A farmer cannot harvest crop unless he sows
the seed and cultivates the ground. A business
man cannot make a profit unless he makes an
investment. A mechanic cannot enjoy wages
unless he learns his trade. t
And so it is in moral sense man cannot
enjoy the nobler sides of life unless he has taken
time and pains to acquire them. Excellence of
character comes by way of development and cul-
tivation. Good books, good companions, partici-
patton in noble things, develop the positive sides
of our moral makeup A noble man is such
because he has developed these sides. They do
not come to him unsolicited and without work.

Standard Baskets.

On November /, 1917, standards for baskets
grapes, other fruits and vegetables, and other
types of baskets will be established by the United
States government The law which passed con-
gress applies only to interstate shipments and
does not interfere with local regulations. The
passage of this law will help housewives very
much It will put an end to payment for short
weight and short measure in the buying of fruits
and vegetables. The absence of a standard rule
for measuring fruits and vegetable has worked
hardship on many housewife who paid good
price for foodstuff and received less than she
paid for. The act carries with it clause pro-
viding penalties for those who violate it's pro-
visions. The working out of the law is left with
the department of agriculture.

investigation showed that the sale of the mar
cotic among children had attained considerable
proportions.
One is staying within the bounds of reason
when he expresses the hope that the courts of
New York fix the heaviest penalty on the statute
books on the persons guilty of this practice. Leg
islation has sought for many years to break up
the traffic among adults, and when the sale of
the drug became so general that even children
can buy it, the point has been reached when no
punishment is too drastic.
The pitfalls surrounding a child are numer-
Gus enough without subjecting it to the ruinous
effects Of the drug habit. Men who sink to the
level of selling cocaine to children have forfeited
all claims to judicial clemency. They deserve
severe punishment.

The Gas Rate Finding.

When the Indiana Public Utilities Commission
handed down a ruling Saturday, increasing the
gas rate and throwing the burden of the new
schedule on the small consumer it handed the
citizens of Richmond the hardest jolt they have
received from utility in many a month The
blow was staggering one. No one anticipated
an increase as large as the one which the state
commission gave the gas company. That an in
crease would come was generally expected, but
no one expected seventy-cent gas.
The commission really handed the company a
mighty fine present and gave the city mighty
fine blow. The company gets more than it asked
for, and the city gets another increase in the
cost of living.
Little need be said in an analysis of the ruling.
One thing is approximations of this city can
not afford to use gas at this rate, and there is
every justification for citizens refusing to burn
the fuel and falling back on coal and wood. Hun
dreds of consumers will find themselves unable to
pay the increased rates, and they will be COM
PEELED to burn other fuel The result of this will
be that the receipts of the company in the long
run will be less than they would have been had
the commission given rate along the lines ndi-

THE WITCH AND HER GOLD

Once upon a time there was a
witch who was very rich. Her cave
was lined with boxes and bags OF
gold, and deep hole under her cave
was filled with gold and precious
stones
This old witch used to carry off the
children of kings, and then tell them
| that for a big amount of gold she
would tell them how to get their
children back.
For many years she did this wicked
thing, until one day she carried off a
little prince who was Drawer and more
courageous than the others had been,
and the old witch was caught in the
trap she had set for others
The old witch used to carry a big
bag on her back and she wandered
about the country, lying in wait for a
prince or a princess, and when she
found one or the other who had
strayed far enough from the palace SO
she could talk to them, she would
throw her bag on the ground and say
While bag you only appear to me,
To others you look to be tree"
Then the old witch would touch the
tree that appeared, and it would be
filled with luscious looking fruit, and
the little prince or princess would
run to the tree to gather it.
Then the old witch, who was hiding
somewhere about, would come to the
tree and say very quickly:
"Obey me, bag, and wrap around
The prize you see which l have
found"
And then the tree would become a
bag again and drop over the little
prince or princess, and the wicked old
witch would carry off the royal child
to her cave and keep it until the king
gave her gold.
Now it happened that one king had
a son who was dwarf, and though
he was man in years, he was only
child in size
One day he thought of scheme to
be rid Of the old witch and her dread
full manner of stealing the royal chill
dren, and he went into the woods and
watched
By and by along came the old witch
with the bag over her back, and when
she saw the prince-she knew he was
a prince by the way he was dressed
the old witch dropped the bag she
carried and repeated
While bag you only appear to me,
To others you look to be tree"
Then she covered the tree with big
peaches and ran behind a pile of
stones.
The prince ran to the tree and be-
gan to pick the fruit and eat it.
When he took the first bite of
peach a strange thing happened The
