Wayne county's increase is second largest among these. Henry county increased 14.5 per cent during the decade, from 34,682. This was caused by the almost phenomenal growth of Newcastle.

June 4 Population announcements of the 1920 census have been made for more than half of 1he cities of the country which in 1910 had 25,000 or more people. Some remarkable growths have been shown during the last 10 years which will make many changes in the rank of these larger cities. Perhaps the most notable growth thus far shown is that of the two Detroit suburbs, Hamtramek and Highland Park, ranking 1,623rd and 1,393rd lespectively in 1910. Hamtramek now is slightly larger than Winston-Salem which in this eenrus advanced to the position of metropolis of North Carolina. More than three dozen cities having less than 25,000 people in 1910 have gone beyond the 25,000 mark this year, while upward of a dozen have gone into tho 100.000 class. There were 50 cities of 100,000 or more people in 1910 rnd 179 having 25,000 or more people.

The prisoner James Malone, 27 years old, was taken into custody at his home in that city and locked up at City Hall for a hearing later in the day. No specific charge was lodged 'against him. Malone, according to the authorities is a friend of Catherine Dunion, a former cook in the family of George H. Coughlin, father of the stolen child. She declares she is innocent of any connection with the case. Many clues have been run down by the police, but none of them have led to anything tangible as to the whereabouts of the little golden-haired tot. DIDN'T EVADE GALL, STEBBINS, WOOD MAN SAYS TO COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, D. C, June 4 Ernest J. Stebbins of New York, eastern treasurer for the Wood national campaign committee explained to the senate campaign investigating committee today why officers of the senate had been unable to locate him to serve a subpoena for his appearance at the inquiry. "Nothing could be more false than the implication that I have been evading appearing here," he said. "My family and my business associates have been absolutely persecuted by United States marshals and subpoena servers. They could not tell where I was. I did not know always myself." Senator Pomerene, (Dem.) O., remarked, "There were two sides to it." Asked to explain the eastern financing Mr. Stebbins said he had "received money which was sent through William Loeb and his associates. I paid it out by authority of Colonel Proctor and Mr. Loeb." To Determine Future Course. The future course of the senate investigation was to be decided late today by the action on Senator Pomerene's resolution proposing to continue the investigation even beyond the November election and to bring within its scope congressional as well as presidential campaigns. Senator Pomerene introduced his resolution yesterday but consideration was delayed until today. In the meantime the committee which is making the investigation was winding up its affairs preparatory to concluding the hearings today at. least until after the national conventions. It was planned to hear only those witnesses who already had been summoned. These were Mr. Stebbins and Warren Gregory, who was connected with the Hoover campaign in California. The third witness was a Mr. Greenbaum, one of those tfoffcerned in the financing of Senator Johnson's California primary contest. Now It Is Congress To Blame for Sugar Price ("By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 4 Congress, through having failed to enact remedial legislation when it was apparent that an acute world shortage of sugar existed" was charged with permitting prices to become inflated, undpr findings of the minority report of the house committee, which investigated the price fixing of the Louisiana sugar crop as approved by Attorney General Palmer and which were filed last night. Mr. Palmer's action in approving a fair price, the report asserted, ''accomplished results which could have been accomplished in no other way because the cane growers were exempt under the Lever food control act." Holzapfel Baby Gets Carbolic Acid Bottle; Quick Work Saves Life Moving day. an out-of-place medicine case, and a lively youngster, came near bringing sorrow to the Harry i Holzapfel home at 110 Kinsey street. Thursday. While the Holzapfels were moving some furniture the medicine case was placed on the floor. In it was a bottle of carbolic acid. The two-year-old Holzapfel boy selected this poison; investigated it; then tasted it. The child was rushed to Reid Memorial hospital, where through quick work his life was saved.

Hi Cost Planks Emphasized by G .0.

EIIITOU'S NOTE: Arthur M. Evnnn, staff writer of the Chicago Tribune, says the candidates for president know what the people want written into the Republican platform, irrespective of the opinion of party bosses. Ills article follows: To be worth a tinker's hoot, the next G. O. P. platform must carry an appeal to four main elements, the thinking working man, the farmer, the business man, and the white collar lads. The planks which touch upon high cost in all its ramifying causes will be the important ones. Among party men from Washington, senators and congressmen, who for a year or so heard little else but the big wind over the peace treaty, the tendency is to believe the league of nations will be foremost of the issues. But, in general, the candidates do

ELABORATE PROGRAM WILL FEATURE GRADUATION OF 70 AT EARLHAM

Despite the scattering influences of the war period, Earlham college will award degrees to 70 students at the 58th annual commencement, Wednesday, June 9. The largest former number of graduates was 52. Earlham approaches her commencement activities with more than usual anticipation, for the week's program is filled with interesting events. First will come the graduation recital Friday night of Miss Helen Hadley, who will receive a three-year diploma of music. Saturday night the public speaking and dramatic department of the college will present "The Lion and the Mouse" under auspices of Prof. E. P. Trueblood. A clever performance and noteworthy crowd are expected. Thomas to Speak Sunday, June 6, will be marked by the baccalaureate address of Wilbur K. Thomas, of Philadelphia, executive secretary of the American Friends Service Committee. He will speak at 10:30 a. m. President David M. Edwards will speak on "Lest We Forget" at the 7 o'clock vesper services. Monday afternoon the seniors will have their annual drive and "The Rivals," Sheridan's famous play, will be given by members of the Phoenix and Clionion societies in Lindley hall at 8 p. m. At S: 30 a. m. on Tuesday, President and Mrs. Edwards will follow a timehonored custom by entertaining at breakfast at their home on College ELKS MAY SEND 100 TO CHICAGO MEETING Richmond Elks desiring to attend the annual convention of the grand lodge in Chicago next month are asked by the convention committee of Richmond lodge No. 649 to communicate with the committee at once. The Richmond lodge probably will be represented by 100 members. If that number is obtained, the Pennsylvania railroad will run a special train made up entirely of coaches carrying the local delegation. Quick action is desired by the committee. Members are urged to give their names to the committee of which Howard Rice is chairman, at once. This is the first time in many years that the grand lodge convention has been held close to Richmond. Officers of the lodge say they are confident a special train will be chartered, but are anxious to have the names of members at once so that arrangements can be concluded. not entertain that fallacy. They know what the people are talking about i? the high price of food, clothing, and shelter, and the reasons why the dollar of 1920 has shrunk to half the size of the 1914 dollar in purchasing power. ' Stress Economic Side Lowden and Wood stress the economic side of the campaign. So do Nicholas Murray Butler, Gov. Sproul, and Gov. Allen among the minor or dark horse candidates. On the other hand, Senator Johnson and Senator Harding have said nationalization versus internationalization will be the chief campaign issue. But they all seem to agree that thj9 biggest problem the next four years will be industrial, commercial, agricultural, economic. When the voters go to the polls in November the question uppermost in their minds will

avenue members of the senior class. On Tuesday also will be special meetings of the alumni and Old Student's associations, members of which will begin arriving Saturday of this week. Homer L. Morris, of Earlham, is in charge of arrangements. Following a new schedule of reunions graduates and old students from the following classes will gather on the campus: 1865, 1870, 1871, 1880. 1881, 1890, 1891, 1895, 1900, 1901, 1910 and 1911. In this way persons who were In college at the same time will be brought together. They will be addressed by William Cullen Dennis of the class of '96 at 10 o'clock on Tuesday.

Back to Farm", Is Cry Of Husky Earlham Boys Two hurdred husky units of labor, most of which are going back to the farm, will add to the nation's productiveness from Richmond this summer. They are Earlham students. The Quaker boys were quick to hear the siren song of the plow and thresher, although the wages paid nay have something to do with it. Only a few are going to the tire factories, and a tew more will sell books and do the other usual vacation jobs. A score will stay in summer school. Only a few of the students are prosperous enough to loaf duriner the sum. I mer, and only a fraction of those are going to do it.

P. Candidates; They Sense Public Opinion on Question

I be "which party and candidate is best' equipped to apply the remedies?" The agricultural plank will be of in- i terest not only to the farmer but to the consuming public farm labor! shortage, threatened loss of acreage, coupled with overloaded distribution and broken down transportation, all reflect themselves in food prices. The advisory committee on policies and platform found that the greatest causes of dissatisfaction among both farmers and consumers of food products are the violent fluctuations in prices from week to week and the wide margin between the producer and the consumer. The weeding out I of superfluous middlemen through co operative organization is one rener measure recognized by all the big three candidates. The movement has already grown to l great proportions among the produc

TAG DAY The annual Tag Day for the benefit of the Day Nursery will be conducted Saturday. The benefactions of this institution are known to every citizen. . It is a positive boon to the mother who is compelled to make her own living. Her children are cared for in the nursery during the hours she is employed. A generous contribution in exchange for a tag will enable the nursery to continue another year in its work of mercy and love.

DAY NURSERY'S WORK SOURCE OF A RELIEF TO TIRED MOTHERS Saturday is Day Nursery Tag Day. Seventy-nine Richmond families have been served during the past year by the Richmond Day Nursery. Approximately 11.000 meals have been given little children and babies of the city at the Nursery since May, 1919. During the year, 3,972 children vere served. If there had been no nursery these youngsters, ranging in age from babies to children 12 and 14 years old, would have been left alone in their homes while their parents went to their daily tasks to be gone all day. On an average of 13 children a day was served throughout the last year. The nursery hopes even to increase its f.eld of service during the coming year. Thankfulness Is Expressed. Letters of congratulation and thank- ' fulness expressed from eyes filled with deep gratefulness is sufficient proof to i the matron that what she has done had been not unappreciated. Children left at the nursery are riven three meals a day. For breakfast a cereal and milk is served. For dinner at noon, a vegetable, meat, gravy and when sugar is not too scarce, a pudding. For afternoon lunch graham crackers and milk are the menu. Besides this each child is dressed in fresh clean clothes upon arrival at the Nursery, and through the day is or after school in the cases of older charges given motherly Instruction and care. ers, and what it now requires is linking up with the consumers. Too many hands are grabbing toil between farm and kitchen and overloaded system of distribution is perhaps the greatest factor in making high cost high. How Candidates Stand. As to the Big Three candidates, here are the highlights: GOV. LOWDEN The one practical farmer among the three; for 20 years has owned and operated a large "model farm" at Oregon, 111., where he has devoted himself to development of dairying, live stock breeding, tree culture, and general farming. As governor he created a department of agriculture with a farmer at its head; he launched an $87,000,000 road building program, the funds for the state's share of the expense to come from automobile fees; he put through a pure seed law, established a state

Senators said there was no opposition In committee to the resolution and that it would be considered by the. senate before adjournment tomorrow.

Work on Appropriation Bills. Several appropriation bills were yet to be approved. A similar program was before the house, in addition to which leaders in that branch expected to consider the senate resolution refusing the authority asked by President Wilson for a mandate over Armenia. Passage of the resolution was said to be assured, although Democrats expressed hope that the vote would not be as decisive as that in the senate. The merchant marine bill was before the house yesterday, but was sent back to conference because it was held that the conferees had exceeded their authority in making several changes. These were eliminated by the conferees last night and the measure was expected to meet no opposition when presented today, which will be after the senate has acted.

Then you send an agent to deal with our agent and we will contract with you for our products. With our collective selling and your co-operative buying, you will pay less for a better quality iroduct. and we will make a legitimate, stable profit.' Ultimately thi farm bureau means that there will bt both co-operative buying and selling."

ALIGNMENTS SHOW UP AT CONVENTION Short Session Hope of Delegates Factional and Candidacy Line-ups Begin to Solidify With Arrivals. WOOD MEffjulT SCRAP (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. June 4 Lines of notion among the Republican presidential candidates are beginning for the first time today to come out of the nebulous atmosphere of the preliminary period and move toward definite form. With the arrival of Ogden L. Mills, chairman of the Republican executive committee on policies and platform, final conferences on the articles of the Republican platform to be submitted to the convention are expected to begin. The results of the work of Mr. Mills committee are to be turned over to the resolutions committee chosen at the convention. Will H. Hays, chairman of the national committee, said the function of the Mill3 committee is purely advisory. "The 19 sub-committees have been at work for six months and through the returns of more than 100,000 questionnaires and by other means have obtained the views Of more than 1 Oflft .

000 Republicans in every field of public activity and interest," Mr. Hays said. Full Hearings Held "Full public hearings before th resolutions committee will, however, be held on all pertinent questions and interested parties will be given an op portunity to present their views. "C. S. Barrett, president, and other representatives of the farmers National union, representatives of the American Federation of Labor and Harriet Taylor Upton, of the leairue of women voters, will be given ade quate time. The arrival of Senator Johnson of California to take personal charge of his candidacy, and the agreement among Wood leaders to have Frank H. Hitchcock act as their field marshal, are the two outstanding developments which indicate that within the next 48 hours the situation among the Republicans will move into the state where the leaders will begin to do business. Johnson's Planks Outlining his campaign plan, Senator Johnson of California today declared that Johnson forces would present a league of nations plank denouncing the present covenant and urge a plank on the high cost of living and another against "dehumanizing" labor. Prohibition, he predicted, would not be mentioned. Personally. Senator Johnson announced in his daily talk with newspaper representatives, he would "make a straight out fight in the open with no deals or trades, no compromises". The league of nations plank. Senator Johnson stated, now is in other hands, bui. will be presented to the convention resolutions committee. He said it would declare absolutely against the present league covenant. Up until today none of the convention forces had reached the stage where one manager was prepared to determine upon a line of action with any degree of certainty of what might be expected from his opponents. But the soundings which have been taken during the last day or two coupled with the approach of the convention itself have advanced to the noint whm-a as the politicians say, things are about ready to move.
