rhA Sunday Picnic.

The late Mrs. George Gould was

any dissertation of the Sabbath.
One summer Sunday, while motor

rich Lakewood family. the Smiths,
principal stockholders in the we'll

The Smith family was picnicking.
The father and the three sons In

whisky and playing poker, while the
daughters and the mother smoked
cigarettes and played bridge for high
stakes.

The officials Of the town of North
Adams, Mass, are effectively enforc-
ing the antispeed ordinance with an
original road barrier. A policeman
stands at the side Of the road with
red lantern. Speeding drivers are

to stop the policeman blows his whis-

filled with short spikes, is stretched
across the highway. No one has run

when 1t is first set going 1t smokes
considerably, with the result that prac-

flues were badly out of order.
It is capable Of bringing the average
winter temperature In a fair-sized
room up to zero, or maybe to 10 de-

REQUIRE. This sounds like an exag-

possible to exaggerate any phase OF
the tragedy that has befallen Russia.

CARRIED TOO
FAR WOOLLEN
Decries Wholesale Forming
of Governmental
Bureaus.

The wholesale establishment of bureaus,
commission and other Government In
strumentalities for the conduct and con-
troll Of business was decried today by
Evans Woollen, president Of the Fletcher
Savings and Trust Company. in an ad-
dress before the annual convention of the
Indiana Gamers Association.
I'VE have gone and still going too far
toward the acceptance Of paternalism as
a policy Of government" declared Mr..
Woollen. THE tendency toward the ac-
ceptance of that policy was apparent be-
fore the war, and during the war 1t
gained much headway."
He said there was some excuse for the
existence OF paternalstic policy in the
time OF war, but ayerred such q policy in
time OF peace WIS bad economically and
demoraiIzing politically.
Mr.. Woollen touched on the imperative
need of the farmer for intermediate
credit, that form which is more than the
six months shorttime credit ard Is less
than the term of a mortgage loan.
II Is possible for the commercial bank
or to take on some paper for terms longer
than six months IL he has not loaded his
bank with loans that should have gone TO
the mortgage lender, Mr. Woollen con-
tended He pointed out there would be
less complaint today that the farmer was
unsupplied with intermediate credit II
banks serving farmers had excluded
mortgage loans from their assets and 50
kept themselves in condition to meet the
needs of their customers.
That governmental aid IS not needed In
solving the problem, and belief the
American business man IS able to solve
his problems were convictions expressed
in the course OF the address.
The initiative OF an indiyldualist ma
ton will work out whatever problem
there Is without taking taxpayers Lsoney
for the establishment Of credit facilities
to be goyernmentally administered"
The activities Of the War Finance Cor
porat!on, ~ being extended six months
or year, was suggested by the speaker
as a possible solution Of the problem.
That Indiana needed no such aid, but
other communities did, was one OF the
salient points made.
Let us not hurry into any paternal
istic scheme to meet q problem that in
considerable measure Is passed. Mr.
Woollen said in conclusion, land which

INDIANACOAL
RAILROAD TO

sion Issues Certificate to
Company.

WASHINGTON. May 1s.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission today issued
certificate authorizing the abandon
ment of the Chicago and Indiana Coal
Railway division OF the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad. The railroad
to be abandoned lies directly in Indiana.
The authorization of the abandonment
of Chicago and Indiana Coal Railway
ends b long fight made by residents
along the route to save the road.
The road enters Indiana north Of
Attica. runs through a number of small
western Indiana towns and terminates at
Brazil.
The public service commission took up
the matter of saving the road and at
tempted, without success, to secure pur-
chaser.
At one time a delegation of citizens
called on Governor McCray, asking that
a special session Of the Legislature. be
called. to enact a law that would pre-
vent the abandonment of the road
The abandonment Of the road leaves a
number of cities, great many grain
elevators and some coal mines without
railroad facilities.

planned only yesterday that 1t had been

YOU, of course, know we have moth
ing to do with the collection Of garbage
and ashes, but a great many of the
citizens do not know that the garbage
and ashes are under the supervision OF
the sanitary board. We have made every
effort to clean up the alleys. We have,
however. been seriously hampered In this
work by what seems to be complete
breakdown in the sanitary organization.
Their ashes and garbage collection system
seems to have suffered a total collapse.
We find that alleys everywhere are piled
with ashes and garbage, some alleys be-
ing almost impossible.
ave are ready and willing to clean all
improved alleys, but it is useless TO do
this unless the winter accumulation Of
ashes and garbage Is removed. In some
instances where the condition consti-
tuted menace, We removed the ashes,
rubbish and garbage; but with our linz
tied equipment we can not continue this
kind of work.
This department was turned over to
us in deplorable condition. We have
about twenty-three teams and five trucks
with which to clean about five hundred
miles of paved streets and alleys.
when this department was organized
sixteen years ago, the city owned over
100 mules and hired fifty or sixty during
the summer. At that time the city had
less than one-third Of the improved mile

some way to remedy what seems to be a
