Richmond merchants and manufacturers are already beginning to feel the wholesome effects of the injections of ginger being administered to tLem by the Young Men's Business club. The first taste tho business Interests of this city obtained of the benefits derived by inducing large crowds of out of town people Into the city was a most appetizing morsel and now the men of affairs in this city ere clamoring for "more." The "second

helping" the Young Men's Business club Is preparing to dish out Is the Fall Festival. Merchants and manufacturers in Richmond are prepared to give this venture all the necessary financial encouragement, as they realize it will bring hundreds of people into the city. "Bringing crowds into the city is certainly a benefit to tho merchants,"

stated Thomas Nicholson of the Nicholson book store." It is estimated

that every person who comes to the city spends on the average one dollar. True, some business concerns do not directly benefit by attracting out of town people In to the city, but indirectly they are benefited, because eventu

ally they receive their share of the money spent by the visitors. Rich

mond has too long permitted its citi

zens to spend their money out of the

city. It is certainly goo policy to at

tract out of town 'dollars' Into Rich

mond."

In this statement Mr. Nicholson re

flects the opinion of every business man In the city. Theso business men

also realize that the plan of the Young

Men's Business club In making Rich

mond a mecca for out of town people,

has other merits besides bringing

money into the city. They can see

that the bringing of crowds into Rich

mond serves to advertise the city. "If we want to increase our population we

must let out of town people know that Richmond is on the map," is the way

Wilfred Jessup, one of the active

workers in the Young Men'o Business

club, puts it

When Yeoman Ferguson of the recruiting service, arrived here this morning to open up the local recruiting office he found a pile of letters on his desk. These were from postmasters in various parts of the district and they contained lists of names of young men who could probably be induced to enlist. Postmaster Spekenhier, to assist the recruiting officer, had requested this information.

"Three months ago we were ord

ered to discontinue enlisting because

the navy had its full complement of men. Shortly afterwards, congress authorized the enlistment of 6,000 more

seamen. Up to the present time two

thousand men have been enlisted and

it won't be long before the other 4,000 men are secured," stated Mr.

Ferguson.

He says that Indiana ranks second among the states In the number of

men secured for the naval service. In

dianapolis is now the principal enlist

ing station. "The government wants young men of good character for the navy. The days of the old drunken sea dog have gone. He is now almost

a novelty in the service. His place has

been taken by young men who come mostly from inland states. These lads

are bright, steady and ambitious, and

as a result the personnel of the United States navy exceeds that of any other navy in the world. Our seamen

are the envy of all foreign naval offi

cers," said Yeoman Ferguson.

Beginning this week the local recruiting office will be open every Fri

day.

The United States navy union jack

is to be hoisted over the local post

office next week and the Richmond

post office will then have the distinc

tion of being the second post office in

the United States to float the battle flag of the Yankee sea fighters. The union jack Is to float from the pole over the post office because it is now

a permanent naval recruiting station, The first union jack ever hoisted ov er a post office was flung to the breez

es in Indianapolis. The event was ob

served with appropriate ceremonies

BRAVE DECATUR.

Badly Br.asht Vp Soldier.. During an official massacre at the village of Iyoukllah the Turkish commandanta fat major slept and smoked in the shade of a tree near the scene of carnage. The trumpet sounded for tbe assault, and the soldiers proceeded to rob, kill, burn, and violate. The trumpet next sounded the retreat, but the troop refused to obey, and the fat major continued to sleep and smoke. vVhen spoken to about the excesses of his men, he replied: "What can one do? They are so badly brought up!" Paris Macedoine.

Not1 Oyster Parties. Oyster parties are the great diversion ef the Spanish gentlemen who pay family visits to Vigo. The party goes out In a large flat bottomed boat. Then the oysters are fished up, opened and eaten on the spot, and a prize goes to the guest who can show most shells at the end of the day. In excuse it may be said that the Vigo oyster is small, for a prize winner will sometimes show as many as 200 shells.

The St.rr of HI. Fierce Attack on it

Trlpolltan Vessel.

Gardner W. Allen in bis book, "Our

Navy and the Barbary Corsairs," re

tells the old story of how Commodore Stephen Decatur, then a lieutenant in

the United States navy, attacked a

Tripolitan vessel. The incident occur

red in 1804, when Preble was lying off Tripoli. Young Decatur had been told that the captain of this vessel had treacherously murdered his brother, John Decatur, after he had surrendered to him. Mr. Allen writes: "He ran

alongside and at once boarded with

Macdonougu and the remnant of his crew. Decatur singled out the captain.

a man of great size and strength, and

attacked him furiously. The Tripoli

tan made a thrust with his boarding

pike, and in attempting to parry the

blow Decatur's cutlass was broken off at the hilt, leaving him for the moment unarmed. Another thrust of the

pike wounded him in the arm. Decatur

Beized the weapon, wrenched It away

and grappled with his antagonist. Aft er a short struggle they fell to the deck

with Decatur on top.

"Meanwhile the two crews were fight

lng furiously about their leaders, and a Tripolitan aimed a blow at Decatur's head with his scimiter, when a seaman

named Daniel Frailer, having both arms disabled by wounds, interposed his bead and received the blow, which

laid open the scalp. The Tripolitan

captain, being more powerful than De

catur, soon turned him underneath and, holding him down with his left hand

drew a knife and was about to plungft

It Into his breast.

".Decatur seized the uplifted arm

with his left hand, while he managed

to get his right into his pocket, where be had a pistol. Giving it the proper

direction, he fired through the pocket

The giant relaxed his hold and fell

dead. Having lost seventeen killed. In

eluding their leader, the seven surviv

lng Tripolitan. four of whom were

wounded, soon gave up the fight.

DID YOU EVER WONDER-

Why a baby carriage Isn't known as

a cry cycle?

Why it is so much easier to be wrong

than it is to be president?

Why some people manage to talk a

great deal without saying anything?

Why so many of our coming men

seem to be handicapped from the start? Why the company that issues the

map has tbe only curveless railroad

thereon?

Why the average man Invariably

makes a fool of himself every time he tries to act up? Why men are nearly always embarrassed when they propose either financially or otherwise? Why so many men who are anxious to work when sick are just as anxious to avoid It when well? Why some men are not as black as they are painted and some are not as white at they are whitewashed?

A Dollar Saved is a Dollar Made

This advertisement tells how you can save a dollar on your next pair of shoes.

Our Felt man Special $2.50 Shoe For Men This is a $2.50 shoe in price only. In all other respects It Is a $3.50 shoe as sold by merchants today. The dollar difference in price represents the difference between a shoe with the "profits" which a dealer has adiled to it, and one stripped of all these 'profits." In our Feltman Special shoe we eliminated every one of these profits except a very small one for ourselves. We went direct to the factory. It required no extra expense upon our part, over those already existing in our shoe store, to handle this shoe, so we entirely cut out the margin for expenses. Our own profit we fixed, not with a view of how much we could make on a .pair of shoes, but rather how much we could cut off of the price. We were establishing a price that would win business not merely in our own locality, but all over the country, and we must get that price so low that strangers would go to the trouble of sending us their orders. We knew that just a little saving would not induce them to do this. It must be a big saving. So we cut down the price enough to effect the saving of an even dollar on a pair of $3.50 shoes. This left a mighty small profit for us; but we reasoned that it is not the profit on one pair that counts, but the total volume of business done. The demand is growing at a constantly increasing ratio and we intend to carry Its sale wherever men wear shoes. It is superior to many and the equal of any $3.50 shoe on the market. We believe you want to save money on your purchases if you can. Every intelligent man wants to do that, unless he has money to throw away. After you wear the shoes and find them to be the best you ever bought for the money, give us your business and tell your friends. Very respectfully, CHAS. H. FELTMAN. Richmond, Ind.
