Thousands of beautiful white rose3 have been ordered for presentation to the women, and there will be milk to drink for all comers. The machinery of this new and most modern creamery and dairy plant will be in operation. Milk will be bottled in the presence of the visitors. The guests of the evening will be received by members of the reception committee at tne entrances on South A street, and will be escorted through the plant. This will enable them to follow the various processes through' which the milk passes on its way to the consumer, either in bottles or in the form of butter, cottage cheese, or condensed. The sightseers will begin where the milk is received in cans from the dairy farms and 'follow the white stream through numerous interesting processes.

Ratifications of the German-American peace treaty were exchaneed here last night at 'he foreign office between Ellis Loring Dressel, American commissioner, and Dr. Karl Wirth, chancellor and mir. ister of foreign affairs. The ceremony, which means a return of friendly relations between Germany and the United States, took place at 6:20 o'clock. It consumed less than five minutes. The exchange was to have occurred at noon, but j owing to numerous other appointments of Chancellor Wirth, Air. Dress-el was compelled to await a summons to the foreign office. This came by telephone, and the American commissioner, accompanied by Frederick R.

SOCIAL SERVICE BUREAU MOVES SATURDAY INTO ENLARGED QUARTERS AFTER 7 YEARS

The Richmond Social Service bureau. loted in the county court house . , ' for the Past four ears nas outgrown its quarters in that building. Satur day, seven years after the bureau had started work in this city, was given over to moving the records of the inI stitution into its new home on North Eighth street, next to the high school. Much larger working quarters, better facilities for accommodating the patrons of the bureau, and a more convenient location, are among the advantages cited by officials of the Social Service bureau for the change. Rev. George G. Burbanck, head of the department of social education emphasized the need of the institution for quarters that would allow it to function properly. "The court house is run on a business schedule," he said, "and the needs of society, which the bureau must serve, are not run on a business schedule. People do not get sick on schedule, but when they do fall ill, they want relief at once. We wanted the bureau accessible at any time." Good Location. That it is easily reached is evidenced by the fact that it is less than two (blocks from the heart of the city. Lo cated between the high school, on the north, and St. Paul's Episcopal church on the south, the building, which was formerly occupied by Dr. J. C. Blossom is ideally arranged for the work which will be carried on within its walls. Each department of the Social Service bureau will have separate quar ters in which their work may be car ried on in complete harmony, without; confusion of detail. Entering the build- j ino- ft-nm tho fmni the nhtprvpr woe on his right, a large well lighted room which will be used for committee meetings, and for the office of the executive secretary of the bureau. Miss S. Ethel Clark. On the left of the hallway, two rooms have been reserved, tho first as a reCross work carried on by the bureau. Rooms upstairs are arranged on the same general plan as downstairs. In the southwest corner of the second floor is located the room in which the health department will conduct clinics, and carry on such other activities as it finds necessary. Across the hall, two rooms will be turned over to office work and the storing of supplies for the two nurses employed by the health division. This division cares for such problems as relate to the public health, including advice to mothers of small children, milk distribution, visits from nurses and the like. Two nurses, Miss Virginia A. Jones and Miss Katherine Daub, have been employed by this division. The demand for their services has grown so great, however, that another, Miss Sluite, will take up the work within a few weeks.

When the Social Service bureau was reorganized in 1917. it started work with four affiliated organizations. Last year it had 11. This year it has 20, and a board of directors numbering 52, made up of representatives of these organizations Howard A. Dill (is president of the bureau, and mem Aids Suffering Many activities are carried on under the direction of the bureau. Tn each and every one, the primary object of the oreanization. that of saving- thp taxpayers' money, by making relief , g0 as far as possible, and obviating the need for relief as much as possible, Is never forgotten. The work of the Richmond Soda! Service bureau, according to statements of its officials, is always constructive. It is not a relief organization in the strictest sense of the word, as it aims to strike at the root of the trouble in most cases. In every community, there are unfortunates, who find it necessary" to fall back on outside aid at certain periods. The bureau takes these cases, gets them on their feet, and sets them to making their own way once more. Many an individual has been saved from becoming a public charge through such action. Hun-

dreds of dollars are saved the county and the taxpayers annually through such work. ' Prevention is Aim. In this connection, the statement of Rev. George G. Burbanck, head of the department of social education of the bureau, is of interest. Rev. Bur banck head of the department of so- j cial education of the bureau, is of interest. Rev. Burbanck asserts the bureau is working on the assumption that prevention is better than cure., tie says. "The Social Service motto is 'cure , aim to diagnose social conditions, find the source of the evil condition, and eliminate that source." Education of the giver is as important as education of the person who receives aid, according to him. To this end, the social education department has taken steps to circulate all information regarding reports of state institutions, which have inmates from Wayne county. Then these reports are applied to conditions locally. Seek Information. Questionnaires are sent ot heads of these institutions, and they are asked to state what steps should be taken to prevent other cases of a like nature.

It j to r ve any influence on a decision proceeds on the theory that these in-;on the Ford proposal, modification of stitutions exist because conditions miwhich he discuss witn Mr. Ford Wayne county are . not right, and x-ov -.o

should be remedied. Besides its public health service de partment, the bureau has general supervision of the veneral disease clinic, which is in direct charge of Dt. S. E. Smith, at Easthaven. A county-wide tuberculosis committee is also numbered among the activities. This committer, which has representatives in every township is under the direction of Dr. George B. Hunt. At present it I is co-operating with the state board of j health in putting on a 'jiberculosis i educational campaign in the county. Other Department Heads Mrs. J. F. Hornaday is chairman of the family welfare department. Tho bureau also conducts the home service department for the Wayne county chapter of the Red Cross. Miss Margaret Starr is at the head of this division which looks after ex-service men. Sam Fred has charge of the finance and membership division, and Horace Kramer is chairman of the health division. The Social Service bureau also conducts all investigation into cases of distress which would otherwise be j nanaiea Dy tne county. It insures against waste of funds and avoids duplication of relief.

LIBRARY INCREASING ITS STOCK OF BOOKS; SEEK BETTER GRADE Many new books are being added to the shelves of the library as the result of many calls for books that are not on the library shelves, and which people are wanting. If a person wishes a book that is not at the library, and can convince the librarian of its value to the public, this book is purchased. People are requested to see the li brarian when they cannot get a book at the library. Every effort is being made to purchase the books that are in most demand. Several new books are being read, and for which it has been necessary to have a waiting list. They are: Strachey's "Queen Victoria." and Wells' "Outline of History." Fred O'Brien's stories on tie South Seas also are becoming very popular, and are never on the shelves.. All bocks concerning Richmond and Indiana are purchased by the local library, as soon as they are published. A complete record of the history of Richmond can be obtained. Recommend Books. A new set of books recommended to all teachers cf the city has been purchased at the recommendation of Superintendent of Schools W. G. Bate. This set of books is on the "Modern Method of Teaching,' for teachers. Books concerning the World war are being added to the library as soon as they are published. Calls for history and biographies are being made more than in previous years. Books for drama are being used continually by the high school and by Earlham students. Books are sent out to the schools in West Richmond in large numbers, so the people will not be compelled to come over to the library This is especially so at the Sevastopol school. Readers of Richmond are demantmg a higher grade of books than what I has been demanded in the last few vears. accorrlin? to the librarian.

the epidemic. Mr. Collier owned a large general store at Falmouth, which burned last year, and he is now out of business. As a farmer he formerly was quite well known to pure-bred men, as a buyer of good live stock. "We are Making History" At the ratification conference of the committee of fifteen at Chicago, on Thursday, C. H. Gustafson, chairman, said : "We are making history these days, not history to be. paid for in taxes and in sorrowful memories of war. but history having to do with the emancipation of agriculture. We are making economic history. We are learning to co-operate and are learning how to secure for farmers some of the legitimate advantages of big business. We are discussing ways and means, whereby, we can meet big business." A Representative Gathering The marketing confernce has brought together a very representative gathering, but not a large one. There are less than 250 in the essemblage, but these represent 31 livestock producer organizations, and all the live stock states. J. R. Howard, president of the American farm bureau, and who appointed the committee, stated at the conference that he believed this conference to be fraught with more possibilities of improvement in the meat producing business than any meeting heretofore held. The farm public will be glad to find this true. Moreover, it will be to the best interests of the entire people to have some system of orderly marketing and stabilized prices developed, if that be possible. These temporary crashes in priceB. costing growers millions, very seldom benefit the consumers in a thousand towns, a single dollar. What Irish Farmers Fear It is said that Irish farmers and cattle dealers are thoroughly alarmed over England's threat to lift the embargo on the importation of Canadian cattle into the British Isles. The farmers, it is said, have been sending delegations to Mr. de Valera about this, and they are telling him plainly that "if this is what independence means they want none if it." England is, of course, Ireland's greatest and highest priced market, for all its products, linen and homespun wools, possibly excepted. One Man's Idea. A resident of Sterling, Illinois, suggests that concerted action on Thanks giving day to raise $50,000,000 by the

Both are entitled "The Short Story," one written by Canby and tha other by Baldwin. Short story writers who will be studied and some of the books by which they are represented and from which Mrs. Coffin wil select her ilustrations follows: Katherine Fullerton Gerould: "Vain Oblations and "The Great Tradition."; Anne Douglas Sedgwick, "Christmas, Roses."

Dr. Carl W. Gay. of the Ohio university, says: 'if I were a young man, I'd go in for live stock here in Ohio. Prices are right and the future was never brighter." Dr. Gay is professor of animal husbandry at the university and was. addressing a conference of extension workers on his favorite subject. Prof. Gay traced the development of cows that produce 30 times their own weight in milk, and stated that no other state in the Union has a better record for constructive work in such development.

Farm Use For Banana Stems If your grocer will give you a banana stem, whiph he will gladly do, if he has one, take it home and cut it up. Put the pieces in the chicken house and let the mites have a whack at them. Just what these pests know about the juices in these stems isn't told in natural history, but poultry men say that mites will desert the chickens for the stems. Having caught your mites destroy them and reset the traps. The United States postoffice department has now completed parcel post service to Russia. The rate will be 12 cents a pound plus transit charge, which depends on destination and weight.

NEED TO GET BACK TO HONEST WORK, SAYS BUTLER COLLEGE HEAD "Get back to honest work," was the message given the teachers of Richmond and Wayne county by Robert J. Aley, president of Butler college, Saturday aiternoon. A total of 340 teachers was present at the meeting. Reverence for the law and openmindedness were other points streesed by the speaker. He said figures showed that the amount of work done before the war by three men was now being done by four, and that the general attitude was tnat of "getting by.' He also took a rap at the state course of study, saying that everv

j person who had an idea or fad made an effort to get it into tne state course of studv. "Pupils used to take satisfaction tn want others to work it out for them. It has been 19 years since I heard a pupil protest against receiving help," he said. The city teachers' institute was held at the high school and Garfield school in the forenoon.
