Excellent Showing by Richmond Conference Not only members of the Methodist church, but also members of other denominations, are taking a pardonable amount of pride in the excellent record which the Richmond district has made in that denomination leadership in the North Indiana conference as well as in the other conferences ' which constitute the Indianapolis area. The Wayne county churches of the conference contributed valiantly toward the excel
lence of their district, perhaps, leading other
counties.
The report of the area conference recently
conducted at Indianapolis shows that Indiana is
one of the largest Methodist centers in the world,
taken on a per capita basis. The property of the denomination in Indiana is valued at $4,000,000,
and the subscribers to the denominational paper
published at Cincinnati are in excess of the number of readers in Ohio. All this indicates that the members of the laity are aggressively and actively interested in the affairs of their denomination a highly commendable state of affairs, for the real worth of church activity is the spiritual force which impels its adherents to exemplify their faith in works of benevolence, Christian education, and missions. The Richmond churches of the denomination receive the co-operative support of their members, which is demonstrated in their zeal in entering into the forward movements of the body and in contributing more than their share toward the realization of the broader aims of the denomination, without impairing in the least the purely r local activities of the congregations. They have found that interest in purely local affairs is augmented and animated in direct proportion to the zeal which is displayed in the broader work of the denomination, a principle of church activity that is as old as the church itself.
Completes Another Successful Year's Activity The name of Richmond carries with it distinction and good renown wherever you go. Its reputation has been advertised by its type of citizenship, its merchandising facilities, its churches, its schools, its manufactured products, its flower culture, its clean environment, its men
and women who have gained renown and fame, its art and music No one can successfully detract from its good name or denounce its reputation as an ideal business, social, industrial, educational, religious and cultured community without running squarely into the face of incontrovertible facts. The annual dinner of the Richmond Art association, which is to be held next week, again emphasizes one of the features of our community life which has given us national reputation. The Art association, founded many years ago for the purpose of studying and popularizing an appreciation of artistic work, has done a commendable work for the community.
The time and thought which the members of
the association have given to art culture is a vicarious investment of effort for the public
good. No one can view the work of this organ
ization without finding that it has earned divi
dends.
The effort which they have made in educating
the public in art matters, in providing displays
of the work of Indiana artists and that of other
painters of this country is an investment for the
betterment of the city of Richmond. We will
venture that they themselves take a vast amount
of satisfaction in reviewing their achievements
and in planning for the future. The citizenship appreciates the unselfish de
votion of the Art association in its many-sided work of fostering and developing this phase of the community life something for which we are
envied all over the United States.
Corn Growers Organize
Wayne county farmers have organized to in
crease the yield of corn by participation in the corn growing contests of Hoosierdom, and also to encourage their sons to learn improved methods of growing this crop. The latter feature of the organization has an educational appeal of great importance. The smallness of the profit which the farmer obtains from a crop, added to the hazard of weather with which he must always contend, makes it imperative for him to acquaint himself with the latest methods developed in the agricultural colleges to offset these disadvantages. By participation in an organization which has for its purpose the harvesting of greater crops, and by enlisting the interest of his sons when they are young and eager to learn advanced methods, the corn grower of Wayne county is assuring for himself both a knowledge of the latest scientific data and the co-operation of the next generation which will till his soil and carry forward his work. Every corn grower of the county should affiliate himself with the organization. Its purposes are wholly educational and beneficial to the members.
How To Start the Day Wrong
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
. i THE SLEUTH In the best detective fiction there's a superman Fubhme, who, -wjth little iuss or friction, follows up the threads of crime. When the city cops are baffled, comes old Sherlock to the place, leads the guilty to the scaffold, and remarks, "A simple ca?e!" Oh, the cop? are represented as a bonehead bunch of yaks, men whose domes could not be dented with a clever or an ax. But the cops do things surprising, putting guilty gents in jails, though they get no advertising in the Sherlock kind of tales. Crimes of mystery unending shock the virtuous and true, and we see the fly cops wending, following some feeble clue; and no Watson with them capers till thfir weary quest is done, writing up for books and papers stories of the triumphs won. By biographers forsaken, sleuths to forth to earn their pay, and tbey oft bring home the bacon in their drab, official way. Not by making brilliant dashes through deduction's puzzling maze, not by analyzing ashes do they pinch the erring jays. Just tv stern and patient plodding, just by using honest brains, they put down the base marauding of the sinful jakes and jane3.

Dear Roy A few weeks ago you stated that you were thinking of adopting a buffalo. Last Sunday 1 visited the zoo and saw a collection of yak which an obliging sign told me are thoroughly domesticated In Tibet. At once I thought of you! With what envy'would you stir the hearts of your neighboring poodletuggers! And while the yak weighs a pound or two less than the buffalo, I think this slight shortcoming might be overlooked when counting the joy brought through a yak's services as teawagon trundler and similar domestic duties of the daintier class. It might be that Mr. Yak could be taught to .yawn just as the dishes were ready for drying.

Dinner Stories
A tourist while "doing" California noticed a long shanty which displayed the following sign: "Teeth yanked without a twinge." As he happened to be suffering from toothache he entered the shanty and asked the dentist: "Do yon extract teeth without giving pain?" "Waal. I reckon so, stranger." "All right: pull this one out," indicating the offending molar. The dentist wjii6tled and In walked his assistant armed with a club. "Now. pard," quoth the "dentist," "stun him."

"TREE TRAVELING" Harper's, the well-known publishing house, used to have a horse which supplied the motive power for some of the old-time machinery. Day after day this animal would walk 'round and 'round a post, manipulating a sort of windlass device, peacefully nodding his head and lazily flickinz off flies with his tail. There came a time when the horse was supplanted by modern engineering; and the owner, whose heart was as big as his purse was full, turned him loose in a pasture, there to spend the winter of his life in tranquillity and comfort, amid plenty of -long greengrass, and soothing restful idleness. And then happened a very amazing thing. Instead of gratefully passing his declining years in browsing and undisturbed calm, the simple beast picked out a tree in his field, and day after day did nothing but walk 'round and 'round it during the usual working hours of the day, stopping only as he had done before, at noon, for the lunch. At latest accounts he was still at it, and today maybe his spirit or his ghost is. Which illustrates the reason why most of us do most things most everywhere. It is that we always have done them, have got the habit, and will not or cannot change. We move in the line of least resistance, which is the line of habit, whether it is eating a heavy breakfast, spending a billion or more dollars a year on battleships, devouring a package of "coffin-nails" a day, voting for
the "my-father-voted-for-it" party, wearing tight collars, shoes and hats, or
ratline: against "investigating and doing nothing about most everything. That is one reason why the man who would improve us, reform us or do anything else to us that necessitates even the slightest departure from our daily routine is thanked for his pains with torrents of suspicion, abuse and, nine times out of ten, mudslinging; these have always been the meed of him who would make us quit traveling 'round the tree. However, there is one comforting thought, and this is, that while It would seem that every step of progress needs must be cemented in tears, a certain amount of "tree traveling" is necessary to well-ordered and efficient living. Certain things must be done out of habit if they are to be done satisfactorily. If we had to stop and tbink every time we wanted to do anything, we would have no time at al! to do anything worth while. So the "trees' courtesy, concentration, ambition, thoroughness, promptness, loyalty, cheerfulness, decency and others such are wonder trees to travel 'round. And when you get to the point where this kind of "traveling" has become an ineradicable habit, depend upon it you will be there when your "trees" give shade, and bear plenty of rich, ripe fruit.
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It." -Up'' SALVATION THROUGH HUMILIATION Most of us are discoverers through our blunders. We often have contracted vision. To our enthusiasm we start with spurts only to stumble and learn that our feet have not tracked with our mind. Happily for the man or woman who stops long enough to think, the course of life may be changed early in its day. Salvation may come through humiliation! Rebuffs, opposition, insults even are often necessary to wake one up. Many a man has been able to look back to the time when he was literally "kicked out" to fight his own way the best he could soon to find out that he had powers within him of which he previously was unaware. The drowning man thinks of but one thing how can I keep above water? Many a boy has learned to swim by thinking that he might drown if he didn't I know of a very successful man who dates his business growth from the day that he refused to be abused by his "boss". It was only after a series of insults at her very gates, by an allied group of nations, that Japan was made to break her ignorant Isolation and within fifty years to take her place among the most progressive nations of the world. Every one of us must be beaten at some time or other that we may rise! There are far raster catastrophes fn this world than to be humiliated and few experiences abler to work out the transformation of a man. I have an idea that Job felt humiliated indeed with his body of boils but he heroically bore them so that "the patience of Job" has come down through the centuries as a lesson to us all. Disraeli's first attempt at speaking in the House of Commons was hooted and Jeered but he came back, the peer of them all, as Prime Minister! The only humiliation that is disgraceful is not to be somebody not to do some one thing.
and Juno Februata, it was customary for each Roman youth to draw from a receptacle the name of one of the city's -maidens, who thereupon became his sweetheart When Christianity overwhelmed paganism, the Church took over this pretty custom, but grafted upon it a radical change. The name was drawn by both youths and maidens, but it was not that of a fellow being, to be admired, but of one of the 6&ints, who was to become a special object of worship the ensuing year. The old date of Lupercalia remained, but under these modifications the drawing of patron saints became associated with St. Valentine, for it was on Feb- 14 that the choice was determined. Later the name of women were again substituted for the names of saints.. Another important tradition sprang up and helped to perpetuate the cusom. It was said that on this same day the birds first chose

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism
Mr. James H. Allen Buffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this Idea in mind be consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. Te freely gave his discovery to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. A. G. Luken & Co.. 3 Quigley's Drug Stores 3 and Yes and Now Drug Co. hare been appointed agents for Allenrhu in this ricinlty with the understanding that they will freely return the purchase money on the first two bottles to all who state they received no benefit.
