Handley's Farewell

And now I'm going to leave you for a job In banker row. Where some people seem to figure that the milk and honey flow, But where people who are posted, say you work to beat the tax. . , And you never have a "look-in" at the famous promised land.

It is yet an onen Question as to where's

And vou can not find it starin' in tout But . it's all a dream of roses, and ol TT O 1 c ail iuc UU1C OkltVlU UU

And they tell me, those who've been there, that you look back with regret To the friends and fellow-workers whom you're always lovin' yet; It's the land of over yonder where the other fellows stay, An' we always want to- stop there, if it's only for a day. But no matter where I finish, folks, I don't mind tellin' you That I never will forget you till my span of life is thru.

GERMANS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER WAR'S PROGRESS

BY FRITZ WAGNER. BERLIN, June 16. Food is plentiful. There was never any danger that German would be Btarved into submission. It may be that the foodstuffs which are not produced in the country may become scarce. Coffee and rice, for instance, are already running out, notwithstanding the large stores taken from Antwerp. But Germany is prepared for this contingency. The effort to make, the country selfsupporting was never more intense or extensive than it is now. In the rural districts, now swept clear of men of military age, the women, young and old, have taken their places, and are helped by old men and boys. Similarly the supply of soldiers remains abundant. This year's class of recruits, which would, in the ordinary course, have been enrolled next November, has just been called out. The boys from the higher classes of WAR IS BIG Continued From Page One them together are too strong, the relationship too intimate. This is especially true of the United States.

Nearly every neutral nation finds new domestic problems thrust upon it and old problems made more difficult. "Business is deranged and expensive re-adjustments were made necessary while commerce with foreign nations is seriously interrupted. Fluctuations in prices abroad are reflected in the markets of the United States, a fall of one cent in the price of cotton means tens of millions of dolars to our producers and merchants. Frefght rates and insurance premiums have been increased to cover the greater risks incident to war. Scarcity of Ships. "Scarcity of ships is one of the greatest commercial embarrassments caused by the war. We have depended largely upon foreign ships to carry our commerce and we could not but suffer when the merchantment of one side were driven from the .sea. "The neutral nations are put to a great expense to preserve neutrality and are constantly in danger of being embroiled in the war without intention or fault on their part. "The rules of international law seem to have been made for the nations at war rather than for the nations at peace., If nations are determined to fight, they should, as far as possible, bear the burden themselves, and not be permitted to transfer it to the nations which avoid, by resorting to reason instead of force.--Encroach Upon Neutrals.

Each person was served witn a half spring chicken, which was one of four courses. Punch and cigars completed the banquet. Postmaster Beck acted as toastmaster, and each of the forty-nine employes present gave an impromptu speech. Chief among these were the postmaster, the superintendent of finance, Henry Deuker, the new superintendent of mails, Frank Wilson, and the retiring superintendent of mails, Mr. Handley. A . contrast was shown in the attendance at the banquet and the attendance at the first banquet attended by Mr. Handley and his successor, Mr. Wilson. Both started in the postal service at the same time. There were then fifteen employes, less than onethird of the present force. There were nine carriers, five clerks and the post master.

In a small resi dential town in the south, the peace garrison of 1,500 has been increased to 6,000, and I noticed a similar propor tion in other places. The Landstrum has not yet been called uponu for any military service proper. These things must be realized if the military position and the conn dence of the German people are to be understood. The military resources of Germany are still enormous. The confidence of the people is not. how ever, based upon any expectation of great and decisive victories, such as were hoped for at the beginning of the war. It is thought that Warsaw may possibly fall, but the eastern front Is not now attracting the same attention as formerly. governments are least able to deal with them with the calmness and poise which their great importance demands. "No wonder every neutral nation is increasingly anxious for the war to end; but of all the neutral nations, ours has the most reason to pray for the return of peace, most reason to set its face resolutely against partici pation in war. This nation, the head of the neutral group and the sincere friend of al the belligerents, is in duty bound to set an example in patience and self-restraint. "In all history, no such opportunity has ever come to any nation as that which is destined to come to the United States. In all history no other peace maker has ever been in a po sition to claim so rich a blessing as that which will be thrown out upon our president when the time for medi ation comes as come it must." RULING Continued From Page One. ue given by Engineer Garman of the commission's staff. William Hendricks and Paul Benfeldt, building contractors, estimated the cost of contracting the company's buildings at $20,523. Their figures include the cost of a brick stack, not in use. Deducting the cost of the stack reduces the reproduction cost of the station plant to approximately $16,600. Howard Gluys, engineer at the Richmond municipal plant, testified about the condition of the equipment of the private plant SELLS REAL ESTATE The sale of real estate owned by the Richmond Brick company to Richard Sedgwick for $12,697.23, more than two-thirds of its appraised valuation, was reported today by the receiver of the company, Albert W. Gregg. The company was thrown into receivership by a suit for $13,000 filed by the First National bank. It is understood the increase in value of the real estate in the past twelve years will prevent very big losses by members of the company. EXPLAIN ROAD WORK.

Graduates Heap Praise on lOpUlar instructors ana Give Profi Russell Rousing Ovation. Fitting honor was paid Dr. D. w. Dennis and Prof. William N. Trueblood by the alumni of Earlham college last evening at the quinquennial banquet, which was attended by over two hundred members of the Alumni association.

In his introductory remarks he mentioned the great service done the college alumni by Dr. Dennis and Prof. Trueblood, and his remarks were elaborated by each of the seven speakers who followed. Needs Alumni Backing. The great importance of an active alumni to the progress of a college was the theme of Prof. Sackett's remarks. He said that a college that dOes not have the support of its alumni shows its weakness as a moral force. The alumni, on the other hand, should be an incentive to the present students, he said. William Dudley Foulke responded to a toast on the subject, "And Kings." A novel method was used by the banquet committee in assigning subjects for the various speakers. Each speaker was given a few words from a poem.. Mr. Foulke paid a high tribute to the two men who were the honor guests of the evening. "Dr. Dennis holds a unique position in the scientific life of Indiana," said the speaker. "He is an authority on trees and birds, and because of his hundreds of lectures given in all parts of the state, this state owes him a great debt, which she can never pay." Laud Prof. Russell. A tribute was paid to the work of Prof. Elbert Russell as . head of the Biblical department, who has resigned to accept a position with Johns Hopkins university. After remarks by the toastmaster calls were heard for Prof, Russell, and he addressed the mem bers of the alumni, thanking them for the honor shown him. Mrs. Middleton Freeman of the A.

You can krep your skin free from hair or fuzz by the occasional use of plain delatone and in using it you need have no fear of marring or injuring the skin. A thick paste is made by mixing some of the powdered delatone with water. Then spread on the hairs and after 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and all traces of hair have vanished. Be careful, however, to get real delatone. Adv. ROGERS' MIXED PAINTS Go Further And Last Longer 40 Colors i: $1.75 A GALLON A. G. LUKEN & CO. Phone 1213 630 Main Street
