RICHMOND MAY GET ADDITION TO PRESENT POSTOFFIGE BUILDING

If the public appropriation bill now before congress passes, Richmond may ! be given an extension to its postoffice. Postmaster C. B.- Beck said i Wednesday morning he thought it i possible that the local postofTice may ! be enlarged yet this year. The enlargement probably will cost about ; $75,000.

The postmaster,- other employes

and patrons are looking forward to the passing of this bill because of the need for more room in the postofTice.

The present building can be. con-4

veniently enlarged, it is thought, and the postmaster said additions probably will be made on the south side. Such

additions can extend within 20 feet of the building next on the south.

A national ruling prohibits govern

ment buildings extending closer than

that distance to an adjacent struc

ture.

In 1910. soon after the postofTice

was built, twelve clerks were employ-

led, while 19 are now on the staff.

B likewise only 15 carriers were emloved in 1910, against 21 now, be

sides special delivery and parcel post

men. The present building is too small to hold the increase of business. Receipts have doubled since 1910. when less than half the present amount of postofTice supplies, such as stamps, envelopes and money orders were sold, said Beck.

The swimming season Is on, and already in Richmond one person, a 12-year-old girl, has nearly drowned through lack of ability in the water. This accident resulted fortunately, but every season, even in an inland town such, as Richmond, one or two fatal swimming accidents occur. - Swimmers have many "Don't" to re

member, as well as several "Do's" One of the most important things according to O. M. Brunson, boys' secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is to get a knowledge of your physical condition; whether or not you have a weak heart and how long you can stay in the water and not become debilitated. Brunson explained that athletic events, participated in by persons who have been in the water some length of time, are a fizzle because of lack of strength in the participants. Even boys and girls who have, as a rule, considerable water endurance, become greatly weakened by overtime in water. If a person comes out of the water too weary and blue to be able to enjoy anything else the "joy of the pond" has been lost, and the swim has been for nought, he pointed out. Bear "Don'ts" in Mind. Brunson mentioned the following, which every swimmer should bear In mind :

Don't swim until an hour after eat

ing"Don't stay in the water long enough to exhaust you. Don't swim a great distance, even

thoueh vou are an expert, unless ac

companied by a boat. Some of the

most fawed swimmers nave sunereaj heart trouble or taken cramps. Don't forget you can drown almost , any place, even in a bath tub. Don't go into the water unless accompanied by a good swimmer if you cannot swim. Don't move about in a canoe on deep water; they are tricky. Don't forget that cramps come suddenly. . Don't think, when diving, that your "T'Lead will not suffer if it strikes bottorn. Don't go swimming in strange water without exploring it for submerged obstructions. Don't forget, above all things, that the quickest way to drown yourself is by acting recklessly. No bather is in danger around the water whether he can swim or not provided he take reasonable care. DEPAUW RECEIVES GIFTS (By Associated Press) GREENCASTLE, Ind., June 18. Gifts amounting to $75,000 and several $1000 scholarships have been received by Depauw university, within the last few weeks, according to Dr. George R. Groce, president. Mrs. Medusa Adams, of Frankfort, gave $60,000 for the endowment of a chair of Christian missions and international relations, and Edward S. Rector, of Chicago, two gifts, one of $10,000 and the other of $50,000.

Here Is Way To Suppress Army Worm If Crop Pest Appears In Wayne County LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 18 James Troop, entomologist at Purdue university here, suggesting measures to combat the so-called army worm that is causing great damage to grain crops and meadows in parts of Indiana, recommended today that a furrow be plowed around every field, care being taken to keeD the land side of the fur

row next to the field. Holes should '

then be dug every two or three yards along the furrow. When the worms start toward the field and meet this furrow, they are unable to climb up the smooth land side and in traveling back and forth along the furrow fall into the holes and are unable to get out. ,

The use of poison bran mash in fields where the pests have already arrived is recommended, the Purdue university receipt for this mash being as follows: To twenty-five pounds of wheat bran add one pound of Paris green and mix thoroughly while dry. To one gallon of water add a pound of salt and one gallon of cheap molasses. Chop up three or four lemons rather fine and add this to the mixture; then add all this to the bran and mix well. If not quite thin enough add a little more water. It should be moist enough to

cause it to stick together in order that it may be scattered well. This prepar-

MURRAY Romance and daring adventure vie with each other in the latest Tom

Mix picture, which will be shown at the Murray theater for the last time today. It is a typical Western story of the old days on the plains when the tremendous and sometimes savage

battles of justice against roguery were fought day after day and year after year. In many towns of the Wost it required some nervy individual like Kent Hollis, the character played by Tom Mix, to bring law and order into a town and allow honest men an honest living under their protection.

WASHINGTON. Madge Kennedy in the environment of the wild West! It had to happen. The laughter-provoking possibilities of the daintiest of stars surrounded by the roughest of Western characters has been evident ever since the piquant comedienne arrived at the Goldwyn Studios in California. The concrete result is "Leave It to Susan," confidently offered by Goldwyn as absolutely the best Madge Kennedy photoplay yet presented. She is a different in her methods as the locale is unlike any in which she has hitherto found herself. Her rapidly mounting popularity will increase by leaps and bounds when she is seen as Susan, daughter of a financier, who finds herself stranded on the Americon desert and seeks refuge in a shack occupied by a band of desperadoes. This situation, verging on the tragic, becomes an episode of delight as Madge Kennedy plays it. The entire production of "Leave It to Susan" is replete with moments of wholesome and refreshing fun. All the amusing happenings on a long railroad journey are shown, not to mention Susan's adventures with the bandits and her return to civilization. Players high in favor with public support her, and genuine plainsmen and cow-punchers take the places of her usual society satellites. All in all, Madge Kennedy's latest is sparkling comedy in its best estate. At the Washington today and tomorrow.

He rescues her whereupon she hands him back his ring and bids him gone forever. This action is not true to type and Ben is consoled by his pall. They decide to become detectives and seek to capture a notorious crook. After expending great effort they discover they have been trailing the wrong man.

that beauty of face and figure depend on womanly health. What is it that makes our American women often pale, sallow-faced, with dark circles under the eyes, and very often ' old at forty-five when they should be in their prime? Women suffer in girlhood from back

ache, spine-ache and headaches, followed by irregularities and as a result diseases of the womanly organs are more common than any one "but a physician in active practice could suppose. After long experience in the treatment of women's diseases, Dr. Pierce evolved a vegetable tonic and corrective which he called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This is a purely vegetable preparation, without a particle of alcohol contained in it. When a woman complains of backache, dizziness or pain when everything looks black before her eyes a dragging feeling, or bearing-down, with nervousness, she should turn to this "temperance" herbal tonic. It can be obtained in almost every drug store in the land and the ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapper. Put up in tablets or liquid. Dr. Pierce, of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., will send a trial size of the tablets for ten cents.
