PRICE OF COAL WILL INCREASE DURING SUMMER Chicago Dealers Report Increase in Cost; Early Buying is Urged. (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. April 11. Retail price for anthracite coal In Chcago are from 91.90 to $1.95 a ton higher than a year ago while bituminous coal la selling from 21 to 36 cents a ton higher than last April. Despite the prevailing high prices consumers are being urged through an advertising campaign of coal dealers to buy their next winter's supply of fuel now In order to save money. t Beginning May 1, ten cents a ton will be added to the price of anthracite coal each month up to Sept. 1 which will mean a further increase of fifty cents a ton before next fall. v Dealers explain that the high prices are due to Increases In labor, freight, cartage and other Items Included In the cost of production and handling. They declared that prices cannot be lowered until these costs are reduced and there are no prospects that they will be lowered In the near future. Production Is Reduced. Despite the high prices Chicago dealers say there has been an enormous reduction In the volume of production. Last April the prices . for these grades of anthracite coal were as follows: Grate $9.85, ogga $9.75, range $10 while the present prices for the same grades are: $11.80, $11.70 and $11.90. A year ago mine run bituminous coal sold In Chicago for $5.69 and lump, egg and nut for $6.14. This year prices for same grades are $6.05 and $6.35. Coal dealers declare that their profits are less today than they were a year ago. While the coal business is no longer under control of the federal government the federal authorities It Is known are following a policy of insisting upon prices at the mine sufficiently high, so that the scale of wages for miners shall not be jeopardized. This policy it is said was clearly indicated in recent instructions issued to the railroad administration for the purchase of fuel. Mine Price Is Fixed. Fred W. Upham, president of the Consumers company, said to be the largest retail coal dealers In the United States In discussing the question of price today said: "The prevailing high prices are due to Increased cost of labor, freight, cartage and other Items that make up the cost of production and handling. I do not see how prices can be lowered until the Items of costs are reduced and this Is not In sight. "The price we pay for coal at the mine Is fixed, the cost of freight and labor Is fixed and our margin of profIt for handling Is limited. "Our profits are less than last year despite the higher prices. Our advice to the consumer Is for him to buy his next winter's coal supply now. Prices will be at least fifty cents a ton higher for anthracite conl next September. .We cannot tell what the price for bituminous coal will be next fall. It depends altogether on conditions."

ADMIRAL SIMS HONORED ON RETURN FROM

Noted Architect, Designer of Eaton

Courthouse, Becomes Eaton Resident

It Is not very often that a town of 4,000 is selected as the working center of a nationally known professional man. Yet when Harvey H. HIestand, born in Eaton, O., who has made a national reputation as an architect, announced this spring that he was going to stay in Eaton, at least for a time, and make an office out of the front room of a house at 211 Main street, where he wa3 born, Eaton gained that distinction. Hiestand is best known in Preble county for the beautiful new Preble county court house, one of the most impressive public buildings of its size in the middle west. Hiestand, the chief designer of the McAlpin Hotel, In New York, the largest hotel in the world at the time of its construction, the Hotel Sinton in Cincinnati, the new Kentucky state capital, the Hotel Taft In New Haven and the Church of the Holy Rosary, in Columbus. Scores of Residences Designed. Besides these large public buildings, Hiestand has designed many others of equal merit, and has to his credit I scores of lovely residences in cities land towns all over the middle west and the east. Born and brought up in Eaton, a member of one of the oldest families In this part of the middle west, who I have been bankers and business men in Eaton for as long as memory runs back, Hiestand early decided he wanted to be an architect. He went to Miami University at Oxford, O., and to the art institute in Chicago. Then he formed a connection with F. M. Andrews of Dayton, and until about 1913, worked with Andrews. In 1905 the latter moved to New York, because his business had out-grown the Dayton field. Hiestand went with him. It was during these years that he designed for Andrews the large hotels and other large buildings. In 1913, he eevered his connection with Andrews, and spent the next year or so abroad. "I studied in Italy principally, and for some time in France and England," he says. "I was in Germany just long enough to get out." Called Back to Eaton. Three years ago Hiestand was called back to Eaton by the long and serious Illness of a brother. It was then that he became interested in the courthouse project, which resulted in the present building, the pride of Eaton, and the county. The courthouse kept him busy until its completion, and as for the rest "The reason why I am going to stay in Eaton," said Hiestand. "Well, there the family reasons, of course, and then I believe there is a better field in the middle west, and more growing appreciation of good architecture than ever before. We are getting away from the stereotyped old things; there is a general awakening, may I express it, In architecture. I am naturally anxious to help this along, as best one man can, and everything combined has decided me to stay here, for a while, at least. "I believe the soldiers are going to Worse This Spring Owing to Run-down Condition Caused by the War. Anxiety and worry have a bad effect on the nervous system, and derange the bodily functions, especially digestion and excretion. Who escaped them during the war? They have made nervousness, paleness, lack of vitality worse this Spring. The very best medicine to take now is Peptiron. It strengthens and tones the nerves. It gives a good color to the Hps and cheeks. It is the great vitalizer, giving healthy activity to all the vital organs. This good medicine, which is a real iron tonic, makes the blood rich in red corpuscles, an abundance of which is indispensable to perfect health. It promptly relieves mental and physical exhaustion, created an appetite, and promotes sweet, refreshing sleep. Peptiron is in the form of chocolatecoated tablets, and is pleasant to take. Adv. ,

bring back memories of the beauty and

dignity of old world building, which will result in dissatisfaction with much of the public and private architecture of our country as It is now. Even In the smaller European communities, there is usually a rational and artistic scheme for the placing and the design of the principal buildings. 1 "The soldiers are going to feel its ' universal good taste and thoughtful-1 ness of European public architecture, and it is goin; to make them dissatisfied with the listless, matter-of-fact way we have over here of disposing of the problem of public buildings. It has been regretably true of our build-. ings, both public and private, that the I etyles of architecture change as quickly almost as women's dress, and build-; ings built forty years ago look almost ; as freakish as women's dress of forty years ago. The trouble is that the builders mistook the style of the moment for permanent beauty. I hope to see the time when American architecture will build to stand the test of time, that bouses and public buildings wil lremain lovely to our eyes as long as they stand. Accept Only Best Influences "By this I don't mean that we will slavishly follow European models. I mean that we will accept the best influences they have to offer, adapt it to American practical needs, climate, materials, combine it with the American spirit, and finally produce a really authentic and beautiful American architecture. "And from the two million American boys who come back with memories of the best in European buildings, are going to come the commissioners, the planners of the future, so that I hope tins new age in American building may come much sooner because of the war."

EUROPEAN SERVICE

1-vf J Sims with his wife, two daughters and son, who greeted him on board liner Mauretania on his return from Europe, and airplanes hovering over Mauretania as it entered harbor. British Tommies line the rails. Vice Admiral William Snowden Sims was given a reception fitting the leader of America's naval forces abroad when he arrived at New York recently. Sim3 directed the operation of the U. S. navy in European waters during the war and his efficient work and hearty co-operation with the British forces was largely responsible for the successbful blockade of the German fleets and the checking of U-boat activities. Sims had not seen his 'family since he left for Europe two years ago when they boarded the Mauretania, Nicholson Listed for Failure To File Expense Account As Legislature Lobbyist Included in a list published yesterday of lobbyists of Indiana at state legislature who had failed to file expense reports, was the name of S. Edgar Nicholson, of Richmond, registered as a lobbyist for the Anti-Saloon league. The fine for failure to comply with this rule is not less than $200 and not more than $1,000. A few days of grace will be given, said William A. Roach, secretary of state. Mr. Nicholson said today that he was only in Indianapolis one day, and was there then more to renew acquaintances than to lobby. A friend urged him to register, he said, and he had thought no more about the matter. .-"Did not know I had to file expenses." said Mr. Nicholson, "but I'll look into the matter."

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy, now sold by all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other remedies costing many times as much. Rheuma acts with speed; it brings in a few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the poisons that cause agony and pain in the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness completely disappeares. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: "I have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism, and altogether different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed." Dr. M. C. Lyons. This certainly should give any rheumatic sufferer confidence to try this harmless and inexpensive remedy. If you have rheumatism in any form don't delay. Try Rheuma today. Your druggist will supply you and return your money if it does not give you quick and joyful relief. Adv. Up-to-Date Dealers Do Not Substitute The up-to-date storekeeper would no more "substitute" than he would give short weight. It doesn't pay. When you go into a store and ask for an article by brand name you are entitled to what; you ask for. It ife your money that is going to pay the bill. You know there is reputation behind the branded articles advertised in this newspaper. You have a right to view any substitutes with doubt. And you have reason to doubt the character of the store which habitually offers substitutes.

Clever Skit Presented By High School Girls "The Burglar," a clever skit, was given by five girls, members of the G. A. A., at the High school chapel exercises Friday morning. Each girl took her part well. The scene was in the country home of Peggy Burton, who is in the house with four girl friends. It was just about time to retire when some of the girls came in with a story about a burglar in the neighborhood. This started the ball rolling and every girl had a story about a burglar that was just a little bit wilder than the other. After much display of nerves the girls gathered up courage to go to bed. About the time everything is quiet a scream came from Mabel and immediately all rushed Into the living room attired in attractive dressing robes and negligees of various colors. Mabel said the burglar was in her room. A revolver . and shot gun were brought forth and manipulated the way five frightened girls would manipulate fire arms.

"The Happiest Words in the English Language" "The Easiest Way to get Credit is to Deserve It"

The vast business of the world is conducted on the principle that most people are honest and will pay for what they buy, yet it is a strange quirk of human nature that those who have most are often slowest in paying their bills. They know that they are good for what they purchase, that they are going to pay, but many chronically put off paying without realizing the hardship it creates. Richmond's mer

chants gladly carry thousands of "charge accounts" with Richmond people and for out-of-town buyers.

Frieda Dixon, who is the most courageous, decided to go Into the room to see if he was really there. The girls heard , her laugh and Immediately thought she had gone crazy. All grew faint when Frieda returned with a big pussy cat. Helen Hazeltlne played Peggy Burton; Marjorle Edwards. Valena Armaby; Mary Jones, Frieda Dixon; Gertrude Williams, Edith Brent, and Clara Daub, Mabel. The play was given twice In order that the entire student body could see it In this way Just the lower floor was used. Principal Kelly said Friday morning this arrangement would probably be used for all playa

DANDRUFF SOON RUINS THE HAIR Girls If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky Rair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash It out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff Is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces Is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never falls. Adv. RICHMOND MAIL ORDER GROCERY HOUSE D. O. HODGIN, Prop. 301 Nat.
