This strawberry season is appetite
teasin'. I'll bet you'll agree on that
point. I've eaten and eaten and led
on this treat, till I've near thrown
my jaws out of joint.
No man ever tarries DER luscious
red berries. What wonderful tid-bits
they seem. What more could you
ask. than to sit to the task OF de-
vouring some berries and cream?
And then. for relief, 1t is my firm
belief, that you always can tickle
your eye by sittin' and GRIMM, and
shortly beginnin' the eatin' of straw
berry pie.
oh pappy, how happy a fellow can
be when this fruits at his beck and
his call. But, when they are serv-
ing the berries to me, give me short
cake-the best of them all.
Just picture the dough, that with
brown Is aglow, and the berries all
squashed up just right. And here's
where I stop, cause I guess that
I'll hop out and get me some short.

More is spent in this country for

Let Us In On This Plan

VlN open and frank statement Of the situa-
"a ton from both sides of the present fight
for control Of the Citizens Gas Company is due
the people Of Indianapolis. The gas company
is more than private corporation. 1t is a
public utility and as such is bound to give the
public the facts in a case Of this kind.
An outside corporation, presumably acting
for some third party, is seeking to buy half the
stock Of the company at price far in excess
Of the market price. The stock is held by a
large number of persons in indianapolis and
the company is controlled by board Of trus-
tees, who vote all the stock.
1t is not clear why corporation seeking to
control the company should offer such price
for the stock. 1t is not reasonable to believe
that business institution sufficiently large to
handle transaction Of this kind would pay
more than the stock is worth in order to obtain
it. At least, it would not pay more than fair
price unless it expected to make the stock
worth the purchase price and more in the near
future.
The gas company, since it's change in man
agement some time ago, apparently has been
an increasingly successful institution. Rates
still are high as compared with pre-war rates,
but there have been some voluntary reductions
and the public has been led to believe that fur
Their reductions are not impossible. Certainly
the company is a prosperous institution well
worth owning
Indianapolis citizens can not help feeling
little reluctant about seeing an outside con-
Germ obtain control Of the company. We know
nothing Of the intentions Of this concern, but
we believe that in fairness>to the public and to
the concern, whatever it may be, that is seek
ing to control the utility, all the cards should
be laid on the table.
We have had so many unpleasant expert
ences in connection with public utilities in and
out Of the courts that no be blamed

CRUSADES AND

"7HE foes of tobacco met in
Indianapolis this week.
~ Both the No-Tobacco

tional organization have held their
conventions here. Lady Nicotine
was severely trounced.
No doubt tobacco is harmful to
some people and its use should be
curtailed.
A well-seasoned pipe may peel
the paper off the wall. tarnish the
silverwear, and crack the founda-
tons Of society. And 1t IS not in

putting a cigaret.
But even at its worst tho to-
bacco habit does not inoite to riot,
crime and murder. Very seldom
does a man run amuck under the
influence of a chew Of tobacco
and murder wife and babes. A
smoker in an automobile is no
more dangerous to other traffic
than a waffle fiend.
But now that the Demon Rum
is dead in spcts-though he quiv-

filthy weed will be attacked with
enthusiasm. Then coffee. Life
in America is just one crusade
