FOR RICHMOND S00
THERE WILL BE MANY KINDS OF LEGITIMATE AMUSEMENTS AND MUCH THAT, WILL TEND TO EDUCATE.
Hagerstown, Ind., July 13 Only little more than one week, and the fair, which has done much towards advertising I lagers town to the outside world as an enterprising little city, will he in full Mast. July 23 is the date for the formal opening of what will be
a big event. For several years this has been a pleasant annual occurrence,
looked forward to with great anticipa
tion by the citizens of Hagerstown and
country and by many in the adjoining
cities. Thousands of people are famil
iar with the beautiful grounds at the
east end of Main street where the fair
Is annually held. There is no more i.Im re in the county for
such a gathering, and at the cool shad ed grounds all will be hustle and bus
io and Kovpral thousands of dollars
worth of fine cattle, sheep, hogs, hors
a and other agricultural products, im
plements of all sorts, and hundreds oi dollars worth of fine goods for Floral Hall, and many other exhibits will be
on display. Kntries are rapidly coming in, and
every available space will be taken. More speed horses will be entered thnn vfr before, and every one of the
stalls in one of the large barns has al
ready been taken, and many more are asking for places. The judges in the different departments are men of skill and wide experience, having been employed as judges in various state fairs and at different stock shows. These judges will score by points alone in their estimation of the qualities of an animal, and their knowledge of the subject enables them to always give correct estimates of score points. These judges have never before been employed by the Hagerstown Tair board. At the coming fair there will be many kinds of legitimate amusements. There will be many free attractions, and the four days devoted to the enterprise will be replete with things to amuse and to educate.
OPINIONS DIFFER DH t PECULIAR-POINT
IT IS SAID THAT THE TIEUP BETWEEN THE McGOWAN LINE AND RICHMOND HAS HAD ITS EFFECT.
It seems that the Indianapolis, New
Castle and Toledo traction officials
are going to give Richmondthe cold shoulder as far as an early extension of the line to this city is concerned.
A branch will be immediately built
from New Castle to Muncie and the
surveyors are now at work surveying a route from New Castle to Winchester, and it is reported that this branch will be constructed before the New Castle-Richmond branch of the line. Just why the traction officials announce their decision to build the line to "Winchester previous to the branch to Richmond although the latter has been surveyed for several months, is not definitely known. It is said locally that the traction
fight in Richmond between the board of works on one hand and the McGowan interests on the other, has given the interests of the new traction line a chill and that Richmond will be the last place to which the line will run or at least will not make any further preparations to run to this city till the traction squabble hanging fire here has been settled. In order to
"get even" with the city of Richmond
for justly demanding its rights in the
present fight, it is certain that the McOowan interests who also hold large holdings in the New Castle and
Toledo line, will exert every effort and influence to keep out of this city.
We want to close out our entire line off Gasoline Stoves and Ranges. In order to do so we are going to offer them during the next 10 days at a great reduction far below the former prices. Included in this sale will be our entire line of Refrigerators and Ice Chests. We will simply slaughter prices on these goods, take our word for it. Call, see our Wonderful discount on these goods. This sale only lasts ten days, but they will be the greatest of all money saving days. See our window display of fine China, Crockery and Glassware.

Do Rural Mail Routes Increase Insanity?-
WISCONSIN JUDGE SAYS SO.
Wayne county rural route mail carriers disagree with Judge Jotn Chlonepk of Wisconsin, when he aays that rural mail service Is the cause of increase of the number of Insane persons in rural districts. His argument on this 'crazy" proposition is as follows: "I think the rural route is doing more than anything else to cause the ir.crenre of insanity in the country. Before that was inaugurated people gathered at the postoffice, at he country store, at the neighbors; people :'iw more of each other. Now they get their mail every morning; everything is brought to them: they lead
IV seCIUCCU Ilie, sommiura uui. tcito anyone for many days. It is the lonesomeness of the thing that drives people to the madhouse. "The farmers wives are the ones particularly affected by this new condition. . Insanity, is increasing at a rapid rate in the rural communities, and especially is this true among the women. In our last report the proportion of women cases was much greater than that of men. Nine out of ten cases in this country come from the country districts."
LONGCLIFF NEEDS ROOM,
IT IS UP TO THE STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL TO DECIDE ON HOW TO GET AN APPROPRIATION.
I w rt t J m v I
way siue iau?s j:
Are you wearing a Swatslka? No? Then you are away behind the times. What's a Swatsika? Don't you know what a Swastika it?
Why a Swatsika is the latest fad in
leweiry. it comes in stickpins, em
blems, buttons, hat pins, brooches, belt buckles and whisper 'garter clasp. It is a fact that the Swatsika craze
has taken such a firm hold on Rich
mond that the jewelers are finding it
a hard matter to supply the demand for
this particular form of ornament. The Swatsika is a symbol in a form in the form of a cross and the wearer it Is said will have good luck. "It is the oldest cross and the oldest symbol in the world." stated a local jeweler this morffig. The origin is unknown although it is said to date from the remotest antiquity. In speaking of the Swatsika craze In Richmond, the jeweler said of the matter this morning, that orders for stickpins, cuff buttons, fobs, watch charms, lodge emblems, hat pins, brooches, scarf pins, breast pins, belt buckles, designs U- card cases, jewelry cases were piling 1n on him so fast he shald he was unable to keep up wth the demand. He said that just now there was a Swatsika craze sweeping the country. Who or what is responsible for the spread of this fad is us shrouded in mystery as the significance of the emblem itself. It is said that it rivals the horseshoe from the jint of giving the owner good luck.
The same conditions which have existed at Easthaven for many months, that of being overcrowded, exists at practically all the other like state institutions in the state. This is a significant fact as it shows that insanity among Indiana is on the increase. Longcliff at Logansport is one of the hospitals where moneys are needed immediately to complete buildings that the overcrowded conditions may be allivated. The Logansport Reporter in commenting on the situation there says: Its up to the state's attorney general to decide whether or not there is any possible way for Longcliff to get an appropriation to finish uncompleted buildings before the next ses
sion of the legislature. The hospital trustees met yesterday afternoon at Longcliff and it developes that Gover
nor Hanly has conferred witn tne state's attorney general, in effort to see if something cannot be done to alleviate conditions at Longcliff. Though he realizes the necessity of an appropriation, he claims that he is powerless to act, and in hopes that there may be some way in which the needed money can be secured he ha3 put the matter up to the state'3 attorney. That individual has not yet reported. It is stated that instead
of onlv $10,000 being needed, $30,000
is asked. These buildings must be i finished and finished Immrd'-Uely.
There are at least twenty-nve or tnirty insane patients being confined in different county jails in the district,;
awaiting a chance to get into Longcliff. but because of the alreadycrowded conditions, they must wait.

ORGANIZE TO BUILD HOMES. New Castle Construction Company With $200,000 of Capital. New Castle, Ind., July 13. The organization of the New Castle Construction company, capital $200,000 and the New Castle Improvement company, with $30,000 capital stock, means much to this city, as the mission of these companies is to relieve the famine of houses which already exists and which will present a worse situation when employes begin to arrive for the big automobile plant. Fifteen hundred of these workmen are expected here with the first of November. Within the next ten days the companies will begin work on 120 cottages and others will be erected later. Persons working here on several big improvements are living in tents, waiting for homes to be built.

London. July 13. Japanese competition in pottery manufacture is emphasized in a recent report by the tariff commissioner of Great Britain on the
condition of the pottery trade here, which has remained stationary for many years, while the exports from Germany, France and Austria have great'y increased. Great stress is laVJ in the evidence as to the consequences of increasing Japanese competition in view of the abnormally low wage basis prevailing in that country.
thought to be due to the high eleva
tion of the land upon which the trees are growing. Potatoes Late and Small.
The president, finds upon digging
new potatoes that they will not only be late, but small, and arc covered with a sort of a fungus growth which may Impair their keeping quality. This condition however has not been found to be general near this city. From reports on the condition of flowers there seems to have been an abundance of bloom of sweet peas, hyacinths, and roses while most of
the other flowering plants have not been up to expectations.
Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith of Cam
bridge City gave an address on "Tree3
Their Aesthetic, Economic and Ethical Values" that was one of her best efforts, and elicited apparently no end of comment and discussion from the members of the society. In her address she referred to many authors or writers who spoke of trees in all ages, and she dwelt at length
on the manner in which they had taken the air of romance in the majority of these writings. The trees hava always played an Important role In the great works of the world. Trees' Economic Value. She spoke of the economic value of trees and paid that more tree planting should be encouraged and wherever a tree was planted It should be protected that the future generations should receive a blessing rather than be found destitute of nature's best gift. She spoke of trees In many other ways, making as a whole one of, the most interesting addresses ever heard by the members of the Wayne county society. The next session of the society will be held at the home of Nathan M. Garwood two m!."es east of the city, ' the second Saturday In August, In- ; stead of at the home of the president, : at which place the meeting was scheduled to be held. Judge Luther C. Ab- j
