Old Memories

The interest which young and old readers are
showing in the short articles pertaining to the
organization of Richmond institutions and to
events in early history indicates that the love
of old memories is not dead in our hearts.
Wayne county and Richmond are rich in his
torical matter and folk lore and in not few in
cidents of state and national significance. An
old family album containing photographs of per-
sons long since dead has an enduring charm for
the later generations. And so also has a recital
of events that transpired twenty-five and fifty
years ago. Good citizens never tire of reading
about affairs that shaped public opinion and were
formative of institutions and organizations.
This community just now is in a transition
period. The men and women who were active in
the Civil War days and in the founding of the in
dustrial and commercial strength of our city are
rapidly being called into the beyond They are
the only ones who have a first hand knowledge of
many events that took place years ago, and the
only way these memories can be handed down to
posterity, so that they may be Incorporated in
the historical archives of the county, is by their
publication through the public press.
For that reason the Palladium is very anxious
to obtain contributions from these old men and
women on any of the many incidents of which
this generation knows nothing or has only a frag-
mentary and very hazy knowledge. If our old
readers will find time to write short articles
about these affairs, the Palladium will deem it
privilege to print them so that they will become
accessible to the public generally. A number of
contributions of this kind have been received and
have provoked great interest among the readers.
The Palladium hopes that this appeal for con-
tributions on the early history Of Richmond, its
many interesting personages, the founding of its
churches, schools, factories business houses and
enterprises, whether they are still extant or out
of existence, will be needed No incident, no mat
ter how insignificant or small, will be overlooked
The old citizens of the community are the last
link between Richmond of today and Richmond of
the Civil war period.

When was First
Warranty Deed
DrQzvn Here?

one hundred and eight years ago
this spring, the first warranty deed
was entered upon the books of Wayne
County, Indiana Territory" The date
is March II, 1911.
The deed was for POI acres of the
choicest Wayne county land, and the
consideration was 1925. The seal on
the deed was made by the simple trick
OF drawing an irregular circle with
the pen and writing the word Seal
inside. The paper was ordinary writ
ing paper, thin but of fine quality.
/ The 2O1 aces were transferred from
John Townsend and Eliza Townsend
to Samuel Woods. The wife could not
write and signed the deed with cross
for her mark.
Indiana Territory, Wayne County:
know all men by these presents that
we. John Townsend and wife, of the
county and territory aforesaid for and
in consideration of the sum of 1852
to us in hand paid by Samuel Woodz,
have bargained, granted, and released
and by these presents do grant, bar
gain, sell and release, to the same
Samuel Woods, all that plantation and
tract of land situate in the county
aforesaid on the waters of White
water, in range the second, west of Il
meridian drawn from the mouth of
the Great Miami, township the thir-
teenth, section the first, and south
west part Of said section, containing
200 and one acres being part of A
tract beginning nine chains or links.

When My Prescription Goes in, Rheu.
matism Goes Out Along with All
Poisonous Uric Acid, Says
Discoverer James
n. Allen

BECAUSE he was crippled with ter
rible rheumatism and unable to work
and because doctors failed to help him
Mr. James II. Allen of Rochester de-
cided to help himself
Persistent study, ceaseless patience
and frequent experiments convinced
him that before anyone could be free
from rheumatism the poisons and i'm
purities often called uric acid deposits
must be dissolved in the joints, liga-
ments and muscles and expelled from
the system
1t took some years to get this idea
into the form of a prescription, but
perseverance finally conquered and in
very short period every pain and
twinge and trace of rheumatism was
forced to flee and Mr.. Allen turned
himself from a rheumatic wreck into
a strong, healthy, robust man.
So pleased was he with his success
that he named this wonderful medicine
Allenrhu. Many others cursed with
the agony of rheumatism tried it with
results that were almost magical.
Requests for Allenrhu became so
numerous that a decision was reached
to let sufferers know of the discovery
through the newspapers and now drug
giSts throughout the country dispense
the Allenrhu prescription, or can get
it for you on short notice.-Adv.

site end provided with three No. or
No. 8 box nails or wire brads. This
little homemade implement can be
used very soon after a rain to loosen
the surface, so that any small seeds
can break through. The wheel-hoe
outfits are provided with a number of
different shovels and scratchers adapt
ed for the different types of work to
be performed. These implements
have the advantage that one can go
over the garden very rapidly and
break up the surface Of the soil in a
comparatively short time. 1t is gen.
orally necessary, however, to follow
with the hoe to remove any weeds
that have not ben destroyed by the

Kill Weeds Young.
1t should be borne in mind that the
time to kill weeds is when they are
just coming through the ground. If
allowed to become established, it is
much more difficult to get rid of them
than if they are taken in time. If the
top two inches Of soil is kept continu-
ously and thoroughly loosened, no Sc
rious difficulty in keeping out weeds is
probable.

Why and How Garden
Should be Cultivated

Most people have an idea that gar
dens are cultivated solely for the pur-
pose of killing weeds. AS matter
OF fact, the killing of weeds is just one
object of garden cultivation, say the
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The roots
or plants require air just the stame
as do the tops, and if the ground is
packed or hard or is sunbaked over
the surface after a beating rain, the
roots OF the plants cannot get air, and
for that reason the plants will turn
yellow, and If not cared for will die;
the same thing is true where the land
is poorly drained and waterlogged.
The water keeps out the air and the
roots cannot feed the plants.
Cultivation has another object, in
that 1t breaks up the soil particles and
makes plant food available for the
feeding rootlets of the plants. Many
persons, however, make the mistake
of cultivating too deeply, and by so
doing cut off or injure the feeding
rootlets and deprive the plant of it's
source of nourishment and support
frequent shallow cultivation during
dry weather results in the formation
OF layer Of fine dust which serves
as Il mulch or blanket to retain mois-
ture.
Cultivation After Rains.
The soil should always be cultivated
just as soon as it is sufficiently dry to
be safely worked after heavy rains.
II it is not cultivated, crust forms,
the surface bakes and the crops are
injured. The same will apply where
irrigation is used, and it has been
found best to give the soil a thorough
soaking, then cultivate as soon as it
Is dry enough and apply no more
Waer until absolutely necessary.
The hoe and the steel rake are the
most important tools for cultivating
the small garden. On a larger scale
a wheel hoe and horse cultivator
may be used to advantage. Even
where horse-drawn tools are occasion
ally used, the greater part of the work
especially during dry weather, may be
performed by means of a common
steel rake. 1t is not necessary to 90
very deeply into the soil, but merely
stir the surface.
Tool That Helps.
A handy little tool for loosening the
soil can be made from a piece of thin
board two inches wide and fourteen

quire the foundations of life. The home is the
anchor. Own it."
Men in all walks of life are beginning to real
ize that America needs more home owners who
look upon their homes as did the old Anglo-Sax-
ons, namely as their castles. Our forefathers
believed in the home and many of the civil liber-
ties for which the Anglo-Saxons fought had to
do with the protection of their homes against
seizure, search and intrusion by the tyrants.
This love for the home has persisted in the race
to this day. The Gown Home Movement is a
powerful stimulus toward strengthening this
feeling.

The Own a Home Movement

Richmond is among the cities that is fostering
Gown A Home" movement. Encouragement
should be given this project, for home owners
usually are ideal citizens. The home links the
citizen with the welfare of the community and
makes him doubly interested in all public affairs.
The home owner strives for the welfare of
his city, state and nation. Men and women who
reside in their own homes are not going to pay
much attention to the long haired soap box
orator who is trying to plunge the country into
bolshevism and to make out of the United States

and conditions that approach the ideal in civic
