AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mall Matter. Costlier Wheat and Smaller Loaf $ A week or so after the present European war broke out, the Palladium predicted the now accomplished rise in the price of wheat and flour, the threatened increase in the price of bread, and offered a remedy. Briefly we proposed that government should place an embargo on exports of wheat and flour over and above our normal exportable surplus. Believing this procedure fair alike to producer and consumer, we proposed that following this declaration of an embargo, government should establish a maximum price for wheat at a dollar a bushel and buy up at this price all wheat offered it. The wheat thus purchased by government would have represented our exportable surplus and we proposed that government should sell this to the foreign nations so greatly in need of it at the highest possible price. Had government been able to adopt such a plan as this, it would not only have reaped enormous profits through the sale of the surplus wheat at current foreign prices, but it would also have eliminated the nowapproaching danger of a shrinking loaf for its citizens. Now that the open door advertises the fact that the thief has left with his booty, the people are beginning to awaken to a realization of their lo3s and are crying for a lock. In order to get back the original size of their loaf, more and more people both individually and through associations are asking government for an embargo on wheat. During the past seven months, however, agents of foreign governments have been busily engaged in buying up wheat for future delivery. Any embargo our government might now declare would have to take into account these foreign contracts. Therefore, regardless of what meas

ures are adopted, if the war lasts beyond this year, as it seems bound to, it is a very dubious hope for average American families to expect longer to enjoy normal bread prices. That old immutable law of demand and supply is working against them and the reason it is able to work against them with impunity, and with such repetition is because, individually and collectively, the

citizens of the United States tend so much to the use of hindsight rather than of foresight. Causes of Luxury Parents and not the young are to blame, says the Lafayette Courier, for the increasing tendency of the day to make luxuries rather than more serious considerations the chief end of existence. The remedy, says the same paper, is for parents to use their natural authority to restrain their children and be careful that they set no example of luxurious and idle living. The Palladium cannot join in this wholesale condemnation of the parents. It smacks too much of the obsolete theory of holding the individual responsible for all the ills and evils of the universe and, for not being able to pass through them unscathed, to consign the poor individual to hell fire and everlasting torment. In this day and age, we recognize the influence of environment and economic pressure upon the individual. If environment is changing and

instead of offering opportunities to the young to become interested in the serious considerations of life is encouraging them, because making it easier, to participate in the delectable mysteries of lobster palaces, don't blame any individual. Look behind the scenes for the economic causes. You will find a system that is producing both the overrich and the overpoor through the gradual elimination of that leavening influence, the middle class. Overrichness is troubled by monotony and seeks relief in wild spending and in luxurious and even riotous living.' Overpoorness also suffers from monotony and seeks temporary forgetfulness of its lot in extravagance and riotous living under the spell and example set by overrichness. The individual might as well be blamed for the failure of the sun to shine through the clouds as to be held responsible for the effects due to the workings of a social or economic system. Given such a wrong system and evil will inevitably result for the human race. Given a right system and humanity will evolve a decent and just mode of living, in which luxuries will serve their purpose as means to the end and not as the end itself.

RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEM DISCUSSED AT CENTER TOWNSHIP INSTITUTE

Mr!. Julia Fried Walker of India-1 children to

T ..., . calves and hogs have the right kind Township Farmer' Institute last night of sheiter, care and feed, but who have on "The Rural School Problem," at never been inside the school house Centervllle. The subject previously I that their children attend. They know

announced for her talk was "Dreams, and How to Make Them Come True," but Mrs. Walker asked to be allowed to make the change, feeling that the other subject would be more appropriate at this meeting. "We all have our problems," said Mrs. Walker, "from the professional man to the school children. And we tre all working night and day to lolve them. "Some time ago I attended two large national meetings where the rural school problems were discussed. am sure that some of the speakers never were inside of a rural school, ind yet they solved that problem In k hundred different ways. My work takes me all over the state of Indiana and Into hundreds of schools. I set out to find what the rural School problem really was. I think I have found it, and I am here to tell you tonight that the rural school problem, Is that of gaining a stronger relationship between our children and their parents. Shame of Children. "I wonder how many boys and girls here1 tonight are ashamed of their parents? I know of a girl who is ashamed of her parents because they hold family worship every morning. I know of another girl who is ashamed of her father because he goes to the table with his coat off. These things are the direct result of allowing our

absolutely nothing about the kind of teacher that is watching over their children. "I ask you boys and girls who are here tonight to get better acquainted with your parents. Learn to know them and you will be proud of them, f roblem's Solution.

"If the parents will take a greater interest in the school and public life of their children they will be drawn closer to them and when this better relationship is established, the rural school problem will be solved." A program of music and recitations was given under the direction of Miss Bessie Buhl, that proved very entertaining. Two piano solos were given by Miss Mary Wilson. A number was given by a young ladles quartette. Miss Buhl gave two readings. The hit of the evening was the initial appearance of the Miniature quartette which consisted of four little children who sang several selections and did some clever acting. At the close of the meeting, the chairman, Joe A. Commons, appointed the following members to act as a membership committee: Ralph McMinn, Clifford King, Lawrence McConaha, Marcus Reynolds, A. O. Halsley and Arthur Crowe. A nominating committee consisting of Ralph McMinn, Clifford King and John Sraelser, was appointed to report at noon today.

COMPOSERS

ART DISCUSSED BY MUSIC STUDY CLUB Compositions From Feminine Musical Writers Engross Attention of Members at Recent Meeting. Mrs. Charles Marvel, in a paper read before the Music Study club Wednesday morning in the public art gallery, gave interesting biographical details relating to women composers, the subject for the morning, the program following, arranged by Mrs. Longnecker and Miss Halcey Harold, being made

up of composition from feminine writers. Women have never produced with much virility in this field or art, but both their song and instrumental output possesses almost invariably a peculiar emotional appeal, and is rich in melody. Chaminade, perhaps the most widely known contemporaneous composer, is noticeable for these two qualities shown in the several illustration that followed. Please Audience. Particularly was this heard in the last number, "Air de Ballet," an instru

mental trio by Miss Schalk, piano; Miss Hutton, violin, and Miss Lucile Nusbaum, violoncello, the strings being used in charming effect in combination, these three young players, through their constant association in ensemble playing, having been giving some of the most enjoyable exhibitions of local musical accomplishment heard by the Music Study club this season. Miss Runge and MissrAJta;cPl)erson opened the program with Chami-

nade's 'Etude Symphonique," a twopiano number., which displayed the composed in another phase of hher product, more virile than the number just mentioned, and played with much appreciation of its spirited motive by Miss Runge and Miss McPherson. Mrs. Harry Doan's appearance .in two songs by San Souci, "My Heart is Singing," and "Mammy's Rosebud," was one of the best of the morning, Mrs. Doan's Boprano lending itself to the interpretation of these two charming lyrics with fine effect, their poetic character being recognized by the singer. Played Here. Mrs. Doan's number was prefaced by a few remarks by Mrs. Lewis King, president of the club, relative to the personality of the composer, Sans Souci being a young woman and having at one time appeared in this city in an organ recital given at the First Presbyterian church. Mary Helen Brown was represented on the program with a vocal trio, Mrs. Longnecker, Mrs. Russell Wright and Mrs. Otto Krone, "Snowflakes," the composition being also full of lyric quality and melodious passages. Mrs. Russell Wright also appeared in solo in the most pretentious vocal number of the morning, "The Cry of Rachel," by Mary Turner Salter. Mrs. Wright, formerly Miss Edith Duke, and a leading local vocalist, giving the dramatic character of this composition and intelligent and muBicianly rendition. The number was difficult, and Mrs. Wright's successful presentation received much applause. Music Appeals. Little Miss Katheryn Bartel delighted her audience with her three short numbers by Esther Gronow, Miss Bartel giving promise of much future achievement and showing herself possessed of musical gifts especially evident in the last of the group of three, "The Firefly," a lovely little musical idyl. Miss Harold, who arranged the intrumental part of the program, with Mrs. Lewis Reynolds, gave the third Chaminade number of the morning, this also being given at two pianos, and further illustrating the peculiar nature of Chaminade's products. Mrs. Longnecker, who arranged the vocal numbers for the morning, appeared in two solos, "The Spring Has

SURPRISES MANAGER

Cincinnati Man Amazed at

Proficiency of Young Talent in City. Frank Edwards, former -business

manager of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, and who now conducts a

musical, booking agency, was in town this week to call on Supervisor Ralph

C. Sloan, and happened to be here at

the time of the high school orchestra rehearsal. : Mr. Sloan had the orchestra play a

symphonic number for Mr. Edwards,

who expressed much surprise that an organization of amateurs could at

tempt such an ambitious composition. After hearing the number be said: "I am amazed at the proficiency shown, by this organization. There Is not another high school orchestra in the United States that could do It I am positive. They don't play like amateurs but professionals. -

Longnecker's fine contralto as to give

a vivid picture of the sons motive;

and "My Soul," by Carrie Jacobs Bond,

one of the most widely known women

song composers of tbe day, whose work has the emotional appeal previously re

ferred to. .

At tbe annual election preceding th-i program, Mrs. Lewis King announced her intention and wish to withdraw

from the board of directors and presidency, the latter of which she has filled for five years, stating her reasons for this were her belief that the club should be more numerously represented officially on the board. Miss Mildred Schalk alo announced her intention of withdrawing from the board cf directors for much the same reasons and the club accepted both withdrawals. Mrs. Marvel and Miss Ethel Huber were elected to the board, which

still retains the other three members, Mrs. Krueger, Miss Carolyn Hutton and Mrs. George Eggemeyer. The entire official readjustment was deferred until the next meeting. A picture was taken of the club members at the beginning of the session for reproduction in a publication for the Panama exposition. On Tuesday evening the ennual party of the club will be given a the residence of Mrs. Marvel on North Tenth street, and each member is permitted to invite one' guest. The affair will be a costume party.

Dandruff Surely Destroys the Hair

Russia's population is increasing at the rate of 2,500,000 a year, it is said. It now stands at about 147,000,000, of which 100,000,000 are peasants. ,

Girls if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be- gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug-store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need, no matter lw much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv.

Distinctive Westcott Features

It will be interesting to realize that the rapid advances now being made by the Westcott Motor Car Company are due largely to the unusual attractiveness of these new Westcott Models. The ever-dominating characteristic of Westcott automobiles; namely, "Built on Honor," quality, is maintained in its highest degree in both the Four-cylinder, five-passenger model and the Six-cylinder seven-passenger model. It is the Westcott ambition to not only maintain the mechanical perfection already recognized, but in addition to build cars so attractive in general appearance and detail of appointment and finish, that
