T ROADS TOGETHER C, C. & L. Railroad and Indiana Union Traction to Exchange Freight. FORMAL CONTRACT SOON. INTERCHANGE WILL BE MADE AT PERU AND C. C. & L. WILL GET LINE INTO INDIANAPOLIS, AND TRACTION WILL ALSO PROFIT. By an agreement among the officials rl the two companies, arrangements Jiave been made for an interchange of traffic between the Chicago, Cincinnati Vc Louisville and Indiana Union Traction; railroad lines at Peru. At present the agreement is but verbal, but it will bo placed in proper contract form. The interchange, applies to an exchange of business between the steam and iraotion roads between Indianapolis and Peru on the traction company's line and between Peru and Chicago on lha route of the steam road. A dispatch from Pent says: Work is now in progress on the. time carda and other details of the plan, and it is supposed affairs will be ready for ihe final signing of contracts within a few week??. The plan of the exchange is for each road to incorporate the time card of the other in its own and to advertise for and take business from one. terminal or intermediate points to iutennoMate points or terminal on the other line. The electric line will do well In the exchange, because it will be able to advertise through tickets and connections to Chicago by way of this city, ajul the steam line, securing advantage of the dollar differential cf ihe C, C. - L. Passengers from the south will be lot off at the C. C. & L. station on lower Proadway. and will find the exchange as convenient as possible. In the same manner the passengers coming in from the C. C. ,V L. stations north of here may take the electric cars south for Indianapolis at the same station. Freight business likewise will be exchanged to some extent, but there will be no exchange of cars between the two lines for the reason that regulation steam freight and sleeping cars bave wheels too heavy for street paved track s.

day food against STUDENTS GIVE PLAY Merchant of Venice Presented At Local High School Yesterday. RAY ROGERS WAS THE STAR The members of the first term Sophomore English cla.ss, gave three scenes from the Merchant of Venice at the high school yesterday afternoon for the benefit, of the l'reshnien. who will soon take up this play of Shakespeare and study it. for the remainder of the term. At tho end of the play the seniors gathered in the halls and it. looked like a conspiracy and reminded oner of the good old days of publics ere- one of of the privileges that the two upper classos had. several years ago before the ruling of the school board. The seniors, girls especially, were the busiest gabblers and they surrounded their president and asked him to appoint a committee to see Prof. Kllabarger and escertain if it would be possible for the seniors to give some kind of a comedy before the school ends. In the production of the Merchant of Venice yesterday. Kay Rogers. who look the part of Shylock, was the star, lie whetted his ugly looking knife and demanded his pound of flesh in a manner that would make Pen Creel envious. Rogers is a good actor and is an excellent comedian. His Iriends at j the high school expect him to make j good if ho enters the theatrical busii ness. Norma Hanniiig. who took the part of Portia also deserves special mention in tho way she portrayed this character.

At noon today the EC Girl declared she would make a new record in Richmond in giving away money. And from the way slie has suoeeeiled in distributing her dollar bills in the past dav and a half her statement cannot well be ouestioiH'd. ! " I really believe that tot per cent of tho people of Ricamond have E-C Corn Flakes in their homes today." said the E C Girl at noon. "I o rtaianly am in a position to know and my figures are based on my actual experience in Cie many calls 1 bave made since beginning my work here ye. -terday morning. Everybody seems to know all about me and on all sides and in every part of the city 1 have her n welcomed heartily. The people know hist what to say when I call at their homes and 1 am not having a bit of trouble in getting rid of my money. "If there is ten ;er cent of Richmond population without E-C Corn Flakes in the house this morning that ten per cent will b- s lpnlied before tomorrow night, according to all reports of the grooerfi. They say that the sales of the past ten davs. he.tvv a they have been, show big increases today. Part of this increase, of course, comes from people who have just begun to realize that. I am no myth, but a real girl with a lot of real money to give away. "The rest, of the increased sales, the larger part, is from people w.io bought E-C Corn Flakes in the first place just beeaupe of our unique advei Using campaign and because they wanted to be ready for me when I called at their
