KENT CHARGE FOR THRESHING TO BE ENFORCED
State Defense Council Refuses Right to Charge 8 Cents a Bushel. Threshermen who operate in Wayne county will not be permitted to charge eight cents per bushel for threshing wheat this year, according to a letter received by Harry Gilbert, ' Wayne county food administrator, from M. E. Foley, chairman of the state council of defense. A committee was appointed by the state council to investigate threshing conditions, and the committee reported that any price above seven cents per bushel for threshing wheat should not be permitted. At a meeting of Wayne county threshermen last -Saturday those owning outfits objected to a seven cent price for wheat, and were at first desirous of charging ten cents. An agreement was finally reached and Mr. Gilbert said he would permit a seven cent price if the state council would raise no objections. The threshermen drew up a resolution to be presented to the state council setting forth conditions here and asking that they be permitted to charge eight cents per bushel for threshing wheat and five cents for oats. "This report of the threshing committee is not fair," Mr. Foley wrote in his letter to the county food administrator, "They want a ten per cent, depreciation and six per cent interest on $4,00u, which is supposedly the value of their outfits, and I'll venture to assert that not half a dozen of the machines in your county are worth $2,600 unless they are new. The assessor's books will show that mot of them are aseed at les than $1,000." At the suggestion of shairman of ihe state council Mr. Gilbert will set a price of seven cents per bushel for threshing wheat; four cents per bushel for oats; and ten cents per bushel tor rye. ' , Threshermen will .also be expected to make some arrangement so that the grain leaking from the machines will not be lost, while the farmers will be quired to fix their wagons so that the grain will not leak through the crocks.
Fourth of July Parade Here Will be Over Two Miles in Length
LIGHT PLANT GIVEN FUEL PREFERENCE
James Dillon, superintendent of the Light plant received a letter Friday from federal fuel administrator Evans Woollen Instructing him that tho Richmond Light plant had been placed in a preferred class for distribution of coal. Woollen went on to state, however, that this in no sense means that the administration will guaranteo to deliver coal in event of a shortage next winter. Should a shortage of coal exist as now seems- probable, the state administration will not discriminately help the light plant, just because it happens to be a public utility, he said. No assistance will be rendered public utilities unless reasonable precautions have been taken to avoid a shortage. Superintendent Dillon announces that he now has 4,000 tons of coal on hands and expects to start the winter with at least 5.000 to 10,000 tons of real. Owing to the improper facilities for storing coal at the plant no more coal can be received until fall as ' to pile it higher in the hot weather may result in loss for the city as the coal fires easily.
Richmond's Fourth of July parade probably will be more than two miles In length, and will consist of eight separate sections, according to Lawrence A. Handley, chairman of the parade committee. The first part of the parade will reach Glen Miller park about the time the central section is leaving the court house, while the central section will probably reach the park before the tail end of the line has started. The exact formation of the various sections has not been announced as yet but it is certain the first section will consist of American citizens of German extraction. At their head will march the living presentation of the "Spirit of '76," and the flags of all the allied nations with the American flag much in prominence. In this section will also march the members and Sunday-school children of St. John's, St. Andrew's and St. Paul's churches, with affiliated organizations or clubs. There will be several appropriate floats. The section will be under the auspices of the South Side Improvement association. Military Section. The second sections will probably be the military section. Here will march the various militia companies in uniform. Arriving at Glen Miller park the militia will have charge of the policing and will also arrange for parking of automobiles. Other sections will be the Red Cross with all . tributary organizations; county township section, which will be one of the largest sections of the parade; industrial section, which will include floats built by manufacturing companies, and many employes of Richmond factories; fraternal section; war mothers and war fathers; and the American citizens of foreign birth or extraction.
