ALL SCRAMBLING TO CLIMB WAGflll Colored Od(J Fellows Select Richmond for Next Year's Convention. LIST IS GROWING RAPIDLY

CITY BEING BETTER ADVERTISED THROUGHOUT STATE THAN EVER AND SO WILL BE HUB OF SECTION.

Another convention for Richmond! At the meeting of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellowg of Indiana at Anderson yesterday afternoon it was decided to. hold the convention next year in this city. That Richmond is on the boom is demonstrated by the fact that this is about the fifth convention that will be held in this city next year. The chief object of all of the organizations of the city is to bring as many conventions here as possible and the spirit in which they have sought to establish this end and the impetuous with which they proceeded to carry it is very gratifying. Without doubt the conventions are a great thing for Richmond from every standpoint, commercial as well as educational. No serious difficulty has been, experienced in bringing the conventions to Richmond. In practically every instance the efforts of those who have been interested in the welfare of this city have been crowned with success. No trouble would have been experienced In bringing the Y. M. C. A. convention to this city next year were it not for the fact that Kokomo is raising funds for a new $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building at present and needed the Impetus the convention will give. All of the lodges of the city have signified their willingness to exert every influence toward bringing the various conventions , to Richmond next year and it is probable that still others will be added to the list.

Why do actura o often wear Ions hair? I'erhaps this, is the reason: There once was a statute in England under which actors found wandering were liable to be branded through the right ear. The long hair concealed the decoration,' and thus the custom was started.

GOV. MARSHALL IS WAIITEOTB TALK Considerable Interest Attached to What He May Say on Tariff. A PRESIDENTIAL CHANCE

MAY HANG ON HIS REMARKS AS HE HAS OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE IN NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Indianapolis, Aug. 5. Considerable Interest attaches now to what Governor Marshall may have to say on the subject of the tariff, after the tariff bill has been passed by congress. It is known that the governor has some very pronounced views on this subject and as he always says what he thinks, what he says will probably be interesting. Another reason why it Is of interest to know his views Is that they have much to ; do with deciding the question of whether or not he will be a figure in the race for the nomination for president in 1912. If he speaks out on the tariff and strikes a popular chord with the rank and file of his party he will surely stand a good chance of receiving the nomination. But on the other hand if he should happen to speak out and make a bad break on the subject he would be like the man who talked himself out of a job. It is not known that he intends to say anything, but the country, especially the democratic party, will watch for something from him. BODY WASJSHIPPED. iThe body of Mrs. Agnes M. Schilderink who died yesterday was sent to her former home in Covin.gton, Ky., this morning where the funeral and interment will take place. THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

The Humane Society is one of the most worthy organizations of the city and there is one thing that we would suggest for them to do In- Women's behalf. And that is to compel all their husbands to furnish them with rub-a-lac for their Monday's washing. Save your wife and you save about all you have. Rub-a-lac will help to do it.

ECCENTRIC TRICKS Telephone Cub Up Like a Naughty Child and Then You Wonder Why.

TO ADJUST APPARATUS

What a delightful habit the telephone has obtained recently in cutting j one off when in the middle of a con- j versation and then after waiting sev- j eral seconds establishing connection all by itself again. Has it ever oc- j cur red to you? If it did, did you not get sore at the party on the other end j of the line and accuse fehem of hang- j ing up the receiver? Probably you did, but after a few such attempts over the phone and - you have learned that it was a bad habit of the phone you no doubt ceased blaming the party at the other end of the system. j Officials of the company are aware that the automatic system is not working properly and are endeavoring to adjust the apparatus. They hope to have conditions remedied in a few days. The company has experienced much hard luck this spring and summerfirst a fire in the exchange room damaging many phones, then a lightning storm, etc. RAILROAD WORKS FULLSEVEII DAYS Hurrying Its Construction With Foreign Laborers.

BREAKING GROUND ISjlfSTBICTED Wheat Acreage Will Be Less Than Usual. Cambridge City, Ind., Aug. 5. Many farmers in this locality are breaking ground preparatory to the sowing of wheat. It is predicted that the acreage sown will not be nearly so large' as usual, owing to the fact that it is estimated that three-fourths of the wheat put out in this section of the country, is sown in the corn. The latter was so badly blown, and broken by the recent storm that this form of seeding will be almost impossible. GIANTS SECURE GAME.
