though he had spent two hours the
evening before working out a nice
logical speech that would convince
the whole high school of the need
for a student council.
Jeffries was a leader and always
would be, because he knew what to
do at critical times. 1t was his big
quality. quality of real leader.
ship.
When everyone had recovered
from his surprise, a big murmur
started. Tom Talmadge arose.
"Jeffries is right" he said, II am
back of him"
1t was enough. The members of
the Khan began to fall in line. Art
had won his cause without ever
presenting it. In few minutes
he found himself elected president
of the new Oakdale High School
Council, and there were cries Of
Speech! Speech"
Art made a short speech. 1t was
remarkable how the spirit of the
whole school was changed.
Tub Perkins arose when he had
finished. "M-M-Mr. P-P-President,"
he s-s-spluttered, II m-m-move that
we ask Coach Murray to l-l-let
George and Art back on the
t-t.team." There was wild applause
and the motion passed with a vol
ley of cheers.
OF course, Coach Murray did it,
and into the next game the team
went with a bang. Jeffries had
lost none of his brilliancy, and Tai
madge none of his speed. Both
played with a new kind of deter
mination and pep. The team could
not be stopped. OF course it was
a victory.
The two defeats were forgotten,
and the season hurried on to a
victorious close.
In the meantime Art Billings
and his student council we're busy.
New things were on foot in that
high school, one of which was a
big party to be held on the night of
the last game, the Saturday before
Thanksgiving.
Was it a party? Well. I guess
yes.
And, where? In the headquar-
tiers of the departed Klimacks
Khan in a room that the members
of the Khan had dedicated as the
club room to be managed under the
of the council.
The room was crowded with
boys and girls, and with happiness.

hear the boys shouting and splash

Nanny. 'and see what have found.

Billy went and after smelling the

Nanny.

~ was a Cad" Admits Jeffries, Ad-
vocating High School Council.

~ was Cao, AomitS JeltTicS, AZ
vocating High School Council.
1t was an angry and ill-tempered
bunch of students that gathered in
the assembly hall of Oakdale High
next morning. From the talk that
could be heard in the corridors OF
the building before hand, a stran-
ger would have made up his mind
that the students of that school
were about the worst bunch OF
knockers he had ever seen.
Henry Weatherby's unsteady,
old voice was more pathetic than
usual. He felt that the trouble
which had arisen in the school was
a personal disgrace to him and a
stain on the honor of the whole
Weatherby family, family that,
for generations. had been proud OF
the high standing of its educators.
Lets talk things over, my good
young people" with this Old
Henry ended his brief remarks.
Tom Talmadge looked around the
room. In their seats the members
of the Klimacks Khan sat and
glowered. He knew them every
one, and he wondered how any one
else could help but spotting at
once by the unusually mean looks
on their faces the entire member
ship of that one-time secret and
powerful organization.
George Jeffries' face alone he
couldn't see. Jeffries was looking
at his desk.
There was a silence. Everybody
was waiting. Then. at just the
same instant, two fellows got up.
Old Henry turned his specialized
eyes from one to the other. On
one side of the room he saw Art
Billings and on the other he saw
George Jeffries. Few looked at
Billings, all eyes were turned on
the now notorious Jeffries.
Fellows and girls" he began,
and Art sat down to listen, we've
acted like a bunch of cads-I more
than anyone else. What has it
done for us? We are bringing dis
grace on our school. Our team is
being defeated. 1t Is time that this
school gets together.
1.-THE other evening Art Billings
was talking to me. l was mad then
and didn't care about it, but, when
/ got to thinking it over, decided
that Art is right, dead right. What
we need is a high school council,
one big Khan, instead of little
one and a lot of cliques besides. /,
for one, am for it and l think that
Art Billings is the man to take
charge"

The Proposed $275,OOO Bond Issue


The necessity of floating bond issue to pro-
vide funds for the installation of new equipment
in the municipal light plant is recognized by
every citizen who wants the assurance Of con-
tinuous service for domestic and power consump-
tion.
question has arisen as to the interest rate
and the maturity date of the bonds.
The money market is high. Municipalities,
despite the attractiveness of their bonds, with
features of tax exemption, security and market
ability, cannot borrow money at the old rate
Strongly entrenched corporations, such as the
Pennsylvania railroad, for instance, had to offer
per cent on their bond issues before investors
would absorb them. Richmond will have to offer
the issue at per cent to make them attractive
The proposal to let the issue run for Is years
before retirement has met with opposition. 1t is
held, and rightly so, by some members Of city
council and citizens, that five-year bond issue
would find ready market, and save the city a
big sum Of money on interest payments.
The 15-year issue at per cent would cost
the municipality about $157 900, it is estimated.
This is considerable sum of money. Support
ers of the 15-year plan overlook changes in the
money market that may arise in the lapse of this
period If money rates should be restored to a
pre-war basis, or near it, a heavy interest
debt, avoidable by the five-year plan, would be
saddled on the municipality.
The five-year plan should at least be tried be-
fore the city authorities float the bonds for Is
year term per cent basis. If investors
will not accept the bonds, the way will still be
open to lengthen the time of their maturity.
The finances of the municipal light plant are
not in robust condition to warrant the fixing
of bonds at high rate of interest with a long
maturity. AS predicted by the Palladium many
months ago, the operation of the plant must be
conducted on a very economical basis this year
to avoid a big deficit in operating expenses. An
increase in rates for domestic and power con-
sumption is inevitable. These rates must newt
ably be increased still higher to meet interest
charges period of Is years.

building to be erected on the campus.
The board has also decided to erect
additions to the library and the chemi-
cal building to cost $4,000 and $4,000,
respectively. The State of Ohio will
be asked to appropriate 100000 for
the erection Of another dormitory for
girls. Action upon the erection of
Ogden Hall, for which 100000 was
left several years ago by Mrs. Laura

The Sale of The American Seeding Machine
Company's Plant Here

The absorption of the Richmond plant of the
American Seeding Machine company by the In
ternational Harvester company, announced to-
day, will be great surprise to many as the de-
tails of the negotiations were not known until
the sale had been consummated.
And withal it is happy surprise and one
that will be warmly appreciated. The industry
has been long established here and its executive
heads and owners have contributed their share
toward the industrial expansion of Richmond.
They have been public spirited and keenly alert
in developing civic pride.
James Carr has found time to take an active
interest in municipal affairs and for many years
has been an able counselor in civic movements
that sought the bringing of new factories to this
city. During the war he was called to Washing
ton where, as member of the allied purchasing
commission, his services were so highly regarded
that the French government deemed him worthy
of receiving a medal of honor.
Richmond is fortunate in having him remain
here as head of the plant under the owners
From an industrial standpoint, the sale will
make the plant unit of corporation that is one
of the strongest manufacturing industries in the
United States. Richmond will benefit immense
ly by the alliance. The plant gives employment
to men the entire year and does not lie idle for
many months, as some industries do.

Today's Talk
IMAGINATIVE MEN
BY George Matthew Adams

Someone has said that Imagination
rules the world. And when we realize
that it is men who rule the world, and
that each man in turn is ruled by his
imagination, we find it easy to accept
this statement-and believe that imag
ination does really rule the world
The builder is always an imaginative
man. And whether this imagination
takes the form of thinking out a set
OF characters, scenes and actions for
a book, or whether its form is that of
figures and lines and diagrams for the
building of a bridge or a town-the
vision of the plan, coupled with the
action necessary to bring it about, is
what accOmplishes the result.
All men of action are imaginative
men. But not all imaginative men are
men Of action.
If you want your imagination to
count for something, it must do busi-
ness.
The big doors of the world have al.
ways been great imaginators, but men
of few words and simple instructions.
The big plan mattered most to them.
It took the Imagination of James
J Hill to see a completed empire in
the great Northwest. But arteries of
railroads We're needed. So Hill, the
man of action, built railroads-and his
dream came true.
All you have to do is to pass thru
cities, ride in elevators up scores of
stories, pass over lOng-spun bridges of
steel. travel thru tunnels under great
rivers and mountains, to realize that
it's the imaginative men who make all
progress possible.
