MERCHANTS ON £UARD.

®v 5/The* retail merchants in setting out to savo the buying public, from the mischief worked l?y fraudulent advertisers are fulfilling a public service, the need for which has existed for years. While such imposition on the public is outlawed, the individual cases are usually trtval, or at least of not an importance to justify the individual to carry the burden of prosecution. For this reason Buch practices have existed with impunity and thousands of dollars have been filched from the buying public. The offenders in nearly every case have been outside concerns, fly-by-night enterprises whose schemes would be short-lived and whose responsibility would be nil. They would be of a frequency, however, sufficient to deprive the home merchant of a large volume of trade to which he was legitimately entitled, and would take out of the channels of business here an important sum of money. The most flagrant case was that wherein agents recently appeared here purporting to sell the salvage of a wrecked steamship. They offered all kinds of household goods, and took house-to-house orders amounting to considerable business. The fraud was so palpable that the scheme was epeposed before the money for the supposed "salvaged" goods got Into the hands of the plotters. With the merchants vigilantly on guard in the future, such imposition on the people will be impossible, and the results will redound to the benefit not only of the home merchant, but to the buying public as well. The merchants can accomplish by their methods results, which to the officers of the law, would be impossible in these, cases.

i^THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS.

A news item in the Tribune yesterday told how Uncle Sam had twenty S millions of dollars ready with which to enable the farmer of this country. to start his crops to market. Onethird of this sum is to go to the south to help the cotton, farmer. This function was formerly performed by the private banker. His limitations, however, made the service imperfect, costly and inadequate. It touched so closely to the nation's food supply that Uncle

Sam hit on the plan of regional reserve banks. Every year the farmer markets a big drop there is trouble In marketing it.

In some localities this trouble is marked. In others It 1s not so much so. After a winter of continual expenditure, and a summer of hard work, harvesting time comes and finds the farmer without his means necessary for sending his crops to the market. Bankers and private individuals have helped out this problem before. Now the government Is about to take a hand. The government has announced itself as ready and willing to provide funds for the farmer to enable him to send his crops to market. Nor is this All. The gov ernment is also going to give its advice —the advice of Its experts—to the farmers, to enable him to market his crops most advantageously. H-

This is in line with bringing the government and the farmer closer together. The success and prosperity of the rural community spells the same for the city and the nation. That is why it is vital that the farmer be given every assistance possible by the offl cials. W "0-

When the reserve bank was founded It was announced that it would be a boon to the farmer, in that it would plaee him in position to secure money easier, when money was needed. This is Just what the government is about to make available. Through the re glonal banks the government has placed plenty of money at the disposal of the farmer, thus throttling the speculators and gamblers.

Money and advice wiil be used unsparingly to check any wild variations in prices, especially in the cotton market. And the reserve banks, through the regional banks, will be the potent factor In following out this policy of the government.

THE CITY—A DREAM.

Mayor Baker, of Cleveland, is ah idealist. But he has also been an intensely practical mayor. He has been hampered, of course, as all public of ficials are, through our political system and through the bickerings of the politicians. But he is looking forward to the time when he will be a private citizen and can become even more effective in helping to create the ideal city than he has been as mayor. He retires from office Jan. 1, and Is not a candidate for re-election. "My dream is not for it city with millions of inhabitants," he says. "Nor is it for a city of immense Industries, except Industries regulated to help the life of the people instead of crushing it. The city, must become a community of people conscious of themselves and their importance as citizens."

And then this intelligent idealist gazed out of the window into the pass-, ing throng. He studied the characters individually a moment each, then collectively, and, still gazing into the throng, he said: "The dream-city I see will be a city of lower death rates, sanitary regulations, healthy recreations for everybody, decreased sickness and education —broader educations of living peacefully, healthfully and fully. It will be an education of the mind, the hand and the heart. "V "There will come a time when people will pay their taxes more willingly than they spend any other money. They will be proud of the clt and as proud of being citizens of it as the ancient Romans were proud of the Eternal City."

dreams—dreams with something back of them in the way of plans for their realization.

THE JITNEY.

Tou never know what a dreadful Frankenstein the jitney is until you take a castHU.*f$fknce ofver some of the public service periodicals. It is a safe bet that the jitney owners themselves do not know what mischief they are engaged in, according to the views of the transportation folks. For summer entertainment read these remarks about "the jitney menace" in one of the current magazines: "What is the economic value of the Jitney to city or state? "No one would think of asking the question about the trolley. "The trolley employs vast numbers of men, support families, builds homes, rears and educates children and contributes vitally to every phase and factor of municipal and state, welfare. It Is a pioneer in urban and suburban development. It blazes the way to new settlements, induces street paving, tract-platting, home-building and industrial growth. "In short, the trolley represents a dynamic economic value to the city and the state, which neither city nor state dare ignore or, fall to protect. "By no artifice of argumentation can the most skillful sophist attach such a value and influence to the jitney, this tramp conveyance that sprung in a night of heedless agitation, defying both obligation to the community and responsibility to the Individual. "The anomaly of the whole thing is that the so-called working classes, who in so many cases have flocked to the support of this vagrant project, do not seem to realize that In very principle it is inimical to their commonest Interests that It strikes a blow at a great labor-employing, wage-paying Industry without offering any commensurate returns."

The Philadelphia Ledger, in telling the story of a society girl who had a squabble with a life guard at Atlantic City says she told him "to go to Hades." But why should a Philadelphia girl talk like a Boston one?

Thursday, September 9, 1915.

This appears to be an unusually favorable day, since the sun, Mars. Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter are all in beneflc aspect. Late at night Neptune is adverse.

It is an auspicious time for pushing all business and professional enterprises. Lawyers, bankers and brokers are especially well directed while this configuration prevails.

A Judge will gain fame in the United States by an act of courage and sclfsacrifice.

Merchants have a promising reading of the planets. Gains for clothiers, dealers in shoes and agents for food supplies are foreshadowed.

Neptune is in a place read as indicating increased activity among socialists and labor agitators.

There is a sign interpreted as encouraging to the political ambitions of womeh, who will assume public duties not hitherto placed upon them.

Utah, Idaho, New Mexico and other western states have the prophecy of trouble on account of religious fanaticism. A political flght that will discredit a man of national reputation is prognosticated.

Persona

whose b'irthdate it is have

a happy augury for the year. Both business and domestic affairs will be satisfactory. Farmers and miners should be especially lucky.

Children born on this day have good stars to guide them. They should enjoy most of the good things of life and be able to rise rapidly in any vocation that they choose.

MANUFACTURERS MEET.

SPAIN'S KING EXPECTS PROGRESS AFTER WAR

Thinks, However, That General Be suit Will Be Even Greater Armament of Nations.

PARIS, Sept. 8.—King Alfonso, of Spain, has had to abandon plans for a visit to America because of the war, he told Senor Cevillier, an Argentine journalist, during an audience at which the conflict now raging was freely discussed. "It is quito impossible to prophesy when the war will end," the monarch is quoted as saying in a review of the conversation printed by the Espana Review. "It was my pet dream to visit America, but I shall not be able to go now for years. When the war is over the work here will be enormous. To hasten reform we shall have to abandon all outward forms and if I do not deceive myself the role Spain will have to play will be such that her progress, which hitherto has been at a snail's pace, will be increased to a tremendous speed."

The same progress may be expected for all humanity If the war results in general disarmament, observed Senor Cevillier. "Ah, no," returned King Alfonso.

After the war nations will arm more than ever. When one seea a' country like Belgium, neutralized by agreement of all nations eventually finding no other defense than her own armed force, it is easy to understand that other countries, big and little, realize that to exist it is iridlspenslble to work in times of peax:e and surround themselves with the most positive of guarantees."

Bxertcatlng teeth without pain, every day, for people from all over the vicinity, receiving their hearty approval and appreciation of our efforts to minimise pain—prompts us to say our method of extracting teeth is the ben and easiest in Terre Hauta. When we take out a tooth for a man and he says: "Well, doctor, 1 have had a number of teeth pulled, but that Is the only one that did not hurt—I never thought it possible," and when a laay sits In the ehalr and calmly has us remove as many as thirty-two at one time and say: "I never believed teeth could be removed that easily— why the pain was nothing: no use to dread tooth pulling when it can be done like this,* we know our method is certainly a superior one, and we deem It our duty to proclaim it far and wide—to encourage all who have teeth to extract It Is the humanly sensible thing to do. If we have extracted teeth painlessly for thousands of others—we can do it for you.
