Differentials as They Affect a City's Growth Richmond along with other cities of the United States is making a determined effort to increase the number of industries in its confines, on the theory that the prosperity of the municipality is intimately related with the industrial growth of the city. In accord with this theoiy, Richmond adduces a long list of inducements to entice prospective factory owners to locate here. The advantages of the city are set forth with the one object in view of attracting the attention of the factory owner and of ripening his decision to locate his plant here. Kansas City is doing the same thing. The Kansas City Star presents a phase of this competitive bidding for industries which is somewhat out of the common run of municipal advertising, because it strikes at the very fundamentals of the proposition. The editorial presentation of this problem in the Kansas City Star can be applied to Richmond. No citizen of this community can escape the make for municipal growth and prosperity.

ning of industrial districts. Cheap light and power from public utilities count in the cost of goods. So on down the list. The city of Gary, Ind., was planned by the steel corporation as a place where steel could be cheaply manufactured. Every city by careful planning may make itself a place where business may be done advantageously where the business differentials are good. . Kansas City today is dealing with one element in business differentials the widening of streets ond the laying out of traffic ways. Mayor Cowgill is simply showing excellent business sense when, as head of this city corporation, he gets the property owners of Oak Street together to consider the widening of the street and its extension south and east as a new traffic way. Congested streets mean high cost in cartage and in all local transportation. If Kansas City

had been laid out originally with wide streets and good traffic ways, how much the general cost of doing business in the city would have been lessened ! Now, as a business matter, as a matter of business differentia's, the mistakes of the past must be remedied a3 rapidly as possible. Every year's delay makes the process more expensive. The fatal mistake in dealing with city improvements that increase business differentials is to consider the city as finished. Kansas City is not finished. It has its own natural differentials in its access to farm products, to coal and oil, that are forcing it ahead. All signs indicate that it is on the verge of another tremendous era of growth. The question is, Will it plan for this growth intelligently, so as to provide all the advantages posible for doing business in Kansas City? Or will it go on blindly and throw away all the busi-

make all of us think more deeply on the problem in which all of us are interested. Says the editorial of the Kansas City Star: This article is on a subject that concerns the prosperity of every business man in Kansas City. It concerns the prosperity of Kansas City as a whole. It is on differentials. What are differentials? Advantages that one business has over the majority of its competitors. Better freight rates may be a differential. Better access to terminals may be. Efficient labor, cheap fuel, good management, a dozen things enter into the matter. Carnegie got rich because he created differentials in efficient organizations that gave him an advantage over his competitors. . Differentials are what every business man is striving for;. The history of successful business is the pursuit of differentials. " In the last decade of the last century and the

first of the present, big capital was sought as the chief of differentials. The United States Steel Corporation, with its enormous capital, is the monument of this effort. Then came the era of scientific management. The progressive business found its differentials and its success in stopping leaks and increasing internal efficiency. Another discovery in this field has been made in the last few years. It has been learned that there are possible business differentials in making the city a more efficient place in which to produce goods. The fact that certain advantages went with a city has been recognized unconsciously for a long, long time. Why does a factory find it more profitable to locate in Kansas City than in Tonganoxie? Because Kansas City supplies it certain differentials that it cannot find in Tonganoxie. But it has been assumed that these city differentials were fixed and unchangeable. Labor supply, railroads, coal these were taken for granted. The recent discovery is the recognition that there are any number of differentials that may be increased by intelligent community action. So today cities are beginning definitely to bid against each other for population and business. They are doing this by deliberately creating advantagesKlifferentials that their rivals .do not have. ' The costs of doing business are affected by conditions in the city much more than men used to suppose. Take the ordinary accounting list: Labor, material, transportation, cartage, light, heat, power, rent, taxes, insurance, interest, depreciation, selling expense. Consider to what an extent the city is an element in these costs. The labor supply is much more efficient in cities where families can find comfortable homes at moderate cost, where there is good transportation, good schools and wholesome amusement facilities. Cartage costs depend on the condition of pavements and on well conceived traffic ways, as well as on intelligent plan-

Plant More Vegetables The National War Garden Commission alarmed at the loss of fruit due to the recent cold wave, is advising home gardeners to plant more vegetables to make up for the loss. We gain nothing by deploring the loss of fruit but we will profit enormously if we set at work at once to remedy this loss by planting vegetables and canning the crop. A wise person wastes no time and worry over a loss which he cannot control. He seeks a remedy at once and tries to overcome the handicap by increased effort. The National War Garden Commission has given us the remedy for the

present situation. Let the garden work go on with increased fervor until the canning season arrives.

Twentynine different versions of the poem arrived in today's morning mail, and while we love these contributions and are interested in all of them, this column is only a column long and so far as little flies upon the wall are concerned, in the future it will be our painful duty to swat them.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK A FAILURE AT TWENTY-SIX None of us wholly succeed. Many of us are total failures for a while. For a long while sometimes. A remarkable man died the other day, a man who6e name Is a household word thruout the Nation and In many parts of the civilized world. You konw It F. W. Wooiworth. At twenty-six Wooiworth was a failure In business and In health. He was discouraged. He lost his job because they told him he didn't "have It In him." You see, he was misunderstood. But Wooiworth had a great mind and lots of stored character. Also, he had been feeding an Idea! It is dangerous to feed an Idea unless you expect to bring It Into real being. Wooiworth expected just this. He had In mind the buying ability of the many with little. He put every cent of his something like two hundred dollars total capital into the Idea. He Btarted his five and ten cent store in a little New York state town. It was a great success. It grew. Today there are thousands of his stores, and In New York there is a building which be erected that will stand as a monument to his faith. The Great Wooiworth building, erected out of the profits of five and ten cent stores. Is the tallest commercial structure In the world. It cost over a dozen millions and this man left a fortune of over thirty millions! But he was a failure at twenty-six! Wooiworth largely succeeded thru his desire to serve the many. In little things he lay great stress. And it was the little things that made him millions. Wooiworth had many wonderful habits. One of them was to send a telegram to all of his hundreds of store managers every once in a while greeting them and asking them if they had said "Good Morning" to their customers that day. Little things need attention first always. Then the big things follow. Wooiworth was a failure at twenty-six. And he started all over with the little things. He died big and great. You too can do wonders. Perhaps with YOUR "Good Morning!"

Dinner Stories

"Herbert," said an anxious mother, "your uncle will be here to dinner today, and you must have your face washed." "Yes, ma, but sposen he dont come? What then?"

It was after midnight, but there were still several men In the smoking room of the club. The conversation turned upon hair-breadth escapes. A weird, aerie feeling pervaded the atmosphere as one man described the dangers he had been through. "That's aU very well," broke In a strong-featured Individual, "but for real awe and uncanny terror, give me the roaring of a lion or the sharp trumpeting of the elephant, or the howl of the wolf, or the low, menacing hiss of the slow creeping serpent, borne on the still night air as you lie there weak and helpless as a newborn babe." They looked at him with great interest. "Have you really. slept in the jungle and heard these sounds?" asked one of the listeners. "Well, not exactly," he replied as he edged toward the door, "but I sleep with my windows open and my flat is close to the zoological gardens."

Gardening

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. TO the world-old reasons for our making gardens profit and pleasure a third has now been added, namely, duty. The cry of hunger echoes 'round the globe and a solemn moral obligation rests upon every one who owns or rents a little plot of ground to coax or compel it to "bring forth bread for the eater." The cold-blooded and the careless will not appreciate this obligation. So far they are from the scenes of horror which, were they immediately under their eyes, would terrify them into performance of neglected duty. But tender-hearted people, whose spiritualized imaginations onable them to realize the remote, as well as the near, will make a garden out of pity for the miseries of earth's starving millions. It is, Lowever. with the personal happiness to be de

rived from garden-making that we now concern ourselves. Already, even when the ground is cold and life inert, we feel the sweet enchantment of the oldest of the arts and acknowledge kinship with that Roman Emperor who abdicated his throne, retired to a little farm and replied to the emissaries who sought him out in his retirement and implored him to come back and resume his place and power: "Come with me into my garden and see my cabbages. Then tell me if I have not chosen the better part." It is one of the most exquisite pleasures of gardening that we are happy in our occupation without inquiring "Why?" Nothing is surer to destroy happiness than analysis and those diversions which demand it always pall upon our taste. The gardener's happiness is the happiness of a child, for whom the happiness is, in itself, sufficient. '

You will know them by their olive color. To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no pimples, a feeling of buoyancy like childhood days you must get at the cause. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act on the liver and bowels like calomel yet have no dangerous after effects. They start the bile and overcome constipation. That's why millions of boxes are sold annually at 10c and 25c per box. All druggists. Take one or two nightly and note the pleasing results.

The best thing to do to avoid spring fever and other kindred ailments to which the human body is subject to during springtime. Many men, women and children need a spring blood purifier. The blood becomes thick with poisons through the winter months. When spring comes, serious ailments like typhoid, scarlet fever, coughs, colds, catarrh, neuralgia, rheumatic pains, loss of appetite and a sluggish all-in feeling prevails. Loss of appetite also often occurs, together with constipation and a terrible torpidity of the liver, which makes the skin and the white of the eyes yellowish looking. The bowels, the liver and the kidneys need help. The blood needs thinning and purifying if pimples and boils are present. Laxcarln Tablets quickly remove constipation and kidney inactivity and elimination of poisons takes place and you are made strong and fit for spring and summer. Take a Laxcarln tablet for a few days early in the morning and when going to bed, and note the difference in your every day life. Note how well you feel, and how much better life will feem to you. Because no one can enjoy life if there is the slightest trouble with the system, especially when really serious matters like constipation, liver trouble, stomach disorders or indigestion occur. For your own health's sake try Laxcarin. There is nothing better. Do not accept a substitute. Write direct to the Laxcarln Products Co. and if you want enough for a full treatment then write for six boxes, the cost of which is five dollars. One box for one dollar, postage prepaid.

How Much Money Was Expended on 1838 Canal Plan?

Richmond has almost every kind of communication with the outside world, but lying on no navigable river, she has never had any kind of waterway. The nearest that the city ever came to this was the great RichmondLawrenceburg Canal dream of 1838. According to the projectors of the canal, the system was to be In two parts. Lawrenceburg, and thence to Cincinnati by way of the Ohio, were the objective of both, and the canal was to be single until it reached Brookville from the south, thence to

j be split in two branches, one to Cam

bridge and one to Richmond. The former, the Whitewater canal, was actually completed, by the assistance of the state. For the latter.

which would have cost about $508,000, i a first appropriation was made of $S0,000 of which $45,000 was expended. ! The enterprise was then abandoned, but traces of old embankments and ditches may yet be seen in the southern part of the county. Simpson Torbert, the engineer, was much disappointed at this end of bis dream. He had hailed Richmond a? the Pittsburg of .Indiana, foreseeing almost no end lo the growth of the city through its advantageous position as the head of water trade for all the

country north and east, through his project. But it was well that the scheme was abandoned, perhaps. The great floods of 1847 almost totally destroyed .1 TI'Lll. . , ,1 ft .A

This ia.the red-flag of danger better be wise and check the further mroads of kidney disease by obtaining that wonderful new discovery of Dr. Pierce's known as "Anuric" (anti-uric), because "Anuric" expels the uric acid poison from the body and cures those pains, such as backache, rheumatism in muscles and joints. Naturally when the kidneys are deranged the blood is filled with poisonous waste matter, which settles in the feet, ankles and wrists; or under the eyes in basj-like formations. Dr. Pierce's Anuric is many time3 more

potent .'than lithia and often eliminates uric acid as hot tea melts sugar. Coihen, Indiana. "For many years I have been a great sufferer with kidney trouble and rheumatic pains through my hips, extending down into my knees. At times I would be so still I could not get up or down. I had scalding urine; it would be very dark colored, and there would always be a sediment in it. I also had difficulty in voiding, only a littlo at a time, nnd then only with great pain. I havo taken many remedies with little or no relief. Quito recently I learned of 'Anuric' and began takiDg it. I have hardly taken ona bottle but I am much improved. I have no scalding, excretion comes with ease and comfort and the color is perfectly normal. I am feeling much better in every way than I have for some time past.
