Rotations Enjoy Feast And Special Program A Thanksgiving dinner was served to the Rotary club members and their wives in the Land and Dilks Cabinet factory Tuesday evening. Turkey and all the trimmings were served in the specially decorated finishing room of the factory, served by the Ladies' Aid society of the North A Street Friends church. Music was furnished throughout the evening by the Eaton orchestra. Frank Holland sang several songe, one by himself and dedicated to Rotary club. His parodies in which Rotarian names were used, delighted all those present. Mrs. Lloyd Harter and daughter sang several songs. Mrs. Dudley Elmer was presented with a Quaker Maid kitchen cabinet. The making of a cabinet was demonstrated during the evening. The mysteries of magic were demon strat bedy George Stock of Cincinnati. Although he exposed many of his tricks the Rotarians were in the dark at the close of the performance. Solicitors for the Red Cross were on hand and the Rotary club went "over the top" 100 percent strong. Virtually the only business taken up by the club was the endorsement of the proposed Chamber of Commerce. COUNCIL OF LEAGUE FOLLOWS ASSEMBLY IN ARMENIAN ACTION GENEVA, Nov. 24. Action in conformity with the resolution for Armenian intei-vention, recently passed by the assembly of the league of nations, was taken today by the council ' of the league. Germany's protest against the method adopted by thhe league of nations in awarding mandates over former German colonies was expected to come before today's session of the assembly of the league of nations. Delegate Millen of Australia yesterday introduced a resolution that the protest be laid before the assembly before being referred to a committee, and a discussion was decided upon. ' Amendments to the covenant of the league will not come before this session of the assembly, it. has been decided. The league, as it is at present working, has not had time to fully show defects in the covenant and a special committee will be charged with a study of the league's operations and asked to propose any necessary amendments at the next meeting. Scandinavian countries will be Invited to send small detachments to Lithuania to take part in the work of keeping order there during the plebiscite to be held soon. May Have to Wait New nations formed from parts of the former Russian empire will not be admitted to the league for the present at least. Bulgaria, Austria, Albania, Luxembourg and Finland, however, may become members at once, although Montenegro, which has applied for membership, may be forced to wait for some time before being accorded a place. Projects for an international staff, proposed by Leon Bourgeois of France at. the Versailles conference and rejected there, were revised here yesterday in a prolonged discussion regarding the reduction of armaments. M. Bourgeois first of all declared that the carrying out of the Versailles treaty must be assured before disarmament was possible. He declared that in order to make the treaty effective some military organization such as he had proposed at the peace conference was requested. Details Announced Details of this discussion, made known late last night, indicated that the sentiment prevails in the committee on disarmament that it is impossible to secure at present a general scrapping of war materials. On the other hand, Signor Schwanzer, an Italian member, pointed out the danger to the league in the disappointment of the masses if nothing should be done. Today's program comprised committee meetings and a meeting of the council of the league, at which it was expected action would be taken on the assembly's request for negotiations with Mustapha Kemal, leader of the Turkish Nationalists, through one of the powers. Some Uncertainty There is some uncertainty relative to the admission of Luxembourg and Finland to the league, but it is said that it is probable they may be Invited to join by a majority of the delegates. Montenegro's eleventh-hour application has not as yet been discussed and sentiment-would appear to indicate that Albania may not be admitted. Notwithstanding the decision of committee number one on general organization yesterday, which ruled that there should be no amendments to the covenant of the league at this session of the assembly, some proposed amendments will be brought up again fcy the Swiss delegation. The delega-

v tion will ask the committee on general organization to consider a propo sition to thoose the four elective members of tjie council from among different states successively, with only one term expiring each year. The Swiss representatives, with the support of Scandinavian delegates, will also ask the same committee to report a proposition for fixed meetings of the assembly.

CAMBRIDGE LOSES TO WHITEWATER FIVE CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind.. Nov. 24. Cambridge City basketball fans witnessed one of the fastest and cleanest basketball games of the season Tuesday night when the Whitewater Inde pendents carried away the long end of a 31 to 27 score in a five minutes overtime game. The game was close throughout. The first half ended 11 to 10 in favor of Whitewater. The second tialf start ed with a rush, Cambridge City taking a four point lead which was maintained up until the last few minutes of play, when Coach Jennings men tied the score, at 27-27, and the half ended Five minutes more were played during which time the visitors tickled the nets for two field goals, making the final score 31-27. Jennings, Wright and Mutchner played whirlwind games at scoring; Blose and Burt did great defensive work for Whitewater. Holiday was the star for Cambridge, making 15 of his team's points. Ellsburg, as floor guard, played a great game. Both teams declared the other a great aggregation and other games probably will be played.

NEW LOAN COMPANY FORMED IN RICHMOND Announcement of the formation of a new business house, the Prudential Loan and Investment company of Richmond, was mad today. The concern has arranged for offices downtown which will b eopened shortly after the first of the year. Temporary headquarters have been established in the K. of P. building. Dr. S. Edgar Bond is president of the new company. Samuel Fred is first vice president; Dr. W. L. Misener, second vice president; Clifford Hutchins, secretary, and Henry J. Pohlmeyer, treasurer. George H. Logan, formerly branch manager of the I. H. C. company has been secured as manager. The company will handle loans and discounts on merchantable paper, mortgages and other matters which the banks of the city are unable to handle because of their present regulations, according to a statement by officials today. HOME RULE (Continued from Page One) ment, due solely to purely local causes and conditions. Unquestionably, the plan has proved its desirability, in that officials have assumed a business atitude toward their official responsibilities. This has worked to the advantage of the poople and the community as a whole, according to qualified and unbiased investigators. The records of many cities, under commission-manager government, are merely an exhibit of a general, result-producing program of community betterment. This city should not hesitate to profit by the experiments and experience of other municipalities. We rhould all urge our legislators to support the measure giving home rule to cities, so Richmond can adopt thiii plan of government. Farm Sale Calendar Tuesday, November 30.

IND WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24,

RECORD CROWD SEES EARLHAM STUDENTS STAGE SCHOOL PLAY (By CHARLES ROBINSON) Playing before a capacity house the Earlham day students presented Jerome K. Jerome's "Passing of the Third Floor Back," In the chapel last night. The audience, which is said to be the largest ever attending an Earlham production, showed its approval of the amateurs efforts by repeated applause. Credit is due Professor Arthur J. Beriault for the success of the performance. The character development portrayed in the transformation of the spirit from selfishness and vice to love and fellowship, called for efficient coaching. The cast as a whole was one of the best ever making up the personnel or an. Earlham play. Each member seemed especially well suited to his part and showed an interpreting ability that would have done credit to some professionals. Paul Lichtenfels showed 'true acting ability in his role of a stranger who comes inta boarding house, the spirits of which is permeated with a spirit of selfishness. Under his influence the Atmosphere is entirely changed, becoming more and more altruistic under his influence. Kiwanis Club Attends. Ellen Newkirk, as Stacia, the little slave, interpreted her part with much feeling and in a realistic manner. She was the first to feel the mysterious influence of the stranger and her manner changed accordingly. Floretta Stinedorf showed remarkable poise in her portrayaf of the boarding house keeper who took evrey opportunity to cheat her lodgers, but who like the lest changed her attitude as the play progressed. Louise Meerhoff as Vivian, a young gist; Nash Higgins as an old bachelor; Howard Graffis, as Chris Penny, a lover; Claude Miller as Major Thompkins; Eleanor Bly as Mrs. Thompkins; Olin Arbaugh as Jape Samuels, a lisping Jew; Herbert Bowles as Harry Larksom; Jane Carpenter as Miss Kite, a maiden lady; and Esther Riad as Mrs. Percivay De Hooley, a rich ! aunt, all took their parts well. One feature of the evening was the presence of the Kiwanis Club in a body. Nearly half of the center section was occupied by the members and their wives. Pres. David M. Edwards spoke a few words on behalf of the day students in appreciation of the manner which the town people had supported the production. MANY CHURCH (Continued from Page One) Members and friends of all the churches are urged to attend. Of the churches that plan individual meetings, probable the most eleborate service will be at the North Fourteenth street Mission, where each year a large number of children are treated to a Thanksgiving dinner following a morning service. The Rev. Andrew F. Mitchell will deliver the sermon. A feature of the musical pro gram is the performance of the old j mission quartet that , sangf at trie church in 1900. It is composed of Mr. and Mrs. Milo Steggal, of New Westville, O.; the Rev. Irvin Steggal, pastor the Whitewater Friends church, j and Jacob Ward. A chorus of young people from the mission will also sing, j It was announced Wednesday that the J mission expected to serve dinner to; about 300 persons. Much credit is due1 local church congregations in making the annual Thanksgiving dinner possible, by generous contributions. The service opens at 10 a. m. Take Special Collection. According to the usual policy, several Richmond churches will take special silver offerings for the benefit of the Home for the Friendless. This is also being done at the union service. "America's Amen to the Call Fori Thanksgiving Unto God." will be the sermon subject used by the Rev. A. L.

Col. John F. Miller, Old Pennsy ' Superintendent, Judge of Men.t

BY GEORGE W. B. CONRAD The sounding of the whistle at the railroad shops, in the east railroad yards, impresses me with the thought Col. John F. Miller's dream of many years ago, has been realized. Col. Miller believed, long before his death, that Richmond would increase in Importance as a rilroad center and that the future would determine the necessity of enlarging its transportation and motive power facilities and removal of the shops to more commodious quarters in the east end. These commodious shops and yards give the traveler entering Richmond a favorable impression of our city and contribute largely as an advertising feature. Boosted for Richmond. Col. Miller, the most popular superintendent the Pennsylvania has ever had in Richmond, possessed unusual pride in his home city and his motto was: "Richmond always first." Many times when adjacent cities were without cars for shippers use, Richmond shippers would be given the preference. In a way, Mr. Miller was Richmond's benefactor, for Richmond enjoyed its first street car line through him, then the famous Glen Miller livery and sales stables, with "Doc" Francisco in charge, and finally Glen Miller park, which he personally maintained for the public good for several years. Speaking of the whistle at the new shops, I am reminded of a young telegraph operator who worked in "F" office in the old depot. This young man's name was Spade. The writer was a student of telegraphy in "F" office at the time and it is significant to say that one had to be pretty brave to work nights in "F" office In the midst of men like "Jack" Converse, Frank McAlpine, Billy Commons and others, for they always had something to "pull off" on the new comer. Joke on Spade. Spade was a first class operator, being able to "copy 6 and 8 words behind the "sender;' 'in fact he is the only man I have ever seen who could do such a thing. Spade came from a river town and the "boys" told him that "Gaar's" whistle in the morning was a steamboat coming up the whitewater and spade made a request on McAlpine, chief train dispatcher, for transportation up the river. Billy Moffett, who was then timekeeper, and an old operator himself. Jack Converse, Frank McAlpine, and Frank Duell. train dispatchers, were always depended upon to "initiate" new employes round the depot. Col. Miller had the ability to "size up" a new man correctly. He never accepted letters of recommendation, but was able by personal conversation with the applicant to determine whether he would make a good railroad man. As a result, Richmond "graduated" more railroad men in Mr. Miller's "school," men who have subsequently made their mark in railroad circles, than any other city in the west. The secret of his success was in nis keen sense of justice in dealing with his men; character and ability counted the most with him. It seemed that he was utterly blind to a man's color and nationality. This was The Farm By WILLIAM According to Mr. Thompson, of Thompson and Powell, at Hagerstown, the farmers in that section have great faith in the future of corn. They are holding it for $1 per bushel, Mr. Thompson declares, and as that is an impossible price for elevator men to pay at present, no corn is being taken in. Thompson says, too, that only an odd load of wheat is moving from time to time and that little is doing in the feed-selling line just now. H? says 80 cents per hundred is the best they can offer for corn. As to coal, they have not been out of coal for some time, the firm having been able to get eight or ten cars of anthracite this season, and still hav two cars to come. They sold the last lot. at $18, but expect the new stock can be sold for less money. They have a lot of soft coal at various prices. . i Quiet at Cottage Grove. I Gardner and Lewis, of Cottage j Grove, say there is practically no grain j moving, that farmers are greatly dis-! satisfied with conditions, both as to! grain and hogs, and are inclined to j wait and see what happens next. They i report some demand for mill feed and bran at the reduced prices, and quote i middlings at $42 and bran at $40, loss ! $1 per ton on return of sacks. Shred- j ding was well under way when snow J and rain stopped the machinery. As to the coal situation, they describe it j as "mighty poor," with them, as th?y j are entirely out. No one has suffered tor lack of coal, however, as they s?.y j both Liberty and College Corner have had fair supplies and their farmers have drawn upon both towns as needed. They hae orders filed for an-' thracite and soft coal, and hope to have a supply of each soon. Some Corn Bought at 60 Cents. Fred Miller, of College Corner, says he is doing practically nothing in tha grain line, and has so far not received sinv new corn, as farmprs am nn satisfied that the. price is to stay! down, and that many are planning to ! leed much of their- corn crops. Hi says, however, that the mil! folks have j contracted with one party for a lot l of white corn at 60 cents poi bushel, I for milling purposes. He says that he nas naa no nara coal since mid-summer, owing to a dispute about a large shortage in the weight billed on seven rarloarls tntnling- rirniirifl 57 ftOA ru-mnrlc . -i --w - - - i . and which he is trying to get a sot j (lenient on from the railroads. He j remarked, however, that the town was i pretty well supplied with both bard I and soft coals. Mr. Miller says he has Eome soft coal to come in shortly. Coal at Williamsburg. Roscoe Roos-a, at Williamsburg, says that they have plenty of soft co'al at the Fanners' elevator. Kentucky coal in particular, which they are now selling at $11, against $13.50 per ton. some time ago. Not a great deal of shredding has been done in the Williamsburg section as yet, is his report, partly owing to weather. Some flour and mill feeds are being sold at the elevator, but in the main, trade is very dull, there being little or no grain moving, farmers preferring to hold back for a better market. -

demonstrated when he threatened to discharge his own brother when the objected ,to "running" with Burns, the colored engineer. Burns demonstrated his ability as an engineer and finally was given the fastest run on the Indianapolis Division, that of No. 11. a train con posed exclusively of United States mail. Favored Gillilan. A class of men who were popular with Col. Miller were those represent ing the Richmond papers, or "pencil pushers." Among the number who visited the offices in the old depot who wore ever welcome were: "Ike" Kline, "Ed" Parker, J. Will Ronev, "Strick" Gillilan, Billy Blodgett. B?r. nett Gordon and Demas Coe. Thes? men were always sure to secure several "items", for Col. Miller realized that they were mn wos "--' smce waii worth cultivating. "Strick" Gillilan, with his fine sense of h"por, was unusually popular and would frequently get a "scoop" which would cause the other "boys" to cast eyer of wonder. Among the "national" characters who would make an annual visit to the railroad offices were "Immortal J. N." and "Calamity Jane." "Im mortal J. N." was a privileged character. He was extended every cour tesy from the gift of a postage stamp and pen and ink to the most convenient quarters in the offices. Helped Female Tramik A purse was always made up for "Calamity Jane," a noted female tramp. On one occasion she was offered a dollar if she would caress Martin Sala, a big, handsome Irish train dispatcher, who happened to be on duty. "Jane" won the bet, and Sala expressed his humiliation in a flow of profanity that has not since been v equalled. Among Col. Miller's chief clerks: Harry Schwartz and Frank Elder excelled. Schwartz was a fine transportation man and was the superior of many superintendents. Elder, who was one time posmaster at Richmond was an excellent penman and a good office man. During Col. Miller's career as superintendent there was no such thing as the eight hour law. Men railroaded for other than mere mercenary molives, and there was a feeling of, true fraternalism and common interest between official and employe. As a matter of fact, railroad men are born, not made, and this was

and many of his stair and the host of employes who have subsequently won high rank in railroad circles. As messenger, operator, stenographer and private secretary to Col. Miller, the writer found him possessed of traits of character of which mon are now rarely endowed, and many years hence his precepts and examples will be emulated by young m?n ambitious to rise in railroad service. Motor-driven appliances to the number of 2,000,000, it is estimated, will be I produced in 1920 .washing machines, j ironing machines, dishwashers, sewing I machines, vacuum cleaners and reI frigerators being included. and Farmer R. 8ANBORN

Earl Crawford, of Milton, who was A in Bentonville Tuesday, said the farmers over that way were not likely to do much shredding this season, many favoring using the fodder, rather than go to the expense and labor of putting it through the machines. He says that the only farmers who are selling grain are those who feel that they have lo sell at least a part of their crops. Received 177,000 Hogs. It was estimated that the 11 principal markets of the country received 177.000 hogs on Tuesday. There were fresh rceeipts of 16,000 at Indianapolis, and this resulted in the $10 hog, as some of the bears had long since predicted for this year, in view of the banner corn crop. Compared with Tuesday, Nov. 16, heavies- ranged yesterday at $10 to $10.25, against $13 to $13.25 one week ago. This showed a loss of $3 in six market days. It was also $1 per hundred below Monday's figures. Including holdovers there were 17,000 hogs at Indianapolis on Tuesday. The bulk of sales were at $10 and pigs went as low as $9.50. Monroe School Corn Show. - The Monroe school corn show, and an interesting program in addition, will be given at the school on Wednesday evening. The young folks of the school are enthusiasts on fruit growing and agriculture generally and are of the class most depended on to keep the farm home fires burning, regardless of the attractions of town and city life. The school garden will be represented at the show. WILLIAMSBURG. Itid.. Nov. 24. ' J Election of officers, a report on the slate convention of the Indiana Farmers Federation, and a discussion of marketing problems were features of a meeting of the Green township farmers association held in the Williamsburg school building Tuesday , evening. Arch Brooks was re-elected head of the organization. Harry Stanford, one of th? new directors, was also elected ice-president. Carl Wilson was named secretary and treasurer. Other directors named were: Howard Harter, Ora Smith, and Ad Chenoweth. "The great need of the Indiana farmer today is not a man to serve as county agent who can tell them how to make two blades grow where one grew before but to show how they can sell the first at a profit" said County Agent Dolan in the course of hi report on the state convention. ' The same principle can be applied to t lie work of the farmers in their organizations. It is more important for i hem to devote some time to making their product sell at a profit through work with an organization than to work harder to produce crops which will sell at a loss." Need of. the expenditure of monev for roads that will serve the cause of agriculture rather than the tourist or the military expert was stressed bv Dolan. He also told of the work of the state organization in pushing theffN "Truth in Fabrics" bill and the pro- 4 gress of the county membership
