Buying Worthless Oil and Mining Stock If there was a time in the history of this nation that its people should be warned against investments in worthless stocks and promotion enterprises thai day has arrived. N Millions of dollars have been enticed from the savings of unsophisticated persons by shrewd and slick salesmen who have promised golden returns from mines, oil wells, and inventions. In thousands and thousands of cases the only return which the investor received for his money was a

stock certificate which was not worth the paper

on which it was printed. Promoters of securities of this kind are alT ways prolific of promises. They tell their victims that mines and oil wells near the property which they control are returning tremendous dividends to the stockholders. They point to the money a Rockefeller made in the Standard Oil company, to the fabulous riches which men have taken from mines, and step by step lead on their victims until they picture themselves riding in automobiles and spending money with the profligacy of millionaires in yellow-backed novel. Usually these stock promoters operate far from the property that contains the oil or mineral. As few of the men and women to whom they are trying to sell stock can personally investigate

the property, the salesmen can without fear of

contradiction paint the most glowing and winning picture, which the deluded victim accepts at face value. Secretary McAdoo is pleading with the American people to invest money in only those enterprises which are absolutely necessary. And yet, stock salesmen have the audacity to ask patriots to make investments in enterprises which are highly speculative and in which they run every chance of losing every dollar they have invested. We believe patriots of this community will give little heed to the deceptive inducements of men

trying to take money out of Wayne county for

speculative purposes. Uncle Sam needs every dollar which patriots of this community car give. Let us invest our money in the cause of national perpetuation and not in schemes that enrich outsiders and leave us holding the empty bag. A "blue sky" conference is in session in Chicago now. More than fifteen states have representatives at the meeting which proposes to devise methods to safeguard the "public from dishonest promoters," prevent "the flow of capital into highly speculative and fake enterprises," and "direct it into channels in which it is most needed to lend strength to the forces engaged in war." Capital is needed to win this war. Every dollar paid for speculative oil and mining stock is a dollar taken from Uncle Sam. ' A promoter of a speculative oil or mining company has unmitigated nerve and brazen impudence to come into a community to sell his stock when our government, day after day, is pleading with us to invest our money with him. It borders perilously close on disloyalty. The Palladium has an iron-clad ban against the printing of advertisements of speculative securities. The national vigilance committtee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World has issued the following warning: Investigation reveals that the advertisements of OIL PROMOTIONS which constitute the bulk of the speculative securities offered the public today are USUALLY MISLEADING. Ultimately such advertising will prove to be an IMPOSITION on the READERS of the publications in which the advertising appears. Newspapers have an especial opportunity to serve our country in the face of the tremendous responsibility to make a success of the next Liberty Loan, by paying heed to the GOVERNMENT'S appeal which has just been made public by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The stand which the Government takes relative to securities which are not compatible with the public interest may be seen in the earnest and serious appeal for support of public loans. The following are extracts from Secretary McAdoo's plea which has recently appeared in the press : "We must work and SAVE as never before in our history." "The great financial operations of the Government cannot be carried forward successfully unless the people of the United States economize in every possible direction, save thir money and LEND IT TO THE GOVERNMENT." '"They (the people) are at the same time INCREASING THEIR OWN MATERIAL PROSPERITY by their savings and they are DIRECT

LY HELPING THEIR GOVERNMENT by LENDING IT the money with which it can buy the necessary supplies and command the necessary services to make our FIGHTING FORCES STRONGER and more effective in the field; and THIS MEANS AN EARLIER VICTORY for American arms." "It is possible to transmute one's economies into a specific obligation of the Government and each one who saves is able to know that his economy is producing a concrete result advantageous to himself, of benefit to the winning of the war." "We must realize that the Government's credit is vital to the success of the war; that it underlies every activity." "It 'is as imperative to sustain the Government's credit as it is to sustain our armies, because OUR ARMIES CANNOT BE SUSTAINED unless the Government's credit is above reproach." 1 Confronted by the serious responsibility which these words place upon every citizen in this emergency, publishers will realize that EVERY DOLLAR that is DIVERTED from Government uses to the pockets of promoters of speculative enterprises at this time, is equivalent to a CONTRIBUTION to the cause of OUR ENEMIES. They will realize that the value of any speculative financial advertising should pass the test "Will it actually help to WIN THE WAR ?" NO PURELY SPECULATIVE enterprises can show eligibility under this standard. Owners of newspapers and other advertising media owe their co-operation to the Government as never before the extent of declining to accept the advertising of OIL or other SPECULATIVE promotions. Advertising is helping to win the war by disseminating information that serves our Government. Advertising must go further and REFUSE to carry messages that are not strictly in the public interest.

. Representative Elliott Representative Elliott is seeking the re-nomination as representative to Congress from the Sixth, district. The Republican party will both nominate and elect him without fail. This is a foregone conclusion. Representative Elliott, however, should not be asked to return to his district to make sure that he obtains the nomination at the forthcoming primary. Ordinarily he would not be forced to do so, as it conceded that he is entitled to renomination without opposition. A candidate has popped up who is disputing Elliott's legitimate claim to the nomination. It is unfortunate that an opponent should give occasion for a contest at this time. In an hour of grave national peril, the representative from this district cannot afford to be away from Washington. The man who is making the fight on Elliott ought to withdraw his candidacy. The patriots of the Sixth district ought to speak out in unmistakable words against the entrance of this man into the campaign. They oUght to let him know that the Sixth district wants Representative Elliott to stay ' at-his post. Elliott ought to be re-nominated without opposition and the man who opposes him ought to know that his decision to dispute Elliott's nomination does not square with the enlightened patriotism of the district and is calling down upon him the censure of patriots with vision great enough to see that the highest duty of the Republicans of the Sixth district just now is to assure our representative that he will be re-nominated without opposition. The message which Republicans ought to

flash to Representative Elliott is : "Stay at Washington. There is no opposition to your re-nomination. The Republicans of this district are satisfied with your stewardship and will give you the nomination without opposition." The man who may force Elliott to return to the district cannot hope for much encouragement from the voters. Republicans are patriotic enough to vote for a man who has proved his patriotism and loyalty by his stand in the national legislature.

Smileage Books

Richmond will respond nobly to the appeal for

the purchase of smileage books next Saturday. The books contain coupons entitling men in the service to attend all t entertainments at the can tonments free of charge. Purchase of smileage books is a little patriotic amenity in which all of us may indulge without impairing our wealth or working a hardship on r'IS. ' It is well to remember that the boys in the military training camps are sacrificing in the su. perlative degree in comparison with the sacrifice we are bringing. If we can contribute a little to their happiness, we are doing them a great service and ennobling ourselves. A good deed always has two aspects. It makes happy the recipient and brings satisfaction to the donor.

DINNER A most persistent creditor, who made himself as objectionable as possible to any, one unfortunate enough to owe him money, actually called on a backward debtor on Christmas day, and found him at dinner, busily carving a very fine turkey. "Now. sir," said the visitor, "When are you going to pay me?" "I should be only too glad," was the reply," but it is impossible. I am cleaned out; I haven't a dollar." "Why, sir, when a man can not pay his debts, he has no business to be eating turkey like that." "Alas, said the debtor, lifting his eyes as though deeply affected, "I could not afford to keep him." A small boy startled his Sunday school teacher by suddenly announcing, with great importance, what he considered a piece of news. "The devil is dead,, be said. "My goodness, gracious!" exclaimed the pretty teacher. "Where did you bear that?" "My father said so," declared the lad. "Yesterday we were walking along the street and a funeral went by, and my father said: "Poor devil, he's dead at last." A littje Kansas City girl received a nicely engraved invitation to an afternoon party the other day, in honor of young a playmate's birthday Delighted at the prospect, she gave the invitation a second reading, and then she tuddenly began to cry. "It says from 3 to 6," she explained to her mother, "and I am six."

"I could not serve as a juror, judge; one look at that fellow convinces me that he is guilty." "Sh-h, that is the attorney for the state."

Lebanon Five Has Won State Title Three Times in Last Eight Years Lebanon, by taking the 1918 state high school basketball tournament Saturday evening, has won the title three times in the eight years of organized high school play in Indiana. Lebanon won in 1912 and 1917. It is a curious fact, that the state title has always gone to some school from three adjoining counties, Montgomery. Boone and Tippecanoe. In 1911 Crawfordsville won the tournament. In 1912 Lebanon took it. Aided greatly by giant ' Homer Stonebraker, little Wingate came one the map in 1913 and 1914. In 1915 Thorntown captured the elusive silver cup. while in 1916 Lafayette had the state champion team. Lebanon has held the title for the last two years. All of these schools are within about thirty miles of each ohtre.

LIMA BEANS

Lima beans 'should not be planted until the ground la thoroughly warmed up, as they are a heat-loving crop and the seed will rot if planted when the ground is cold. Most gardeners prefer the pole varieties, as they yield better than the bush varieties and are superior to the bush varieties in many other respects. One marked advantage of the pole beans is that they may be planted around the fence, utilizing the fence as a support for the vines. In this manner a crop of beans can be secured with the use of a minimum amout of spacing. When planted in rows in the garden, pole Lima beans are usually planted in hills 3 to 4 feet apart and supported on poles or a string and wire trellis. The bush Limas are usually drilled in rows some 3 feet apart for horse cultivation, or slightly closer for hand cultivation. The Lima beans are a full season crop, that is, they occupy the ground for the entire growing season, and a sufficient amount should be planted to provide for the needs of the family for the entire season. Any surplus not used green may be allowed to dry on the vines, picked and stored for winter use. Lima beans constitute one of the most satisfactory crops for growing for winter's use. as the only care necessary to save them is to pick the ripe pods, dry them thoroughly and shell the beans. In the northern portion of the county where Lima beans do not thrive, pole beans of the Lazy Wife variety will give satisfaction.

SNAP BEANS Bush and pole beans are among the roost valuable and dependable crops of the garden. "When in doubt what to plant plant beans." Beans thrive best in a rather warm sandy loam, but may be grown on almost any kind of soil. For the" best results the soil should not be too rich in nitrogenous matter, or the plants will run to foliage and stems at the expense of the crop. Beans will not withstand frost, and the first plantings in the spring should not be made until about two weeks after the average date of the last killing frost. The soil should be in good condition and the rows should be laid out perfectly straight 'so as to make cultivation easy. One pint of the seed of most varieties of snap beans is sufficient for a 100-foot row. When the cultivation is done by horse, the rows should be from 30 to 36 inches apart. When hand cultivation is to be employed, the rows should be from 18 to 24 inches apart. It requires from 40 to 60 days for snap beans to be ready for use if the weather conditions are favorable. Successive plantings of string beans should be made at intervals of 10 days to two weeks throughout the growing season. By following this scheme a constant supply of tender beans will be assured. IJ.

Russian Violinist Charms Largest Concert Audience of the Season

Efrem Zimbalist. the Russian violinist, charmed the largest audience of the season in the fourth concert of Ihe People's Music Course Monday night at the Coliseum. The price of the seats brought a large response from Richmond musiclovers and every reserved seat was filled. The same prices will prevail for the Evan Williams concert, April 19. Zimbalist's program, while severely classical, was remarkably well chosen and it displayed his technical accomplishments to great advantage. Most of the numbers were colorful. He started his program with the monumental Sonata in E Major by Haendel. This work, making its appeal almost exclusively to the intellect, was well received. It was followed by the pyrotechnic Paganini Concerto. The third group wag composed of works by the old masters, opening with a Bach Aria. A Gavotte by Gossec, Beethoven's Menuette and Hayden's Vivace followed. Modern masters were given a bear-

FILLS STOMACH WITH NEW ENERGY Weak, Worn Out, Gassy, Sour Stomach Relieved and Made to Enjoy Food With 8tuart'a Dyspepsia Tablet. Most of us eat three times a day, and often forget that each meal should be disposed of in the stomach to make room for the next. The failure of the etomach to do this is called indigestion or dyspepsia, while the sour risings, gas, rumblings, pain, depression and the feeling of stuffiness when breathing is difficult. The most effective remedy and the most reliable one, because you can get it at any drug store in the United States or Canada, is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, at 60 cents a box. Instead of depriving yourself of food or going on a starvation diet, simply keep on as you have and let these tablets straighten out your stomach, digest the food and keep you in the fight. (Adv.)
