T. P. A. Notes

RESIDENT BARTEL has . . a a il. . P- II reiurnea irom iae now II York markets- where he il went some two weeks ago,, in ine imej-esia ui the Adam H. Bartel company, and will be with us tomorrow at our third memorial service at the First English Lutheran church.' When Mr: Bartel left for the East he fully expected that his business would keep him there beyond this time, and that he' has been able to return and Join In this service will be most welcome Information to Post C membership. ; The memorial committee mailed out notices the first of this week to our entire membership announcing that the third' memorial Post C. Indiana Division T. P. A. for departed members, would be held Sunday, Jan. 26. 1919, 2:30 p. m. in the First English Lutheran church. These services, as has been stated before, were inaugur-, ated by Post C of its own volition and , Is not provided for In either the Na- j tional or State Constitution- and bylaws. So successful was the first memorial, that, upon the recommendation of the committee, these services were unanimously made a part of Post C constitution and by-laws, which now provide that they be held some Sunday during the month of January, each year. This meeting is for members of Post C and their families and families of deceased members. The committee has arranged a program appropriate to the service and all who take part therein are most willingly contributing to its sucess. It is to be hoped that all members of the Post will contribute, by their attendance, toward making this service a complete success. A. Howard Rice of the American Seedlng-Machlne company has returned from a three weeks' trip to the International Harvester company of America Dealers' Conventions at Minneapolis and Kansas City. Mr. Rice reports the outlook for spring trade in the graf a drill business very bright, and the expressed -feeling among dealers, along this line, being most bright. It is his opinion that the fall trade will be a "hummer." ' Eugene Kramer Quigg, son of our deceased fellow member William . H. Quigg, is now one of us, and our entire membership welcome him into Post C. Mr. Quigg was In France during the war as a member of the Quaker Reconstruction Unit, and upon the death of his father hastened to his home. He succeeded his father as secretary and general manager, of the Richmond Baking company. E. K. Shera has again returned to the road in the interests of the coal business after a "lay off" of a period of about two years. This lay off we understand was made necessary by reason of the fact that the government, during the war, was taking the entire output of thymines he represented, and was from the work alone, not the salary. John P. Hlghley has been ho'ised up a few days the past week with a severe cold, but after a strenuous fight it has ben conquered and he is now, we are pleased to announce, mingling with us again. John says nothing can j keep a good man down especially wnen mere is so mucn worn to oe done as is facing himself , and Mr. Lebo in their campaign for T. P. A. members. Now that the war is over and our boys are marching back home ready to take up their former positions in life, we should be in a humor to go after the eligibles for this grand organization, so if Mr. Lebo and Mr. Highley, appointed at the last regular meeting of Post C, to head committees for an energetic, collective campaign for members, will put with their committees their shoulders to the wheel, they can build up our post with a good, strong, clean membership. Get busy boys, you can write applications if you try, and we can assure you that every present member is for a greater membership, and you will have their hearty co-operation. Let's all get into the harness and' pull together toward this end. Let It not be the fault of any one of us, or as a whole, if the membership of Post C is not largely increased by the end of this fiscal year. The memorial Committee extended invitations to National and State officers to be present at our Third Memorial service Sunday 26th at the Frist English Lutheran church. Word has been received from State SecretaryTreasurer, Charles M. Zink, that he will be with us on that day, and from T. A. Logan, National Secretary that he felt sure that he could also attend this service. It is indeed an honor to have these officers with Us at any time and especially so on this occasion of memorial to our dead. They will perhaps not be able to remain in our city longer than the one day and we hope as many of our membership as can will come to the Post rooms and welcome them among us. We would like to most humbly ask our president and board of directors i XL C 1 1 J V1VS UV ItVt Llta.li V, i s to u somewhat indifferent interest taken in the affairs of Post C by a very large part of our members. They are truly loyal as far as keeping up their membership by the payment of dues, but how many of them ever attend our regular monthly meetings, or even step Into -our club rooms from' one year's end to the other? Many of them we know are men of large af fairs and have not the time to devote to the club's interests or social affairs. On the other hand, are there not many of ; our members who would interest themselves in our affairs if greater effort were made to bring to their attention matters that were to be acted upon, and that concerned ill members, and, further, now that the world conflict is over and many of our thirtytwo' boys- have returned from camps and overseas and have been reinstated In our ranks, would It not be a great pleasure and should we not consider It a duty now that we are out from under "Hooverism" to give these men a "Peace" reception to be attended byi every member of Post C, and his wife or lady friend? Wff-feel that our ladies have not been shown the attention along this line during the past year they have deserved, and by us waking up to the recognition of their rights,

)

more spice and interest in the affairs of this grand organisation, a( our local. Post, would," we sincerely believe, be brought about. i , , j Tonight is the regular January meeting of Post C, at the rooms on North Ninth street The secretary, Mr. Hasty, Informs us that many matters are to be brought up. that should receive the consideration of each member of the post, so boys, your duty Is to' be present. Do not shirk. We are also informed that a great treat is in store for all who attend this meeting by being privileged to hear first hand from one of our heroic American boys who has stood in the front lines "over there," about what he did, and saw, in helping to make the world safe for Democracy. "FILLER." WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY This column, containing news of Richmond and, Wayne county soldle and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed. Carl Thompson, who has been stationed at Edgewood Arsenel, haB been mustered out of the service at Camp Tftylor. Paul Overman, of the 23 Engineers with. the A. E. F.,' writes that though he recently had a delightful furlough at Alx-les-Bains, he was glad to get back to his outfit for "when the bunch comes home I certainly want to be here to come along." Overman says that the cold, bare place they are camped in seems colder and barer than ever now that the enthusiasm of fighting is passed. "It's a pretty bare place nothing but cold, mud, water, and barracks. I hope we don't stay here much longer." He explained that he had received a letter from Frank Hale of Richmond, and that he was stationed only 35 or 40 miles from his camp. Elmer Hale is, too, only a short distance away, being at Commercy. "Have a letter from Edgar Looffburrow, and another from Harry McClear. I also saw Skinner, who used to be at Engle and Eaton's Cigar store." Ensign McKinzie Monarch left last evening having spent a short furlough In the city. Corporal F: C. Gift of Battery E 322 field artillery, formerly a resident of this city, has written to his father, J. N. Gift, 9 Monument Ave., Dayton O., of the advance of his company with the army of occupation into Germany. They were, at the time his letter was written, thirty miles into Germany across the Rhine, and were advancing. He graphically related the scenes and events immediately following the signing of the armistice, and the ovation the Americans received in Belgium. Gift explained that his battery had been in almost constant action for several months before the signing of the armistice; that several of his "pals" were wounded and gassed; but that he escaped injury. "The reception the German people are giving us is, under the circumstances, friendly," he says. Private Charles Starr who has been with the spruce division in Oregon, has his honorable discharge and arrived in Richmond this week. Private Myron Menke of Camp Meade, Md., has arrived home following his honorable discharge. Ray Weisbrod has his honorable discharge from the marines. He was stationed at Paris Island.

Brooks, arrived in Richmond today. Sergeant Brooks was mustered out of service at Camp Sherman, O., this week. He saw five months foreign service.

A meeting of the trustees was held after the formal offer was made to the state of Tri-State Normal, Winona college, Valparaiso university, and Central Normal college of Danville. Recommendations of the state normal school visiting committee, of which C. O. Williams of Richmond, Is a member, were to the effect that two more normal schools be established in the state. The action of the board of trustees is in direct conflict with this recommendation.
