Waste in Muncie The news dispatch which follows is not re

Drinted to point the finger of scorn at Muncie or

to hold up that city as an example of prodigality

and waste, but to show how negligent all of us are

In conserving the food supply, Dr. Clarence G.

Rea, secretary of the Muncie board of health, says

the waste by the housewives of that city is sufficient to feed another city of Muncie's size.

Muncie's shame is Richmond's shame. An investigation of our garbage buckets and cans would reveal identically the same conditions. We

throw away as much as we use. Consequently

the food bill increases instead of diminishes.

-Farmers are unable to grow enough food for

. America if its inhabitants throw away half of it.

, Let the housewives of Richmond read the dis

patch from Muncie and remember that the in dictment holds true against us:

TTvf ti Aurll Ifl-lAfter investisratine the, food

situation in Muncie, Dr. Clarence G. Rea, secretary of the city board of health, gives it as his opinion that the food thrown away by housewives and placed In garbage cans to be destroyed id the city incinerator is sufficient In quantity to feed another community of Muncie's size. "I believe as much food is wasted as is eaten," he said. "The garbage buckets teU their own story. In them, often is placed much food that could have been worked Into some form for table use, and again there is spoiled and decaying food that need not have been permitted to get into that condition. "I Judge that conditions In this city are little different from those In others of the state, and probably most other states. It seems to me that a campaign to Induce housewives to save all food and render it useful is even more important than Governor Goodrich's campaign to Induce the raising of greater crops, excellent as that plan is." Distributing the President's Message , One of our citizens a few weeks ago in a communication to The Palladium suggested that aviators drop messages among the German soldiers containing a statement which sets forth that the United States does not want to make war on the German people, but against autocracy. News dispatches today stae that French 'aviators will drop copies of President Wilson's message concerning the break with Germany over the Kaiser's lines and far behind them. The address is printed in German, with the American flag in red, white and blue at the top. The distribution of this address behind the German lines will give the German soldiers the principles on which the United States bases its

entrance into war. American aviators with the

French corps last Monday scattered prooi sneeis

ofthe message over the uerman ixnes, uuv tc Annrmnn nnmfcpr to be distributed in accordance

with the new plan, assures the reading of it by

thousands of soldiers and civilians.

Always Compulsory "Alwflvs Comnulsorv." . So says the Indiana

Times in an editorial. Sure it is;. The volunteer

system is compulsory. If you do not join voluntarW. everv one of your' neighbors looks upon

you aa a slacker and. a shirker." We believe that

every man who refused to 30m the union ramts during the Civil War or who bought his release for f 400 has a feeling in his heart today that he was a shirker and has a yellow streak in his make-up. '..'' The Indiana Times remarks with emphasis: , Men talk of the volunteer system as if that plan did not involve compulsion. The contrary is true. Moral compulsion, the bitter scorn of loyal neighbors, the solicitations and Jeers of enthusiastic recruiting agencies of all sorts, act with tremendous force to compel redblooded Americans to . enlist. Many of these good and capable men ought by all means to be employed at home tasks." . . This has always been the case. There is nothing voluntary about volunteering after the first few days of recruiting. The issue is put squarely and harshly to every man of military age. In one way or another the citizen faces the test, with its compulsory side dominant. The self-respecting man is shamed into enlisting. The volunteer system points the finger of scorn at every man of military age who does not don a uniform and grasp a weapon. He must become a soldier whether he. should or not. ' ' , . - "' . The selective enlistment plan would designate each n.ir..' tny hio Bmncr task. He might o to the front.

He might work among the crops. He might labor in snop

or mill or factory. He would not ne auoweu iu iuai iu arms and then have to be withdrawn because of a famine of skilled labor behind the lines. He would be put at once where he could be most useful to his country, and where has work was most needed by his country. There v nn c.,n frvr- him nn humiliation, no debate as

to his duty. He would wear bis country's colors and ne would serve his level best, all to the glory and all to the utmost good of the republic, whether in the furrow or in

,AAJ t,AWUVJ-M We have cot to choose between the evils of conscrip-

tion and the worse evils or tne volunteer sysieai. selective enlistment, call it conscription if you will, is by far the lesser of the two evils. Effectiveness, efficiency, fairness and horse sense applied to the situation make up the utmost of patriotism. Let's start right and keep

right, profiting by the mistakes and experiences of otners. We have plenty of light. Let us not refuse to see the situation as it is. Give Us Conscription Representative Comstock must not hesitate in voting for the universal military bill. The Sixth district is made up of red-blooded Americans who believe that conscription is absolutely fair to every one and that no man ought to have an opportunity to shirk his duty by refusing to enlist voluntarily. We can see no reason why Representative Comstock need hesitate long. The questionaire he is said to be conducting in the Sixth district may be a feeler to find out how his constituency stands, but , it strikes us that the Old Burnt District will not hesitate long in telling him how it feels about conscription. Representative Comstock' has an opportunity to prove at the' very outset of his congressional career that he believes in voting for the best interests of his country. In an hour when danger threatens, the Sixth district expects its representative to act courageously and fearlessly.

Nine years of continuous, consistent development, improvement, refinement! Each year a better car and a better value! Over three hundred thousand now in use! That is the history of the car that built Overland because it represented integrity of value. And as steadfastly as this car has represented original integrity of value, so also has The WillysOverland Company sustained that integrity of value throughout its service in the hands of those who purchased it. The Overland Big Four of this ; season and its twin except for the motor the Overland Light Six, are the direct outcome of all this development.

More "than "three' hundred thousand owners and more than four thousand dealer and fac-( tory-branch organizations have assisted this development by their experience with these cars and their helpful suggestions of. improvements. s In their new beauty,' in their pery fected easy riding qualities, in their proven sturdiness. and mechanical excellence, in their admitted tire, fuel and oil economy, these cars are worthy of the confidence we have, that they will further enhance Over

land prestige.

The prices are $850 for the Big Four, $985 for the Light Six, while we have them to deliver until May 1st thereafter $895 and $1025.
