j ; How the Bolshevists Work , ; ' After. Karl Liebknecht wa3 killed in Berlin some interesting facts about hi9 personal affairs came to light. He posed as a friend of the people, as a man who had no love for money and believed that it was a crime to save money. Liebknecht left a fortune of $3,000,000 in cold cash. Some of this money was in the banks subject to check, some was in safety deposit vaults, and some in his home. A considerable fortune for a Bolshevist to have. Most of us know that the Bolshevists are waging a war against wealth. They believe all money should be confiscated and divided among the masses. They ruthlessly destroy the buildings and machinery of industrial plants on the theory that these are the agencies for the exploitation of the laborers. They loot and sack banks on the theory that no one, poor or rich, has a right to accumulate money. ' And yet Liebknecht, leader of the Socialists, a friend of the masses, packed away $3,000,000 in his career. He obtained it by blackmail and assassination. His favorite method of getting rich was to summon wealthy persons before him and demand money for protection. If they refused to comply, they were put on hi3 "death list". , His list showed that one man paid $100,000 and many $25,000 for protection. Liebknecht was out for the money, but the "cause" got nothing. 1 4 i s s e i The Business Cost of Bodily Unfitness Home Gardens The relation of bodily fitness to productive business output is an intimate one. No one need deny that the physically impaired man cannot produce as much in a day as a man who is in good health. Most persons accept the dictum

without argument, but few pay attention to the gtand loss which labor and business suffer annually from preventible illness. , An article in a current issue of Physical Culture says: ... t . , "The world today is at least two full years behind its 'schedule' in production of goods. "For four years, twenty million men stopped making things, and spent their time destroying the products of other men's labor. "Ten million persons are dead; they will lift shovel or operate lathe no more. "For years to come possibly for decades hungry nations will be crying out for every sort of product which fulfills a human need for more foods, more clothing, more manufactured goods, more building materials, more machinery, more vehicles, more farm implements, more household conveniences. "And the brunt of this great burden of manufacturing must be borne by the richest, greatest nation, the one least scarred by war, the creditor of the world the United States. "There never was a time when the business men of this country needed so urgently to study the problem of increased output, greater economy of operation, improved methods. . ? "There never was a time when the worker needed to give so much of productive effort for his dollar for the sake of himself, of his country, and even of the world! "Yet standing squarely across the path of progressive increase in business and industry, is the bogey of physical inefficiency.

"No man can do justice to himself or his job unless he can bring to his day's work a clear head and a sound body. And because of the willful neglect by the great mass of Americans of the simple, common-sense laws of right living, the percentage of our total working population which keeps 'up to par' physically is pitifully small. , "The United States Government some , time ago investigated the facts regarding one million workers, and found, that using them as a basis for computation, the employed population Of the United State3 loses two hundred and seventy million '.working days every year through sickness! "In November, 1918, the average wage of all the workers in New York State was $21 a week, or $3.50 a day. The national average is probably somewhat higher, but taking this as a conservative computation, this means that work to the value of nine hundred and forty-five million dollars is lost every year almost a billion dollars. That means that every hour of every working day, three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars' worth of work is being lost because somebody didn't take the trouble to learn to live right, and thus escape easily-preventable sickness and disease! The interest alone on this annual loss

to the country would be more than a million dollars a week. "You must not forget in this connection, either, the tremendous toll of preventable that

J is to say, unnecessary deaths in the United

States every year, which is not, of course, included m the foregoing computation. Our mortality statistics show a pitifully small percentage of deaths from old age, which is, after all, the only real excuse anybody ought to have for dying (except in such epidemics as the influenza-pneumonia wave last year which killed six million people throughout the world, and from which three hundred thousand died in the United States alone). "Returning to the 'preventable sickness' question, our readers must not forget that the government figures included only those lost working days when the worker was sufficiently ill to stay home all day. No account was taken of the days when poor work, or insufficient work was done by a man or woman. Your own common

sense will tell you that for every day that you

are ill enough to be home in bed, there are at least ten days unless you are one of the fortunate few who understand and practice right living when you don't feel well enough to do

! yourself or your tasks justice. What the mone

tary loss is in the United States every year from half -sick people loafing on their jobs, no one can say; and we do not even dare to print our own estimate!"

It'll Be a Big Year lit Backyard Gardens

Many thousands of home gardeners who went "over the top boII" last year in the production of vegetables for home tables are already planning and planting to beat their own records the coming season, according to reports to the United States Departmen of Agriculture. . . So far as can be ascerained, the demand for food will be as great in 1919 as last year, and It will be necessary for everyone to do his part in production or .conservation, or both, if possible. The demand for garden land in and around large cities is greater than last year, reports indicate. Nearly all the old gardeners are lined up for 1919, and thousands of new ones are Joining the ranks every day. . Millions of Americans have been shown that a very small piece of land will produce enough fresh vegetables for the ordinary family if properly cultivated. Few people realized, until they tried the experiment, how many good things to at could be grown in a city back yard or on a vacant lot. In seven cities of Indiana last year there were .over 129,000 home gardens, with an estimated value of $1,550,000. In six Ohio cities having a total population of 1,640,000 there were counted 102,875 gardens having a valuation of $1,922,475. ' . The appeal made by Uncle Sara last year for more and better home gardens met with a hearty response from every state in the Union. No exact figures as to their number or aggregate contribution to the country's food supply are obtainable, but department officials believe the results fully Justified all he efforts put forth for them by the government, the individual gardeners, and the local associations working in many cities and towns. iome Garden Movement Permanent. No doubt is seen that the city home garden has come to stay. City people have learned how good and fresh vegetables can be when they come right from their own back-yard gardens. They have also learned that a garden helps to get rid of that Jaded feeling that follows a hard day in the store or office. It has been shown that the home vegetable garden is something that the whole family can get interested in and help to care for. The schools are teaching

j the principles of gardening, and the boys and the girls by this method are get

ting acquainted with Mother Nature and learning the value of efforts put forth intelligently and systematically. There were some failures last year. But their number was small when

the number of home gardens is considered. A fact of large importance is that

in cuies having twenty to thirty thousand gardens less than 1 percent of failure to complete the seasons work was reported. Department specialists emphasize that production of vegetables in back yards and on vacant city lots is not a fad, but a substantial economic movement. Thousands of people have become permanent producers and are adding materially to the creative forces of the United States. What the Gardener Needs. The essentials for a good garden are a little land, plenty of sunshine, a few seeds, some tools and aa abundance of enthusiasm and work. Given these, all other difficulties can easily be overcome. At least one million families last year attempted gardening for the first time, and the greater part of them succeeded. There Is always something of interest In the garden from the turning of the first spadeful of earth to the gathering of the crops. There are difficulties to be overcome, but to the true home gardener a few potato bugs or some weeds merely are the obstacles to be met in any striving for good things. In some cities last year prizes were offered for the best gardens, but in many instancs the winners never claimed them, for they considered th gardn and its products thir greatest prize. The United States Department of Agriculture is ready to give tested advice to both experienced and amateur gardeners. A postal card request to the Department will bring free its bulletins on this subject, written by government specialists to embody the results of many years of investigation in such form that they will be readily understood.

DOUBLY FORTUNATE Columbia State. A woman was saved from drowning in New York. That was fortunate. But wait a moment until you hear how fortunate it was. That woman was a cook.

Keep the Garden Going. If you started a home garden last season, how about making it a permanent food producer? A bed of asparagus is known to have given continuous service for more than thirty years, and asparagus is one of the first of the spring vegetables. A row of blackberries along a gaden fence has produced abundant crops for twelve successive years. A few hills of rhubarb have provided delicious sauce and helped with the making of pies season after season, with very little cost or attention. Strawberries require more care, but they furnish the first ripe fruit in the springtime, and a very small plot of ground in one corner of the garden will supply the family. Put into a home garden a little money, knowledge gained from competent advice and your spare time. Draw from it an insight Into the workings of nature, healthful exercise and a reduction in your food bills. A home garden is a good thing to keep going year after year.

WAR'S TRAGIC AFTERMATH A modest soldier, back from war, picks up a magazine and sees his wife who had not received her .allotments from him, has been earning' her living by posing for corset advertisements. A disembarking captain is met by only one messenger with the following note: "Dear George Sorry, cannot meet you, but am enjoying winter sports in the Adirondaeks. Do hurry up. All the men say I am the best winter sport here. KATIE." Private Buck, who Mas always been billeted in haylofts, dugouts or cattle cars, finds he is slated to address the Gothic society of his home town on "Beauties of the Interiors of French. Chateaux." A wounded sergeant returns to his pacifist birthplace, and, seeing it gayly decorated, supposes it has changed its sentiments and is celebrating his homecoming. But he finds it a wel, coming a native conscientious objecttor, just honorably discharged from Leavenworth prison. A soldier who has been reported killed returns to find his wife married to another man. He takes it very philosophically, having wedded a French girl in a moment of forgetfulness. Corporal Thirst, who has faithfully kept a promise to his sweetheart not to take a drink until his return to the United States, disembarks July 2, 1919.

Garden crops are divided by United States department of agriculture specialists into four groups with respect to planting the seeds or setting out the plants. Group one (may be planted two weeks before last killing frost) : Early cabbage plants from hotbed or Beed box, radishes, collards, onion sets, early potatoes, turnips and mustard. Group two (may be planted about the date of the last killing frost): Beets, parsnips, carrots, lettuce, salsify, spinach, wrinkled peas, cauliflower plants, celery seed, onion seed, parsley, sweet corn and Chinese cabbage.

Group three (should be planted two weeks after last killing frost): Snap beans, okra and tomato plants. Group four (cannot be planted until ground is well

wanned up, about a month after last hard frosts) : Lima beans, pepper plants, egg plant, cucumbers, melons, squaBh and sweet potatoes. Don't take a chance with Jack Frost. If uncertain of bis probable last appearance consult experienced gardeners or the nearest weather bureau station.

- ASSISTANT "IF" BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

1 Some people work splendidly through the aid of assistants others do nothing at alL because they choose the wrong assistants. The most useless assistant on earth is Mr. Assistant IF! -This is the way Mr. IF works: I know of a salesman who went out to sell. He took along with him his assistant IF. And Just about the minute he seemed ready to close a sale, his prospective buyer brought up some objections and the salesman not knowing how to meet them replied: "If. If. If." In other words, this salesman turned to his assistant. Mr. IF, and Mr. IF was there In all his glory and his glory lost the sale. Mr. IF is the busiest assistant on earth. To the uneducated man . he says: . "If you had had better advantages, you would have been a big success. , . To the man with ideas, but lacking push and character, he says: "If you only bad the money, you would be able to put the thing through." And to the man with money, but without the brains or initiative, he says : "You would be a world builder, if " Many a man owes hia success to the fact that be was literally "kicked out' into a cold, cruel world, with nobody to encourage him and to spur him on but his SOMEBODY inside his heart and soul. The .only worthwhile assistants are those of Faith. Courage, Indomintable Will. Actuated Vision. If you get this little Mr. IF working within you, it always means trouble. So that the only safe and sane procedure is to choose those assist- - ants whose thoughts and hearts beat accurately with yours. If Mr. IF wants to work for you, tell him that you don't need him and that even if you thought you might need him, you would not have him, any way!

When Was First Methodist Church Started in City?

Daniel Fraley, a sturdy pioneer circuit rider, conducted the first services of the First Methodist church, almost one hundred years ago. For 10 years a log house on Front street, private homes and schoolhouses were used for service. In 1829 the first church, a frame structure, was built. The membership then was 65. A second building was erected in 1851 on Pearl street, now Fifth street. It is now used by tho Nazarenes, and is a Richmond landmark. .. In 1885 the present church on the corner of Main and Fourteenth streets was built. A little later the Fifth street church was organized and the Fifth street church was deeded over to that organization. During its century of existence, the congregation has been served by 40 pastors and has sent out many ministers, educators and missionaries. Its membership now is 600 and there aro 30 stars on the church's service flag.

CONTRIBUTED VERSE

In Memory of George H. Knollenberg The founder now has gone to rest, But his good work goes on; He worked and strived to build the best, He wanted nothing wrong. When most young men were wasting time, He labored night and day; The building that he made so fine, Erected not for play. The Sabbath day was rest for him, Upholding Christian right. In it he showed the usual vim That made his life so bright. He helped deserving people win, When facing total loss; His deeds will n'er grow real dim I'm glad he was my boss. But. now we've laid him away to rest 'Till end of time shall come; He lives thru lives that he has blest, Though now his work is done. By an Employee.
