AUSTRALIA AWAKE TO NEEDS
People Beginning to Realize Necessity
for Changed Conditions for the
DwelIers in Cities.

In his presidential address to the
Australian town planning conference
held in Brisbane Mr.. J. d. Fitzgerald,
minister for local government and
health and for town planning, New
South Wales, said: eve have assem-
bled to plan out the destinies of Aus
tralian city dwellers. 1t is an unchal-
lengeable fact that our movement will
change the destiny of the urban pop
ulations, that our propaganda will
make our civic conditions better, our
city plans nobler, our citizens happier
and comfortable beyond the dreams Of
today; that our town planners de-
vices will save millions to the nation

Mace Mar on Dirt.

Dirt is sin, and it takes a bacteriolo-
gist to tell the difference between
clean dirt and dirty dirt. So we can
afford to take no chances. Unless we
cultivate cleanliness of mind and
body, cleanliness Of home, of city and
country, cellar and garnet, wharf and
shop, markets and roads, Of the air
we breathe, of the milk and water we
drink, and the food we eat, all the
serums and regulations of preventive
medicines will not save US. For health,
like morality, is more than an indr
vidual matter; it is a community af-
fair.

FORTUNE VANISHED IN NIGHT
enc in Mexico, Well Called Land
Of Revolutions.

The experiences Of an American
citizen in revolution-racked Mexico, in
which between two suns he fell from
a position of wealth and %afluence to
poverty, are told by w. A. King, i'm
porter Of snakes and wild animals
from that cactus country. Widely
known as the "Snake King" he makes
his headquarters in Brownsville, Tex,
where he is prominent in Masonic cir
cles. He was in Washington a few
days ago on business with the federal
government.
II lived for a huber of years in
Mexico" he said, land am one of the
Americans who can really appreciate
the genuine freedom Of u nation.
I had a unique experience there just
before Pershing invaded that country
on his hunt for Villa.
VI was in that section dominated
by the Villa bandits and anarchists
1 had in my personal possession more
than 100000 Of the Villa pesos, and
FROM the point of view of the Next
cans that sum of money made me q
milE onaire of influence.
g" went to bed one night with my
wealth strapped around me in 8
money belt. 1 awakened the next
morning and found that a military
and political break had taken place
between Villa and Carranza and I was
Il pauper.
"The 100000 in pesos were worth
less. l did not have the price Of a cuI
or coffee"

JUST LIKE TIMES OF PEACE
Correspondent Finds That in Warfare
at IL the "LittIe Things" Thai
Really Count.

! "A few hundred yards to the real we
came upon a soldier sitting on a stump.
From the waist up he was as naked as
a skinned rabbit. In his hand he held
his shirt turned inside out, and he was
studying the garment as intently as a
young son of one of the best families
stealing a chapter of a forbidden dime
novel. But the expression was more
that of a man digesting bad news.
"What are you doing, SOM" the cap
tain called out.
The soldier on the stump slowly
raised his eyes and looked us over. His
expression was that of a detached and
world-weary man breaking under the
burden of a secret sorrow. We didn't
seem to ease his mind much, for he
sighed deeply and returned to his in
tent inspection.
"I'm readin' over the personal col
umn O. my shirt to see if there were
any new arrivals las night" he an
swered the captains question finally.
II think I must be in a convention, the
way they're fockin' in on me. If I'd
been a small town a week ago, I'd be
a big city by now"
"Are you finding any?"
"Findin' any? / amt lost any yeti"
He raised his tired eyes and studied
me carefully.
"You're a newspaper reporter, amt
you?"

"You lookin' for news to print?"
"Sure."

fortune ever billet a whole army corps
o starvin' coolies on your personality
an leave 'em there to fatten up an
multiply an replenish your shirt?"
I've had 'em."
The soldier Immediately lost all in
ferest in me and took up his duties
anew.
"Goo.by," he mumbled. "If you've
had 'em, you know all the news there
lis to know around here"

When Mr.. Lloyd George used the ex-

took the idea from come Welsh

OSF0RD TOWNSHIP MAKES
RED CROSS ACRE REPORT

Nh. Editors:
l enclose a final statement of the
Red Cross acre account of SOsford
township.
MI. Emil Ehrhardt and Mr.. David B.
Robb composed the committee having
charge of the Red Cross acre work in
Osford township, much of it being
done by MI. David Robb because of his
being assessor of the township.
The committee secured twenty
nine pledges, composed as follows:
eighteen acres of wheat, w acres
of barley, one of flax, one of rye, and
one of oats. All of these pledges
have been paid and the moneys paid
over to the t~reasurers of the Red
Cross branches.
This is a splendid report of work
we'll done, and those in the township
who pledged and paid so promptly,
must feel a great satisfaction in this,
that they have so materially done
their part in the great world struggle
for liberty.
If the war council now in session at
Versailles will stand fairly for justice
and righteousness and a league of ma
lions is established that liberty shall
not die, and democracy shall prevail
in all the world, what each has done
shall not have been in vain.

payments, and distribution of the
moneys from this township:

Tho Ford Gold Mine

Henry Ford has demonstrated how
to make other men rich. Mayor James
Couzens took $500 investment In
the brains Of the automobile genius,
and gets S29,5oo.0OO as a result. For
the stock for which he paid q little
over a dollar share he now gets thou
sands Dor share. Also incidentally II
was his connection with the "flivver"
that made him mayor Of the city.
Was there ever more remarkable
case than this? A man with a mechan-
ical turn OF mind has an idea and has
confidence in himself. He has to enlist
others to get capital, and the result is
one of the most tremendous successes
In q monetary way of modern times.
Even moro remarkable than that
success, Is the sequel that this man
has to go Into the open market and
purchase back at the value Of his own
making, the fruits Of his own brains
paying In all over $1Os,000,000 foI
them. These figures show how diff
cult it is to gauge the possible achieve
nents of even a single individual with
an inventive brain.--Boston Post.

How lndianapoIi, Started.

We think of Washington as one OF
the artificial cities Of the world, city
that was deliberately made, but citizens
OF indianapolis are being told that they
are residents Of community the To-
cation Of which was chosen even more
artificially. This information comes to
them as the opening gun in a "See In
dianapolis First" campaign. In 1870,
It appears, the legislators Of the four
year old state Of Indiana decided that
the time had arrived for the selection
Of a site for a capital. To be perfect
ly fair they drew lines from corner to
corner Of the nlnp OF the state, ana
agreed to put the capital where tho
lines met. A committee Of them bade
their families goodbye and started to
find the place indicated on the map.
They found Il in the middle Of for.
est There was no road In the vicinity,
and as the national government had
given the state four sections Of unoc-
cupied land wherever 1t might choose,
the commission sat down on fall
len tree to talk the matter over. Fin
ally they decided upon a piece Of land
around the junction Of two streams.
which would help solve the difficulty
caused by the lack of roads. A little
hummock was selected as tho center
Of the, city. Their report was ac-
copied by the legislature, but tho
choice Of q name for the capital was
not 30 easy. In the end, an artificial
name was adopted for the artificial
city, which, however, unlike most stats
capitals was destined to become the
