DAD

the big world in the face squarely
he's Dad.
And you say: God bless him and
lead him into the happy road always
for there is no one, anywhere, quite
like dad"
Dad isn't much of a boaster-as Dad
and sometimes he isn't very beauti-
full as a picture, and maybe not very
many notice him as he walks along
the street and back home again. But
he's very wonderful-for he is kind

Lots of times he took you In his lap
when he was very tired and you were
very lonely, and after while you be.

his heart came warmth and rest to
you.
Give Dad plenty of creditor he
deserves it.
Maybe his walk is a little awkward

he isn't some special Beau BrummeI
But he is greater than anybody, just
the Same-for he's Dad!

Plant a Late Garden

e. e. RICE, GARDEN SUPERVISOR.
By planting the late garden now the
family table may be supplied with
vegetables all fall and winter. Too
many are OF the opinion that one

be made and brought to maturity be.

Some of the best gardeners consider
the early vegetable crop of the least
importance. They regard the midsea-
son and late vegetables as more val
liable, because the crops planted
toward the close of the summer help
load the table in fall and winter
/ 1t is a waste to allow rich garden
spots to remain idle after the early
crop has been harvester. There are
several crops that may be planted any
time between now and the last of
August. Liberal paintings should now
be made OF such crops as beets, car
rots. turnips, kohlrabi. winter radishes
lettuce, and spinach. Endive, Brussels
sprouts and most of the root crops may
be planted now. They thrive in the
fall because light frosts do not kill
them. Chicory is one Of the finest
salad crops of the year after il is frost

An example of the menace in this kind of
criticism is seen in the affairs of the municipal
light plant. This utility is one of the most valu
able municipality controlled plants in Indiana, a
money maker, and credit both to the city and
to the men who have administered its operation.
The deficit recently incurred was not due to
mismanagement, extravaganza, or a willful
squandering of the peoples money. In 1919 it
showed handsome profit, despite marked in
creases in the cost of coal and labor, two big
factors in the expenditures Of the plant The
board of works and the superintendent, gov
erned in their actions by the principle that
municipality owned utility is not operated solely
as a moneymaking venture, but as an institu-
ton whose sole function is to provide current at
reasonable rates, were rather slow in 1920, it
must be admitted, to that an increase in rates
would be necessary to enable the utility to earn
the profit it had shown in former years. AS a
result, the earnings of the plant were not able
to meet expenses, this condition becoming an
actuaty last week.
But soon those in authority became con-
WINGED of the necessity of a rate increase they
Immediately asked the Indiana public service
commission for permission to revise the rate
schedule The increased rates were granted, and
the plant will be able to show profit on it's in
vestment.
Citizens must keep in mind that the condi-
ton of the plants treasury as shown last week,
was not due to mismanagement or to waste of
the peoples money, but due solely to the
low rates, in which every citizen benefited to the
extent of the current which he used
To accuse the men responsible for the welfare
! of the plant of mismanagement, or even to hint
at corrupt practices in the administration of the
utility, is gross SANDER.
If citizen believes that irregularities are
taking place, let him go before the board of
works with his charges. The street corner is a
poor place to vent this sort of criticism. 1t is
unfair to the officials and to the taxpayers wht
virtually are owners of the plant.
Moderation in language is as much of a vir
tue as indiscreet condemnation, based on errone
GUS information, is vice.

Memories Of Old DAYS
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

After two years Of hard work state
educators believed that a bill provid-
ing for medical examiners in all
school communities would be passed.
Superintendent T. A Mott, of the
Richmond public schools, said: "Medi-
cal examiners in schools, will go a
great way toward improving the gen.
eral state of health. Although Rich
mond suffers little from a very poor
class there are cities in the state
which have such. To these free exam
ination Of pupils would mean much u
Nimrod Johnson, superintendent OF
the Municipal Hight plant, said that
no meters would be used for the lights
at the chautauqua, but that a flat
rate would be charged. He said that
no attempt to make a profit on the
lights would be made.

The Necessity of Cooperation in Municipal
Affairs

Last weeks developments in the municipal
government of Richmond proved conclusively
the absence of cooperation between departments
and the necessity for reform in this particular
But there is also revealed sinister element
that for months has been making serious
charges or yelled intimations against the integ-
rity of some public officials.
The time has come when a halt must be called
to this method of undermining confidence in the
officials to whom we have entrusted our city af-
fairs.
If men are in possession of facts, or believe
they have knowledge of an irregularity in the
administration Of municipal business, they
should make these charges before the city attor-
ney, the board of works, or the city council,
openly and manfully.
1t does not bespeak high sense of morals to
make charges before small groups Of men, pri-
vately and sometimes secretly. If there is any
truth in the accusation, the city should be in
formed of it, and the only place in which this
can be done is before the city's officials.
City officials are prone to err. They do not
claim for themselves AVAILABILITY of judgment
but they do assert positively that honesty and
candor mark their execution of public business
We believe that the citizens as a whole do not
doubt the honesty and integrity of their public
officials
But this confidence will be shaken and ult
mately destroyed if coterie of men malicously
and purposely casts aspersions at every act Of
the administration and intimates in yelled Ian
guage that public business is not transacted
above board and in strict accord with the high
est principles of honesty.

Two elderly spinsters live in the

before they both feel the "kick"-or

Now those two dear souls are regu.

they used to be. The brownstone
