TO Be SHORTAGE
ON SHORT COURSE
A Deficit Estimated at $500
Shown at Close of the
School.

A deficit estimated at about $500
which the residents of Richmond and
vicinity will be called upon to meet
resulted from the Sixth District Farm
ers' Short Course and Corn School
which passed into history at noon to-
day. The expenses of the course are
estimated at little more than $1,000
while the funds received to date total
about 5000.
The receipts resulting from the sale
of membership tickets, both course
and day, are believed to have been APP
proximately $500. AS many of the
committeeman and men with whom
tickets were nlaced for distribution
have not reported the exact figures
cannot be ascertained. This amount
with a guarantee fund of $500, and
sl1o which was subscribed at a meet
ing held in the Coliseum yesterday
comprise the assets to meet the total
expenses.
Where Money Went.
The large part of the expense re-
suited from the extensive advertising

in a short time when definite reports
will be made regarding the receipts
and expenditures, md plans made for
steps to be taken to raise funds to
meet the deficit. 1t is very probable
that letters will be sent to residents of
the city and rural districts asking con
tributions. The committeeman are
confident that the sum will be realiz
ed within short time.
Although the school proved very
disappointing from a financial stand
point and even as viewed from the
standpoint of attendance, those who
as quite a success considering the
valuable instruction furnished the
farmers of the Sixth district and the
interest and appreciation manifested
by those who did attend.
The principal work of the school
ended last evening. The courses in
domestic science and the work in the
horticulture department continued I'M

president STONE
OF PURDUE TALKS
Was Heard by a Small, But
Very Interested Audience
Last Evening.

President w. E. Stone. of Purdue
university, one of the leading educators
OF this country and one who has taken
a prominent part in the movement
for agriculture instruction in schools,
delivered very interesting as well
as instructive lecture on the general
subject of agriculture work, at the high
school auditorium last evening. His
address marked the closing of the
principal work Of the Sixth District
Farmers Short Course and Corn
School The audience in attendance
WAS not large, but cvinced d large
amount of interest, following the
speaker closely throughout his adj
of the school.
Prof NJ w. Richards also spoke,
talking on The Decoration of Home
Grounds His address was very en-
tertaining and embodied many valuable
and practical suggestions. 1t was we'll
received. Both lectures were briet
and the program was carried through

game at the Coliseum. Music was fur
nishcd by male quartet.
Effects on Farmers.
The address of President Stone
dealt mainly with the value Of the corn
schools and other educational pro-
jects of benefit to the farmer. He
told of the effects Of these education
institutions upon the prosperity, social
life and general welfare of the farmer
He declared that they tended in a
large degree to raise the farmer to a
higher level The farmers, he said, re-
ccive more enjoyment out of their oc'
cupatiOn as a result. and the young
people acquire a liking for agricul
ture work keeping them on the farms
to reap the benefit of the labor of their
parents.
In his lecture on the decoration OF
home grounds, illustrated by stereopti
con views. Prof. Richards, divided the
subject into three parts, identifying
the lawn, the house, and the back
ground of trees and shrubbery. He
told how the work should be gone
about and illustrated the results by
slides.
The premises should be thoroughly
cleared up, he said, and all old wa
CONS and other vehicles which make
the average country home look like
junk shop, be removed. AS the next
principal thing he advised the abolish
ment of obnoxious billboards and sign
painting.

A COOPERATIVE
CLUB ORGANIZED
Purpose of Organization Is to
Buy Provisions Out of
This City.

On account of the high cost of liv-
and railroad employees Thursday even

i've Consumers club at meeting in
Luken's hall, near Seventh and Main
streets, and hereafter the club will
purchase staple groceries and meats
from commission houses in the larger
cities, including Chicago, Cincinnati
and Indianapolis. Those affiliated
with the organization believe they
will be able to save considerable of
their wages by purchasing commodit-
les in bulk and in larger cities.

fected, officers being elected and in

In addition to these individual votes
there were thirteen civic societies re-
turned official letters through their
secretaries, which in every instance
stated that the vote was unanimous in
their respective organizations for Sun
day closing.
This report as compared with other
cities who have already closed, such
as Detroit, Grand Rapids, LoganspOrt,
GAINESVILLE and New Castle, shows a
much stronger sentiment in favor of
closing, and the post office employees
feel very grateful for the generous re-
sponse the citizens made to their ap-
peal. They now fully expect favorable
action by the Department.

INDIANA A WINNER
IN SCRAPPY GAME
Defeat Earlham at Coliseum
Last Evening in an Ex-
citing Contest.

In one OF the fastest games ever wit
messed on u local floor the Earlham
basketball team went down in defeat
before the strong Indiana quintet by a
close score OF 81 to 10. From the first
toss OF the ball 10 the final blow OF the
whistle the results OF the contest were
uncertain. The Quaker lads started in
a whirlwind fashion and scored three
points before the visitors could get
their bearing. Then Indiana got busy
and by fast passing and accurate shoot
ing dropped the ball twice into the
basket. putting them in the lead. Each
team added two points and the first
half ended 6 to ) in favor of the visi-
tors.
With the beginning of the second
half the Quakers weakened little in
their defense. This enabled Graves,
the husky pivot man for the visitors,
to add five field goals to their num-
Der. About the middle of the second
half Rowe, a local star. relieved Berry
at forward. BY fast offensive playing
and a good eye he brought up the
Quaker figures six points. During the
second half the visitors made 16 points
TO Earham's 10.
The game was one of the best cX-
hibitions Of basketball ever witnessed
in Richmond. Both teams were de.
termined to win which made it exceed
ingly fast and scrappy.
Reagan. the spirited Quaker captain,
received two injuries during the game,
but as Is his custom he came back
stronger than ever. While he did not
show his usual strength at goal get
ting his floor work was fine The same
can be said of Conrad and FtIrnas. For
the visitors Graves, the center showed
much class, especially at goal getting.
Barnhart, the much heralded forward,
did not show so much form. due large.
ly to the strong defense of the Quaker
guards.
The ability to hold Indiana to such a
close score puts Earlham high in bas-
ketbai circles in the state as the state
team held Purdue to score of 81 to 333
