"It has been the dream of my life to see the two great English speaking nations more closely
united.' King George. Adequate Sewers .. Richmond today needs an adequate sewer system more than it needs improved streets. Each year the damage and inconvenience from our sewer system are growing greater. The increase in the number of improved streets has put an added burden on the sewers because there is no chance for an absorption of surface water and the sewers are compelled to carry off the entire downpour. The. city officials have given this problem considerable attention, but,the gravity of the situation, as it has been revealed this year, suggests an exhaustive survey. Blame cannot be placed on the city administration because the situation is the result of a gradual expansion of the residence district and of the building of improved streets, factors that have overtaxed the system. It might be well for the city, authorities to postpone all permanent street improvements until engineers have investigated the problem and given them data on which to base their future plans. Citizens will agree that it is not wise to order permanent improvement of streets and then be forced two or three years later to tear up the thoroughfares to put down a new sewer system. We believe the sewer system is the most vital problem before the city at this time. A revision
of the system may involve the expenditure of
thousands of dollars. The questions ought not to be ignored until the improvements will go into stupendous figures.
The Constitutional Convention Decision The ruling of the Supreme Court against the constitutional convention must be accepted as final by the people of the state. The court holds that legislation for a change in the basic law cannot initiate in the legislature, but must come directly from the people. It holds that the verdict of the people in 1914 against the calling of a convention indicates that the majority does not favor a new constitution. ,
Many persons who favored a constitutional
convention a year ago have changed their minds in the last few months, believing that the international situation is fraught with such portentious possibilities that it would be wise for the people of Indiana to await the outcome of the war before they essay to change the basic law of the state. Even if this view is not shared by all the avowed supporters of a constitutional convention, the decision -of the Supreme Court blocks all efforts now, and the wise thing to do is to wait until the people through petitions or other measures ask the legislature to act. Changing the organic law of a state is an important matter, even when conditions in the nation' and in the world are normal. In times of stress and disturbance, it is doubly dangerous and provocative of future embarrassment. Perhaps, the decision of the Supreme Court is a blessing in disguise.
G. A. R. Post Disbands A brief news dispatch from Eldorado last week said that the G. A. R. post of that place had disbanded because only three members were left and they were too old and infirm to attend meetings. The incident can be, duplicated all over the country. Time is rapidly thinning the ranks of the old soldiers. Thousands of them are joining the invisible army each year, and the disbanding of posts indicates the rapidity with which the Death Angel is summoning the old fighters to the great beyond. Communities do well in honoring the old vet: erans while they are with us. Ten years from now, few of them will survive of the vast host that fought for the Union. Honor them now.
COUNCIL SHOULD DECIDE UTILITY SERVICE NEEDED
WILLIAM A. BOND
City Attorney Contends Leg
islature Puts Gas Matters
in Cities' Hands.
. Municipal councils are the proper bodies to decide the quality of service or product of any public utility and
not the state public service commls
sion. City Attorney Bond will contend
In his brief to be submitted to the
state utilities commission in the Indl
ana Gas association case, pending be
fore the commission.
Attorney Bond, who represents for-tr-one cities who are opposing the
petition of the gas companies for a
reduction in the heat units from tuu to 550 to one cubic fool of artificial gas
and an added increase of twenty-five per cent, in rates, said Saturday the legislature of 1913 provided that the municlnal councils determine the
"quality of service by contract or ordinance." No Immediate Affect. Richmond will not be Immediately effected by the petition of the gas companies as natural gas is used. In the event artificial gas is used to supplement the supply of natural gas in
dividual consumers would pay a rate
almost double the present. The reduction in heat units would ruean an increase of 8 1-3 per cent increase in rates alone and together with the added surcharge the companies ask the Increase asked amounts to 33 1-3 per cent. "The gas companies should bear their part of the burdens imposed by var as well as individuals" Attorney Bond said. "Every individual Is making sacrifices. Why shouldn't the gas companies do the same?" Attorney Bond will represent" the cities before the commission July 23, when the petition of light companies for an increase of thirty per cent, in rates will be heard. Richmond is not affected by the petition.

The following has been submitted for publication: The way to stop the waste of wheat is to demand the whole wheat grain in all breadstuffs and breakfast-foods. In other words, the way to save the wheat is to eat whole wheat. The whole country is awake to the necessity for preventing the waste of
the staple foods. The Government has started upon a far-reaching educational campaign to increase wheat acreage and stimulate the production of necessary foods. This movement will have the support of all loyal Americans. In such a time as this, however, there are all sorts of ill-advised movements and all sorts of insane notions as to what Americans ought to do. We are an impulsive people. We chase pell-mell after some self-constituted leader without knowing what he stands for and without examining the facts. One writer declares that "a million women have signed a pledge to eat one wheatless meal a day." Of course "a million women" have done nothing of the kind. If they have it is very unwise and ill-advised. A more sensible thing for American to do just now is to demand the whole wheat in all their breadstuffs. It is estimated that two hundred and fifty million bushels of wheat are wasted every year by our failure to utilize the whole wheat grain in flour and breakfast foods. Now is the time to stop
uthls colossal waste of our great Amer
ican food staple. The whole wheat is the most perfect food civen to man. Corn and oats are
good, wholesome foods, but it is not
necessary for tne American nousenum
to abandon its "staff of life." There is
plenty of wheat for Americans ana Allies if the Americans will only -demand whole wheat. When Mr. Hoover is installed as Food Controller no doubt his first act will be to "standardize" wheat flour. This means that he will issue an order requiring the use of a larger percentage of the whole wheat grain in flour and all breadstuffs, the same as England and France have done. In the meantime the American housewife can help along the good work by demanding the whole wheat in all breadstuffs. There is no need of cutting out wheat from breakfast, dinner or snpper. It would be far more sensible to cut out meat and stick to whole wheat grain, vegetables and fruits. It would not only save money and save wheat, but would add to the health, strength Wd prosperity of the Nation. A Brattleboro (Vt.) storekeeper'has a potato exhibited in a jewel "case in his store window, with a card conveying the information: "This is a potota. Once used for food by, Americans. A rare Jewel.."
received at groceries Friday. The early-potatoes are exceptionally good. They are large and' farmers are well pleased with the crop. The later ones however, do not look as good. The home grown potatoes are not having much effect on the market price. Shipped ones are being sold for $2.40 per bushel while home grown ones sell for $2.20.

Too Much- Food in Summer means clogged liver and sluggish brain; too little food means flabby muscles and starved nerves. The man on-the job must keep his brain clear and his muscles responsive. The way to do this is to eat Shredded Wheat Biscuit, the food that contains everything in the whole wheat grain prepared in a digestible form, including the outer bran coat which is so useful in keeping the alimentary canal clean and- healthy. Two or three of these crisp, little brown loaves of whole wheat with milk make a nourishing, strengthening meal. Ready -cooked and ready-to-serve. Made at Niagara Falls. N. Y.
