into the city in which he resides. His career has been marked by an unselfish devotion to civic

improvement. Such a citizen is an asset to a community and a real factor in its development. Hence, his fellow citizens rejoice when they learn that high honors have been bestowed upon him.

New Honor for James A. Can

The1 Italiati government will soon confer upon

James Av Carr the5 decoration of officer of the order of Saints Maurizio e Lazzaro. His valuable services as chairman of the allied purchasing commission during the war prompted the Italian king to bestow the honor. This is the second decoration which lias come' to Mr. Carr as a result of his patriotic services during the World war. The French government made him a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in recognition of the same work for which the Italian government is conferring upon him his latest decoration. Mr. Carr brought fTo'the discharge of Ms duties ripe experience, sound judgment, keen executive' ability and the hustling energy that kept supplies and munitions moving toward their destination overseas after the orders had been placed by his commission. . It is said that the value of the commission to the. allied government consisted not only in its ability, to place orders here, but also in. seeing that they, were filled promptly, moved to the sea- . board and gotten overseas. The. community may have a justifiable and pardonable pride in the honors that the French and Italian governments have bestowed upon Mr. Carr, one of its distinguished citizens. Mr. Carr in his long residence in Richmond ha3 been a busy man, but still he always found time to devote to the promotion of the city's interests.

Gas Conservation

Gas conservation by increasing the rate so as j

to force consumers, to use less of the product will not appeal to the average consumer. , Gas Tates are high enough as they are. The average housewife conserves without being told to do so, for the rate is so high that if she squandered gas the bill would be exhorbitant.

If the Tates are increased to a still higher figure, it will not cut down the consumption appreciably. Arguments to this effect will not persuade the consumer. The fact remains that natural gas is waning. Indiana wasted its supply. Now the West Virgiania fields are fast losing volume. Increasing the rates to conserve the little that is left is comparable to locking the barn after the horse is stolen. Conservation should have been the rule years and years ago. Then this generation and its posterity might have enjoyed the advantages of a clean, smokeless, instantaneous fuel supply. We have no guarantee that if Dayton raises its rates the supply furnished to Richmond will be more abundant than it is now. From a purely commercial standpoint it would be to the interest of the gas company to give Dayton, with its higher rate, a larger supply than Richmond, with a lower rate. The best attitude of mind to. assume toward the natural gas situation is that of resignation to the fact that the supply is almost gone and that we will have to turn to the artificial product for relief, or use electricity, wood or coal for cooking purposes. Eleventh hour attempts to regulate the amount of gas used, or to increase the rates, are foolish. Housewives resrulate the

Answers to Questions

Reader: At -what point did the armies of General St. Clair and General Wayne cross the Eaton pike and the National road? Is there a marker

at either of. these two points? Our

correspondent at Eaton has supplied us with the following informationNo record of General St.' Clair's trail

lis to be found in Preble county. It I has been lost entirely, according to

information obtained from a Preble county history. It is presumed General St Clair and his army entered Preble county from the south and worked northward, keeping to the west of Serenmile creek, which flows through Eaton, as he established Ft.

St. Clair, within a mile west of Ea

ton. As to General "Wayne, he passed Eaton to the east, according to the county history, crossing what Is now

known as the Dayton and Eaton pike at a point approximately a mile east of town. In makine his war on to

Greenville he crossed what is now known as the National road, about 8 miles north of Eaton, at a point where, or near where, the National road intersects with what is now known as the Eaton and Greenville pike. While Wayne's trail through Preble county is practically authentically established, yet no markers 'have ever been placed to designate the trail. County members of the D. A. It, a few years ago started a move

ment to erect markers along the trail through the county, but nothing was accomplished.

BANK HOLIDAYS Our bank is closed three days a week, in honor of some cheap event; "This is the day," the, tellers shriek, "when o'er the ice Eliza went ; and so

we close our gorgeouss doors and drop all useless toil, and play; and customers and kindred bores must come around some other day." I have nine dollars in Its vaults, and if I wish to pay a bill, and to that granite building waltz, the doors are closed, already stilL I seek the cashier, vexed and cross, and ask him why the doors are shut; "This is the day when Charlie Ross was kidnapped by some locoed nut. And all banks are closed, my man, for banks must celebrate

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

WANT BUT LITTLE GIVE MUCH The only things which we may hope to take with us when we go to sleep for the last time, are the things which we have given away. For no matter how rich or haw many things we hold, they will have to stay in the place where they are at that time. You can't direct folks to Heaven as you do to some destination for instance when you are aBked by some automobile dr?ver. Hfavrn isn't a place it Is a reality! And the only route to Heaven is by giving things to people all the time. Want but litle. For the more you get, the more you will want and thb more you want, the less you will feel like giving away. I have noticed that the most generous people in the world ere those who appear to have the least though somehow to be always hav

ing just a little more from where they took what they have Just given away. Another thing those who Bit around wanting somethmg-U the time, rarely get anything or anywhere. The worker with his hands gives much. The artist elves much. The

musician gives much. The singer gives much. The teacher gives much. The man or woman behind a desk, day after day, givps much. The builder givos much. The mother gives all. If you stepped up to a very big man and asked him what he wanted most, he would probably say he didn't know! Keep wanting to do more but not to get more!

stable, would never allow a horse out of his sight without giving the hirer strict injunctions not to drive fast. Ono day a caller asked for a horse to attend a funeral. "Certainly," said Spurr, and then, forgetting the solemn purpose for which his customer wanted tho horse, he added, as usual: "Don't drive fast!" "Look here, old man," was the re ply, "I would like you to understand that I shall keep up with the procession if it kills the horse."

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Dedication of the public art gallery was planned. The principal features of the dedication were to be music and addresses by local residents and art devotees. Final arrangements were made for the series of evangelistic meetings to begin here Nov. 6, under the direction of George Mahy, one of the most noted of eastern evangelistic workers. The services were to be held at the East Main Street Friends church.

FOREST FIRES HALTED AS RAINFALL NEARS RECORD DULUTH, Minn., Oct. 15 The heaviest rainstorm recorded in more than six years drenched northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin Thursday and Thursday night, and it is (believed have removed further menace of forest fires in that district. The

local weather bureau gave the precip

We are charmed to note that the cost of clocks has been advanced 10 per. cent. We thing this is no more than right. The clocks are working harder than ever to keep up with

rainer lempermentai aesires as regards the various brands of time from which we wish to pick and chooee. The average clock has to suffer til'? ignominy of being called a liar about twenty times a day. In the case of a railroad station clock, this happens five thousand times a day. The other day a man left New York for Leonia. N. J., at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at his destination at 2:30. In one Pennsylvania town they are luxuriating in three different kinds of time and every kind of time has its flock Nof adherents, so the condition may last forever. In a place like Detroit, where travelers are supposed to set their watches from eastern to central standard time, they have old-

fashioned sun time as well as daylight saving time. There is no reason why

the most particular person should not

find a sort of time to suit him. But

we must admit it's tough on clocks.

Which reminds us of a man who

was traveling in Virginia and asked

an old colored man the time. "What

Most women neglect their health, and for this neglect they pay the penalty. Any woman who suffers thus will find that she loses flesh faster than Nature can put it on.

TboTAfeak to Do Anything The ordinary every-day life of most women is a ceaseless treadmill of work. How much harder the tasks become when some derangement peculiar to her sex makes every movement painful, and keeps the nervous system all unstrung until life seems hardly worth living. Every women in this condition should profit by the experience of these two women whose letters follow.

Read the Experience Reading, Pa. I had organic inflammation, pains in the side and back which were so sharp that they pulled me to my knees, and I could not walk. I had an operation and still I failed, and in the eight years I suffered I had four doctors and none helped me. My mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I was then in bed, and after the first bottle I could be out of bed, then I took Vegetable Compound Tablets and Lydia KPinkham's Blood Medicine and also used the Sanative Wash. I still take the medicine and am able now to do my own housework. My friends say, 'My! but you look well what do you do? Who is your doctor?' And there is only one answer, Lydia E. Pinkham's medicines which I gladly recommend.' " Mrs. Wm. Stein, 660 Douglas Street, Reading, Pa.

of These Two Women Gainesville, Tex. 11 For three years I suffered untold agony each month with pains in my side. I found only temporary relief in doctor's medicine or anything else I took until my husband and I saw an advertisement of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I mentioned it to a neighbor and she told mo she had taken it with food results, and advised me to try it. was then in bed part of the time, and my doctor said I would have to be operated on, but we decided to try the Vegetable Compound, and I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash. I am a dressmaker and am now able to go about my work, and do my housework besides. You are welcome to use this letter as a testimonial as I am always glad to speak a word for your medicine." Mrs. W. M. Stepiiens,202 Harvey St, Gainesville. Texas.
