crops not only sufficient to supply all
OF their own needs, but to supply the
needs OF our cities and towns and

Safe Medicine for Children

to be considered when buying coug.
medicine for children. Chamberlaln's
Cough Remedy has long been a "a

er narcotic, and may be given to a
child as confidently as to an adult.
It is pleasant to take, too, which is
of great importance when medicine

Why Constipation Injuries

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part Of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed in
to the system, making you feel dull
and stupid, and interfering with the
digestion and assimilation of food
This condition is quickly relieved by
Chamberlain's Tablets. Obtainable

AS one seeing the timely warning
of the Governor of our State togeth-
er with many others as to the ne
cessity for laying all stress possible
on raising food crops, 1 wish to say
is unquestionably a timely sugges-
tion. The price of cotton having
reached the point it has, is an invi-
tation to cause the farmers TO- stress
that to the detriment of other crops.

that we make every possible effort

Killed by Explosion of Barrel OF

lunches would "pauperize" the children, and SO he
proceeded to kill the measure through Giles.
It must be kept in mind, however, that these
lunches would not come under the scientific"
management of the Social Service Bureau. This
also prejudiced Melpolder against the plan, for
besides administering scientific charity" he
enormously believes that he has monopoly on
all the charity work Of Richmond point in
which he is greatly mistaken. for Christ-ike
women will help the sick and poor irrespective of
his arrogant assumption Of power.
The board that has jurisdiction over Melpold-
er ought to take into consideration that the So
cial Service Bureau work as such, meets no oppo-
sition. The community as whole believes in the
organization, but an Overwhelmingly large ma
jority of the citizens have concluded that John
Melpolder is not the man to conduct the work.
Mepolder's strength is in his ability to organize.
He has done that work well. The time has come
when he should be asked to resign, and his place
be given to person who unites organization
ability with love, kindness and sympathy. A man
is needed to whom the poor and unfortunate can
turn as to their brother, in whom they will have
confidence, to whom they viii tell their troubles.
Melpolder is misfit in Richmond. His opposi-
ton to the lunches at Whitewater school is mere
ly another indication of the mans cold attitude
toward the unfortunate ones.

telligence shown by Superintendent
Giles in allowing this so-called charity
expert to dictate to him in the manner
he has. Melpolder's connection with
the city school board at most is a
very minor one, that of city truant Of
hcer for which services rendered CT
not rendered the county pays the So
cial Service bureau 5000 a year.
The only reason Melpolder has To-:
blocking the lunches at Whitewater
school Is not because the system will
pauperize the children but because the
check for $35 given by the Domestic
Science was handed to Principal Ram
sey and not to the Social Service bill
reau. Is it not time that q halt was
called on this modern Pooh-Bah who
like the PQoh.Bah in the opera Mikado
was not only Lord High Everything
but always has his hand stuck out be-
hind his back waiting for another in
suit?
Christ says: Suffer little children
to come unto me and forbid them not

insufficiently nourished children of

A Juicy Melon

One of the largest melons ever divided by an
industrial concern was announced few days ago
when the directors Of the Bethlehem Steel cor
poration increased the common stock dividend
from 71s per cent to 10 per cent quarterly. The
country at large is wondering why the Bethlehem
corporation and other steel companies could not
furnish projectiles to the navy cheaper than the
British company which landed the contract. In
terest is divided between the common stock
dividend and the failure of American corpora
tions to furnish the American navy with shells.
The big dividend coming shortly after the award
ing of the government contract to the British
firm is making the people wonder why Uncle
Sam does not start an arnlor and shell factory of
his own.

Main Street Lights

Every one will admit that the new system of
lighting Main street is far superior to the old
one. Even those who grumbled when the pro-
gressive business men and real estate owners
finally put through the improvement will now adj
NIT that the change is beneficial to them and a
distinct advertisement for the city. When a
stranger visits city that is imperfectly lighted,
he takes away with him an impression that is not
a good advertisement for the municipality. A
brilliantly lighted city, especially it's business dis
trict, bespeaks progressive business men.

Melpolder Again

The world admires shrewdness. We believe
in giving credit where credit is due John Mel
polder is to be congratulated his ability to put
across whatever he sets out to do. If he wants
something done he usually gets it; if he wants a
movement killed, he is able to line up enough
influences to have it done.
A fine illustration of the methods of this man
is to be seen in the manner in which he brought
about the defeat of movement fostered by some
Of the finest women of this community to pro-
vide wholesome lunches for the children Of
Whitewater school, We commend Melpolder for
his political" ability, but roundly condemn his
methods.
Melpoder did not want lunches served to the
poor children of Whitewater school, because, as
it is reported, the serving of food to these chill
dren would interfere with his administration of
Scientific charity" in the district in which the
Whitewater school is located. Science as applied
to charity and as exemplified by Mepolder set at
naught the philanthropc effort of some of the
good hearted and kind women of the city.
The hostility of this "cold professional, sta
tistical paid agent of public philanthropy" was
known before the matter was presented to the
school board Melpolder found his ally for de-
feating the women in Superintendent of
Schools Giles, who shares some of the opinions
of Melpolder and looks upon the problem Of
charity from cold Scientific standpoint
The attitude of Giles is surprise to most of
the community, for the belief obtained that the
head of the Richmond schools was actuated in his
decisions to certain degree at least by the die
tates Of sympathy and kindness. Why Giles
should be such an intimate friend and sup
porter of Melpolder is something which in
vestigation has not yet disclosed. So much is
apparent that in several cases where oppos-
ton to Melpolder's methods has been voiced
the name of Giles was connected with the
incident.
In this instance, the women of this city whose
love was ready to go out to unfortunate child
rem have both Melpolder and Giles to criticise
for the defeat of their effort.
The conditions that prompted the installation
of lunch system in Whitewater school are
these: Many of the little children come to school
without breakfast, or are given so little food that
they have neither the mental stamina nor the
physical strength to work to advantage in the
class room. The teachers Of Whitewater school
and many mothers planned to provide lunches at
a very reasonable cost and to give the food away
free to those pupils whose parents could not af-
ford to pay the nominal charges asked. It was
believed that the system would be self-support- !
ing in short time Money for the movement |
was on hand.
But in the meantime Richmonds paid agent
of public philanthropy, in his superior wisdom.
decided that from thei scientific standpoint the
