.RAItlS A BENEFIT ! TO WHEAT GROWERS Moisture Soaks Ground and I Assures Grain Good and 'i Early Start

; . . Rains of the last few days have , proved very acceptable to farmers. i -Early last week reports from over the county Indicated the wheat crop was J in need of rain, as the surface soil ' ;was getting very dry. . Farmers say that aside from the melting of the heavy snows which (Covered the ground for several weeks after Christmas, there has been little rainfall. A great deal of water from :the melting snow ran off Into ditches and streams before the surface of the around thawed,-and as a consequence theere was hardly enough moisture In the ground to start plant growth. Recent rains have furnished enough ' moisture to assure the wheat crop an 'early growing start as the weather bejgins to moderate. Reports from farms are to the effect that the wheat has j wintered unusually well, and is deeply rnntmi and well tillered out. Alfalfa I that was planted last summer is also said to be In fine condition as a reisult of the late fall, and favorable VInter. Farmers have been plowing for the last three weeks on the better drained tjand, and early spring work is well 'advanced on many farms. A large area of clover has been sowed, and local seed dealers say that there has heen an unprecedented demand for high-grade seed this year. Many orders have also been placed for alfalfa seed by farmers who expect to plant this spring instead of waiting for the more favorable season in mid-summer. PLAN FESTIVAL (Continued from Page One.) for this event can be worked out in good time by public-spirited civic organizations, citizens and city off iciala. : In my opinion, at least one week should be devoted to the formal celebration of the city's centennial. E. M. Haas, secretary of the Commercial club, when the plan to observe the one hundredth anniversary of the city's founding was mentioned to him today, indorsed it enthusiastically. "I think every citizen of Richmond will approve of this suggestion." he said. "The plan has never been discussed by the club, but I feel safe In saying that the club members will do everything in their powento make the celebration a success." Bavls Prilses Idea. President Bavis of the board of public works also expressed the hope that the proposed celebration would be a most pretentious one. "There are many things which can be done to observe Richmond's centennial," said Mr. Bavis, "but I sincerely hope that the opportunity to erect a beautiful archway at Glen Miller park, in observance of the founding of Richmond and as a tribute to our gallant citizens who served in the civil war will not be overlooked." . c -.- No one was more enthusiastic in in dorsing the centennial proposal than ! Prof.. J. "T: 'Giles, superintendent of, the city schools. For some time Mr. ! Giles has been proposing the holding of an historical pageant on a large j scale next year in celebration of the centennial anniversary of Indiana's admission into the union as a state. He said that he did not know until today that next year was also the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Richmond. "That is an additional incentive for a municipal celebration in Richmond next year, and I will do everything in my power to make it a complete success. An historial pageant, in which hundreds of school children could participate, would review the important events in the history of the state and city and would be a most unique event. Any number of people have assured me that they will give every assistance possible for the organization of the pageant. I would suggest that the preliminary work incidental to the celebration of the centennial be started as soon as possible. Andrew W. Young in his History of Wayne County, published in 1872, now out of print, tells in detail of the founding of the city of Richmond. In part it reads: : "In 1816 John Smith laid out into town lots the land along Front and Pearl streets, south of Main street. The survey was made by David Hoover, and lots were five poles wide and eight poles back. An acre called the public square was reserved by Smith for such public uses as he should think proper. The plat, it appears, was a small one. "The date of the birth of the town is generally supposed to be 1S16. It had no corporate existence until after Cox's i addition in 1818, which embraces lands north of Main street and west of Marion street."

Armored

1 ' ' f-t-Si

Armored railroad trains are being used by the warring nations almost effectively as armored motorcars. The drawback that they, can operate only, along the railroad tracks is more than offset by the advantage in size and weight they possess and their ability to withstand artillery attacks. In the Carpathians, the Austrians are operating armored trains, shunted from the western theatre of war, in their terrific efforts to drive back the Russians.

Pen Versus Sword Being the Reflection of An Observer on the War Raging in Europe.

James Bennett, . war correspondent, in an. .article, to. the. Chicago Tribune, expresses sentiments that have won the admiration of many truth-loving people, . particularly German-Americans. Concerning the real feeling of Germany for its great leaders, he writes, "General von Hindenberg is a national hero." Bennett refutes, the statement that he is loved more than the kaiser. Von Hindenberg is a great strategist and is loved for his manly character. But the kaiser is . the favorite of all the Germans. Even the Socialist party is fighting with the kaiser and the fatherland. The kaiser is Idolized almost as superhuman, and why? His love for truth and his people , is his one ideal. The English, French and antiGerman press of America, has, in every way tried to falsify the real situation, to belittle the kaiser, but the more slander, the more love grows in the German people for their kaiser. Thousands of letters, sent here from Germany contain this expression: "God save our beloved kaiser." The writer is opposed to imperial government and loves the rule of a republic by its people but he exposes truth fcr the love of truth. - -VA Gad-fearhig Race. The kaiser system roay be wrong, but that gives no one a right to slander any man by lies. Bismarck said, "Gr-rmany fears nobody but God." Bismarck expressed no arrogance or false pride. Every intelligent person knows that was, as a rule, are religious, Godfearing people, and believe truth prevails against the gates of hell. The writer believes that any system that permits war is wrong, and still who can doubt the sincerity of a nation like the Germans fighting for

what It holds most sacred: the fatherland. '' ' - L . . Bernhardi, the great exponent of militarism, is wrong, and many condem his views., The pen ought to be stronger than the sword. Rather would I choose Bertha von Suttner's ideal of universal arbitration, in her volume, "Lay Down Your Arms." She takes a stand against some churches for being factors in upholding military power and uniformed ranks. She is Christianlike, inasmuch as she expounds the real Christian spirit, lover your neighbor as yourself. War can not be possible where Christ is in power. War is the one black spot of , hell that mars all evolution and progress. It puts things back for centuries. Some people think this war will do no good. No! Never! It can not heak the bloody cancer and sore of hatred between nations for centuries. Evil committed can not be undone. Thousands of innocent babes yet to come will condemn the day of their birth for being robbed of the grandest thing in life, father and mother. As a loyal American, although in great sympathy for the land Of my ancestors, I submit this hoping to help evolute the higher though. The pen is mightier than the-BWdrd. - ; AN OBSERVER.
