pETTINESS is CAUSE
OF MORE TROUBLES
THAN SINNERS, CLAIM

"Pettiness among Christian church
people cause the church more trouble
than the sinners of the world" de-
clared Bishop Irving Peake Johnson,
of Colorado, in an address on THE
Work of the Christian: What? When?
How" at ST. Paul's Episcopal church
Thursday afternoon.
1T is the sensitive soul that bothers
me more than anything else. Suppose
soldier in the trenches should leave
and go home because another soldier
scratched him? Yet that is what
many do who have enlisted in the
church, They leave the church for
ever because some one has scratched
them.
Hard to Approach
These same people are hard to ap-
proach. You must tell them things in
such way that they feel they are the
most important person in the church.
What they need is not rector. it's a
nurse for sensitive souls. have found
that the one who is always censoring
in the church is the one who gives the
least and would be least missed as far
as service was concerned should they
leave"

street south of the Main street bridge
in front of the T. H. l. & E. power
plant and the Starr Piano lumber
piles again came up for discussion in

The Starr Piano company has been
fighting for the removal of dirt in the

and Fire Chief Miller appeared be-
fore the board asking that the con
ditions be remedied The board con-
tended that F. E. Slick had complied
with its orders, but Mr. Butler stated
that the road was still in bad condi-
ton and endangered property in case
of fire.
Postpone Action
He stated that the power plant and
piano company were willing to i'm
prove the roadway if the board would
attend to the removal of dirt at the
opening. The matter was taken un
der further consideration
a petition of property owners on
Maple street for the laying of a gas
main from Hunt street to the alley
west of Ridge street on the north eide
of the street was favorably acted or
by the board. and the gas company
ordered to lay the connection.
Nimrod Johnson, superintendent o.
! the Richmond Light, Heat and Powel
| company, appeared before the boarC
and protested the granting of the pc
! tition. He stated that the company
was in bad condition at the presen
| time due to the order of the STATE

URGES WORKING men
BE GRANTED VOICE
IN INDUSTRIES RULE

Ninety-five per cent Of the working
men of America are on the square and
If they have the facts their group
judgement will seldom if ever be
wrong, according to Arthur H. Young,
of Chicago, head of the industrial re-
lations bureau of the International
HARVESTER company, speaking before
the Kiwanis club at its weekly lunch
con Thursday.
Mr. Young outlined the Harvester
company's policy of industrial rela-
tons committees composed of half
workers and half managers who de-
termined the control of policies in
which both were mutually interested.
These applied generally TO hours,
wages and working conditions, he
stated.
Committees Needed
The need for such committees is
the result of the expansion of modern
business through the introduction of
power machinery and concentrated in
dustries, declared Mr.. Young.
He added that growth has not only
manifested itself through physical ex-
pension OF the industries but also
through the change from personal
ownership, making personal touch be-
tween employee and employer impos-
sible. Some kind of relation was nee.
essary and the industrial relations blu.
reaus have been the result, Mr.. Young
stated.
Only two breaches have occurred in
the Harvester company during the
last two years, according to Mr.
Young, and these were readily settled
by the first arbitration committees
The whole system is an application of
common sense. the speaker stated
Several visitors were present at the

Interest in the elimination of wheat
smut has been stimulated by the in
vestigation recently conducted by the
county agent and by various farmers
of Wayne county, which shows large
proportion of the wheat in the fields
affected or seriously damaged by
smut.
Il would put the amount of loss con-
servatively estimated, at between Il
and Is per cent" said the agricultural
agent, after completing his inquiry.
Rush county, which has just started
to clean out the smut, reports about
IL per cent damage, but Shelby,
where smut elimination started three
years ago, only has traces left in a
few fields
One farmer of Wayne county, Clark
Grove, living south of Richmond on
the Liberty Pike, has wheat field
which shows very clearly, the results
of treating seed for smut. Two por-
tons of his field, lying side by side,
were sown one with treated and one
with untreated seed. The treatment
consisted of immersion IN hot water Of
such a temperature as 10 kill the smut
spores. As can be seen by the photo
graph. the wheat that was not treated
suffered about so per cent loss from
smut, while treated seed came up clean
and unaffected by the disease. The
contrast between the two parts of the
field is marked. and the division line
could be seen for rods when the
heads were black, according to Mr..
Grove.
Inspect Plants.
Charles Williams, president of the
newly formed association of Grain
Growers in Wayne county, accom-
panied by members of his organization
and of the farm bureau, made trip
Monday to inspect plants for the treat
ment of seed wheat, which had been
installed at SheIbyville and Rushville.
There is hardly a wheat field in Shelby
county now from which smut has not
been eliminated, according to the re-
port of that committee, and the farm
ers of that county regard this as a
remarkable record for three years
work
It is understood to be the intention
Of the farm bureau, working in con.
junction with the Wayne County
Grain Growers, to establish treating
plant in Wayne county, by which seed
could be treated for the farmers, and
losses, resulting from smut damage
avoided.
Smut Widespread.
Attention of farmers all over the
county has been drawn to the subject
of smut damage by the evidences that
they have seen in their own fields and
many are anxiously awaiting opportun
ity to use treating plant. Smut il
distributed generally over the whole
county, having been found in such
widely separated townships as Wash
ington, Franklin, Jefferson, Boston, and
| New Garden. Some fields show al
! high as 20 or % per cent damage from
the smut. With 30,211 acres of Wayne
county land in wheat this year, accord
