Think About This

Let us see there are no improper profits by those whose business is stimulated by the war. Theodore Roosevelt.

The Forum Meeting All the workers of the city are vitally interested in the new constitution. - The writing of the new basic law for Indiana is a momentous event and a highly significant fact. Next Sunday a representative of labor will address the Forum which has been organized . here for the discussion of questions that pertain to the constitution. Workers are urged to attend the meeting. The constitution is of vital interest to them. ' A large representation at the meeting will prove their interest in the movement.

For the Common Good The Commercial Club is primarily every man's club. It represents the city. It belongs to the citizens. For that reason every citizen

ought to belong to the Commercial Club, ought to fight side by side with jts officers, ought to share its victories, ought to feel personally responsible for its growth. Personal responsibility is something many of us sidestep. We go on theory, "let the other fellow do it." -We ought to say, "I want to do it," "I am an important factor in the success of the movement," "if I refuse to do my full duty the blame will rest on me and not on the officials of the club." If all of us had more of that spirit, the Commercial Club would be the biggest vitalizing and energizing influence in the community. Then the Club would wax strong in membership, grow powerful in the accomplishment of big things, and be able to undertake tasks that are impossible today because of our apathy and sloth.

An army is a powerful engine because every unit in it is possessed of the same idea and is directed to the execution of one task. .Through the co-ordination of its functions and the co-operation of its officers and men, an army is a mobile, aggressive, adaptable, ready to meet an emergency, full of energy whether on the offensive or defensive. A Commercial Club represents the mobilized interests of a city. It is an organized civic army equipped to battle for the progress of the city or to fight in its defense when untoward circumstances or emergencies arise. This is the kind of Commercial Club the new president of the organization promises. Every citizen must enlist in this army-

Editor of Palladium: I wish to say a few words about the new Main Street bridge. I know not anything about bridge . building, of course, but in thinking on the subject and wishing it to be a level bridge, as many other persons do, I thought why can it not start from somewhere near the east end of the slanting bridge and go diagonally across to National Road West, having a nice curve at

each. end of the bridge, and leaving!

the old slanting Main Street bridge

for the accommodation of foot passen

gers and for appearance, while the cars, autos and all vehicles cross from Main street to National Road West on a nice, wide, level bridge, the originality of it compensating for It being a diagonal bridge.

Several days previously the minister had told his wife that he proposed to commit suicide. Mrs. Mann had been receiving notes from him. These she showed to her husband. At first she told him they came from the preacher and later denied this story, saying they were from a man at Crete. No name was signed to the epistles. After an investigation at Crete failed to disclose the writer, Mr. Mann asked Mrs. Motley if they were in her husband's handwriting. She identified them at once. They are described as being notes such as a school boy would write. Wednesday afternoon Motley drove to a point a half mile east of the Mann home where he waited for half an hour. A farmer living In that vicinity eaw the minister and wondered what he was doing. Later It is said that Mrs. Mann joined him and they drove away. Left Without Funds. So far as is' known Motley took no money with him or no clothing except what he wore. He is reported, however, to be heavily indebted to certain Spartansburg business houses. Motley leaves a family, all members of which are highly respected In the communities in which they live. Mrs. Motley Is reported to have told friends since her husband's disappearance that he had not appeared entirely normal at any time during the last month.

HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS PARTICIPATE. IN A WONDERFUL SPECTACLE

More than 4,000 people witnessed the third annual Gymnastic festival at Reid Field yesterday afternoon. 4 A grand review, in which, 3,000 children participated, opened the program. Children carrying flags led the procession, followed by the others in various uniforms and costumes. The general color scheme was red, white, and blue. Girls wore white dresses, with red hair ribbons, while the boys wore blue suits and blue ties. Garfield girls were given a big applause for their excellent work in "free exercise and dance steps." The girls wore black bloomers, white middies and black ties. Their gracefulness and ability to dance and keep step as one big body was quite effective. Folk Dances Feature. Four hundred third grade children gave folk dances. Eight circles took part in this. These were the youngest children in the exhibition and naturally attracted no little attention. Mrs. Robert Nohr's special classes in dancing gave two dances. One class was dressed in pink ' dancing frocks, trimmed with garlands of flowers. Their movements were graceful, and the scene was beautiful. The other dance was "The Swallows," by girls, dressed in grey dresses with large wing effects attached. Their entrance and exit from the field was spectacular, and resembled the flight of swallows. High school girls gave an Indian club dance in waits time. This was given in perfect unison and showed the superior work of high school irls in comparison with the high school boys. A special class from the Y. M. C. A., under the direction of L. A. Schwan, gave a drill. Spectacular Flap Drill. The program ended with a flag drill, given by children of the fourth grade. This was one of the most difficult and the most beautiful. One thousand two hundred flags featured in this and made a pleasing sight which stirred the audience to enthusiastic applause. The festival was under the direction of Robert Nohr, jr., physical director of the schools, assisted by Miss Margarett Wickemeyer and Mr. Lyman Lyboult. Much credit is due the grade teachers for the success of the festival. For the past three or four weeks they have been spending much time in drilling and rehearsing the little folks. Yesterday they were on the field, assisting in directing the children. Richmond Concert band, under the

direction of Mr. Lee Nusbaum rurnished the music. It closed the performance with the national hymn.

Two hundred and fifty students have withdrawn from Indiana university to become "soldiers of the soil."

Hundreds of Nerv-Worth endorsements now on file tell how this su-

! preme family remedy has brought its

users health after all other remedies and many doctors' prescriptions had failed. A striking one to this effect was given some time ago by Frank McClure, of Zanesville, O., who told how his wife, so ill that her weight had dropped to 85 pounds, had turned to Nerv-Worth, after trying four different doctors. This is in part his report: "The first dozen doses brought a marked change for the better. Her digestion improved, her strength grew.

When she had taken the first bottle!

she began to gain steadily In weight and the constipation also began to disappear. And now, having taken three bottles of Nerv-worth. she weighs 117 pounds. Her constipation has totally passed away. SHE CAN EAT ANYTHING SHE WANTS, although before taking Nerv-Worth she had been forced to live on shredded wheat biscuit and buttermilk. Friends do not know her on the street, so greatly has this tonic built her up In flesh, health and strength. "FRANK M'CLTJRE."

Help both your country and your own purse EAT MORE CORN

The U. S. Government is urging the American people to economize by eating more corn. The shortage in the wheat crop has come just at a time when America needs wheat badly, both for herself and her allies. Corn is the food for patriots this year. It is also the food for the economical, for the thrifty. It cuts the cost of living. It is real food, and more food for the money. Even if wheat were not $3 a bushel, you ought to eat more corn.

HELPING SAVE IN FINES AND MANY LIVES How Legalite Has Made Night Driving Sale and Enjoyable Instead of Nerve-Racking and Dangerous. Test this Wonderful Lens at Our Expense. Until Legalite was perfected the proper head-lighting of a car had been an unsolved problem. The misguided lights of the glaring head lamps have been responsible for a high loss of life and damage. If the 30,000 users of Legalites in New England had each been fined say $10 for breaking the lighting laws, that item alone 'would figure up to the tidy sum of $300,000.00. Legalite not only conforms with the most stringent laws regarding the use of glaring headlights, but it is a light that will aid, direct and protect you, and direct and protect the other fellow, under all road conditions, furnishing all the light where light is needed. 1. Absolutely without glare or dazzle. 2. Yet positively increasing the light on the roadway. 3. No glare, more light, yet complies with all city and state "no-glare" laws. 4. Spreads the light fan-like, 42 inches above the ground, and throws it OUT and DOWN 400 or 50O feet ahead. 5. Up hill or down, Legalite's rays are concentrated where you must have them for safe driving. It will cost you nothing to satisfy yourself, absolutely, of the merits of this wonderful headlight lens. Tryout Legalite at our expense. Give it a thorough test. If, after a week's trial, you feel that it does not do all we claim, return it and we will consider the account closed. Legalite is easy to put on. You or your garageman can do it. Comes in all sizes for every style of lamp. PRICES 7 to S, $2.75; 8 to 9, $3.50 94 to 1114, $4.50 The Safety First League of America indorses Legalite. The Massachusetts Auto Club selected it as the best of 26 headlight lenses submitted.
