had a high economic value for most of them.

School Children's Gardens

The fact that 1,350 school children of Richmond cultivated gardens last season shows that the value of putting back yards and vacant lots to productive work has not been overlooked here. The rapid influx of rural dwellers to the cities, which has been noted with alarm recently, makes it highly valuable for urban dwellers to raise part of the food they consume, for, when farm labor becomes scarce, a reduction in the number of acres cultivated by the farmers is bound to follow. We rapidly have become a nation of consumers and have failed to realize that increased production on our farms is necessary to support the thousands who have been lured to the cities by the promise of high wages and short hours. If the present drift of the population to the cities keeps up, the time is not far distant when the farmer will be unable to raise enough food to go around. The idea of making food producers out of the children by means of the home garden in fundamentally sound. The Red Cross sponsored the movement here last year and enabled the schools to carry on this educational work with success. Many residents of Richmond have cultivated gardens for many years, partly for the food products that went on the table or in the storage bin, and partly for the recreation which it afforded.

It is safe to assert, however, that the number of persons having gardens solely for the pleasure they derived from the work was small in comparison with the number that sought to raise crops for their table, so that the home garden

The depressing effect on the farmer of the drop in prices has resulted in the presentation of a number of plans to safeguard his interests and to prevent national suffering. E. T. Meredith, secretary of agriculture, has come forward with the suggestion that some method of storage be devised whereby farm products could be carried over from a season of plenty to seasons when they are actually needed. His statement meets with the following re

ception from the Chicago Tribune: If the present 6lump In prices of staple farm products la coating the farmers money, as it Is, and If by next year we have poor crop By as we may, both farmers and the city dwellers will lose between the seasons. It is obvious

that a method of equalizing supply and demand to cover

both seasons would be mutually profitable. In part, that Is what the farmers want. They eeek easier credits to help them hold over surplus products until a time of

greater demand. But if extended too freely to the farm'

era such credits axe likely to be withheld from other es

sential lines.

What seems to us a more practical method of relief is In improved storage facilities and a growing . habit of

storage. Just as we now store the spring crop of eggs

for use In winter when there are few eggs laid, we ought

to store .many food products, both In public storehouses

and privately. Forehanded and foresighted fanners can arrange to do this on their farms. City dwellers can do it to a limited extent in their homes. Such essentials as

flour, bant, bacon, canned goods, and dry groceries of all kinds can be stored in the home. Flat dwellers, of course,

are limited as to space, but a national habit of storage

would eventually provide ever for them. This would greatly relieve the difficulties and hard

ships of seasonal production. It would develop a reservoir of food which would equalize the flow from season to season. Seasonal occupation has long been the curse of the industrial world, but it is no more a curse than is

seasonable supply.

To relieve the nation and the individual of many of

the most unpleasant and, at times, disastrous ups and downs of life, both seasonal occupation and seasonable supply should be reduced. They can be reduced below any real danger point If the public will really undertake the task. It requires chiefly a little intelligence and a willingness and ability to sacrifice today's profit for tomorrow's safety. Those who have neither the intelligence nor the willingness cannot reasonably expect the others to carry them over their seasonable difficulties.

Answers to Questions

WOMAN READER What is eiderdown and where does it coca from?

Eiderdown, the softest and most

valuable down that exists, is the pro

duct of the eider duck, which robs its own breast of feathers in order to pro

vide a soft bed for its young. The

fowlers seek the down in he almost inaccessible rocks of the coast of Ireland, Scotland, the Faro Islands, Lap

land, Nova embla and Spitzbergen.

MRS. J. B. -When and how did the title of reverend come into use? "Reverend," & term .of respect and courtesy now used as the usual prefix to the names of clergymen, did not always belong to the clergy. In the fifteenth century It came Into use as a general term and it was not limited to any one denomination. An attempt was made at one time to restrict the application in England to clergymen of the Church of England, but the Privy Council of Great Britain decided in 1876 that it was not ymited to any one denomination.

Dinner Stories

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

YOUR "BOSS" AND YOU The year is coming to a close, and you who are in business are thinking and speculating on what the New Year is going to hold in store for you. Manv of you are going to "make a change" and many of you will be askrd to make a change. The idea of co-operation is still very young indeed, and many there are who will be first are now last and some last who are now first

You who have counted the time of your employer as so many minutes and hours to get through with, are going to find that you are the one who has ost. And no matter where yon go or what you do, you will remain the poorer for the loss. Promptness, loyalty, and a sense ot conscientious service is far more appreciated than ever was brilliance or unusual originality. Every honest "boss" appreciates the timple, everyday virtues of business in those whom he employs, and in nine cases out of ten regulates his decisions in regard to salary and advancements in proportion to their observance. Your "boss" tries to be fair and considerate. Do you? Have you? Always remember that you are in large measure a part of his thought and his thought a part of you. So that what was once said of the chain that it was no stronger than its weakest link applies quite as truly to an organization. Have ycu ever felt that the chain might break at your link? The large part of our lives are spent in offices, stores and on railroad trains in the interest of some "boss." In the

truest sense, we are all employes, the grain crop in two. "I get my grain

working for some one higher up.

To do your best is to serve yourself most.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

COULD NOT STOOP OR BEND OVER FOR

HE GOT SO DIZZY Richmond Man Had a LazyLiver; iKdneys So Weak Often Had to Get Up Several Times During the Night; Bowels Were Constipated. He Now Declares All These Troubles Have Been Overcome Since Taking the Great Herb Remedy, Dreco. "Sometimes I'd get so dizzy that I could not stoop or bend over for I'd feel like I was going to fall," said Mr. Tobias Huffman, living at 423 N. 16th St., Richmond, Ind. "The pains in my back and limbs vcro terrible, which I knew came from my kidneys and some nights I'd be up five and six times. My muscles had that dull, twitching, aching feeling almost constantly. My nerves were so unsteady I could not sleep to do any Kood and some nights I'd get out of bod and sit' up. "My appetite failed me and I became weakened and was losing my vitality. I became sensitive and oftentimes irritable. My bowels were badly i onstipated so that I had to take medicine for them most every night. "I am surprised at my own self, the way I feel these days. Why, I'm feeling years younger and full of energy and ambition. The Dreco has i ure done me lots of good. All these nches and rains are gone; my liver has been cleaned off nicely. My kidneys strengthened so that I sleep all night without getting up once. My bowels move regular without the aid of medicine as before. My nerves are quieted; have a fine appetite and everything seems to agree with me. I haven't had a dizzy spell since I took Dreco." Dreco is sold by all progressive drugpists throughout the country and is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's seven drug stores. Advertisement.

The way they pass everything along to the Danes reminds me of the chicken neck at Bill Dan'el Starcher's house on Half Moon Mountain. "Whenever they had a chicken, Ma Starcher carved. When she came to the neck she held a buebiscite to see who got it. "Do you want it ,Sal?" "No." "Do you, Jeff?" "No." "Do vou want the neck, Buster?" Naw" "Well," says Ma, "I don't want it. Pap, you'll have to eat it." They all had a chance to vote, except Pap. Their negative put it onto him and he positively had to eat it. What is wrong with education? President Butler's report indicates that it is all wrong. He has lost faith in it entirely. He is like Aleck Stimmens, who put his faith in Providence. His neighbor's timber was destroyed by fire. But Alec had a water mill and the river saved it. "Providence favors us,"

he told his wife. Then the blight cut

through mill toll, Aleck said, "so Providence has again favored us." Later that summer the corn Crop was burning up and the farmers prayed for rain. The rain came and saved the corn, but it washed Aleck's mill into the river. When Aleck saw his mill was gone he went to his wife weeping: "Taking it up one side and down the other," ho complained, "there is just about as much harm in Providence -as there is good." Dr. Butler is now ready to believe that taking it up one side and down the other, there is just about as much harm in education as there is good.

Discovers Old Copy of Paper in Picture Frame C. W. Snodgrass discovered a copy of the Shelbyville Democrat of Dec. 7, 1897, in a picture which he was dismantling to repair the frame. W. S. Ray, its editor, said he believed that President McKinley's message to congress on the financial question did not follow the lines laid down by the St. LouiB convention as closely as followers of the gold standard might have expected and that it was weak on the Cuban question. Prices of hogs were quoted at $3.20; butcher's cattle, $4.25; wheat 88 cents, corn 22, and oats 16.

Little Jimmy, having been puntehod for naughtiness, started mumbling to himself. "What are you doing now?" asked his mother. "Fse swearing," said the youngster, "but I'se chewin' it up so God won't hear me."

"Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "do you remember how you laughed at me because there were some things I didn't understand about the ball game?" "Yes." "Well, after reading some of the recent news, I want to ask you, as man to woman, weren't there some things about that game that you did not understand, either?"

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, suggested that a stock company be formed within the club for the purpose of building homes for working men, at the lowest possible figure. Mr. Jordan's plan was to have probably two hundred homes constructed in different parts of the city, ransicg in cost from $800 to $1,200, and that they be sold to the laboring man at as near cost as possible, with a. small rate of interest. Frances Starr appeared at the Gennett theater in "The Easiest Way." A good sized audience was present to witness the performance.
