Saving Our Shade

City Engineer Davis has called attention to . the presence of the hickory bettle, a pest which will destroy our shade trees if we do not begin to

fight it at once. Fortunately, parks so far have been spared the beetle, and precautions are being vent its inroads.

Richmond has a priceless possession in the

hundreds of shade trees that Few cities in this state have as trees in the parking strips, or trees planted by owners of homes.

Our forefathers understood the practical and ornamental value of trees. They let trees stand

where they did not interfere with streets and

sidewalks, and as soon as a street was laid out lined it with trees. We are enjoying the heritage they created for us. And with pardonable pride we can say that we have not departed from the ways of our fathers. Wherever you may go in Richmond, you will find saplings, planted by owners of property, which in a few years will have attained sufficient growth to be ornamental for the streets and to afford shade for the occupants of the home. " Our interest in trees cannot lag. Neither can we afford to permit pests to destroy the trees that have been set out. If you notice that a pest Ls attacking them, communicate with the city engineer, who will be glad to co-operate with you in saving the trees. The Armistice Celebration With characteristic zeal, various organizations of Richmond are preparing for their individual participation in the Armistice Day celebration. The collective results of these efforts will result in one of the most pretentious and beautiful parades the city ever has seen.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams In the Midst of the Elements that Build Us. We daily send out our thoughts and live our little lives in the midst of moments that others a dozen hundreds of years ago bathed their thoughts in and hovered their bodies about. Tn the midst of elements that build us, we strive and learn and gain our small rewards then, bowing, we hear the echo of applause that others have long ago heard, and pass to our dressing rooms beyond the play. For, after all, "we are of such stuff as dreams are made, and our little life is rounded in a sleep." We love, work, laugh, weep, wonder. In the deliciousness of experience we make our moves and then wait till the other fellow makes his. We know thyftt we are trail and that we are but dust existing for a little time in borrowed bofljpsbut across the horizon of our hopes, there flashes an eternal sign which tells us that we are as immortal as the stars! To the troubled heart I would say: 'Never stop beinff glad that you are here in this world even tho it is for but a brief flash as compared with the running years that have forever run." In the midst of the elements that build vou, von are as a mother, wakeful at 11 dead of nifht, for the love of the one whom she has borne. "KVn from the tomb the voice of Nature cries, Ev n in our ashes live our wonted fires!" Rippling- Rhymes By WALT MASON OCTOBER SIGHS Mv heart is sad and sober, and has a convex pain; for all through gray October I'll bear this sad refrain: "The Fall will r.oon be ended, ihe Autumn fair ana sp'emlkl; let all your rags be mended, for Winter comes again!" 1 11 hear it in the calling of wild geese overhead, and in the ceaseless falling of withered leaves and dead; and in the farewell singing of birds prepared for winging to lands where tempests .Mn.oincr dnn't make a man see red. October days are golden, although preen thinsrs expire; her many charms embolden the bard to swat his lyre; but alwavs there Is sighing, and sad and plaintive crying, and lovely things are dying, in 'dun and brown attire. The sunshine's paler, weaker, that lato was glowing strong; the evening -winds are bleaker, the nights aVe dark and Ions: and all the signs are hinting that Autumn's swiftly sprinting; soon Winter will be winting its rude, ferocious song. October's mild and pensive, she has her quiet joys: her smiles are comprehensive and fall on all the boys; but while she's with us staying, her dulcimer a-playing. my thoughts are ever straying to Winter's angry noise. Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton A Chicago couple have decided to forgive and forget and start their married" life all over again for the thirteenth time, which reminds us strongly of old Mrs. Purvis, who lived in oui home town. She used to go down and get her husband out of jail about once a month, and always'said: "Its funny about me and Hank. I know he is no gooxd. Somehow I can't live with nr without him."

Richmond never has! been backward in staging beautiful processions and enlisting the participation of its benevolent, civic, fraternal, business and industrial organizations. Sometimes the impression prevails that we are slackers in civic affairs and cannot be aroused to a high pitch of enthusiasm. But a glance backward to some of the beautiful community celebrations that have been held here belies the thought. . Few cities in Indiana, if any, staged patriotic parades that approached in elaborateness and general participation the processions that were held here during the war. Tne pageantry that accompanied former Fall Festival celebrations not only was elaborate and beautiful, but also included floats and marching bodies from almost every organization in the city. The Armistice Day celebration will demonstrate again that the spirit of Richmond is keenly alive to every proposition that invites general

Trees the trees in our ravages of the taken to pre

participation. The response that greeted the first suggestion of the celebration by the Central Labor Council is evidence of the abiding love of our citizenship for this community and of its willingness to manifest it in a visible form. It is an indication of a healthy and virile pub

lic life that is responsive to every call of good citizenship. Many a city would be proud to. claim as one of its distinctive characteristics the democratic and co-operative spirit that has manifested itself time and again in this community.

Registration and Voting It may seem a far cry from registration day to election day, but it may not be amiss to say that a good citizen not only enrolls his name so that he may vote, but he also goes to the polls on election day to cast his ballot. Registration makes a voter eligible to cast his ballot, but it remains with the elector to exorcise the privilege. In this election momentous questions, involving the weal and woe of the nation, its national

destiny, and the consequent happiness of its citizens, are at issue. The issues will be decided by the voters. Hence, every eligible voter should go to the polls to cast his vote. There is no partisan exhortation in this appeal. It is the performance of a duty which every voter owes to himself and his country.

It is doubtful whether we will ever have a woman president, for the reason that tho constitution provides that a president must be thirty-five years old. One way to catch a murderer is to publish a picture of his 10-ccnt watca chain. That is one of the poore3t ways. It is liable to fasten suspicion on almost any man these days.

Memories of Old Days This Paper Ten Ago Today Years Preparations for the great industrial parade which was to start at noon on the following day were being made, as a feature of the Fall Festival. Inclement weather had halted some of the nreDared celebrations, but fair weather was promised for the remainder of the week. Practically all business was at a stand-still, while all efforts were being made to make the big festival a success. Mrs. Emily B. Kidder Dies At Lawrence, Kan., Monday Mrs. Emily B.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Producer is Underpaid; Consumer Pays Heavily; is Complaint of Farmers (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 4 Chicago's market for fruit and vegetables from middle west truck farms is a "treachurous, inefficient system working at the expense of both producer and consumer," the Illinois Agricultural association declares in a statement made public here today. The association, which is composed of nearly 100,000 Blinois farmers organized in farm bureaus, has recently determined to establish a fruit and vegetable marketing department, and as a step toward this end recently sent an expert rnto the South Water Street market, the largest of its kind in the world, and the Randolph market. At the same time he reviewed prices in grocery stores. Find Shocking Conditions. What the produce grower receives on these markets bears extremelylittle relation to what the consumer pays for the same vegetables, the association declares. Officials said thev had names and figures to back up their statements. The investigator reported produce was being taken back to be dumped because its growers could not afford to sell at the price offered because there was no sale at all. There is room for farmers themselves to improve their methods, the association's investigator reported. He said he found need for more honest methods and for better standardization. At association headquarters here today it was said that the first efforts of the association in developing marketing methods would be made "at home," with the farmers, for betterment in these respects. The association's statement summerizing the report received says: "Producers have no way of telling the supply or demand of the market and cannot supply the market inteliigently. Some days there is a flood of certain kinds of produce and very often there is a shortage of that some product the' next day. Wide Price Range. "Prices differ 100 per cent to growers on the same products and the same quality, even the same hour of the day. "There is little standardization of packages and considerable dishonesty in packing. "The price received by growers on the quantity on the market has little or nothing to do with retail prices in Chicago. "Some C00 auto trucks from a radius of 50 miles from Chicago come to the Randolph and South Water Street markets each day. These truck gardeners sell to comrai-.!--i men, wholesale houses, speculators, peddlers, hucksters and consumers. In order to get a stand for the day's market, truck growers begin to arrive at 4 p. m. The drivers sleep on top or in under the wagons, according to the weather conditions waiting for the market to open up next morning. "The price a grower gets depends largely upon how good a guesser he is on the supply of produce on the market, that day which he has brought in and his dickering ability with the buyers he meets. Investigation shows that some growers sold tomatoes in the box and bags of corn for more than twice as much as others on the same morning. A market may fluctuate from 50 to 100 per cent in garden products within a few hours' time." Among other blessings this year that you may have overlooked, is that the fly crop Is not nearly as large as in most years. . -. ... ..

BREEDERS OF PORE LIVE STOCK GATHER A meeting to discuss the advisability of forming a Wayne county Breeders association, will be held in the town hall in Centerxville, Wednesday evening. Representatives from Richmond business organizations and clubs will meet in conjunction with the members of the Swine Breeders' association. The. cheif topic of discussion will be the formation of a society that will foster the breeding Of all kinds of pure-bred stock. The advisability of buying or leasing a tract of land near Richmond, where stock shows and exhibits can be held, will also be taken up, according to Walter Fulghum, secretary of the Swine Breeder's association. Business men of Richmond have become enthusiastic over the establishment of a showing place near here for stock. It has been pointed out that several of the smaller towns in Wayne county have held successful exhibits, most of them having a larger entrance and attendance than their facilities could take care of, as a result of thi3 condition it is planned to make Richmond the center for the county .and construct a place large enough and suitable for the county exhibits. It is suggested by those interested in the project that the pure-bred stock exhibits could be held along with the big fall festival, that is being planned for next year. In this way Insuring a close co-operation between Wayne county and Richmond. Local clubs have appointed the following delegates: Rotary Arthur Curme, Willard Carr and J. F. Hornaday. Young Men's Business Club R. G. Leeds, Clem McConnaha and C. F. Ferling. Chamber of Commerce A. G. Mathews and Harry Gilbert.

noAUmon nnncDO ijnHifrunu ulli fLno SPEECH TO FARMERS IN CENTER TOWNSHIP By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. Farmers of Center township met &i the Centerville town hall in regular monthly cession on Monday night. The membership was liberally represented and the session interesting. The first year of the Wayne federation is now coming to a close; there is a drive for members right ahead, and in view of that fact it was deemed best to defer the election of officers for the coming year until after the round-up. In order to give the new members a chance to do a little voting on Monday night, November 1. Earl Crawford, of Milton, was the speaker. Mr. Crawford is state deputy for the Sixth district, and is now devoting nearly all of his time to federation work. He is an earnest advocate of co-operation and a student of the farmer's problems and their most feasible solution. Tells About State Work. He presented his views and told of what the state federation had accomplished in one short year, much of which was devoted to building up the membership, which was some task and also of vital importance, as in numbers lies its strength to effect what is ! aimed to accomplish. The memoer- ! ship now exceeds 70,000. The speaker stated that Hamilton county naa ccently made a drive and that it now leads all the counties in number of tit,- rvnwfnrd diseussed the coming drive in Wayne, and stated that the state directory was advocating a threeyear membership contract. This would be an economy of time and labor in the canvas for members, would stabilize the organization and insure funds for the carrying on of its work, and would ' result in general Denent. muui u been already done for tne lnaidn farmer, but vastly more remains to he done; both as to the buying of supplies and the marketing of products m a way to eliminate every unnecessary expense in distribution to the ultimate consumer. A Stock Yards Example. The speaker stated that when the federation took up the marketing of live stock at Indianapolis n cerpH that but a single pen for calves wa3 provided with water. r inhumane, for one thing. This and furthermore it entailed an average loss to farmers of $300 per day on account of extra shrink, because of lack of water. At this time every call ! pen has running water, through the wont of the federation. The live stock marketing committee of Center township reported to the meeting. Nothing has yet been diflnitely fixed, it simply "reporting progress.' Gaar Eliason, township chairman, reported that the petition for crossing gates had been taken up at Indianapolis and that a hearing would be held there next Monday, at which the petitioners must be representer. The meeting "broke' at 10 o'clock, after a more than ordinarily interesting session. Farm Sale Calendar j Wednesday.

The Farm

By WILLIAM "With reference to the grain market conditions," said John Hazelrigg, Tuesday, "they couldn't well be worse. It isn't to be expected that farmers will offer anything now, nor mighty little during the recent continuous break. Why should they? The stuff in store will keep. It was put away for that purpose. I haven't tried to buy clover seed of late. It should be worth much more than current market prices. While I have heard vot clover being sold some lower vhe least we have paid 13 $10 per bushel, for both English and little red. I am advising growers to hold their seed. "As to prices declining generally the farmer is the man who has really been hit. In all other lines the Jobber or merchant can regulate his losses or Insure a profit. They are his goods and he puts a price on them. Not so the farmer. I can't see that the H. C. L. looks much different than usual. It is still doing business at the old stand, in spite of the break In some lines at mills and factories. It is going to take time to get down to a satisfactory and permanent level, of course." Rebuilding at Eldorado "WTe are rebuilding and remodeling our elevator. said H. L. Trick, of El-1 dorado, "and consequently have not been in the market for some time. We made a clean up, had a busy season and have no complaint to make, whatever, but are mighty sorry to see things go all to pieces so suddenly. It is enough to take a man's breath away. Of course no one can buy a dollar's worth at present prices. There is no encouragement for a farmer to market either wheat, corn or oats and nothing in It if they do. The frost did not hit us last Saturday morning, at least did no damage. Tomatoes are still ripening and were not injured, and tobacco is under cover." Bought Conservatively George Richards, of New Paris, doubts that the bottom has been reached. He says that the days of war prices are over and that nothing can be maintained at former levels. Mr. Richards says they have bought very little grain for weeks. He says they had anticipated a considerable decline and handled their purchases on a safe basis and have kept closely sold out. He claims that they have had a very good season and that their elevator has made money on the 1920 crop movement. "Farmers are likely to hold grain now; they have no inducement to sell, but even so those who hold too long are not likely to make by it, in our opinion. We can't get back to very high levels, In our view. Everything is coming down, and to stay down where they belong, is the way we see it." Wheat Cost $2.26 The cost of producing wheat in Mis souri this year has been set at $2.26 by the Missouri College of Agricul ture in an exhaustive review. This cost is based on 25 cent3 per hour for labor, aside from harvest days, 15 cents per pound for twine, and 12 cents for threshing. To these is added an allowance of 8 cents for delivery at local mills and elevators, and horse labor at 15 cents per hour. Figuring labor actually used, seed, fertilizer and twine, and an allowance for abandoned acreage, the Missourians figure that oats cost the farmer 75 cents per bushel on the farm in 1920. It is not very likely that wheat and oats cost more to produce in Mis souri than in Indiana in 1920. At present price of wheat and oats, not a single farmer will claim that he is making money. But most or our wheat and oats sold at much higher than ruling prices, mostly from the machines. Lime, Live Stock, Legumes The slogan of a gentleman farmer, Governor Lowden, of Illinois, is: "Lime, live stock and legumes.'" The governor has 5,000 acres of land in the Rock River valley, a once sandy soil of little value, which now pro duces $100 worth of alfalfa to the acre. There are 500 pure-bred Hoi CASCARETS "They Work while you Sleep' Feel fine as a fiddle!

Dyspeptics, they call themselves, but they stretch the imagination when they do it. All these people need to make them healthy, cheerful and of sound appetite is a box of Ml-O-Na Tablets. The stomach of a dyspeptic Is overworked and run down. It needs help to digest the food, but more than that It needs a prescription that will cleanse, renovate, strengthen and put elasticity into the stomach walls. Mi-O-Na Is the prescription that will do this and do it so promptly that you'll wonder why you didn't try It before. It stops belching of gas and distress after eating in five minutes.
