RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

TWINE DISTRIBUTION CAUSES BUSY SCENE AT RAILROAD YARDS Distribution of the carload of co operatively bought twine secured by the Wayne county farm bureau for its members was keeping three men busy Wednesday morning. The car, placed In the Pennsylvania yards, was half cleaned out Tuesday, the Fountain City community sending a truck after the twine to be distributed from that center. Other purchasers, however, were calling at the car, and receiving their allotments from Ed Deitemeyer, Omer Putoff and Charles Hill, who were acting as clerks for the distribution. Entire satisfaction with the goods was expressed by the farmers. Skeptics who had doubted whether the bulk goods would equal the sample, were especially pleased. Orders were filled for about 220 farmers, in amounts ranging from 50 to 400 pounds. Most orders averaged between 100 and 200 pounds. The largest number of Individual orders were filled in Wayne township, with Boston a close second. New Garden's bulk order also took about 6,000 pound3. Abington, Webster and Franklin townships also bought their twine in this way. No orders were solicited in townships with co-operative elevators. ATTENTION CALLED TO TOBACCO LAWS As the iniatory move in a campaign against the use of tobacco, especially cigarettes, by minors, the W. C. T. U. federation of Richmond, issued a statement Wednesday, calling attention to the provisions of the Indiana law relating to the sale of tobacco and cigarettes to minors. The law, the officials point out, makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by a substantial fine, not only to sell tobacco or cigarettes to minors, but also extends the ban to the act of bartering, furnishing, giving or even to procuring for a minor, the forbidden product. Even securing cigarette papers for a minor or giving them to him, is included. Minors also are forbidden to buy, to possess, or to use cigarettes or cigarette papers, or any paper or wrapper containing morphine, nicotine, oil of hemp, or any other injurious substance. It is a misdemeanor also for a minor to misrepresent his age for the purpose of securing cigarettes. "In issuing the statement, the W. C. T. U. announces: "We have in Indiana, most excellent laws prohibiting the use of cigarettes and tobacco by minors. That these laws are not taken seriously in some parts of the state Is very evident. Children under 16 years of age ar often found purchasing tobacco and boys under 21 are often found with cigarettes. The failure to enforce the law is a challenge to officers, parents and school teachers. The time has come to start a crusade for the vindication of the law, and the protection of the child from the greed of commercialism."

B , Famous Lanark in unio, neponea uecaying (By Associated Press) CHILLICOTHE, Ohio. June 7. The "Logan elm," famous landmark near Chillicothe, is in an advanced state of decay. This verdict was rendered recently by tree experts after an examination of the trunk and limbs of the famous tree. They have recommended immediate steps . be taken to prevent one of the main crotches from parting, and that tree surgery be resorted to in order that the gradual spread of decay among the larger limbs be checked.

Sir Auckland Geddes, British Ambassador, feels his recent public reference to the American merchant marine and other matters referred to by Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, Republican, in his tariff speech, yesterday, was described erroneously and has shown to Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes a stenographic copy of his address in Chicago. The ambassador delivered his speech March 12, giving figures to show the extent of the trade of the United States with Great Britain. He suggested that the resumption of this foreign trade and the prosperity that comes from 'it largely are dependent upon the capacity of the British Empire to buy "your goods and to pay for them with dollars In America." This reference to the merchant marine, according to the stenographic report, follows: Another large part of the Britisi purchases in this country was paid for through credits established on account of services rendered by the BritisM mercantile marine, by British insurance companies, by education given in Britain and In other less important ways. There is a great change again as a result of the war now taking place in connection with the rendering ot those services. "You, in your own interests, are building up a great merchant marine. It is, of course, your right to do so: but let us remember that when it comes to the question of the balance of trade between the countries, that means that there will be diminished credits dollar credits for the British to purchase your goods within the country." He spoke without notes or a pre pared address. But the stenographic report was made and published in the "Credit Monthly." Urge Boys to Take Night Hike With Perry Wilson Boys are urged to get in on the all-night hike with Perry Wilson of the Y. M. C. A., which will start Saturday night at 9 o'clock.
