Chairman c. H. Igelman said that
he had seen quite few of the floats
and that they are something new in
the way of display.

TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Home Corners Letters Encourage
Members of Committee.

Members of Committee.
Thousands of former residents of
the city have written the Home Com
ing committee of their intentions to
return for the Fall Festival The de-
sire to visit the city and renew old &C
quaintances is so strong in the hearts
of many that they will make unusual
sacrifices to come.
One man wrote that he would love
to come and bring his family, but
could not because the children had to
have food and clothing. Others have
written letters telling of sacrifices that
must be made to revisit the city. The
sentiment expressed by all Is that
Richmond is still home" to them, no
matter where they are or how long
they have been away
With such expressions of love for
the city pouring in. in every mail to
members of the Home Coming COM
mittee Fred White and Charles Jor-
dan feel that they can not overesti-
mate the number of visitors.
Sightseeing In Autos.
On the afternoon of the first day of
the Festival automobiles will be pro-
'vided to take the visitors about the
city to show the growth that has been
made during the last five years. The
starting points for these sightseeing
trips will be announced later. The
route will include Earlham College,
Glen Miller Park, Easthaven. Reid Me-
mortal Hospital, West Richmond and
South Richmond
The original plan of having a big
homecoming gathering at the Coli
scum on the first night has been aban-
doned. The committee felt that there
were already enough forms of amuse-
ment, and that the former residents
would rather visit their friends than
be crowded into the coliseum to listen
% a program of some kind.

dry work is not drudgery but an art is

laundry will be exhibited. In the room
just off the High School gymnasium
a complete laundry will be installed

equipment and to suggest means of

fit will be a hand machine, wringers
and irons, so arranged as to secure
the maximum efficiency for the mini

wanting in experience. This is
noticeable in the paragraphing,
and more or less in punctuation.
1t is this noticeable improve
ment that prompts the Herald tc
offer few suggestions that we
believe will be a help to our cor
respondents in a general way,
and at the same time make il
much easier for the printers.
1st. Don't use the character
"&" except in the case of a
firm, company, Or persons asso-
ciated together as partners in
business.
End. Don't abhreviate the
days of the week.
3rd. Whet, speaking of a
month, as "this is December"
spell it in full; but when used in a
date. as "Dec. l, 19l3," abbre
viate. al
4th. When speaking of a
state. as I'VE live in Colorado" :"
spell it in full; but when used in
an address,, aS Wills, Colo. !"
abbreviate,
5th. Don't abbreviate "coun
ty"-spell it III full.
9th. It is customary with
newspapers tolomit Mr." when
the first name br the initials are
known and used, Instance, 81.
Neil sold his csrn to Mr.. Lee. :"

John Tannersand wife,
sth. Paragraph each personal
item, and drop back half an
inch or an inch in the first line
Of each paragraph. Notice this
in all printed natter.
9th. Punctuation is matter
of long. and essainuous- practice.
Certain ones are by absolute
rule; but they and others become
natural in use by study and
practice. Our eighth-grade cor
respondents wanting to improve
in this respect should watch and
study all printed matter, and
then persistently practice what
they find out.
10th. Eve" is the evening
preceding holidays. Even
ing" is ordinarily the time
from sun down to dark. Elk,
ception, visitors spend the
evening"" to distinguish it from
staying over night; but all meet
ings are at night"
11th. If your correspondence
is abbreviated, it is because thA
is necessary in order to get the
correspondence all in the paper.
18th, Find something to say
about every body, and of course
say pleasant things. In this con
nection the Herald is proud to an.
nounce that not in single case
has one of its correspondents vi
olated the good rule of saying
only pleasant things about their
neighbors.
18th. Don't miss a week, il
possible. as your neighbors are
looking for that home letter, and
will be greatly disappointed if il
isn't there.
18th. Would be pleased tc
have those on the Monday mai
line to mail on that day. If none
of the letters reached US til
Tuesdays mail, we would have
so much other matter set up thai
some or much of the correspond
ence would be crowded out.
18th. If you use only one
sheet, it's alright to write or
both sides, but say lover" at the
bottom of the page,
10Th. The Herald believes it 4
good idea for your neighbors tc
know who is sending in the news,
as they then can and will hell
you to items that you would not
otherwise get.
