." "We believe that as soon as the draft is completed and the people know more definitely the
men who are to be drawn, the country will settle
down to producing and trading, and that a heavy
increase of business will result." H. W. Dun phee, Adv. Mgr., President Suspender Co., Shir ley, Mass. '
Be Neighborly "Be Neighborly."
; This was the message which Frank Albus, newly appointed secretary of the Commercial Club, told members of the organization a' few
nights ago. ' John M. Lontz, president, anticipated the gos
pel of Albus by appointing a committee to visit
and make friends with the strangers who settle
within our confines.
Neighborliness is a trait that most of us have
forgotten in the rapid, development of our civic life. The telephone and the automobile, the
street car and steam train, bring our old friends
to us so quickly that we forget that a new family
has moved into the house next door.
Perhaps six months go by before we meet our
new neighbors and find out that an excellent ad dition has been made to our city.
In the meantime the new arrivals wonder why
the people of Richmond are so cold and distant,
or begin to believe that the indifference is caused!
by an erroneous assumption of social, moral or
intellectual superiority.
The same feelings are aroused in the heart of a business or professional man who comes to a
city and finds himself a "stranger in a strange
land" instead of an "old timer" in an old commu
nity. The quickest way to expand the prestige and good name of a city is to melt indifference and apathy toward newcomers and to greet them with outstretched hands of welcome and hearty words of welcome.
residence in a small place. Centerville is enjoying its annual course. We hope our neighbor to the west will derive much pleasure and enjoyment from the program.
Murphy Is Peeved We do not blame Murphy for being peeved at the omission of Richmond in the list of Hoosier cities that have oodles of home gardens. If you do not believe that the Quaker City has become a Garden City, take a walk through the residence sections and convince yourself that you are mistaken. Thousands of gardens were planted this spring and thousands of families today enjoyed fresh vegetables taken from home lots. Murphy is right in registering a kick. Richmond should not have been overlooked.
The Centerville Chautauqua The chautauqua movement is a powerful influence for good in the small community. Many residents .of little towns have no opportunity to enjoy wholesome and delectable recreation and amusement. A chautauqua course, with its program appealing to father and mother, son and daughter, opens up new avenues of thought to the whole family and drives away the. ennui of
Rural School Education " ' Tremendous strides have been made by the
rural schools of the United States in the last decade, but the system is still far from ideal. The organization of the city schools is far in advance
of the rural system, the reason, of course, being
obvious. Transportation accommodations and centralization of population give the city school an advantage in its development with which the
rural school cannot compete.
The federal government today is trying, to remedy some of the most palpable weaknesses of the country schools. It is pleading with rural districts and small towns to employ teachers at
such high salaries that they are willing to stay
It is asking school superintendents to try to get
away from engaging young girls who will teach only a year or two and then forsake the calling for matrimony. ' ". Adelaide Steele Baylor, of Indianapolis, state supervisor of household arts, speaking before the National Educational Association, rightly says .that the rural school system is the strength of the nation. t "Rural education means the rural school. The influ
ence of a type of school that educates more than fifty per
cent of the youth of this nation can not De ngnuy estimated. In point of numbers trained under its direction, the rural 6Chool is the greatest educational force in this country. , "Richtly organized and conducted, Hs possibilities are
tremendous. The rural school furnishes opportunity to
the truly great teacher to work out her ideas untrammeled by the formalities and "red tape" of the city organization. The rural school is called Upon to compete, with fewer outside attractions and interests. "In It a peculiar freshness and enthusiasm are possible, because of the newness of many things that in the city school have spent themselves. It offers opportunity for Individual and independent growth that will produce the leadership needed in a great nation like America. "It Is the one institution in rural life that furnishes a common Interest for all the people. It becomes the social center for the adult life as well as the youth, and its influence extends to the home and community life with a peculiar and unmistakable significance. The rural school educates the children of the. food producing centers of the nation; its curriculum now includes the study of agriculture and its environment allows the practical applications of the principles of this subject. , "The permanency of the American nation will depend in no small degree upon the efficient production of food stuffs and the people, trained in scientific farming, will
be indispensable factors in the nations strength. "The opportunity, then, of rural education to become
a wholesome element in the strength of a nation like the United States is unparalleled, but this can only be realized under certain conditions, a truth to which, we, as a people, are just awakening.
"The rural school needs better buildings, better
trained teachers with larger experience, better libraries and equipment, better courses of study, and more super
vision. The great handicap to the accomplishment of
these things is lack of money. "This country is rich and if localities are too poor to provide the best rural schools, then the state and nation must come to the rescue, for the rural school as an ele
ment in the strength of the nation demands these lm provements and demands them quickly.
"If America, expects to continue her leadership among the nations of the world, her rural schools, is one great factor in bringing this about, must be recog
nized."
HOPES TO HAVE 50 ' APPLICANTS HERE

Vaccinate Against Typhoid The warning of Dr. Smelser, city health offi
cer. to vaccinate aeainst typhoid is timely. The
water supply of vacation resorts sometimes is
far from being unpolluted. Many a case of ty
phoid has been contracted by persons away from
home on a vacation.
The water supply of Richmond is so good and pure that few pay much attention to what we are drinking when we are away from home. The
precaution of submitting to vaccination is an ap plication of the slogan, "Safety First."

It's false economy to begin saving at the cost of health. When, it comes to a vacation, the
best is none too good
ond the best doesn't mean the most expensive,
Colorado, for example.
Go where you can get the most diversion and nerve rest.
ask any physician if that advice isn't sound, and Colorado admittedly offers far more diversion than any other vacation land in America. plus the most wonderful scenery and the widest variety of sports in the world, plus the far-famed, invigorating, nerve-resting Colorado air. Try Colorado this summer and go via the Rock Island's famous "Rocky Mountain Limited" daily to Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, a superb train de luxe with no extra fare. over the Rock Island Lines the 6afe, quick way of complete comfort and satisfying service. the way that experienced travelers always take.

Careless Use of Soap Spoils the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best Most soaps ad prepared shampoos conlaln too much alkali. This dries the. scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless) and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will clean the scalp and hair thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oh. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. adv.
