PREVENT THE FLY IS TO BE SLOGAN
Local Boy: Scouts To Assist in Crusade Against the Pests. "Prevent the Fly" will be one of the Slogans of the Boy Scouts of America this summer and Richmond Boy Scouts will assist. The boys will go scouting Xor th fly. Though last year "Swat tbe fly" was their motto, a plan of campaign has been outlined for them which goes more effectively into the question of eradicating those disease bearing pests. A plan has been worked out by Geo. H. Merritt. Publieation Secretary to the National Headquarters, under the direction of James E. West, Chief Scout Executive. This plan provides for the co-operation of the boy scouts throughout the country with the City Boards of Health and the State Boards of Health, or any other organisation that is carrying on an active campaign against the fly. Cards bearing the motto "Prevent the Fy" will be sent to the boy scouts These cards will contain not only the life-history of flies and give a picture of the damage they do, out also will contain specific Instructions for the scouts. First: the scouts will be urged to "swat the fly"; namely to kill the old . ones that have lived through the winter time, or are the first brood of the spring season. Second: they will go scouting for .the breeding places for flies, such as stables, pig stys, garbage cans and the like, for by cleaning up those places they preent the fly. If the breeding place 'is a stable, the scout will go first to the owner and will endeavor to get him to sign a promise to keep stable clean. Third: If the scout finds a garbage can that is riot being taken care of properly, he will report it to the city authorities, i Fourth: if he finds breeding places that are not being properly cared for jand no available means are provided jfor cleaning up these places, he and companion scouts will undertake the work themselves. The plan is to divide up each city ;ad town into sections and appoint a troop to look after that section. As 'a troop has several patrols the section will be sub-divided so that each 'patrol will have a separate district to cover.
OBITUARY. Esther Elizabeth Henson, little daughter of Lewis O. and Flora Henson, was born in Richmond, Ind., March 7, 1912 and died April 4, 1913. Aged, 1 year and 27 days. .She came as. a little angel into the home. She came with the touch of love and beauty to .heer her parents and to make the household bright Like the rose that blooms in the garden and casts its fragrance and its beauty out to others and attracts the attention all about it. So this little angel baby came down to earth and has bound the affections of her parents and many others to her and has gone to Heaven. And so her dear friends have the ties of love binding them to the Heavenly Father's Kingdom. Loving, beckoning hands beckoned them to Heaven. A short life indeed only one brief year, but if by her loe she has made hearts more tender, more receptive of the Heavenly Father's love. She hath done a great work, and gone home to be with Jesus.

(Continued from Page One.)
A fair sized audience attended the Gennett theater, Saturday night to see Henrietta Crosman in "The Real Thing." The play is one which appeals in every cense to the average theater goer, portraying domestic life in phases which amuse everyone and which appeals strongly to the human interest side of life. The story of the play Is based upon a woman, who after years of society life has settled down by the fire-side to devote her entire time to her children and household duties. Dress and amusement have been discarded. When her sister visits her she is very much surprised at her attire and habits of life. Her husband being fond of tennis and bridge enjoys the company of a pretty girl in the neighborhood. While tbe wife is busy with home duties the husband is amusing himself by indulging in harmless amusement in company with the young woman. Arriving on the scene Henrietta Crosman, as the sister of the wife, realizes that unless she can drag her sister back to the life she was leading at the time she was married she may lose her husband's love. She proceeds to do this and after her husband comes back from a vacation of three weeks learns of the rejuvenation which has occurred during his absence. Love plays a minor part In the play though "everything ends happily."
CARD OF THANKS. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Reliance 'Foundry Co., and their workmen, also the Helping Hand Bible Class and choir and the Union Mission and also many other friends and relatives for their help and sympathy during the sickness and death of our little Esther. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Henson.
which the following communication was read approve of the action of the company and will recommend immediate action to the council tonight: Dill's Statement. To the Board of Public Works and Common Council of the City of Richmond. Gentlemen : For several years negotiations have been pending between the City and this company relative to a new contract. In connection therewith certain improvements to the present plant were considered, including an additional pump, a second 20 in oh main line, auxiliary mains in the city, additional hydrants, and other minor improvements. If a contract had been negotiated, these improvements would have been completed at this time; but as you are aware, certain differences could not be adjusted to the satisfaction of the parties involved. On May 1st, the new Public Utility Law will go into effect and this company is now considering the advisability of relinquishing its franchise, and accepting the indeterminte permit aa provided by the new statute. The bonded indebtedness of the company matures Oct. 15, 1913, and
the improvements heretofore mentioned Involve an expediture of more than one hundred thousand dollars, making the financing of this sum a difficult problem on account of the expiration of the contract between the city and the company. This difficulty might be overcome through the Public Utility Commission, but the company realizes that several months may elapse before the Commission is in a position to consider and to act upon the questions Involved. The destruction of the 20 inch main on April 3rd, through no negligence on the part of this company, and which deprived the citizens of its water supply, has influenced the company to proceed voluntarily and at once with the installation of the second main line, and such auxiliary lines as the City deems necessary. Previous to the destruction of the main, surveys had recently been made for the second main, a consulting engineer was in the city on April 3rd to confer with the company on the installation of a new pump and other additions to the pumping station, and on March 24th, a contract for cast Iron pipe was made to cover the contemplated improvements. The company gives these facts to show its desire to keep its plant up to the highest standard, and although a contract with the city has not been entered into, it proposes to expedite these additions as rapidly as possible, believing that fair consideration will be given by the Utility Commission on all questions heretofore pending between the city and the company.

L. L. HARRIS MAKES STATEMENT TODAY.
"I offered to go on the bond of Al-
! fred Underhill because I did not think
he was receiving a square deal," stated L. L. Harris today. "I am not a relative of his, as was published." Mr. Harris also denied that he referred to the people of Richmond as "d n fools," but said he made the remark that there were a lot of darn fools In Richmond," and for that reason was ready to go on Underbill's bond in any sum up to $2,500. "I think Underhill was treated In a discourteous manner when he was arraigned," Mr. Harris added. "I formerly practiced law and when I appeared before the Indianapolis bar such bar tactics were not tolerated."
