SIR WILLIAM WHYTE. Sir William Whyte, who haa just retired from the rice presidency of ' tbe Canadian Paclfio Railway company, was born in Fifeshlre, Scotland, . September 15, 1843. He entered railway service early in the employ of 'the North British Railway company and came to Canada in-1863. He bejan aa a freight clerk for the Grand I Trunk at Coburg, Ontario, and rose steadily in the service of that road i until 1883, when he was made general superintendent of the Credit Valley railroad. In the next year he was' 'made general superintendent of the Eastern Ontario division of the Canadian Tacific and in 1886 went to Winnipeg as general superintendent of the western division.. Since, that time he has been the western head of the railroad. Early in the present year Sir William was one of the several Canadians to receive coronation honor! at the hands of King George V. ' Ha has done much to develop the industries of Canada, particularly. in the great Northwest,, la 1901, in furtherance of a plan for the development of Canadian trade, he made an extensive trip through Russia and Siberia: , Why Not In Richmond A news Item In the Kansas City ' 8tar: - The Commercial Club Is planning a i series of "Home Trade Trips,' the Idea being to bring the manufacturers and i merchants of this city in closer touch with one another. It Is in line with the campaign being conducted by the manufacture through The Star for a larger consumption in Kansas City of goods made in this city. Justin A. Runyan, Industrial commlssioner of the Commercial Club, explained the plan today as follows: Certain Days for the Trip. "The wholesale and retail meri chants are not well enough acquainted (With the manufacturers of this city. ' Why, there are Jobbers and retail i merchants In this town who are not i eren acquainted with the men who operate the factories. Thousands of dollars of Kansas City money Is spent every year with outside factories and Jobbers which, if spent with our own manufacturers for the same kind and quality of goods, would increase the output of our factories and give emiployment to thousands more workmen i and bring other factories here. Now I we purpose to set aside certain days i in which we will take parties of Jobbers and retailers around to the factories and get them acquainted and Impress upon them the wisdom of buying .home made goods wherever It is possible to do so. "The average business man of Kan- . sas City in recent years has been exceedingly busy with his own Interests and, therefore, I think a great many of us will be surprised when they take this trip and visit the manufacturing plants of our city.

Hope is a flatterer, but tbe most upright of all parasites, for she frequents tbe poor man's flat as well as the palare of his superior. Shenstone.

SOMETIMES PAINLES3 Serious Stomach Trouble Comes on Many People Unaware Many symptoms of dangerous stomach trouble are so painless that they are hardly noticed. That is why the trouble so often reaches a really serious stage before anything is done to stop Its onward progress. If you ever notice such painless symptoms as fullness after eating, heaviness In stomach. Irregular appetite, coated tongue, bad breath or taste and belching, then you really hate stomach trouble and should take something to stop it at once. An effective home made tonic does the business and saves you quite a little money at the same time. Get a two ounce bottle of Logos Stomach Tonic Extract C concentrated) at any first class drug store. Mix the contents of this bottle with enough pure water to make a pint, and add two teaspoonfuls of ordinary baking soda. Simple, isnt It? Tet It stops all stomach trouble In a jiffy. The concentrated extract costs you bt$ fifty cents; you make from It med-f-t wort couple of dollars at least,

The Constitutional Debt Limit Most of us have realized for some time that if ft were not for Indiana's constitutional debt limit Richmond by this time would have bought the water-works and placed it under municipal control. Richmond, however, and unfortunately, has already incurred an indebtedness of within 160,000 of its limit under our state constitution. And that-160,000 which we can still raise by a bond issue would not go very far towards purchasing the waterworks. In the communication that follows, "Lawyer" suggests amending our state constitution so that there will be no legal limitation to the amount of debt a city may contract, In order to purchase or build a public utilities enterprise that Is or will be profitable as well as self-sustaining. Such a change in our state constitution would be very valuable from tbe standpoint of tbe citizens of our municipalities, and should be incorporated In the new and up-to-date constitution that Indiana even now should have, in place of its present somewhat antiquated one. That tbe people of Indiana are rapidly getting to the point where they will demand a new constitution that will enable them more thoroughly to cope with modern complexities, there can be no doubt. The only doubt of direct application locally is whether such a constitutional change can be obtained In time to be of any benef t in our present water works situation. Therefore, while "Lawyer's" proposal is interesting in its bearing on future settlements of such questions, it will prove of very little value in the present situation, unless the water-works' present expiring contract and franchise were to be renewed only a year at a time, under tbe impression that such a constitutional change can be accomplished r,"r'-" '"" f r three years. -

The communication follows: Editor Palladium: . It has become a favorite pastime to find fault with many things about us, but it takes a different sort of ability to propose and advocate a plan for an improvement, and give valid reasons for its approval. ' The Palladium is gaining in popularity and interest all the time. Evidently caused by its able attempt to show reasons why, and now permit me to point out one method by which, if adopted, a desirable result could be easily secured. """" In 1881 the people of Indiana consolidated into one section of the State Constitution what has previously been contained in several items relating to the same subject matter, the section so consolidated and adopted at that time remains in full force and effect at this time in the following words: "No political or municipal corporation in this state shall ever become Indebted, in any manner or for any purpose, to an amount, in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the value of the taxable property within such corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for state and county taxes previous to the incurring of such indebtedness; and all bonds or obligations, In excess of such amount, given by euch corporation, shall be void. Provided that in time of war, foreign invasion, or other public calamity, on petition of the majority of the property owners, in number and value, within, the limits of such corporation, tbe public authorities, in their discretion, may incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense to such amount as may be requested in each petition." We are a progressive people and since the above was adopted there has been considerable advance in thought and methods, and it is very probable that it would not be at all difficult to have the foregoing modiled by a clause something like this: , 4 And provided further, . That at no time shall any municipal debt or obligation incurred in the purchase, or Installation of a public work, or utility, that is fully self sustaining, and producing ample net revenue to pay the interest and charges on each debt or obligation be considered as any part of tbe said two two per centum limitation. ' , An amendment of this sort is not any thing new or novel in municipal arrangements in other states. At the present time the city of Los Angeles Is expending twenty-three millions of dollars to bring a supply of water to the corporation limits, and the total tax value is two hundred and eighty-eight millions of dollars, but from this water supply they will derive an enormous revenue, and this large debt will really be an asset.

The Farmer and 1912's Bread Supply Go out of Richmond now-a-days in any direction and you will see the farmers are preparing for your next year's supply of bread. In other words the season has arrived for the fall sowing of wheat. Some farmers have already completed their fall sowing and even now are beginning to wonder what their harvest next July will be. Other farmers have finished the preparation of their fields for planting, but not a grain of wheat will they sow until about the twenty-fifth of September. They know that wheat planted that late still has plenty of time for a good start in this latitude and, most important, that it Is more nearly sure to escape the ravages of the Hessian fly than wheat earlier sowed. Furthermore, the farmer who so carefully observes the proper time for wheat planting also recognizes and combats the other pests and diseases which operate so woefully to reduce the average yield of wheat per acre In Indiana. He knows that seed wheat treated with formalin practically Is immune from attacks of stinking smut and anthracnose, and that it Is freer materially from danger of scab. Moreover, the liability to attack from scab can be made still more remote by the : fanning mill process, which removes tbe scabby kernels that weigh but one-half as much as the sound kernels. Rust the mere mention of which sends the price of wheat in the "pit" at Chicago soaring yields, as the careful farmer knows, to clean seed, sowed on clean, well drained land; further important factors being early ripening and the "destruction of all volunteer growths of wheat and moving of all wild grasses in the vicinity of the wheat field."

Wa-Ne-Ta to the Rescue!

There! that quotation lets the cat out of the bag. This editorial article is based on one of those Purdue agricultural bulletins. Its title is "How to Grow More and Better Wheat," circular number 23. The tallowing is a reproduction of the summary of this circular: - Indiana stands first In the Union In the production of soft winter '. wheat , Indiana grows annually more than 2,500,000 acres of wheat The average yitld In the state for the past ten years has been 13.3 bushels per acre. An Increase of five bushels in the average yield per acre would mean an annual increase in the value of the crop of $12,500,000. " The average yield of wheat grown under ordinary farm conditions on the Purdue Experiment Station Farm for the past 25 years has been 28 bushels per acre. Experiments In 10 representative counties of the state have shewn an average gain due to fertilization of wheat of 11.6 bushels' per acre. The average cost per acre of fertilization was $3.67, leaving a net profit per acre of $7.55. In a comparison of wheat grown continuously on land with that of wheat in a four course rotation with clover, it was found that the plats in the rotation yielded 5.6 bushels per acre greater thaiwthe plats in the continuous wheat series. The Experiment Station believes that with more. attention given to the securing of suitable varieties of wheat proper grading of the seed, rotating of crops, fertilization of the soil, treatment of the seed for disease and the combating of insects which attack the crops, a material increase In the total production of wheat can be made. - If Wayne county farmers will just spare the time and the stamp and paper to send for this great bulletin on wheat growing, they will and In It a mine of information which, if they will but thoroughly study and ' understand, will enable them to grow greater, quantities of wheat on the same acreage. In this way can they help reduce the high cost of living for the man who works in town, and still make more profit - Send for that bulletin Now! 4
