KIND WORDS

They never blister the tongue nor lips
and we have never heard of any mental
trouble arising from this quarter.
Though they do not cost much. they
help ones good nature and good will
Soft words soften our own soul Angry
words are fuel 10 the flames of wrath
and make it burn more fiercely.
Kind words make other people good
natured. Cold words freeze people and
hot wordsasscorch them. and bitter words
makes them bitter and wrathful words
makes them wrathful. There is such a
rush of all other kind of words in our
days, that it seems desirable to give kind
words a chance among them. There
are vain words, and idle words, and
hasty words. and spitefu words, and
silly words. and empty words, and Dois.
ferrous words, and warlike words Kind
words also produce their own image in
mems souls. And beautiful image 1t is,
They soohe and quiet and comfort the
hearer. They shame him out OF his sour
morose, unkind feelings. We have not
yet begun to use kind words in such
abundance as they ought to be used.

THE BUSINESS OF LIFE.

The task appointed unto us is admir-
ably stated in a recent issue of Col
licr's." Nothing finer as to the stern
business set out before us has recently
appeared in print:
To hold the vision of final arrival
at some fitting destination; to maintain
undmnished sense of personal worth
mess; to be defeated in each foolish
dream of the Younger life, and SO to be
disciplined into larger vision. made
more sure by adversely; to be delayed
for most of life time, and yet to believe
IN the strength of human spirit to sur
mount pain. outlive sin and defeat malice
and envy; to believe in the gradual but
all conquering power of good will; tosbe
saddened but not embittered; to be
beaten but not conquered. That is the
stern business set before us"

LOVE.

LOVE.
Love is the flower of the soul. It is
the holest and sweetest OF the heart
forces which prompt our actions. 1t is
more precious to most men and women
than all of the wealth in the world, be-
cause it is priceless. and ii is one OF the
Joys of heaven. Though without price
love Is a gift and can bear no relation to
selishness. Love is the sweetest, purest,
and yet the strongest Of all human influ-
ences. 1t will endure suffering, withstand
trials and overcome temptations. Love
lifts us out of oursordid selves, and then,
only then, we realize that the outgoing
Of love and helpfulness is but the incom-
ing of "a peace which passeth under
standing" Joy which fills the fountains
of the heart.
The idea of character as the sum of
the tastes and fixed choices, indicates the
way in which we are to strive for posi-
ton among our felowmen. We are to
strive for position by means of fitness
for it. The world is full of men who
are aiming at high places instead of
good preparation. We need to aim first
at our best selves. The ambition of too
MANY young people terminates on some
coveted position, when it ought to ter
inmate on preparation and fitness. The
man, who by diligence and faithfulness
makes the very most of himself, and
makes himself fully equal to station of
honor and usefulness among his fellows,

adorn it. Let no young man fear for
his place in life if he is thoroughly COM
petent to fill it. There are scores of po-
stions everywhere, into which crowds
Of applicants are trying to press, which
still wait for the men that can fill them.
The only certain royal road TO success
is through character and maniness.
~
After all, so much in this world de-
pends upon the way that you look at
things 1t may seem little thing this
looking at life from cheerful or dismal
point of view but it is in reality a very
great thing. Put on pair of blue spec
tacles and everything looks blue; green,
and everything is green. And so it is
with the ewes of our mind If we take

and far brighter. We shall not see the
faults in people, but their virtues II we
look for pleasant things we shall ind
them. or at least, we shall think that we
shall find them. which is much the same.
We are very apt to find what we look for;
therefore. let us look for light and hap
pness. Ii is all habit. And it is just
as easy to cultivate cheerful habit as
gloomy one And when once a habit
takes a strong hold of us. we all know
how hard it is to shake it off. Let us
then cultivate habit of cheerfulnees in
all circumstances of life. and habit Of
not finding fault. 1t is not the fault
finders who are going to do the great
deeds and make the world richer because
they have lived in it. No; these fault
finders who have no time to do any
thing but fault finding. 1t is the cheerful
people who help the world along, who
makes its great inventions and laws,
who builds its monuments, write its pc.
ems and novels, and who go down to
the grave lamented with honor.

NEUTRALITY RESTS
ON JUST POLICIES
DECLARES HOWARD

That the strength and safety of the
United States lies in the maintenance
of a policy of justice to all nations,
great and small, more than in the
building up of vast navies and great
standing armies. was the argument of
Rev. E. G. Howard, at the First Eng
lish Lutheran church in his sermon
yesterday on Our National Defense"
He introduced his sermon with the
story of the little country of Belgium
lying between the great powers and
assuming a policy of neutrality. When
the country was invaded, he said, the
arms of the country were inadequate
to protect it against the invading
forces.
THE condition of Belgium is now
the most pitiable of all nations" Rev.
Howard declared.
The pastor declared that this shows
the inadequacy of great armament
alone to maintain the neutrality of
any country.
THE building up of vast navies and
the maintenance of great standing
armies does not fully insure the safe
ty and welfare of any nation," he
said. IF the great eastern and west
ern coast lines of the United States
should be attacked, what would be our
source of protection. The wars of this
country previously have been the re-
suit of the work of jingoes who have
not had the real interests of the ma
ton at heart"

eluded in this city, arrived in an effort
to effect his capture.
Skinner informed the Muncie police
today that he had not been guilty of
any attempt to spread the foot and
mouth disease now raging among
live stock in many states, and that he
was not responsible for his actions be-
cause he had been on a protracted
spree. Little credence is given Skin
ner's assertions because in the places
where he operated he did not appear
to be under the influence of liquor.
Muncie authorities stated today that
in their opinion Skinner is mentally
unbalanced, and they think he may
have escaped from some Ohio insane
institution. He told them a very ram
bling and disconnected story.
Acts Rouse Suspicion.
Chief Goodwin on his return from
Union City said SINNERS actions in
that place were such as to arouse sus-
piciOn that he was engaged in the
work of spreading the stock disease.
Whether he was the agent of some for
eign government could only be sur
missed, the chief said. Goodwin also
admitted that SINNERS actions might
also indicate that he was mentally I'M
! balanced
Chief Goodwin says that Skinner while
in Union City talked with DR.. E. J. Det-
man, veterinarian, and proposed to
him to inoculate some cattle with
foot and mouth disease germs. He
said he had a serum which could cure
this disease, and that he would give
Detman territorial rights to it, and
that by injecting it into the cattle
which had previously been inoculated
with the disease germs they could be
cured and Detman would establish a
reputation for himself. This offer bet
man rejected.
Makes Big Adoo.
| 1t was this incident that made Chief
Goodwin suspicious that Skinner might
be in the employ of some foreign gov
eminent and was making an effort to
| spread the stock disease. Skinner al
so made a determined effort to get into
field where infected cattle were
quarantined, but without success.
ALTHOUGH SINNERS actions al
Union City indicate he was attempting
to spread the stock disease it is diff
cult to understand why he should pur
sue the tactics he adopted if he was
engaged in such work. Goodwin said
wherever Skinner went he made
/ great noise about himself and at
tracted general attention. You would
think man engaged in spreading dis
! ease germs would want to avoid as
much publicity as possible"

BL|CKWEDEL HEARS
OF PLAGUE ABROAD
Letter From Germany De-
scribes Malady Which Cuts
Off Meat Supply.

First information of the prevalence
of plague killing cattle in Germany
came to Richmond late last week,
when Adolph Blickwedel received a
letter from his sister, informing him of
an increase in meat prices in the Fa-
therland, owing to the prevalence of a
disease which is working havocs in
the herds.
The hoof and mouth disease is a
malady that often appears in Europe
and kills thousands of cattle. The
plague is not native to the United
States, and it's appearance here always
has been traced to some foreign coun-
try The theory has been advanced
in some parts of the United States
that bellgerents in the continental war
may have infected herds in big cattle
centers to cut off the meat supply of
the armies, and thereby Gripping the
army.
The letter which Mr.. Blickwedel re-
ceived from his sister does not state
what aiment has afflicted the cattle,
but the widespread nature Of the dis
ease has sent meat prices soaring in
Germany. and may have it's influence
on the success of the war.

LOVE BEATS WAR;
MISS HAMEL COMES
To MARRY \, LAMB

The war god could not stop the god
of love across three thousand miles of
| land and water, and Wednesday Miss
Elisabeth Hamel of Oldenburg, Ger
! many, will be married to Newton
Lamb, a chemist in the navy yard, at
Philadelphia.
Miss Hamel came to America a
week ago. She has been staying with
Mr. Lambs parents, Mr.. and Mrs. l.
n Lamb of Southeast Third street.
She came here for the purpose Of mar
rying Mr. Lamb, although the seized
ule of their marriage was interfered
with and the ceremonies will not be
exactly as they had planned.
Shortly before the beginning of the
war. Mr.. Lamb left Europe with Miss
Hamels promise that they would be
married at Oldenburg in October. Dr.
Richard p Hamel, author and editor,
saw that it would be impossible for
the couple to marry in Germany under
the conditions there and he consented
to have his daughter come to America
to marry her fiance.
Miss Hamel was unable to eStab-
lish a residence but under the circum-
stances, she was given license She
gave her home as Richmond, al
though she has been here but one
week. The couple will be married on
Wednesday at the North Eighth Street
Friends church when they will leave
for Philadelphia to live.
Miss Hamel said she is delighted
with America and is certain she will
be happy in the United States. She
did not start to learn the English Ian
guage until after she became engaged
to Mr.. Lamb, the courtship having
been conducted in German.

was not permitted to inspect the only
herd of cattle affected with the dis
ease in this locality.
Skinner told newspaper men he was
graduate of the Ohio and Illinois
state universities and was studying
the foot and mouth disease. He said
his purpose was to "show up" the fed
eral officers, who, he asserted, were
exaggerating the danger of the stock
disease to hold good jobs. He de-
clared only per cent of the foot and
mouth cases were fatal.
While Skinner was in a newspaper
office an automobile appeared, the
driver spoke a few words to Skinner
and both disappeared in the machine.
A short time later Chief of Police H.
D. Goodwin of Richmond arrived in an
automobile seeking to arrest Skinner.
1t is believed here that SINNERS asso-
ciate had been warned of the danger
of arrest. Although Skinner was
alone most OF the time here, he spent
Friday night In . rooming house with
three other men The party evident
ly had plenty e1 money.

MAYOR ASKS LOAN
OF $4,000 TO GIVE
UNEMPLOYED WORK

Mayor Robbins announced today
that he would present a communica-
ton to council at it's meeting this
evening advising that council author
lie a temporary loan of $4,000 to be
used in anticipating some city needs
during the present winter, which 9TH
erwise would not be provided until
next spring. With this money work
can be undertaken which will provide
employment for some of the city's I'M
employed, the mayor will point out to
council.
Mayor Robbins said that he would
wait until he presented this matter to
council before he listed the nature of
the work he has in mind.
1t was a surprise to many that the
mayor would advise a temporary loan
OF only $4,000, for it had been thought
council would be asked to authorize a
loan of $4,000 or more. The mayor
says he will explain tonight why so
small a loan is advised by him.

LIGHT CURRENT
kleinknecht Prepares Plans
for Ornamental Lighting
System in City's Business
District.

Plans and specifications for the in.
Btallation OF an ornamental lighting
system on Main street from the bridge
to Twelfth street; on Eighth street
from South A to North A: ON Fl.
Wayne avenue and North E street to
Il street. have been completed by Su-
perintendent Kleinknecht of the mu-
nicipal electric plant, but will not be
public works until two or three modi-
fications have been made.
These plans call for the installa-
ton OF 225 standards" Superintendent
kleinknecht said. "They will be con-
nected by underground wiring. No
conduit system will be Installed but
the wires will be placed in armored
cables and placed just below the
street paving.
System Costs $4,000.
81 estimate that the city's share of
the cost of installing this system will
be $4,000. or about $4,000 more than
the cost of placing ornamental lights,
attached to brackets, on trolley poles
would have been. I also estimate the
new overhead luminous arc street
lamps to be installed in the other
sections of the city by December IS
will cost another $4,000 This cost
includes the expense of the new
transformer house at the plant, now
nearing completion.
Not one cent Of this $4,000, which
is to be paid for the new lighting sys-
tenn will come out of the city treas
A. 80
expense. So far $4,000 has been paid
for the new overhead system and the
remainder of this cost will be paid by
the first of January.
Il think that it will be early in jan
uary before the actual work of INSTALL
ing the ornamental system in the BUSH
ness districts is begun and it is prob
able this system will not be in opera
ton before May L."

CHARLES SUGGESTS
CITY use JOBLESS
TO REPAIR SEWERS
Engineer Believes Largest
Number of Men Could Be
Employed to Improve In
adequate System.

The largest amount Of useful work
the city might provide for its unem-
ployed. according to city engineer
Fred Charles, would be to take up ex-
tensive and needed sewer improve
ments.
This is class of work, Mr.. Charles
states, that can be carried on practi-
! cally as we'll in winter as at any other
! time of the year.
AS to the need of better and more
adequate sewers, particularly in the
| business section of Richmond. there is
no doubt Hardly heavy rain falls
but there are reports of flooded base
ments and damage to goods stored
therein
The present sewers are too small
| and are not laid deeply enough under
the ground. This is greatly handicap
ping the new development that has
started in the business section of re-
cent years with the construction of
many new buildings. The inadequate
sewers are forcing builders to provide
very shallow Easements, sacrificing
valuable ground space.
The new Palladium building was AZ
fected in just this manner. On account
Of the shallow and small sewer In
North Ninth street 1t was necessary
to make a shallow basement under
this new building. despite the fact
that the value of the location demand
ed a deep basement
Sooner or later, according to Mr..
Charles. Richmond will have to wake
up to the fact that its business sec
ton must have . better sewer sys-
tenn.
The cheaper cost Of materials today
and the plentiful number of laborers
that can be obtained as well as the ab-
solute necessity Of providing work OF
some useful kind for the unemployed.
make this an ideal time for the city
| to use its good credit and push sewer
reconstruction work this winter.
