POOR RELIEF CLAIMS TILED Claims for poor relief amounting to $13,013 were filed with County Auditor Brooks by Township Trustee J. O. Edgerton Friday. The claims represented the expenditure for relief purposes during the first quarter of 1922.

The law of 1899, under which relief is provided, precludes permanent relief. Expenditures for each family under this law are limited to $15 for relief other than medical. Claims will be considered by the county commismissioners Saturday.

GROWTH OF Y.M.C.A. ACTIVITIES III CHINA RELATED BY WORKER Progress 'of Y. M. C. A. work in China is told in a letter received here by Julian L. Smith, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., from F. S. Brockman, associate general secretary of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. with John R: Mott. The letter is of particular interest because many local citizens are contributing to "Y" work In China while aiding Thomas Elliott, former Earlham student and native of Indiana, who has been at work in China for 14 years. In part the letter says: "Twelve years ago Munson, the general secretary, came to Foochow. Since then the Y. M. C. A. has greatly changed. Then there were three foreign secretaries and one Chinese secretary; now there are four foreign secretaries, an increase of only one, and 22 Chinese secretaries, an increase of 21. "These Chinese secretaries do not include the 25 full time Chinese teachers In the educational department. At that time there were five Bible classes with an enrollment of 82: now there are 127 Bible classes with an enrollment of 1.946. This increase is seen in all departments. Preach to Thousands. "Within that time the association has held under Sherwood Eddy's leadership the great evangelistic meetings at which tens of thousands heard the gospel and a number of leading men of the city. were converted: it has conducted a campaign of education against iholera in which 350.000 people were reached an over 2,500 volunteer workers took part." Mr. Smith said Friday that Richmond people have contributed much through the local association for the support of the Chinese Y. M. C. A. work, and that this support i3 aiding in spreading the association work among the heathen peoples of China INVITE "A" ORCHESTRA TO PLAY AT COLUMBUS An invitation to play at Columbus, Ohio, has been extended to the high school "A" orchestra, it was announced Friday , by Prof. J. E. Maddy, conductor of the orchestra. The date for the contest will be some time the first week of May. The invitation is a Result of the tremendous success scored by the orchestra recently when it played at the national conference of music supervisors in Nashville, Tenn. A number of supervisors expressed the desire and intention at that time of securing the orchestra for an appearance in their city. The local orchestra is said by the supervisors to be "the best high school orchestra in the United States." Detroit concedes that th3 honor? belongs to Richmond, but states that - its orchestra is "the second best" in the country. Whether the orchestra will play at Columbus is not known yet, as the matter has to be laid before school officials and their consent obtained, it is said. The proposition as made to the orchestra says that all expenses will be paid by Columbus and it will receive half the proceeds of the concert there. BOOKWALTER IS KNOWN AS INTERESTING TALKER Charles A. Bookwalter, formerly mayor of Indianapolis, who will ad dress a meeting in Richmond Wednesday night, April 12, in behalf of the candidacy of United States Sen ator Harry S.

Trueblood, of Earlham college, will give a reading of the passion play at the West Richmond Friends church Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

On account of the war, the usual presentation at the end of the last 10 year period was omitted. The reading of the play Sunday evening will be accompanied by music from "The Messiah" furnished by the West Richmond Friends church chorus.
