18 MEN MOVED TO CLASS ONE

Eighteen men have been moved into Class 1 by the Richmond selective

service board, since the re-examina

tion of questionaires began Monday. The chairman of the board said, however that the names of these men would not be made public until he received definite information from the

state conscription agent regarding

their status. Several men have been called before the board and examined again, and some of these may also be moved up in the classification. The 18 men already changed were in Classes 2 and 4. Through this re-classification of registrants the board expects to go above the national average in the number of men in Class 1.

SECOND SCHOOL MARKET PLANNED

The second school garden market will be held at the market house Friday afternoon from four to six o'clock. Pupils are urged to bring beets, string beans and turnips in great quantities as there is a demand for these particular vegetables. Gardener Murphy asks that each pupil bring only three or four pounds of lettuce, about one dozen bunches of radishes and two dozen bunches of onions. At the last market there was not such a great demand for these articles. Girls are urged to bring three times as much baked goods as they did last week. All kinds of bread and other home cooked articles were very much in demand and the supply was exhausted in a short time. Murphy suggests that pupils visit grocery stores in town to see their exhibits of vegetables, noticing the arrangement of them, and the cleanliness with which they are exhibited. All children who won prizes last week are asked to meet at th Commercial club Friday afternoon promptly at 3 o'clock to receive their prizes.

ONE CONTRACTOR TO

MAKE

Charles Kirkpatrick who was awarded the contract for the improovement of South Eighth street at the last Board of Works meeting appeared before the board Thursday and asked that he be released and that the contract be turned over to McNamara and company of Indianapolis, who was awarded the county contract. Kirkpatrick stated that two contractors could not work on one job. The board accepted the suggestion and McNamara agreed to take over both contracts. The board then referred the matter to the city attorney to draw a legal contract releasing the city and Kirkpatrick. McNamara agreed to do the work

ians. Judge Butler said that he did not consider the mother of the child the proper person to have its care. For that reason he placed the boy un: der the control of Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation officer for the board of guardians.

96 PER CENT OF PUPILS OWNERS OF WAR STAMPS

the Richmond school own thrift stamps. Six school are 100 per cent, perfect, that is, every child owns thrift stamps. They are High school, Garleld, Finley, Vaile, Baxter and Joseph Moore.

the pupils own War stamps. The total purchased by Richmond schools is $23,451. The percapita record in the Richmond schools is $7.00. These figures were presented at the War Stamps conference Thursday by Superintendent Giles. -

EXPECT FAVORABLE REPORT ON BILL

By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 20. Refusal of President Wilson to oppose actively for the present at least, the Jones amendment to the $11,000,000 emergency agricultural appropriation bill, providing for a "bone dry" nation for the period of the war, caused senate leaders today to predict that the amendment would be favorably reported by the senate agricultural commission, which hoped to complete the hearings on the amendment and reach a vote late today. Few senators would express an opinion as to the probability of the amendment being passed by the senate, for the reason that President Wilson is understood to have told Senator Smith, of South Carolina, acting chairman of the agriculture commit, tee yesterday, his declination to opwhether discussion of it holds up important legislation. Members of the senate continued to discuss today, the testimony offered before the committee yesterday by Bainbridge Colby, representing Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping Board that to take beer away from the shipyard employes would reduce their efficiency and result in a reduction of ship tonnage of 25 per cent.

AMERICANS DRIVE

HUNS BACK AT MARNE

(By Associated Press) WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES

advance of five-eights of a mile driv

ing the Germans .back from a small pocket on the northern side of Belleau

wood. The Americans' occupied the German position without resistance from the enemy, the Germans having with

drawn when the short and sharp ar

tillery bombardment indicated that an

infantry attack would follow.

The Germans carried their material with them in their retreat and the Americans therefore did not take any machine guns. As a matter of course also, no prisoners were taken. One small salient is all that the enemy continues to hold in Belleau wood.

RECRUITING OFFICE OPEN EVERY NIGHT

In order to give the boys who work a chance to enlist in the army. Sergeant Wright, army Recruiting officer, announced Thursday that he would be onpn pvprv evenir.e between the hours

required by the city at the bid niadeiD( 7 an(j g

by Kirkpatrick and was awarded the

contract. Superintendent Dillon, pf the light plant, asked the board to allow him to discontinue the use of the 500 volt direct current system still in use at a few places in Richmond. He stated that the machinery which makes the direct current was warn out and that new machinery would be expensive. On these grounds the noard instructed him to discontinued its use. Daniel G. Burkhardt was awarded the contract for the construction of cement curbs, gutters and sidewalks on South Third street from Main to A street.

CAMOUFLAGED CANNON PASSES THROUGH CITY

A cannon covered with camouflage paint, which passed through Richmond Wednesday evening was the cause of much speculation. Little information could be obtained to from the officers in charge of the cannon. The fact that it had been in service before was evidenced by the shellmarks it bore. It was a 3,700 pound gun made in 1898. The officers in charge of the gun intimated that it was being moved

east for use in the thrift stamp cam

paign.

A majority of the women munition workers in Great Britain are organized.

FEW MEN LEFT IN CLASS ONE

The Richmond selective service board received a letter from Major Robert Baltzell, state conscription agent, Thursday morning, notifying the board that men may be inducted under special calls for skilled labor from deferred classes. "I fully realize the fact that all local boards in Indiana have practically exhausted Class 1 men of the necessary qualifications under these special calls," Major Baltzell wrote. "I would therefore suggest that you give the matter of calling for volunteers wide publicity, and if you are unable to secure men in this way take them from deferred classes." Three men are to be selected by the Richmond board for training at the army automobile school here to open Monday, July 1. Five men for similar training are to be sent from here the same date to Valparaiso university. These men must be grammar school graduates and must either have had some mechanical experience or show aptitude for mechanical work. If enough men volunteer for induction under this call it will not be necessary for the board to take men from deferred classes. The chairman of the board said, however, that if eight men have not volunteered when the time comes to notify the men of the call, the board will have to select men qualified for .the training from deferred classes in order to fill the quota. It is not thought that there are eight men in Class 1 who can qualify with mechanical experience. Only white men may volunteer for these courses, which will continue for two months. Men thus trained will then be assigned to various branches of the service where they are best fitted.

THOMAS STEVENS ENLISTS FOR NAVAL AVIATION

MUNCIE SEEKS PLACE AS DISTRICT CENTER

MUNCIE, Ind., June 20. Muncie manufacturers, meeting in the Commercial club hall here Tuesday afternoon, discussed the matter of whether it would be reasible to make Muncie a sub-regional center of manufacturing for war work, instead of haviug the community placed by the government under the jurisdiction of the Indianapolis or Richmond sub-districts. It is probable that arrangements will be completed to make Muncie a separate subregionall district.

Help put Indiana across June 28. Join the War Savers army.
