MR. SEEWALD'S PLAN.

Mr. Seewald, representing the merchants' association, hab taken the initiative in a movement to save Terre Haute from herself. He wishes that the business men and the officials would gather in and discuss matters lor the mutual benefit of all and the ultimate and larger benefit of the city. His plan may be entirely feasible and may afford a means for reaching an end the desirability of which has been realized for months, but no one seemed to know how to get it.

Terre Haute has been chastened by a season of criticism and it is dawn-, ing on some that the remedy, if persisted in, might prove as bad as the disease itself. "Whether this is to be charged to over-zealousness or to a reactive state of public mind is a question, but it is quite commonly recognized now that the dog Tray has been given a worse name than was intended and it is proving a hard task to disaseociate the public mind from our deficiencies and turn It in the direction of our merits. The reluctance on the part of our neighbors and the people of the state and country generally to permit Terre Haute to rehabilitate herself in the public mind is trying our patience and is getting to be discouraging. Traveling men come here and express surprise that business is going on in its

usual current. They explain that they have heard elsewheie that the town is dead. Papers throughout the state attribute the temporary cessation of new factories coming here to the presumption that "Terre Haute is no place to raise children," and i'f the children cannot come, of course the parents will likely remain in the vicinity of the children, all avoiding Terre Haute.

These circumstances are but a few of the prejudices that Terre Haute seemingly has to overcome. Mr. Seewald may have hit upon the proper solution. In the mean time the city is to be congratulated on her struggle with such odds as have confronted her.

RUSSIA'S TASK.

For some time the joke has prevailed that the czar ordered forty thousand American made pajamas for his soldiers, so that the Russians "could retire again," but the joke seems to have cracked. The grand duke has quit retiring and is making a stand with some semblance of success.

The armies of Grand Duke Nicholas in the Caucasus theatre have been aggressive. The design of the grand duke is to keep a considerable Turkish army constantly occupied on the eastern front so that reinforcements cannot be sent to the Dardanelles or to the Bul-gar-Teuton armies. Somewhat the same purpose is served by the British invaders in Mesopotamia, though no news has come from this quarter during the week.

The Russo-German battle line has undergone no change during the week. The Russian defense of Dvinsk and Riga remains unshaken, but Petrograd reports no considerable victory. There has been much fighting in Volhynia, also, but without noteworthy advantage to either side.

In the west there has been no fighting of significance. It seems that the armies in this region are content to hold their own and await the outcome of the fighting elsewhere before attempting anew general offensive movement.

phasizes what has been said before bv those seeking mure rigidly to preserve these birds.

Col. G. O. Shields, president of the League of American Sportsmen, says the destitution of birds costs' the United States $1,000,000,000 a year. Cotton growers, he declares, lose $100,000,000 a year through the boll weevil, because ''thoughtless men and boys" have almost exterminated quails, prairie chickens, meadow larks and other birds which consider the weevil a delicacy.

Another $100,000,000 is lost by wheat growers through the pestiferous activity of chinch bugs, and twice as much more through Hessian flies. Both these pests were devoured in vast quantities by quails as long as there were quails to devour them.

Xot sentimentalists alone, nor farmers only, deplore the approaching extinction of American song birds. Sportsmen see the dangerous trend ot things, as the president of their national organization makes plain.

POLICE EFFICIENCY.

A cross-grained citizen writes to the Tribune to say that if the police cannot stop bicycle thieving that the city ought to establish a fund to reimburse the, citizens who are deprived of this means of locomotion when he is not looking.

Far be it from us to ask that the police force imitate the methods of the Russian service. From childhood we have shuddered at the brutal ways of the Muscovite police in all the novels about Russia these officers are depicted as demons and their system as inexcusably brutal.

But there is another side to the Rustian cop. One hundred years ago, as we learn from some curious old annals, a certain Count Benckendorff (ancestor, by the way, of the present ambassador to England) lost his pocketbook containing a considerable sum of money. He notified the police. In two days they returned the money to him— the purse itself had not been recovered. But on the next day after that the count found that he had not lost his pocketbook at all—it had slipped inside the lining of his coat. There it was, money and all. He investigated, and found that the police had made up the

sum among themselves, rather than admit failure in finding it. As we said before, we shouldn't ask that the police pattern themselves after the Russian in all things. But isn't there an efficiency suggestion here?

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

New Court Plan.

Editor of The Tribune—I see they are talking about establishing a new oounty court here to take care of the work which the Circuit and the Superior Courts cannot reach. Vigo county has about as much use for a third court as a wagon has with a fifth wheel. The Superior Court last year was in session 124 days and the Circuit Court was in session 128 days. Courts ought to be run like any other line of human endeavor, to give the taxpayers the most for their money instead of the least Courts ought to be in session eight hours of the day and every day excepting Sunday. As a rule, if one has business with courts he inquires about it and discovers that the court Is on a vacation, that recess has been declared and that court is not in session.

What the taxpayers of Vigo county will do to this plan for a third court will be ample. Donn Roberts proposed the same thing one time and I can remember the howl that went up then, when it was branded as a "Roberts' scheme."

BDGEWOOD GROVE.

Home Architects.

Editor of The Tribune—The school board has been criticized for not employing home architects on the new schools. It would seem to me from the experience of the Booker Wash-

ington school and one or two others that we have had enough of "home" architects. When a school has been built here under the direction of home architects it has usually taken several years for the school board to compel the contractors to replace rotten materials which should have been eliminated in the first place. I understand the board hasn't settled up everything on the Booker Washington school even yet. If home architects are this kind of a luxury, the less we hear about this flub-dub of employing home talent the better it will be. The school board has spent money pretty freely, but none so regrettable as these post mortem settlements with architects and builders.

HOROSCOPE.

"The Stars lucl.ue. But Do Not Compei.** 'Copyright, 1S16, by he McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.)

Wednesday, November 24, 1915.

This is not an important day in the rule of the stars. Uranus is faintly adverse and Neptune faintly friendly. During the remaining days of the year the seers declare that there may be a sinister influence, bending the mind toward intense depression, which should be combatted faithfully.

Fraud and sharp-dealing of every sort may mark the code of many not previously inclined toward dishonesty, it is predicted. Women may be peculiarly susceptible to the sinister sway of the planets.

Again frugality and economy are recommended by astrologers who foresee that a tendency toward reckless extravagance and daring speculation precedes disaster for small investors in stocks and other securities.

So-called ghost stories will multiply, it is predicted, and belief In phenomena of the occult world will spread rapidly in the coming year. A famous scholar and a popular author will announce their faith in spirit manifestations.

Theatrical affairs come under a rule that indicates a peculiar condition after the holidays when heavy losses and large profits will cause changes in producing firms. A leading manager will retire from business after the death of his associate, astrologers predict.

A winter of unusually variable and trying weather is prophesied. Italy is subject to a sway that is said to give warning of severe losses in the war during the next two months. These losses may be increased largely by suffering from cold and deprivation.

Turkey comes into a direction of the planets that is held to be favorable and helpful.

Persons whose birthdate It is may meet many problems in finance in the coming year. Women should guard the health. Removals may be unlucky.

Children born on this day have a fortunate planetary leading. These subjects of Sagittarius are usually aspiring and energetic.

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY.

Miss Helen Rankin was selected as the principal of the new Fort Harrison school.

Articles of incorporation were filed with the county recorder by the Furnas Ice Cream company.

William Horsley, A1 Osborn and Mort Richardson left for the southern part of the state on a huhting trip.

THE MAKING OF A REBEL

A Story of Life in the South by JAMES MAXSON SECREST

CHAPTER XX—Continued. "There's a lot of truth In that letter," Max admitted. "The writer took advantage of certain fa^ts and has wound a web about me, from which it will be hard to extricate myself. I'll explain to you as briefly as I can what I mean by this. My mother was Miss Grace Dalton, of Columbia, Tennessee. In the years of 1840 and 1844, my father was a salesman for a Nashville wholesale grocery house. My mother's father was a merchant in Columbia^ at the time. He was an unrelenting enemy and pronounced opponent of anything or anybody hailing from beyond the Ohio river. Certain people, even at that early date, were bitter in their denunciation ot the north, and it was the seeds planted by them that finally brought on secession. My father, on occasional trips to Columbia, had met and fallen in love with Mr. Dalton's daughter—an only child. Mr. Dalton and his daughter were inseparable, the mother having died when the child was very young. All went well until one day father tDok occasion to defend his people when Mr. Dalton had lapsed into one of his periodical attacks of northerners. Not until then had Mr. Dalton known that my father was not a native of the south." "A month or so afterward, father was offered a much better position In Chicago, and being ambitious, accepted it. Before leaving the south, however, he went to Columoia. Mr. Dalton refused to let his daughter see him, but they secretly met, and it was agreed that they should run away and be married." "One night she stole quietly out nf the house, after her father had retired, and met father and shortly afterwards they left for Nashville Here they were married." "My mother wrote her father a long letter, asking him to forgive her. She never received a reply from this letter. nor from the many others that followed." "Finally, a letter came fram the sheriff, stating that Mr. Dalton had died, supposedly from grief, and had made a will leaving everything to a bfe-long friend, a Mr. Moore, of Columbia." "My mother never contested the will, and heard nothing further from her old home." "Now you see." Max continued, "I may have a hard time clearing my

name and that of my parents of the base charges made in the letter." "Havo you any plans in view?" "Not yet—only I feel I must not complicate matters by remaining a guest of the Hendersons." "Will you allow me to make a suggestiDn?" "Sure," assented Max. "I'll send for your luggage and you ill remain with me tonight. Tomorrow we will leave for Columbia." "I can't accept, although I appreciate your kind offer very much." "But you will accept," said Judge Thome. "You have been a friend to us, and now it's my turn. I

No amount of argument could change the judge's decision. Early the next morning the two left for Columbia, Tennessee.

CHAPTER XXI.

On arriving at Columbia, Judge Thorne and Max first went to the court house to look up real estate transfers.

They did not make their mission known, but as the judge was thoroughly acquainted with such transactions, the5r had no trouble in finding what they wanted.

The deed was recorded. John S. Moore was the name. Next they went to the postofflce. "No. Old John Moore moved about ten years ago," said the postmaster, in answer to their inquiry. "You can find him down in the hills, near the line of Alabama. You leave the train at State Line and he's some three or four miles from the station." "We can find out how to locate him at the station, I suppose," Max asked. "Oh, yes. Everybody there knows John," the postmaster told them.

From here the two went to the depot, and upon inquiry, found a train would be going south in a few minutes. They bought tickets to State Line and were soon on their way.

On the train they talked over the possibilities of the visit to Moore. They were well aware that the trip might be of no avail, but they intended to let no chance slip that might serve to show the letter that Mr. Henderson had received to be purely slanderous and void of facts.

State Line was only a stopping place, and as Max and Judge Thorne piled of:' the train, they could see nothing but a rocky road winding up the hillside and vanishing in the sign of life was to be seen.

Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and food authorities are urging the housewife to carefully read the labels on all food articles.

The laws of most States compel food manufacturers to print the ingredients of their products on the label, and this enables consumers to distinguish healthful foods from those which may be deleterious.

High-grade baking powders are made of pure cream of tartar, derived from grapes. Royal Baking Powder is a type of the highest grade. It is healthful beyond a doubt and the safest and best to use.

The low-grade baking powder^' are made from alum, a mineral acid salt, or phosphate of lime.

Consumers can learn the character of the baking powder by referring to the label, which must state whether the contents include cream of tartar, alum or phosphate.
