WAR CHARITIES.

An article in the Saturday Evening
Post last week dealt with the abuse
which has grown out Of the numerous
campaigns for raising funds for war
charities. Among the instances cited
was bazaar held in New York where
the total receipts were around $4,000
and the net amount realized for the
charity itself was less than 81 900. 9th
er cases were cited and schemes of
agents posing as patriots shown up.
New York and Chicago are not the
only places whore unsound ideas, bad
management and deception cause q
great deal OF inenlciency In the raising
Of our war charities and other ch' r.
ties as well. All local committees in
raising funds should consider first the

EATON CELEBRATES
ALL DAY MONDAY

EATON, O.. Nov. 12.-Germany's
signing of the armistice was duly cele-
brated in Eaton Monday. The jollify-
ing was begun by small number OF
people when the word was received
here shortly before o'clock in the
morning. that the Huns had bowed to
the demands of the Allies and the re-
joicing increased in volume as hun
dreds joined in. This was capped
with mammoth street parade about
10 o'clock, in which men, women and
children marched and in which a
seemingly endless line of automobiles
filed with shouting and singing peo-
pie took part. The marching column
made all the noise it possibly could.
Everything in the making line
was brought into use. Many of the
marchers carried flags and all auto
mobiles carried the American colors
and residences throughout the town
displayed the national colors.
The day was turned into a holiday.
Mayor Harry l.. Risinger issued a
proclamation requesting all business
to cease for the day.
Patriotic addresses were made by
local men after the parade in the fore
noon.
A signal for the widest and lus-
test shouting was when Preble coun-
tvs service flag was suspended across
the street at the intersection of Main
and Barron streets. The flag contains
more than 500 stars.
The celebration was renewed in the
evening and kept up until late hour.
A parade was a feature Of the evening
jollifying.
Hundreds Of country folk joined in
the evening doings and the streets
were glutted with happy, shouting
and rejoicing mob of people
In probably was the biggest demon
stration that ever took. place in Eaton.

new GARDEN IS
AGAIN PLACED
UNDER FLU BAN

New Garden township. including
Fountain City, is again under infiu-
enza ban. according to County Health
Officer Bulla in statement issued
Tuesday morning.
Dr. Bulla said the trouble in Foun-
tain City lay in the fact that doctors
had not been reporting the cases, and
conditions had developed SO it was
necessary to close all the schools and
churches and public meetings.
Three teachers in the Fountain City
schools are sick with the influenza and
many of the pupils. Some of the pupils
have been allowed to go to school
from homes where there are many
cases of influenza.
1.-The same condition will exist In
Richmond if the doctors fail to re-
port cases of the influenza" DR.. Bulla
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-11-12

said, "but SO far the situation is the
very best In the city"
Several cases of scarlet fever have
been reported from Centerville and
Abingdon but hope to keep 1t under
control and have had all the houses
where there are any cases carded," he
said.
'If all the people will cooperate
with the doctors and the doctors with
DR.. Davis and me in keeping the dis
ease down it will not break out, but If
the doctors fail to report cases the
ban will be lowered once more on the
city," Dr. Bulla said.

Pity POOR

a Kansas man complains that since his daughter
has taken music lessons, at his expense. she insists
upon playing classical stuff. When he comes home
home tired and asks for a little tune he gets nothing
but musical gymnastics, the Lafayette Journal informs
us.
The whole feminine part of the community. he
thinks, is in a conspiracy to uplift him, and he doesn't
want to be uplifted.
1t is just like father to make a complaint like
that. Father never did take kindly to culture. He
sits disconsolate in the draughty kitchen. while daugh-
ter's Browning Circle meets in the front room.
1t is mothers idea that he put on an uncomfortable
collar in the evening and hear a missionary lecture on
Borneo.
Fathers taste for music stops short at swanee
River, and he knows almost nothing about the minor
poets and the pre-RaphaeIites.
His art ideas are derived from the illustrated
Sunday Supplement. He will not sit in a Louis XVI
chair. He cares not a whit for the pottery of the
ancient Chaldeans.
Shirtsleeves and carpet slippers are his conception
OF correct evening dress for gentlemen.
There is little hope that anything permanent can
ever be done for father. When the millennium comes
he will still be found reading his newspaper. smoking
up the window curtains. impeding the advance Of cul-
ture-and paying the bills.

California, will introduce a resolution calling on the
President for an explanation OF General Pershing' order
permitting his men TO drink light wines and beer.
General Pershing is with his men in a foreign eli
mate and knows their requirements infinitely better
than Representative Randall or the Rev. L. c. Din
widdie.
We would like to see this fellow Dinwiddie lying
in a muddy Flanders trench all night with rats running
over him and the putrid leg of a German sticking up
out of the mud near his nose. his nerves shot to pieces
and in the cold dawn of a drizzling morning be ordered
to go over the top as described by Arthur Empey in
his book over the Top and then wonder whethe~ his
chattering frame would object to a little alcoholic
godsend.
OF course antisaloon leaguers would need no stimu-
liant. 1t is TO be hoped the fanatical spirit manifested
in the attack will be promptly rebuked.
The main argument advanced is that if General
Pershing can set aside such a law by a simple order.

manner breaking the law, we have de-

The facts are these: We ask all our

reasonable profit. If they prefer not
TO do so. we. on our part. prefer not to
