PACE NINE

BUSINESS MEN TELL

OPINIONS DIFFERENT

Sentiment of business men along Main street appears to favor the motorization of the street cleaning department of the city, although many of them were of the onlnlon that if the

action could be deferred a short time j

the prices of material needed in the equipping of the department would depreciate to some extent. Several of the downtown merchants stated that they were not familiar with the finances of the city and the prices of motor trucks and equipment to make a just statement. Gives Opinion ' "If the city has to buy new wagons and equipment now. it would be best to motorize immediately. If the equipment now had will function for six months or so, I would suggest waiting that long," one merchant etated. - "There can't be any great depreciation in prices of equipment within the next year," said another merchant, "and if there is a saving to the city

by the use of the equipment that prob-i

ably would offset the difference in price," he stated. A prominent wholesaler stated that Indications are that there probably will be a drop of 25 per cent in the next year and that the purchase of the equipment should be held off six months or more. Favors Going Ahead. "I would favor going ahead immediately if I knew the city was going to use it properly. Some things that the city now has motorized, such as their trash and garbage trucks, do not do much good." said another leading merchant. Virtually all the proprietors thought that it was a progressive step. Of 20 who were asked concerning the subject six were strongly in favor of immediate purchase being made, seven were qually as strong against the city making the additions at this time, and seven took a neutral ground, admitting that they were not conversant with the subject enough to express a settled opinion. MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR CONCERTS, URGE Holders of season tickets for the symphony concerts are urged to have their seats reserved as soon as possible. Until all reports are turned in next Saturday by persons selling tickets the committee has no way of knowing how the sale i3 going except by . the number of reservations made. Members of the Young Men's Business, Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, as well as symphonvorchestra members, are asked to send in their reports on the number of tickets sold as soon as possible. Those who have not as yet sold their quota are asked to do so and report as soon as they have. According to the committee it was the general opinion that no effort would be necessary to dispose of the tickets. However, they say that the salesmanship of every club member 13 necesFary to successfully back the orchestra.

FARM AUTHORITY IS TO SPEAK HERE SOON

A national authority on farm economics may be brought to Richmond to deliver an address at the institute to 1p conducted Feb. 7 and 8, if efforts of Walter Fulghum, chairman of the arrangement committee, are successful. Mr. Fulghum telephoned to Purdue this morning requesting a speaker to address the institute on costs of farm operations, returns on the capital invested, and the labor incomes of farms. Dean Skinner recommended O. G. Lloyd, who is head of the farm management department of the college and lias developed a farm account book approved by the United States government for income tax returns, and promised to use his own influence with Prof. Lloyd to induce him to come. It was expected that Grace M. E. church would be used for the domestic science meetings, tut as the trustees will not permit that, the auditorium of the high school and its domestic science laboratory probably will be used. A meeting of all the committees has Ven called for Wednesday evening at ihe Chamber of Commerce rooms, when each committee is expected to report its progress and accomplishments.

Canadian War Vet Given Sentence Monday Joseph Earl Atchlnson, 19 years old, of Pal to, One," was setenced to. 90 days at the state penal farm and assiased a fine of $10 by Judge Bond Monday morning for forgery. Atchlnson was given the minimum penalty because of his age and the fact that he served three years with the Canadian army and was wounded and sent back to this country. He has been in the local Jail for over two months, it was stated. He signed the name of Ragowsky and Katz, a firm at New Paris, O., to a check for $15. it . was stated, and was caught while trying to pass It U.S. BUREAU WOULD GRADE TOBACCO AND AID MARKET SALES Better marketing of tobacco Is the object of investigations started recently by the United States department of agriculture. Though tobacco

is the fourth crop of the country, amounting to $1,000,000,000, and paying $300,000,000 in taxes, it has been marketed in a ruinous manner, officials claim. The injustice of the system Is said to be due to the auction and contract methods of buying, together with the absence of any recognied grades. This lack of standards prevents any basis for comparison between markets and even between communities. The quotations in one market mean little in another market, not being based upon recognized standards. Plans Are Approved. In October the bureau of markets held hearings for the discussion of

regulations for warehousing tobacco

under the United States Warehouse

act. Grovers, dealers, mercnants, bankers and warehousemen attended the hearings and gave their approval to the plans. Under the Warehouse act, the secretary is authorized to license warehouses for the storage of cotton, grain, flax seed, wool and tobacco. A form of warehouse receipt is provided which will be acceptable readily as security for loans. Inspection, examination of the products and regulation are provided for. It 13 probable that tobacco grades will be lecommended as soon as determined by the department. More than 300 applications for warehouse licenses have been received by the bureau of markets.

ATTENDANCE GROWS AT ART GALLERY ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON . That ever-increasing throngs of people are flocking to the public art gal

lery to spend Sunday afternoon is proved by. the fact that the number. 264, for one week ago, swelled to 365 this Sunday. Among the 365 persons who visited the art gallery Sunday afternoon were numerous high school students and their parents, in addition to the numbers who went to

see the pictures and attend the enter

tainment. An Informal musical by the high school students was a feature of the afternoon. - Francis Brown, an artist of this city, will speak on the Indiana pictures next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, it has been announced. At S:30 o'clock Mrs. Lewis King will talk on the numbers which the Symprony orchestra will play at the first concert of th course, to be given Monday. Jan. 31. The gallery will be open as usual, from 2 until 5 o'clock. The director of exhibits, Mrs. M. F. Johnson, will be in the gallery when it is open from 7 to 9 o'clock next Wednesday evening. As yet no sales of pictures have been reported, but it is understood, that several are being considered. "Mrs. George Spencer and several other women from Muncie, came late .Monday afternoon to see the exhibit.

In Uruguay all public schools are required to give lectures each term on the harmfulness of alcoholic drink.

Services for Jacob Hittie, Greenville, Held Monday GREENVILLE, O., Jan. 24. Jacob J. Hittie, residing at 133 Vine street, Greenville, died at his home late Friday night of cancer of the stomach, following a lingering Illness. Mr. Hittie was 63 years of age at the time of his death, and had but recently moved to this city from Covington. He was born In this county, in the village of Savona, and had lived there all his life prior to his removal to j Covington. He is survived by his widow, four children, two brothers and two sisters, all of whom reside in ; Darke county. Funeral services were held at New Madison Monday afternoon at 1 : 30, with Rev. C. W. Hoeff er of this city officiting. Interment in the New Madison cemetery. FLUSHER IS DISCARDED; IS UNSATISFACTORY Motorization of the street cleaning department brought to light the fact that the city purchased a street flusher several years ago which was only used for a short time and then run in the discard. Many people of the city who remember this outfit began an investigation to find whether it had been disposed of or was still held by the city. City Engineer Dell Davis stated that this was in the shops of the city and regarded as useless for use on the streets of Richmond. He stated that he had endeavored to have it repaired but that its being of an old model had made it very impracticable to do this,

which would entail great expense for little actual benefit. The high water rate in Richmond also was given as a reason for the non-use of the machine. The fact that the city sewers are in combinations, and not in separate systems also was pointed out as making the use of the flusher here virtually Impossible, Davis declared. When the flusher was used it would wash all the dirt into the sewers and get them stopped up. and additional expense in cleaning them was necessitated. - Cleaner Needed. " If a flusher could be used in Richmond, it would be necessary to have some kind of a cleaner to go ahead of the flusher and clean the streets of all trash so that ' it would not be washed into the sewers, according to the engineer. This would entail an addition of several men to the force now being used. A flusher is an added luxury to a city, said Davis. In many cities in the country such as Fort Wayne, Detroit and others, a moterized system of cleaning and then flushing is used. This is not Incorporated in the plan that the city engineer has for the street cleaning department here, it is stated.

YOUNG BUSINESS MEN'S INITIATIVE IS PLEASING The initiative of the Young Men's

Business club in trying to locate the plant for the manufacture of the Da-

rant automobile in Richmond is appre

ciated in a letter which President

Paul James of the club received from

Carroll Downes, assistant to W. C

Durant. president ot the Durant Motors, Inc. "Mr. Durant wishes me to state," says the letter, "that the plant will be located in Flint; Mich-, his old home town, which has always contributed so much to his success. He is grateful for ' your confidence in him and your Interest in the success of Durant Motors, Inc." The letter goes on to say that hundreds of telegrams, letters and peti

tions urging the location of the plant i

in their cities were received from au parts of the country-

FLOOR CONSIDERATION

OF BIG MEASURE IS EXPECTED THIS WEEK INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 24.- After a recess since Friday, during which many of the assemblymen visited the Lake City industrial centers, both houses of the legislature met this afternoon for the third full week of the 1921 session. . Relief for manufacturers of cider and other food products is provided in a bill prepared by Representative Dean. The Dean bill amends the state pure

food laws to permit the use of benzoate of soda as a preservative. Cider

will develop more than the legal content of alcohol unless some preservative is used. The pasteurization method will prevent fermentation but is too expensive for general use, it is declared. Use of benzoate of soda is permitted in 45 states. Representative Dean said. The Indiana law prohibits use of any chemicals in food preparation.

GUARD UNIT ROSTER IS FILLING RAPIDLY; NEW ARMORY FAVORED Recruiting for the national guard company that is being formed in Richmond is progressing rapidly, according to the men in charge here! It is expected that the company will be in shape for muster within the next few weeks. The Armory on South Seventh street is being held open every night for enlistments and to dispense information regarding the military unit. The rooms were open Sunday and many men took new interest in the organization. Considerable impetus has been added to the growth of the company by the announcement that a new armory probably will be built here. This will be for the use of all members of the company and the best facilities possible will be arranged for their comfort and pleasure. Frank Benn Active. Frank Benn who has been active in the work of forming the company thus far states that he is pleased with the action of city authorities in backing

up his plan for a combined armory and market-house, and states that th possibility of this going through are exceptionalaly good. Physical examinations for the company probably will be started this week. Dr. C. E. Duffln and Dr. S. C. Markley will be the examining physicians, it is stated. White gold miners in South Africa work an eight-hour shift, while the 200,000 natives work only five hours.

Protestant congregations throughout the city have aided the work of endorsing the resolution by j.assing them to the congregations for approval and endorsement. The resolutions petition the legislature to provide for the teaching of the Lible in the schools of Indiana as a pnrt of the course of study required by all students in the high school.
