and cultivation of a home garden this year. That incentive is lacking. Neither are we asked to
raise food that others, sharing our benevolence, rhay keep from starving this year. It seems probable that enough food will be raised this season to feed all the people of the world.
Home gardens are in order this year because millions are out of employment. A vacant lot offers a happy solution to the problem of obtain- ; ing fresh vegetables for the table and for can- ' ning purposes. Every vacant lot is an invitation "to plant a garden that will pay handsome divi- ; dends to the gardener. : The home garden idea is firmly rooted in : Richmond. Ever since the war, thousands of our ; citizens have planted vegetables in the spring for ' immediate use and to supply foodstuffs for the " winter months. They have found that a well cultivated garden pays. : Others have planted gardens for the recreational joy which they afforded. Many a man who has enough money to buy fresh vegetables has worn blisters on his hands and suffered aches in his back because he liked to work in the soil. Some,enterprising gardeners have their work well in hand. Unseasonable weather has pre- ; vented others from going ahead very fast. But : our garden experts tell us that it is still early j enough to put out a garden, j - : :.The Y. M. C. A. is doing a good work in cn- ! couraging boys to- become producers of f oodstuffs. The love of gardening inculcated in their j hearts will abide. By utilizing part of their idle ' time in vocational work, they will early learn the lesson of thrift and industry, and appreciate the ; returns of effort directed toward the accomj plishment of a specific purpose. Hundreds of our school children have their ! own gardens or are of great assistance to their parents in helping to cultivate the family garden. ! Young and old in Richmond enjoy watching seeds : germinate and mature into crops that save dol- " lars.
tem, which is in successful operation in many cities of the United States. The judgment of most students of municipal government strongly favors the city manager system, mainly because of its efficient operation and the business-like methods with which it administers public affairs. The city manager assumes that the city is a corporation in which the taxpayers are stockholders, and the manager is held accountable in just about the same manner as the general manager of a business concern is held responsible by the persons who own it. This centralizes authority and at the same time focuses responsibility. The city manager must get results. Inefficiency and bad manage
ment cannot flourish long, if -the city manager;
understands his business and is earnest in- his work. If it does exist, the voters and taxpayers know that the city manager lacks the qualifica-
! tions forhis job and should be discharged.
The proposed system assures a direct method whereby the wishes 6f the people are translated into effective municipal measures. The members of a corporation have no trouble in seeing that their policies are executed by the manager who directs the active affairs of the company. So also under the city manager form. The manager is the directing head who does the work. If he is incapable, incompetent, or unwilling to manage city affairs for the best interests of the community, he is asked to step down and out, and a successor takes his place.
When a Feller Needs a Friend
The Home Rule Organization For the purpose of making effective the petition of a large number of citizens asking for the ; adoption of a city manager form of government, friends of the movement have perfected an orJ ganization to accomplish this at the polls. 1 The voters have the alternative of perpetuating the present federal system of municipal .government or of adopting the city manager sys-
John Highley's Candidacy Not only Post C of the Travelers' Protective association, but the whole city, hopes that John Highley will be elected to be the next president of the Indiana division of the organization. He is one of our esteemed citizens, richly endowed with all the qualities necessary for the efficient execution of the details of the post which he seeks, and capable of advancing materially the interests of the T. P. A. in Indiana. Many years have passed since Post C has sought an office for one of its members. This year it is working hard for the election of Mr. Highley. Its members have organized their efforts in an effective manner and are leaving nothing to chance or a happy trend of affairs that will elevate Mr. Highley to the presidency. They are going to West Baden knowing that they have done all the preliminary work to acquaint the
other Indiana posts with Mr. Highley's' ability i
and the desire of Post C that he be honored. with the election. Other organizations in Richmond have shown a commendable interest in Mr. Highley's candidacy, coming to his support and pledging their help. It must be gratifying to Mr. Highley to see the unanimity of the support which has been accorded to him and to hear the assurances of co-operation which he is receiving from all sides. Richmond sincerely hopes that the work of his friends in his behalf will be crowned with success and that he will return home president of the Indiana division.

Dinner Stories
Mr. Hindleton appeared at hia neighbor's door one evening in a towering rage and uttering fierce threats against hia neighbor's dog. Pongo. Vainly the neighbor tried to explain that Pan go was only a puppy. "It belongs to Johnny." he said, "and it would break his heart if anything happened to it. I think. hopefully, "that Its manners will improve." "Manners!" repeated Hindleton. "I'm not complaining of its manners, but its nature. After it had jumped all over me it bit the back of my leg." "That's as far as it can reach." broke in Johnny in a wounded tone. "You don't expect a little pup like that to bite a big man like you on thu neck, do you?" Priscilla Dean tells of a little girl who was lost in a bargain sale rus1 at a Los Angeles department store. The child had become separated from her mother and was screaming lustily. "Why didn't you hang on to your mother's skirt in such a crowd? "Me couldn't reach it!" bawled the youngster.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" TALK We will all agree that talk is the cheapest thing in the world, unless we except the air. But at that, talk sometimes costs a great deal. I recently read a new story about Abraham Lincoln. It illustrates this Talk, as well as throwing new light on the marvelous understanding mind of Lincoln. It was during a law case. Lincoln's opponent had been talking to the jury for hours. He ranted and raved, abused, thundered and lightened and damned everybody and everything. The jury was tired and sleepy and worn out when Lincoln arose to reply. "Gentlemen of the jury," said Lincoln, "I have concluded to, adopt the tactics of my opponent and submit this case without argument!" The jury decided for Lincoln. Talk is a wonderful medium. But when it has been developed to an extraordinarily high value, it should be used sparingly. For brief talk is very powerful. In a discussion, the thinker says the least. I remember that when Marshal Field died, one of the papers gave a summing up of the valuable points that went to make up his great business career. One sentence has never left me. This is what it was: "He talked little." If you have anything important to say, say it! And the great gods of history and literature will make note of it. It will not be lost. Many people have things in their system that should come out and be recorded but more folks say things that should have been kept on the closet shelf. In his great play, "LightninV Frank Bacon, who takes the title role, replies to a boastful fellow who threatens all kinds of things: "Oh, no you won't." "How do you know I won't?" "Because you talk too much about it!" The silent man is the one who puzzles us. The talker's measure Is soon taken.
JAMES A. FARRELL Although James a Farrell, president o'f the U. S. Steel corporation, has twice been offered the chairmanship of the U. .S. Shipping board and twice has refused it, reports from
?3S ashington state JW . that President
Harding again has asked him to fill the post. Farrell was called upon, during the Wilson administration to direct operations of the board. Farrell is a "wizard of figures." He succeeded William E Corey as head of the steel eoronra-
iV tion after Corey
iameis parr.ell took the presidency of the steel corporation when "Charlie" Schwab quit. In 1910 Farrell astonisned the world by declaring that in seven years the company had increased its shipments overseas from 200,000 tons annually to 1,500.000 tons.

DECLARES HIS STOMACH WAS BLOWN UP LIKE A FOOTBALL
Before taking Dreco Evansville man soffered agony frcm constipation, biliousness, gastritis and dizzy
spells. Nothing disagrees with him i
now. "I have been a constant sufferer for a long, long time; the simpleet food fermented in my intestines, producing so much sour gas that I was bloated up like a football and felt too miserable to more," said Mr. M. L. Craig, a master cabinet maker, with the Karges Furniture Factory and resides at 109 Walker St., Evansville, Ind. "I had so much pain in my stomach and intestines that my flesh became sensitive to the touch. "My bowels never moved more
than twice a week unless I used an j
enema; l was listless, tired and sleepy with no energy and my limbs felt like they were made of lead. I would get so dizzy that I had to grasp whatever
was nearest me to keep from falling. J
I had such a dull headache that I couldn't think clearly and I know my work was not up to the standard. My nights were spent in fitful sleep and when morning came I got up feeling like I had been beaten, thoroughly exhausted and so tired I could hardly drag my feet around. "Why, I can't begin to tell you what Dreco has done for me I'm like a person re-created and this wonderful herbal remedy deserves all the credit. I sleep the night through and awaken brim full of energy, looking forward with pleasure to my work, all the heaviness, languor and pain gone. I can eat and enjoy whatever I fancy; bowels move just as Nature intended they should and I feel like I want to stop people in the street and tell them of this great medicine Dreco." All druggists now sell Dreco and it is being especially introduced in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's drug stores Advertisement.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
JOY OF LIFE It's pleasant to be living when springtime has the floor, and nature's kindly giving the best she has in store. The blue birds and the red their lays triumphant sing; I'm sorry for the dead ones who can't enjoy spring, lt'3 pleasant to be tramping along the dewey wold, at early morning, lamping the beauties manifold. Oh, there are times and seasons when woes my soul exhaust, and I have divers reasons for thinking life a frost: when winter winds are shaking the chimney and the door, and rheumatism's making each passing hour a bore; when autumn rainstorms drizzle as though they'd never quit, I feel
that life's a fizzle that ne'er will make!
a hit. But springtime makes me grateful that I am here to see, and any gent is hateful who doesn't prance with. me. The people leave their couches to greet the smiling morn, the kickers and the grouches, the sickly and forlorn; the hungry and the fed ones, they form a merry ring; I'm sorry for the dead ones who can't enjoy the spring. But maybe they are knowing a spring that never dies, where clouds are never blowing across the spangled skies; and maybe they are giving some thought to us, and say, "We're sorry for the living their spring must pass away!
