Dear Sir: see that two of
my letters to the "home folks"
have been published in the Mo.
Valley Times, and while the
folks at home may enjoy read
ing them, let me warn you not
to tax the good nature of the
patrons of The Times, thereby
lose some subscribers, but if it
is necessary to fill space, and as
/ promised you a lette, l shall
now try to redeem that prmise.
/ hardly know what to write
about, there is so much to be
told, however the poet sums it
up in these words:
80 Southland! o Dreamland!
With cycles of green:
O Moonlight; enchanted by
Mocking birds song;
Cool sea-winds, fair mountains
the fruit-lands between;
The Pepper trees shade, and
the sunny days long,"
To all of which one can agree
with the exception of the last
phrase, and tits too bad that the
word "long" was needed there
to rhyme with song" as short
would have been more suitable;
what becomes Of the hours and
days one can not understand; it
is truly a land of enchantment.
We always think of Califor-
mia as being new, and begin its
history with that of the gold
discovery in 1849, but it has a
most interesting history and
one of the most picturesque set
ling of any State in the Union.
We can go back to 1912 and
Cabrillo, in the bay of San Die
go, and in 1902, Sebastian Viz
caus anchored in San Diego bay
and visited and gave the names
to San Pedro, Monterey and
Santa Catalina. While the Pu-
ritan fathers of New England
were each year driving the ma
tive Indians farther and farther
back into the country, fighting
and killing them, the people of
the Pacific coast of Mexican and
Spanish blood were dancing
away whole days and nights,
like children, while the Priests
were gathering the Indians by
the thousands into the Missions,
feeding and teaching them, and
before the Declaration of indie
pendence in 1776 there had been
established in California five
missions; these were founded by
Franciscan Friars from Mexico,
having been sent out by Spain
in the interest Of the Catholic
church and for the benefit of
mankind. Between the years
1869 and 1928, there had been
81 missions established, and I'M
less one has taveled over a des-
ert country they cannot realize
what that means, nor the
faith and endurance of these
servants of the Church who ac-
complished such wonderful re-
suits amid so much which was
discouraging, for at the end Of
GO years, in the Missions were
10000 Indian converts, and they
owned hundreds of thousands
head of cattle, horses and sheep,
and the Indians were taught all
lines of trade. In 1913, Spain
passed an act allowing them to
become citizens of the towns or
pueblos which had grown up
around the Missions, and one
half of the Mission lands were
sold to pay Spain's National in
deptedness, and this act was the
beginning of the end Of the Mis-
sion life in this country. The
history of the years following
the strife and turmoil between
Spain and Mexico, then Mexico
and the United States makes in.

I'VE must all. if we would keep pace
with the progress of our time. emulate
our calling by making ourselves in
telligent and thorough going in the de
velopment of our home and of our
selves as its representatives,.
The farmer who has caught the
spirit of the times realizes that farm
ing is something more than mere
drudgcry. Schools. colleges and spe-
cial Institutions of learning may turn
out lawyers and preachers and doc
tors in a few brief years. The science
of, agriculture demands a preparation
and intelligence equal to that of any
other calling. Give US this day our
daily bread, is a prayer which comes
up from our cities. and it rings across
the continents. Especially with pc
culiar and pathetic force when the
fires of furnaces are banked and the
machinery of factories stand still. To
supply the ever growing demand is the
mission of improved methods of agri-
culture and we should all realize il
and act upon it and bring to our call
crops feed upon as completely as what
TO feed our hogs and cattle to fatten
them. A knowledge of botany. OF
chemistry. of grasses and bees and
fruits, of the pests which destroy them
should all be familiar to us to manage
them
Let the old world roll on, we will
90 1t-hi
form more and more to the ineXorable
laws OF nature. We cannot break them
or repeal them or annul them. They
can break us, and will. if we do not
recognize their binding force. Out in
the fields amid the rustlinS corn and
whispering wheat, out in the pure air
and undimmed sunshine. drinking in
the ozone. feeling our kindred to the
soil upon which we tread. with the
birds that sing. the animals which look
to us. their guardians. for food au'.
shelter. for kindness. which they never
fail 10 appreciate, let us do our best
to bring back the lost Eden. which will
convert the world when we shall have
| developed the good and cradicated the
| bad which exists in material and Spir-
| itual nature.
ALLOW me to repeat substantially
what | have said to you in my former
addresses. that the most precious crop
which old Wayne county produces is
her boys and girls. From the quiet
! beauty of our country hOmesteadS let
our young men come out physically.
mentally. morally strong, and rejoic-
! ing as a strong man to run race. Our
girls, bright, intelligent, helpful and

the pole then the fathers and mothers

good fight. and kept the faith" and
their names will be precious ever
more"

Again the Improvement at
Prominent Corner Has Been
Abandoned by Directors of
Institutions.
UNPROFITABLE INVEST
MENT GIVEN AS A REASON
Last Winter at D. G. Reid's
Suggestion 1t Was Planned
To Erect New Three-Story
Building.
S. NJ. JENKINS.
JcWeler.

Again the directors of the Second
National bank and the directors Of the
Richmond Trust company have a~and-
oned the plan for the erection of Il
building for the two financial institu-
tiOns at the corner of Eighth and Main
streets on the space now occupied by
the Second National bank, the McDOn-
aid drug store and the Jenkins jew
elry store.
Last winter at the suggestion Of =.
G. Reid it was proposed to build d
modern office building of six or sew
en- stories on this corner Last SUM
mer this plan was abandoned for the
reason that the building would be
much larger than the demand for Of
flee space. 1t was then decided to
build three story building, the erec-
tiOn of which was to commence this
coming spring.
Yesterday an officer of the Second
National bank said that recently the
. directors of that bank and those of the
Richmond Trust company, had decid-
ed that for the time being it would be
unwise to erect the proposed three
story building. At the directors
meeting it was decided that it would
be an Improbable investment to erect
the building so the plan was aband-
oned," said the bank officer in explain
ing the matter

Hunt Says That on First Inter-
view, City Attorney Study
Said the Meat Ordinance
Would Not Hold Water.
CLAIMED HE BUT RECENT
lY CHANGED OPINION.
Hunt Still Claims Meat Ordi-
nance Is Illegal and Has Not
Withdrawn His Offer to Test
The Case in Court.

c. B. Hunt. the Main street grocery
man, insists Vat City Attorney Study
has had no interview with him in re-
CARDS to the legality of the meat in
spection ordinance, which Mr.. Hunt
still contends is unconstitutional.
"A few days ago | went to Mr. Stu.
dy's office in company with farmer
who sells uninspected meat in this
city" said Mr.. Hunt yesterday. we
asked Mr.. Study at that time if il
would be a violation of the city meat
inspection ordinance If this farmer
continued to sell uninspected meat in
Richmond. The city attorney inform
ed us that it would be no violation Oi
the ordinance. Now | understand that
he states the selling of uninspected
meat in Richmond is a violation OF
the ordinance and insists that the or
dinance is constitutional.
Il take the stand that the laws OF
the state permit the sale Of uninspect
ed meat and, that for this reason. the
city of Richmond has no right to pass
an ordinance which is not in accord
Win JDc Sidlt idN >. III OIHtI NOIuS
contend that farmers have as much
right TO sell their uninspected meat
products in Richmond as they have il

county
Mr.. Hunt stated that City Health OF
ficer, DR.. c. $. Bond, is aware Of the
fact that the meat inspection ordinance
is illegal The groceryman says that
after he had published an advertise
ment to the effect that the ordinance
was unconstitutioual and that ht
would pay the costs Of any farmer ar
rested for violation of the ordinance
Or Bond called upon him and said thai
he recognized that the ordinance coulC
not hold water in any court. but tha
he should show his public spiritednes:
and raise no obstacles against the en-
forcement of an ordinance, the enforce
ment of which was for the best inter

Superintendent Napier Tells
Many Stories of Boyhood
Days of Martyred President
Spent in Kentucky.
WAS TALL, UMGAINLY,
AWKWARD AND UGLY.
For This Reason the Young
sters Near Lincoln Home
Refused to Associate With
Young Lincoln.

On February l., J. b. Napier. SUI
firmary will quietly observe the birth
day of the martyred president, Abra
ham Lincoln, Who has gone down to
history as one of Americas greatest
patriots Mr.. Napier was a second
cousin of President Lincoln, a fact
which is little known even to his
closest friends. OF course Mr.. Napier
is very proud of his relationship and
if you question him he will talk most
interestingly about the great presi
dent--but the county infirmary super
intendent is a quiet man and talks but
little.
"Abraham Lincoln's mother was
Nancy Hanks. Her sister was the
mother of my father, He.ry Napier
After the two sisters were married
they lived in the same neighborhood
LaRue county, Kentucky, for severa
years" stated Mr.. Napier last night.
Later my fathers family moved tc
Milton county. Kentucky while Lin
coins family moved 10 Harden coun
". Even then the two families lived
only about thirty miles apart have
heard my father tell of many instan
ces connected with the boyhood ot
Lincoln.
Like all the neighborhood boys
my father did not care much for Lin
coin and as a result the two cousins
were seldom seen together. The par
ticular reasons why the boys did nor
| like Lincoln. my father once informed
me. was because of his awkardness
and extreme ugliness. Father Otter
said that Abraham Lincoln was the
most homely human being he had ev
er seen. So akward and 'countrified
was Lincoln that his nickname wa.

Probation Officer Speaks of
TutWalIer Home in Severest
Denunciating Terms to Ju-
veniIe Court.
SCENE WHEN
FATHER WAS ARRAGNED,
Admitted Many Accusations
Made and Wept Tears
When Court Said Children
Were to Go to Institute.

A hell on earth is the way Pro
hiDition Officer Mrs. Elizabeth Cand-
Ter describes the home OF Frank Tut
waller in a report submitted to Judge
Fox yesterday in the juvenile court.
Mrs Gambler investigated the condi
tion of the Tutwaller home at the
courts orders to see if il was 4 fit
place for TutWaller's two young child
rem, Ethel and Harry. to live. After
the report OF the probation officer had
been read, Prosecutor Jessup said that
he had ordered the police to take the
two children to headquarters and keep
them there until fit place for them
had been found.
Resides speaking thus of the home
which is a miserable shack in the ex-
treme south end of the city, Mrs
Gambler in her report labels Tutwaller
as a thief, the atmosphere of the home
degrading and immoral, the squalor
being indescribable.
Tutwaller is in the county Jail serv-
ing time on sentence for petit lar
ceny He was brought before Judge
Fox yesterday afternoon by Sheriff
Meredith. The prosecutor severely ar
j raigned the man. telling the court
/ that he was incompetent to care for
his children and that he lived with a
woman who was not his wife. Tut,
waller turned livid under the denun-
citation and then burst into tears
! Part of what the prosecutor said is
/ true, but part is not" said the man
when my wife died | hired the wom-
an that lives at my home to take care
of the children. | have done my best
to support them but now | cannot do
it"
/ When the court ordered that the
two little ones be taken to White 5
Institute, Tutwaller sobbed bitterly
| "Can't | see them before you take
them away?" asked Tutwaller. Ger
tainly YOU can. Before they are sent
to Whites Institute, Mrs. Gambler will
take them to the county Jail" said the
prosecutor. Judge Fox explained to
penal one and that there the children
would be well taken care of and Cdu
Gated.

OWEN BUSH TO
PLAY WITH BROWNS
Watkins of Indianapolis Likes
Little Wonder.

Owen Bush. an Indianapolis boy
who played with Richmond the latter
part of last season, is expected TO be
the regular shortstop for the Indianap-
oils American association team next
season, instead of Otto Williams
Watkins and Carr think a great deal OF
the yOungster. and there will be much
surprise if he fails to make good. Wat
kins thought so much of him that he
had the Detroit club draft him from
the South Bend team for 500. when he
could have got him for 500 by waiting
and making the draft himself. Wat
kins was afraid that some other club
would get ahead of him. Bush is
spending the winter at his home in
Indianapolis, and will be in fine shape
when spring practice is started.
