A surprise of the most genuine type was that given Mr. and Mrs. John Caldwell, Sunday at their home the Caldwell hotel. Several of their local friends entered the hotel at the noon hour, but as they are accustomed to having guests at Sunday dinner, thought little in regard to the earlier arrivals aside from the fact, but when Mrs. Caldwell saw the faces of two

relatives from out of town, she real ized the true import of the visit, and before she had time to extend a wel come, one after another appeared, until quite a company had assembled After greetings were exchanged and Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell had clearly demonstrated that they were aurpris' 4, the long tables were quickly pread, a jar of beautiful azaleas, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. D.

COUNCILMEN STAND (Continued from Page One.) ment, adding that the question of a bond issue had never been discussed by the board. "As to a bond issue, he said, "I am not opposed to one if it is imperative and can be handled right, but I am opposed to issuing bonds at this time or in the near future. I have talked with a number of citizens on this matter and they are unanimously of this same opinion." He said that within a few years he expected the legislature would provide for the purification of streams, which would mean an enormous bond Issue for Richmond to re-arrange its sewer system. He advised a policy of gradual permanent improvements. Mr. Howells, the next speaker, said that he did not know how the city was ever going to be able to finance needed improvements unless bonds were floated. He pointed to the fact that with the city's income at a stationary figure while the city itself was steadily gowing," council had for several years been required to practice the sharpest kind of economy to keep the operating expenses of the city within its income. "I most certainly favor a moderate bond issue at this time." City Demands Improvements. Mr. O'Neal declared tliat the city could no longer delay embarking on a comprehensive policy of permanent improvements. He said lie did not think it necessary to float $150,000 n bonds at one time, but that the bonds should be floated as requirements demanded. "Bad as many of the most important streets need to be paved, our crying need is a better sewer system. The North E street Sewer and the south end sewer should be provided at once,-' he said. "Because of the North E street sewer's inadequacy to meet a damage suit for $20,000, filed by the Adam H. Bartel company, against the city is now pending. As a city official it may 6eem strange for me to say this, but if I were Mr. Bartel I would press that suit to see whether the city is or is not liable. In my opinion, you can't blame the almighty for everything. As to criticism for authorizing a bond issue, that does not disturb me in the least. I also realize that council will have to force through the majority of the proposed improvements." C. W. Jordan, secretary r-f th.3 ComFor Lumbago, Sore Throat and Neuralgia, Mustarine is Best It Won't Blister Always as ReadyJust Rub it on It Penetrates.

A rather unique surprise was arranged last evening in honor of Mrs. W. B. Garver and carried out successfully to the minutest detail. The guests came to the Garver home on South Ninth street masked and wearing queer costumes, some representing rag pickers, tramps and other like characters. The affair was in the nature of a hard times party. Among the gay masqueraders were grind organ men, street venders and others too numerous to mention. The evening was spent playing games and with music. Such songs as "Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl," "Work Eight Hours," etc., were given.

Mrs. Lee B. Nusbaum was hostess yesterday afternoon for a meeting of the Dorcas society at her home on North Eleventh street. Mrs. Edgar Hamilton was a guest. The afternoon mercial club, who said he was not present in that capacity, but merely as an Interested citizen, when called upon for remarks emphatically endorsed Mr. Bavis and council for the views they held on the necessity of inaugurating an improvement policy. "Council must plan for the future," he said, "the same as a good business man would. If there is an essential need for more money to properly care for the city's interest than you will have at your command for the next twenty years, then go out and get the money. There are several things you must take under consideration. Will $150,000 be enough to finance the needed improvements? Will the city have something satisfactory and permanent after the money has been spent? City Only Patches Streets. "We are woefully backward in our street system. We are continually patching, patching, patching and at the same time throwing our money away. As for myself I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to float $150,000 in bonds if the monev was neoriori and the city is to be benefited by its ex- j penunure, ana Dy providing tne proposed improvements I believe the city would be benefited. "I was greatly surprised when Mr. Bavis told me that these bonds could be floated without a tax increase. I examined his figures and let me tell you his proposition is not the dream of an idler. It is a good, sound business proposition. "Better streets and sewers mean better property values and a better city. They will benefit everybodyparticularly the affected property owners. Money spent for betterments is not money wasted, but an investment." Bad Roads Mean Loss. In indorsing a permanent Improvement policy Councilman Russell said that there was no relief in sight for this city, so far as needed improvements were concerned, for a number of years if the city expected to provide them out of its income. "In the meantime, under such a system, the city would not be well cared for," he said. "Bad streets are a dead loss to the city's business and a mighty poor advertisement. Lately I have visited every city in this district and I am not proud of our streets in comparison with streets I saw in other towns. "Let us borrow money, if necessary, to provide for better streets and sewers. Any live business man, if he cannot provide needed betterments out of the surplus of his business does not hesitate to borrow money. I am glad we are at last facing the future and are prepared to map out 6ome policy of permanent improvements; that we are to abandon the old policy of existing from hand to mouth. "In improving our streets I would at first confine this work to the streets in the central business districts, then to the main arteries leading out of the city. There is no disputing the need of a better sewer system. The condition of some sewers Is not only a menace to property but to the health of the community."

FINLY GRAY STANDS FOR ONE SHIP PLAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Representative Finly H. Gray of Connersvllle, Ind., who Is a member of the committee on naval affairs, has decided to take a stand in favor of the authorization of only one new battle ship in the bill which will soon be framed by the naval committee. The administration program of late years has been two battleships a year. "There is no need to get hysterical because there is a war in Europe," saidiMr. Gray. "Let us see what comes of that war and we may learn some valuable lessons as to the sort of fighting craft that is most to be desired. A battle ship, at best, is junk after a few years.''

Maple Tree: Mystery Re-told for Children Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley Writes Nature Story.

The hard maple or sugar maple, is the one among many,, most Interesting to us; it Is named, Acer saccharinum, from the pointed leaves, which are heart shaped at the base, with three to five lobes. The growth of the tree is very symmetrical, it Is one of our ornamental shade trees, growing to the height of seventy or eighty feet. The wood Is valuable for cabinet work, for fuel, and is highly esteemed for making charcoal. The flowers are small, appearing in clusters, on very slender, hairy pedicles, they are of a greenish-yellow color, and abound in honey, very attractive to the bees. The fruit ripens in October, it is a double-winged samara; a pair of fruit pods winged from the apex; this is nature's provision for sowing the seed in distant fields. A maple-orchard, or sugar-brush adds much value to a piece of land. The best trees have a short, cylindrical trunk and a large branching system that begins about ten feet from the ground, this gives a wide-spread leaf area. Before we are through with this study you will understand what the leaves have to do with our supply of maple-syrup. The average annual maple-sugar crop in the United States approximates 45,000,000 pounds, and is valued at $2,636,711. Maple-sugar making was established among the Indians, and the early settlers learned the art from them. In January or February, when the rain has softened the ground, and melted the ice the farmer taps his trees, builds a fire under his evaporating pans, and prepares to spend ten days, or two weeks in the sugar-camp. The sap flows when the sun shines, but Snapshots of Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Barton entertained Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Spencer of Dallas, Tex., and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Nossett and daughters, Misses Clara and Hannah. Mr. Spencer, who is a brother of Mesdames Nossett and Barton, has been transferred from Dallas to Indianapolis, in charge of the offices of the M. Rumely Company. Clement L. Jones, farmer, living on the National road west, has been appointed to fill the vacancy on the Preble County Agricultural society, made vacant by the death of J. Grant Hawley. Leroy McCoy and George Gephart were also applicants. Mrs. B. O'Bannon and daughter, Miss Ethel of Richmond, were Sunday guests of Mrs. Alice F. Donler. Mrs. Marcus Penland was called to Ithaca Sunday by the serious illness of her sister. Dr. Dennis to Talk. Whitewater Valley Grange is preparing to have Dr. David W. Dennis of Richmond present his lecture on the Panama canal at an early date. The lecture will be illustrated. Mrs. J. G. Auld has returned from New Madison where she spent a few days with Mrs. William Patterson, who is nursing a badly poisoned finger, the result of attempting to remove a splinter under the nail with the aid of a pin. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hawley and C. R. Hawley were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hawley. The First National bank in accordance with the call of the comptroller of the currency, has issued a statement covering the 31st ult., showing the affairs in good shape, despite the quarantine, which caused business in this community to be slack. Both banks are in splendid condition. The M. E. church will begin a series of meetings Sunday evening and

is checked by the freezing at night. This favors the farmer, who must dispose of each day's run before the sIV has time to sour, he is frequently up all night, exposed to the cold, and hard at work. : Three pounds of sugar is considered a good yield for each tree, this represents less than four per cent, of the sugar present in a good sized tree, but the sap cannot all be taken without Injury. As the spring advances, the leaf-buds throw off their winter coats, and present the tender, green leaves to the air and sunshine. You. know, that the leaves are the lungs of the tree. Scientists have discovered that they are busy, during the hot summer days in separating carbon and oxygen from the air and sunshine, and converting it into starch, to be stored in the sap-cells of the limbs and trunk of the tree. When the frost comes, the work of the leaves Is done, they are ready for a holiday; then, dressed in scarlet and gold, they dance In the sunshine, or falling, play hide-and-seek with the wind, until the snows of winter overtake them. The tree la brown and bare, you might think it had died, but if you could look within, and see the ferments at work, breaking up the starch and mixing it with sap to make sugar, you would be amazed at the transformations going on in nature's alchemical laboratory. The rain will come again, and the spring sunshine will draw water up through the roots to dissolve the sugar and feed the bursting buds. The fairies in the sunbeams, will carry carbon to the young leaves, and soon the starch factory will be in full operation.

New Paris are fortunate in securing Prof. Elbert Russell of Earlham, who will speak every night next week, beginning Sunday evening. Albert Alexander of Richmond spent the latter part of the week here with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Jones of Piqua returned home Saturday after a week's visit with Messrs. and Mesdames W. E.
