I Timothy Nicholson, former clerk of
the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends
and a member of the board OF trustees
of Earlham college is irretrievab1y op-
posed to the. further growth in the
number of students of the losal insti-
tuition. In a statement made today.
lauding the work and reputation of
Earlham, he expressed the belief OF
many prominent educators of the
United States viz: that the students
of the smaller colleges achieve great
er. more substantial success in their
studies because of the more individ-
ua1 and personal instructions
increase Not Necessary
1T is necessary" declared Mr. Mich
olson. that the students know the per-
sonality of their teachers. Earlham
college has an enrolment of between
five and six hundred students. No
other college in the state draws as
large a per cent of students from the
community in which it stands as Earl
ham. One-third of Eariham college
students live in Wayne county. 1t is

A CITY OF BEAUTY
Richmond Will Be During
the Festival.

Richmond will be decorated more
beautiful than it has ever been, Octo-
Der l, 2 and 3, if the plans of the dec
Grafton committee of the Fall Festi-
val mature. Though only $500 was
awarded this committee to decorate
the city, it is probable that this sum
will be increased, as the decorations
are considered one of the most i'm
portant features of the event
George Fern, of Cincinnati, probably
the best known decorator in the Uni
ted States, will be secured to beau
tify the city for the event. Fern did
the decoration work at the last festi-
val. 1t is planned by the local COM
mittee to bring here many of the dec
orations which were used at Denver
during the recent national convention
of knights Templars. 1t is believed
that they can be obtained at a nomi-
nal cost as they will have to be
brought to Cincinnati soon and can
easily be used here for the festival.
The waterproof Japanese lanterns
are also being considered. With this
plan electric flowers are placed in the
trees. The decorations at Denver
were the most brilliant electrical dis
plays ever seen in this country.

OF EXHIBITS
ARE NOW COMPLETED
$4,000 Feet of Display Space
For the Industrial
Exhibition.

Seventy five thousand square feet OF
display space will be under canvas to
house a portion of the exhibits that
will be brought to Richmond during
Fall Festival week. The two huge tents
that will be used to cover the indus
trial exhibition will alone cover one
third of this space. These tents will
be erected on North A street between
Ninth and Eleventh, it is thought.
c. w. Jordan has made a map of
tentative locations for the various ex-
hibits, which will be submitted to the
committee on arrangements for appro-
val, some time next week. On this map
the exhibits have been located as fol-
lows:
Vegetable tent-A street, between
Seventh and Eighth.

Carnival Attractions-North A, be-

Domestic Science-High school bull

The Fall Festival Boosters commit
tee will meet next week to make ar
rangements for it's automobile excur-
sions through surrounding towns ad-
vertising the event. The trips will
probably be made about ten days be-
fore the opening of the Fall Festival
on October 1. The boosting excursions
will require two days to cover the ter
ritory unless it is later decided to di-
vide the procession of automobiles and
complete the entire work in one day.

The work of the Y. NJ c. A. Bible
classes will start as early in October
as possible, according to Boys Secre-
tary Pettijohn. The banquet will be
held October 10, at which time the

students for successfully passing the
examinations sent here by the ma

Many new features of the work will
be developed outside of the class work
to appeal to the Bible study classes.

This statement was made by Julius

HuERTA BACKING DOWN.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2s.-In his
latest note to the American govern
ment General Huerta withdraws his
demand for an immediate exchange of
ambassadors between the two coun-
tries which would involve recognition.
and requests that the present person
mel of the United States embassy in
Mexico City be continued unchanged
until after the October election.
General Huerta points out that a
provisional president OF Mexico is de-
barred by the Mexican constitution
from succeeding himself. Therefore the
request made in the American note that
he not be candidate. was made with
out knowledge of the Mexican consti-
tuition, Huerta says.
Huerta failed to refer to the fact
that he can resign the presidency be-
tween now and October and thus made
himself eligible as a candidate.
Suspicious of Trap.
State department officials suspect
that Huerta is devfsing a clever trap
by which the United States would rec
ognize the present de facto admins
tration of Mexico by assuming that
he was constitutionally the provision
al president of Mexico.
The radical press has attacked Pres
ident Wilson's message. because. they
declare, it did not guarantee any per-
manent attitude of the United States
toward Mexico.
On the contrary, the conservatives
were highly pleased and predicted
that negotiations viii be re-estabIish-
ed by the door opened By President
Wilson.
There was heavy exchange of dip
lomatic dispatches between Washing
ton and this city today. Mr.. O'Shaun-
essy was in communication with Mr..
Lind. O'Shaunessy said that condi.
tions were shaping themselves very
well and that the outlook Is better.

to slave over a wash-board doing me-

that she and her four children could

 In making the application, W. NJ. K. Olcott, who was brought into .he case a week ago. said that Drs. Men as Granory and Smith Ely Jeliffe. two of the best known experts in the country, had examined Schmidt and found him to be insane. olcott did not say how or ny whom the alienis.s had been retained.

PROFESSOR SMITH Is
 ON INSPECTION TOUR

TUCSON, Nov. 2o.-Professor c. E. r. Smith, irrigation engineer of the
 University of Arizona. is on a tour of investigation through the agricultural valleys of the southern part of the state Professor Smith is the origi. nator of the concrete caisson well and has sunk five of them in the Sul. phur Spring valley. Each of these wells, he states. Is equipped with centrifugal pumps and have been used for irrigating the adjacent land during the present season. Each well has a good water supply and is worth from two to ten times what it has cost the owners. The only un. favorable showing has been that made by the project owned by a syndicate of Douglas men, and that project will come out all right when the land is sold to some ore who will give it the necessary personal attention which irrigated agriculture requires always and everywhere.
 That the influence of the wells sunk by the university is spreading is shown by the fact that three more concrete wells have recently been put down near Elfoida and White water and still another Is about to be started. In general, however, the growth of agriculture has beer slow ar in tle valley rorrh nF Douolae than in the other localities, such as those tributary to Wilcox and Casa Grande. A deterrent factor in this vicinity is the belief that irrigation is not necessary. Many people stin cling to this idea, but the history of the past five years show that is only an exceptionally wet year that crops can be grown at 8 profit on rainfall alone.
