, Reunion of Wayne County Exiles The semi-annual reunions of former residents of Wayne county now residing in Indianaolis suggests that they still love the place of their nativity and want to keep alive the memories clinging about the community in which they spent their early days.

The outstanding feature of the program al

ways is a series of talks in which the old days in Richmond and Wayne county are recalled.

Many interesting incidents that have been forgotten are reviewed and names of persons, once

prominent, are again mention by their descend

ants.

It is commendable that our exiles, steeped in

the multitudinous cares of business and profes

sional life in Indianapolis, devote a little time twice a year to reminiscences of their old home

town.

The folks back home have not lost sight of

their absent sons and daughters and are pleased

when they hear that the exiles have held one of their reunions to talk about the "old days" and

the "old home."

Wayne county has contributed a notable

group of men and women to the community life

of Indianapolis. Since pioneer days Indianapolis

has drawn heavily on Wayne county for talent

The county takes a pardonable amount of pride stock for him.

The Proof of the Contention The folly of investing good coin of the realm

in stock promotion schemes was conclusively

proved by the inventory of the estate of a former

citizen of Richmond filed with the county clerk

the other day.

An estate that might have been worth more

than $15,000 proved to be worth less than $300

Most of the savings of this man went into stock

certificates of companies that never panned out. I The promoters of these schemes, you may rest assured, lost nothing by the venture. They received their share of the money. If persons with savings will constantly keep in mind that the promoters of companies usually "charge" from 20 to 50 per cent of the receipt of stock sales for their "services," they will reject every offer made to them. Meritorious ventures need not go begging for money. Shrewd financiers will not let a sound proposition escape. They will advance the money. The public is not to be invited to participate in "good things." Recently a business man of this city who resided in the West for a number of years said one of the capitalists of that section who had made a fortune in mines told him: "Never invest in mines advertised in eastern newspapers. Do you think we who are on the ground floor would let a good thing get by us? We are here to snap up every likely prospect, and don't have to go east to get the money." This business man added that he had saved money since his return by keeping in mind what the western capitalist told him. No gold or oil

Answers to Questions - : , SUBSCRIBER Does any woman hold an executive governmental position in Canada? Miss Isabella Cummings, for 12 years in the civil service, now is secretary of the depart, ment of agriculture of Saskatchewan. It is said tha,t she is the first woman in Canada to hold an executive position of this kind. M. B. C. Can Jamaica ginger be sold for beverage purposes? A few weeks ago a Connersville merchant who sold it for this purpose was fined $100 and costs. This should be convincing proof that it cannot be sold for beverage under the prohibition laws. READER What salary does the king of Italy receive? His yearly salary 13 $3,750,000. PUPIL Who wrote "I'd Be a Butterfly?" Thomas Haynes Bayly. T. R. How old is Major General Gorgas? He was born Oct. 3, 1854, in Mobile, Ala., the son of a Confederate general. Readers may obtain answers to questions by writing the Palladium Question and Aaimr Department. Questions should be written plainly and briefly. Answers will b strca briefly.

Previous warnings having failed. Mayor W. W. Zimmerman informed representatives of the various public service corporations of the city that unless the streets damaged by these companies were repaired, the city would do the work and charge the cost to the concern leaving the street in bad condition. Dr. Jeannette Peterson, wife of Dr. Charles A. Peterson, fell down the stairs at their home at 1:30 a. m. and sustained serious injuries. It was thought that she had suffered a severe concussion of the brain. A farewell dinner was given by E. M. Haas, retiring secretary of the Com-

mercial Club, to the officers, at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Haas was to continue as an active member of the club. Best

wishes for his success as local postmaster, an appointment just received. . were extended him.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

LAPS This is an inspiring subject. The poet has always thought so. He has sparkled literature with his descriptions of "the lap of Nature." I see in my mind's gallery many a beautiful valley, many a fertile plain dotted with daisies, or golden rod, or white lilies and I say: "What a lap!" But the greatest, lap in the world is a mother's lap. I know all about that kind of a lap. Many a time it warmed

me, and dried away tears, and fed me, and cheered me. It had a brown or blue apron on it, and when it wasn't busy mending my aches or pains, it was at the job with a pan of potatoes or something. I hope some poet will take this idea and write an immortal poem on Mother's Lap! A year or so ago I saw a play. Things hadn't been noing very well with the two who made up the story. But when all seemed lost, something happened and the big man-baby all of a sudden climbed into his sweetheart's lap and the play was all over because, you see, it had to end happily. I don't know what this world would do without a woman's lap. A lap isn't of much use, however, if it doesn't hold something. But I would rather see it hold a human being, or r pan of beans, or tomatoes than a clog much as I love dogs. Laps fliould be useful. There is another lap that should r.ever be forgotten. Before me. on my walls, is an etching by Whistler of an eld lady with a white cap on her head. emtio wnrir In lier lan T pupss

When i Wohah is Nervous Worried The lives of most women are full of worry. Men's troubles are bad enough, but women's are worse. Worry makes women sick. It pulls them down, and in their weakened condition they are subject to pains, aches, weakness, backaches, headaches and dizzy spells. Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. Any woman will find that neglect does not pay. A little more attention to health would brighten up her life. If she asks her neighbors she finds that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription benefits a woman's whole system. It not only acts upon the troubles and weaknesses peculiar to women, but is an allround tonic that braces the entire body, overcoming nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness and a run-down condition. Mount Versos, III. "I am glad to Bay that Doctor Pierce'a Favorite Prescription proved just as good as it is advertised to be. I was weak and lacked strength and ambition. I had worked hard and was poorly. I used the 'Favorite Prescription' and it gave me new strength, and seemed to put new life in me. I waa pleased that it did eo much for me and I am very glad to recommend it." Mas. Will. Kewby, Ko. 1213 West Broadway.
