WHAT THE CONCERN HAS DONE SINCE ITS INCEPTION SHORT ON VEGETABLES What Will Probably he Doe at the Factory This Winter The Number of Cans. A Palladium representative visited the Richmond canning factory this morning and was greatly , surprised at its proportiohs;iThe 4uilding is a most sub stantial frame structure and is well provided with the necessary machinery for. running the factory. The whole building is as ' clean throughout as it is possible to make such a place. :' When the factory is busv fifteen men and from twelve . t oj fiftevn girls are employed. William Henson is the engineer and Mr. Pavne is superin 1 tendent, while Mr. J. H. Wilson has .,arre of the corn machinery. The factory has not been as busy as its promoters would, like for it to be, owing to a shortage of tomatoes and corn. However, the following figures will show that they have been doing something down there: Since the factory started 10,504 cans of corn have been put up and 2,777 cans of tomatoes. These cans are all put up in tiers and the most perfect system for handling the same has been inaugurated. Besides the number of filled cans, the stock room contains about 90,000 empty cans. The cans are made by the American Tinplate company, at its various factories scattered over the country. Mr. Frank Clark statedMhat they would like to be kept busy all of the time, and the more tomatoes and corn brought to the factory the better it suits the company. "What will you do with the building during the winter, was asked. "We have not determined as to that, but it is likely we will put in a cider mill and make cider. We will in all probability make apple butter. However, none of these latter things have been determined upon.

INTERESTING

INTEREST IN

GOLF TOURNEY PINE PLAYING TO BE SEEN HERE SEPT. 15-17. DUDLEY ELMER WINS? His Friends Confidently Expect HIsi To Carry Off the State Championship. ' j In local golf elides the chief and ionly subject of discussion js the state golt tournaey, which will be held on the links of the Richmond Country Club, September l.", 10 and 17. The tournament is of interest to all golfers of Indiana in the west, and the very cream of the golfers of this state will be present on the local links and the strongest 'and most skillful players will be pitted - against each' other. Some of the. finest of state records will be. broken and even lim-r ones made. . Muncie, IndianapolU, Marion, Anderson, and among the western cities, Terro Haute and Lafayette, will all send the best golfers of the respective towns, and the loval golf enthusiasts expect some royal playing during the three days of the tournament. " From an unbiased standjxiint Dadley Elmer, of this city,' stands as good a chance to win the state championship as any other golfer. Last year he was barely defeated, after holding his own for several days, by an older, stronger player, and for a long time it looked' as though it would be a sure thing that Elmer would carry off the state gratulated on bis fine work, and the older golfers predicted that he would develop into a golf prodigy. Since last fall he has played steadily, and has gained a great deal in general form and playing. Now he ranks viry high ' among .. the state golfers, and. the championship seems to be well within his grasp. Hibberd, another Richmond player. who won the Ft. Wavne-Richmond match championship, has also steadily developed, but it is not definitely settled as to his entrance into the tourney. , A number of other Richmond gulf ers have their eyes on the championships, and are practicing steadily, and the entrance opening day of the state. tournament will probably see quite a number of local golfers entered. Three events are of sjH'cial importance, first, and foremost, the Individual state championship for men, sixteen to qualify at eight eeji holes, a consolation event for men, ami the 'In dividual state championship for women, eirht to qualify at nine holes. Miss Gladys Wvnn and Mrs. New, of IndianaHlis, are both strong players who will endeavor to capture the worn an's championship. Miss Wynn was barely defeated at Chicago not long ago. The Richmond Country Club house will tie" fitted up and deccorated in gala style during the tournament, and a large number of society e vents have been arranged for in honor of the visitors during their stay. Th? tournament will' in all probability be the, leading' society event of the month here. The links are being gone over, smoothed and gotten into the very best possible shape for the tournament; V The local links are among the best in the entire state, and the local golfers are indeed proud of th'em. Indianapolis and Muncie are likely to furnish the strongest comjK'titors against the Richmond "cracks." . Jewelry Store. The room next east of Cunningham shoe store has been rented and will be occupied by a first class jewelry store. Marriage Licenses. The following persons were licensed to marry: : William A.
