Each township delegation will appoint Its own representative to act as director for a period of six months or a year, according to the constitution adopted. Ten Delegates Expected. Each member of the organization i committee is to be held personally re sponsible for the bringing of a delega tion of ten and at the meeting held last Saturday, every member promised to bring two neighbors. However, po litical meetings are being held in some townships tomorrow afternoon and these may take a few from the farmers' meeting. Among the things which will be con- j sidered at the meeting of the general I body of the organization tomorrow af-1 ternoon after the board of directors ! are elected are: Preventative campaign for hog chol-1 era. The introduction of serum to , many farmers who hitherto have re-1 fused to accept it in good faith is contemplated. Push Coys' Club.

WHO OWNS WHEEL? IT'S BIGJUESTIOII Judge and Prosecutor Unable to Determine Ownership of Bicycle. Even with the services of an interpreter, Mayor Robbins and Prosecutor Reller found it difficult to take evidence in the case of Frank Dozza, a Hungarian, charged with stealing a bicycle from , the Charles Johanning Plumbing company. Alex Vari, who now has possession of the wheel, told the mayor that he had bought a wheel from Dozza last fall. The bicycle, which is now being held by the police, is a Pope cycle and was purchased, it is said, from the Dunning bicycle shop by Charles Johanning in 1910. Dozza claims that he bought a bicy-i cle from a Polish second hand dealer in Dayton, O., in June. He claims the machine was a Smith's Special. Through an interpreter Vari, who claims the bicycle at this time, says that he purchased a wheel from Dozza but that a man named George Henry broke the frame and in return got him the wheel he now has. The wheel wa,s positively Identified even to the serial and license number by James Dubus, an employe of the Johanning company. Dozza averB that a man whose name is Louis Archie, no longer a resident of Richmond, left the wheel at the Dozza home many months ago. When Henry broke the bicycle owned by Vari then Henry got the second wheel from Dozza to give Vari, to replace the broken bicycle. In police court the case was partially heard but was set over until tomorrow morning, when George Henry and other mixed in the affair will be

Nearly all were unconscious when picked up by the crew of the Bellaventure and were given such first aid treatment as the ship offorded. The dead seamen probably will be buried Sunday. Although the sealer. Southern Cross with a crew of 175 was reported to have reached Channell, N. F., there has been no confirmation of this report, and grave fears are felt for her safety. The Bellaventure reported that another blizzard is sweeping down the Labrador banks, following the fatal storm of Tuesday, and this increased fear fof the Southern Cross and others of the sealing fleet which have not reported.

TEMPERANCE WORKER OPPOSES DISPLAYS Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, of Liberty, Starts Crusade Against Attractions. IXDIANAPOLIS. April 3. Something should be left to the imagination in the display of women hosiery and corsets and other daintv feminine affections. Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, of Liberty, Ind.. declared before the semiannual institute of the Marion county organization or the Woman's Christina Temperance Union in session here. Department store advertising managers and window drapers have torn the veil of modesty from entirely too much of the lingerie, Mrs. Stanley declared and women should insist on keeping something to themselves even unto the third or fourth strata s. The hundred delegates endorsed Mrs. Stanleys stand and a movement to have some discretion instilled into the advertising was started. The art of window displays Involves no delicate points of view, as pictures of "September Morn" shows. Clothing store dummies in the nude are merely vulgar and to put corsets and stockings on them and nothing else is only making matters worse, the temperance worker Insists. .
