NEW KIND OF MOTHER is
WHAT THIS NATION NEEDS
Mrs. Virginia Meredith, Wayne County's Grand Old
Woman" Makes an Interesting Plea at the Wayne
County Teachers Institute at the Session Held This
Morning.

A change that in no way detracted
from the value and interest of the
mornings program was made today
when Mrs. Virginia G. Meredith, of
Cambridge City, appeared at the
County Teachers Institute to take the
hour made vacant by the absence of
Deputy State Superintendent John l..
Hoffman. The subject of her address
was Home Economics"
This is an age of changes" she
said. 1--WE want a new kind of preach
er In the pulpit, a new kind of judge
on the bench, we want a new kind of
teacher in the school, but most of all
we want a new kind of mother in the
home. The home deserves at its head
a woman who is broad-minded and
well educated.
Home Training Needed.
1T is important to consider the
training of those for the home, for
out of the homes come the men and
women who do the work of the world,

PAID HIGH HONOR
To Lead in Day of Prayer for
Free Schools at N. r. A.
Meeting.

The Rev. S. r. Lyons, Of the Reid
Memorial Presbyterian church, has
been named by the National Reform
association, of Pittsburg, to lead the
day of prayer for the free schools of
the country on September IA.
The idea originated with the Ma
ional Reform association. and the
members hope to interest clergymen
teachers and sociologists throughout
the country. The request which the
association makes is that they preach
sermons on educational topics, urge
the teaching of the Bible in all schools
and make a prayer for the upbuilding
of the free school system everywhere
For a number of years it has been
the custom of the various denomina-
tions to set aside one Sunday each
year to be devoted to prayers for the
denominational schools. This, how
ever, is the first effort to make the
day of prayer include all denomina-
tions and all schools.

NOSE OF HIS
MOTHER-IN-LAW IN FIGHT
Family Feud Between Platts and Mtchells Witnessed by
Throng and Almost Started Riot-Young Platt Hits
His Mother-Knfe and Hatpin Some of the Weapons
That Were Used.

A family battle, a sequel of numer-
Gus fights and police cases, and al
legged to be the result of wife's in
fidelity, was enacted at Sixth and
Main streets, Saturday night, at
O'Clock. The principals in the case
Harvey Platt, his wife, Pearl Platt,
and her mother, Mrs. Charlotte Mitch
ell, wife of AdoIphus w. Mitchell, 500
North Tenth street, were summoned
to appear before court this morning
Charges of assault and battery were
placed against Platt by his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Mitchell, whose nose was
dislocated in the fight. AS Mrs. Platt
left the city Immediately after the
case could not be taken up this morn
ing and was set for September 2.
The trouble Saturday night was the
outbreak of a smoldering feud which
Platt has had with his wife and her
relations for several years. Both the
Mitchells and the Platts have been
having been prosecuted in Indianapo-
lis year ago for beating Eugene Vim
cent, with whom he alleges his wife is
living.
Son Hits His Mother.
Platt and his thirteen-year-o]d son,
Orville, were walking together on
North E street, when they met Mrs.
Platt, her parents and two of her
brothers, Herman and Thurman Mitch
ell. Platt alleges that his wife pushed
his son from the sidewalk into the gut
ter 1t is said that he then seized her
while Orville struck his mother in the
face with his fist. The interference of
the police put stop to the affair tenn
porarily and both groups went to po-
lice headquarters. where Chief Cor
mon tried to smooth out the matter.
Exactly how the fight started at
Sixth and Main streets after the dis
putants left police headquarters, the
officers do not know, as there are
many versions of the story. There
were seven participants to the fight
and a crowd of more than 1000 spec
tators filled the street to witness it,
those nearest the scene of trouble
taking sides and almost starting a
riot.

While Platt was being held by his
wife's two brothers, her father, Adol-
phus Mitchell, beat him over the head
with his fist. He knocked one of his
assailants from him, striking his
mother-in-law in the face and dislo-
eating her nose. .
Mrs. Mitchell, the mother-in-law
then took a hat pin, and throwing her
hat into store, attacked Platt while
others held him. Before she could
stick him, John Underhill took the hat
pin away from her She then drew a
knife which was also taken from her
by Underhill.
Cops Arrive in Time.
Six patrolmen then appeared and
seized the fighters WHO continued to
curse and threaten each other. Mrs.
Mitchell, who was covered with blood
from her nose, was taken into drug
store, where she had to be held while
her wound was being cleansed. Mrs.
Platt escaped, going at once to Indian
apolis.

davits made against Platt for assault
and battery on her and her daughter
Mrs Platt. Paltt was arrested yes
terday by Patrol Driver Nocton.
Through his attorney, Henry U.
Johnson, Platt entered plea of not
guilty to both affidavits. He alleges
that his wife fed to Indianapolis to
escape testifylng in the case, fearing
arrest herself For several years she
has made that city her home, having
left here with Eugene Vincent. Her
husband says he tried to prosecute
her for living with Vincent but cannot
do so as the two who are both mar
ried and have never secured divorces,
are staying in adjoining rooms in a
boarding house, which is not physi-
cal violation of any law.

MARKLEY PREPARES
LIST OF VETERANS
Wants to Know Who is to At
tend National Encamp-
ment Next Month.

Adjutant John Markley, of Sol Mere
lith Post, has requested the members
of the local post to report to him If
they are planning to attend the annual
National Encampment. to be held at
Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 1920. APP
proximately fifty veterans from Rich
mond will attend. Twelve veterans
from Center township have signified
their intentions of attending The To-
cal post will be well represented ac-
cording to the reports of the officers.
The average age of enlistment dur
ing the civil war having been twenty
five and the war having continued
through four years, most of the veter-
ans are now approximately eighty
years of age.
This indicates that for every veter-
an who is able to make the trip to the
forty-seventh national encampment
there will be at least twenty-five who
can be present in spirit only, accord
ing to the estimates of those in
charge.
Out of consideration of the tens of
thousands who cannot be present, the
program committee of the Chattanoo-
ga G. A. R. encampment association,
has arranged for advance publication
of the edition de luxe of the official
program. 1t contains photographs of
the eommander-in-chief, past comman-
ders, officers of the many organiza-
tions allied with the G.. A. R. depart
ment commanders, famous generals of
the war, scenes on the battlefields and
variety of other items of great histor-
ical interest
