WHAT A BLOW It would be to the street railway industry if the people of Des Moines would find busses more popular than street cars! — v THE MANNER in which those baseball players celebrated their acquittal fully justifies the decision that they shall never again enter professional baseball. PRESIDENT HARDING is reported to be enjoying hia “isolation. Sort of establishing a working model of what he promised the “bitter enders” for the Nation! KOKOMO'S Humane Society is protesting at the treatment accorded animals by a wild west show. In Indianapolis the society protests only against anything that disturbs its slumbers. Feeding Negro Politicians The disclosure that Hayes Wilson, negro political protege of Mayor Charles W. Jewett, has been paid $3,707.85 of the taxpayers’ money for cleaning the walls of the city hall and the job is not yet completed Is a perfect exemplification of the manner in which the Jewett administration has maintained a Republican political machine at the expense of the tax- j payers of the city. Hayes Wilson Is a negro politician on whom the administration has relied for some time to swing the negro votes of a large district in the direction the machine wished them swung. He was of no use to the machine until Beverly Howard, a leader among the negroes, broke with the Jewett machine. Then It was necessary that some negro be developed to a point of influepce where Howard would be opposed. Vi ilson had no such influence so the board%f works wa3 induced to place at his disposal a large number of easy jobs which he might parcel out among a crowd of negroes. Having patronage to distribute, Wilson was in a position to influence votes and he did. The easy jobs that Wilson had to distribute were $5 a day jobs at the city hall, cleaning the frescoed walls. The fact that the task has continued for five months and is not yet completed Is evidence of the softness of the jobs. That It constitutes a great waste of public money is evident from the fact that Dwight Ritter, the adminis'-Mion’s own purchasing agent, protested In vain at the outlay. This deal with Hayes Wilson, by which the Jewett administration sought to make him a negro political leader at the expense of the taxpayers, is particularly repugnant for two reasons: * 1. It is typical of the waste of money that has made the Jewett administration the most expensive Indianapolis has ever had. 2. It is typical of the pandering of the machine politicians to the lowest class of negroes that lias made this a city In which white women are not safe from such affairs as the unpunished assault on a nurse at the city hospitalAt the expense of the taxpayers, in a manner that is nevertheless corrupt because it appears to be within the law, ar attempt has been made by the city administration to build a political machine for selfish use in elections out of materia 1 that is incapable of intelligent political action, but i3 wholly influenced by the tempting $8 a day bait held forth by officeholders who have utterly forgotten their duty to the taxpayers whose interests they are presumed to safeguard. It is the knowledge of such deals as th's with Hayes Wilson that has broken down all the confidence the public once had In Charles W. Jewett as mayor. It is the knowledge that his board members have been Influenced into such deals regardless of their reputations as business men that has caused them to he regarded as no more careful of public money than the machine politicians with whom the mayor has surrounded himsef. "?uch practices as the hiring of negro politicians at exorbitant wages for • anecessary service must be stopped before taxes can be brought to a reasonable level in Indianapolis. * These practices will never be stopped until the taxpayers themselves make i. plain by their ballots that they will no longer tolerate them. In the coming election tne voter will have to be guided by his estimate of the alllity of the candidates to stop such practices. Neither 5Tr. Shank or Mr. Ralston will condone this subsidizing of negro voters at public expense. The question for the voters is which of the two candidates is most willing and most capable of putting a stop to such diversion of public money. „ Ice Cream After one of the most remarkably hot seasons visited upon the sons of man, it may not be amiss to look into some of its features. If possible an explanation of why there was so much hot weather and so little Ice cream to cool one off is in order. So many theories are advanced as to the cause of the hot weather. all with an apparent show of reason, that the shortage, if any, of ice ceam is perhaps more interesting. In spite of the feelings of all children and numerous others, there really was no shortage in that most decidedly American delicacy, ice cream Indeed, it is a question whether one would call It a delicacy. In hospitals and homes it is a necessity. Any fellow who goes to see his girl and continually ignores the ice cream parlors, almost commits harakiri. The growth in the use of ice cream is in one sense due to the progress of the factories which supply the want. There are five large and numerous small manufacturers in Indianapolis. Every community retails the product and many, '-specially if of any size, make it. The process, generally, is most sanitary an. up-to-date. The cream is pasturized and the utensils are sterilized. Machinery insures a uniform quality. Either adding or subtracting the parts so that when the cream foes for use. its consistancy is guaranteed. Like many other food institutions, the standard Ice cream factory, is always spotlessly clean, and the product is not touched by any one from the time the material enters until it is carried out, ready to serve. The United States seems to have led the world in the preparation of this food. It leads in the consumption also. By degrees the ice cream which is here to stay, has become a fixed dessert —like the old English plum pudding It is mixed or built on scientific lines and Is an essential part of diet, especially for children or invalids. The fact that the article is made under most sanitary inspection has added much to general use of it In homes and at soft drink counters. * There was a time when it was thought effeminate to eat ice cream. Now every one takes it and enjoys it. As an article of food It has won, through its merits, a permanent place. Here Goes $43,000! Forty-three thousand dollars of the taxpayers’ money was spent yesterday by the board of sanitary commissioners for automobile trucks to be used in the collection of garbage in Indianapolis. Contracts were not awarded to the lowest bid ders and there was no checking of the sanitary board's purpose or judgment in this expenditure. None rose to ask what had become of the equipment which was purchased from the Indianapolis Reduction Company for the collection of garbage when the sanitary board paid the company $175,000 for a complete plant which was appraised for taxation at only $15,000. Non'' seemed to recall that only a few years ago Mayor Jewett wa3 lauding the board for its purchase of this equipment, which is now being replaced at a cost of $43,000, and was asserting that the garbage plant would pay for itself in less than five years. The pui chase yesterday of $43,000 worth of motor equipment was a purchase for Abe purpose of replacing worthless equipment included in the $175,000 purchase made of the company headed by James P. GoodrichAnd It was another illustration of why taxes are so high in Marion\ Comity.

Don't Buy Stock! I want to Issue a most emphatic warning—don't buy stock iu any kind of morion picture producing company unless you know ail about it, are sure that the people behind it are reputable, and that you can depend on them not to swindle you out of vour money. Even though the person who Is trying to sell it to j'ou tells you that those who are concerned In the company have always been associated with big companies and successful productions, and know their business well—don't buy. I know of an assistant director, who'd never done anjthing of importance, but had been in on the making of several big pictures, who went around the country shining In reflected glory, and swindled a lot of people out of their savings. I know of another man who bad been connected with several small companies, that never had done much of anything, but who had made one big picture. And he went up to Caftada and sold stock In a company that didn't even own a camera, and apparently never expected to. A great deal of money has been made on motion picture stock, 1 know, and a great deal more will be made In the same way. That Is certain. A picture that is made by someone who knew* his business has a pretty good chance to succeed, and the company w hich "wns that picture is likely to make money. But oh, the number of pictures that fail—some of them good pictures, too. And the number of people who rush about importantly, talking about what they're doing—and trying to make jou believe they'll do It, Only a few days ago a young man was telling me that he had secured backing for a company which lie had formed —he had persuaded a wealthy man who knew nothing of picture making to put up a large sum of money, but It wasn't enough to do more than get things started, as anyone who knew much about the industry could have told the misguided millionaire.
KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS
(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a ul ? I l ! ri ? a S town, on a limited income, will teti the readers of the Daily Times how the many present day problems oi the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical t01 !°„ them daily in an interesting review of their home llle and learn to the conditions of the high ccet ox living with them.) THURSDAY. “\Ve will have to do something about the begs in the vegetable garden." said Roger 38 he met his father at the front gate. “They are getting pretty bad, and I've done everything I can think of but they seem to be getting worse “ "Wen we're had pretty good luck so far t ,A*t yenr." replied Mr Hooper. "lh;s is ti,-, first really serious attack we\e had. and well get right after that army of plant lice that seems now to have settled on the melons, and cabbage especially.** “Oh, they are on everything.'’ sighed Mrs. Hooper who had followed Roger and his father out into the garden. “All the leares of every on eof the plants are beginning to curl up and lose their color." “I re used arsenate of lead and parts green as you suggested when I noticed them first." said Roger, "but they seem to have Just eaten it up and grown instead of being killed by the poison "We will have to try tobacco extract. That is the only thing that will really get them," observed Henry turning up the leaves of a melon vine that was literally alive with the tiny Inse<t3. "One teaspoonful of the tobacco or nicotine sulp! ate as it is called to one gallon of water with a one inch cube of hard soap dissolved In It and thoroughly mixed will give just the solution for this garden " "If you’ll mix it. np tonight after dinner, father. I'll jiut it right on tomorrow." said Roger. “Y'ouMf have to spray the plants verv thoroughly." observed Henry, "because effective application of the solution Is of the utmost Importance. The iusects must receive a thorough coat of the spray or they will not be killed." “It is very difficult to reach the under side of the ieaves with a spray we have. ’ said Mrs. Hooppr, “Don't you think he ought to have some special kind of noszle to do It properly."
“Who's going to direct for you?” I asked; I really was interested. "Oh. 1 may direct the first picture myself, unless I can get So-and-ao to come on from the coast and do it, he answered nonchalantly. Now, he had never directed a picture in his life. Neither had his friend. They had been in the publicity departments of several of the big companies, and knew the jargon of the studios, that was allThey had engaged a maij who used to be a favorite, when he was young, but hasn’t appeared on the screen for a long time, to star. They are headed straigh fur failure, but I'm afraid it s not their failure, but that of the man who put up the money, arid of the people who buy stock in the company. This sort of thing ought to be stopped, of course. But it's like speculating on the stock market, or in any other line of business. People insist on doing it, and once in a while their speculation* turn out welL However, I repeat my warning—don't buy stock in a motloD picture company unless you are sure of the people behind it! QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. G. 3.—Yes, 1 have beard that William S. Hart was going to retire from the screen; he has finished the nine picture* which he was under contract to make for Famous Plnyers-Lasky, and ho has said right along that he was going to retire when they were done. But I don’t believe that his admirers will permit him to slip away to his ranch—first thing we know, I'm "sure he'll be back again. Mrs. N. —Doris May and Wallace MacDonald were married not long ago, and are now in California. V. Y.—“ Little Lord FaunUeroy" is Mary Plckford's next picture; she plays both the little son and his mother, and there is some wondlrful double exposure work in it. They say that she does the two parts beautifully and that the make-up is unusually good.—Copyright, 1021.
"I believe the truck farmers do have one.'’ said Henry. "You might inquire when you go tu town.” "I believe I've solved the problem," exclaimed Mrs. Hooper triumphantly, after a few moment/ thought. “Roger and I will flli a pall with the poison solution; turn up the leaves of the plans with one hand and with a small whisk broom, sprinkle them well with the nicotine sulphate. The lice will get a good soaking that way, which is necessary to kill them." "That sounds very practical," said Henry, "and I believe it will be more effective ;han any kind of a manufactured spray." “We will try it to in or row," said Mr*. Hooper "There are two ot three old whisk brooms on the shelf in the basement that will be just the thing. I’m glad l didn't throw them away." The day's shopping has been confined almost solely to supplies for the kitchen end to the fruit and vegetables for the canning. Mrs. Hooper and Mrs. Chapin had a noth-- conference over their afternoon tea as ? the camping lists and bad decided that they would do most of the shopping for the next week. If the things were ordered in plenty of time they could t>e sent home the day before starting to be packed and then if they I found it necessary to revise their lilt* : or if certain articles could cot be had [ in the home market, they could send to the city for them instead of substituting : some makeshift which is so often done , when purchasing for a trip of this kind | is left until the last minute. Helen bad already begun to assemble ; her things so that the one suitcase which she was to carry could be packed without anv final scramble and rush, j (>n her shopping list for the day Mr*. Hooper had put everything they would ■ need in the way of soap, talcum powder ! and cold cream and had also laid in a supply of simple medicines, that might 1 be needed first aids in case of accident. Instead cf using up the odds and end* tu the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, she bought a fresh supply of the few things needed, and charged them up to the expenses of the trip. Henry had been so busy he had not been able to find time at the luncheon hour to buy the rubber boots that he and Roger needed, and which he was sura could be purchased for far less in the city, so they were to be bought next week.
