All they ask for is a fair return on their investment and labor. , The Indianapolis meeting showed no traces of

radicalism ; neither was it marked by condemna?

tory addresses and utterances. Just the opposite is apparent from the reports that have been received. It was a convention composed of men who had a grievance and sought a remedy in an American manner. No one can accuse the farmer of being a profiteer. Not long ago many believed that he was receiving outrageously high prices for his crops, but when he showed his cost figures his critics were forced to conclude that instead of making Wg returns he was receiving only a small return on his investment. An excellent example of conditions that are costing the farmer millions of dollars is the drop in the price of wheat. Importation of thousands or bushels from Canada, much of which probably will be sold for export, has driven the price down to a point which is below the cost of production. Farmers and their leaders, including Gov. Allen of Kansas, who has demanded an investigation of wheat speculation, believe that the low price

of wheat is an artificial one. They also demand the restoration of a tariff on wheat so that the American farmer will be protected as is the manufacturer. The farmer is demanding nothing unreasonable, but is insisting that his future welfare and the very foundation of agriculture depends upon remedial measures that will assure him fair prices. He believes that there is too much difference between the price he receives and that which the ultimate consumer pays a condition over which neither he nor the consumer has any control. He believes that the element of speculation plays too great a part in the marketing of the products of the farm, and that this condition is harmful both to him and to the consumer. He is seeking contentment in his farm home, so that his sons and daughters will not forsake the homeplace, but remain there to help produce abundant crops, sold at fair prices, on a margin that will enable the producer to look upon his

enterprise as a profitable one. No one can criticise this program. If the boys stay on the farm because it is just as profitable to cultivate acres of land as it is to conduct a grocery store, the whole country wfll reap the benefit. But this condition will not be attained if the farmer is forced to see other men, through speculation and an unscientific system of distribution, reap where they have not sown.

Studying Home, Rule The Kiwanis and Rotary clubs are on the right track in their consideration of the home rule measure. Before the citizenship can act in

telligently on t;his proposition, it must have information. The best way to obtain this knowl. edge is from the utterances of men who are authorities on the topic or havehad experience with the workings of the commission or managerial form of government. The underlying principles of the two systems, if rightly understood, will conclusively prove their superiority over the existing system, and it will not take the citizenship long to make, up its mind that either is infinitely preferable to the present regime. Conditions in our own municipal system are so thoroughly demoralized that most of us are willing to go to any extreme to obtain betterment. But this change in the form of municipal government can come only by way of legislative enactment. Indiana cities will be powerless to change their municipal government if the state legislature does not pass a bill giving to them the right to make the change, if so they elect. The way to change lies through the legislature. To obtain action there, it is necessary that a measure be introduced, that it be reported out of committee, that it be passed by the two houses, and receive the signature of the governor. It is obvious that only an excellent lawis wanted bv the cities which desire a change. Good

provisions cannot be written into the bill if the makers do not understand their subject thoroughly and are acquainted with the weaknesses of similar measures that have been enacted but

have not produced the desired results. It, is also clear that politicians who are interested in the preservation of their machines will not look favorably upon a measure that will take municipal government out of their hands. That they will try to obstruct this legislation, perhaps even try to destroy its effectiveness by amendments, is to be expected. Consequently, an alert public opinion must be created at once to support the effort that is to be made in the general assembly. This senti-

I ment will be the result of meetings such as the ! Kiwanis and Rotary clubs are planning to hold, i It is a step in the right direction.

Answers to Questions

MRS. T. D. What la the religion of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, physician to the president? Episcopalian. PUPIL. How did the term "Pilgrim" arise? Pilgrims, the name applied to the liberty seekers who founded Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts in 1620, grew out of an expression used by Gov. William Bradford. He often referred to the colonists as "pilgrims and strangers upon the earth." This band did not belong to the Puritans, aVls usually said, but

to a sect which grew out of Puritanism, whose members were called Separlsts because they separated from the Church of England. The finst church of Separatists was at Gainsborough, England; the second grew up at Scrooby. v The Separatists were driven out of England by persecution and established themselves first at Amsterdam and then at Leydon, in Holland. J. F. R. Were the Irish exempt from conscription in Great Brirtain during the war, and why? They were because the government apparently feared to accentuate the disturbed condition in Ireland.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

UNEXPLAINED. A man with sldoboards may be wise, a shining light to other guys, but ten men out of nine or eight wiu view him with a deathless hate, and wonder why he'll thus behave when twenty cents will buy a shave. And where's the man who can explain why sideboards don't seem safe and sane? Why do they matte most men see red, and yearn to punch the wearer's head? The man

who leads a , dog around may be a scholar most profound, may be endowed with virtues fine, equipped in any crowd to shine. But men who sea him will remark, "He ought to do that after dark; a man should be ashamed, by Jing. to lead a bow-wow with a string when there are chores that should be done ere yet the night ob ecure the sun." I cannot tell the reason why, and yet we ail detest the

guy. who travels parasang and verst. and leads his living wienewurst. The man's who's free with good advice may have a nature sweet and nice; sincerity may mark his rede when he would council, guide and plead, bat still he keeps us seeing red; we'd bounce a brick upon his head. We art a cranky bunch, say I; we loathe and love, and don't know why.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams I

i ON STAYING AROUND Friction is what wears out things end people. Staying in one place too long always results in wear whether the staying be done by a piece of metal or a human being. We are happiest with those whom we do not see too often or associate vith too intimately, all the time. Even the mother is refreshed by separation from the ones she loves most of all. Many people stay at one Job too long. They rust out more than they wear out. What they need is change and newness of work. Life has to it much of crispness and zest and great pull of interest where there is a moving about not too much staying around. There can easily be too much of a good thing. We should all learn to walk along in concert. In harmony and co-operation do people move things and thus rrepare everything in general for the pood of all. Our very bodies are dimply units. And so is the big world and all that it represents. The child gets tired playing at its favorite game too long. It tosses away its playthings and seeks something new. Try not to stay around anywhere too long!

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Charles W. Jordan was elected vicepresident of the Federated Commercial clubs of Indiana. He was secretary of the local Commercial club at the time of hi-5 election. The club passed a resolution favoring th enactment of a law by the legislature, which would permit any city in the state which desires to do so, to es tablish commission government. Timothy Nicholson made a talk on marriage and divorce laws and the statutes relating to the desertion or wives and children, at the meeting of the Council of Charities in the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Nicholson said that there must be an improvement in the divorce laws. Armed with a long, vicious looking razor an Italian terrorized the Italian quarter of Riven-iew. He took a stand on a vacant lot at the corner of North Twelfth and G streets and dared anyone to come onto it. The man was partly intoxicated. He was arrested by Patrolman Vogelsong. A line of $1 and costs for drunkenness and $5 and costs for carrying concealed weapons, was imposed upon him in city court.

Reliable Information

All American women know of the great success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in restoring to health women who suffered from ailments peculiar to their sex, yet there are some who are skeptical and do not realize that all that is claimed for it is absolutely true if they did, our laboratory would not be half large enough to supply the demand, though today it is the largest in the country used for the manufacture of one particular medicine. The Facts contained in the following two letters should prove of benefit to many women :

Buffalo, N. Y. " I suffered with organic inflammation and displacement. When lifting I had such pain and bearing down that I was not

able to stand up, and it hurt me to walk or go up or down stairs. I was going to a doctor without any results and ho said the safest thing would be to have an operation. I met a lady who told me she had three operations and was not well until she took Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I felt relief after takiDg two bottles of Vegetable Compound and I kept on with it until I was cured. X always 1186 Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Pills and they are fine. Everything used to turn sour on my stomach and the Liver Pills relieved that." Mrs. A. Kogkrs, 693 Fargo Avenue. Buffalo, N. Y.

Sacramento, Caiif. "I had organic trouble and had such terrible pain and swelling in the lower part of my side that I could not stand on my feet or even let the bed clothes touch my side. I gave up my work thinking I would not be able to go back for months. My mother advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as it had saved her life at one time, and it put me in a wonderful condition in a couple of weeks, so I can keep on working. I work in a department store and have to stand on my feet all day and I do not have any more pains. I surely recommend your Vegetable Compound to all my friends and you may use these facts as a testimonial." Bertha J. PAK&sa, 3320 31 SU Sacramento, Calif.

Dinner Stories

Little Anna attends public school and had just passed her eighth birthday. A few days ago her teacher asked her how much 2 and 2 made and she got a little confused in her answer. The teacher thereupon dropped two cents on the floor and told Anna to pick them up. The teacher then asked: "How many have you now?" Anna replied: "Two." "Now imagine there are two more on the floor," said the teacher, at the same time requesting Anna to go through the motion of picking up the imaginary pennies. "What have you now?" asked the school ma'am. Anna looked at her tiny fingers. "Dust!" she replied. Wealth had carried Mrs. Nurich into exalted circles, of which she had

hardly dared even to dream. At a

big dinner party she was being shown the glories of an ancestral mansion by her hostess, and when passing along a corridor the latter lady paused before a marble bust. "Oo's that of?" asked Mrs. Nurich, with an air of great interest. "That is Marcus Au-

I isten, Lester, and you shall hear: There are three ways to roll a cigarette wet it with your tongue, use paste, or crimp it. But Spur is the only cigarette note that word only that has the crimped seam. No moisture as when you roll a cigarette no paste as used by other makers. Crimping makes Spur draw easier, burn slower, taste better. Looking at

a Spur will give you the idea and smoking one will give you the result. And of course everybody knows tnat Spurs are blended from choice Turkish, fine Burley and other homegrown tobaccos. That's where Spur's good old tobacco taste comes from. There's a lot more to be said but write it .yourself after you've enjoyed twenty Spurs from the neat'looking brown and silver package.
