-MILK PRODUCERS TO " ORGANIZE COMPANY FOR SALE OF PRODUCT ' "; ; rf " - - ty , ;; Formation of a co-operative milk collecting and distributing . plant for .the city of Richmond was determined upon at the meeting of the Richmond Milk, Producers' association in the county ; agent's office - Saturday afternoon. ;.:,-Tbi3 action, it was thought, -would provide the best means for realizing a'! fair price on their product and allow the producers a voice in its disposal, while still insuring a supply .:.to. th6 .'city-tat a reasonable price to the consumer. The plan;most in, favor is to rent a suitable building, perhaps with an option ta buy at a later date, and install in It the necessary machinery, under the supervision of an engineer to be sent by the company selling the machinery. This will allow immediate operation at a minimum initial outlay and will leave the way open for future expansion, if that, should be 'found necessary, as is expected. Harry "vVhite was named chairman of the committee "to select a building, with power to "select two additional members of the committee at his discretion. .To Be Incorporated. . The distributing company will be incorporated, with ownership of shares limited, unless that is found impossible, to milk producers, each one be--ing required to take at least one or two chares, with no one owning more than a limited number. Details of the organization of the handling company . are not yet worked out and before it is - completed, other distributing companies will be investigated. Russell White is chairman of a committee to inquire as to plans of organization and results of operation, of distributing companies which have been formed in other localities. An gent, or the committee in a body, may visit cities which have such systems in operation. White is given the , power to select such other committee members as he may desire. Thank Farmers' Association. The first action of the directors, on -convening, was to pass resolutions of M hanks to the Wayne county fanners' association for having induced Murray D. Lincoln to visit Richmond, thus giving the milk producers an opportunity - to hear an authority on co-operative milk producing plants at a time when the information was valuable. Frequent meetings of the Milk Producers association as there are developmeats important enough to warrant-them will keep the members informed as to progress and a voice in the action of the association, obviatjlng the producer's most serious grievance against the old system of business, which, they allege, give3 them Sno voice in matters of the greatest iniIportance to them. iPENNSY VETERANS BANQUET TUESDAY Veterans of the local Pennsylvania 'railroad division will hold a get-togeth er banquet on the fourth floor of the!

" . The Kewpies played a poor brand of game in the first half, missing many easy shots under the basket and 'shoving a very poor defense. In the 'second half both defense and the offense -stiffened- and New Castle got very few,,shots at the basket' But the .tig lead .obtained by; the locals, was too much for the Kewpies to overcome. ; Smith, forward of the juniors, was the scoring star of his team, scorin? 10 of Ms team's ponits, while Addleman played the best game for the losers. ; In the curtain raiser the Richmond Midgets were defeated by the New Castle Midgets by the score of 1S-14 in a fast and exciting game.

THE

Methodist Pastors, Laymen, . Hold District Conference Methodist pastors and laymen of the Richmond district held a round table conference at the First M. E. church at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.

List 4,000 Prospects Qver 4,000 names have been listed as membership prospects for the chamber of commerce. The first gun in the direct work of the education of these prospects will be fired tomorrow in the shape of a four-page letter to each prospect. The letter makes a direct appeal to the civic pride and sense of civic duty bf the people to whom it i3 sent. It asks them to "Get in the game," tells them "What is a chamber of commerce, and why," and gives cogent reasons for joining to those who ask "How will it benefit me individually?" "With the letter is enclosed a desk hanger reading "Ask yourself each day. What am I doing for Richmond?" Committee Signs Letter The letter is signed by the campaign committee, J. J. Harrington, Jr., W. H. Romey, A. G. Mathews. John H. John son, Theodore Davis, Verne Pentecost! and Mrs. Paul Comstock. Speaking of this movement, one of Richmond's business men puts it thus: "Richmond needs the chamber of commerce. Richmond needs this organization to increase the opportunities of every business man and woman in the city. You need Richmond. Richmond's needs are your needs. Then you need the chamber of commerce. You need a larger and a larger and a greater chamber of commerce so larger and greater results can be had for you." ATTRACTIVE SHOWING OF HORSES IS SEEN AT COLISEUM MONDAY An interested and curious congregation viewed the arrival in Richmond this afternoon of aristocracy in the form of imported horses of royal blood as they were brought into the stable at 124 North Sixth street to await the sale in the Coliseum Wednesday afternoon. Not all the horses consigned were brought in, but enough had arrived late this afternoon to make an attractive showing and give spectators a good idea of the quality of the offerings. The sale catalog states "Some of the consignors are going out of business, others have to get new blood. Some have more horses on hand than they can take care of. Some horse3 we would not think of selling, but they were consigned to make this sale a success," and the appearance of the horses bore out these statements, as, failing the reasons given, few farmers would care to part with the animals to be seen in Taube's stable for the two days preceding the sale. Several Imported Animals Several imported horses are numbered among those offered and all trace their blood lines back to French ancestors. At least four of the owners, L. M. Huff of Newcastle, Horace Miller of Dublin, Merrett Roberts of South Charleston, O., and Wood Eliason of Centerville, are prize winners at fairs, the first three at state fairs of Ohio and Indiana. Eliason's and many of Roberts' horses are out of WHY STAY FAT? YOU CAN REDUCE The answer of most fat people is that it is too hard, too troublesome and too dangerous to force the weight down. However, in Marmola Prescription Tablets, all these difficulties are overcome. They are absolutely harmless, entail no dieting or exercise, and have the added advantage of cheapness. A large case is sold by druggists at one dollar. Or, if preferable, they can be obtained by sending price direct to the Marmola Co., 4612 Wood-1 ward Ave.. Detroit, Mich. Now that you know this you have no excuse for being too fat, but can reduce two, three or four pounds a week without fear of bad after-effects. Advertisement.

When in full bloom it is a mass of flame-colored flowers, and looks like a tree on fire.

When Louisville first heard of matches In the early thirties of the nineteenth century, a lady of Louisville wrote to her cousin in New York:

"When I was in Richmond last winter I was told of a curious new device for making fire. It consisted of small splinters of wood with tips of some substance that burst into flame when rubbed on a rough surface. If you can procure some of them for me, I shall be grateful."

It was many years after matches were generally made in Europe before they were seen throughout America. There was no means for spreading rapidly such wonderful news. Today the new invention that contributes largely to comfort or convenience is quickly known in every section of the land. Advertisements bring the story. The farmer's wife of Idaho or Texas is quite as well posted as the city woman of the East. Read the advertisements in your newspaper. They are the heralds of progress, the great newsspreading force of modern industry. They contain real news for you. They save you time and lessen your work and enable you to obtain better value for the money you spend. Time spent in reading advertisements is well spent.

One little fellow from Greensfork who came tc bear stories was told by the other chldren in the waiting line that no one would be admitted without a ticket, as there were so many who wanted in. Whereupon the out-of-town visitor . withdrew to a corner nd indulged in prolonged crying, un til assured that he would be admitted. Boys from Warner school, acting as hosts, went to the library Saturday morning and arranged pictures about the room and brought magazines from home. The stories on colonial life and George Washington were told by Mrs. Fred Girty.
