Facing the World The Richmond high school has granted diplomas to another class of boys and girls, while the Garfield school has promoted a large-dass to the high school department. The graduation of a class from a preparatory school always carries with it sentiment of more than passing worth. The boys and girls who left the high school last week have reached a turning point in their lives. For some of them it means the end of school days and the beginning of a real contest with life; to others it brings entrance into colleges and universities and further study. But to both classes it means further education.
The boy or girl who is fortunate enough to enter a college or university will enrich his mind and broaden his horizon by accumulating some of
the learning of the ages. The boy or girl who
enters a mercantile establishment, a shop, or an office, will at once come into contact with competition, and will enter upon a course of educa
tion, which, if it is assiduously cultivated, will
sharpen his intellect and assuredly bring him success, as will hard study at a college. The world does not measure men by what they know, but by what they can do. It does not ask where and how a man obtained his knowledge, but does respect and pay for this knowledge if its owner knows how to use it. A diploma is no greater recommendation than is a list of achievements actually performed. The young man who can point back to what he has done in four years after leaving high school often stands a better show than the young man who at the end of this time can show only a sheepskin and no practical experience. This does not gainsay the fact that college
training nowadays is an asset to a young man. But unless the diploma is backed up by real power to achieve, it is not worth the time it took to attain it. After all it is the man that counts as a factor in success and not the amount of knowledge he has picked up. And success is only a relative thing in its essence. The man who works in the shop and is known as an excellent mechanic is as much a success as the man who teaches school and is rated an excellent teacher. The nation needs
good mechanics, good clerks, good business men, as much as it needs good professional men. The boy who left high school last week and is destined to a career at the bench and lathe will reflect as much credit on the Richmond schools as will the boy who later is graduated from a professional school. Surely, the whole city wishes good luck and a happy future to the boys and girls who have finished their schooling in Richmond.

Foolish Economy The city administration has pursued a "penny wise and pound foolish" policy in its action
of abolishing all fire insurance on the municipal light plant and the crematory. The narrow escape and damage to the crematory of several thousand dollars by the fire which occurred there last Saturday morning is a striking example of what might happen to either or both of the plants. Neither one of the plants is protected by automatic sprinklers and it is the height of business folly to allow the plants to go .unprotected. The installation of automatic sprinklers could be made without much expense and the cost of insurance reduced to a minimum. What manufacturing concern would think of operating its business without carrying a reasonable amount of insurance and there is no reason why the city should not be safeguarded in the same way that any manufacturing plant is protected. All reasonable precautions should be taken against the possibility of fire, thus reducing the cost of insurance. In the face of the action of the city administration in the purchase of the plant of the Light, Heat & Power company it is imperative that a policy be established which will safeguard the city's property and protect the interests of the citizens in a business like and efficient manner.
U. S. OFFERS BOYS 5-WEEK'S VACATION AT SMALL EXPENSE Government Establishes a Training Camp in Michigan for Graduates of High Schools and Colleges. Here is an opportunity the United States war department is now offering any Richmond or Wayne county young man, between the ages of 18 and 30, who has just graduated from a high school or who is now a student in some college or university, to spend a
five weeks' vacation at an actual expense of not more than $50. Uncle Sam is trying to train as many young men as possible in the rudiments of military work and for this purpose has established four students' military camps. The camp for the district in which Wayne county is
located is at Ludington, Mich., near Grand Rapids on a beautiful lake. It is under the supervision of regular army officers. Students who desire to attend these camps for five weeks do not place themselves under obligations to serve the government in the event of war. but in such event they are qualified to become officers in volunteer regiments. On admission the student must pay to the officer in charge $22.50 to meet his general expenses. Of this sum $5 is held as a deposit for any damage which might be done to government property. If no damage Is done the money is returned at the conclusion of the course of instruction. Other expenses are railroad fares and a uniform, the maximum cost of which is $10. Drill, target practice and setting up exercises are daily features of camp life but there is plenty of time for recreation and sports. Any young man who comes within the requirements can obtain application blanks from Captain Paul Cornstock, the Comstock building, Main street. These blanks must be signed by the principal of the high school or the president of the college attended by the applicant. "These camps afford an opportunity for an inexpensive, healthful and beneficial vacation and I hope there will be a number of young men in this
community who will take advantage of
the government s offer, Captain Com stock said today.

The first round of the extempore speaking contest eliminations will be held Tuesday morning and afternoon. Contests for honors will be held later.

Richmond, Ind., May 29, 1915. Editor Palladium: Commenting on whose memory shall be commemorated by a statue in Glen Miller park it would seem the logical thing to remember the man whose energy, foresight, persistence and money made a public park for Richmond. I
refer to Col. John F. Miller of 222 North Tenth street. Also Col. Miller has been a resident of Richmond more than fifty years. Her interests have been his interests and all together it would seem out of line to look further for a proper subject on whom to bestow the honor of a statue in the finest park in the land. Sincerely yours, READER.
The law has been in operation since December 1 last year. Income tax is due July 1, according to Instructions sent out by Peter J. Kruyer, collector of internal revenues for the Sixth district. The special stamp act will expire at the end of this year. Merchants and shippers have become accustomed to the use of the special stamp so there is no expression of disapproval any longer. The public has accustomed itself to the extra one cent charge on telephone and telegraph messages, heads of these companies say. Several months ago, Postmaster Beck received instructions to give office room to a deputy in the department of internal revenue collections if an office was demanded. The collector was expected to arrive in Mayor June to make some investigations of incomes, but he has not been heard from.

Stagnant Blood Given A Quick Impulse Wonderful Activity Imparted by a Famous Remedy.
The appearance of pimples, boils, skin eruptions and all evidence of impure blood, calls for S. S. S., the famous blood purifier. Cathartics, purges, bowel movers and laxatives won't do. No amount of bile will destroy certain germs which cause blood and skin eruptions. They are away down deep in the tissues, perhaps in the very marrow of the bones. And such a condition calls for the searching influence of S. S. S. It is indeed a remarkable remedy, since it is taken up by the blood stream and never loses its medicinal influence. On and on it goes, through and through the entire system and always with the same definite action to dislodge germs, destroy their activity and stimulate the liver, lungs, kidneys, bowels and skin to throw them out completely. It stimulates stagnant blood, provides a rational exhilaration to the nerve centers and thereby the natural functions of the body are aroused to cast out intruders, no matter how strongly Intrenched they may be. It refutes the ancient theory that to destroy within us the germs that eat into our vitals calls for drugs that destroy our very existence. Get a bottle of S. 8.
