" 7HY has not the armistice
w brought about a reduction
in food prices? Will they
go still higher, or is there any hope
for reduction in prices in the near
future? The government reports
that the increase in the prices Of
staples has been So cents on the dol

foods only have increased II cents
on the dollar.
Higher wages are sometimes more
an excuse than a cause for the high

When one talks to "authorities" and
big men" in the various food lines
We find that almost every set will
have some different reason for the
increased prices. The Tribune In

eggs than it is with the trade in
many other lines Of food and an an
alysis Of the causes for the unpre-
cedented prices in these foods will be
interesting to the intelligent folks
who prefer to hear unpleasant facts
rather than pleasant fancies and
who want plain reasons rather than
plausible excuses.
Consider the eggs. 1t is during
the spring and early summer
months that the greatest produc-
ton Of eggs occurs, that egg prices
drop and vast quantities of cold

The Punishment for Anarchy

General approval is given by citizens who be-
leve in the preservation of law and order to the
sentence Of death imposed upon Coffin, who at
tempted to kill Premier Clemenceau.
The origin of anarchy is not always attribut-
able to social order which, it is alleged, does not
permit man to make living wage. Coffin, &C.
cording to the evidence, had shown himself cap
able of earning 1925 day. The motive for his
deed therefore, cannot be traced to hunger and
privation but is to be looked for in his moral
makeup which, according to the evidence.
showed "he was DESTROYS of destroying every
thing because he found society badly organized"
Coffin was not driven to violence by morbid
introspection of his own sad plight, but bHazenly
used the principles of anarchy to commit crime
against the social state, which is organized for
the protection of every man individually and for
all of us collectively The great men of this world
and the common run of us seek to improve con-
ditions as we find them in our environment. Men
of Cottins type are bent destroying every
thing without offering a substitute that will
make society safer and the world a better place
in which to live.
Anarchists, the l. w. w. and the Bolshevists
are like residing in house, who, because
they do not like the architecture of the structure,
apply the torch to the edifice. They do not stop
to think that they themselves well as the other
truction. The social structure must be protected
against anarchists and fanatics. If these men
do not like the social state as constituted, they
have no right to destroy everything because it
does not suit their fancy.

natural birthrights.
There are being maintained in the orphans
homes Of the state about 1000 children for whom
good family homes are desired We believe that
for every homeless child that is physically and
mentally normal there is some good home ready
and able to receive it and give to It the love,
and training of which it has been deprived
through no fault of its own. Many of them are
of the impressionable age-between and IL
years old. They want homes. They want kind,
sympathetic, patient foster fathers and mothers
who will help them to grow into useful citizen
ship. The citizens of our state and the public
officials can render most useful service by help
ing secure homes for these unfortunate children.
Figures in the office Of the Board of State
Charities show that many thousand children have
had advantage of foster homes in past years.
About 5000 of them are in family homes at the
present time under supervision, while many
others have been legally adopted These children
are having restored to them their right to nor
NAL life and training and in return are bringing
happiness to many foster parents.
The 1000 children in orphans homes are long
ing for like opportunity. Will you help them :?

The Red Cross Wants Cast Off Clothing

Long appeals to the benevolence of the cit-
zens of Richmond are not in order. The Red
Cross is asking for cast off clothing to warm the
poverty stricken people of northern France and
Belgium.
The statement should suffice to produce every
piece of wearing apparel that is not in use. Old
dresses and suits hanging in the closets gather
ing dust in the attics should be taken to the Red
Cross headquarters at once
Thousands of refugees and other thousands
Of soldiers are returning to their homes. Many
of them find nothing but ruins where once stood
their cottages. They find their families shiver-
ing for want of warm clothing. The industrial
REIMBURSEMENT has not progressed far enough to
permit them to make the necessary purchases,
and, if they have a small supply of money the
price of clothing is so high that it is beyond their
purchasing ability.
Richmond has shown it's generosity by more
than one signal act in the last four years Here
is an appeal that should be needed at once

I beneficial. Lime has the effect OF
! loosening and pulverizing any heavy
clay soil, and of binding loose, sandy
! soils. Lime also corrects any sour
! ness in the soil due to lack of drain
! age, but in a case Of this kind proper
drainage should be secured.
Lime should always be applied tC
the surface, and in no case should il
| be put on the land at the same time as
! commercial fertilizer.
The proper method would be to
spread the lime upon the land just
after blowing and before narrowing
then apply the commercial fertilizer
one week later. Under no circum-
stances should lime be mixed with
commercial fertilizer or manure, as
it liberates the nitrogen from them
The cleanings from the poultry
house are valuable as a garden fertil-
izer, and these should be saved in
barrels or some other receptacle
where they can be kept reasonably
dry until they are spread upon the
garden. This class of fertilizer is very
rich and liable to burn the plants if
applied in too great quantities or in
direct contact with the roots of the
plants.
Preparation Saves Work.
The work of cultivating the garden
will be greatly reduced if special at
tention is given to the thorough prep
aration of the soil before any seeds
are planted In spading the land it
should be turned over in small slices
and thoroughly pulverizer with the
edge Of the spade. No amount of
raking of the surface will result in
pulverizing the lower strata of soil un-
less this is done as it is turned over.
In soils that are easy to handle, a
4-tine spading fork is to be preferred
to an ordinary spade, because it
breaks up the soil and pulverizes it
to better advantage.
The home gardeners of England
take great pains in the preparation of
their garden soils even going to the
extent of throwing the surface soil to
to the subsoil to depth of IA or 16
inches. After the subsoil is so treated
the surface soil is replaced and great
quantities of decayed manures mixed
with it. This process is known as
''trenchirg" and has the effect of car
rying the crops through the drouth
period in much better manner than
where the soil is not broken so deeply.
Preparation of soil and application
of fertilizer is discussed in further de-
tail in garden bulletin of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
free on request.

Activity Begets Activity

Reports from all over the country bring proof
that the business sense of the nation is behind q
movement to push plans for the construction OF
new roads, the building of hotels, apartments
and dwelling houses.
The Manufacturers Record says, "The central
thought in this movement is that patriotic mot
ives demand an immediate resumption of indus
try wherever it can be accomplished, notwith-
standing the possibility that some lines of mater
lal and supplies may show slight decrease in
price later on. 1t is true that improved methods
and new materials have resulted already in a saw
ing cost in some instances, and also the statement
is made that building material in general is sold
at a smaller margin of profit than before the
war"
There is no use discounting the fact that the
only way to augment building operations is by
getting contracts and going to work Activity in
one line is always reflected in another, and acti-
witty in one branch of business begets activity in
others Conditions may not be entirely ideal
right now in every respect, but nevertheless a
big drop in the price of materials and labor need
not be expected within the near future.

THE REASON.
Several centuries ago
a crime was committed in Rome,
Which attracted much attention
At that time and was given
A scare head in the Rome Index"
A gentleman by the name of Caesar
Julius Caesar, in fact,
Was set upon by his friends
And was stabbed in the Forum,
The forum being a vital spot.
His best friend, a guy named Brutus
Put on the finishing touches.
They gave sine sort Of excuse
At the time, we believe.
They did it not because they
Loved Uncle Julius less
But Rome more
But that wasn't the true reason.
The reason, we firmly believe,
Was because Uncle julius,
In a grouchy moment,
When he had had a dull evening
In the Appian cabaret,
And things were not breaking right,
Became aggrieved against humanity
And invented the month OF March
And put it in the calendar.

is not feasible to plow the land, spad
ing Will have to be resorted to. In
| fact, United States Department OF
Agriculture specialists believe a good
job of spading is better in the long
run than blowing, and, while it re-
quires larger amount of hard labor
the work can be done at odd times
and will not prove burdensome.
There are cases, however, where
the land is SO hard that it can be
neither plowed nor spaded, and about
! the only method Of breaking it up is
by the use of pick or matock.
| This would seem like an impossible
proposition from garden standpoint,
| but, on the other hand, hundreds of
splendid city gardens have been
grown on just such land. In some
cases the rocks removed from the
soil have been sufficient to construct
fence around the outside of the
| garden.
Fine, Fertilzed Soil Essential.
The essential in preparing diff
cult piece of land for garden is to
get the soil broken up fine to a depth
: of 8 to 10 inches and to incorporate
with it considerable quantity of stable
or barnyard manure. The supply of
manure in cities is now limited, and
gardeners should make early arrange
ments for the amount they will need
Assuming that the average backyard
garden will be about 80 by 60 to 40
by 80 feet in size, it is safe to recon-
mend the application CT one large two
horse load of manure to each garden.
In some cases vacant city lots have
been used as a dumping ground for
manure and no additional fertiliza-
ton will be required. This is the ex-
ception, however, and as a general
rule it will be necessary to apply fer
tilizing material to the land.
Wood Ashes Valuable.
Gardeners frequently inquire as to
the advisability of using coal and
wood ashes on garden soils. The use
of coal ashes is permissible on heavy
clay soils. However, they should be
screened before being applied, and
then should be spread evenly over the
surface and thoroughly mixed with
the soil as deep as it is plowed or
spaded. Coal ashes have little value
as fertilizer, their use being mainly

workable. Wood ashes, especially
those produced by burning hardwoods
like hickory or oak, frequently con-
tain as high as Z per cent potash, and
are valuable fertilizers. Those pro

as pine. and also hardwood ashes that

C0yrecfs Article
on Moving of
Courthouse

Editor Palladium:
In your issue of Tuesday, the ques-
ton, when was the court house
moved to Richmond" is asked, and
correctly answered, so far as the year
of the removal of the county seat is
concerned. but incorrect and mislead-
ing as to some things that occurred at
that time. I was a county official at
the time of that eventful epoch in
our county history and hope that you
| will pardon my presumption, il it be
such, in offering to enlighten you on
some things that did not occur, as
well as events that did transpfre.
The court house was not moved to
,, Richmond at all, but was destroyed
by fire a few years ago. The state
! ment Of the length of time the county
seat was in CentervilIe is certainly
short several years, and that Abram
Ernest, George W. Barnes and Thorn
as Nestor, a committee to secure op-
lions on the court house square were
retired farmers will make their old
associates smile Except A Ernest,
who was a retired tailor, they were
active business men here for several
years after the county seat removal.
But these are minor criticisms. The
last paragraph is decidedly mislead-
ing, and conveys to the mind of the
reader the idea that physical force
was employed by Richmond to wrest
the county seat from Centerville, and
that Centerville resisted in kind to the
extent OF firing shots. Such a state
ment is very extravagant and unjust,
as no physical force was used by Rich
mOnd to compel Centerville to give
up the county seat, nor by Center
Vile to retain it, except that when the
order was made for us to move,
train of express wagons came from
Richmond to haul the records and Of
fee fixtures away.
The people, who were applying to
Judge Geo. \. Johnson for a restrain
ing order, closed and barred all en-
frances TO the court house square I'M
til they heard from the court, who
granted the temporary Injunction and
fixed day for the hearing. The wag
ons sent to move us returned home
empty as they came, and no one was
molested nor were there any shots
fired on this occasion. A few days
later Judge Johnson heard the case
and decided in favor of Richmond, and
the records and Office fixtures were
quietly moved to Richmond, some of
the citizens Of Centerville assisting.
And the county offices and court bust
ness was completely transferred to
Richmond.
Sometime afterward a party of
workmen were taken over to Center
vile to dismantle the jail in order
that the cells, etc, might be moved
to the new Jail in Richmond. They
were quartered in the sheriff's resi-
dence and some persons, to have some
excitement or fun. possibly both. Sc
cured little Fourth of July cannon
from Arlington, loaded it with
charge of powder, slugs, ETC., and in
the stillnes Of the night awoke the
slumberlng workmen with a shot that
crashed through the front door, dam
aging it. No one was injured. Some
pistol shot may have been fired at this
time, but not when the county seat
was moved.

One Of the first obstacles encount-
cred by most town gardeners is In
breaking up and preparing the soil,
but the difficulty is far from insur-
mountable.
The farmer has teams and plows
and he can very easily prepare his
garden, but in the city it is hard to
obtain a plowman, and in most cases
the garden area is SO small as to make
it difficult to work a team. Where il
