The writer voices . condition that
has often been dwelt upon in this
column Of the Herald: namely, that
one of the greatest handicaps the
klamath county farmer has to con-
tend with Is the lack Of proper mar
ket facilities, and that to secure
the patronage OF the farmer. the
merchant must expect to purchase
as much as possible from the farmer.

somewhat, and to show farmers what

investigating committee. if it had been inclined
to learn the truth. The appointment OF the COM
mittee and its organization showed that It was
the intention Of the present administration to
protect its appointees regardless Of the cost to
the citizens of Richmond.
The fact that we have lax methods OF inspec-
ton of food products jeopardizes the health OF
the citizens of this community. The mayor has
been guilty of negligence, to say the least, when
after the charges had been made he did not make
an attempt to ascertain the facts, but instead
took position of defending the man whom he
appointed.
The character of DR.. Glenn has not been ques-
toned but his official acts dairy and food in
spector have been and justly SO, because the tax
payers of Richmond contribute $1,000 year for
protection which they have not received.
During the investigation, the Palladium rep
resentatives among other things found that
there were at least two diaries which were in a
filthy condition and in great danger of spreading
disease if the conditions were not changed.
The $1,000 year should guarantee the citi-
zens of Richmond pure milk through proper in
spection, but we cannot secure this by the meth
DDS employed by DR.. Glenn.

A most delicate question arises In
the homie when the wife decides that
she would like to earn some pin
money.
When the wife conceives this idea
OF helping out. the first problem which
confronts her Is:
Shall l 90 ahead without my hus-
bands CONSENT"
The answer should be that under
no circumstances should the wife pro-
coed to earn pin money without first
consulting her husband. Any mans
pride would be hurt If he thought his
wife felt his income inadequate and
had gone to work secretly to supple
ment it.
That Mrs. So and So is working to
help earn livelihood for the family
makes good material for the neigh
borhood gossips also, and especially
IL 1t Is discovered that she is doing
1t without her husbands knowledge.
1 Most women with a family have
about all they feel like doing. but
there are cases when it is both pleas
ant and profitable for the wife to add
to the family savings. Where the
wife has a special talent which she
can develop without neglecting the
home and husband, there is no reason
why he should object. Many married
women are the authors of fiction
which regularly appearsin our peri
odicals. Others find that making
fancywork provides a pleasant man.
ner in which to occupy their leisure
time and also to get little money
have known women who convert
ed money earned in leisure moments
to church and charitable purposes.
Whatever the purpose or whatever
the nature of the work, the husband
should, in justice to him, be con-
suited.

DECREASE IS SHOWN
IN CHILDREN HELD
AT ORPHAN HOMES

During the. last two months. since
the investigating committee of the
county commissioners began its inves-
tigation. forty.two Wayne county chill
dren have been released from or
phans' institutions. All these children
have been placed in foster homes or
have been returned to their parents or
relatives and provision made for keep
ing them.
The report on file in the county
auditors office shows that on July l.,
1915 there were SO children at Whites
institute. The same records now show
that there are only 10 children there
from Wayne county. On July l, there
were % children at the Home Of the
Friendless. At the present time there
are no children there. The three chill
dren at the colored orphans home at
Indianapolis on July 1 have not been
released. There is also one child at
Julia E. Wert's home.
The record shows that there was
total Of 65 Wayne county children In
the institutions on July I. while now
there are %. Because of this reduc-
ton. the county commissioners will
be enabled to cut at least $4,000 from
the budget OF next year for the main
tenance Of children.

JOHN SMITH.

MY recollection of John Smith and
MS Wife Is very clear. My parents oc-
cup1ed q cottage on the brow OF the
NIL and was frequently at his house
40 not remember having seen him
after 1888. The house that James
HadIey described was the first building
In Richmond. have always thought
the brick was brought here from some
where In Ohio. The walls of the house
were very thick, the woodwork was of
oiled walnut and the plaster as white
as l recall the plan Of the house
Inere was good-sized living room
with door opening to the south; east
OF This room was a bedroom, and west
OF 1t kitchen OF one story, containing
large fireplace. with a crane and
hooks to hang the kettle on: north of
the kitchen shed to cover the man
gle and brick ovsn
The front of the building was two
stories. In an upper room was a cedar
press with wide shelves to receive the
blankets and counterpanes when not
In use. At the top of the brick wall
the bricks were layed with joints pro-
Jecting, which formed an ornamental
cornice. This was an offense to some
of the older friends, but John Smith
defended his plan, and the cornice re-
NAMED
The barn was northeast of his dwell
ing and southeast of it there was a
large orchard. l remember seeing him
making cider with hand press. He
carefully cut the apples to make sure
nothing Objectionable went under the
press. At that time there was no
market for apples. and the people of
the village, especially tn negroes, were
allowed to pick up all they could USE
The ground sloped off toward the
west of the dwelling, where the spring
house was situated, and beyond that,
toward the top of the hill, were a few
watts for tanning leather. John Finley
bought this ground and enlarged the
tannery, and it was afterward owned
and still further enlarged by the Wig
gins family.
John Smith and his wife were highly
esteemed by all who knew them They
were very hospitable. I have heard
my mother say they entertained as
many as forty guests during the entire
yearly meeting. To accommodate
them linen bedticks were filled with
clean straw and placed on the floors,
for women and girls. Men and boys
had bed of clean straw in the upper
part of the barn. / don't know where
John Smith was buried, as I was at
tending school at Centerville at the
time of his burial

ASK SUNKEN GARDEN
FOR COUNTY FARM

In accordance with a recommends.
ton of the board of county charities
and correction, a plan for "sunken
garden" at the poor farm, west OF
Centerville. has been submitted to the
county commissioners. 1t is planned
to convert the pond in front OF the
main building at the poor farm, into a
garden. The plans were prepared by
NJ. H. Gaar, of Cambridge City.
The plan of converting it into a
garden was suggested by c. B. Beck,
president of the charities board. The
improvement will cost approximately
$3.50.

SWITCHBOARD GIRLS
TOO WISE TO FL|RT

Flirting is not a characteristic of
the telephone operator" said w. S. vi
Wan, of Chicago, Saturday, who had
charge of the combination school for
operators in session in the CONNER
cial club rooms.
The girl who becomes an operator
soon becomes wise to all that is going
on in town. She knows all about the
seamy side of life, sees it's start and
sees its finish. AS a result she shuns
all Of that, because she knows the re-
suits far better than the average girl
could ever know.
Cupid is the worst enemy of eff
cient service. because he insists upon
taking usually the most successful op-
orators. Every man likes an efficient
woman, and young man is usually
drawn to an operator because of her
readiness in making decisions and her
resourcefulness. Only one out of six
operators become really efficient

with a boy who will be senior He
asked me to become engaged to him
with the understanding that we marry
as soon after he completes his college
course as possible. Do you approve
of long engagements? Don't you
think we are too young to bind our
selves and that we might change

life that they say comes with college

You are too young to become en-

The Palladium in its issue last Saturday pub

jurisdiction of DR.. Lou. Glenn. After reading
these statements one must be impressed with
the extremely lax methods used by the present

These expressions were not taken at random
but systematic canvass was made by newspa-
per representatives to ascertain the truth of the
reports which were current about the official
acts Of the inspector. These facts could have
