Spirit of Optimism as to City's
Future Sounded at Banquet
Of Young Mems Business
Club.
FALL FESTIVAL SHOWN TO
HAVE WORKED WONDERS
Great Amount of Trade Has
Been Attracted and the
City Otherwise Benefited,
It Is Shown.

Now whenever you want TO go out
in the country and climb a tree that
has been struck by lightning, come to
nv place. was one of the terse re-
marks of Stephen Kuth at the banquet
to the Young Mems Business club and
fall festival associates at the Masonic
Temple last evening. About 800 men
were guests of the clubs president,
Rudolph G. Leeds. Mr.. kuth referred
to himself as the tree that had been
struck by the lightning Of the recent
fall festival. He said that since the
second week of October he and neigh
boring farmers do not say they reside
ten miles west of Eaton, Ohio, but
now claim to live in suburb five
miles east of Richmond. Indiana.
The banquet and smoker was the
most successful event of the kind that
has been held in this city for num-
ber of years. There was the prevail
ence of contagious joy that was to be
felt during the three hours the guests
were at the banquet boards. There
none could be found although the
toastmaster instituted a search that
extended from the kitchen to the base
ment. Richmond was painted as the
queen of all cities of this section of
the country. Men expressed pride in
the fact they are called citizens and
the sentiment was preeminent that
nothing is too good for Richmond and
that she now is entering upon a period
of regeneration.
The banquet hall had been decorat-
ed in an artistic manner. Fall festival
streamers of yellow and white were
suspended from the huge chandelier
to all corners of the room American
flags were draped at the windows.
The orchestra was concealed in a
bower formed by potted palms, fes-
tival streamers and the national bunt-
ing. The center of the bower was adj
orned by a festival poster. The tables
were beautified by bouquets and table
pieces of cut flowers of many variet-
ies Half pumpkins were converted
into resceptacles for fruit and into
them were heaped oranges. bananas,
menu was abundant and satisfying.
1t was while the Havana laden air
was filled with remarks of satisfaction
at the npast just partaken of, that P.
J. Freeman. vice president of the
club, and chairman of the occasion,
