Practice Economy Every Day To the thrifty housewife who makes every dollar count, nothing In the food line is more acceptable than the new product called "OUR-PIE" put up in 30-cent packages for making lemon, chocolate and custard pies. Every l.ackage is sold under a positive guarantee and makes two large pies. Local grocers say the sale is rapidly increasing and customers are well pleased.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 12. It is said that a strong friendship has grown up between Mrs. Kern and Mrs. Bryan as the outcome of the nomination of the Indiana man for the democratic vice presidency. Mrs. Kern and Mrs. Bryan have been acquainted for years in an informal way. Now, however, the fortunes of politics have brought them closer together and the two women correspond regularly. Mrs. Kern admires the modest wife of the Nebraskan, terming her a typical American woman. The cleverness of Mrs. Kern Is well known. She has long been identified with the literary club life of the city and is a great lover of her home and family. Above all the health of her husband concerns her, and it is of this that she has often

written to Mrs. Bryan, seeming to dread the possibility of Mr. Kern being called on to undertake the herculean campaign tasks which the Nebraskan handles with such little wear and tear. She frankly says that her husband can never go the pace that Mr. Bryan has always set in the matter of speech making, and it is not likely that he will attempt to do so. He certainly will not if Mrs. Kern can prevent it. She trembles for the result as date after date is accepted by her husband for speeches, and she Is about ready to draw the line. Mrs. Bryan thoroughly sympathizes with her in this, and it is said that Mr. Kern's health will be taken Into account in all arrangements made for meetings at which the two nominees are to be stellar attractions.

About fifty invitations were Issued to town guests. The out of town guests were Mrs. Pfra and Miss Jessie Pray of Knlghtstown, and Miss Onig of Philadelphia with Mrs. Kaminskl. The Ways and Means society of the Fifth street M. E. church gave a social last evening. An Interesting literary program was given followed by a social hour. The Rev. J. Cook Graham, pastor of the church also gave a short address. A large number of the members were in attendance. The affair was a most enjoyable one.

j t . The Gonzaga Council of the Y. M. I.

of the St. Andrew's etiurch gave a

lawn party and musical last evening on the lawn adjoining the church. An orchestra furnished the music. Various out door amusements were features of

the occasion. The grounds were light

ed with Japanese lanterns. Ice cream and was served at small tables which were arranged on the lawn.

A Scarcity of Washwomen.

One reason for the scarcity of wash

women and the principal one, is illness

consumption. The unnealthy, im

pure, nauseating odors which arise from the use of Bome laundry soap cause more sickness than a dozen other

reasons. There Is only one white

laundry soap Easy Task. Made of

cocoanut oil and borax, the fumes from

which are pleasant, yet it will wash

anything and without boiling. Try a five cent cake and results will surprise you.

BOARD SHOULD ACT OR BE MADE TO RESIGN (Continued From Page One.)

the entire country. City governments

are supposed to protect the people against the tremendously powerful onslaughts of these corporations, but many are short sighted and unwise, 'thereby allowing the corporations to get control of the people. Right is right, as God is God, declared the speaker, and right will win these battles between the public and the corporations. I want it understood that I sympathize with the board of public works, Dr. Lyons said. There is no doubt that its blood boils with rage since the public was so slow in acting. The reason the public did not act, was because it had so much confidence in the city officials that it did not think that they should ever consent to the outrage that it Is about to be perpetrated. We should not lie down upon our backs and allow the corporation to bind us hand and foot. The corporation is no friend of ours and it is here to suck from us our life's blood. It must make money and it will make it by despoiling our beautiful park. And furthermore, just as you are

guarding against that monster vandal

of commercialism which is stalking abroad in the land, just so must we

guard against the commercial spirit of our own city, if the best interests

of the city are maintained.

Dr. Lyons said that he had no other reason to believe that the business men of Richmond are large hearted, but oftentimes they lose sight of other people's interests in order to further

their own.

"It Is for us to raise the first bulwark against the commercial spirit which will not now nor, never be

swept aside."

The recent communication of the board came in for a gruelling at the

hands of the minister. He said that

the board had to say something and

say It Quick so it sprung a document

which could never be justified by

theirs or not other's common sense

The arguments of the board, he said,

would turn Glen Miller Into a corn field to feed the children of the tear

ful mother, and by the same argument

it would cry out that there was not

other land, that the same thing could be accomplished. He said that the plea of utility, as presented by the

board through the medium of the communication, was made to deceive all. Closing, Dr. Lyons said, "I cry in the for the usefulness of the park to the people, let us stop this desecration. Just as It would be robbing the people of public beauty if a large sign representing the commercial interests were placed on the tower of the Reid Memorial church, just so it will be robbing the people if the traction freight line is allowed to progress through Glen Miller park. Timothy Nicholson then spoke on the magnificant way in which the residents of North Twentieth street had cleared themselves of the former petition circulated last fall, saying "The public spirited residents of North Twentieth street were pressed to sign

a remonstrance and the majority of the people did so, but when they found that the line down North Twenty-third street would go through the Glen, twenty of these same residents that had signed the first petition, fearing desecration of the Glen, turned around and signed the following petition: We the residents of North Twentieth from Main to North E streets are opposed to the freight route through the Glen Miller park and as public sentiment seems to be that North Twentieth street as the logical route for such a line, we hereby give our consent for the same. Richmond, Indiana, August 10, 1908. C. R. Unthank, H. H. Cowles, John H. Fetta, Beecher Mathews, Roy Robinson, Sid Benham, Fred King, G. A. Sherick, J. Th. Goehner. Charles Atkins, Roy Norris, Alva Crampton. Mark Shissler. G. A. Kordell, II. Schafer, F. Sharkitt. J. D. Haner. Ed Hunt. Bitter Attack by Hunt. Mr. Hunt in a very personal and very spirited speech stated that he had been misled. He addressed his remarks to the city attorney and the board of jmblic works who he claimed had misled the people until the last few days when the party of citizens called at the office of the board of works. "But they will not do It any more," concluded Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt took occasion to attempt to prove that the board had been misleading the people. He said that the president of the traction company has stated that hia company did not want to go through the Glen, and said It

would be the best to go down Twen

tieth or some other street. Mr. Hunt claimed that when Mr. B. B. Johnson,

was informed of this, the latter said

"Impossible."

Next he directed his attacks against

Mr. Study and said. "Mr. Study is great on bluff, ridicule, sarcasm and

belittling methods. He does not de

pend on so much law as he does these

small practices (great applause.) I really don't believe he ever depends on actual law. A prominent business

man asked him at the meeting of the board of works last Wednesday morning if when two parties in a contract and one wishes to rescind the contract and the other party agrees, can't it be called off? Mr. Study replied that it could be rescinded and had just the moment before stated that it couldn't be. This is an evidence of his legal ability. Staubach With Public." Mr. Hunt said that Mr. Staubach, president of the board of works was interested in the subject and that he was willing to act with public sentiment, if it was to do over again. Watson P. O'Neal, the republican member of the board has said according to Mr. Hunt, that he would do what the people wanted him to do. B. B. Johnson, the third member of the board, is positively opposed to sending the freight line down Twentieth or Main street and is in favor of it going through the Glen. "I don't want to become personal but the occasion demands it," stated Mr. Hunt, He continued by saying, "The whole force rests largely on William Campbell, who does not want screeching cars ' running past his home. He has planted his home on one of the commercial streets of Richmond, one built by the government to open the great West and It is a commercial avenue and always has been and always will be, and, any one residing on this thoroughfare suffers himself to any Improvements that come along. "William Campbell stated just the other day that "freight cars can't and shall not go down North Twentieth street, and my money says so." Of

course Mr. Campbell can hire men to

do the work for him and spend his money just as in politics," concluded Mr. Hunt. Resolution of Protest. At this point the first resolution was read by Secretary Stevenson and

was passed unanimously. The following was the resolution: Resolved, by the citizens of Richmond, assembled in a mass meeting called to protest against the defacement of the city park by a raftway track across it, thereby endangering the thousands who enter and leave the park at its west entrance, that we are unalterably opposed to the ac

tion of the board of Dublic works, which has signed a contract permitting this defacement' and danger, and we insist that the said board shall earnestly endeavor to make a new contract with the interurban railway by which their cars shall not pass through the city park. We recommend to the board of public works and common council of Rich

mond that with the consent of the interurban railway company to rescind the franchise or license granted by said board permitting said corporation to use what is known as Twenty-third street for a freight line and that they make a contract with faid company granting to said railway company the (Continued on Page Seven.)

LID CLAMPED ON CUPID.

South Bend. Ind.. Aug. 12. The startling frequency with which Cupid is aiming his shafts at employes of the South Bend postoffice has made it necessary for Postmaster Cadmus Crabill to issue an order prohibiting more than three marriages a week among members of the department. Beginning with his own marriage the clerks, carriers and other employes have rushed to the altar at a rapid gait. The order is as follows: "To Head Clerks: In view of the Increasing tendency on the part of the local force to yield to the importunities of Cupid you will caution the employes connected with the different departments to advise with their respective officers regarding the approaching connubial events so that not more than three weddings shall be celebrated within one week. "Cadmus Crabill, P. M."
