman. The retailer and the Commission man will hardly And their business curtailed. It will operate to the direct benefit of the citizen who Visits the market and' gets first prices, £nd will eventually induce the farmer to more extensffve production. If the jclty administration and the county commissioners foster the plan so that It will be developed like similar institutions elsewhere they will have done the community a service.

no one good."' Two or three years ago a heroic effort was made to establish American styles. The public was exhorted to support the plan as a matter of national pride and patriotism. But habit Is strong, and it is easy to follow the line of least resistance. Our great merchants soon turned again to the accustomed foreign source of supplies, and a Parisian label in a hat or on coat collar lost nohe of Its attractiveness to the feminine mind. An American style movement inaugurated now would have all the advantage of being launched at the psychological moment With the foreign source of supplies temporarily cut off, and forefgn competition practically destroyed by the war, the creator of American styles has a field and an opportunity never before offered. If we haven't ideas or the gift to dress ourselves satisfactorily under the stress of recent events, we may as well make up our minds that we will always be in subjection to the ateliers of Paris. Here is a chance for anyone, 'who has original Ideas and artistic sense, to help oi^r merchants gain such a foothold that they can face foreign competition when the war is over. v."' v^v.

SELF-HELP.

Chief Bledsoe expresses the belief that the number of fires everywhere could be reduced fifty per cent If ordinary precaution was taken by employes against the dangers of fire The "safety first" slogan which one hears in nearly every city of the United States at the present time is one aspect of a movement to increase the personal welfare of. the individual by decreasing the liability to injury through the carelessness of a fellowman. The same spirit crops out In the "ten trade commandments" of the worker which are posted conspicuously here and there in factories where personal injuries and loss of life furnish unfortunate and—let it be frankly added—unprofitable incidents In the conduct of manufacturing operations.' The remainder "thou shalt not" gains added force when its value is expressed In terms of practice and dally experience rather than in the more vague language of ethical considerations. And accordingly there Is a telling force in such direct admonitions as the following, from a recent compilation for use In a factory: "Thou shalt take no unnecessary risks, nor try to show off, nor play practical Jokes, for by thy carelessness thou mayest do Injury which will have effect unto the third and fourth generations to follow. "Remember thou are not the only one on the Job, and that other lives are just as important as thine own. "Thou shalt not throw matches or greasy waste on the floor, as a dirty worker is a clumsy worker, and a clumsy worker is a menace to his fel-low-workers."

These and similar timely suggestions, put in a form that is sure to attract notice, caruiot fail to promote the mutual and reciprocal interest of the employer and the employed.

ROOSEVELT'S CHANCE.

Colonel Roosevelt in his Missouri speeches is making it evident that he wants nothing more to do with tiie old guard leaders who nominated Taft at Chicago. Colonel Roosevelt says lhai while the republicans of Missouri halve been claiming that they purged themselves of the leaders who were responsible for the defeat of the progressive element of the party in the Chicago convention, he says he finds the same element dominant in the party's affairs even now. So, the colonel will likely open some fireworks when he speaks in Terre Haute Saturday-

Several months ago, when the plan for the reorganization of the republican party in this state was taken up, some of the leaders concluded that '.he best thing that could be done would be to try to make It appear that members of the old crowd, like Hemenway, Watson* Keallng and others, had been eliminated from the management.

This plan was formed to appease /.ie progressives who left the republican party two years ago because they did not like the leadership of the WatsonHemenway element. However, the plan has not succeeded "very well for the reason that it has been known all the way along that the old crowd leaders were active in the secret councils of the party, and that they were, in fact, directing all the big movements.

However, it was hoped by the leaders that it would not be necessary to call Watson and other members of the crowd Into the open to make speeches. For many years Watson and Hemenway have been the big drawing cards in the republican party, and It is now understood that in spite of the plan to keep them in the background it ^lill be necessary to call upon them to ma"ke many speeches during October in hope of rousing the interest which has been lacking with the republicans throughout the state. The progressive leaders who have heard the report that Watson and other old timers are to take the stump say that it shows conclus-. ively that the leadership of the republican party is just the same it was t\f years ago when more than half the members deserted it and voted for Roosevelt and Beveridge. It is a situation that probably wiil receive the

THE HARVEST ABROAD.

A correspondent of the Tribune writes to inquire the correctness of the report that a greater per cent of the engaged forces have been killed along the French frqntlijvthpi crted lat Setitysfcfurg, the great' battle of the civil war. ,V.

Conservative, estimates, places the losses of the -allies for the first five weeks of the war at 150,000 and those of the Germans for the same period at 200,000. According to the best information Germany has more than 2,000,000 men on her^varlous battle lines, so that in five weeks she has lost say 10 per cent of her engaged forces. The total number is appalling, yet by comparison the losses on either side halve not been heavy,. .In our own battle of Gettysburg there were 82,000 federals and 73,000 confederates engaged, and the total losses were federals 24,000, or 29 per cent, and confederates 20,450, or 28 per cent. At the battle of Sadowa, in 1866, the defeated. Austrians lost 44,400 out Of 21.6,000 engaiged, .or 21 per cent. At Waterloo, in 1815, the defeated French lost 24 per cent of the 124,000 men engaged, and the victorious allies 10 per.: qfciit pfstheir 214,0 00. In this case, however, little of the fighting was done by the Prussians, the brunt of the losses being borne by the British and Belgians, -At Zomdorf, In 1758, the Prussians had 37,'000 men and lost 11,000, or 30 per cent, while the Russians, with 50,000 meii, lost 24,000 or 48 per cent.

The loss of 200,000 men to the Jtaiser is not serious from^ a military standpoint. The war footing of the German army is 4,200,000 Therefore the losses are under five, per cent, and thanks to small calibre rifles' and1,aseptic surgery, half of the wounded will be back with their commands in a couple of months. 'In the meantime a word from the emperor will replajce vthem immediately with recruits from the large number of men fit for military duty, but not included in the" regular army.and reserves. German partisans say that if forced to do so Germany can raise, arm and equip 7,000,000' men.

It is announced on the market .page that meat prices are lower. See if you can't get your deafer to" read the market page and keep abreast of the news.

Gen. Coxey is reported as declaring that the national.banking system is all wrong. Yet, if*reports be true, it has served the general fairly well.

Now that Mrs. Bryan'has indorsed suffrage, will the congressional union's hostility to the patty in. power, be assuaged?

And how will the Russians change, the dachshunds honored name, if they catch him without a ^vftite flag?

The annual meeting of the Curry's Prairie association of Baptist churches was held Wednesday, beginning at 10 o'clock, at Mt! Zion church, about one mile north of Youngstown. Rev. Clark R. Parker, of the First Baptist church, is moderator of the association, which is made up of the pastors and members, of some twentyfive churches in Vigo and adjoining counties. The association was organized in 1835, and has held meetings annually, since then.

Rev. J. L. Weeks, pastor of Mlt. Zion church, will lead in the devotional exercises, which opened the session. Rev. George B. Weeks preached the opening sermon in the absence of the regular appointee, Rev. James Paddock, who was unable to attend because of illness.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY. rb«

Thursday, September 24, 1914.

Astrology finds that this is rather a fortunate day. Early in the morning the sun exercises beneficent sway and late at night Uranus is friendly. Mercury is mildly adverse in the hou/s when planetary influence is felt in business affairs.

Uranus wields an influence believed to be excellent for tasks and occupations that demand unusual powers of concentration and extraordinarily strong mentality. It is declared by the ancients that under this rule "seekers should find, hidden things should be exposed and the searchers of truth should be successful."

As Mars is in Libra, the ruling sign of Austria, the prophesies' for that country are not cheering. Famine as well as a terrible increase in mortality is indicated for Vienna.

Great prosperity Is foretold for certain parts of Canada. Ottawa is under a particularly favorable sign.

The position of Saturii is held to be not altogether promising for the klnar and queen of England, who will not gain in popularity. A military hero will overshadow them in the hearts of the people, It is said.
