The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-10-05

Richmond never has been backward in stag
ing beautiful professions and enlisting the par
ticipation of it's benevolent, civic, fraternal bust
ness and industrial organizations.
Sometimes the impression prevails that we
are slackers in civic affairs and cannot be
aroused to high pitch of enthusiasm But a
glance backward to some of the beautiful COM
munity celebrations that have been held here
bellies the thought.
Few cities in Indiana, if any, staged patriotic
parades that approached in elaborateness and
general participation the professions that were
held here during the war. The pageantry that
accompanied former Fall Festival celebrations
not only was elaborate and beautiful, but also
included floats and marching bodies from almost
every organization in the city.
The Armistice Day celebration will demon
strate again that the spirit of Richmond is keenly
alive to every proposition that invites general
participation.
The response that greeted the first sugges-
ton Of the celebration by the Central Labor
Council is evidence of the abiding love of our
citizenship for this community and of it's willing
ness to manifest it in visible FORM
1t is an indication of healthy and virile pub
JIG life that is responsive to every call of good
citizenship. Many city would be proud to claim
as of it's distinctive characteristics the demo-
cratic and cooperative spirit that has mani
tested itself time and again in this community

Saving Our Shade Trees

City Engineer Davis has called attention to
the presence of the hickory BEETLE, pest which
win destroy our shade trees if we do not begin to
fight it at once. Fortunately the trees in our
parks so far have been spared the ravages OF the
beetle, and precautions are being taken to pre-
vent its inroads.
Richmond has a priceless possession in the
hundreds of shade trees that line it's streets.
Few cities in this state have as many stately
trees in the parking strips, or as many young
trees planted by owners of homes.
Our forefathers understood the practical and
ornamental value of trees. They let trees stand
where they did not interfere with streets and
sidewalks, and as soon a street was laid out
lined it with trees. We are enjoying the herit-
age they created for us.
And with pardonable pride we can say that
we have not departed from the ways of our faith
crs. Wherever you may go in Richmond, you
will find saplngs, planted by owners of property,
which in a few years will have attained suffl-
Gent growth to be ornamental for the streets
and to afford shade for the occupants of the
home.
Our interest in trees cannot lag Neither can
we afford to permit pests to destroy the trees
that have been set out. If you notice that pest
is attacking them, communicate with the city
engineer, who will be glad to cooperate with you
in saving the trees.

D0n'tSpOil' a Good
Meal With aBad
Stomach

1t is really a pitiful sight to see so
many thousands of people worrying
about what they can eat and what
they can't eat
Dyspeptics, they call themselves, but
they stretch the imagination when
they do it.
All these people need to make them
healthy, cheerful and of sound appetite
is box of Mona Tablets.
The stomach of a dyspeptic is over
worked and run down. 1t needs help
to digest the food, but more than that
it needs a prescription that will
cleanse, renovate, strengthen and put
elasticity into the stomach walls.
Mona is the prescription that will
do this and do it so promptly that
you'll wonder why you didn't try it
before.
1t stops belching of gas and distress
after eating in five minutes. 1t is IN
doubtedly the greatest stomach tonic
ever. given to the public by specialist
in stomach diseases.

CRAWFORD DELIVERS
SPEECH TO FARMERS
IN Center TOWNSHIP
Bv WILLIAM r. SANBORN.

Farmers of Center township met at
the Centerville town hall in regular
monthly session on Monday night.
The membership was literally repre-
scented and the session interesting.
The first year of the Wayne fedora
ton is now coming to a close; there
is a drive for members right ahead,
and in view of that fact it was deemed
best to defer the election of officers
for the coming year until after the
roundup, in order to give the new
members a chance to do a little voting
on Monday night, November 1.
Earl Crawford, of Milton, was the
speaker. Mr.. Crawford is state deputy
for the Sixth district, and is now de-
voting nearly all Of his time to feder-
alton work. He is an earnest adVo-
cate of cooperation and a student OF
the farmers problems and their most
feasible solution.

He presented his views and told or

membership, which was some task and
also of vital importance, as in num-

aimed to accomplish. The member
ship now exceeds 10000. The speaker
stated that Hamilton county has re-

Today S Talk
In the Midst of the Elements that
Build Us.
BY George Matthew Adams

In the Midst OF the Elements thdt
Build Us.
We daily send out our thoughts and
live our little lives in the midst OF
moments that others dozen hundreds
of years ago bathed their thoughts IN
and lowered their bodies about.
In thes midst of elements that bulld
us. we strive and learn and gain our
small rewards-then, bowling, we hear
the echo of applause that others nave
long ago heard, and pass to our dress
ing rooms-beyond the play.
For, after all, I'VE are of such STUFF
as dreams are made, and our little lie
is rounded in a sleep.
We love, work, laugh, weep, wonder.
In the deliciousness of experience we
make our moves and then wait till the
other fellow makes his. We know that
we are frail and that We are but dust
existing for a little time in borrowed
bodies-but across the horizon OF our
homes, there flashes an eternal sign
which tells lis that we are as immortal
as the stars!
To the troubled heart I would say:
"Never stop being glad that YOU are
here in this world-even tho it is for
but a brief fash as compared with the
running years that have forever run.
In the midst Of the elements that
huild YOU. YOU are as a mother. wake
fu1 at the dead of night, for the love
of the one whom she has borne.

Nature cries,
Ev'n in our ashes live our wonted
fires,'

Officials of Federation
Meet Wednesday Epeninq

The directors and officials Of the
Wayne federation will meet at the
county agents office in the courthouse,
on Wednesday evening, to perfect
final arrangements for the membership
drive. A hot campaign is planned and
all the printed matter to facilitate the
work will be distributed at the meet
ing. Every farmer is welcome to attend
and it is hoped that a large number
will be- present.
The idea of three-year signatures
will come up; as the federation is not
for day or a year, but permanency.
1t is thought, however, that this matter
will be left to the individual townships
to settle, but there is much sentiment
in favor of the three-year membership
plan. as is the rule in some other
states.

BREEDERS OF PURE
LIVE STOCK GATHER

A meeting to discuss the advisable
ity of forming a Wayne county Breed
ers association, will be held in the
town hall in Centerxville, Wednesday
evening. Representative from Rich
mond business organizations and clubs
will meet in conjunction with the
members of the Swine Breeders asso-
citation.
The. chef topic Of discussion will
be the formation of a society that will
foster the breeding Of all kinds of
pure-bred stock. The advisability Of
buying Or leasing tract of land near
Richmond, where stock shows and ex-
hibits can be held, will also be taken
up, according to Walter Fulghum, sec
rotary of the Swine Breeders associa-
ton.
Business men of Richmond have be-
come enthusiastic over the esta blish-
ment of a showing place near here for
stock. 1t has been pointed out that
several of the smaller towns in Wayne
county have held successful exhibits,
most of them having a larger entrance
and attendance than their facilities
, could take care Of, as a result of this
condition it is planned to make Rich
mond the center for the county and
construct a place large enough and
suitable for the county exhibits.
| 1t is suggested by those interested
in the project that the pure-bred
stock exhibits could be held along
with the big fall festival, that is being
planned for next year. In this way
insuring close cooperation between

Registration and Voting

It may seem far cry from registration day
to election day, but it may not be amiss to say
that good citizen not only enrolls his name so
that he may vote, but he also goes to the polls
election day to cast his ballot.
Registration makes voter eligible to cast
his ballot but it remains with the elector to ex-
ercise the privilege.
In this election momentous questions, involv-
ing the veal and woe of the nation, it's national
destiny, and the consequent happiness Of it's
citizens are at issue.
The issues will be decided by the voters.
Hence every eligible voter should go to the polls
to cast his vote There is no partisan exhorta-
ton in this appeal. 1t is the performance of a
duty which every voter owes to himself and his

unlocked, which may mean much or
little, depending, of course, upon a
great many things.
1t is doubtful whether we will ever
have a woman president, for the rea-
son that the constitution provides that
a president must be thirty-five years
old.
One way to catch a murderer is to
publish a picture of his 1O-ccnt watch
chain. That is one of the poorest
ways. 1t is liable to fasten suspicion
on almost any man these days.
