THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND . SUN-TELEGRAM. RICHMOND, IND., TUESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1921.

H1NES EXPLANATION DEFINES STATUS OF CAMBRIDGE CITY HIGH CAMBRIDGE CITY, Sept. 20 With an increase in high school enrollment of 30 per cent, and the employment of an additional teacher together with the offering of three courses of instruction. Superintendent Hines says he feels Cambridge City high school Hands a good chance of being placed in the first class when the expected classification of county schools is completed by the state department of education. "This classification which the department will undertake," said Mr.

Hines. "will assign a certain number of pomts to each school and a fixed minimum will be set below which a school may not fall if it retains its classification. This classification will be made In 1922. No attempt has been made towards it as yet. , Consider All Factors "The classification will take into consideration the length of term, number of courses, the building and equipment and the qualifications of teachr ers and divisions of the schools will be made into first, second and third class. , "In no case may a school which does not maintain a nine months course, be put in the first class, and probably small schools which can maintain only one course of instruction, will also find it difficult to attain the first class. Outside of Richmond, Cambridge City and Hagerstown are the only cities with schools which can fulfill the requirements for first class.

"Although subordinate officials have in some rases given their opinions of what ratings may be assigned, the state department of education i3 the only authority which ha3 power to make the classifications, and it has stated that no classifications are official except those given out from that department. "We will have to wait until that is done, therefore, to know where we stand, but are confident that Cambridge City schools will be put in the first rank."

GREENVILLE SHERIFF ARRESTS GAMBLERS AFTER SUNDAY RAID

GREENVILLE. O.. Sept. 20. Gamblers in the old Hufnagle woods, just

east of the Safer Street ball-park were

again raided about five o'clock Sunday

afternoon by Sheriff Joel Wagner,

Deputy Bud Corwin and Patrolman Ern Ball. There were two games in progress

when the Sheriff and his deputies de

scended on the poker players, one was

known as the big game and the other as the little one, and after the sheriff and his deputies seized some money, a

dozen players were ordered to appear before Judge Younker In probate court

at nine o'clock. Many Plead Guilty.

At nine o'clock the following persons appeared and Judge Younker, who meted out fines and costs as follows

on pleas of guilty being entered: Roscoe Buckmaster, said to be the manager of the big game, was fined fifty dollars and costs and sentenced to terve six months in the county jail. The jail sentence was suspende don promise of good behavior. Charles Hasher was fined twenty-five dollars and cost and given six months in the county Jail. The jail sentence was suspended pending good behavior and Hasher paid the fine and costs.

H. L. Thompson, Sam Byers, Bennett Dines and Walter Dines, who were arrested for playing in the little game were fined twenty-five dollars and costs, fifteen dollars of which was suspended pending good behaviour. Sanford Buckmaster and William Tice were cited to appear in court, but Tice, through his attorney, pleaded not giylty and Buckmaster failed to appear; Ream Held to Grand Jury Charles Ream, wanted here for the theft of a pocketbook belonging to John C. Brock at the Farmers' hotel, was arrested Saturday in Piqua and held until Officers McClellan and

Kierstein went to Piqua and returned

to Greenville with him Saturday evening. The amount of money taken In the purse belonging to Mr. Brock, who was employed at the Richardson, Nelson and Moore tile mille, was $385. Ream, who. it is aliegtd, took the money, had unloaded a car of coal for ihe knitting works, went to the Farmers' hotel and engaged a room for the night, paying for it. The room he engaged was adjoining that of Brock, who had left the money in a coat pocket. When be returned to his room a few minutes later the. pocketbook and money were missing, and the man who had rented the, room from Mr. Sellman also had disappeared, and the supposition is that the man who unloaded the car of coal, whose name is Charles Ream, got the money and decamred. ' The preliminary hearing of Ream

was held in Mayor Wright's court

Monday afternoon. After hearing of

evidence. Ream was bound oer to await action of the grand jury in the sum of $500, which he failed to give, and . was committed to the county jail.

Foster Campbftll, agricultural agent for Union county, said Monday: "This seems to be one of the weeks in which no township farm bureau meetings are slated. Everything quiet down this way just now and there is nothing of interest to say relating to farm matters." Asked as td the proposed short course in lieu of an institute the coming winter, Mr. Campbell said that the farm institute had been definitely shelved, but that no date had been set for the short course. He supposed it would occur in January or February.

,The National Swine show, to be held at Peoria, 111.. Oct. 3 to 8, promises to outclass any similar show ever held in this country, which also

I means in the world, this being th

greatest hog-raising country. That is about the way its boosters tell it, and as hogs alone will garner $25,000 in cash prizes, besides medals, cups and ribbons, presented by various breeding associations, the number of entries will be very large. The show will be held in conjunction with the National Implement and Vehicle show. L. J. Tabor Resigns. L. J. Tabor, prior to resigning mastership of the Ohio States grange, mailed out a letter to all grange deputies, also one to county agents. To the deputies he said: "A study of Ohio conditions proves that co-operation is better than competition. In most cases our strong grange counties are strong farm bureau counties. Mr. Tabor is right. Farm organizations are each designed to be helpful, to both individuals and communities. Their interests do not clash, but are

Has a Large Dair Herd. j We ran into John Bachelor on Mon

day morning, out on the National ioau west. John has a 230 acre farm five miles southwest of Centerville, on -which he keeps 23 pure bred Hol-

steins. and this number will De increased to 40 by January l; because he has 1 heifers due to freshen before that date. Mr. Bachelor was on his way to town with a truck-load of milk, his regular morning jaunt seven days a week. Asked as to sil filling out his way, he said there were but few silos in his neighborhood, and that, as in his own case, these were already filled, or would be by the week end. He stated that he had between 60 and 70 acres in corn and that so far as frost, is concerned, his crop is now "made," and it is a good one. A Tree for a Cent The Miami conservancy district, Dayton, offers black walnut seedlings in lots of 2,500 at one cent per tree, f. o. b. Dayton. No order for less than 500 seedlings accepted, such orders being filled at $1.20 per hundred.- An acre of such trees would add considerably to the assets of any farm and would help rebuild the supply of this valuable w'ood which was so greatly dpnipted bv the war.

Butler and Logan counties, Ohio, are

soon to have their first agricultural agents. When the two new men take hold 82 counties will be thus provided. Milk for Health Cleveland, Ohio, has put on a campaign to increase the consumption of milk, and the drive will continue for three months. The extension service is playing an Important part in this work and the slogan, "Milk for Health" will surely have an effect, and cause

a lot of thinking. A special corps of workers are busy in this work, and it is expected that other large Ohio cities will have similar drives. Such drives will not only benefit the dairymen but

also consumers who increase their! milk bills for the benefit of the fam-1 ily health. Vern DeHays Melons Vern DeHays, living in the Cambridge City district, said Tuesday that he is just about through marketing his melon crops, " of which he had two, covering 3 acres. His watermelons began to ripen sarly, or about the first of August, and he still has a few big fellows to close out. He planted but one kind of seed in each class; Albert Henney watermelon and Spicer's Cantaloupe seeds, and says both varieties made satisfactory yields and were finely flavored. One interesting point to this story is the fact that there was neither hauling or shipping done, the buyers taking them directly from the patch, as Mr. DeHays tells it. He said that his melons were seasonable and sold at satisfactory prices. He said with reference to his corn that the crop was all right, was safe from frost, but much of it had blown down during the high winds of last Friday. Will Feed the Children Three men sat dining in a Richmond restaurant the other day. earnestly

discussing the prospects for the poor during the coming winter. It was agreed that a number of them would probably go hungry unless the better off and charitable contributed relief. "Well," said one of the men, "I'll tell you what I plan to do, I intend to feed

the destitute women and children who come my way and will let me know their condition." On being asked where the feeding would be done he said: "In the big red brick down the road." Being curious the writer made free to ask who the speaker was and where he lived. It develoned that

these men were from Randolph county and the "red brick -house" is located on a road leading out of Winchester, and not far from town. The name of the man who so generously promises to keep open house for the poor women and children of that town is I. P. Hunt. Let us hope that no such assistance will be needed, but should it be, those who claim it will warmlywelcome such a benefaction.

DISTRICT CONVENTION OF KIWANIS CLUBS AT K0K0M0, SEPT. 29 KOKOMO, Ind., Sept. 20. At 9:30 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 29, the 1921 Indiana District Kiwanis convention will start in this city. Kokomo is making lavish plans to entertain 3,000 visiting Kiwanians and the convention committee, of which Otis A. Gerhart, president of -the Kokomo Kiwanis club, is chairman, urges the importance of all visitors

being on hand at the time specified.

The first day is going to be the day

of chief importance this year. The

beautiful new Strand Theatre will be the convention headquarters , and visitors should register there at the time specified. The convention committees promise

a remarkable program, one which they

say will put completely in the shade all previous conventions. All Indiana Kiwanians expecting to attend should

make hotel reservations immediately i

through their local secretaries, who

have been supplied with special cards

for the purpose. The earlier this is done the better, but in any event reservations must be in the hands of the Kokomo hotel committee not later than Sept. 26. Kokomo is planning to throw open her doors to the visiting Kiwanians, having a keen sense that no more important gathering ever met within her gates.

WHITE-BISHOP HOG CASE STARTS NEW

EATON COURT ROUND

Suburban

Explosives in Quarry Set Off by Lightning SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Sept. 20 An electrical storm near St. Paul community Monday caused an unusual accident. Workmen had drilled holes several feet into- rock at the Greely stone quarry and had filled the holes with dynamite preparatory to firing the charges with electricity from batteries.

On seeing the storm approaching, the workmen hunted shelter. A bolt of lightning struck the pit, setting off the dynamite in the newly made holes. As is the custom at the quarry, each charge is set off separately. When the dynamite in the several holes exploded rock was thrown in all directions and a steam shovel nearby was demolished completely.
