THE PUBLIC.
Something for Sharks in All Lines
of Business to Psey
Upon.

"You must remember" said the man
who was arguing with great volubility and
self-approval, that we owe duty to the
public"
"Who is the pubic?" inquired Mr.. Bly,
kns, abruptly.
"Why-erI1the, masses, you know; the
general populace."
mo" said Mr.. Blykins, with emphasis,
"you got the wrong idea. The public is
something to be roped in; to be gouged; to
be walked over. To the sugar trust the pub
lie is a great congregation of confectionery
consumers. To the beef trust the public 10
a vast menagerie of carnvorous bipeds. To
the politician it is collection Of -arsons
who have influence at elections; to the the
atrical manager, crowd of people in front
of the box Office eager to get rid Of money;
to the street car conductor, lot OF creatures
who ought to be made to step lively"
you think the public gets imposed upon
eyes. 1t doesn't deserve any better, and
retribution is always waiting. The man
who imposes on the public in one respect
lapses back into the general outfit in some
thing else and is imposed on in his turn.
It's a heartless business all the way
through. One great and elaborate schems
of imposition. What people ought to do il.
to hold primaries in all parts of the civilized
world and send delegates to The Hague te
see if they can't discuss something like a
disarmament scheme by which the people
of this earth can be persuaded to quit i'm.

Wet land should be drained, as it may
be the most fertile on the farm. BY the
use of drain tile there will be no un-
slightly open bitches, and the field can
be cultivated as easily as any other. If
the land is not very wet the cost of
drainage will be but little, and such
land will be just as valuable for pas
ture as before, with the added advan-
tage of being adapted to greater va
riety of grasses than formerly. 1t can
then also come under the regular crop
rotation. If plot has been too wet
to use for ordinary crops it will also be
too wet for grass some years, and when
drained it will produce green food
earlier in spring and later in the fall.

4 Parcel of Puns That Were Worried

"What was that
"I am here, gentlemen" he said, "as the
result of moment of abstraction"
b The pun fell with dull, sickening thud.
But the man who smoked stogies came to
the front again.
Like the incendiary, eh? There is some
similarity. He was there because of his
habit of making light of things"
The blossomy man refused to be silent.
Bat did you hear about the forger?"
"No. Why?
"He was there on account of simple de-
sire to make a name for himself"
The man with the stogie meditated.
THAT reminds me of the burglar" he
casually remarked. There was a three min
ate stage wait and the man who liked apple
jack gave way to curiosity.

GAS he said, through nothing but taking
advantage of an opening which offered IN a
large mercantile establishment"

Teach the Lambs to Feed.

The little lamb should be taught to
eat as soon as possible, by keeping feed
in trough in pen near by, so ar
ranged that the lambs can 60 in and
out at will. This should be kept up un-
til the eve can go through the same
hole that the lamb does, even feeding
the lambs after the sheep go on grass.
If ever a sheep is to have short rations,
don't let it be during the first three
months of its life. The same might be
said of any other kind of stock. Dock
the lambs and castrate the ram lambs
when about two weeks old.-Farmers'

Ono of the Grandest Offers Ever Made.

One of the Grandest Offers Ever Made.
The first five persons procuring the
Endless Chain Starch Book from their
grocer will each obtain one large 10c
package of Red Cross" starch, one large
1oc package of "HUBINGER'S BEST"
starch, two Shakespeare pictures,
printed in twelve beautiful colors, as
natural as life, or one Twentieth Cen
tury Girl Calendar, the finest of its kind
ever printed, all absolutely free. All 9TH

ing given away. This offer is only made
for a short time to further introduce
the famous RED CROSS" starch, and
the celebrated "HUBINGER'S BEST
cold-water starch. "RED CROSS" laun-
dry starch is something entirely new,
and without doubt the greatest inven-
tion of the Twentieth Century. 1t has
no equal, and surpasses all others. 1t
has won for itself praise from all parts
of the United States. 1t has super
seded everything heretofore used, or
known to science in the laundry art.
1t is made from wheat, rice and corn,
and is chemically prepared upon scien-
tific principles, by j. c. Hubinger, an
expert in the laundry profession, who
has had 25 years of practical experience
in fancy laundering, and who is the
first successful and original inventor

States. If you would have the best, ask
for RED CROSS" and "HUBINGER'S
BEST" which are the finest starches
on the market to-day. The jobbing
houses all handle it, the retail grocer
has it on his shelves, you find it in all
the homes, while the careful house
wife has adorned the walls of the home
with the beautiful Shakespeare pic
lures, which are being given away in
introducing "RED CROSS and "HU-
! BINGER'S BEST" starch.

OPPOSE A GERMAN DAY
SOCIAL TURNVEREIN DECLINES TO
TAKE PART IN THE AFFAIR.
Believes 1t Is Un-Ame rican-Other So
cieties VIII Celebrate on Sept.
3, However.

A number of the German societies OF the
city are preparing to celebrate German day
on Sept. g. and meeting in the interests
of the event was held las. night at Maen-
nerchor Hall. For several years German
day has been a noted event in many cities
but this will be the first celebration of the
kind in Indianapolis.
The Social Turnverein, of the German
House. has declined to take part in the
celebration, and at a meeting last night a
letter was read from this organization, In
which it was recalled that in March, $780,
the society declined to participate in a
similar celebration and has continued to
hold itself aloof from affairs of this kind.
The Social Turnverein was not represented
in the Bismack memorial exercises which
took place in Maennerchor Hall. In it's
letter to the other societies. the German
House organization gave three reasons why
it would not take part in the German day
celebration. Its first reason was that it
did not care to be included in any cele-
bration the purpose of which is to show
the strength OF the German element in
America. The second reason given was that
the Social Turnverein thinks it bad plan
to introduce politics into the German or
CARNATIONS of the city, which are mostly
social organizations. 1t was pointed out
that celebration Of the kind talked of
would naturally be of political character.
AS third reason, it was contended that, as
American citizens it would not be in good
taste for members of German societies to
participate in a celebration of The kind con-
templated.
Notwithstanding the Social Turnverein S
refusal to assist in the celebration, the rep
resentatives of the other societies decided
last night to go on with the arrangements,
and a temporary organization was formed
with the following officers: President,
Frederick Francke; secretary, Fred Wen
eel; treasurer, Otto Frenzel; marshal
Jacob Bieler. IT is the plan 10 have a pa
rade the morning of the celebration, and In
the afternoon there will be entertainment
at the German Shooting Park. The commit
tee On programme was instructed to make
its report next Monday morning. The Ger
man Club has not yet had the question OF
celebrating German day before it. but mem
bers of the Social Turnverein say this club
will certainly oppose the demonstration.
