Boosting Armistice Day

The tour of Wayne county by the Young

Men's Business club on Nov. 9, only two days be

lore the Armistice day celebration, atfords a splendid opportunity for an effective boosting of

the day.

Virtually the greater part of the county will

be covered by the club members. Banners an

nouncing the Armistice day celebration and other

forms of publicity could be used with telling ef

feet. The committee on arrangements for the

tour, co-operating with the Armistice day com mittee, should be able to devise a method where by the trip would advertise Armistice day.

The whole county is taking interest in the

celebration, which unquestionably will be one of the most pretentious Witnessed here in many years. Decision of persons residing outside of Richmond to see the parade may be clinched by

a little missionary work done by the Young

.Men's Business club.

The Lesson of the Broken Turbine

The largest unit of the municipal light plant,

a 2,000 k. w. turbine, is out of commission. Two

or three days will elapse before it is repaired In the meantime power users must curtain con

sumption after 4 p. m. and domestic users are

urged to conserve lights.

Continuous power and light depends upon the other units, which will be worked to capacity, until the repairs are made. Should they fail, industries will be closed and the city will be without lights. Not only this menace must be considered now. While the large unit is idle, and power and domestic consumers are curtailing their use, the revenue which the plant derives from normal consumption is cut down, which will be reflected in the net earnings of the plant. In this instance the loss in revenue may not be large ; but if the plant is closed for a week or longer, the idleness

of the plant will be a factor in the earning capac

ity of the utility. If there are any doubting Thomases in Rich

mond today, they ought to be convinced now that additional equipment, speedily installed, i3 of paramount importance to the welfar of all of us. A wornout pump caused serious inconvenience

a few days ago. The largest unit of the plant is idle now. What next? How many pieces of equipment in the $1,000,000 utility, owned by the taxpayers of the city, may not be on the verge of going to pieces ? - The municipal light plant is a valuable investment belonging to the city of Richmond. City officials, who have been guilty of dilatory tactics to prevent the purchase of new equipment, intended primarily to prevent interruption of service, ought to see the full measure of their folly by this time. The citizens see it. They have warned against the danger for months. Not only are they cognizant of the danger, but also weary of the schoolboy antics of those who are permitting j the plant to go to pieces.

j Answers to Questions

R. B. H. Of what church is William Howard Taft a member? He is a member of the Unitarian church. Reader Give a short biography of Jean Webster. Jean Webster, author of "Daddy Long Legs" and other popular stories, was born July 24, 1876, at Fredonia, N. Y. Her father and mother were Charles Luther and Annie Clemens (Moffet) Webster. She was a grandniece of Mark Twain, and it is not surprising that her humorous writing had a little of that quaint touch which made her granduncle famous. In 1S96 Miss Webster graduated from Lady Jane Grey school and in 1901 received the A. B. degree from Vassar. For the next few years her time was spent in Italy, and in 1906-7 she made a trip around the w,orld. Jean Webster first gained popularity as a writer of a college girl story,

"When Patty Went to College," a humorous work published in 1903. "The

Wheat Princess" followed in 1905; "Jerry Junior" in 1907; "The Four-Poll

Mystery" in 1908; "Much Ado About

Peter" in 1909; "Just Patty' in 1911;

"Daddy Long Legs," her most popular

book, was published in 1912 and later was dramatized with some success. Her last book was "Dear Enemy," published in 1915. While working on the proofs of "Dear Enemy," Miss Webster was courted by Glenn Ford McKinney, a New York lawyer. "I am too busy," was her reply to his persistent proposals. Finally she consented to become hi3 wife on his promise that all wedding arrangements should be taken out of her hands, leaving her free to continue her literary work. Mrs. Joseph W. Lewis was the wedding manager. The wedding took place Sept. 7, 1915, at Washington Green, Conn. Mrs. McKinney died at her home the night of June 11, 1916. A daughter was born to her the day before.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

MANY LIVES So few of us are able to live even one life. While there are those who live a dozen lives all in one! Each day adds to the greatness of such lives as that lived by Roosevelt, Wendell Phillips, Gladstone, Beecher, Cecil Rhodes and Frances Willard. To have done with but one life would have been to kill off such heroic figures before youth itself had fairly begun. Take the single example of Roosevelt writer, naturalist, discoverer, statesman, reformer, scholar, editorhe was ten men all in one, living a score of lives over the course of one! And all the time human and gentle, with all the elements so mixed that the whole world might stand up as one witness to say that he truly was a man. It is unfortunate that we have but one life in space to live. But in this space we may crowd the activity of many lives and splendidly acquit ourselves in long and happy service. Each of us may live many lives! And there may be no limit to the number. But it is highly important that each life we live have back of it at least one big purpose. Let us not be petty at all. Let us carry around with us a goodly supply of the faith that conquers and the love that knows no extinction of time or space. Let us, however, resolve to live but one life at a time!

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

THE DRIVE IDEA. All our lives will be more sunny, rnd we'll chirp a gladder song, when they cuit the "drives" for money, which have bothered us too long. All Fuch schemes were gladly pardoned when the kaiser danced his jig, and the heart was cold and hardened that neglected to up-dig. I am always prompt and willing to help out a worthy cause, but I will not place a shilling in the drivesmith's eager paws. For I'm sick of people telling what I ought to give and where, tired of always digging, shelling, for some rchemo that, makes me swear. I will Rive to help the living and I'll give to plant the dead, but I won't bo bossed iu giving, and I won't be chased or led. In the war time drives were splendid, and they helped to can our foes, but he war is done and ended, and the people need repose. Do not bother friends or neighbors with requests for honest dimes; leave them to their quiet labors, as we did in olden times. Do not think up wo.lhy causes that require financial aid, for we've all been Santa Clauses till our nerves are tired and frayed.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

From Philadelphia comes the report Of several cases of sleeping sickness, but in Philadelphia, is it an epidemic or a habit? Out in our neighborhood the other evening the tenants had a meeting. Notices were sent out to all and sundry to be on hand because important matters were to be discussed, and there was a considerable amount of excitement in the neighborhood. People looked forward to the meeting with interest and the tenants of three or four houses planned to attend, which they did. The meeting, which was called to protest against the recentraises in rents and other difficulties of present cliff-dwelling, was held in a restaurant in the neighborhood, and a very good restaurant, too. There were so many psopje on hand that the restaurant couldn't care for all, and

some had to wait. The poor tenants, most of them who had not a dollar in the world, sat down at the tables and ordered what they could afford. The restaurant proprietor put on a lot of extra waiters and an extra chef and the orders for lobster and chicken and prime roast ribs and filet mignon swamped them. When the grand feed was about half over, an orchestra, concealed behind a bank of palms, began the seductive strains of a popular fox trot. The poor tenants began dancing and they danced and ate and ate and danced until 2 o'clock in the morning. The chairman who was to preside at the meeting, forgot all about it, and no one reminded him, and at 2 o'clock, of course, it was too late. The limousines of the tenants began arriving at 2 o'clock and they all went home, pronouncing it the most successful tenants' meeting they had ever attended. The rents remain the same. Love at first sight is wonderful, of course, but it doesn't cost a cent to take a second look.

Dinner Stories

At a school examination the examiner asked one child : "What are the products of the India empire?" The unhappy infant began nervously ot reel off the list she had got by heart:

"Please sir, India produces curries and pepper and rice and citron and chills and chutney and, and and and " "Yes, yes," said the examiner, impatiently. "What comes after all that?" Another infant's hand was raised. "Well, you tell her what comes after that?" "Please, sir, India-gestation." The ardent enthusiast had inveigled his Philistine friend to the recital by an eminent pianist. The program was severely classical and of lavish length. During v-pause

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Between 25 and 30 florists, members of the state association and nearly all engaged in the wholesale business visited the E. G. Hill greenhouses In this city. The visit was made on the Invitation of Mr. Hill, he wishing that his plants be inspected while under cultivation. According to reports which were made to the county officials and the officers of the Wayne county fish and game protective association, the fish in the Whitewater about a mile below the city and further south were dying by the hundreds. The cause 'was said to be due to the oil which was in the water coming from some factory in the city.

Irish Tourist Business Affected by Revolutions DUBLIN, Nov. 2. The tourist business in Ireland has ben Injuriously affected by the revolutionary disorders. Tourist agents and hotel keepers are in despair. North Wales and the Isle ot Man have captured the visitors who used to come to Killarney and Glengariff. There has been a notable absence of the usual Influx ot Americans. Dublin has suffered less proportionately than other places, but Dublin's visitors did not take the risk of leaving it for the provinces. There was no danger to lite or limb, but the dislocation of the railway service caused by the refusal of the railway men to carry soldiers, police or munitions made the train service so uncertain that nobody could count safely on reaching or returning from any given destination within the limits of a holiday.'

Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change in her life without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, smothering spells, fainting spells, nervous troubles and irregularities are symptoms that should have prompt attention.
