EXPLAINS METHOD
OF STAMP SELLING

There seems to be considerable
misunderstanding regarding the meth
Cd of distribution Of Red Cross Christ
mas seals in Richmond. according to
Dr. S. Edgar Bond, of the Wayne Coun-
ty Anti-Tuberculosis society.
Seals have been placed on sale in
a large number of down town stores.
The money derived will go directly to
the society.
Arrangements have been made.
whereby the selling campaign will be
under the charge of the Domestic Sci
ence association. This organization
will be assisted by large number of
womens clubs of the city. A house to
house canvas will be made.
The money thus derived will be di-
vided equally between the Anti Tu-
berculosis society and the organiza-
ton selling the seals. Half of the mo-
ney obtained by the society will be re-
tanned in this county and the other
half divided equally between the state
end national organizations. The Anti
tuberculosis society will have full
charge of all sales made in the county
outside Of Richmond.

According to officials of the Lake

TWAS WORK OF FATE

A romance of the spring floods OF
1913 calling up visions OF hillocks OF
cold baked beans and whole mountains
IF stale bread with water to be had
or every purpose except drinking was
brought to light yesterday at the I'M
on station when DR.. Charles Pavey of
Albany, New York, and Miss Louise
Fielding of st. Louis met there and
eft a short time later to seek IL
;ense to wed in COvington, KY.
DR.. Pavey is lieutenant in the New
York national guard. When the first
Wild reports of flooded Ohio cities
reached the east, he rushed at once to
New York City and caught the Pat
terson relief special which left for
Dayton within a few hours after the
news of the catastrophe was receiv-
ed.
Miss Fielding was visiting a sister
N Youngstown at the time the waters
Of the Miami left their banks and
submerged the city. She was a trained
nurse and identified with the Red
Cross service. Hardening to the call
of her profession, she Immediately
started for the scene of the inundation.
Travelling by steam, automobile and
ior the last few hours of the journey
in a farmers wagon she reached the
city before the waters had scarcely
started to recede She was placed in
charge of the temporary hospital
which was placed at the LongfelloW
school house where a relief station had
been established.
Fate jerked the strings blindly in
her usual able manner, the lieutenant
was run down by an automobile and
taken past half a dozen temporary
morgues and hospitals to the Longfel-
low school house where he met Miss
Fielding and Cupid took charge.
When military law was lifted the
lieutenant returned to his home. Miss
Fielding left few days later for st.
Louis. Before they separated arrange
ments were made to carry on a cor
respondence.
The affair took the usual course laid
down by Laura Jean Libby and other
authorities on what shall happen
when injured army officers are cared
for by Red Cross nurses.
The couple arranged to be married
in Dayton by an Episcopalian minis
ter, who became acquainted with them
at the relief station. Owing to a
change in schedule of trains, the pros
pective bridegroom got in town ahead
of time, while the bride was delayed
several hours. The minister was COM
polled to leave the city before she ar
rived
The lieutenant at once wired her
that they would meet in Richmond in
stead and be married here. On his
way over loquacious travelling man,
who never suspected the cause of his
acquaintance questionings, informed
the prospective bridegroom that non
residents can not be married in Indi-
ana. He also told him that objections
of this nature matter not in Ken
lucky.
So the couple stopped over half an
hour in Richmond, told their story to
an inquisitive newspaper man and

that 81 per cent of the foreign whie

These eight tongues make up So per
