the Terre Haute. Indianapolis and
Eastern Traction company occupying
part of the National road from the
corporate limits to the township boun-

up work on the improvement for four
weeks. still remains in the same shape

Representatives Of the central Of
fices of the traction company confer

sioners and their attorneys on Mon
day. Through G. X. Jeffries. general
superintendent of the road, 1t was
learned that on a visit to the traction
company officials at Indianapolis last
week. Chairman Beeson. representing
the board. suggested the proposition
of the company occupying six feet OF
the improved section of the highway,
which is two feet less than the COM
pany asked, The company is willing
to accept this proposition.
But whether the board will agree
with Chairman Beeson's proposition is
different Barney Linderman, one OF
the commissioners, said, Il am not for
giving the traction company any OF
the highway at ALL Homer Farlow.
the younger member of the board from
point of service. said. I'm anxious to
settle the question, but the PROPOSE
ton docs not look good to the taxpay-

Pitcher Of the Bar Association Team
Local newspapers are today in re-
ceipt of an extremely impudent chal'
lenge from the Wayne County Bar
association 0awyers-not bartenders)
to a game of the national pastime
This letter resembles, as the public
may read, one of the "late" James J..
Jeffries' literary efforts prior to his
run-in with that well known exponent
of the boxing game, Atha' Johnsing.
1t is needless to say that the press
receives this challenge with open arms
although there is a sturdy minority Of
newspaper men who believe the attor-
neys should first demonstrate their
class by playing a series of games
with the Old Ladies Home team.
II Is understood that the lawyers
when they meet the speedy newspaper
team will present their kid" battery,
Johnson. pitcher, and Study, catcher.
The Bar associations challenge
follows:
We, the undersigned representatives
Of the Wayne County bar being of
sound and disposing mind and body.
without any mental reservation what
soever, and malice only toward the
newspaper men of Richmond, do here
by challenge. defy and dare the news
paper men of Richmond. or any set Of
them, not exceeding eighteen in num-
her. to one game or a series of games
Of baseball said game. or games of ball
to be played on or after such time as
the Bar association of Wayne county
consider said representatives of the
Richmond newspapers to be capable
and competent enough to make re-
spectacle showing and to withstand
three hours of torture and humilia-
ton. And the said representatives of
the Wayne County Bar aforesaid, with
full knowledge. and having keen ap.
probation Of their duty to the public
in regard to said baseball game or
games. do hereby promise and pledge
themselves to render such an igno
minious defeat to said representatives
of Richmond newspapers. that the
said pubic need no longer fear Of
being annoyed and harrassed by such
pests. The proceeds and contributions
from said game will be used as fund
in trust, to maintain and further the
cause of the suffragettes Of Wayne
county.

SPOKANE To HAVE
AN EGG CONGRESS
Begins Next Fall, Open to All
Corners and Continues
for a Year.
(American News Service)

Spokane, Wash, May 22.-Problems
of continent-wide interest are to be
solved at the first American Egg-iay-
ing congress in Spokane, beginning
next November and continuing IL
months. 1t is free and open to the
world. Plans are to have at least two
entries of six chickens each from every
state and territory in the Union and
province in Canada. Among other
things this information is sought:
Will 800 chickens support an aver
age family?
What breeds are best for CONNER
cial eggs?
What is the actual cost of produc-
ing eggs?
What are the prime requisites for
successful egg-culture?
What state, province or territory
produces the best layers?
John c. Lee, a former newspaper
man, now a poultry rancher at Hill
yard, Washington, who originated the
congress idea, has submitted tentative
plans to A. c. Ware. chairman of the
poultry and game committee of the
Spokane chamber of commerce, for
formal discussion and action at the
next monthly meeting of that body
early in June.
This is not to be competitive ex-
position for fancy breeds or feathers
nor a money-making scheme" Mr.. Lee
said, but an educational affair in the
best sense of the term. There will be
no medals or cash prizes. though d.
plomas and ribbons may be awarded
for the best producers. Primarily, we
are seeking accurate information
which is not now available through
the regular channels.
Present plans are to set aside a
tract of land near Spokane and erect
the necessary buildings for the care OF
the fowls. Experts will be placed in
charge and a record kept of every
pen, the money returns going to the
owners. We believe We can accomp-
lish good results here. as we have an
even climate and none of the diseases
common to the chicken family, such as
cholera and gapes.'

II is quite natural that Lincoln me-

wholesome. But, while We respect them.
We sincerely hope that the authors OF
some of them do not wish to be taken
seriously. for they are wanting in good
taste and sound Judgment.
The fine arts commission. composed of
eminent men we'll qualified to perform
their duty. has executed its trust in
praiseworthy manner by recommending
Potomac Park for the site of a memorial

which will give the proper setting and

Imagination TO embody the highest and
purest conception of true art. That is
what we demand-a work of art which
the American people will bow to with
kneeling soul. and which the world will
stand in awe Of. The subject matter lends
itself admirably TO such treatment. A
man of humble beginning, transfgure ed
