WOMEN MERGE CLUB CONCERNS TO GAIN IDEAS Persons From Suburban Districts Meet Domestic Science Body for Exchange of Working Plans. Women from many parts of Wayne county, attended the Reciprocity meeting, of the Domestic Science club of Richmond, and tbe different organlztions of country women , throughout the county, held In the new day nursery today. The Interest displayed by the -women of the country indicates that they have been making rapid advancement In their club work, and have been obtaining results. A talk by Mrs. Laura Doloff, president of the Home Economics club of the Columbian Farmers' association, on "Our Club," reflected the interest shown In the country women's club, and the benefits that can be derived from it. She told of the growth of this organization since its start, more than a year ago, and explained how the women had taken up the study of their home problems, and had gained broader vision of their opportunities. Other papers and talks showed the Intense interest which the country women are taking in the development of their home life, and were a revelation to th women of the city. Women were present from clubs representing the communities around Richmond, New Paris, Centerville, Greensfork and Hagerstown. Great interest was shown in the new day nursery project and many of the country women stated that they would be glad to take advantage of the privileges it offered, and would be glad to leave their children there when they bad to come to town for an extensive shopping trip.

POST OFFICE LOSES ON RURAL CARRIERS Beck Favors Doubling Rural Routes and Increasing Salaries of Few. "Something will have to be done to stop the losses all over the country on rural route service," said Postmaster Beck today. "This office is losing seventy-five per cent on rural route men or about $7,500 a year. "I believe the plan announced by Postmaster General Burleson will help to solve the problem. This provides for combining some of the routes and paying carriers $1,800 annually for carrying two routes. "The carriers here receive $1,200 a year. Some of them have completed their work by 10 o'clock in the morning. Figuring this down, they make about $1 an hour for this service. Of course these men have machines while those with wagons cover their routes in double that time. "By condensing all the rural routes out of this office, we could save $2,400 a year. While we may never be able to double up all routes because of their location, probably will be able to make some saving. A small saving in all the offices of the country would make an enormous amount of mouey." MODERATOR'S SONS TAKE EXAMINATION Dayton Presbytery Closes Sessions at Preble County by Admitting Applicants.

FEDERAL INSPECTOR REPAIRS PLUMBING LOCAL POST OFFICE With no reflection on local masters of the gentle art of plumbing. Major Washington Haverstick, building inspector of the treasury department, has it all around them, according to Postmaster Beck. The postmaster was also initiated into the plumber's trade today. Major Haverstick was making the annual inspection of the post office when he was informed that plumbers galore have failed to prime the plumbing system and put it in working order. Haverstick made the adjustments himself and soon had Postmaster Beck working at it. Parts which have not been working for a year, are now in excellent condition. Although the inspection has not been completed. Major Haverstick said the building is in good condition. ANNULLING DIVORCE MAKES MAN SPOUSE OF HIS TV0 WIVES Thomas Slick, 72, of Greenville, O., became the husband of two wives, in circuit court by decree of Judge Fox as the result of an order setting aside the divorce he received from his first wife on false testimony here. Slick never appeared worried over his plight. He was brought before Judge Fox this morning and was notified that his divorce decree was opened. He was then given an opportunity to prove the allegations and oaths in his complaint filed early in 1913, but he failed to do so. The judge issued the order setting aside the divorce at noon and Slick was from that time guilty of bigamy. This case will be handled by the state of Pennsylvania if Slick fails to secure a divorce from one of his wives. His second wife lives in Beaver Falls and his first wife, from whom he was divorced until noon today is a resident of Galion, O. The state of Indiana also has a charge of perjury against Slick, but Prosecutor Reller agreed to withhold action, releasing Slick on hia own recognizance. GET APPOINTMENTS. Frederick G.

MORTGAGE HOLDERS BRING EXEMPTIONS "Mortgage exemptions are coming in swiftly," said a deputy in the office of Auditor Bowman today. The exemptions filed number about 500 and it is estimated that 500 to 600 more will be filed before the first day of May, when the period for filing the exemptions closes. It is estimated that the total exemptions filed now amount to $12,000 to $15,000. Under the Indiana laws, exemption from taxation can be taken on only $700. Many of the exemptions

are for smaller amounts ranging from

$100 to $500. The close of the season Is looked forward to with interest to see if this year's exemptions will equal last years. In tbe months previous to March 1, 1914, it was much easier to secure money on mortgages than it has been in the year since then and it is believed less mortgages are held this year. Last year between 1,100 and 1,200 exemptions were filed. A French scientist, who has been experimenting for eighteen years to ascertain the effects of low temperature on fish and animals, has found that common snails can withstand the greatest amount of cold.
