How About That Fly Campaign? If Noah had swatted the two pet flies of his ark zoo as soon as a landing was made after the big flood, it would not be necessary now to worry about how to exterminate these dangerous little disease carriers, but because Noah did not perform this public service it is not too late to undertake it at this time. The fly extermination movement is general all over the country, but Richmond has so far taken little interest in it. But it is high time that our citizens take a hand in this work, looked upon with amusement at first, but now receiving the serious consideration of all people interested in improving the standard of health conditions and the prevention of thousands of deaths all over the nation annually. Once more the Palladium urges that a campaign against the flies in this locality be inaugurated before the millions of these deadly insects in this community have increased in numbers until they will be counted by the billions, claiming their annual toll of our citizens. Some plan of eliminating the breeding places of the flies is necessary and.it is suggested that the Commercial Club health committee could

outline such a campaign and direct it with the co-oceration of the city government. In the

meantime guerilla warfare can be waged against the insects in every home, business house and i factory in the city, The latter work is import

ant, but it is essential that the breeding places of these little foes of mankind be done away with. Such places should not be tolerated even

though there were no flies. Only $10,000, but Let's Have It Indiana is as badly in need of good roads as any state in the union, except a few in the far west and south of the Ohio river, but this important question has been consistently ignored both by the Marshall and Ralston administrations. Not only has the state refused to give proper encouragement to the movement for the building and maintenance of good highways, but it has also ignored the federal government's offer of $10,000 to encourage good roads in Indiana. This offer was first made to Governor Marshall,

but the agriculture department received no reply. Then the offer was made to Governor Ralston on March 7 and the federal authorities are still awaiting an answer. True $10,000 is not much for such work, but it could have been used in the construction of a model roadbed along some part of the famous National Road, for instance. The acceptance of the government's offer would also be an encouragement to congress to broaden the scope of its road building policy. If every state followed Indiana's example of refusing federal appropriations for good roads, congress would rightly consider that the commonwealths were opposed to such a national policy. Have both of our Democratic administrations taken the stand that the action of congress infringes on state's rights?

The east end playground is not used by adults

because it is in the possession of the youngsters

nearly all the time. So the average young man or young woman of Richmond, anxious for outdoor exercise, finds no place to bat up fly balls, volley tennis balls or crack out long drives with golf clubs. Consequently the young man takes his exercise playing pool in the evenings and the young woman, pale and nervous from confinement in stuffy offices, stores or factories, passes away her time at her home, at the theaters or at dances. At Glen Miller park there are any number of acres which are not being put to any practical use. Why not fill these acres with baseball diamonds and tennis courts, and, if possible, lay out a public golf course and an athletic field with a cinder track?

THE NEW G. O. P. ORGAN

"Apropos of the determination of some old leaders to reorganize along the ancient lines, the announcement Is made that Colonel George B. Lockwood, of Muncle, Is to Btart a state Republican paper or organ. Calonel Lockwood is a clever and forceful writer. For years he has been a leader among the old-line Republicans, but he never has shown a disposition to recognize any of the socalled advanced ideas that were making good with people from one end of Indiana to the other. "In the force of the Btorm that broke over the party in Indiana because of the enactment of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law. Colonel Lockwood like Mr. Hemenway, Mr. Watson, Colonel Durbln and others, attempted to make the people like it, and the result was that the party was sloughed to a fare-ye-well. "The appearance of Colonel Lockwood's state paper will be awaited with curiosity, because it is generally believed that he shares and reflects the views of Mr. Watson, Mr. Hemenway and the rest of the old guard that hasn't awakened from the opiate it received In the last campaign. If Colonel Lockwood will continue his efforts to lead the Republicans into the old pathways the Democratic and Progressive leaders will be very well satisfied." R. G. Tucker in the Cincinnati Enquirer.

t MAY IS BUILDING HER HOUSE By Richard Le Gallienne

May is building her house. With apple blooms She is roofing over the glimmering rooms; Of the oak and the beech hath she builded its beams. And. spinning all day at her secret looms, With arras of leaves each wlnd-wayed wall She pictureth over, and peopleth It all With echoes and dreams. And singing of streams. May is building her house. Of petal and blade, Of the roots of the oak is the flooring made. With a carpet of mosses and lichen and clover, Each small miracle over and over. And tender, traveling green things strayed. Her windows, the morning and evening star, And her rustling doorways, ever ajar With the coming and going Of fair things blowing, The thresholds of the four winds are. May Is building her house. From the dust of things

She is making the songs and the, flowers and the wings;

From October's tossed and trodden gold . She is making the young year out of the old; Yea! out of winter's flying sleet She Is making all the summer sweet,

And the brown leaves spurned of November's feet

She is changing back again to spring's. Harper's Magazine.

A Practical Use of Glen Miller , Through an understanding reached by the city and the Starr Piano company another playground for the children of Richmond is provided. This new recreation place is located in the south end, which section of the city has long been in need of just such a place. Public playgrounds are not only necessary for the children of any municipality, but for young men and women as well. So far the movement in this city has been no more comprehen

sive than to encourage school children to take interest in wholesome, health-giving sports, such as tennis, baseball and track and field games, but the playgrounds movement locally should be broadened to encourage young men and women, especially those who spend most of their time working indoors without taking the proper amount of exercise, to take more interest in outdoor sports. In the parks of most of the larger cities the most popular features now are baseball diamonds, tennis courts, cinder paths for running, and golf courses. One of the principal reasons for the remarkable popularity of the late Tom Johnson, former mayor of Cleveland, was his whole-hearted encouragement of outdoor sports for young men and women in that city. In one of the large Cleveland parks he had a number of baseball diamonds laid out, also tennis, courts and golf courses, to which flocked hundreds of tired clerks, factory hands, stenographers and store employes every day after work. On the ball diamonds, tennis courts, etc., they got the proper amount of exercise nature requires and then returned to their homes, ready for a hard day's work on the morrow and very much better citizens. There are a number of tennis courts in Richmond and quite a number of baseball diamonds, but the diamonds for the most part are used by semi-professional teams and the courts are prac-

BITS OF BYPLAY

CITY'S EXECUTIVE MAY BE ARRESTED, T1S SAID

Stop watches will be given patrolmen in an effort to time some of the automobile speeders who have been exceeding the city speed limit in defiance of the police. The people are unable to furnish proof of the speed of the machines, although it is known that many are run faBter than Is allowed by law. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he does not believe that the patrolmen will be able to ascertain the speea of automobiles unless they are furnished with motorcycles equipped with speedometers. Chief of Police Gormon believes that this was said because the mayor owns an automobile. The chief stated that Mayor Zimmerman will be timed in his automobile as soon as the stop watches are procured, and that if he exceeds the speed limit he will be arrested, as would any other auto driver or owner.

EDITH FOUCH Her frail little body racked by disease, Edith Fouch, 11, was wasting away at the home of her parents, 1620 Nell street, Anderson, Ind.. in April, 1912. She had lost until she weighed only 67 pounds, her constitution was run down, and her appetite and sleep were very poor. About this time a friend told Mrs. Fouch of Nature's Creation, the standard remedy for tuberculosis, asthma, rundown system and bronchial troubles, and she bought a bottle. Now, read the child's letter, dated Feb. S, 1913: "I am very glad that Nature's Creation has saved my life. Last year I was in bed about all the time and my uncle told my mother about Nature's Creation. I have been taking It every day and am gaining six pounds a month. I can run and play like other children and am so happy and glad. I am going to school every day and now weigh 81 pounds. Tours truly. Miss Edith Fouch." Mrs. Mary Fouch, writing on February 3, 1913, says: "We are more than pleased with the way our daughter ia getting along. She weighs more now than she ever has, in her life, looks well, eats and sleeps Well. We can't express words enough of joy. I know she would not have been here to-day if It had not been for Nature's Creation. We can not praise it enough. Excuse me for bragging so much, but I can not help it."
