Getting Buyer and Seller Together
Annually thousands of dollars worth of fruits
and vegetables go to waste in Wayne county be
cause farmers cannot find the time to market
these crops and because buyers in the cities do not know where the apples, pears and vegetables
are to be had.
Hundreds of orchards in this county are
heavy with fruit. Hundreds of bushels of apples,
fallen from trees are going to waste on the
ground or are being fed to hogs.
Hundreds of persons in Richmond would be glad to pay for the windfalls to use them for table
purposes or for canning.
Here is a problem of food conservation that
has baffled every agricultural community for decades. Plenty on hand going to waste, and thou
sands anxious to keep the supply from rotting.
Why not list the farmers who are anxious to
sell the produce and fruit they do not find time to gather and market? Why not have a directory containing names of the public spirited farmers of this county who are willing to sell cheap that which of necessity must go to waste? Why not publish a list to which a poor person may turn to find the name of the generous farmer who will say, "I can't find time to k these apples. You are poor, come help yourself. Food will be scarce this winter. I want to show my patriotism in a substantial manner by giving that which I cannot use." Such a list would be a boon to the community. Persons desiring to buy apples for canning or for the making of vinegar and cider would know where to turn. Farmers would be paid for fruit that now is allowed to rot on the premises, and that at a time when our government is loudly sounding the cry of "food conservation." If any farmer wants to list his name, the Palladium will be glad to open the bureau.
and between nations at times which make war inevitable.
War and time are co-evil in history.
The spirit of combat enters into the mind at a very young age. It will be seen in the best of school-boy friends. It is a violation of social etiquette in times of peace for a boy to tramp on the toe of his best friend. The boy resents the injury with spirit. His toe is again trod upon. This produces anger. The third time, war is on with no attempt at arbitration. Self protection, the first instinct of man, from insult or injury prompts the boy to take arms In self defense. The only honorable way to end the matter once begun is whip or be whipped.- ' : Oft-times the overt act is of a very undignified nature, while the end assumed colossal proportions. We are now, as never before in history, facing the awful effects
of petty Jealousy and greed. The awfulness is not even
apparent at this time. The whole world is being bled
drop by drop, as one young man after another is pro
nounced eligible to the trenches.
Do these young men think for a moment, they can be taken out of their community and not be missed. Not one that will not leave a vacancy, an individual vacancy. The heart of the whole world is throbbing with pity. A
God speed and a safe return.
Have these young men thought what an awful feeling of regret must have been in the heart of the President when it became a necessity to call the best blood, the hope and promise of his country to arms. A father send
ing his loved son into uncertainty. President Wilson feels a nearness to hi3 people seldom felt by presidents. His
heart is with these boys and with interest and anxiety
he will watch their career. The great heart of the na
tlon and the mothers will beat in unison with hope. The Spartan mother who buckled the armor on her son and bade him go forth to battle, was not one tithe or tittle
braver than the mother of today who gives her boy. Just entered into manhood, to a cause so ingominous in its origin and so deserving of overwhelming defeat. When the peoples of the nations of the earth have been brought into their right and voice to speak, and
Democratic government obtaines in the world, the boys who gave 'old Wayne her showing can well say, "We helped to make it so." May the minds of these noble young men be obsessed with the watch word "On to Victory." The old place will miss the boys, but they will be engaged in making the greatest pages ever entered into history. MARIE N. COPE.

TO THE BOYS OF THE NATIONAL
ARMY Somewhere in the Bible it is written, "Many Are Called Rut
en," and you are one of the few. We
iook upon you with pride and envy, the flowers of our Nation's manhood, the knights of our dreams; you, are the man of the hour going forth to battle to fight for the freedom of all Nations and to fight for our noble wom
en ana those of us who are too old or weak or for some other reason unfit to stand the strain of the fight But we want you to remember that you do not go alone for we are with you in spirit and will suffer and rejoice with you wherever duty may call you. We are rightly proud of the boys of the U. S. A., for we know our brothers are men with nerves of steel and are not afraid of the devil himself. With such confidence in the splendid manhood and unconquerable spirit of the few who are chosen to go to the front You can be assured that those that are left will with God's help bend every effort to do their bit and make your lot as easv as nnsKihl nnrt mi
prayers will be, 'God Speed The Return of Our Boys." CITIZEN.
To Our Boys For the Trenches Seventy-five men selected by the Richmond district board for military service left here today for Camp Taylor. The city paid them honor and respect with a farewell reception. Almost co-incident with the departure of the boys was the receipt of a letter which voices the spirit of a ! Spartan mother and a patriotic citizen. "The old place will miss the boys but they will be engaged in making the greatest pages ever entered into history," so the letter concludes. Its text follows: There are conditions, moral, social or political in,
Wayne county shares the sentiment of this woman.
Training the Appetite From the Anderson Bulletin. AMONG the things which may be trained into ways of usefulness as well as along paths of wastefulness is the appetite your appetite, included. At a grocery store last evening one woman was overheard telling another, "It's no use for me to cook rutabagas or carrots because I know from experience my children will not eat them. I think it is more economical to use scarcer and more expensive foods, because they will not be left on plates." That mother was in error. The cheaper foods will not be left on plates if the children's appetites have been trained' properly. For the first few days the youngsters may be a trifle "pickish" and turn up their tiny noses. But when they have become assured there'll be no filling up on pie and cake, they will make the most of the cheaper vegetables. Why, ninetenths of the German people have nothing but rutabagas, morning, noon and night, seven days in the week. Let those of us who "can't" eat the cheaper vegetables and coarser grain flours start training our finicky appetites right away quick! V That will be a long and important step in food conservation and of immeasurable assistance to our allies, in sore need of the food which will keep body and soul together. We will be the healthier for it, and that, Mrs. Mother, includes those children of your with their wasteful, expensive appetites.
Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON
j thrust a coin in her hand as he spoke, i and she scurried down the hall like a
frightened rabbit.
A Frightening Experience The chiming of the clock warned rae that Dick's dinner was due in half an hour. Hastily laying Jack's letter on the table, I hurried into the kitchen lighted the gas stove and put the tea kettle on. I had prepared the dessert early in . the afternoon, so I had not much to do. While waiting for the water to boil I laid the table. When the water was boiling I put the potatoes on the stove and prepared a simple salad of sliced pinsapple, cream cheese and chopped stuffed olives, with a French dressing. My electric coffee machine, the pride of my heart, stood on its stand near mv chair with coffee all ready for the addition of boiling water and the switching on cf the current. As I lighted the gas broiler for the steak I was pleasantly conscious that I had prepared a most attractive meal for my lord and master. The doorbell again startled me. As 1 opened the door I was confronted by a tall, middle-aged woman in rather nondescript clothing, and a most unpleasant face, upon which, as she saw me, there appeared a twisted leer which she evidently thought to be the most ingratiating. "You're the lady that telephoned to the Union agency for a cook, ma'am?" she asked, and at my murmured assent, marched past me into the room and seated herself. I am not familiar with intoxicants .or the people who use them, but I do know the odor of whiskey. Our physician used it to bring back my little mother from the terrible fainting spells she had during her last illness, and this woman's breath reeked of it. "This looks like a nice little place," she said patronizingly. "The woman at the agency said there were only two in the family, no children. I won't go where there are children, noisy little brats, always under foot, and I won't do no washing, you understand that, of course, I have a terrible weak place in my side, so I can't de real heavy work, but of course you have a laundress and a day for heavy cleaning, most ladies do." "Will you tell me just what you do expect to do for your wages?" I asked her. I had no intention of keeping her. but her assurance positively fascinated me. Was this the average specimen of maid? "Why, cook, of course, I'm a firstclass fancy cook, and keep my kitchen and dining room nice. I do the ironing, too, if there ain't too many fancy pieces, and dust and straighten up the
flat each day, but I don't make no beds." "What wages do you expect?" "Thirty dollars a month, and every other Sunday and every other Thursday out." She rose, and before I could prevent her had walked through the dining room into the kitchen.. "I always like to see the place where I've got to do my cooking," she said. "This ain't half bad. You're broiling steak, I see. . Well, I'm fine at that. I might just as well stay right now and get dinner for you." She started to remove her hat, but stopped abruptly as I spoke. "I'm sorry, but' I could not possibly use your services." "What's the matter with me?" Her tone was rough and insolent, and she glared at me as she spoke. "I do not wish to engage you, that is all. You may go now, if you will, please. I am very busy." I strove to speak quietly but the words only appeared to enrage her. "Oh! I know what's the matter with you, you don't want to pay for a first-class maid. What you want to do Is to go down to Ellis Island and get a greeny from the other side that you can give about $3 a week and boss around as you please. I know your kind. Give me the car fare I've wasted in coming up here and I'll get." . Her speech was so thick and her eyes so wild that I felt almost afraid of her, realizing as I did that she was more than half drunk. But I have always rather prided myself upon my composure in emergencies, and I did not wish her to know that she was frightening me. "I will give you nothing," I returned firmly, but my voice was much calmer than I, for she was between me and either the telephone or the door. "But if you do not leave this apartment at once I shall have you put out.and shall telephone the employment office an account of your conduct." "If you try any of that dodge your face will be changed so your man won't know it when he gets home." She fairly screamed the words at me, and then coming up close to me she shook her fist in my face. "Give me my car fare, you cheap skate, you, or I'll " She never, finished the sentence. Dicky who had entered, unobserved, grabbed her uplifted arm and rushed her to the door as if she were a bundle of old clothes. "If you are in sight two minutes from now an officer will take care of your case," he said grimly. I saw him

Girls if. you want plenty of thick, beautiful", glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring;, use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most If not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will . find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get-liquid arvon at any drug store. It is Inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv.
