KONECNY CONCERT Q DRAWS BIG CROWD; MUSIC IS LIKED
It could not be said that Josef Konecny, violinist, played without flaw, but he did entertain his audience in , the Coliseum Wednesday night, with , nn excellent program. His best rendered number was his last, "Holka-Modre-Oka," a Bohemian dance by Sevcik, which he played true to his temperament and technical ability. In other numbers his musicianship was marred. The American legion is to be congratulated upon obtaining the type of audience it did. Despite the inclemency of the night the coliseum was well filled. A sweet, and vibrant voice, more Buited to a drawing room than large auditorium, is the possession of Lola Murel Alley, soprano, who appeared jointly with Mr. Konecny, and Miss Mary Tris the accompanist of each. Miss Tris handled her piano with vigor, and obtained the best applause of the evening.
Indiana Brevities
DANVILLE Four Indianapolis boys plead guilty to the charge of trying to wreck a train on the Decatur and Western railway, one mile west of
Montclair. The boys were put off of
the freight train at Montclair, and while the train was at the station they walked ahead and piled ties and angle arms on the track in revenge for being forced from the train. SHELBYV1LLE Union officials estimate that 98 per cent of men and women employed in the local furniture factories are now out on strike. Arrangements have been made to extend financial aid to the unorganized women who responded to the strike call. EVANSVTLLE In the final roundup of members of the "whisky ring" by the federal authorities, those taken were: Edgar Schmitt, chief of police; Herbert Males, sheriff of Vanderburg county, and several other prominent city officials and detectives.

Wool Pool Plan To Be Tried Here is Planned For Use by Kentucky Sheepmen
The wool pool which is soon to be tried out in Wayne county is to be tried in Kentucky, the large tobacco warehouses of Lexington being used. On June 15 that portion of the 1920 crop of wool which has been pooled by growers will be sold by auction. It Is to be known as a state central wool auction sale, and is the plan of John R. Humphreys, head of the department of markets at the University of Kentucky. It has the sanction of the federal authorities at Washington. It is stated that approximately 600,000 pounds of wool has been pooled in 20 counties, and that it is expected that fully that much more will be brought in. All wool In the various county pools will be graded by a government expert, and a sample of 50 pounds from each crop will be sent here to the pale. The buyers will be guaranteed that the crop will come up to the sample. This will be the first application of this method which several years ago was successfully employed in the tobacco trade to the marketing of wool.
Lmencan Legion
Members of The American Legion, who will conduct a nation-wide cam
paign for new members. May 17-22, be
lieve that their chief enemy will be none other than old General "inertia. The legion now had 1,500,000 and
peeks to get 1,000,000 more. When it
is remembered that 4,500,000 men and
women are eligible for membership, by reason of active service in the World's
War in army, navy or marine corps, it does not seem that the legion's aim is an extravagant one.
Posts throughout the country, of which there are now about 9,500, report that their chief obstacle in get-
tmg men to join has been mere inertia.
Thousands of men are convinced of
the desirability of Legion membership and are in hearty accord with its principles. But they have failed to "obey that impulse" and become active

members. It is believed an active membership push will supply the additional impetus that will cause a majority of these victims of inertia to join The Legion.
The Legion has done enough bene
ficial things for ex-service men generally, whether they are members of the organization or not, to earn it a high
place in the affections of these men.
The Legion has obtained from con-
press an increase of base pay for then
disabled from $30 to $S0 a pionth. It has adjusted thousands of claims for war risk insurance for service men rnd their dependents. Until the legion took hold, the federal board for vocational training was not functioning properly in many districts. Recently a plan of co-oper-stion between The Legion and the Board has been devised, that promises to speedily solve the rehabilitation problem for all the disabled. The legion has helped to secure preference for ex-service persons and their widows in civil service appointments and special preference for the disabled.
The four-fold compensation bill for
ex-service persons, now before con
Kress, is familiar to all as being the handiwork of the legion. Back in those days just following demobilization, the legion was an active agency for re-employment and co-operated with national, state and private organizations to speedily return service men to profitable and suitable employment. A recent act of the organization has been to raise a fund throughout the jiation, with which to decorate the r.raves of all the soldier dead in France. To this purpose the money is being forwarded to the Paris post of the legion, and this post will superintend the ceremonies. In all these activities The Legion has acted for the service men as a whole.

A member of the Richmond School Board says that the action of contractors in refusing to bid on the new school, at Cambridge City, will in no way affect plans for construction of
the two junior high schools in Richmond. He has no assurances, however, that bids will be offered on the new building. However, the board will continue with detailed plans for the buildings.
