The Woman in the Country The conditions surrounding women who work in the factory, office and store have been studied by social investigators. Much has been said about changes necessary to bring more sunshine and happiness into their lives, and many practical reforms have been brought about. The work of the woman on the farm, however, has been overlooked until within a very recent time.

The department of agriculture in the last year sent out a long list of questions to the wives

and daughters of farmers, asking about their working hours, their pleasures, their chances for

social gatherings, their hopes and ambitions. The

replies constitute an illuminating document.

The answers, of course, vary as to the disposition and the condition of the person interro

gated. In general, however, the fact was estab

lished that the woman on the farm puts in long

hard hours and has few opportunities for social recreation. The need of social activities to take

the mind from the grind of every day existence

seemed to be pretty well established by the inquiry. The dignified position of the woman on the farm needs no defense. Considering the meager chance she has to read and study, it is surpris

ing to note that many women from the farm have a better understanding of current events than do their cousins in the city. It also is noticeable that they possess good judgment resting on shrewd observation and that they are leaders in matters of social reform. That small communities and rural districts are comparatively so well governed can well be attributed to the sterling qualities of the mothers who preside with gentle moral force over their families of sturdy boys and girls.

A Great Editor Called Missouri paid honor to the memory of one of its most- distinguished citizens yesterday. It buried William Rockhill Nelson, for more than

thirty years editor of the Kansas City Star, one of the most influential newspapers in the United States. His death was a loss to journalism and

to good citizenship. The whole country recog nized his worth and paid honor to his memory.

Mr. Nelson was a creative newspaper man.

His journal bore the impress of the genius who

ruled it. It was devoted to the service of the people of Missouri. It was singularly energetic

in promoting the welfare of Kansas City. It es poused the cause of all progressive ideas in mu

nicipal affairs and home government. To the

valiant fights it led for reform ahd uplift can be traced the magnificent park system, the fine art gallery and not little of the architectural features

of Kansas City.

The editor of the Kansas City Star respected

all political parties, but bound himself to none of

them. Recognition came to him from many

sources. He declined many an offer to high office, asserting that he "held a position of greater responsibility and usefulness than any

within the gift of the President or the elector

ate." This conception of the duties of the editor

of a newspaper is a lofty one. It shows Mr. Nel

son appreciative of the importance of the power

he wielded.

RICHMOND ELECTRIC CO.

19 SOUTH 7TH ST.

TELEPHONE 2826

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., ' April 17.

Data on file with the Indiana Public Utilities commission pertaining to the

Municipal Electric plant of Richmond, Ind., and the Lights Heat and Power company's electrical plant in the same

city indicates that municipal owner

ship in Richmond at least has been a pronounced success.

Some time this summer tne commission will have a hearing for the

purpose of re-adjusting electric rates

in Richmond and to estaousn valuations of the two electric plans in that city. This case promises to be one of the most important which the commission has ever considered. The Richmond municipal plant was the firet utility in the state to petition for a reduction of rates. This utility is now establishing another precedent by petitioning for a reduction of the valuation established for it by the engineers of the commission. Float Bond Issues. The first record of the privately owned plant in Richmond shows it was purchased from the original owners in 1871 for 1100,000. During the years following there were bond issues and issues of gold certificates until in March, 1914 there was a bond issue of $3,000,000 to refund all prevjpus issues of bonds and there were issued some $1,500,000 in gold certificates, so the capitalization of the company at the present time amounts to $4,500,000. Subsequent to the public utility law going into effect in May,

1913, the company increased its cap

ital stock, then surrendered its fran

chise and went under control of the

commission. The assessed valuation of the elect

rical plant of the company has been

estimated at $281,038.95; the assessment of the gas plant of the company has been estimated at $892,787.03 and

other assessments bring the estimated

assessment of valuation up to $1,190,036.41, the company actually pays a rate of $3.26 on every $100 of taxables, but its taxation is paid only on a valuation of $325,000. Established Same Rate. The rates established by the privately owned plant are the same as established for the municipally owned plant, after the latter had decreased its rates. A comparison of the gross incoems

of the two plants during the years

1893 to 1914, so far as electrical department is concerned, shows that the municipally owned plant's gross income exceeded $300,000 while the privately owned plant shows an Income of but $144,759.44. The Income of the gas department of the latter amounted to $307,140.22. . ,.

The date for the hearing on the question of establishing new rates has

not been set by the eommittioners but

it is expected some time this summer, Nervous Indigestion. Mrs. J. F. Baldwin, Sandy Creek, N

Y., suffered a great deal from pains

Take a glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is

filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the ellminatlve tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back, hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment 'or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four

ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot Injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.
