Saving Historical Material

Not lenz ago the suggestion was made by the

Palladium that material of historical value pertaining to the war should be preserved in the city library. It was pointed out that historical material of Wayne county's participation in the Civil war is lacking. The general outlines are matters of record, but the hundreds of little incidents and the scores of auxiliary enterprises that worked with success have become tradition. No printed record remains for this generation. The Indiana State Council of Defense through Demarchus C. Brown state librarian, and Harlow Lindley, director of the department of Indiana history and archives, has issued an appeal, asking that two copies of every communication, pos

ter, nrotrram. rjhotoeranh. etc., which has a bear

ing on the participation of the community in the war, be turned over to the local librarian. The work of gathering this material from day

to day is not laborious. It will become a task if it is not kept up daily. The matter is of sufficient importance to warrant attention by citizens. Nationalizing the Express Business Says the New York Times: The settlement of the express problem is on all fours with the settlement of the railway problem. Jn both cases the trouble arose from "scientific" but impractical regulation, and in both case3 the government had to prescribe to cure the fits into which the Interstate Commerce Commission threw the patient. Nothing could have been further from the intent of the Interstate Commerce Commission than the results of its acts. The Commission meant only good, and expected popularity and power as the result of its reducing the profits and rates of the unpopular express rates was as symmetrical and logical as the postal zone rates. But they were as bad for the patient as the postal zone rates threaten to be. The railway and express settlements are alike in that both preserve some of the benefits of

both private initiative and public regulation. It might be asked why the government did not let the express companies fade away and simply ab

sorb their business for nothing. There was a' specific proposal of that sort in the suggestion that the government should establish a "pickup" plan and "store delivery," that is to say, should conduct the entire business of transportation between sender and receiver of goods. That is the foreign' custom. Our method resulted in terminal problems which cost more for local delivery than for the line haul, and contributed not a little to the stoppage of all traffic in the manner

which needs no description. Government operation of the express companies should end the terminal problem. Users of the express system should be relieved of the cost and trouble of delivering their freight to the railways, or of removing their consignments from the railway premises, where goods have piled up so that confusion and blockade reigned supreme. The arrangement gives the government at half price the benefit of an organized

and trained system in addition to the value of the plant, which is worth much more than what it would be got at any reasonable cost under present conditions. The express terminals are already organized in connection with the railways and they turn over some 30,000 motor vehicles which it would be inconvenient for the director general to buy under present conditions. The 100,000 employes of the four unified companies will serve the public better under one organization, no doubt, and the director general is relieved of the unnecessary trouble of organizing a business of considerable size, even when compared with the railways. On the basis of the period for which the railways are guaranteed future earnings, the express companies show earnings of $3,700,000. There is no guarantee of express earnings, but the partnership of the government with the express companies can have no difficulty of earning 5 percent on the capitalization of $30,000,000. There is rather a prospect that the economies of unification, and the natural growth of improved service, will result in larger profits. Above 5 percent the government is the preferred partner, its share rising as the profit rises, until the government's share is threefold that of the companies. It is a promising bargain for all concerned, the companies, the government, and the patrons of them both. Probably the taint of immorality arising from the distress of the companies by government action will trouble nobody, although the tide now is setting in favor of business as strongly as it had set against it.

A Bit of Wayne County's History. yesterday white visiting the graves of my parents at Elkhorn cemetery I spent some time in finding the grave of the first white person buried In Wayne county. Elkhorn cemetery has this honor. The grave Is in the east part of the cemetery. The person is that of a child, Jane

Baird. daughter of Mary and John

Baird; and the year of burial is 1808. The erave is marked by a small slab,

well Dreserved. and aside from the

inscription contains these words:

"First white person buried in Wayne

county."

No flowers decorated the small grave, but should it not In the future be honored as a bit of Wayne county's history? MAY W. TAYLOR.

PROF. GOOSEBONE'S FORECAST FOR SUMMER. Prof. Goosebone, the eminent past, present, and futurer, also lost the umbrellas recovered, who won fame by predicting the Messina earthquake the morning after it happened, and added to his notoriety by stating that Emperor Franz Josef would reach 112 year of age, has issued the following forecast lor the coming summer months, which may be taken as fairly

"There will be a rise in the price of several commodities during the summer, including fruit can rubbers, lead pencil sharpeners, snowshoes, violin strings, beefsteak, greaseless face cream and buttonhooks, on account of "There will be continued troubles In Europe, and a good many American will 6ail easward across the Atlantic. Indications point to the fact that the fight will not be over. before Jaly 4. "There will be rumors that the peach crop has been a failure. "Several congressmen will run for office again this fall. "It is indicated that money will be hard to get during this summer, but, on the other hand, it will be easy to spend. "There will be a good crop of gooseberries, because nobody likes them." Very few names in the "H's" of the Teutonic casualty list. No Hohenzollcrns, Hapsburgs, Hlnburgs or anything like that. The Prince of Wales is going to be

married. 'One war at a time evidently isn't enough for that boy.

PINNER 5 TORI E S . "I have come here, said the angry man to the superintendent of the street car line, "to get justice; justice, sir. Yesterday, as my wife was getting off one of your cars the conductor stepped on her dress and tore a yard of frilling off the skirt." The superintendent remained cool. "Well, sir," he said, "I don't know that we are to blame for that. What do you expect us to do? Get her a new dress?"' "No, sir, I don't intend to let you off so easily as that. What I propose to have you do," he said, "is to match this sflk." The American in England affords

cause for much perplexity and astonishment to his English kinsmen. A Yankee soldier was being shown over an old church where hundreds of people were buried. "A great many people sleep between these walls," said the guide, indicating the inscription-covered floor with a sweep of his hand. "So?" said the Sammy. "Same way over in our country. Why don't you get a more interesting preacher?"

Masonic Calendar

Better than metal.

Certain-teed is fast taking the place of metal roofs, not only because of the scarcity and high cost of metal, but because Certain-teed

Roofing

js superior iij every important roofing quality. Metal easily rusts and disintegrates from atmospheric gases. Certain-Ued cannot rust and its asphalt base makes it practically immune to any form of corrosion. Metal absorbs heat and transmits it to the interior of a building. Certam-tesd insulates against heat and cold, and makes the building cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Metal must be painted frequently.' Certaln-usd gives years of weather proof service practically without any upkeep expense. Metal is noisy in wind or storm. Ctrtain-tted fully deadens sound from such sources. Metal is not safely guaranteed. Certain-teed is absolutely guaranteed 5, 10 or 15 years. according to thickness, and actually gives longer service than its guarantee. Metal is a direct drain on military materials. Certain-teed fa made principally of wasto rags and asphalt materials which have so military use whatever.' Certain- teed has proved its efficiency and economy for every triad of roofins service factories, wax-sconces, hotels stores, farm buildings, outbuildings, etc.

Certain-teed is more economical and more efficient in service than metal or arty other type of roof. Certain-teed is the best qual ity of roll roofing it costs no more to lay than ordinary roll toofiag-and lasts much longer.' Sold by dealers everywhere.
