The Red Cross Wants Cast Off Clothing Long appeals to the benevolence of the citizens of Richmond are not in order. The Red Cross is asking for cast off clothing to warm the poverty stricken people of northern France and Belgium. The statement should suffice to produce every piece of wearing apparel that is not in use. Old dresses and suits hanging in the closets or gathering dust in the attics should be taken to the Red Cross headquarters at once. Thousands of refugees and other thousands of soldiers are returning to their homes. Many of them find nothing but ruins where once stood their cottages. They find their families shivering for want of warm clothing. The industrial

re-adjustment has not progressed far enough to permit them to make the necessary purchases, and, if they have a small supply of money, the price of clothing is so high that it is beyond their purchasing ability. Richmond has shown its generosity by more than one signal act in the last four years. Here is an appeal that should be heeded at once.

The Punishment for Anarchy

General approval is given by citizens who believe in the preservation of law and order to the sentence of death imposed upon Cottin, who attempted to kill Premier Clemenceau. The origin of anarchy i3 not always attributable to a social order which, it is alleged, does not permit a man to make a living wage. Cottin, ac

cording to the evidence, had shown himself capable of earning $9.25 a day. The motive for his deed therefore, cannot be traced to hunger and privation, but i3 to be looked for in his own moral make-up, which, according to the evidence, showed "he was desirous of destroying everything because he found society badly organized." J. 1 J A 1 1

vomn was not driven to violence Dy moroia introspection of his own sad plight, but brazenly used the principles of anarchy to commit a crime

against the social state, which is organized for

dependent and have been denied some of their natural birthrights. There aro being maintained in the orphans' home3 of the state about 1,900 children for whom good family homes are desired. We believe that for every homeless child that is physically and mentally normal there is some good home ready and able to receive it and give to It the love, caro and training of which it hag been deprived through no fault of its own. Many of them are of the impressionable age between 5 and 12 years old. They want homes. They want kind, sympathetic, patient foster fathers and mothers who will help them to grow into useful citizenship. The citizens of our state and the public officials can render a most useful service by helping secure homes for these unfortunate children. Figures in the office of the Board of State Charities show that many thousand children have had advantage of foster homes in past years. About 3,200 of them are in family homes at the present time under supervision, while many others have been legally adopted. These children are having restored to them their right to normal life and training and in return are bringing happiness to many foster parents.

The 1,900 children in orphans' homes are longing for a like opportunity. Vill you help them ? Will you take some boy or girl into your home and find other families who will take them? If you want to render a useful service to the children and to the state communicate with the board of children's guardians in your county, the orphans' homes or the Board of State Charities, Room 93 State House, Indianapolis, for desired information.

Corrects Article on Moving of CourtHouse

Editor Palladium: In your issue of Tuesday, the question, "When was the court house moved to Richmond?" is asked, and correctly answered, so far as the year of the removal of the county seat is concerned, but incorrect and misleading as to some things that occurred at that time. I was a county official at the time of that eventful epoch in our county history and hope that you will pardon my presumption, if it bo such, in offering to enlighten you on Rome thfnes that did not occur, as

getting contracts and going to work. Activity in one line is always reflected in another, and activity in one branch of business begets activity in others. Conditions may not be entirely ideal right now in every respect, but nevertheless a big drop in the price of materials and labor need not be expected within the near future.

all of us collectively The great men of this world and the common run of us seek to improve conditions as we find them in our environment. Men of Cottin's type are bent on destroying everything without offering a substitute that will make society safer and the world a better place in which to live. Anarchists, the I. W. W. and the Bolshevists are like men residing in a house, who, because they do not like the architecture of the structure, apply the torch to the edifice. They do not stop to think that they themselves as well as the other occupants of the house are involved in its des

truction. The social structure must be protected ;

against anarchists and fanatics. If these men do not like the social state as constituted, they have no right to "destroy everything because it does not suit their fancy".

the work can be done at odd times and will not prove burdensome. There are cases, however, where the land i3 bo hard that it can be neither plowed nor spaded, and about the only method of breaking it up is

by the use of a pick or a matock. This would seem like an impossible proposition from a garden standpoint, but, on the other hand, hundreds of splendid city gardens have been grown on just such land. . In some cases the rocks removed from the soil have been sufficient to construct a fence around the outside of the garden. Fine, Fertilized Soil Essential. The essential in preparing a difficult piece of land for a garden is to get the soil broken up fine to a depth

of 8 to 10 inches and to incorporate with it considerable quantity of stable or barnyard manure. The supply of manure in cities is now limited, and gardeners should make early arrangements for the amount they will need. Assuming that the average back-yard garden will be about 30 by 60 to 40 by 80 feet in size, it is safe to recommend the application cf one large twohorse load of manure to each garden. In some cases vacant city lots have been used as a dumping ground for manure and no additional fertilization will be required. This is the exception, however, and as a general rule it will be necessary to apply fertilizing material to the land. Wood Ashes Valuable. Gardeners frequently inquire as to the advisability of using coal and

wood ashes on garden soils. The use

Lime should always be applied to

the surface, and in no case should it be put on the land at the same time as commercial fertilizer. The proper method would be to spread the lime uixm the land just after plowing and before harrowing; then apply the commercial fertilizer one week later. Under no circumstances should lime be mixed with commercial fertilizer or manure, as it liberates the nitrogen from them. The cleanings from the poultry house are valuable as a garden fertilizer, and these should be saved in barrels or some other receptacle where they can be kept reasonably

i dry until they are spread upon the

garden. This class of fertilizer is very rich and liable to burn the plants if applied in too great quantities or in direct contact with the roots of the plants. Preparation Saves Work.

The work of cultivating the garden will be greatly reduced if special attention is given to the thorough preparation of the soil before any seeds are planted. In spading the land it should be turned over in small slices and thoroughly pulverizer with the edgf of the spade. No amount of raking of the surface will result in pulverizing the lower strata of soil unless this is done as it is turned over. In soils that are easy to handle, a 4-tine spading fork is to be preferred to an ordinary spade, because it breaks up the soil and pulverizes it to better advantage.

The home gardeners of England take great pains in the preparation of their garden soils even going to the

Army Politics

From tho Indianapolis News.

1TII tho bars of the censorship let down and the

tongues of returning soldiers released by their

iscbarge from the army, the public is learn

ing a good deal about the array that is not wholly to the credit of the system which our regular military establishment had worked out for such emergencies as the war. Personal grievance of soldiers should not bo confused with a careful inquiry into the whole situation, but each poldler's story has its effect on public opinion, and the trend of these stories is causing some uneasiness. That the regular army officers have followed a policy of standing by each other is pretty generally believed.

Regular army officers were of necessity placed in posi-.

tiona of high command, and it was natural that they Bliould favor the advancement of regular army men whom they had known professionally and socially for many j-eara. Tho seniority system in the army, under which nffloprs are promoted largely according to length of

service, sometimes brought men of mediocre ability into positions of responsibility for which they were not fitted. No one was better able to appreciate this than guard and leserve officers who came from civilian life where competition drives the unfit out. Yet such were the demands of discipline and military customs, that higher commanders were safe from tho criticism of junior officers. In defense of regular army officers, it is contended that they were entitled to all they could get. Until five years ago there had been for several years a growing sentiment among pacifist legislators that our regular army was a more or less useless ornament. Army appropriations were year after year cut to the minimum. The ambitious officer met only with rebuffs. His country refused to buy ammunition for target practice, it would not bear the expense of adequate maneuvers, it lagged in the adoption of new Implements of war, such

as the machine gun; It neglected the airplane and balloon j.ervice. The bright young officer, fresh from West Point, met with discouragement on every hand. And an army is no better than its officers. It can not be denied that many regular and reserve officers suddenly elevated to high rank became inflated with their own Importance. They were not broad enough to appreciate the peculiar talent required to accommodate a civilian army to the standards of the regular establishment. Whether this is because they were narrowed by the kind of life which a niggardly congress forced upon them does not matter. They held high positions at tho

expense of discontent among their men. They cost the army a good deal in spirit, They were respected and obeyed because they demanded respect ard obedience as due their rank, and not because of their personal force. This Is all right in the case of junior officers who are in process of development, and must be protected by a system of discipline, but it does not become seasoned soldiers of high command. The public will eventually decide whether the old army system produced the kind of higher officers that in case of war this country must have. The decision will be made on the showing in. Europe. The record of performance alone is what a nation demands when it sends its sons out to die. The general achievement, "it must be admitted, was amazingly good. Neither the reserve nor the regular officer must be condemned without a hearing. His difficulty in getting before the public Is great. If his army political system works as well as his critics contend, however, we may expect to hear the other 6lde of the story The official reports of operations in Franco will tell much. And, no doubt, General Pershing will in due time respond to the public demand for information. He is at present busy, and so are most of the regular trmy officers now In service.

of eonl ashes is pormipsible on heavy i extent of throwing the surface soil to clay soils.

quantities of decayed manures mixed with it. This process is known as "trenchir.g" and has the effect of carrying the crops through the drouth period in much better manner than where the soil is not broken so deeply.

Good Evening! By ROY K. MOULTON

THE REASON.' Several centuries ago A crime was committed in Rome, Which attracted much attention At that time and was given A scare head in the Rome "Index," A gentleman by the name of Caesar, Julius Caesar, in fact, Was set upon by his friends And was stabbed in the Forum, The forum being a vital spot. His best friend, a guy named Brutus, Put on the finishing touches. They gave sime sort of excuse At the time, we believe. They did it not because they Loved Uncle JuliU3 less But Rome more But that wasn't the true reason. Tho reason, we firmly believe, Was because Uncle Julius, In a grouchy moment, When he had had a dull evening In the Appian cabaret, And things were not breaking right, Became aggrieved against humanity And invented the month of March And put it in the calendar.

seat was in Centervllle Is certainly short several years, and that Abram Ernest, George W. Barnes and Thomas Nestor, a committeo to secure options on the court house square were retired farmers wIU make their old associates smile. Except A. Ernest, who was a retired tailor, they were active business men here for several years after the county seat removal. But these are minor criticisms. The last paragraph is decidedly mislead

ing, and conveys to the mind or tne reader the idea that physical force was employed by Richmond to wrest the county seat from Centerville, and that CenterviUe resisted in kind to the extent of firing shots. Such a statement is very extravagant and unjust, as no physical force was used by Richmond to compel Centerville to give up the county seat, nor by Centerville to retain it, except that when the order was made for us to move, a train of express wagons came from Richmond to haul the records and office fixtures away. The people, who were applying to Judge Geo. A. Johnson for a restraining order, closed and barred all entrances to the court house square until they heard from the court, who granted the temporary injunction and fixed a day for the hearing. The wagons sent to move us returned home empty as they came, and no one was molested nor were there any Bhots fired on this occasion. A few days later Judge Johnson heard the case and decided in favor of Richmond, and the records and office fixtures were

; quietly moved to Richmond, some of

the citizens of Centerville assisting. And the county offices and court business was completely transfered to Richmond. Sometime afterward a party of workmen were taken over to Centerville to dismantle the jail in order that the cells, etc., might be moved to the new jail in Richmond. They were quartered in the sheriffs residence and some persons, to have some excitement or fun, possibly both, secured a little Fourth of July cannon from Abington, loaded it with a charge of powder, slugs, etc., and in the stillnes of the night awoke the slumbering workmen with a shot that crashed through the front door, damaging it. No one was injured. Some pistol shot may have been fired at this time, but not when the county seat was moved. JESSE E. JONES. City Route A. Recorder from March, 1872, to March, 1880. j
