"The dirty pups attempted to argue with me " over : technical ' matters in which I have authorities to prove that my statements were correct If they ever return to my office and Inspect my books I shall have witnesses to overhear my conversation with them. "I was in the drug business and in the internal revenue service befor I took up the practice of medicine, but I never acted as they did in my office the other day." Narcotics-are Needed. Dr. Wampier declared that he first saw the Inspectors when they were in a dims store and overheard their conversation with a druggist. The inspectors at that time, Dr. Wampier said, told the druggist to perfect a city organization. "I believe in a decent relationship existing between the druggists and physicians,' said Dr. Wampier, "and believe the law . Is correct when it Beeks to decrease the supply of nar cotics in the office of a doctor, and Instead have him prescribe and the prescription filled by the druggist." "The physician must keep a supply of narcotics on hand, and he must per sonally attend those patients whose illnesB requires that course." ' AMBULANCE PARTY RETURNS. PARIS, Dec. 16.

PURDUE EXPERT MAY INSTRUCT FARMERS' CLUB The movement to Interest at least a dozen farmers in each of three townships In the county in attending a class. at least two days In the week conducted by an expert agriculturalist from Purdue university will be promoted next year," said County Superintendent Williams. ' " According to arrangements' which can be made with Purdue university and the state board of education through the vocational department, an expert will be sent to Wayne county to conduct a class at a salary of $1,200. Of this amount the state will pay $800 if the remaining $400 is paid by the townships. At least twelve young men in each township between the ages of 14 and 25 years must consent to join the class for tbe entire year, before the state agree to furnish the money. An effort was made early this year to push the plan in this county but it met failure. The expert would not take the place of a county agent, a.s he would devote all of his time to the classes. The course of study has been arranged by the state board and Purdue university. Superintendent Williams is in favor of the plan and will solicit the township trustees at ah early meelJng next year to consider the proposition. ADAPTS SCHOOLING 10 COUNTY'S NEED - In teaching agriculture in some of the county schools as outlined by the state vocational law, County Superi? tendent Williams is considering dividing the county into three units, each unit representing certain branches of agriculture which are developed in this special locality. In the northwestern part of the county, corn raising and breeding and raising of hogs will be emphasized; In the southwestern part Mr. Williams has found corning raising and cattle feeding to 'be the outstanding vocations, while in the district around Richmond tiie farmers as a whole specialize in dairy products. Because of the fact that there is little variance in the kind of grain raised in the various sections, very little specialized work wMl be done in this branch of study, he said. INHUMAN TREATMENT CHARGED BY WOMAN Ida Ross, 411 North Twentieth street, filed a divorce complaint against John Ross this morning, alleging cruel and Inhuman treatment.

"Druggists in cities no larger than Richmond have there respective, clubs or societies or asociation anl in ttase places where they do exist, they are of inestimable value. I'd certainly sugges that the druggists here form an rgsnizatlon. They would find it of real advantage, commercially and socially."
