In Annual Report to Commercial Club Committee Indorses Penal Farm Bill Commends Grand Jury. (Continued from Page One.) ing the extension to the hospital and to the northeastern part of the city. The announcement that the contract for the dam had been let by the Richmond Lake and Park association was greeted with applause. It was stated that the dam would he finished July 1, 1913. In the absence of George H. Knollenberg, chairman of the committee on education. Prof. T. A. Mott, presented the annual report for that committee. Mr. Mott stated that investigations have been made by the committee as to the school tax rates in various Indiana cities as compared to Richmond's school tax. Mr. Mott stated that 40 cities have been asked regarding the school tax rate and it was found that the average for these cities is 88 cents per flOO as compared to Richmond's 91 cents per $100. The difference of three cents on $100 is very slight, he stated, making Richmond's school tax rate about the average. The number of pupils per teacher in the Richmond schools was found to coincide exactly with the average. The bill for the pensioning of teachers was approved. New Rating System. The committee on Retail Merchants reported that although a new body, much work of good has been done during the past year. The new credit rating system established by this committee was found to be the best one which the city has ever had excelling by far any credit rating systems made by outside rating firms. The committee recommended that a sanction committee be formed before which all new articles sold in this city be brought for examination. This would eliminate fake agents and frauds to a large extent. At the committee's recommendation, the Garnishee bill, now pending before the state legislature was endorsed. OLD AGE. Old age as it comes in the orderly process of nature is a beautiful and majectic thinfe. It stands for experience, knowledge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, a sluggish liver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and misery. This in almost every instance is wholly unnecessary. One of Chamberlain's Tablets taken immediately after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisements See our big' window. Read our Ad tomorrow Knollenberg's Store.

A PEEP AT IRELAND. Where the Weathr Plagues You Only to Fascinate You Later. I must allow that it sometimes rains in Ireland, but Irish rain is not quite like other rain. It is, as a rule, softer than rain elsewhere, and if the truth must be told I like rain so long as one has not to say, "For tbe rain it raineth every day." Irish weather Is not so much cappricious as coquettish. It likes to plague you, if but to prepare you to enjoy the more its sunny, melting mood. It will weep and wail all night, and, lo, tue next morning Ireland is one sweet smile and seems to say: "Is it raining I was yesterday? Ah, then, I'll rain no more." And the runnels leap and laugh, and tbe pastures and very stone walls glisten: tbe larks carol on their celes tial journey: there is a pungent, healthy smell of drying peat; the mountains are all dimpled with the joy of life and sunshine; the lake lies perfectly still, content to reflect tbe overhanging face of heaven, and just won't your honor j buy the stoutest pair of homemade j hose from a barefoot, bareheaded daughter of dethroned kings with eyes like dewdrops and a voice that would charm the coin out of the most churlish purse? If on such mornings as these you do not lose your beart to Ireland it must be made of stern, unimpressionable stuff indeed. Blackwood's Magazine. Spiteful. Edith So you are really engaged at last!

" JvT 'U CHANGES IN WORDS. How, For Instance, "Boor" Was Transformed Into "Neighbor." Word building is as much a piece of carpentry as is house building: only it takes longer, sometimes a century or more, and by thnt time the word's first meaning is usually changed. For example, the old word for "neighbor" was "sib." One's good neighbor was known as one's "good sib." This became shortened to "godsib" and later to "gossip." Then tbe word's whole meaning changed and gossip no longer meant good ceishbor. but applied to the sort of talk exchanged between good neighbors. Take the word "farmer." too. The old word for farmer was "boor." And "boor" later was used for describing farmer-like or rough persons. The farnfer living nearest to one was known as the "nlghboor." and this phrase in course of time was twisted to "neighbor." You've heard the proverb "Little pitchers have big ears." Well, it doesn't refer to the utensil that holds water or goes to the corner side door. "Pitcher" was a slang term with some such meaning as our word "chap" or "fellow." Thus "Little fellows have big ears" is a more sensible rendering of the proverb. Chicago Journal. Where He Drew the Line. M. de Sainte-Beuve. the popular French writer, once fought a duel.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE By Fire in Fountain City School Building.
Palladium Special.) FOUNTAIN CITY.-Ind, Feb. 11. A small fire was discovered at the school building Monday caused by the heat of the furnaces firing an accumu-; lation of small paper scraps and oily dirt inside one of the corridor heater j nines. The falling or tne Girt ana : scraps through the floor radiator caused the accumulation in the pipe. The fire was easily extinguished. The Theaters THE MURRAY. The boy violinist and the rag-time accompanist were the hits of the Monday afternoon presentation at the Murray, It goes to prove that now and then the really good thing is recognized. Miss Salisbury, the pianist, is one icf the best known rag-time composers in this country, her music being played from coast to coast. That she can Interpret her own and others's compositions with melody and vivacity was demonstrated yesterday afternoon. Miss Salisbury's musical monologue was also cleverly done and took with the audience. The boy the writer has no program showed conspicuous talents, handling hiB instrument with ease and acumen and giving a rich, broad and i melodious tone. A wire performer, who opens the bill is worth seeing; a young man and woman who give a song and dancing act, are attractive and refined, the girl having an excellent voice; and three acrobats do some interesting stunts which meet with appreciation, j Menlo Moore, the vaudeville producer, is putting out some entertaining ! things, and among them is "The Stage Door Johnnies" which headlines the bill this week. The scenic effects are striking, the costuming, effective, the solo and ensemble numbers good and the comedian amusing. Just why some frequenters of the j vaudeville think they can give an ex- ! hibition of bad manners simply for the j reason that they pay only a ten cent j entrance admission, is one of the ob sessing mysteries. Some low-brow twice disturbed the audience and these on the stage by loud guffaws yesterday afternoon. The management should eject all such vulgarians. They have no place in a respectable amusement house. E. G. W. DIPPING THE FLAG. On of the Oldest of All Methods of Marine Greeting. The salutation given when a vessel lowers or ."dips" its nag is one of the oldest and most honorable ef all forms of murine greeting. This form of salute has always been demanded by English speaking seamen, and its exaction has burned tbe heart.- aud tbe powder of generations of naval commanders. In tbe old days for a foreign ship, whether merchant or naval, to enter an English Krt without veiling topsails or dipping its national flag was to run the risk of war, although the profoundest peace existed. Without warning or argument the shore defenses or a man of war would j send a round shot across the bows or between the masts of the foreigner, and if tbe offending flag did not instantly come down tbe insolent intruder was brought to ber senses by being raked through and through. Such was the reception accorded by Sir John Hawkins in the sixteenth century to the Spanish admiral who, in time of peace, sailed into Portsmouth sound without veiling his topsails or lowering his flag. Salutes are essential matters of naval etiquette and are exchanged on an elaborate code fixed by the maritime powers. The number of guns to be fired under all circumstances is minutely stipulated.
