New Honors for E. G. Hill Wayne county has produced eminent men in many walks of life. Both state and nation have drawn heavily on this community for statesmen, jurists, writers, musicians and painters. Scores of the sons of this political unit of Indiana today occupy prominent places in the financial, educational, business and professional spheres of the nation. ( One seldom looks for high achievement and international renown among men who devote their lives to the cultivation of flowers. And yet, a Richmond man, E. G. Hill, has given to Richmond a distinction by his lifelong study of flowers and the creation of. new roses and crysanthemums that is as conspicuous as it may be unknown at home. His high position as a rosarian is well known to his intimate friends and to his contemporaries

in the business, but the public generally knows j

little of those achievements and attainments that, by making him an international figure, have added luster to our own community. Two gold medals will be conferred upon him Tuesday by a representative of the American Rose Society and the city of Portland, who has crossed the continent to attend the meeting which the Rotary club will conduct in connection with the celebration. The Rose society has conferred upon Mr. Hill a medal in recognition of the creation of the 'Columbia'' rose, which, after being tested for two years in the international rose testing gardens of Portland, received 98.66 points out of a possible 100. Thirty-four roses were in competition with the "Columbia." The city of Portland will give him a gold medal for the development of a shrub rose. The creation of a new rose is not an easy task. Thousands of seedlings and grafted plants are matured month after month in the hope of iinding one worthy of "adoption." The first test sorts out the singles and defective roses, after which comes the time of suspense required to separate those good enough for rigid trial in a forcing house. Everything but the best is discarded until finally the perfect rose is developed and matured. For a generation or more Mr. Hill has purchased and tried every variety of rose in the world which seemed to have a possibility of de

velopment. In 1912, on one of his trips abroad

race over all forcing roses of previous introduction. Mr. Hill combines with his love for flowers a commendable interest in civic affairs. He is one of our upstanding, progressive, alert and aggressive promoters of the community's welfare. In his make-up are found high spiritual qualities and endearing traits that make him beloved by all who have the privilege of being counted in the circle of his friendship. The distinction that has come to Mr. Hill is a deserved one. The whole city rises to acclaim him as one of its best men, one of whom it is justly proud, and for whom it wishes long life, continued prosperity and the best that Providence has in store for man.

The Demand of the Farmers More than a mere Economic principle is involved in the demand of the farmers of the United States for adequate credit arrangements so that they need not sell wheat for less than it cost them to produce it. The farmer answered the appeal of the world for greater production, and now when it is discovered that there is too much wheat to bring a price of $3 a bushel, the agriculturist is asked to pocket the loss. If the farmer complains loudly against this injustice, who is there among us that will say the farmer is wrong ? Organized efforts to obtain a square deal are in progress in Kansas, Texas and Iowa and farmers elsewhere are demanding better prices for crops and adequate credit to finance their industry. Who can deny the justice in their requests? If the farmer is asked to sell his wheat for less than it cost him to produce it, is he not justified in asking that wage earners accept reductions in wages, and that the manufacturer, jobber, retail trader lower prices so that the whole burden of the decline does not fall on him? "It would require more than an expert hair splitter to define the difference between carrying on credit for gradual distribution of a million or ten million tons of raw materials used in industry to prevent a too rapid' break in prices, and carrying on credit a part of the wheat crop on the farms to prevent collapse of prices," says the New York Herald. "The wheat crop will be carried over anyhow, for the world will not buy more than it needs; but it will be carried over in such manner as to put the profit from prices stabilized to the consumer into the pockets of somebody besides the farmer." The farmer under normal conditions is engaged in a hazardous industry, as far as financial returns are concerned. He gambles that sun and rain will enable him to put in his crops and garner them in season. These are factors over which he has no control. If weather conditions destroy his crops or lessen the yield per acre, he

R. E. A. We have submitted your question to the state librarian of Kentucky and hope to have the information here late this week. E. A. To decide a wager, please tell me at what time Garret A. Hc bart served as vice-president of the United States. Did he die in office? If so, who succeeded him as vlcepresident? Vice-President Hohart, elected with McKlnley In 1896, died in office on Nov. 2, 1899. It Is customary for the majority party in the senate to elect a chair pro tem, who presides in the absence of the vice-president. The Republicans were in control of the senate at the time, and William P. Frye was the chairman pro tem. He served In that capacity until Roosevelt was sworn as vicepresident on March 4, 1901. Garret A. Hobart was born at Long Beach, N. J., in 1844. He graduated from Rutgers college in 1863 and was admitted to the bar three years later and practiced jwith success at Paterson, N. J. He held a number of state offices, among them serving in both the assembly and the senate. Went to the Republican national conventions five times as delegate-at-large. It is said of his incumbency in the United States senate that he was the first vice-president to make it a post of importance and influence. T. Y.

Resolutions were adopted by the Commercial Club to endeavor to induce the street car company to start a regular seven and one-half minute service on the local lines running from Eighth and Main streets oast to Twentieth and around the loop via the Pennsylvania depot. The principal reason given for this resolution was that it would be of great benefit to factory men in the north part of town.

While it was formerly possible to buy a perfectly good goat for $7, the same pet and parlor ornament now costs $12, but people keep on buying them. It is difficult to train the public Into the idea that the way to reduce prices is to do without the luxuries. To bring the price of goats down, let everybody try to get along without one. We will be the first to make this sacrifice. We have read an item to the effect that "few infants are being born in RusBia." This is interesting in view of the fact that we do not know what other sort of people can be born there. ELINOR, LOOK NO FURTHER. Elinor Glyn, the authur of "Three Weeks" and other novels, has just arrived on the Mauretania. She is here to find a new hero, or somebody in real life from whose personality she can draw a hero. She says: "He must be handsome, as chivalrous as Bayard, as strong as Samson and as ambitious as Napoleon." Elinor's search is over almost as soon as it started. She need look no further.

t THE LOSERS On the bosom of Salt River sluggishly their vessel floats, and their dismal dirges quiver on the air, in sobbing notes; we can hear their weary chorus: "Gloomy skies are bending o'er us, and there is no hope before us, for we've lost our William Goats." Ah, there is no joyous ditty, from the passengers or crew, and my eyes are wet with pity, as a lawn is wet with dew; it is sad to see them sailing, it is tough to hear them wailing, as they lean against the railing for a last and longing view. Up Salt River's weeping waters they must sail for years, perhaps, just because some tinhorn rotters voted for the other chaps; they must sail while autumn mellows, they must sail while winter bellows, knowing that the other fellows gather in the public snaps.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver i3 almost instantaneous. These little olivecolored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "logy"and "heavy." They "clear" c!Kied brain and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and 30c

klrals are the fine better-things which live beyond us but for which we willingly strive. Without these ideals we would shrivel in soul and lag in heart. It is better to have ideals, even though we reach but ;i very few, than to have no ideals at all. The or.e lacking in ideals is like a picture void of perspective. Ideals sculpture a man or woman to the world. Ideals are like the good company one keeps they raise a man above himself. And we must each of us daily reach out for the things which we so much lack. Ideals are carried mostly in the heart. And as our hearts warm and expand, we ourselves are caught in ihe atmosphere of our own goodness vl intention and are in turn self-lifted. And then others are uplifted as well for no outward act or inner fine feeling is ever lost upon itself. Like the millions of little coral animalcules which give up their lives for the greatness of that which they leave behind, so do one's ideals shape and lead and build those things which are higher and bigger than the mind which conceives them. Greater character has no man than he who is willing and anxious to give all that he has in living up to his ideals.

MR. H. H. HILL, Chemical Engineer of the Bureau ofMines, in discussing the future of gasoline says: "It is up to the refiners to extract more of petroleum's useful factors from the crude." This he says can be effected through efficient management and by improved methods of cracking and blending. Mr. Hill thus expresses the opinion which has dominated the policy of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) for many years and has enabled this Company to raise its efficiency peak year after year. v The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a leader in developing processes to increase the yield of gasoline from crude oil. The best known and most successful of its improvements is the Burton process, originated in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). . Speaking of the Burton process, Mr. Hill says that "since it wa first installed on s commercial scale it has produced approximately 40 million barrels of gasoline from heavy distillates, and has thus saved approximately 150 million barrels of crude that would have been necessary to produce an equivalent amount of gasoline. This vast saving has been accomplished without sacrificing quality. Red Crown, the motor gasoline, made and sold by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is acknowledged by petroleum chemists and other authorities to be the standard fuel for motor cars. It more than meets Government specifications, which require an initial of not mors than 140 degrees F; 20 percent off at 221 degrees; 50 percent off at 284 degrees; 90 percent off at 374 degrees ; and a dry point (complete vaporization) at not more than 437 degrees F. During the semi-annual test conducted in July 1920, the average for Red Crown Gasoline showed an initial of 102 degrees F; 20 percent off at 210; 50 percent off at 281; 90 percent off at 387; and a dry point of 427 degrees F. This shows an initial 38 degrees better than Government specifications, which means easy starting; 20 percent off at 11 degrees better than Government specifications; 50 percent off at 3 degrees better than Government specifications; and 90 percent off thirteen degrees higher than Government specifications, which is more than made up by the 10 degrees difference in dry point This proves that, notwithstanding the greatly increased quantity of gasoline which this Com pany is able to take from the crude, it has in no way sacrificed quality, and is another indication that the large scale operations of this Company have worked to the distinct advantage of every user of gasoline.
