Fame may be a great asset, but it doesn't count for touch as collateral. Business Chat.

The Appeal of the Wholesale Grqcers The three wholesale grocery concerns of this city issued an appeal to every consumer of Richmond, Monday. They emphasized two points: Buy only what you need. Pay your bills promptly. "By purchasing only what you need, you make it possible for your neighbor to obtain what Tie needs." "By paying promptly for what you buy, you are practicing real economy. Long credits cost money and the merchant must be reimbursed for making them." The retail grocer and the wholesaler are cooperating in a movement to popularize these principles. They will succeed in a superlative degree if the consumers co-operate with them. Persons who have abandoned the credit system for the cash plan will never go back to the former. They know, that ready money will obtain service and quality superior to that of credit.

Our whole economic system and our methods of trading will undergo a radical change as the war drags on. England, France and Germany have experienced this development. We may contribute our . share to the public welfare by helping the credit of the grocers and the wholesalers.

What Makes a Town Good? . J. Horace McFarland, president of The American Civic Association, answers the question in this week's issue of The Independent. The whole article is worthy of your study andreproduced for that purpose: The answer to the editor's question may be made in several ways. A community may be "good-looking" and yet not be good, but as I see It, a really good community is sure to be good-looking. Some commentators would consider a town good if it made a strong response to the Billy Sunday impulse, even If it was as ugly as the usual revivalist's "tabernacle." (I wonder how these gentlemen venture to take that word from the Bible to describe the hideous structures they seem to like, without paying any attention to the design obvious in the book of Exodus to make -the tabernacle of God a thing of notable physical beauty and attractiveness?) Let us visit a town which the American Civic Association would call good. t It will need to be a composite of many communities,' to be sure; but 'alf we are to see may be found in some one of the many American cities, towns or villages which are more or less "good" We arrive in the good town, on our first visit, by railroad. The entrance of the railroad is through a pleasant street, apparently, for we see no unorderly back-yards, no piles of manufacturing waste, no sign-plastered buildings in various stages of decrepitude. (The quantity of signs on a building is usually in proportion to its value; the more ramshackle and tumble-down the stable or shop, the worse its eruption of civic smallpox of signs! Is it not curious that apparently sane business men will pay real money to thus advertise their wares on the most decrepit and loud-smelling shacks?) The agreeable entrance into the good town has taken the train past busy manufacturing plants, but they are orderly, and good to look at, avoiding the waste and inefficiency of messy surroundings. The railroad itself is clean and "slick" along its right-of-way, which is not decorated with discarded material, waste paper or junk. It

ECONOMY, IND. Those who attend the Lamb family reunion Sunday from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lamb and family and Mrs. Lea Lamb, Muncie, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lamb and Mrs. Emma Parsons, Richmond, Mr. and Mrs. Moody Lamb, and children, Webster. There were 75 present and it was voted to hold the next reunion at Peirce's Lake the first Sunday in August. 1918. Program committee: Mrs. Charley Lamb, Mrs. E. A. Lamb and Miss Ida Lamb; president. John Manning; vice-president, Charley Lamb; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. E. A. Lamb. . . . A trio of old fishermen, Harry Harris, Everet Clark and Joe Morrison left Saturday evening for somewhere in Indiana, where the lake Is cool and bass readily takes the bate to camp for a week. . . .Some twenty-five families from here went to FOR HOW LONG ? Richmond Raises a Pertinent Question When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious illness, the first question that naturally arises Is,. "How long .will he .keep well?" Temporary relief is one thing, but a lasting cure io altogether different. There Is nothing temporary about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills as the following evidence proves beyond a . doubt. "Miss Sarah Hamilton. 310 N. 9th St., Richmond, says: "For several years I had been subject to sciatic rheumatism, beginning In my back and extending to my shoulders. I was also subject to headaches. I could find nothing that would help me until I got Doan's Kidney Pills at Luken & Co.'s Drug Store. They made me feel like a different woman." (Statement given on Dec. 12. 1908.) . - ' On Sept 14, 1915, Miss Hamilton said: "The cure that Doan's Kidney Pills gave me has been permanent. I am always glad to say a good word for them." - -- Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney - Pllle the same that. Miss Hamilton. has twice publicly recom mended.- roster-wuDurn lo, i-rops., ! Buffalo, N. Y. Adr.

playgrounds, parks

space has been provided for every hundred of the population, and the playgrounds are carefully equipt and as carefully maintained. Consequently the open air habit prevails, and home gardens are plentiful and beautiful. The modern schools all having ample and well-fitted play spaces about them are year-round social centers as well; for these wise people believe in keeping their property in use. The saloon has gone out, and its place is much more than taken by these centers,' where there is organized provision for recreation, Of course Compositeville drinks pure water, for the town controls the supply, which is filtered so as to free it from impurities and disease germs, and its safety is assured by daily bacteriological examinations. Pure milk is assured, too, and the public markets are K-cpt clean. There is a fine spirit of co-operation in Compositeville. The churches preach a seven-day and not a mere Sunday Christianity, and their pulpits talk town economics, just as Moses first discussed them on the plain before Sinai. The town is liberal and friendly, for it is a happy place in which to live and work. It is cleanly, and of course it is sightly. It is not afraid to pay, through just taxation, for Its efficient service; which, its residents realize, is the cheapest thing they buy between the cradle and the grave. Compositeville is, as I thus bring together it3 elements, all economic, all business-like, a good town. A model street arrangement of sidewalk', grass plot, light fixture, tree and house foundation planting.

transports us to a spacious station, through which we pass In appreciation of the greenery of the surroundings that speak loudly of good management and courtesy. But it may have been easier to arrive In Compositevllle by way of the trolley car, which passes us along through cleanly suburbs to the central district. The trolley poles were almost invisible because they had been designedly fitted into the tree-scheme of the Btreets. The arrival was at a well-located trolley terminal, where we found shelter and information, provided as a businesslike part of the transportation service. The central "square" or plaza in this good town is not a repository for municipal Junk in the way of old cannon, curious iron fences and "foundations," or other memorials of bad taste. There is a monument, to be sure, commemorating a notable bit of local history, but It Is of dignified design, suitable to the place it occupies, well supported by the right trees and shrubs, and not encumbered with encroaching poles, either for flag3 or wires. These townsmen think that their town expression ought to be simple and appropriate. By the radiating streets in the good town we are at once advised that the city-planning has been wisely done, for the people rather than for the "real-estaters." It Is just such planning as, if applied by a capable architect to the problem of a home, would produce satisfactory, healthful and convenient living conditions. The detail of these streets interests us. It is evident that in this "good" town there is more thought for the comfort and happiness of the people than for the prosperity of the paving companies, the makers of cast-iron, the sellers of electric current. The streets are reasonably wide, and they have been made less costly to the people as a whole by two items of thoughtful provision. A building or "set-back" line in the residence streets provides equality o light and open space inside the property line, thus effectively widening the channels through which must pass not only traffic but the air and light which are requisites for health.

The other item of forethought is evidenced in the harmonious relation of the sidewalks, the grass plots in which are planted comfort-giving trees, and the smoothly paved roadway for vehicular traffic. Compositeville has not made the common error of paving by random, without reference to the eight-foot lines of traffic which the wise city-planner considers.' In the business districts, too, there is consideraation for the pedestrians, and the sidewalks, free from Intrusion by steps or other projections, are ample. These streets are well furnished, we observe.' Where there are trolley lines, the poles are, as in the entrance streets, practically concealed by the trees. There are no other poles, for electricity, in common with gas, water and complete sewerage, Is carried under the streets surface. The lighting standards, simple and graceful, but un

obtrusive, are designed to give even illumination at low

cost, and, of course, there are no swinging electric arclamps. These people want illumination,, and not a mere display of raw light! All the other street furnishings of curbing, -sewer, inlets, fire-alarm boxes, trash receptacles, etc., are in keeping. The residents of Compositeville have easy access to

and social centers. An acre of openj ing Wednesday for Franklin as guest for a week-end house party to be held at the pretty home of Miss Edelle Tiison. Mr. Ralph Waldo, Muncie, who is well known here will be one of the honored guests Mrs. Martha Good, Mr. and Mrs. Riley Salisbury ate dinner Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Doak Swain Mr. and Mrs. Al Barbar and son, Vernon of Portland, Mrs. Carrie Wickersham and Miss Ethel Mull of West River were Monday afternoon visitors at Edwards Bros, home Blackberry crop will be cut short if rain does not come soon.
