ceeded finally in producing varieties
which would ripen as far north as Can
ada. Since the discovery o. America,
this staple food of these aborigines has
been generally raised all over the
world. 1t now ranks with wheat, rye,
barley oats and rice as one of the
most important food grains, and may
be called the American Indians great
est gift TO modern civilization.
Indian corn, therefore, has special
historical interest for Americans from
the fact that it is generally recognized
as being native to American soil. Its
cultivation and use even in the early
colonial days was very widely distrib-
uted. The desire TO produce it was
probably the incentive which most FREE
quently led the Indians to abandon
nomadic life and to form settlements.
Because of the quickness and ease with
which it can be raised, it was undoubt-

At the close of 1918, the Rich

Power plant had a balance on
hand of $32O.13 to show for the
years activities at the plant.
The annual report of the plant
was submitted to the board of
public works today by Manager
Clarence Kleinknecht and it is
regarded as exceptionally good.
During the year new addi-
tion was built to the plant and
a new generator installed, in
creasing the plants capacity
from 1880 k. w. to $3.50 k. w.
These improvements cost $751;
625.69. Other expenses in the
item of building and equipment
brought the total expenditures
for this purpose in 1918 up to
$92,O72.21.
Disbursements for operating
expenses tOtaled S49,O17.64,
while 1920 was paid into the
sinking fund, which is to pay
off the bonded Indebtedness of

found necessary to borrow from the
Union National bank to meet the alb
normal expenses incurred through the
many improvements made in the
course of the year. The total amount
paid into the municipal fund in 1918,
therefore, amounted to $149,329. SO,

"Mr. Baviss suggestion for memor-
ial arch is an excellent one,' remarked
Judge Henry c. Fox, veteran, land
hope it will be adopted. I will CO
operate enthusiastically in any move
ment along that line
Judge Fox also approved Of the sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Bavis that the
arch be of granite surrounded Dy
flower beds and with one or two old
cannons nearby. He also thought that
site near the arch should be set
aside for the proposed heroic statue
of Oliver P Morton, Wayne county S
most distinguished son who was war
governor of Indiana.
Those who were informed of the
memorial arch plan today all suggest
ed that the fund for it's construction
be raised by appropriations from the
city and county, part of the Chautau-
qua fund and by popular subscription.
Il am glad to hear of Mr.. Bavls
action, and ! heartily approve Of the
plan," said Mr.. Handley. Il would
further suggest that the Board OF
Works send a communication to Rep.
Gray, asking him to secure two can
mons to be placed on the hill at the
rear of the arch. | would also sug-
gest that a large statue of soldier
surmount the keystone Of the arch
and that the arch be lighted with cleo
tricity so that it will be visible for

Il have figured out that we will
have only $40 day for the upkeep
Of the park, not including the payroll,
so no very elaborate plans for i'm

Board members take a keen inter
est in the Glen's popular zoo and if
possible a doe deer will be purchased
this year. The park only has one
stag deer at present, most of the herd
having been served from time to
time over the bars at the yuletide
season. This practice will be brought
to a sharp halt. Beginning next year
it is probable provision will be made
for a steady increase of the menag
