C To See A nd Be Seen The plana lor the visit of Richmond people to so to the Wright cele- - Oration at Dayton on June 18 are rapidly nearing completion and theyv , will be perfected within a very short time. . After the arrangement! have been made, tt is simply up to the peo Iple of Richmond. There are twq mala reasons for going.' . ..To. see and to be seen. ..,,..; There are probably some people who would put it the other way . around." " ' - . -. . '

ON SEEING . y We all know that Peyton is a progreastTe town. It has. increased its - business over and over again. There is no doubt about that." Richmond ; is trying to do the same thing We predict that ' not a man will go to Dayton and look at the Wright celebration without feeling that he has ' taken a new view of what ought to be done in Richmond. That is what we all need to feel. Most of us need to see what a real live town can do when it gets started. , ..- : 1 There will be a Fall Festival In this town this fall. If the people of Richmond will go over to Dayton and see the activity of the whole town

not a little group of individuals he will come away filled with a desire to make Richmond come up to a corresponding activity. . Every man in Dayton every live man that ;ls Is bustling. Money has not been spared The mayor of the town is working with his coat off. (That is a' strange sight in some places). Every one is doing what Richmond will have to do. That is one reason why we ought to go over there and learn how this can be done and done right.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

The Rivers Are Still There. From the New York Sun. It is easy to understand the Mississippi valley politician who in one breath paints radiant pictures of the great ' river swarming ' with re-created fleets and in the next breath demands that congress shall appropriate untold millions for deep water-ways so as to make those commercial navies possible. He is in his business for what It will produce in available cash. He wants "boards" everywhere, countless myriads of paid agents and nrefrashing shower of 1 government money through fifteen anxious and receptive states.' Then ne can point with pride to his work as a rainmaker, and whether as a congressman or a local legislator or in still more lucrative position of a "bo$s" he will grow fat with Influence p.nd take a new lease on his Job. But . Just why the merchants, the shippers, the producers and the traders of the valley, if they believe their interests will be promot

ed by a restoration of the old steam

boat Hres, do not get together and

revive f ancient conditions is not so

clear. . The Mississippi is as deep and

as navigable as it ever was. We have just had evidence that the largest vessels can go as high up as Natchez about four hundred miles from the Gulf of Mexico. All well informed persons were aware of that, as Indeed

they are aware of the. further fact

that the river is entirely practicable

for hundreds of miles above Natches and throughout the system of its confluents and tributaries the Ohio,

the Missouri, -the Cumberland, the

Tennessee, the Arkansas,. the Raiev

en the Yazoo and the innumerable

accessories that drain a domain larger than France, with Spain and Portugal

thrown in for lagnappe.

ON BEING SEEN

' There is what many people will consider a still greater reason for going to Dayton. We are talking not only to business men, but to the citizens who have to live in Richmond and the neighborhood of Richmond. - That is on being seen: " - ' Some people call it advertising. f It will be a wonderfully good thing for the prestige of Richmond to have the outside world know that there is still a place named Richmond alive and doing business. It will be a better thing than most of us imagine. Don't you remember when the Cincinnati . Business Men's- club came up here last year to our Fall Festival. They came they were seen they went away. But they left an impression. And there were not many of them. Richmond will have a larger delegation over in Dayton , in all probability than the Cincinnatians had here. And Richmond is already getting attention in this matter. We will not be overlooked. . Last night the Dayton News carried a story stating that Richmond is coming. over. ' "Chartered traction cars will be used in bringing the greater part of Richmond's citizens to Dayton. The people will come under the auspices of the Young Men's Business club. A bugle corps and drum corps are to accompany the 'delegation. The Richmondites are to incidentally boom their own city, because Orvllle and Wilbur Wright once attended school there. Their big fall . , festival is also to be advertised. The city in general is . ... i planning big for "the trip."' ' '

Fly Fighting. From' the Indianapolis News. CIvi

lizatlon follows the trail of the fly

catcher rather than the cow catcher.

The plague of flies that was sent on

the Egyptians would. In the . mind of

the modern agent of sanitation, easily rank as the greatest of all plagues.

"The fly In the ointment" means that

there can be no anointing. Health

boards - everywhere are sounding

warnings against . the fly. The old

fashioned housewife who allowed neither light nor air in her parlor lest

a fly enter w-s fighting the battle all

alone. There ought to be no flies in a civilized 1 community, but until we reach that blessed state the battle must go on. The fly is the product

of filth and should be feared as ty

phoid fever or any other scourge There Is no excuse for. It, yet it ex ists. The screen door is a confession.

and at the same time a necessary protection, 'i Until the whole community joins in the battle to prevent the breeding of flies every one must alike

guard against the winged poison that

is everywhere in the summer air.

vTsrror in Chicago.

From the Chicago Post. A reminis

cent touch of the mad. wild wavs of

our younger day was given Chieaso yesterday: i when City Forester Prose Issued public warnings "against the planting of dense shrubbery along

parkway, pectuse of its use is a place

of concealment ; by hold-up men." And won't the Indians use it. too? Will not the savage Pottawattomles

ambush us on our way downtown if we permit anything larger than a violet to grow . along our defenseless boulevards? And how about the trees

wfclch Mr. 'Prost is going to set out

Won't the wildebeest and the band

arlog take pot shots at us from their leafy branches? Evidently the public safety demands that all. living things of green within the city walls shall be

torn : out at once. Either that, or

we'll til hare to carry firearms, as

we did when Capt. Whistler held away

over old Fort Dearborn. -

The Menace of Rabies.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

That rabies Is a disease-preventable by strict quarantine and by strictly enforoad regulations concerning dogs Is a fact that is likely to be more and more Impressed upon the consciousness of this cosouonjBity, if the reports to the state lira stock aaaJtary board

After that it will hardly do not to go. Is Richmond going to throw away this opportunity? .For it isH opportunity. , ; It is an opportunity to learn how to take an interest In your own town. It 1b an opportunity to let the world see that Richmond is not composed of dead ones. It is an opportunity to let people knoW that we are going to have a Fall Festival. It is an opportunity to' demonstrate that we have a real

interest in Richmond.

harvest, at $1.25 per bushel, are being made by farmers of this county with the millers, according to the

statement of a well known farmer.

Consequently they are expecting . to make a very good profit on this season's crop, provided the rain does not

spoil everything, which, from pres

ent conditions, appears slightly prob

able.

.Such a price at the time of the harv

est season has never been paid in this

community. The present wholesale

price of $1.50 cents per bushel is also

the highest ever paid In the memory

of local millers, and the fact that they believe the price will remain high.

accounts for their willingness to con

tract ahead of time at such a high fig-

Lure.

A Fair-sized Yield.

The price paid , for new wheat will

be equal to that now being paid for last season's crop. The shrinkage in

the crop as it grows older accounts

for this fact.

Few farmers are expecting any

thing better than a fair-sized yield

from this season's crop. Conditions

at the time of . planting . last fall, when it was so dry, were very unfavorable for a good yield. Many a field

planted in wheat last fall was plowed up this spring because farmers had

thought it would be a losing venture.

OTHER REASONS

If there were no other reasons there is no doubt about the celebration being worth going to see. Things of this sort do not happen every day.'''. . ',..,.,; , When Fulton invented the Steamboat a hundred years ago there was not the same spirit shown. It took men years to find out that travel had been revolutionized. - Here are the - Wrights who have achieved the near impossible. Here are the Wrights wjo "have been t connected with this county and this .city. Here are men whose relatives still live in this community. Kings and emperors- the scientists of other countries, all the people of Intellect and power have gone hundreds of miles to see their exhibitions whert they were in Europe. Today the Wrights are the most famous Americans. All Europe went wild and journeyed to look at the most accomplished inventors of the day. ' - ' ..-'--'V f Richmond is debating on whether it will go forty miles with all the arrangements made to see this celebration and that when Richmond has some little claim to the Wright brothers in point of nativity!! With all this true will it not be an excellent thing to go and prove to the surrounding' country that we have at least an appreciation of our duties as well as our opportunities? There may be some dead ones who are afraid a nickel will get out of town by allowing a crowd to go over to Dayton, but these men are not worth considering. ; They will not count for much in the business world here when this spirit of "go-ahead" advances a little more in the town. .Except for the added business that they receive from the efforts of their competitors to build up the town they will not be in business. ; So to all the live people in the town we say: Go to Dayton, and Dayton will come here when we have s omething worth while.

TOT k PAULADIUII. flT AD

Prosecutor Ladd is trying to arrange

suitable time to try the case of the

state vs. Alonzo Feemster, the Cam

bridge attorney. Feemster is charged with assault and battery on the Rev. William Walters, former pastor of the Methodist church at Cambridge City.

The two engaged in a fight several

months ago and the minister was badly worsted after he had ceased his

scuffling with the attorney.

The case has been filed in a justice's

court at Cambridge, but the trial has

been continued a number of times.

The first delay resulted from the inability of the minister to appear in

court as the result of his injuries.

Feemster was out of the city for sever:

al weeks and another delay occurred.

Now the minister has been transferred to another charge in the' district and a

trial can not be held without him be

ing summoned.

The prosecutor said today he might

dismiss the case in the justice court

and file it anew in the circuit court.

He probably would secure a Quicker trial if that course were followed. The

case could be heard without the inter

vention of a jury.
