Cleanup and Paintup Campaign.

Preliminary to a campaign of "cleaning up

and painting up" at Indianapolis next spring, Al

len W. Clark, a leader in the national cleanup and naintun movement, addressed citizens of . that

vcity early last week. - . -

American cities as a whole pay little attention

to the appearance of the houses that line their streets. Old buildings that would look like new

if they were given a coat of paint stand neglected for years, an eyesore to the community and a disgrace to the citizens. . How different the appearance of European cities. Go to Germany for an example of civic beauty. Here the business houses of the downtown districts are fresh and clean. They are painted frequently. They are not covered with layers of soot and dirt. The streets are lined with clean houses and the towns as a consequence look inviting. The . American is struck at once by the contrast between the appearance of his home city and the European city in which he is visiting. There are many business blocks in Richmond

that have not had a coat of paint for years. Their

dirty unkempt appearance is poor advertisement for the city. Near some of the best structures on Main street are rows of blocks that kill the effect of the magnif icentjedif ices which r public spirited citizens have erected. An application of paint to fifty Main street stores above the first floor would make the city look like a new town. The first floor fronts are kept in excellent condi-

Y:- Preparedness. ;i ". 7 - Preparedness has become an issue in national life. Around it will be fought forensic battles in the present session of congress, and the problem is sure to be injected into, the political campaign for control of the najbional government at the next election. Military and naval preparedness strikes home at the . very., roots of pur national life. , No arte.- will deny Jthat we need a bigger army and a better navy.

But what will the highest kind of prepared

ness avail if the people of the United States do not possess preparedness in a high patriotic and moral sense? Military preparedness in a national sense is a mockery if ; the people do not have patriotic preparedness and moral preparedness to make effective the solution of -social, industrial and civic problems, as well as. military and naval exigencies..

Big. guns and many guns, big battleships and many battleships, big coast defenses and many coast defenses are effective only if back of them stand a people big: in patriotic impulses and big in moral conceptions, big in a desire to perpetuate the priceless principles of government for

which-their forebears fought and died. No one denies the effectiveness of big guns and the necessity of military training. Many a small nation, however, lacking high trained soldiers but possessing a high sense of loyalty and patriotism has put to rout veteran armies. Along with the military preparedness program must come a development of American patriotism to carry out the plans for national defense. A true patriot' behind a gun is an infinitely better soldier than a man who knows the rules of warfare but lacks love for country and a high resolution to be a noble man at home as well as on the firing line. , We need better defenses, but we also need better citjzens-i-men who will see treason not only in aiding the enemy but also in civic unrighteousness and dishonesty. A poor citizen will be a poor soldier.

DRIED FRUIT. Proper preparation overcomes popular prejudice, says domestic scientists. ' "I loathe, abhor, detest, despise, h Abominate dried-apple pies." was written by some one who had not tasted the delicious dishes prepared from dried fruits by the modern housewife, if we can believe Miss Carrie Pancoast of the Missouri College of Agriculture. She has only good words for the practice of modern canning.

INDIA MAY BE INVADED

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 20. Col. Wiminow, a Russian military writer, in the Petrograd "Retch" expresses the fear that the Turks, with the aid of German officers and probably one or two German army corps may attempt an invasion of India, or at least threaten this most preclousjjossesslon of England".' "The expert Thinks that such a move is not impossible, as the Turks on 'witbeir ph;Hihrc4ah,.Uiouthern Persia jslfidbe, jonned by'tbooMftDS eitnatitesjiThe arrival of even a small Turkish force on the frontier of India would surely bring an uprising of the Mbhamedan population, the writer argues and he fears that this would mean the beginning of the end of British rule over the Indian empire.

Editor Palladium: ; ; X see in your issue of. Dec. 16 an answer to my letter of the 14th by Paul Sauer showing my mistakes, if I have made any I fail to see them.

My father and I came to this country the year after the war. - J was 16 years old. I worked tor Jacob Bhaefer who lived close to Locust Grove for $12 per j month. He taught me how to farm; and also how to save the money. My I father worked by the day and received 1

from 11.60 to S2 per day according to the work he did. .Wages did not increase tor the laborer, sor carpenter, blacksmith nor any other trade until the last 15 or 20 years, and 14 those days we worked from sun up until sun down. Of course they did not work so long in the shops. I have worked at different trades as well as farming. I am going on 67 years old and I can do as good work as I ever did and as much of it and if any one thinks I can't, I live at 7S3 South Eighth street, and he can come and I will give him a trial. It I wanted a job in a shop, I could not get it, I am too old so I am glad I saved a little for a rainy day so I don't have to pay rent, neither do I pay 25 cents per lb for side meat when I can buy good hams for 11 cents. He says he pays 30 to 35 cents for coffee. I pay 25c per lb. and I know it is as good and better than we used to pay 40 cents
