FALL FESTIVAL BOOTH SELLERS OUTLINE WORK

' , Within a few hours of the signing of a contract for staging the centennial celebration the week of Oct 16, the exposition booth committee held a meeting and outlined work .which will begin at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Every merchant and manufacturer will be called on in two days and the advantages of display booths will be " explained. One hundred display spaces will be disposed of. The committee is under the leadership of Ira Swisher, who explained to the members that the exposition, the biggest ever planned here, is really an entertainment for residents of the - city's trade radius of 25 miles, in which there are approximately 85,000 inhabitants. The executive committee is composed of Lou lllff, Mr. Swisher and E. E. Eggemeyer. , Details Worked Out. -' "We went carefully into every detail of this . exposition," said Mr. Swisher. ."We did not do so in a day or a week, but we have taken two weeks.. It was our desire to. fully Batisfy ourselves that anything given Richmond in the way of lmpromevent and entertainment, so far as we were concerned, must have every appearance of being worth while. "We are now as a committee prepared to say that we firmly believe ttie exposition as outlined is going to prove to be one of, if not the greatest, public efforts of this character Richmond has ever known. The display of the commodities made in Rich- ; mond and the personal contact of the merchant with the thousands of visitors from all over this county, an in- . cpectlon of his goods and a more intimate acquaintance with the trade radius, that, in my opinion, can be gained only through these channels, and will prove of inestimable value to , the commercial interest of Richmond. I do not believe any manufacturer or merchant can afford not to be represented. That is of course the opinion of thi committee after a thorough investigation of every detail of the exposition directed by our promoter. Offer Unusual Attractions. "The attractive features in the way of decoration, attractions and historical features surely surpass anything Richmond has ever offered and the pne feature that has impressed me most is the cleanliness, and unusual . merit of the several entertainments. , "The very fact everything will be free but the admission which will be ten cents, and the wonderful pageant employing 500 people, makes the show more appealing from an amusement point of view. "It Is the season of the year when we may expect big business. It seems really up to Richmond to entertain her trade radius in a manner befitting her prominent position among the big ( tflwns of the state. . - - . "The price we have agreed upon , has been gone over very carefully and the entire booth committee of twenty have passed upon every consideration. It has been decided that the committee will rebate. 23 per cent of the gross receipts to the exhibitor, cutting his original price down proportionately. Gees Directly to Pageant 'Aside from this, the money made from the sale of booths goes directly to the payment of the big pageant, the bands, the free attractions and the decorations aside from one thousand dollars in subscriptions which will be turned over by the committee and the one thousand dollars in cash which has been deposited by H. 6. Marks. "From my knowledge of the amusement business I do not believe, after a careful Investigation, that- this expocition could be put over for less than twice the amount without the services of H. B. Marks, his manager J. A Darnaby and the assistants they will bring to. this city. These men know their business and in this business especially their services are going to be worth a great deal. "We want to interest the entire community in this exposition and with that thought in view we have tried to complete a program full of interest and attractive to the masses without offending one single visitor or inFolding Carts $6.50, $8.00 $10, $12, $14 and up.

HANLY ASKS WOMEN FOR THEIR SUPPORT

WHITEFISH, Mont., Sept 13. Campaigning through states where women have the ballot J. Frank Hanly and Dr. Ira J. Landrith, national candidates of the Prohibitionists,' are making a strong bid .for the suffrage vote in the coming national election. The candidates "are pointing with f ride" to their party's record of 44 years' adherence to the principle of equal suffrage and of placing stress on what they term the vacillating policies of the two old parties. SCHOOL DINER OFFERS MEALS AT OLD PRICES Service a la carte with no H. C. L. (high cost of living), trimmings was a popular institution in the dining room of Richmond high school this noon, when the high school culinary experts served their first meal to a contingent of hungry students and instructors. A substantial meal for fifteen cents may sound like fiction in this day of high cost of living, but those who partook of the first efforts of the high school cooking force were willing to substantiate the assertion. The feature of the opening something that was conspicuous by its ab sence, was the expected raise in prices did not materialize. Miss Kelsey, instructor in charge of the department, announced that prices would remain the same as last year, despite the general advance in price . of staple foodstuffs. Foods Cost More. "We are paying approximately fifteen per cent or more for our materials," but nevertheless will attempt to furnish our patrons food at the same prices," said Miss Kelsey. Following was the menu for today: Beef loaf, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, macaroni, salad, peach cobbler, sliced oranges, ice cream, bread and butter. With the exception of ice cream and bread and butter, which are listed at four and two cents, respectively, the standard price for each article is three cents. MRS. QUICKIE DIES HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Sept. 13. Mrs. Charity Quickie died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Nucum Monday evening at six o'clock.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been made. SMITH FILES SUIT. Charles W. Smith filed suit in the circuit court today for the foreclosure of a mortgage on an automobile belonging " to Wilbur and Pearl Davis. The complaint demands damages to the amount of $116.17. ASKS ESTATE'S SALE. Anna B. Hunt, executrix, filed a partition suit in the circuit court today against Joseph and Anna Hunt. The plaintiff ' asks for the sale of real estate to pay a legacy. cinvenlencing one citizen of Richmond. Personally, and I am sharing the opinion of twenty prominent men on this committee, nothing is now of so vital importance to Richmond aside from the $100,000 factory fund as this Industrial exposition."

EXPECT FUND TO BRING 10,000 PEOPLE TO CITY

Over forty men enthusiastically applauded the plans for the $100,000 industrial fund campaign at a luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. today under the auspices of the campaign committee of the Commercial club. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the plans of the movement. It is the. first of, a series of luncheons for the purpose of acquainting various groups of business men with the campaign. . No subscriptions will be asked during the preparatory part of the movement. Chairman John M. Lontz in outlining the progress of the campaign called attention to the many offers of support that are being received from both large and small interests. He also called attention to the "Hundred Thousand Dollar" dinner, stating that approximately fifty accptances had already been received, an unprecedented number so far In advance of the function. . . . Anderson Moore to Speak. ' Anderson Moore, an industrial authority, with the Middle West Utilities company of Chicago, has sent in his acceptance to make an address at the dinner, and with one more out of town man, the list of foreign speakers will be complete. Mr. Moore was invited because of his technical knowledge of Industrial work by community effort . The plan of campaign as approved by the campaign committee was outlined by D. H. McFarland, who is assisting the Commercial club In the campaign. "The hundred thousand dollar fund will be invested in such a conservative way," said Mr. McFarland. "that no one should withhold support from it. Subscriptions will not have to be paid until the Industrial company has reached an agreement for a new factory. Not more than 25 per cent of the subscription can be called for in any one year, so when payments are called for every subscriber will know that it means a new industry for Richmond. The chances are that payments in smaller amounts will be asked because only a few thousand, dollars will be required to secure some factories. Means 10,000 Citizens. . "Not less than twenty factories ought to be secured from the use of this fund, and the coming of that many factories means an increase of fully 10,000 population in five years. Such an increase will be of big. benefit to every man and woman with an investment in- Richmond. It will mean an increased payroll of over a million dolTWO HAMILTON CASES DROPPED FROM COURT Two cases of Fannie Hamilton vs. Linnie P. Myers which were pending in the circuit court were dismissed today upon the plaintiff's petition. Myers" was in arrears in his rent for a farm which belonged to the plaintiff. She filed salt a few dayS after the rent was due, amounting to $175, for damages and possession of the realestate. At the same time she filed suit for the foreclosure of a lien on the defendant's crops. SCHOOL REALIZES ATTENDANCE GOAL NEW PARIS, O., Sept. 13.

The Cleveland organization has the reputation of being one of the most efficient in the world, and It Is said that the beginning of Cleveland's great advance dates from the time its business men; formed a modern type of organization. The prospectus of the Cleveland Industrial Development company says: . " 'Practically every manufacturer or prospective manufacturer with whom we have any opportunity of dealing presents a financial problem, but the chamber of commerce itself cannot offer financial assistance.' "The same problem exists In tho Commercial club of- Richmond. It cannot do business with manufacturers because of a lack of funds. With a development company with a large fund, the Commercial club can talk business with any manufacturer and can fulfill its part of the agreement quickly." BOND REQUESTS PEOPLE TO HELP TEACH RECRUIT The TJnitec States army will secure a very desirable recruit if some Richmond school teacher or college professor volunteers to give a young man, twenty years of age, instructions in the third primer, reader and complete his Instructions in writing. Sergeant Bond, in charge of the Richmond recruiting station, has been the young man's tutor for a month but the teaching of this prospective recruit now conflicts with the sergeant's other duties and he is appealing to the educators of this city to relieve him of his pupil and conduct him through the mysteries of the third primer reader. Once he masters the third primer he will be .accepted as a soldier. Resides Here 5 Years. The name of the young man who is seeking a rudimentary education for the purpose of serving his country's colors is withheld to spare him of any embarrassment. He has lived in Richmond for five years. He is a native of Kentucky and never attended school. The prospective recruit desires to join the army to educate himself and learn a trade. He is a perfect specimen of physical manhood, of good habits and is ambitious. When he applied for enlistment he was greatly downcast when informea that he could not be accepted for the army until he knew how to write and read the third primer, but he was not discouraged. He said he would learn to read and write without further delay and Bond volunteered to act as the young man's tutor. Your army recruiting sergeant is . nothing if not versatile. More Training Needed. Each day for the past month the boy who wanted to join the army to educate himself, in a garrison school, and to learn a trade, has called at the recruiting station, and each day Sergeant Bond has aided him in mastering his lessons. "The boy can write fairly well now, and he can recite the stories in the first and second readers backwards," the sergeant remarked with great pride today. "Now If some school teacher or college professor will take hold of this kid and put him through the third reader it will be a big favor to me and an even bigger favor to the boy. The government is willing to educate him and teach him a good trade, but he has got to prove to Uncle Sam that he can read the third primer and write before Uncle Sam agrees to take charge of him."

LOAN COMPANY : BUILDS MODERN BANKING HOUSE

The sixth new banking quarters to be opened in Richmond within a few years, those of the Richmond Loan and Savings association, will be occupied Tuesday. The association will begin moving from its . temporary quarters in the K. of P. Temple to its new quarters at 21 North Ninth street, Saturday. The remodeled rooms are beautifully decorated in a Greco-American effect. Simplicity has been carried out in the scheme for walls, ceilings and floors. The walls are decorated in amber Tiffany with a frieze of arches. A simple Grecian design breaks the plain surface of the light buff ceiling, waxed to reflect the light from inverted brass bowls. The tile floor is decorated with apple blossom square figures. Use Tennessee Marble. The marble is of the most unusual used in construction work in Richmond. It "was shipped here from Tennessee and bears the faint pink grain of Tennessee marble, on a background of gray. Marble is used around the walls and for the window seats and check desk. The counter is entirely of marble and the grill work is surmounted by marble. - The foyer and banking space are of equal size. The big vault is built in, with 12-inch reinforced concrete walls lined with steel. Double doors in front each have two combinations and one has a time Jock. Inside are filing cases and money compartments. For the first time here, the association has installed safety deposit boxes. The installation is an experiment but members of the association say the present demand indicates that it will be successful. HOLD PARTY CONFERENCE PtERLIN. Sent. 13.

AFTER SIX YEARS OF SUFFERING Woman Made Well by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Columbus, Ohio. "I had almost given up. I had been sick for six years with female troubles and nervousness. I had a pain in my right side and could not eat anything without hurting my stomach. I could not drink cold water at all nor eat any kind of raw fruit, 1 nor fresh meat nor i chicken. From 173 , pounds I went to : 118 and would get so weak at times that I fell over. I began to take Lydia E. j Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and ten days later I could eat and it did not hurt my stomach. I have taken the : medicine ever since and I feel like a new woman. I now weigh 127 pounds so you can see what it has done for me already. My husband says he knows i your, medicine has saved my life." Mrs. J. S. Barlow, 1624 South 4th St, i Columbus, Ohio. , Lydia E.
