U, B. BOOSTERS BRING THEIR OWN SLOGAN TO SUNDAY With a telling sermon on using your talents, that brought tears to the audience, Billy Sunday, Saturday afternoon, declared that it was the use of your talents that kept them from withering, and the preaching of God that kept his influence alive. Interest in the meeting was aroused when Rev. H. S. James headed a dele gation of 25 members of his Sunday school class, who called themselves the U. B. Boosters. As they stood up to be Introduced to the audience the women repeated in unison: "We're only a bunch of women, Just a very few, Eut we've each a job in this campaign, And we're going to push it through. IT. B. Hustlers." "When asked for their special song, they requested that Mrs. Asher and Mr. Rodeheaver sing them one. Mrs. Asher was not present, however, so they were promised the treat some ether time. In opening the talk for the finances of the campaign Mr. C. O. Williams, county superintendent of schools, said that if he and Mrs. Williams had invited a guest to dinner and then argued about who was to pay for the meat, the guest would leave disgusted. "Just so," he said, . "it was up to Richmond to put her own house in order before the guest." SAYS NEW ENTITLED TO VOTES OF VETS ON SOLDIER RECORD INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., April 24. "I believe Captain New is fairly entitled to the vote of the soldiers as a soldier, aside from the claims he has on their suffrages by his record as a statesman," said Gavin L. Payne, head of Gavin L. Payne and Company, in a letter of indorsement of the purposes of the ex-Service Voters' league, written to Byron C. Young, president of the league. The letter praised the war, record of Senator New. who is a candidate for the Republican renominatkra, and who is one of the number of former service candidates indorsed by the ' league. It likewise commended Sidney S. Miller, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for judge of superior court. Room 3; Joseph A. Minturn, a candidate for the Republican nomination for judge of the juvenile court, and Theodore E. Taylor, a candidate for the Republican nomination for sheriff, who are on the league's ticket. "I believe it eminently proper and commendable," Mr. Payne said, "for the soldiers of the world war to promote the fortunes and candidacy of their comrades in politics through the organization of the ex-Service Voters' league. There is ever a tendency to hurrah in the abstract and do little for the soldier in the concrete. Who can be better deserving of favors at the hands of the people than the man who rushed to the defense of these same people in perilous times? The machine politicians bind themselves together for their own selfish purposes, and little chance would a soldier stand, if it were not for an organization like yours, which keeps before the voters the merits and claims of the soldier. New a Fine Soldier. "I notice that you have at the head of your Republican list the name of Harry S. New for senator. I have seen Harry S. New in the field as a soldier; at his camp in Florida during the Spanish-American war. and I well remember the words of old General Andy Burt, under whom he served, when he told me that Captain New was a "hell of a fine soldir." To anybody who knew this rugged old army officer, whose dash and rough ways made him a character in the old army, it con veyed a volume, when he spoke this of any officer. "I also had the good fortune to meet Major-General Fitzhugh Lee at that time, and he expressed to me his great admiration of Captain New, both as an officer and as a man. I believe Senator New is fairly entitled to the vote of the soldier, as a soldier, aside Irom the claims he has on their suff rages by his record as a statesman." BUENOS AIRES NEEDS EDUCATED POLICEMEN (By Associated Press.) . BUENOS AIRES, April 24. Globe trotters who have acquired two or , three languages in their wanderings, and who would like to settle down to steady jobs will be heartily welcomed . by the chief of police of Buenos Aires. This city has become so metropolitan that the police decided to muster in a large number of linguists as pa- : trolmen, but discovered there were not sufficient men here to complete the personnel. Deciding to invite foreigners to apply for the jobs, the authorities have specified that applicants ; must speak two foreign languages and . be willing to become citizens of Ar- ; gentlna. As part of his uniform, each ' member of the linguistic squad wears on his sleeve a flag of the country whose language he speaks, with cor4 responding inscriptions such as "Je parle francais," "Ich sprecht Deutsch," "lo parlo Italiano" and "I speak English. Some of the men wear as many as seven plaques. BAR MOVIE ACTRESS FROM CHURCH LIFE (By Associated Press) ; NASHUA, N. H.. April 24. Virginia Pearson, motion picture actress, who was to have spoken at the First Baptlst church last night, was prevented ' at the last minute by the deacons. ' They instructed the pastor to an- . nounce that the action was for "the good of the church." A crowd that filled the auditorium for the first time in its history had appeared to hear Miss Pearson tell of ; "efforts to raise the moral standard ' of the stage." She said afterward, that she was invited to speak by the . pastor, adding that the action of the deacons was "apparently the work of people who think that actors and actresses are damned forever."

Shavings From the Tabernacle Sawdust Trail
FIRST TEARS FALL , The first real tears that could be seen from the press boxes at the tabernacle fell Saturday afternoon when Sunday told the story of the person who had never talked of God to his unbelieving neighbor, and of his promise when that neighbor had died cursing him and his God. The tears were many, and on many faces, and were still falling when Sunday ended his sermon. The applause that followed was weak, as if coming from an audience that could not believe that he had finished. COLLEGE CORNER VISITOR Rev. Frank Boyd, of College Corner, was a tabernacle visitor Saturday. At the time of the Cincinnati campaign Rev. Boyd was pastor of the United Brethren congregation there, and took an active part in the work. BRINGS SUNDAY CARTOON W. A. Waggoner, of New Paris, brought to the tabernacle a framed copy of a cartoon from an Atlanta paper at the time Billy Sunday had just finished his campaign there. The cartoon was headed: "Send him away with a smile." And showed Sunday with his grips leaving the city. Oh, I remember that cartoon," Sunday said when it was shown to him. REFERS TO FRIENDS When Sunday in his first sermons referred to the denominations, he kept I starting or with the Presbyterians or the Methodists, but lately he has invariably commenced with the Friends. He never calls them Quakers. BRETHREN WILL ATTEND Friday night of next week, in addition to being a Christian church night, is to be United Brethren night. A delegation of from 25 to 35 ministers and members of that denomination are expected from Dayton and if arrangements can be made, the United Brethren quartet will sing. MATTHEWS PRAISED Bob Matthews got a demonstration from the chorus as he came up on the platform Sunday morning. It must have pleased him. for he got fussed and had to fiddle with the piano a bit before he went on about his usual tasks. PRAISES INDIANA ROADS Paul Matthews, brother of Bob Matthews, pianist and secretary for the Sunday party, motored to Richmond for Sunday and brought along Mrs. Paul Matthews and his business partner, Neal Ryan. Matthews and Ryan make the R. & M. storage battery. - "Floods can't hurt Indiana roads," said Matthews. "I have driven in eastern and western states, and I think they are the best in the country." USES HYMN BOOK When Bob Matthews has to make a run on the piano that will be loud enough to keep up with the chorus, he takes a hymn book, and does it with that. He gets the volume then. EXPLAINS DIFFERENCE The closed doors and windows made the difference In the number of people who heard Sunday in the afternoon and evening on Sunday. There were at least 300 looking through the doors and windows in the afternoon. TELLS OF TABERNACLE Billy Sunday got interested in telling the audience about the tabernacle at Winona Lake, that he already had said he had spent $25,000 on. "I've cleared it of debt, but to pay for some of the running expenses, and for the Bible school we conduct there in the summer that we used to charge the preachers for, I think that I'll take up a collection from you folks.'" FOR MEN ONLY Next Sunday afternoon is to "Men Only" and the subject is to be "Chick ens Come Home to Roost." HATS COME OFF Only two hats could be seen in the! whole tabernacle after Mr. Rodeheaver had asked that they be removed Sunday afternoon. One was a gorgeous High School Pupils Greet Billy With Loudest Yell; Promises Suits For Team "Aim high and have the grit to get there." That is the lesson that Billy Sun day held out for the high school stu-1 deuts at their special night at the Tabernacle on Saturday. "This is my lesBon," he said, "first find your sphere, and second stick everlastingly to it." The pillars of the tabernacle near the reserved section of the high school had been draped in red and white bunting, and the high school banners and colors had been fastened to the front of the platform. Give Their Yell. When the school delegation, numbering about 475, was introduced to the audience, they broke into a cheer tor Billy, "Yeah, Billy, let's go." they cheered. "I, wish you would teach me some way to get that pep into my crowd," Mr. Sunday responded. Referring to the ball game which he had umpired during the afternoon, he said it was not his fault that Richmond had not" won. "I called everything that got near the plate" he said. , Help Get Uniforms. He then promised after the expenses of the tabernacle had been raised to have a special collection with which to raise $300 for uniforms for the High School team. Before opening his sermon, Sunday paid a tribute to Richmond. "I've been in every state in the United States but Maine," he said, "and I've never seen a cleaner town than Rich mond. "Your streets are clean, your homes are homey, and all that. Now if you'd only get religion, you'd be a whirlwind." '

STOPS HIS SERMON Mr. Sunday had not much more than made his announcement relative to babies being left in the nursery in the Friends church, and commenced his sermon, than one started to cry. He stopped his sermon until the child had been carried out of the building. IMPORTANT MEETING The Business Women's Invitation committee will meet with Mrs. D. W.

Women ought not to have a monopoly on that." RETURNS HOME "I'm going home tonight," said Mr. Sunday, "but I will be back in Richmond in time for the afternon sermon Tuesday.

Doesn't it sound ridiculous to say that there are fashions in eyes'; Strange as it may seem, there are. Wnen I was in London I went out to the historic palace of Hampton Court where in the lovely long panelled gal leries hung the portraits of famous men and women who once walked and flirted and possibly wondered what their fate would be as they passed up and down before the leaded windows.! A group of the Ladies in Waiting at the court of Charles II. hung there. Do you remember how charming Pepys thought them when he spoke of them in his Diary and how pleased he was to be sent to have lunch with them when he went out on business to see the King? There they all hang and no wonder Pepys was pleased to dine with them! They are all very beautiful, but all just as much alike as so many twin sisters. Eyes in those days were supposed to be very large and very vapid. The eye, In fact, was usually as large as the mouth. If it wasn't, the artist made it so. To bring out tho eyes the ladies drew their hair back from their faces and then powdered them white eo the color of the eye was much more noticeable. There was another period when small eyes were fashionable. I think the reigning queen must have had them though I cannot think wlint the Court ladies did to make large eyes look smaller. They certainly couldn't be treated like a large waist! Blue eyes were iasnionaDie m iuc grrat days of Greece. The really beautiful eye then was serious and rather round, with a soft and steady gleam instead - . V 1 1 4VM 1 of the flash and twinkle that early twentieth century novetists have made popular.

STATE INSTITUTIONS ADD 1,000 INMATES DURING PAST YEAR . fBy Associated Pvess) INDIANAPOLIS April 24. An increase of 1,000 inmates in the 20 state charitable and correctional institu tions within a year was interpreted by a, report issued today by the board of state charities as indicating a "return to a pre-war basis in population." There were 12,880 Inmates of the institutions at the close of 1921. The only explanation made for the increase made by the report was that it was "largely due to the change in population of the penal and correctional .institutions, which reached a low point in 1920." The report showed the number of prisoners declined by more than 1,000 or more for 1918, 1919 and 1920, while the average drop was slightly more than 400 for these years at the benevolent and educational Institutions. The close of 1921 saw 800 more prisoners than the year before, while the increase of inmates of other institutions was approximately 250. Despite the increased population of ' the institutions, the board reported decline of approximately 10 per cent in the maintenance cost, which was regarded as largely due to the general drop in commodity prices. On a per capita basis the cost totaled $84.45 for the last three months of the year, a drop of $16.50 over the same period of 1920. when the total cost was $1,184,106, as compared with $1,077,273 for the 1921 quarter. Increase of inmates was shown at all institutions, except the Soldiers' . Home at Lafay ette and the School for Feeble-Mmded Youth at Ft. Wayne, The board's report on the three-j month period, with comparisons to pre vious years, included this table as to the number of inmates: Quarter ending Dec. 31, 1916, benevolent and correctional institutions, 9,020; penal and correctional institutions, 4,227. Quarter ending Dec. 31, 1917, be nevolent and educational institutions, 9,060; penal and correctional institutions, 4,142. Quarter ending Dec. 31, 1918, benevolent and educational institutions, 8,365; penal and correctional Institutions, 3,063.. Quarter ending Dec. 31, 1919, benevolent and educational institutions, 8.770; penal and correctional institutions, 3,023. Quarter ending Dec. 31, 1920. benevolent and educational institutions, 8,745; penal and correctional institutions, 2,984. Quarter ending Dec. 31, 1921. benevolent and educational institutions, 8,999; penal and correctional institutions, 3,757. While the foregoing tabulation on population was based on the average number of inmates for the three months, the board also divided the number at the end of 1921 as follows r Insane, feeble-minded and epileptic, 7,379; soldiers and sailors, and their wives, widows and orphans, 991; the sick, 219; the deaf and blind, 434; and prisoners,1 3,857. "The care of mental defectives is the state's biggest and most serious institutional problem," commented the report. PRICE OF DIAMONDS GOES UP IN MOSCOW (By Associated Press) ODESSA, April 24. The price of diamonds is soaring so rapidly here and In Moscow that German jewelers who spent huge sums buying up collections from the impoverished Russian nobility are now back In Russia selling their wares at double the prices they asked in Germany. The diamond market owes its rise to the scramble of traders and merchants to get rid of their rubles. Never sure of the value paper money will have from day to day, they literally invest bales of soviet currency in precious stones. Good diamonds sell for about $200 a carat and those of inferior quality bring from $20 to $6 a carat. The recent heavy trade in these stones has resulted in many false diamonds being offered on the market. Levantine traders operating from the Black Sea ports are said to be responsible for bringing these imitations to Russia. CHITA TROOPS BLAST SIBERIAN RAILWAY TOKI, April 24. Chita government troops blew up the railway about 35 miles beyond Nikolsk, in the Siberian coast district on April 22, it was announced in a Japanese official statement today.

MARY GARDEN QUITS AS OPERA DIRECTOR; TO STAY AS ARTIST fRy Associated Press) CHICAGO, April 24. Mary Garden, director of the Chicago Grand Opera company, resigned the position in a statement made last night. Her followers drew from it. however, the idea that she would continue with the or ganization as a singer. Though Miss Garden announced nothing definite concerning her steps in the immediate future, it was expected that she would leave for New York today, ostensibly for a conference with her concert manager; Charles Wagner, who is reported to have offered her $250,000 for a tour next season. Later she may go to Europe for a sojourn. Miss Garden's withdrawal from the leadership of this city's opera was quite as dramatic as her entry. She spoke spiritedly of Americanism and American ideals in opera, maintaining that her "flghtin blood" urged her to stay but her reason bade her go. She addressed a statement to Chicago which led opera goers to believe she would remain with the company as an artist. Turmoil Marked Reign Miss Garden's tenure of office was marked with considerable turmoil. It began January 13 last, after Gino Marinuzzi had resigned as artistic director. At the suggestion of Harold F. McCormick the position was offered to Miss Garden. . During the year Miss Garden has been director the organization's losses have been placed at almost $1,000,000, the largest in its history. This, as in the case of previous deficits, was borne by Mr. and Mrs. Harold F. McCormick. The largeEt previous deficit was said to have been $375,000. In explaining this year's deficits Miss Garden said it was due to the fact that Mr. McCormick had told her to make his last year as backer of the campany a gala season. Miss Garden received no salary as director, her only compensation being the fee she received as an artist, which was placed at about $2,500 a performance. Harrison Family Reunion Is Held Sunday Afternoon NEW MADISON, Ohio, April 24.

He took an active part in securing the passage of this bill in the house several weeks ago. "This measure involves no appre ciable additional expense to the gov-; ernment and will be of great benefit to the large majority of pensioners,'

They announce plans for an extensive drive for votes during the remaining period before the balloting May 2. Senator McConaha is making a personal canvass as far as the physical possibilities permit. He is supplementing this effort with frank statements to the voters, through the press of the district, ofJ fering substantial reasons why he should be named to carry the party's banner In the fall campaign. voice in determining appropriations of state money. Senator McConaha' has been active and prominent in business affairs in Wayne county and Richmond for more than forty years. The nature of this Dusiness tne sale or rarming implements has kept him In intimate touch with the farmers and producers of the county and district. More than thirty years ago, he was chairman for a number of years, of the Wayne CounI ty Farmers' Institute, holding a num ber of the largest and most successful farmers' meetings ever held In the county. It was his high standing as a business man that first drew him into politics when he was literally drafted to make the race for the State Senate. The application of the same value to the state and to the Kepu ti llcan party in Wayne county, that there was universal approval of his record and it was not until he definitely took himself out of the senatorial race and entered the lists for Congress, that there was announcement of the candidacy of others for the state assembly this year.

'EDITOR PURCHASES
LAND ON MOUNTAIN TO ESTABLISH PARR (By Associated Press.) LAKE WALES, Fla., April 24 Fourten acres of land at the peak of the hill near here known as Iron Mountain, the highest point in Florida, has been purchased by Edward W. Bok. of Philadelphia, for many years editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, with the intention of establishing on the site a park and bird sanctuary. Mr. Bok, it is said, has told friend? he expects to give W. H. Olmstead. well known landscape architect, now in Europe, carte blanche in laying out and beautifying the property. Iron Mountain, included in the Mountain Lakes corporation, is 324.9 feet high and, acording Lo tao Uid States geological survey, is tne hlgu est point yet measured in Florida. It also is said to be the highest land within sixty miles of the Atlantic ocean or Gulf of Mexico, bewteen Orange Mountain, N. J., and the Rio Grande river. From the top of Iron Mountain can tie seen one of the remnants of the occupation of this section of the state by the Seminole Indians. It is a huge seedling orange tree in Hickory Hammock, in the Peace river valley marsh, the sole survivor of a grove set out by the Seminole on the then almost inaccessible island. Winnipeg, Canada, is one of the greatest grain markets in the world FAVORABLE Washington, and I shall at all times endeavor to ascertain their views and vote accordingly, if I am nominated and elected to be their congressman. I believe in the theory of a protective tariff, but I do not believe in class legislation and I would not attempt to mislead the agricultural interests of this country by pretending to protect their interests only to create a monopoly for those who do not produce, after the latter have bought up the products of the farms. "I do not believe that prosperity will be restored in this country until the government gets definitely out of private business. I mean that this shall apply to the railroads of the country, and every other activity in which congress has manifested a paternal interest. I do not believe there should be a guarantee of income to any class of business, by way of regulation requirements and conditions. I would emancipate the railroads from government control save 6uch as exercised by the Interstate Commerce Commission in preventing unjust discriminations or unfair tariffs. "I believe the federal government has invaded the rights of the states in its multiplicity of agencies having to do with the individuals of this country In their private capacities. I would discourage every sort of fad. commission and board, that have in volved the government in a riotous confusion of extravagance and waste. I stand firmly for the strict enforcement of the Volstead Act, with such enforcement entirely removed from political influence and control. In this particular, I am convinced there is much opportunity for refoTm. "I am 6ure there are many places where the application of common sense and business principles will work to the saving of millions of dollars. I believe I am familiar enough with business practices to apply business methods to the solution of these great and Important matters. The people of this country are entitled to the application of the soundest business judgment in the consideration of their problems today. The principal business of the government at this time should be the payment of its legitimate debts, with the least possible burden to the taxpayers of the country. I know something about making ends meet, in a business way, and I pledge the people of the Sixth District that if nominated and elected to the office of representative In congress. I shall take to Washington- an interest and enthusiasm for service that will be of value to them, to the House and to the country." Advertisement.
