Purdue to Base War Garden Market Plans on Local Market
W. E. Lommel, Purdue garden expert, who visited Richmond Thursday morning to investigate the children's market here approves absolutely of the entire plan upon which the school garden markets have been conducted, according to E. F. Murphy, with whom the expert consulted. Because of the great over production of home garden produce, through the war gardens in all cities, Purdue has recognized the need and practical value of these children's markets. It is preparing to employ a market expert at the university to arrange for introducing these school markets all over the 6tate. By this means vast quantities of food stuffs will be conserved, states Garden Supervisor Murphy, which otherwise would be wasted. The Richmond market will be used as a basis, since this city has the distinction of being the first in the state to have forseen the conditions of over production which has arisen, and so was prepared. The only other city in the United States having a school garden market is Lincoln, Nebraska. Since the state expert approves and FAMOUS HUMORIST WILL SPEAK HERE Irvin S. Cobb was visiting his native town of Paducah, Ky., when he was approached by a stranger who, not knowing to whom he was speak ing, asked what kind of a person this Irvin S. Cobb was, to which Mr. Cobb replied as follows: "Well, to be perfectly frank with you. Cobb is related to my wife by marriage, and if you don't object to a brief sketch with all the technicalities eliminated, I should say that in appearance lie is rather bulky, standing six feet high, not very beautiful, a light roan in color with a black mane. His figure is undecided, but might be called bunchy in places. He belongs to several clubs, including the Yonkers Pressing club, the Park Hill Democratic club, and has alway$, like his father who was a Confederate soldier, voted the democratic ticket. He has one wife and one child, and still has them. In religion he is an innocent bystander. Mr. Cobb is a national institution. New York tried to localize him, but couldn't He is as big as all out doors and in all he writes and says and does reflects the true American spirit. He has long been famous as a humorist, an after dinner speaker, and magazine writer. His articles written for the Saturday Evening Post in the early days of the war, detailing hiB experiences in Belgium, marked a new era in reporting, and established him as one of the keenest observers in the world. He again sailed to Europe in January, 1918, to visit the fighting front and report conditions for the Post. He returned to America late in June and consented to deliver a few lectures to the larger Chautauqua assemblies under the title of "My Recent Experiences on the Fighting Fronts in France and Flanders." Incidentally, Mr. Cobb will receive for this address the largest Individual fee ever paid in the history of the Richmond Chautauqua. He will appear Thursday evening, August 22.

WAR BOARD ASKS NIGHT CLOSING A meeting of the automobile dealers, accessory, and garage men in Wayne and surrounding counties was called at the Commercial club rooms last night for the purpose of extending further the action of closing places of business operated by themselves in compliance with the demands of the War Economics Board at Washington. This movement is national and has been placed in the hands of the National Automobile Dealers association that they may effect the closing without making it necessary for the gov ernment to make a positive ruling to enforce it. The idea of closing their places of business at 6 o'clock each evening and on Sundays and holidays did not meet with the approval of the men generally as they felt that this would work a hardship upon their customers. When it was explained to them, however, that it was a patriotic duty, in as much as it had been requested by! the War Economics Board and was expected to be complied with by every one in this line of business, the vote in favor of it was unanimous with one exception. Richmond men desired to be among the first to show the government that they were ready and willing to do their part.

WORK ON CARPENTER DAM TO BE STARTED At the Board of Works meeting Thursday morning it was decided that the city attorney should draw up an article of agreement between C. D. Carpenter and the city so that the city may get to work at repairing the Carpenter dam before the deed is drawn up.

Girls will bring brown bread, ginger bread, oatmeal bread, cakes, cookies, potato salad, pies, baked beans, cottage cheese, bread and Jelly rolls. Inquiries have been made both for peas and cottage cheese, and since both have been in great demand all children are urged to bring as much of both as possible.
