Centennial News Letter.

(Issued foe the week beginning siay 1 by the Indiana Historical Commifeion.) k , The pageant “Indiana,” to be enacted at the Boys’ Industrial school at Plainfield on May 15 during the week of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, is unique in its inception ard- form. It is a curious thing to have the inmates of an institution celebrating an event in the life of the state, which is responsible for their detention within that institution. It is probably the first instance of a patriotic celebration by penal institution in pageant form. Every item in its production is to come from the institution itself. The book is printed, the cos-5 tivies tailored, the carpentry performed, the music furnished, the talent secured, all from within the '•.alls of the school. It can more nearly be called a community celebration than any other celebration to be held in the state, as it has nothing which ,is not a product of the community which enacts it. The author and director, \V, O. Conway, is not of the school but very greatly interested in it and is conducting

the affair from the double standpoint of a pageant venture and a sociological experiment. That it is considered in the latter light by the National Conference of Charities and Corrections is indicated in the fact that it has given the Plainfield pageant a place on its program. Incidently, it will advertise to the many distinguished visitors the efforts of Indiana to commemorate its centennial. Now that the centennial movement is in full swing over the state, a word of caution seems in place. Centennial organizations and officials are being approached with all kinds o r red fire and tinsel proposals made by amusement promotors. Some of the latter even agree to go into a town and put. on its centennial celebration, relieving its citizens of all ‘bought and responsibility in the matter! Such a proposal is an Insult

to the intelligence of the community and brands those who make it. The centennial activities over the state are being urged and entered upon from a high plane of real education and patriotism. They should not be compromised and degraded by commercial amusement companies posing in centennial clothing. Better no celebration at all than a farce. The people of Indiana, will profit by this year’s efforts by just as mucji of ‘bought and intelligent interest and work as they contribute. It is a safe proposition for communities to beware of the people who are anxious to give them something. Do your own celebrating. And remember—“ The centennial celebration is no carnival.”

Steady progress Is being reported in the movement to erect a monument to the Pioneer Mother. As a result of the penny contributions made by the school children of the state, the amount of SSOO has been received at the office of State Superintendent Greathouse. A stamp is being issued for the promotion of the cause, which Is to be sold at the rate of $ 1 per 100. .. Huntington leads off this week with the first county celebration to lie held in the state. r Under the able leadership of County Chairman J. M. Scudder, city school superintenI dent, effective work of preparation and education has been done in the Huntington schools, and as a climax to all this an elaborate centennial exposition has been prepared which is being staged in Huntington’s new hl(lf million dollar court house.

Fann Kitchen Costs.

Farmers are really keeping more cost accounts these days. They have records of man-hours and horsehours, can distinguish between running expenses and capital charges, know if grain or hogs are profitable at a given market price, and compare horse and tractor costs intelligently.

But farm costs will never bo right and fair until they are extended to the farm kitchen. Three meals a day make up a major item in the cost of growing crops. A big Monday wash for hired men is a legitimate charge on butterfat for the creamery. How long does it take each week to cook the meals and do the washing? How many waste motions are involved In lack of good equipment or in poor arrangement of the kitchen tools? Is mother running her department on a reasonable expenditure of labor and time? Or wbuld it be possible to alter the whole scheme, Jet the hands get their meals and washing elsewhere, ami make a better money profit on farm products while giving her more leisure and the family more privacy?

For five years or more father haa been urged to provide better kitchen facilities lor mother, and.he has responded admirably. But father has been urged to bring about his kitchen reform lor mother Chiefly as a matter of sentiment. There is not a particle of sentiment in better farm kitchens. It is a plain matter of costs, as anybody can learn by keeping records. Let father begin keeping kitchen eo'ats. If he hasn’t time let mother keep them herself and use the figuies to back up her demand for better equipment.—Country Gentleman.
