Two large yellow and white banners have been suspended on each trolley wire crossing the street between Third and Twelfth while between each set of banners is bung a large American flag. Merchants Are Busy. The merchants will soon get busy on their stores and some of them have already commenced with the decorating of the fronts. The festival is expected to draw a record breaking crowd and the general consensus of opinion is that the affair will be much more largely attended this year than last. It has been more thoroughly advertised and the executive committee has profited by last year's experience. No time or expense has been spared in making the festival a grand success. It Is the talk of the surrounding country and never has more Interest been manifest In an event of this nature ia the state, It is said. Last year's Fall Festival demonstrated the fact that the farmers In this vicinity were impressed with the fact that Richmond afforded a great market for their product.

Their services were requested for the festival In order that the people may view the parades more comfortably and to better advantage. The company will also be instrumental in preventing accidents by aiding the police in keeping the crowds from pushing in on the line of parade. The decorators are also at work in the North End, and when their work is finished, they declare that Richmond will be more beautifully and artistically adorned than any other city in which they have ever undertaken the task.

Absent Minded " Prof Will Become an Extinct Species

Chicago, Oct. 2. The absent-minded professor, so long considered legitimate prey for joke-smiths, is to be eliminated from the field of education. The University of Chicago is preparing to open a department that will make absent-mindedness a thing of the past. Pedagogues of the future are to be trained so that they will have no inclination to wipe their fore heads with a textbook or trv to read Greek verse from a handkerchief. Not only this, but all other psycho logical ailments are to be cured by the new department, which will be a branch of the school of education of the university. The department will play doctor to students who are not making proper progress in their subjects, study their coses, diagnose their ailments and prescribe for their cure. All, however, will eventually be put through the psychological laboratory to learn why they don't do better work. The project will be conducted as a sort of physhological laboratory. First the patient will be put through a series of writing exercises. He will be given pencil and paper and will write in as many ways as he knows how. The doctors will time the perform ance, notice the ease in the script and make calculations as to the perform ance. The whole thing will be recorded and tabulated. Next the subject will be made to read from each of a set of books printed in different sized type. As he reads a doctor will take photographs of the movement of the eye and the eyeball. The same test will be used on different lengths of sentences and different styles of type. IS AT ITS HEIGHT Fly Season, Wearing Its Close, Proves to Be Most Undesirable. WAR ON THEM FRUITLESS The fly season is now at its height. With the advent of the cool nights the little winged pests forsake the chilly atmosphere of out of doors and seek shelter under cover of the houses where the steam heat is turned on. However, housewives of the city are rejoicing over the fact that the season is drawing to a close, as the approaching arctic gusts means death to the little insects. The flies are thicker and more annoying than ever just at this season of the year. The campaign conducted against the pest by the State Board of Health djd not succeed in driving the musca domestica, the fly's stage name, from the borders of the state. But the fight against this enemy of society which is said to carry as many as fiO.OOO germs tucked behind its right ear, and has a foot capacity of $2O,00O.000 germs, is being strenuously waged by the board and next year, It Is hoped will show a decrease in the number of pests. ENTERED MINISTRY The Rev. T. J. Graham, of the First Presbyterian church of this city took part in the services at Columbus, O.. last night, which marked the official union of Rev. Joseph Taylor Britan, recently of Yonkers, N. Y., with the Central Presbyterian church at Columbus. Rev. Graham was a classmate at Hanover college with Rev. Britan. The local minister's advice to the new pastor was to do the work as he used to play foot ball and not worry over results. "Be your noble self." concluded Rev. Graham, "six feet, one and one half inches of it, I believe." Pamela: Be sure to use Gold Medal Flour. Isabella.

Get a Husband in One Year and Win a $10 Easter Bonnet

Chicago. Oct. 2. A $10 Easter "lid" every year for ten years, thrown in with every husband only one allowed to each girl, however Is the alluring promise of the Women's Trade Union league to every girl belonging to the union who can find a husband. They don't actually specify a hat, but as they agree to give each girl who can show either an engagement ring or a marriage certificate, $10 cash a week or so before Easter, it doesn't require a Sherlock Holmes to figure out hov the money will be spent. This was decided on yesterday afternoon in Miss Anna Morgan's studio in the Fine Arts building at the meeting of the Women's Trade Union league. Of course, there was at once a wild clamor by the women who didn't want husbands. To appease them it was decided that those who dont want to get married," could get their $10 in the shape of "vacation money" each year. There were several fair ones of uncertain age who coyly admitted that they didn't want a hubbie, but did want the $10. This original method of winning girls to the union and winning husbands for the girls, called the "marriage dower system," had its origin in the difficulty experienced by labor organizers in persuading girls to join the union. Fear was expressed by a few of the married ones who showed little enthusiasm In the project at any time that the marriage mills would be so busy and run at such speed that poor work would result and the divorce mills would get busy next. The few men present at the meeting

Then the fatigue caused by the various readings will be noted if the patient becomes tired reading one size of print and whether another is more appealing to the eye. The next process is the testing of the memory and Sere it is expected that the greater failings will be found. Absent mindedness will be readily discovered and a psychological dissection performed. If a student's memory works best on thines that he has actually seen he will be made to exercise his mental power in remembering things that he has heard. If he remembers those things best which he has felt his prescription for his cranium capacity will be along other lines. Professor Judd. head of the school of education, says: "In this fashion, we hope to diagnose many individual cases and cause great improvement along psychological lines, and I hope to see the project a great iliccess. "There have bet n carried out in recent years in psychological laborator

ies many investigations which have had very close relation to educational problems, but the movement toward the development of a separate laboratory for such studios is relatively new. Such laboratories exist in Europe. The equipment of this laboratory at the University of Chicago will in some respects resemble the equipment of a psychological laboratory, but there will be special devices for investigating writing and reading, and the other forms of mental activity which are developed in school work. The organization of this laboratory promises much for the development of a science of education." HAD EIGHT ALARMS The fire department responded to eight alarms during the month of September. Three of the alarms were false. The fires were all small affairs and the total loss did not exceed $15. Fire Chief Ed Miller, who was injured by falling from a scaffold in front of the city building Wednesday afternoon is rapidly recovering from his injuries. The wound in his head is almost healed. The chief is still very stiff and sore, however, from the effects of his fall, but notwithstanding this fact is able to be at his accumtomed post of duty. BAD GANG WORKING A gang of shop lifters has Invested New Castle and business men of that city have suffered considerable loss recently. The problem which faces tha merchants of the Flower City is a serious one and scarcely a day passes, it is said, that a quantity of goods is not "lifted" from some establishment. The matter has assumed such serious proportions that a private detective agency in Indianapolis has been consulted and probably the services of two or three "Sleuth Foots" will be secured with the view of breaking up the practice. V. .' .t Soldier. At one of the London police courts a young hooligau was being tried for an assault on.au elderly man. The magistrate, noticing an old customer In the hooligan, thought he would give him a little fatherly advice, and remarked: "Young man, I'm surprised at a big, strong, healthy looking fellow like you always getting into trouble. Why, you seem to be always wanting to fight. Why don't you go for a soldier?" Imagine the smile which Illuminated the magistrate's face when the youth replied, "I did once, your honor, and he nearly '-'"- ' - " Queensland's Bananas. Over a million and a half bunches of bananas are grown In Queensland in a year. were wildly enthusiastic over the prospect. "It's the greatest forward step in the history of the labor movement," said one. "Even hardened old bachelors will jump at this opportunity of getting a wife and her Easter 'lid' for ten years thrown in. It's one of the grandest moves in the history of economics, and to think that I married last month," and he sighed softly and sadly left the room. The fourth day of the convention was devoted to discussions as to vari ous means to promote the growth of unionism among women. A resolution was introduced by Miss Louise La Rue of San Francisco, askine that the Chi nese exclusion law be extendi sn a i to apply to Japanese. Coreans and As-: atlcs of every sort. This will be acted on at today's meeting at the studio of Miss Anna Morgan, Fine Arts building. In Massachusetts, tree planting is systematically conducted along the publis highways. Fifteen thousand trees have been planted in a few years.

The Superior Elec trie Iron Sells for

These irons do not have "hot-points." The heat is evenly distributed, as it has to be, in a good electric iron. A "hot-point"-causes an iron to burn out sooner. Then you have to buy a new iron. We would rather sell you one iron and have you satisfied. A "hot-point" is a good advertising point It is the very worst kind of an ironing point. The bottoms of these irons are always hot, the handles are always cool. Do not make a mistake; buy the kind which you can depend upon.
