THE BUREAU OF MARKETS reports from Washington that “In the West” potato growers are paid 25 cents a bushel for the tubers. Are we “In the West?" THE RAILROADS promise to sell tourist tickets before long. Surprising, isn't it. when they need the money so badly, that it should occur to them to interest the public in spending money with them by giving a reduced rate. CHICAGO courts sentence four bandits to prison on terms of ten years to life. Their ages were 20, 19, 19 and 24, respectively. If some of the old offenders had been sentenced it might have been a warning to these boys. AFTER LOSING more than $5,000,000 in stolen automobiles last year, an investigation into the police department was conducted in New York and for the first seven days in February not an automobile was stolen. Some system somewhere. ADMIRAL WILSON in visiting Lima, Peru, attended a bull fight given in his honor and the bulls that were killed were dedicated to him. The dispatch fails to show what he did with them. If he ate them his testimony before a congressional committee may be as good reading as that of General Dawes. Muddying Mayoralty Waters Citizens of Indianapolis who are alive enough to their own interests to be concerned in the selection of a candidate for mayor on either the Republican or the Democratic ticket should not be particularly anxious to commit themselves to the support of any one of the numerous booms which are being started almost daily by our esteemed contemporaries in the local newspaper field. There are at present only two candidates in the field. They are Samuel Lewis Shank and Edward J. Robison and both are seeking the Republican nomination. t Felix McWhirter, Alexander Taggart, H. G. Morgan, Riley Adams, Thomas Howe, Robert Tyndall and perhaps others have been "mentioned prominently” and there has even been some talk of amending the law so that Jim Collins and Charlie Jewett can enter the race. Os course, there is no real push behind any of these booms. In some cases they represent a laudable desire to have as a candidate a man who would be a real mayor if elected. In other cases they represent merely the efforts of certain coteries of politicians to get attention. The truth of the matter is that there exists a studied effort to muddy the waters of the Republican pond in the selfish interests of a few master politicians who would like to continue the control the city administration and fear they cannot do so in the face of the disappointment that the public generally feels over the Jewett administration. Nothing could be more simple than the plan of the Indianapolis News to bring into the Republican field a sufficient number of candidates to make the nomination of Shank a certainty. With Shank nominated the News would be in a position again to hire John Holtzman or some other member of its “counsel” to make the Democratic race against Shank. The News could then vent its bile in another tirade against the “sinister influences” and might succeed in electing some one on its pay roll if it were not for the difficulty of convincing the people of Indianapolis of its disinterestedness. Mr. Shank's friends profess to be well pleased with the News program. They have no fear of Shank’s ability to be elected in event he is nominated and they rather welcome a fight between a News supported Democrat and Shank. For they say that then the only issue before the public would be whether the city of Indianapolis surrender* to the domination of a mysteriously owned newspaper or attempts to govern itself.

German Propaganda Donald Dushane, president of the Indiana teachers, and Marshal Von Hlndenburg of Germany broke into print on the same day, both with statements reflecting on the character of soldiers who fought in the world’s war. Dushane rose to defend the teachers against a statement that there were eight thousand of their number disloyal. Von Hindenburg rose to declare that American sentiment had changed and American soldiers were declaring that they “fought on the wrong side.” We have no wish to class Mr. Dushane with Von Hindenburg and we wish the head of the Indiana teachers would not be so foolish as to align himself with Germans in the furtherance of their propaganda. We do not know how many disloyal teachers there are in the schools and colleges of the United. States. We do know there are a number. Here in Indiana we had the humiliating experience of listening to a resolution passed by a body of teachers favoring the resumption of the teaching of German In our schools. Perhaps this resolution contributed to the assertion regarding the disloyalty of teachers. Perhaps it added to Von Hindenburg’s belief that American sentiment -was changing. The employment of the German language in America was admitted to be the greatest propaganda used by the Huns, because Americans permitted school and college teachers to make them believe it was a proper study. Today, it is permitted In Chicago, and Indiana has an eleipent which wants it, as though the sacrifices In Europe for liberty were not sufficiently well purchased. It was disloyal to carry on the German program during the war and it is disloyal now for the same reasons it was then. Tiere are legions of passionately patriotic teachers, devoting their lives to a great calling, and it is to be regretted that any deliberately shut their eyes to the criticism of an equally patriotic force in the community. There may not be 8,000 disloyal teachers in the United States, but there are some, whose prominence and responsibilities doubtless create the impression that they are more numerous than they really are. A Progressive Utility Those citizens of Indianapolis who were privileged recently to enjoy a trip to Louisville in the splendid new equipment for limited passenger .service now being installed by the Interstate Public Service Company, were most impressed by the ability of that company to do, at this time, what other interurban companies are declaring an impossibility. The fine new cars, of a type that excels any now in use in Indianapolis, were purchased and delivered when practically every other company in the State is complaining of inability either to purchase or to obtain deliveries. They constitute an answer to the plea of other utilities that It is impossible to finance improvements and they show that it is by no means Impossible to obtain equipment when there is a will to do bo. Perhaps the answer lies in the complete reversal of policy that has been adopted by Mr. Reid since he took over the management of the property. This much Is certain —there has been a great change in the sentiment toward this branch of the Insull interests and with the change of sentiment the utility has begun to do things. Securities which it could not market througl brokers are being absorbed by Its patrons since the adoption of a plan of direct selling that was four years ago rejected by other Indianapolis utilities. While these other hide-bound, lawyer-directed utilities are actually suffering, the Interstate is expanding. The capital necessary to expansion is coming from an inexhaustible source —the savings of the people who patronize utilities. What was once one of the least popular of utilities is rapidly becoming the most progressive and satisfying of the lot. And the reason for Its success lies in nothing so much as the good judgment that causes its officials to desire the good will of the public and to seek sc.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

By David Cory.-

If you can catch the little mouse 1 hat scampers all about the house I m iure you can with thread and ’pin Make a cap out of her akin. Now, I’m sure I don’t know whv I *^ rted . ottthU story with thio little J f k 1 “ not goin *t to t<?11 you anything about a little house nor a little hO 7 t 0 thread a P‘ with a piece of thread. \\ hat I was going to say was that one day as Puss trudged along he found a beautiful red flower, half open, and as the wind blew across its petals they slowly opened and presently they drifted away. It was the blossom called A-neui-o-ne, or Wind Flower. Bo Puss picked up one of the fallen petals and placed It in his pocket; and then, all of a sudden, he could understand what the wind was saying. So he sat down to listen, and this Is what it said: Once upon a time, many years ago, there lived a handsome youth named Adonis, who was beloved by the goddess Venus. And one day, while hunting the wild boar, the animal, whom he had wounded with his spear, rushed at him and, having no other weapon, the youth was forced to turn and flee. But soon the wild boar overtook hlin and killed him with his great tusks. “Now, at that moment, the goddess Venus was driving through the air in her chariot drawn by white swans and, looking down upon the earth, she beheld her beloved Adonis lying upon the grass. “And when she reacted his side, great was her grief to find him dead. “ ‘Alas, my beaut’ful Adonis,' she cried. ‘Tour blood that sprinkles the ground •hall be changed into a crimson flower.* and in less than an hour's time there sprang up a flower as red as blood.” And then the wind hushed its voice, and only the hum of bees was heard. But still little Puss remained quiet. And presently the wind tiegnn to speak again. “So whenever I find this flower In bud I blow upon its petals, and when it opens 1 whisper in its heart, “ ’Dream on in your flowery Bleep, Oh, beautiful Adonis, for she loves you,' and then the petals take wing to find her, the lovely Venus. And that is why people call this blood red blossom Wind Flower, for it seeks to find love on the wings of the wind.” And then once more the voire of the wind grew still and the trees ceased to move their leafy branches, and Puss awoke, as from a dream. And p.'rhaos he had fallen asleep. Who knows. For few of us have heard the voice of the wind. Oh, the voice of the wind as it sings to sleep The birds in the forest cool and deep. And the woolley lamb by its mother's side, And the little starfish by the ocean's tide, Bings a aong to me In a dream. Which I forget in the morning's gleam. —Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

But I leaped to my feet and flung out my arms in sudden Joy. “Miss Mossl’T cried. “Miss Moss— she’ll tell us! Oh, Anthony Norreys, you've found the clew!” I was babbling like a child one minute. and the next Anthony Norreys had calmed me down and I was explaining what I meant and haw I had come to think of it. “You asked Virginia where she first met Betty. And ysu said, ‘Vee’—that's Phoebe’s name for Virginia—so it flashed across my mind that when you two first met, Phoebe probably was always along.” "Ob, Anne, what has that to do with it?” cried Virginia impatiently. "But it has everything Jo do with it, Vee, dear," said the man so soothin/ly and kindly that the threatened friction didn't stop my mind from running along the track on which it had started. “Well, then—l thought of the little inn where I’d first, met Betty, and who was always along—a funny little woman with a face I thought was wabbly like a poached egg. And her name came to me. It was Miss Moas, Betty’s companion. For a long time I haven’t seen her, but If Betty is ill or in trouble, she might have her again. Betty would get a paid companion instead of bothering any of her friends. She would, I declared, almost breuthlessly as I concluded my Io„g speech. “You know Betty. She would do Just that!" declared Anthony Norreys. “And to And Miss Moss!" “Do you know how to find her?” asked Virginia eagerly. My heart sank as I realised that I hadn’t the f.dntest notion where Miss Moss lived.—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued).

STAGE AND SCREEN

LIFE AFTER DEATH REVEALED IN “EARTHBOUND.” The story of life after death is told in Basil King's * “Earthbound,” which has been made into a movie and will open an engagement Sunday afternoon at the Ohio. Miss Jean Darnell, former movie actress; and now personal representative for this picture, has been in Indianapolis for several days making arrangements for the opening of the film.

Billie Cotton, who plays the child role of Connie Desborough In “Earthbound,”

Asido from the fact that Basil King’s story is presented with an all-star east, aud that a whole year of work was spent upon It to make It technically perfect, this picture has a plot d.fferent to any that has ever been attempted before. For that reason “Earthbound" aroused widespread discussion, not only among critics, but the theater-going public in the two cities where it has been shown. The fact that the story carries the pis-sion-swept destinies of r, faithless mau and a seductive woman even into the life beyond, gave rise to much speculation as to the plausibility of such a theory and the object of Mr. King in writing it. But whether they found a solution or not, all confessed that they were held spellbound by the Intensely dramatic manner in which the subject was presented. As to the object, Mr. King admits frankly that In writing “Earthbound" he wus concerned merely with writing the best story he knew how to write, without wishing to preach. -I- -I- -|- ON VIEW TODAY.
