TH RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND. IND MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1921,

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM , y AND SUN-TELEGRAM Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at - the ' Post - Office . at i Richmond, Indiana, - aa Second-Class -Mail Matter. MKMHKIl OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of ail news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper, and also the local wt puMtshed herein. Al! rig-hts of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. The JMew York Philharmonic Orchestra The , appearance of the New York Philharmonic orchestra here on April 1 invites a larfee audience to hear the presentation of an excellent concert. The Women's club has sponsored the appearance of this organization, and naturally is very anxious to have a large audience greet the musicians. To assure the presence of many persons, the admission price has been placed at a very moderate sum.

"Only as our people support such magnificent attractions when offered at a popular pride will it induce other attractions to offer us their, special dates when passing through Richmond," said a citizen who has been prominently identified with almost every movement to bring high class entertainments to Richmond. "We have been particularly favored with a number of big artists jn years past and our reputation for furnishing an intelligent, appreciative audience is good, and the coming concert should be made one of the greatest successes," he added. His observation hits the nail squarely on the head. We cannot expect high grade attractions to come to Richmond if we do not patronize them. Every capacity house that greets a singer or a nationally known orchestra advertises our own appreciation of good music, andvat the same time is an inducement for other artists to visit this city. .News of this kind travels fast and is the best; recommendation which Richmond qan have in musical circles. Our reputation for furnishing appreciative audiences is an excellent one. We have another opportunity to solidify the good repute of the city .Tin musical circles in the forthcoming visit of the Philharmonic orchestra. The Women's clubdeserves to be supported by the public in this venture.

Co-operation and the Post Office One of the first general orders issued by Postmaster General Hays instructs postmasters to take an active interest in. the affairs of their communities and to join civic bodies and organizations, in order that they may acquire a knowledge of local conditions and disseminate information about the postal department. This is an excellent suggestion and in line with his determination to humanize the department. The best postmasters of Richmond have been those who were directly interested in the commercial and industrial affairs of the city, alert and watchful, and eager to give genuine service to the community. A postmaster is a servant of the public and the postal department is a medium of communi

cation established by the public for the conveni-j

ence of the public. The postal department cannot give satisfactory service if the postmasters hold themselves aloof from the public and make no efforts to learn whether the service is satisfactory.

They must study local, conditions if they are to give efficient service and keep the local office operating smoothly and for the express purpose of expediting the delivery and dispatch of mail. This information can be gained through various organizations and clubs and by the postmaster's participation in the affairs of his community. But there is another side to the question. If the post office is to show greater efficiency, the public must also do its share. Many letter writers seem to take it for granted that the postal clerks of a city know the street address of every resident, and so they negligently omit to write this information on the envelope. What happens? The letter goes to the desk of a special clerk whose duty it is to look up street addresses before it reaches the man who makes the delivery, the result being that the letter arrives at its destination late. Some business houses that occasionally have thousands of letters to go into the mails on a certain day, wait until the last minute and then dump the accumulation into the receiving department. If these letters had been deposited early and during the course of the day, the clerks would not have been swamped and service would have been better. Many addresses are so poorly written that clerks waste valuable time trying to decipher them. The public will be helping itself by 'observing the regulations and suggestions which the postal department makes as a result of many years of experience in handling mail.

When a Feller Needs a Friend

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

One household expert tells us that he family budget should always be kept In the writing desk in the library. The family budge, we presume, bhnuld bo kept in the cellar. A Missouri farmer has found $50,000 in his cornfield. Probably a little small- change that one of his hired men dropped. Pamoline Joe tells us of the struggles of a man who came to the great city at the tender age of fifteen. He was ambitious to hold a position of trust in-th state and now his ambition is realized. He is a trusty in Sing Sing. ; Out in California the other day some Indians, fearing arrest, buried one of their members hurriedly because he had smalpox. He kicked lustily on the inp of the casket, trying to get out, but no attention was paid to this. We hardly think this was right. Any man who kicks on the inside of a coffin should at least be given a chance 10 say what he has to say before being interred. If not nobody ever knows what message he has to give the world and it might be important. Now that the doctors Are to prescribe beer

It is almost sure That a lot of ner ailments Will come to light In the near future. And some guy in Pittsburgh Asks Foolish Question 87639: "Wfll the breweries now Issue almanacs?" They had jtir-t completed a tour of the Woolworth building; the tower had been explored; the gigantic machinery explained, and. as they left the elevator, one o .the party who had lived practically all iter life in New York asked : "On what floor is the ten-cent store?" ' A Methodist missionary has just started for the interior of the Malay penisula to give the natives their first glimpse of motion, pictures. That is on idea of civilizing the heathen, tut it' might be a wise plan to confine the prbrrani cf pictures entirely to the r.ifrws reels. , SAVhen a man takes a box of candy o;a bouquet home to his wife she sits around and worries for a week for fear he; has been up to something. One of the-.extreme pleasures of our presnt day life is to go out and try to horrow enough money- to pay the income tax. Wives are said to be. cheaper than ever in Turkey, but it's just the other wy here.

POSTMASTERS URGED TO CULTIVATE PUBLIC

--Postmaster-General WiU H. Hays has issued notice to the postmasters of aU the communities in Wayne county urging them to participate in all civic affairs, local chambers of commerce, boards of trade, commercial clubs, and any other community organizations. It is argued that by taking part in these organizations, excellent opportunities are afforded for the dissemination of general postal information essential to the proper conduct of an efficient postal service. The notice says postmasters should avail themselves of such opportunities to solicit the co-operation of civic organizations in securing the observance by the general public of the fundamental principles of mailing, the compliance with which on the part of postal patrons is necessary to the discharge of postal' duties to the entire satisfaction of the public. Mr. Hays is desirous that the postmasters emphasize the importance of the public addressing mail to the street and number; that firm letterheads should bear a street address, that mail should be deposited early and frequently during the day and not held until the close of the day; that return addresses on envelopes result in the prompt return of letters if undeliverable; that valuable mail mat

ter should be registered; that postal money orders should be used for remittances by mail 'instead of cash. It is further requested that postmasters should urge constructive criticism and invite legitimate complaints of inadequate service, losse? or irregularities, so that all these mat ters could be given prompt attention.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It." "Up"

SPRING AT HAND. The winter's nearly over, with

weather cold and drear, and soon the f

sxrass and clover around us will appear; and little new-hatched chickens will cheep to beat the dickens, and how my old blood quickens when spring is drawin? near! The rip cf frost is broken, the boys are playing ball and that's a vernal token that gratifies us all; there may be bluffs at snowing, and chill winds may be blowing before its final going, for winter has its gall. But gentle spring is coming with healing in her winds, and bees will soon be humming and handing us their stings; and romping lambs and fillies and mocking birds and lilies will cure tis of the willies and hence the poet, sings. When all the world is frozen, the poet, in his ire, bewails the trade he's chosen, and swats a halting lyre; but when the spring is waking, beyond all chance of faking, the bonds of winter breaking, he sings with Homer's fire. He sings of babbling streamlets where swim the trout and carp, of Luna's silver beamlets, of birds with voices sharp; he sings in soaring phrases about the woodland mazes, till some one, mad as blazes, comes up and busts his harp.

Joseph and Isaac went to hear Billy Sunday preach, and after the service, as they were going home, Joseph said: "Veil, Isaac, vat you fink of him?" "I don't like him," said Isaac. "Too much hell. It was hell, hell, hell all the time. I don't beieve there is any boll, Joseph." "No hell?" asked Joseph in amazement. "No," answered his friend. "Veil, then, Isaac," said Joseph, "if there is no hell, where is bizness gone ?"

A DEAD TOWN

A friend showed me over a dead town the other day. It was an extremely interesting sight. There was the station through which train after train passed daily. There was the silent hotel where scores were wont to meet in happy concord and then to bury themselves in sleep after the day of tears, work, love, laughter and service. House after house stood alone and deserted. I was told that the school building was once filled w ith little children and that the streets were spotted with moving folks in cars and carriages. And nice gardens gave their fragrance in flowers and useful vegetation there. I walked out upon the porch of one of the houses in which there was once life and activity. To all appearances, a thriving village was still in its youth. But not a soul was to be seen. The streets were as idle as the trees which looked down upon them, sad and lonely. It was hard to understand how such a transformation cou,ld come about, for the spot where the town stood so stricken was a most beautiful one. And so I inquired. I was told that one man was largely responsible. He laid out the town, promoted it, even beautified it and then killed it by his dishonest methods and distasteful personality. He put poison into the clear waters of an otherwise happy stream. And so people took up their things and moved away leaving but the shell of happiness to tell of the past. There is a most profound lesson to be drawn from the story of this dead town. There can be no growth excepting through co-operation, mutual interest, and trust. We are ourselves dead, when we shut out the life of the world when we fail to work in harmony with the many upbuilding processes about us. We may be very big but the things about us are so much bigger!

A noted authority says that a few drops of "Outgro" upon the skin surrounding the ingrowing nail reduces inflammation and pain and so toughens the tender, sensitive skin underneath the toe nail, that it can not penetrate the flesh, and the nail turns naturally outward almost over night.
