NEW HIGH SCHOOL HEAD COMING SOON

J. H. Bentley, new head of the Richmond high school, will come to Richmond sometime this week, said Superintendent J. T. Giles Monday morning. Bentley was elected to the prlncipalship of the high school by the school board Saturday evening. He has been superintendent of schools at Paducah, Kentucky, since 1914. The new high school head is a graduate of Wesleyan University and holds the degree of A.M. from ColumbiaHe is now in Urbana, Illinois, taking work for his Ph-D. degree at the University of Illinois. He taught in high schools in Missouri and Kentucky for eleven years before taking the superintend ency at Paducah. Bentley is thirty-six years old, and is married.

Mrs. Harry Malsberry, of Butte, Mon., who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Harry Doan, has gone to Boston for a short visit before returning to her home. Miss Esther Hughes and Miss Lois Benson, of Newport Ky., are the guests of Miss Irene Reed and Miss Ruth Haler.

Time for signing of food and war service cards by Wayne county women has been extended to September 1. An active campaign will be kept up by the workers in Richmond and the county to sign the few women already canvassed who have not registered. Cards will be at Ross' drug store and at the W. C. T. U. tent on the chautauaua srrounds.

Charles W. Jordan, president of the

unautauqua association, made a short talk on the campaign Sunday, to correct the false impression that signing of the cards meant compulsory service. Aged Women Will Help. Although the workers have met with discouragements, they have reported a courteous reception in most cases. Women of eighty and ninety have signed to knit, if they are needed. One society girl said: "There's nothing I can do here but scrub, but I'll do that if they need me." The cards will be filed in the Wayne county court house at the end of the campaign, and should any emergency arise when the women are needed, they will be asked to give 6uch service as they have time for. Indiana is one of the very few states when the movement has been a voluntary one, as it has been made compulsory to sign the cards in New York and many other states. "When our soldier boys are going over to fight, we shouldn't object to giving them a pound of wheat a week, or to be rendering such small service as we can at home," says Miss Mary E. B. Culbertson.

Identification Tag of Germantown Man With Sherman Found

An Identification tag of one of General Sherman's men, bearing the name of D. Beaver, of Germantown, Ind., has been found by Dr. P. C. Jurney of Turnersburg, N. C, he writes the Palladium. The tag probably was lost in the spring of 1865 when General Sherman and bis men passed through North Carolina. It is a circular piece of metal, and on one side is written: "D. Beaver, Co. 1, 91st Ind. .Vol.' Inf., Germantown, Ind." On the other side of the tag is: "War of 1861. enlisted Dec. 6, '64, Indianapolis. Born Oct. 19, 1849. Engaged in the above battery."

FALSE IDEA ABOUT WORKING RESERVE

Parents of Indiana have gotten the idea that enrollment for the boys' working reserve Is a subterfuge to get their sons into military service, and the movement will fail unless county heads can correct this impression, says a bulletin received Monday at the Y. M. C. A., from Isaac D. Straus, state head. County and township heads are asked to make a personal call upon at least six parents of their district and explain the movement Straus lays stress upon the facts that the reserve movement is for work upon farms and in industries as near home as possible, and that it will not Interfere with education or present occupation of the boys. Discharge will be granted Immediately upon application by the parent, and the boys will be sorely needed to take the place of the men withdrawn for military service. Only 100 Wayne county boys have so far enrolled. The county's quota Is 800.
