THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1915

RAINS AID FARMERS INCREASING PROSPECT OF RECORD HARVEST

Rains of the past few days in most lections of the country are put down

Cn the profit side for the farmers. Al

though crop prospects have been helped by the rain there has been some

weakness in market value of grains, but this will be more than offset by

'.he good brought about by the increas d moisture.

Farmers welcomed the rain, which was needed to give the crops a good Start. Winter wheat will yield well nd the crop Is sure to be harvested

rarlier than usual. Not only will the rain help the crops, but pastuies will s:row better, as the ground was dry and grass did not seem to get the prop

er growth.

Spring rains means many dollars to

the farmers, and will be some time be

fore complaints will be heard about the land being too dry. Everything in the country will take on a new look because of the recent downpours. All

that is needed is some warm weather

to make everything grow. Market Live Stock.

In some sections farm work has

utopped for the time being, but it will

not be long before farmers are again able to get back in the fields. They have not been idle, however, as the recent rains gave them a chance to ship stock to market without losing

time.

At Chicago alone on Monday there

were 18.745 cattle, 51,942 hogs and

13,829 sheep. The hog run was the largest since January and proved that

there still are many swine in the coun

try.

If the farmers get rain all season at

as opportune times as the past few

days they will be assured of bumper

crops, which will mean big proms, be cause good prices are anticipated.

EARLHAM HEIGHTS

PLANS BIG SERVICE

About fifteen members of the

brotherhood of Earlham Heights

church were present at the meeting

last night to hear the address of Rev

Stovall who pointed on the need of

the church for men and the men's need of the church. He emphasized the fact that more men yearly are

taking hold of the church and working In its interests. Reports of committees were heard and the proposition to follow up the work of the Visitation was discussed. Plans are well under way for the uniting of all the services at the Earlham Heights church next Sunday into one big service at two o'clock in the afternoon. Special exercises will be conducted and a large attendance will be present. Rev. Davis, moderator of the Whitewater Presbytery will speak at the service.

LONG QUITS I. S. L. Fred Long of Indianapolis, who was selected as one of the corps of umpires for the Indiana State league, has jumped to the Ohio State league, according to the announcement of President Carr of the Ohio association. Long worked at the Rushville game last Sunday and gave perfect satisfaction. It is with regret that the fans see him join the Ohio league.

STARS WIN GAME

BODY CONSIDERS

until there was a full representation of the executive committee and for this reason a postponement of proceedings was taken until the evening of Thursday. May 13. Mayor Robbins and various members of his committee of citizens feel very certain that nic-hmond by celebrating its one hundredth birthday anniversary next summer or fall, will have opportunity of exploiting itself in a manner that it never has had in previous affairs of a similar nature. Vhile there has not been even a tentative program mapped out and will not be until the committee is organized, it. has been suggested that from three to five days be given over to the celebration, with special feature programs for each day. The idea of a big industrial exhibit, patterned somewhat after the "made in Richmond'' display at the Fall Festival, has been suggested by several and there is no doubt that what the city has achieved in an industrial way will be shown in an attractive manner. It will likely be suggested that there be a total absence of the "carnival'o' features in this celebration, and most members of the committee who have expressed themselves at all. favor this elimination of the "side show" attractions, and devoting the efforts to displays of various lines, which will point out Richmond's development and growth along every line of endeavor. Proposes Pageant. One of the most interesting features of the affair, as suggested, will be an historical pageant, in which the school children of the city will have a leading part. This was proposed some time ago by those who were interesting themselves in the centennial observance, and should the executive committee decide to undertake it, this feature of necessity would have to be turned over in its entirety to a special committee that could arrange and carry out details. Glen Miller park in that part known as " Roosevelt field" has many natural advantages that would make it ideal for the staging of a pageant such as has been suggested. There are scores of other ideas proposed for the carrying out of a program of from three to five days in celebration of the city's one hundredth birthday, and if the executive committee gets down to business this summer, it is certain that before fall i the preliminary work will be under way. i
