"DAY AT HOME"

ADVOCATED BY

PMC CIRCULARS 1 Boy At Home Is lire issue In Sadmuma m elsewLere, says W. C Seeker, cashier of the Second National Sank, In a letter addressed to patrons of the bask. Re says that prosperity Us back In Richmond again, and a closer obserrance of the "buy-at-home" Me will greatly Increase this pros ferity. In part, his letter reads: "One of the best evidences that the Vare of business depression is receding; Is the almost general Inclination of business experts, east, west, north and south, to view the Immediate future with optimism. And they back up this feeling with statistics from the great centers of Industry which show rapidly changing conditions for the better. ' City Escapes Depression. "Right here In Richmond there has "been comparative freedom from the condition of affairs that prevailed in some cities and towns. The general soundness of Richmond's business institution does not permit a period ol depression -to bring demoralization. Richmond will receive its share oTthe returning prosperity, and it might be said that one of the chief helps along prosperity lines Is the development of the spirit of co-operation. , "Richmond has prospered in the past because of the co-operative sprit, but here, as elsewhere, there can be further development. Of course, every cent of money earned in Richmond can not be made to stay at home. But the. great bulk of it can, and the more that remains the greater oury general prosperity. . " "Shop at Home' may be a time-worn tfogan, but it still is a live Issue. Shopwing and buying In Richmond whenever possible means not only greater convenience for the buyer, but it means i that the merchants will be enabled to carry even larger and finer stocks ; I means a higher quality of service, and in a nutshell means that business pros-

i penty W1H incre. -vwj -jiperlty every citizen of Richmond will I share directly or indirectly."

STOCK MARKET MAKES SERUM AT LOCAL SHOP

In making the annual report of the Glen Miller stock yards, Jerome Shurley claims the distinction xf being the Armour of . Wayne county, it not of the state, as far as the number of hogs shipped. It has always been the ambition of Mr.Shurley to ship-20,000 in a year, and also to demonstrate that Richmond needs a market for her surplus swine. When the yards were opened seven years ago some of the older heads predicted it would never do as there were not enough hogs to supply the. needs of Richmond and support a stock yard. During the seven years, the yards . have been open there have been shipped over 1,500,000 hogs, oyer 7,000 cattle, 15,000 veal calves and 6,500 sheep at an aggregate cost of $2,500,000. - To transport the stock It required from 200 to 250 cars per year. Figuring 100 cars to the mile it would make a solid train 17 miles long. While this would be called a drop in the bucket realizing the amount of live stock consumed daily, the record of the Glen Miller yards has never before been equaled by any country shipper In the state. In order to do a larger business Shurley & Gaar intend to enlarge their plant and engage in the manufacture of hog cholera serum. Realising that the only way the farmer can raise hogs is to vaccinate when the pigs are young, and also the danger of using serum manufactured in states infected with the hoof and mouth disease, they from Wayne county hogs for Wayne county farmers. They will also engage In the stock hog trade, collecting in lots to suit the feeders and give them the double treatment before they are sent out to feed. By this method the firm expects to increase its business 50 per cent in 1916.

SUES TO RECOVER $100 LOST Oil DET OVER HILL CLIMB On - a complaint to recover money lost and paid on a bet, Frank Taube has filed suit In circuit court against Morris Jones alleging that through a mistake of ' the person holding the "stakes" Jones was paid $100 belonging to Taube, although Jones had never won the waeer. " Taube alleges further that on September 22, Jones offered to wager $100 that Taube could not climb Niewoehner's hill with his auto in high' speed. Taube accepted the bet, and each wrote a check to the other placing them In the hands of a third person. The attempt was made by Taube, but there was no time set on which the attempt was to be made. On account of a bent axle, the ; car. Taube was driving at the time failed to make the hill. The next day, however, another attempt was made and It was successful. In the meantime the stake holder had to leave the city and placed the money in Jones' possession. Taube alleges that he did not lose the bet. According to the state law, complaint can be brought against the winner of a bet even though he won the wager honestly, and it is under this law the complaint was drawn. According to Attorney Hoelscher, who has filed the complaint, it only has to be substantiated in court that the money was received on a wager, and that the question of who won or lost does not enter into the case.
