GOV. STUBBS IS EXPECTED

IF KANSAS EXECUTIVE GOES TO WASHINGTON HE HAS PROMISED TO STOP OFF HERE FOR THE BANQUET. The banquet committee Is etlll In hopes that Governor Stubbs of Kansas will be present at the banquet on Monday evening. The governor desires to attend a meeting of governors at Washington on the 10th and the committee so timed the banquet that It will be possible for him to stop off here, which he said he would do if he went to Washington. There la, however, no lack of talent fpr the banquet. The committee members believe they have secured some of the best speakers in Indianapolis, for this kind of an occasion. Judge Thompson is a great scholar as well as a popular speaker and religious worker. He is the law critic for the great publishing bouse of Bobbs-Mer-rill Co., and is himself an author. He Is best known to the religious world as the great Sunday school teacher, having a class numbering about one thousand men. A man capable of doing that for many successive years, is a personality in whose presence everyone will find interest and profit. His subject at the banquet will be "A Citizenship that Counts." Dowling on the List. The Hon. Henry M. Dowling, the exiPresident of the State Railroad commission, who has already made for imself a reputation as a brilliant attorney, and who still has found time to devote to religious work, along the lines of Bible class teacher and Y. M. C. A. worker, will talk on "The Young Man." His earnestness and enthusiasm are always inspiring. The Hon. Thomas C. Day, who is at the head of a strong financial institution at Indianapolis, is so full of quaint humor and philosophic wit that he becomes interesting from his first sentence. His skill as a toastmaster, will be remembered with pleasure by those who attended the Kokomo Y. M. C. A. convention. He is thoroughly familiar with the practical side of Y. M. C. A. movements, and is one to whom the city of Indianapolis always looks for guidance and direction in financing public charities and benevolences. His large and practical business experience, coupled with the public spirit, generosity and Christianity has put him to. the fore front of Indianapolis's most valuable citizens. His subject, "The Business Man and tha Association." should 'be heard by all our Richmond business men. The tickets for the banquet may be had at the office of the Y. M. C. A. and any citizen will be welcome, but should not delay the purchase. Notify the secretary by postal card or telephone to reserve tickets. They are going pretty lively now. and when the full number is sold, the sale must stop. BINGHAM IS UPHELD He Has Common Law Right to Bring Suit Against Insurance Companies.

A MERE MAN'S NOTION.

Refuses Wife Conveniences He Adopts In His Business. Mere man buys his wife a cook stove and a kitchen sink and a few pots and pans and thinks he's provided bis wife with all the modern conveniences. Hasn't sbe a gas stove and refrigerator? It oughtn't to be hard to keep house. And yet the wife looks bedraggled and tired and is everlastingly chasing the bugbear of work and never catching it. With the kitchen stove and the re frigerator man thinks he's done bis duty toward the working equipment be offers his wife. In bis own store, office or business he is always figuring out new ways of doing things to save time and labor. New machines to do in an hour what it took a man a week to do and new methods to save time are what he's after. Yet if mere man's wife suggests that a shelf be built above the kitchen sink or that be make her a drain board mere man can't see it. In many large manufacturing concerns high nalaried men are kept busy all the time working out new methods that might lessen the cost of production. Some of these experiments take years to work out and perfect before they can be used. But the average woman takes the old way for granted and never stops to count the cost. Too many kitchens just grow. They were never thought out. In the old fashioned bouse they are big and rambling and inconvenient. As a man expresses it in a current magazine article: "Most kitchens are too large, which brings the tire of the wheel too far away from the hub." If you can't stand in the center and by taking a step or two reach everything on the stove, table, sink, closet and refrigerator, theu you are daily taking wearing steps, spending needless time. Most women let well enough alone. They don't analyze the process by which they do their work. If custom says. "Thou shalt keep thy china dishes in the china closet in the dining room." then it follows as the night the day that china dishes are kept there and not in bandy cupboards not far from sink and the work table and the stove in the kitchen. Now, what is the result? Draw a diagram if you can't understand. Let X be a cream pitcher in the china closet and let X be you in the kitchen. Now start your series of dotted lines and count the trips you make to use that pitcher at one meal. From the kitchen to the china closet, then back to the kitchen. Fill the pitcher and put It on the table back in the dining room. Return the pitcher to the kitchen to be washed and finally put it once more in the china closet. Five trips in aU. If it were kept In the kitchen two trips would be made and the number of steps, taken would be cut down Just three-fifths of tbe total amount. Now, if a manufacturer could discover a process by which three-fifths of a given amount of labor could be saved he would patent his invention and proceed to make a fortune. But not so with a woman. She walks miles to tin cupboards that could Just as well be built beside tbe sink and journeys far carrying things to their places only to get tbem out again and put them in other places,

The absence of brass button.- and the big stick caused Patrolvian lineman to be rudely iusulteil by a small boy this' morning w';o didn't know he was talking to a ""cop." The lad was coasting down the North Fifth street hill on his new Christmas sled and did not pay much attention to the fact that there were others who desired to use the hill also, for he bumped into several pedestrains and sent them sprawling into the gutter. The boy's actions were noticed by Patrolman Longman but the officer was not in uniform and his warning "t cut out such recklessness" did not produce the

desired effect it would have otherwise. Instead, the urchin promptly told the big policeman to go to a real bad. hot place and the dignity of the law suffered a severe shock. Longman snatched up the kid's sled and took it to hedqnarters while the boy gasped when he realized what a narrow escape he had had from being "pinched" and wondered if he would be able to work up sufficient nerve to go after bis coaster. A POST OFFICE (American News Service) Chattanooga, Jan. 13. The postoffice at Ringgold, Ga., eighteen miles from here was dynamited early today. The thieves got six hundred dollars worth of stamps, twenty-five dollars in currency and twenty-five dollars belonging to the postmistress. HE RETURNS MONEY AFTER TWO YEARS Peculiar Action of Former County Clerk of Shelby Taken Today. A SENSATION RESULTED MICHAEL O. SULLIVAN, HOWEVER, GIVES NO REASON FOR HIS LONG DELAY COUNTY BOOKS BEING AUDITED. (American News Service) Shelbyville. Ind., Jan. 15. Former county clerk, Michael O. Sullivan of Shelby county has sprung a surprise on the county treasurer by turning over $533 which he calls unclaimed witness fees and $1,178 "clerk's fees."

LOCAL SUPPLY IS SMALL

ONE SHIPMENT HAS REACHED HERE AND IT IS PROBABLE THAT THERE WILL BE NO OTHERSNEW DESIGNS. If you're going to buy your girl a valentine, better buy it now, because they are going to be mighty scarce in Kichmond this year. Local dealers are beginning to worry for fear there will be a valentine famine all over the country this year. The cause is attributed to the burning down of the plant of the George C. Whitney company at Worcester. Mass.. yesterday. This was the largest plant for making valentines and Easter cards in the world. Millions of valentines were destroyed in the fire and the equipment was ruined. It is said that tbe valentine trade is threatened and that there will be a great shortage in the supply. It will be impossible now for that fim to fill the orders from dealers all over the country. May Mean Increase. Practically all of the valentines which are sold in thi? city come from Worcester, it is said, and the local dealers had already placed their orders with the concern in that city. The result of the destruction of the large plant will probably mean an increase in tbe price of lentines, owing to their scarcity. The first and very probably the last shipment of the little tokens of love and friendship arrived today and the local merchants are busily engaged in decorating their windows in prepara tion for the rush. The few valentines that have arrived in this city are un usually attractive tbis year and con sist of many new and unique designs, from the inexpensive one-cent variety to beautiful specimens of skilled han diwork, costing as much as $5. While the novelty man has been racking his brain for new suggestions in the way of designs, the idea of these little message bearers is ever the same, and the old, old 8tj-y will be retold until the end of time. The picture of Cupid fluttering about on the wings of Love, will always remain the central figure and the verses underneath will not change materially, in thought at least. as the years go by. In view of the possibility that then will not be another shipment of valen tines In this city, the local merchants are anticipating a heavy sale in the next few days. NO COUNCIL MONDAY It Will Meet and Adjourn Till Tuesday on Account of Y. M. C. A.
