VJAYflE COUNTY GOES TO FRONT IN HORSE LINE

. Wavnecounty is fast coming to the fore as a breeding center for Perch- . eron horses as was evidenced at toe sale of registered "stock held at Taube'a barn yesterday by O. A. Scantland, when auctioneer Fred Rlppert sold 18 bead at prices averag ing $400.00. Over 400 persons from five states attended the sale. When Auctioneer Ribbert took the stand he spoke at length on the great benefit the farmer would derive by raising Percherons. He commented on the fact that a Percheron breeding farm was being started here by Ru .3lph Leeds who was putting in some of the finest strains . and would soon have a stud that would equal any in the world. He predicted that In five yearg Wayne county would be the Percheron breeding center of the country. Following are the horses sold to gether with the names of the purchasers and the price they paid: Alice, W. L. Wood, Liberty, $350. Alpha, Omer Brown, Lynn, $300. , Alpha II, ' H. p.

Mr. Ratcliff located in Spiceland In 1878 where he has lived ever since and was head of the Quaker Meeting for years and also a 'trustee in the Spiceland academy. He was one of the older Quakers and one of the most prominent members of the church. Mr. Ratcliff is survived by four sons and one daughter, Lorin, Grennell, Iowa; Henry H., Connersvllle; Edwin B., Spiceland; William, Spiceland, Miss Anna Ratcliff. Edward Ratcliff of 255 South Eleventh street, is a brother and Dr. O. D. Bailey was a brother-in-law. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 'o'clock ' Wednesday from his home in Spiceland, Rev. T.

The morning subject was . "Prayer and the Holy Spirit." That of the evening was "In the Power of the Spirit." The Rev. M. S. Taylor was present in the evening and took part in the services. MIX WITH QUAKERS Earlham r.nd the high school basketball tetms played at the high school gym last night just for practice and the school boys played rings around the Quakers. No attempt was made to keep score and no foul goals were thrown, but those who witnessed the combat-, are of the opinion that If the college men were to meet the school In a regular game they would be swamped. Earlham admitted that the high school team was fast after the practice but said that they held the ball too long. The high school had the ball nearly all the time. CLASS TEAMS PLAY. At the high school this afternoon Nos. & and 10 will try conclusions in the Interclass games, while Nos. 1 and 2 will mix things up. STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation, the result of excess acid, is taking place in the food contents of the stomach causing the formation of gas. Wind distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and Inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excessive secretion of acid and -the fermentation of food. Such fermentation Is unnatural and may Involve harmful consequences if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation of food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and render It bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of Bisurated Magnesia, perhaps the best and most effective corrector of acid stomach known, should be taken In a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the fermentation, and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as Bisurated Magnesia, which can be obtained from Thlstlethwaite or any druggist, and thus enable the stomach to do Us work properly without being hindered fey gas and excessive acid. Adv.

Mrs

Linton

, Continued . From the books, knew absolutely nothing about the records, reports or anything else. - How can three women who were so well Informed, know anything about my work? . Consented to Remain. : Another thing Mrs. Roach asked me to' stay until the first of May up to that time, I had really not thought of the matter, but after considering it, told her I would stay and never said I expected to leave at any other time. I made the statement to Mrs. Lamson that if I would have quit the first of the year, I would send in my resignation to take place the 20th of December, so I could spend the holidays at home, but after telling Mrs. Roach that I would stay until the first of May, I dismissed the subject from, my mind. T""'--Never once did any member of the committee ask me what my plans were or anything else, and k it surely was not my place to Inform them of the arrangements Mrs. Roach, the pr-si-dent of the association, had made. The very fact that they said ,my work was not satisfactory and my rec ords were not up to date,- shows their ability to meet a situation as it was. Extra Work Offered. The Day Nursery was started in April, which added, extra office work and day work. Any time after 6 a. m. that a child was to be admitted I was the one who had to do that, also had to arrange the visiting nurse work so I could relieve . Mrs. Pille on her afternoon off. Any time from 6 a. m. until 8 p. m., excepting the time that I was in the field, I was on duty and had the pleasure of meeting visitors, answering the phone, door bell, back door, or wherever the knock or ring came from. The first of June we took over the nursing work of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, and I had to go to their office three nvrnings a week between 8 and 8:30. The visiting nurse does not have to be on duty until 8:30 a. m. Cared for Children. - While Mrs. Pille was on her vacation for two weeks in July, Miss Fuller and I cared for the children in the nursery. Miss Fuller was away three weeks during August, on' her vacation, and I. did all the visiting nurse, work, as well as relieving Mrs. Pille in the nursery. I was away three weeks in September on my vacation. Two days after I returned Miss Fuller was called away bv the serious illness of her sister. From that time on I did two nurses' work and made out all reports. I made 247 calls in October and gave regular nursing care to ever;- patient.. If the ladies' don't think I did my work let them write to any visiting nurses' association in the United States and find out how many calls .a nurse is expected to make in a field as large as Richmond. Work Occupied Time. T said I would be very glad to help get up an exhibit for the charities and corrections convention If I had time but certainly had anything else but time. Not only that but when you were working so hard, your mind Is on your work, and you- couldn't possibly get up an exhibit that would do credit to the work. As for my reports, there was a report In the office every day from January 20. 1914. until the day I left, of my work, and a daily report of each day that the other nurses were there. The final histories were checked up to November 1 as the field work was too heavy to allow me to stay in the office, simply to check up. The patients were always first. I, could check up after the patients were well and discharged, or after the work became lighter. As far as It was impossible to' make out a report was concerned, I could have made out a report of my entire two years' work insiGe hi a half day at the time I quit. Of course, you couldn't expect a person to make out Laugh At Dyspepsia By Simply Using a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet After Any Meal You Want to Eat.

Be you a professional, business or laboring person, your interest will be so "divided" that it is impossible for you , to hold the ; standard you had in the beginning, even though you don't see your life's partner some times for six weeks. " I believe that about 90 per cent of the members of the Domestic Science association are married. Really, It is too bad to think that so many standards have been lowered. - As to being discourteous, I am sure I always tried to be, at least, courteous to everybody excepting the Monday following the Saturday of my discharge when Mrs. Roach and - Mrs. Melhuish came down to the office in such a happy state of mind I was anything else but courteous, for : I am sure I could see no reason why I Bhould be even civil to two women, who had stabbed me in the back as they had done. i I believe in acting to a person's face just as you feel about them and be lady enough to be to their' back what you are to their face. Gets Consent to Leave. ; Mrs. Roach gave me permission to come to Cincinnati the first week In December and I did not leave Richmond "against her expressed desire." She wanted to know how soon I would be able to get back, I told her I could not say positively as it would all depend upon my being able to see Dr. Bachmeyer and Miss Logan, superintendents of the Cincinnati - general hospital, when I arrived here Saturday at noon, both were out of town and I was unable to see either until Monday which made it impossible for me to get back to Richmond until Tuesday at 9:15 a. m. As for the real reason for Miss Ludolph's resigning, taey are most absurd. We have been friends for the past six years, and she knew two months before she ever considered taking up the work in Richmond, that I expected to stay until May. My one regret is that I should get a friend of mine in such -a mess as Miss Ludolph got into when she came to Richmond. Also the fact shouldn't be lost sight of (although it wasn't mentioned in the report) that Miss Ludolph and I worked in the field every day up to December 22. Who ever made out the report forgot to remember who did the greater part of the work for December, 1915. Each Statement True. Each statement that I have made from the beginning of this trouble has been absolutely true, and having been a public worker, I feel the public has a right to know the true state of affairs. I thoroughly enjoyed my two years' work in Richmond, and appreciate the many kindnesses shown me during that time. I regret exceedingly that my work terminated in the way it did and hope that Richmond's next visiting nurse's work will end happier than mine did. With kindest regards to all my Richmond friends, I remain Most sincerely, FLORENCE BENNER LINTON. 151 East McMlcken avenue. AGED BISHOP DIES OMAHA, Neb.

STUDY GITY'S BUSINESS APPEAL DV KEDPOllL

BY B. A. KENNEPOHL . As the big deal of the light plant: proposition is about to come to a close, it might be of Interest to the taxpayers of Richmond to give them my experience In public life and as a city official. Experience 1 Some of My readers will remember when the Big Four was built through Lynn and Hollansburg they, offered to come to Richmond it she would vote a subsidy of $60,000. Our papers were against it, and as I was , very Intimate with one of the proprietors of a paper; In fact, put him on his feet, I said to him: "Here, I want you to tell me why you are fighting this railroad proposition; you know that Richmond needs another railroad, and what is $60,000 to the taxpayers?" He finally acknowledged that they would, have to; come down with the cash to get his support. . ; ; Experience 2 While I was in council .the contract for lighting- the city was about to expire. A gentleman by the name of Erban came to Richmond and gave the council a bid for $85 per lamp, much cheaper than the city was paying then. Mr. Erban took the council to Chicago to the exposition to show us the different electric plants in operation. While there, Mr. Adams and myself got into conversation with an electrical engineer. We were telling him what we were there for and the offer we had to furnish the city with light. He said. "$85 is a very reasonable price." I said, "I can't see it that way, for I have here correspondence from different cities, and I find where cities owning their light plants get their light from $35 to $65 per lamp." The gentlemen's reply was: "Yes, if I go to any city to get a contract, the first thing I do is to get the papers on my side, next to get enough councilmen to see my way and it takes a lot of money to do that. Then get a contract for ten years, at the expiration of which we have to go the same route, so you can see why a corporation has to have more money for the lighting of cities. Experience - 3 When the council was getting In earnest about building the present city light plant, a gentleman steoned into the mayor's office, then on South Seventh street, and lay ing down a large number or one tnoueand dollar bills, said: "This is for you if you see to it that the city light plant is not built, and buy the L.. H. & p. eonmanv s nlant. rne mayor looked at the money, counted It, looked at the man and said, "Do you mean to say that that light plant Is onlv worth $85,000" Answer "This has nothing to do with this." The mayor told him that "no inducement would prevent this administration from building the city light plant, and I'll see to it that It is built." I asked Mr. Henry Deuker

some time ago if he remembered this

incident, he said "I certainly do." Experience 4. When the council ad vertised for bids to build the Light plant a man named Meyers, from Chicago, was a bidder. He had his agent in Richmond lining up council and the city papers came out telling the public all about how this man was lining up the city council. This Meyers came to Richmond and sent his agent home or some place else. Mr. Meyers came to me, and told me he would make It interesting for me if I would come on his side. 'I'll pay you well' he said. That was in my place of business. I told him this was not the place to talk about such matters, and asked when I could meet him that evening after seven o'clock. He named the place and hour to meet. Then I hastened up to Harry Starr's office and laid the matter before him. to ascertain how to proceed, so I was ready to meet the gentleman. Mr. Meyers offered me $2,000 and 5 per cent on all extras, for he said in a big contract like this there are always a lot of extras, which will make you probably $3,000. When the bids were opened Mr. Varney's of Indianapolis bid was the lowest for building the light plant. While council was considering the different bids I suggested that the bids be taken into consideration to give council time to investigate the responsibility of the contractors for this is a big undertaking and we ought to be sure we are right before we act, I . was asked to make it a motion. It was carried and the day set for awarding the contract. When I got home that evening I wrote a letter to Hon. J. .W. Kern and Thomas Taggart with whom I had personal acquaintance. I asked for Information regarding the responsibility and ability of Mr. Varney, for building a light plant for the City of Richmond. The answers that came were very fa vorable for Mr. Varney. When council met to let the contract the question was asked, "Have any of you any information as to the contractor's ability? No answer. Finally I Bald If nobody else has, I have a letter from J. W. Kern and a telegram from Tom Taggart, which the clerk may read.' After the reading I said, "Mr. President, on the strength of these recommendations and the fact that Mr. Varney's bid is much the lowest, I don't see how any councilman could look into the faces of . citizens of Richmond if this contract was not awarded to Mr. Varney, therefore, I move that this contract be awarded to Mr. Varney. The movement was carried and finally made unanimous. Mr. Varney's bid was $144,000 with no extras. Citizens. I often wonder If the public will ever get their eyes open and take a little more time to study public affairs. With this I give you a part of my experience in public life, and I WM. J.
