0. ICS HOSPITAL F0RJK10RIAL Committee Addresses Palladium Endorsing Proposal for Contagious Ward. Editor, The Palladium:
"We took a great deal of pleasure In
reading the letter written to The Palladium by Mr. John I Rupe, proposing
a contagious disease hospital as a
memorial to our soldiers.
"We offer for publication a letter prepared by the committee, appointed by the Tlcknor club four weeks ago,
with the Intention of sending a copy
to the different clubs. Having been delayed in our purpose, we are now offering the letter as an endorsement of Mr. Rupe's proposition, and hope all clubs that are in sympathy with such a movement, will communicate with Mr. Rupe or the Tlcknor committee
In order that a working organization
may be formed. 'The letter follows: "To the Clubs of Wayne Co
" 'Much has been said throughout
the country concerning suitable memorials to be erected in memory of our
soldiers, whose young lives were so
bravely given in the cause of humanity. "'Many suggestions have been of
fered through the press and by individuals. The Tlcknor club of Richmond has given consideration to the Fubject, and would like to offer the following suggestion for the consid
eration of the other clubs, hoping
through them to create an active interest in every individual in Wayne county. " 'We believe our soldiers should be
honored by a fitting memorial. We believe a fitting memorial is something that will be of benefit to humanity, Hnd thus continue their work in the
treat cause. In this county a conta-
cious disease hospital is greatly need
cd, as the past winter has proved to .11. We believe such a hospital would be a fitting memorial, which would
consecrate the memory of the soldiers, while humanity continues to be administered to In this community.
"We, the members of the Tlcknor
club, are in favor of such memorial and ask you to Join us In an effort to gain the interest and support of the
county to this purpose. " 'Signed by the committee. (Signed) " 'MRS. J. M. BULLA,

BARBERS AGREE TO
8 O'CLOCK OPENING
Richmond union barber shops will
open at 8 o'clock Thursday morning.
Owine to tbe fact that several oi
the boss barbers thought the ruling
made by the union was unfair to them
a slight controversy has existed be
tween the two factions for several days. At the regular meeting ol the barbers' union, it was decided that
no union barber shops should open
until 8 o'clock in the morning, starting Thursday at 8 o'clock. The union set this hour as it did not believe that enough business was done at this hour to maintain the expense of opening the shop. Some of the boss barbers oppose the plan, while others favored it. So special meetings of the barbers' union were called Sunday afternoon and Tuesday night to discuss the matter. The union barbers decided to stand by their ruling and not open until 8 o'clock. Monday night the Boss barbers met but could reach no agreement. It was announced Wednesday that no union shop would be open before 8 o'clock Thursday morning.

ART ASSOCIATION BUYS MORRIS WORK
The Richmond Art Association has purchased "Autumn Pinks and Shadows," by Elwood Morris, local painted. This is the fifth local artist to be represented in the collection. The Art Association is endeavoring to possess in its collection a good exampe of the
work of the local painters. In the collection now Elwood Bundy. Maude
Kaufman Eggemeyer, Frank J. Girardin, Elwood Morris and M. T. Nordyke are represented.
"Marsh in Winter" is the picture that has just been purchased. Other
pictures will be bought in the near future. Considering the difficulties under which the association worked during the war, it considers that this year has been a very successful one. Four pictures have been purchased, including the "St. Louis Cathedral," by Robert Grafton, which was purchased with the Mary T. R. Foulke purchase fund. They are "The Red Bud," by Mrs. Eggemeyer; "Marsh in Winter," by Nordyke, and the recent addition, the Moris picture. The Morris picture and the Nordyke pictures are both excellent examples of the work of these two artists. Both have been exhibited in Indiana exhibits. The Bundy-Eggemeyer exhibit has
been taken down. This was one of the most interesting exhibits held in the gallery for sometime. More interest
was manuesiea in mis eimun mm has been shown for some time. Both
Mr. Bundy and Mrs. Eggemeyer sold live pictures each. The exhibit gave the public of Richmond an unusual opportunity to become acquainted with the two local painters.
(By Associated Press) ST. LOUIS, Mo.. April 30. Business uncertainties will be swept aside the moment the government substitutes a stimulating propaganda for its present policy of hesitancy, Governor W. E. Edge of New Jersey, declared in an address today before the United States Chamber of Commerce. To prove that business can be carried on profitably at prevailing prices, to long as they are high only in a comparative way, the government should start building roads, developing waterways and increasing railway facilities, the speaker said. "Business is poised on the springing board, but fears that the inviting water of prosperity may be only a mirage of a world thirsting for activity." he said. "You can't promote confidence when there is no certainty regarding governmental attitude, no fixed national policy."

The principal feature of the legislation re. quired will be a provision for additional revenue to meet the increased operating costs the companies will face when they resume management.

The other day when scooping up the flour for cooking, she found two $5 bills.
