Seymour Schools.

Richmond artists who exhibited pic
lures at the first annual exhibit of
the Art Association of Seymour, Ind,
which was recently held at the Shields
high school have had their pictures
returned as the exhibit closed in June.
Professor T. A. Mott, former superin-
tendent of the public schools in this
city, was instrumental in having the
exhibit held and was named one of
the vice-presidents at the meeting of
the association. Richmond artists
were honored by having their col
lection catalogued under a special
head, Pictures From the Richmond
Art Association"
Frank J. Girardin, a well-known
artist of this city, was especially
honored when his "Hues of Winter" !"
was made into a half tone and used
in illustrating the catalog. Mrs. Maud
Kaufman-Eggemeyer had one picture,
entitled Summer" which attracted
considerable attention. Frank j.
Girardin had ten pictures as follows:
pool In Winter" which was exhibit
ed at the Richmond Art Association; !;

GIRLS SEW DRESSES
IN SUMMER SCHOOL

Girls at the Whitewater social cen
ter passed through one of the greatest
moments of their lives recently, when
they stood before their mirrors and
saw themselves clad in new calico
dresses which were the work of their
own hands.
These results were not accomplish
ed without many sore finger tips
where needles went astray, but the
pride of achievement was for every
member of Miss Jeanette Won PENIS
class in sewing. Miss Won Pein has
given her services three afternoons
each week to the class, which has
been working in calico. Each men,
ber of the class gave ten cents to-
ward the cost of material, the rest of
the expense being borne by the directA
ors of the social center
Each girl cut her own dress and did
all the sewing on it under Miss Won
PENIS supervision.

MAIL WORK EASY "
DURING SUMMER
Forwarding of Letters Gives
Respite to Carriers in Resi-
dence Sections.

During July and August more mail
is forwarded from the post office than
at any other time of the year.
This is because many Richmond cit
liens spend their vacations at north
ern summer resorts or visit relatives.
Forwarding mail makes little extra
work for the postal employees and
lightenS the amount of matter which
the carriers distribute. Especially is
this true in district No. IA which
E. S. Mote is the carrier.
Mr.. Mote serves the citizens on and
near East Main street, many of whom
pass large part of each summer at
their northern cottages. He has the
longest list of forwarding addresses of
any carrier.
Hold Back Magazines.
When temporary forwarding ad-
dresses are left, the carrier keeps a
list of them and forwards the letters
as they come to his section for distri-
button. Where the citizen makes a
permanent change of address, the for
warding clerk handles the case.
Because it takes extra postage to
forward second class matter, this is
generally held at the office until the
residents return. With the vacation
season only about half over, the post
office has accumulated quite pile of
magazines, circulars and newspapers,
which will not be distributed until the
persons to whom they are addressed
return.

WEST SIDE PARK
PROJECT GOES TO
PROBE COMMITTEE
More Pressing improvements
and Prospect of Bond Issue
Deter Council From Ap-
proving Purchase.

Whether that strip of ground be-
tween West First street and the river,
just south of Doran bridge, which in
cludes West Richmond's dump, is to
be purchased by the city for park pur-
poses will not be decided until this
question has become a most lively
ISSUE
There is no doubt that a large ma
jority of West Richmond people, their
patience exhausted by the long endur-
ing dump" nuisance, favor having the
city purchase the property as a park
site. But the project also finds strong
opposition among a large number of
citizens, for the most part living east
of the river, and among a number of
city officials.
The question as to whether this
property should be purchased by the
city was brought squarely to issue at
the council meeting last night, and for
a time it seemed that council intended
passing resolution placing that body
on record in favor of the purchase. On
the advice of Mayor Robbins, however
council finally passed the amended
resolution which merely provides for
an investigation of the question by
three members of council, who are to
make their report to council and the
board of public works.
Advises Investigation.
Mayor Robbins after the original
resolution had been presented by
Councilman Waidele of the Seventh
ward expressed the hope that council
would not come out flat-footed for the
project until it had fully investigated
the questions involved. He called at
tention to the fact that council did not

FEDERALS CAPTURE
CITY OF GUAYMAS

MAZATLAN, Mex, July 21.-Al-
though the occupation of Guaymas by
the Constitutionalists proceeded peace
fully it is reported here that there is
a possibility of the Federals who
evacuated La Paz marching on Quay
mas and giving battle.
Five Federal soldiers suspected of
sniping are under arrest in Guaymas.
The residents of LapaZ assert that the
Constitutionalists forced the battle on
them. The Federal civil and military
authorities aware of Huerta's resigna-
ton. were willing to surrender and so
notified the approaching Constitution
alists. They despite this opened fire
and forced the battle.

gressiOnal Constituents.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-With the
statement that he would appeal to his
constituents for vindication, Congress
man James T. McDermott, an Illinois
Democrat, mentioned in the famous
Mulhall charges, today rendered his
resignation as member of the house
of representatives.
Mr.. McDermott said his appeal to
his constituents would be on the re-
port of the judiciary committee which
recommended the censure of McDer.
mott for his connection with the lobby
of the National Association of Manu-.
facturers and the pawn-brokers and
liquor interests in Washington.
With much emotion and nervous
ness, McDermott read his statement
to the house.
Il am conscious of no wrong-doing
in leaving this house." he said. "The
only thing l have done is to borrow
money from my friends. l am a poor
man. l came here poor man and
have been compelled to borrow money
from my friends because could not
get it at the bank. 1t so happened that
these men became interested after
wards in legislation in the house, but
the report of the committee says there
is no evidence to show that my atti
tude on this legislation had been in
fluenced by them"

NEW PARIS, O., July 21.-
When 5000 bushels Of wheat
were received at tho elevator Of
George w. Richards and Son yes
terday, a record was established.
Scarcity Of grain sacks compelled
nine threshing machines operat-
ing hereabouts to suspend opera
ton for a time Monday afternoon.
Twenty-seven wagon loads Of
wheat stood in line here, blocking
traffic for an hour, while the ele-
vator was trying to measure and
handle the wheat. Dampness OF

Of the wheat. The elevator force

o'clock this morning to handle the
grain which could not be received
yesterday.
