THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1921,

CEfiTERVILLE LEGION PLEASED BY RESULTS lIlFWlpWEER ' CENTERVILLE, . Ind., March 14. Much satisfaction 4s expressed by. the members of the Harry Ray Post of the American, Legion at the outcome of the three day fai conducted by the legion l;ery. which ended Saturday night. Attendance wa abote expectations from the -very "itait, as, were the receipts, nd-lUi'e legion men,"hough. too hoarse froni,'' vocal fforts.,ot .the past three 'days, to express gratitude verbally, are 'endms. letters1, of thanks to all organisations which, have supported the fair, -to donators,' and wish thanks extended tbf -all who- helped in the success by their "attendance. -to' legion members of Richmond," "who stuck with ihem from the start, and to those wha jusifted in the program. " ' '-v?T 'I Although more were present the 'first night than had been expected" the attendance and .receipts .increased Juntil the last night which surpassed all previous records. "Jt was necessary to tlose the doors Saturday night after even standing room was all occupied, sod many were compelled to wait butside until the first comers had made way for others. Total attendance for Saturdays was 1,500, 1,000 of whom were paid admissions.'' No charge was made for children, and for the War Mothers and Campfire GirK Receipts for Saturdays were $1,000. Total receipts for the Ihree'days are $2,800, exclusive of receipts from advertising in the program, and total attendance in excess of 3,000. ; The program of entertainment Saturday night included, besides the regular concessions, which were exhausted early, singing by Harry Frankel. . The ham tree was sold out first, being cleaned out at 9 o'clock and the country store was exhausted at 9:30. The flower booth also sold out early. Every booth, even 'to the fortune teller, set new records for receipts on the last day. according to the final accounts. ; Even .the lumber from which the booths had "been built was auctioned Off at the close of the evening, so that when the fair was finished, no single trace of it remained in the garage. John Moulton, of Centerville. and V. A. Friede, of Richmond, acted as auctioneers. Among other things put up for auction was a pure bred Poland China pig donated by Porter Pike and named In honor of the occasion, Liegion Queen. The Legion plans to buy. rent, or build a hall for quarters with the proceeds fronvthe fair, probably to buy a tuilding, the lower floor of which" may be rented for business purposes. It is expected that the membership will be increased as soon as a suitable Home is provided. DAVIS; NEW , (Continued from Page One.) routine duties of his office, meeting rpeimpnta of office seekers and

answering a deluge of correspondence. V New Postal Policy. i Some decision in regard to a policy.

for the 'appointment of first, second and third class postmasters will probably be reached by Postmaster General Hays and Pres. Harding : before congress convenes in",spe$ial session next month. Fourth class postmasters are civil service employes and an act of congress provides 'that competitive examinations shall be held for the appointment of such postmasters First, second and third class postmasters have always been . appointed on the recommendation of members 'of the lower house of congress. Last fall, however, Pres;dent Wil?on issued an order placing all first, second and third class postmasters under, the . civil service. Republican congressmen are now being polled by Rep. S. D. Fess, chairman of the national Republican congressional committee, to ascertain their views on. the ( following questions: . 1. Should the executive order of President Wilson be continued ? 2. Should the-order be modifled? If m in what particular and to what degree? :.. Should the order be' revoked?. It is probable that the replies rereived to these questionaires will have considerable influence with the administration in' the shaping of its policy regarding appoinnent. of postmasters of the three hiehest classifications. To Fill Out Terms. Tt is believed that no matter what policy is decided upon it will be provided, should the Wilson order be rescinded or modified, that postmasters now perving.will be permitted to fill out their terms of office, four years, dating from the time their appointments were confirmed by the senate. In this event, providing there were no resignations by present incumbents, only five of the 21 postmasterships of the three highest grades in the sixth Indiana district would expire this year, at the following offices: Hagerstown, Wayne cotfnly, Rushville, Rush county, Milruy, Rush county. Fortville, Hancock county, and Brookville, Franklin county. The fact that some postmasters in

the sixth district have two and even three years to serve has not prevented a general scramble after these positions on the part of many Republicans. A vigorous contest is being waged in Hagerstown for the postraastership. The term of the present postmaster of Hagerstown expires next July. Members of congress have no desire to prolong these postmastership contests but they can take no action until a policy Is formulated.
