The term of the present Rushville postmaster expires July 21. The term of the postmaster at Hagerstown, a third class office, also expires the latter part of July and it is expected that the Civil Service commission will soon call for a competitive examination for that position. Many churches throughout the Sixth Indiana district have been sending in petitions to congress urging that the United States government initiate action for international disarmament. The Church of the Brethern at Hagerstown endorses the suggestion of Maj. General Tasker H. Bliss, U. S. A., that the five great world powers enter into an agreement for a limitation of armaments. President Harding is asked by the congregation of Presbyterian church at Dunlapsville to call a conference of all nations op the question of universal disarmament.

The president wished he had not introduced it but raised no objection and finalIy gave it the right of more sweeping in its inclusiveness. 1 Then came a hitch, .which the presi dent has taken advantage of. Out of the present situation will come a resolution which will approve of the presi-! dent initiating disarmament proposals and will provide an appropriation for his negotiations. The new resolution will merely approve executive action on the question, it will not authorize nor request it. COMFORT STATION TO BE ESTABLISHED BY LOCAL MERCHANTS Efforts which bid fair to be successful, are being made by merchants of the Vist end of Main street, to establish a women's comfort station for the accommodation of out-of-town visit- . ors. The location chosen is the Dasement of Vigran's Variety Store, which has been offered rent free by the proprietor. With a stairway leading to the street, ana with the proper fit-, tings, the business men interested feel that this will be an acceptable location, and will add materially in the popularity of that section among Richmond visitors and country customers. An effort will be made to interest the city council in defraying the expenses of installing the stairway and railing that will be necessary, and in remodeling the basement and installing toilets and equipment. City councilman, Joseph Walterman, in whose ward the station would be located, has promised to bring this matter to the attention of the council at the next meeting Monday evening. Expenses Assured In case the council does not agree to stand all or part of the expense, attempts will be made to interest civic organizations, and that move failing, the merchants in that district-will contribute towards the expenses out of their own pockets, say those who initiated the movement. William Klein, of the Grand Hotel, has visited several merchants along Main street and reports that all who have been approached so far are strongly in favor of the idea, and he feels that they will be willing to establish the station at their own expense in case they can get no assistance. Much enthusiasm is felt over the proposition and those interested frequently declare that the station positively will be established. Basement Station The space offered by Mr. Vigran is a nine foot basement under the front portion of the store at the corner of Sixth and Main streets. The entrance gpace. There is a sewer near which could easily be tapped for a toilet outlet. It is intended to keep the station open from early in the morning until late at night, with a matron in charge who would look after the comfort 0f the visitors. A stand for the sale of j souvenirs and candies might be main- ( tained profits t0 be used to help sup j port the station. Tne tation would j hive nr rental rharcrcs anrt after the first cost of installation, would have j ony the sma, upkeep charges and salary of the attendant to be supplied.

A Fund of Information That You Should Have 1P ISRAELI, who for six years was prime minister 'of England said: "It has been my observation that the most successful man in any undertaking, is the man who has the most information." It doesn't require any particular information just to go out and buy something. But to buy the best of tha't something at a price that is satisfactory to you that is a successful purchase. And to make successful purchases you must have information. Advertising gives you just that kind of information. It tells you where to go in order to get the best of anything you want at a fair price. That is why it is a paying proposition for the man or woman who handles a pocketbook to study the advertisements in THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM regularly every day. To those who use it properly, newspaper advertising is a source of economy and satisfaction that never runs dry. It is a watch-dog of dollars a guarantee of satisfaction.
