HIGH COST OF DATES"

that date nowadays SIS for food and
mentif it is moderately big evening and least S. it
is any kind of an evening at all.
When father boy and coured mother he lucky if

would consist of ride in buggy hired the livery stable for
so cents strawberry festival Methodist church with
the limit not than so cents.
In those days it customary to marry young and
big families Nowadays later marriages the rule rather
than the exception Large families and divorces
Perhaps the explanation lies in the difference in the cost of
dates and the subsequent upkeep.

Torch
Exposition
By GAYLORD NELSON.

ODAY the 'Hoosier Limited"
II takes the road.
1t is the first of a series of
/ trips this miniature trackless train
will make to all parts of the State
to advertise the second Indianapolis
Industrial Exposition, to be held Oct.
4 to II.
Indianapolis is a city Of home
owning, home-loving home folks
the capital Of a great State.
It is more. It is an industrial city
with an astonishing variety Of man
ufactured products. The output of
it's factories flows in all the arteries
of trade to the remote corners of the
world.
The new exposition building at the
State Playground will be none too
large to contain the exhibits Of its
manufacturing enterprises.
Some cities live on the furnished
glories of their past, on their wits,
on their tourists, or on their climate
But the prosperity of Indianapolis
/ is inextricably interviewer with the
smoke Of its factory chimneys. The
city lives by the work Of its hands
by an honest days work for an
honest days pay.
No civic undertaking should re-
ceive more hearty support than the
industrial exposition. 1t is well the
"Hoosier Limited is carrying an in
vitation to our friends and neighbors
throughout the State to visit this ex-
position and inspect our industrial
handiwork.
We will show It with justifable
pride

Petitions

RI NEW political party is easily
TAI launched in Indiana. Theo-
Ill retically.
To place it's ticket on the ballot
only needs petition of 500 names.
That is a mere exercise canter for
a lightweight petition circulator. Be
tween breakfast and downtown he
can secure 500 names to any petit
ton. From burning the Statehouse
to revising the earth's orbit.
In other States the birth of new
political party is no such casual
event. To place a new ticket on the
ballot they generally demand petit
tons signed by per cent of the
voters.
One per cent in Indiana would be
1900 names. But Indiana only re,
quires 500.
Under the present law there might
be, fundamentally, $500 tickets in
the field
Which is absurd.
But so is the present law.

SO the vote that appears certain
TO be given the Progressive ticket in
Philadelphia doubtless will surprise
some of her citizens. For the feel

industrial cities. A great deal Of
organization work has been done
and the organizers report a ready
response to their efforts. The Cen

the local unions of Philadelphia and
vicinity. voted some time ago to in
dorse the independent ticket-some
thing never before done for any ma
tional ticket by that body-and is
actively at work to get out the vote
in November.
Philadelphia long record Of 20
litical corruption is giving the Pro
gressive leaders some concern. They
are wondering whether they will he

it is cast. A classic instance of the
Philadelphia system, occurring a
year or so ago, is still fresh in mind.
Bill Roper. famous Princeton foot
ball coach, whose home is in this
city, became a candidate for city
councilman. The returns showed
that he was defeated by 500 votes.
Bill was so convinced that he really
was a popular person that he had
the ballots seized and recounte1 in
court next day. The result justified
his opinion Of himself. He actually
had been elected by 500 votes.

The political Philadelphia of only
a few years ago has been improved
in one respect, however, that will
work to the advantage of the indie

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
b. s. w. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

"Stop the leaksn'
This is a lesson that has been
impressed on every American school
boy and school girl, yet it is a lesson
that is lost sight Of by all too many
persons.
1t is not mere school-book
platitude. "Stop the leaksP' This
is one Of the fundamentals of all
success.
No business is so powerful and
prosperous that this principle can be
ignored
1t is the leaks often that cause
failure where there is otherwise
every apparent reason for success.
Lincoln's famous letter of re-
commentator for a fellow townsman
illustrates the point. While a
young lawyer in Illinois he received
a letter Of inquiry regarding the
standing, responsibility and charact-
er of a certain man in the town to
which he made the following reply:
Dear Sir: Yours Of the tenth
received. / am well acquainted with
the gentleman named, and know his
characteristics. First of all, he has
a wife and baby; together they ought
to be worth $4,000 to any man.
Then he has an office, in which there
is a table worth about $3.50 and
three chairs worth, say 81. Last of
all, there is in one corner a rat-hole
which will bear looking into.
Respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln. :"
Nothing could be said against the
man, excepting that he did not
understand how to stop the leaks. A
few days ago l had occasion to in
quire about a certain man, and the
answer / received was, 'Iots Of
ability but no stability" No
stability because he could not stop
the leaks of unimportant matters
which warped his judgment, under
mined his will and distorted his
character
Leaks may consist Of misspent
pennies or misdirected energy. What
is even of greater Importance. they
may consist Of the failure to with
stand small temptations.
Most success is achieved through a
series of events which in themselves
are of small consequence. Most
failures likewise come from piling
up Of petty mistakes or misdeeds.
