AWFUL HARD TIME

Cupid has spring fever or at

to start to worry. Whether he is
saving his victims until later or
has failed to make many catches
this month, cannot be told until
later, but since the last day of
April. he has succeeded only in
making twentyfour hearts beat as
twelve.
Last May was an average month
and thirty licenses were issued
from the first to the twenty
eighth In a similar length Of
time this May, but twelve couples
have secured licenses Of the coun-

MANY DROP DEAD
AS CITIES S|zzLE
IN TERRIFIC HEAT
Besides Causing M an y
Deaths Unusual Warmth
Bakes Seeds in Soil and
Causes Farmers Worry.

Unless rain comes soon, seeds will
dry in the baked farm land and buds
will wither away on fruits and berries.
Farmers are worried over the crop
prospects. Wheat, corn and other
crops are endangered from the swell
tering drought which has been pre-
vailing not only over Wayne county
but over the entire country.
Young clover and corn are the crops
suffering the most from the heat and
absence of moisture. The ground is
SO heavily crusted that the shoots
cannot break through and those which
are just showing above the surface
cannot make progress.
Many farmers are taking light roll
ers and rolling their corn fields. This
breaks the crust enough to permit the
plants to come up at the same time,
will not damage them.
There is usually a drought at this
time of each year and many of the
older farmers believe it will do no
great damage to the crops as they
say that at this time of the year, rain
cannot be long forthcoming.
Although no heat prOstrationS have
been reported in the city, excessive
heat probably will effect some of the
physically weak people unless there
is relief. The discomforture of the
sweltering afternoons is the chief eff
feet upon residents of the city who do
not have the farm lands to consider.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-Skepti-
cism today prevailed in official cir
cles over the report that General
Huerta is in flight from Mexico City
and has sought refuge in Puerto Mex
leo. No official confirmation Of the
reports has been received and both the
White House and the state depart
ment are inclined to doubt them. 1t
is generally believed that General
Huerta has made on of his character
istic disappearance" in his favorite
haunts of Mexico City and that he will
reappear in short time.
Il have not received any official
confirmation that Huerta has left
Mexico City" said Secretary of State
Bryan, and the twinkle in the secre-
tary's eye gave the interviewer the
impression that Bryan only wished
that official confirmation could be had
from Mexico City that this was a true
report. Upon the elimination of
Huerta depends the attitude of the
United States towards Mexico.

CLERKS HOLIDAY

The first bit of humanity for the
store clerks of Richmond to relieve
the discomfort Of staying indoors six
days a week and on their feet most of
the time during the sweltering sum
mer weather, has been started by
Henry GOldfinger. owner of the Palais
Royal. Mr.. Goldfinger announced TO-
day that he would close his store one
afternoon each week during the
months Of July and August and give
his clerks a chance to relax.
Last year a number of mon clerks
asked owners of two or three of Rich

which was to have been held in Jack
sons park The plan fell through.
It is probable that other stores will
follow the example of the Palais Royal
None of the store owners has been
questioned regarding the movement
but clerks believe the start given by
Mr.. Godfinger will be the means OF
inducing other merchants to do like.
wise Mr.. Goldfinger will close either
on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon
each week during the two hottest
months.

take the matter of making the move

Veterinarian With LabOra-

DR.. Lou Glen, who graduated as
veterinarian from an Indianapolis
school last March, and who has since
been practicing his profession in this
city, has been appointed city dairy in
spector by Mayor Robbins on the rec
ommendation of the board of health.
He assumes his official duties the first
of next week.
DR.. Clem succeeds Charles Flock as
dairy inspector. Flock was not ap-
pointed inspector the first Of the year
when the Robbins administration came
into power. but was continued in Of
flee with the understanding that he
might be removed after council had
either passed or rejected the pure milk
ordinance.
Dr. Glenn is not only competent
veterinarian, but is also capable of
performing laboratory work. He has
agreed to make all analyses the board
of health will require to be made. pro-
viding he is furnished with a labora-
| tory to perform such work.
To Provide Laboratory.
Such a laboratory can be provided at
an expense of about three hundred dol
lars. and Mayor Robbins stated today
that he will ask council to make an
appropriation for such purpose. With
a city laboratory the board of health
will no longer be required to have the
state perform such work for it, which
arrangement has never been a salts
factory one. Dr. Clem is also able to
care for all horses owned by the city.
He is not permitted to engage in pri-
vate practice with any dairyman. DR..
! Clem is a young man and formerly re-
sided in Lynn, Ind.

men, pointing out that the dairymen
| have always been enthusiastic in their
endorsement of Flock. DR.. Kinsey al
SO asserted his belief that Flock CO.
operated with the dairymen in their
| campaign to defeat the milk inspection
ordinance, and he accused the retiring
inspector of having indifferently en-
forced some of the provisions of the
existing dairy ordinance.
| AS an instance of this he cited the
| recent councilmanic hearing, that he
never used ice in his delivery wagon
to keep his milk at the temperature
provided in the ordinance. DR.. Kinsey
also said that it was known to the
board that Flock had been in the habit
of calling up some dairymen to inform
them of his intention to inspect their

HANDLEY SUGGESTS
PACKAGE HAMPERS
Postoffice Employe Believes
Use Would Add to Parcel
Post Efficiency.

Citizens of Richmond and Wayne
county farmers are not doing much
mark citing by parcel post. Since the
new plan of sending butter, eggs. vege-
tables and other farm and garden pro-
ducts has been Introduced, very little
effect has been felt here, according to
Superintendent of Mails Handley.
Country butter fresh from the
churn; spring chickens that never saw
cold storage: unwitled vegetables.
fresh home-cured meats and other
things are being sent in other com
munities through parcel post in large
quantities, according to reports, but
the Richmond office handles few of
these products.
Parcel post extension is being plan
ned by the senate, and Mr., Handley
has been sending weekly reports to
Senator Bristow, chairman of the
joint committee on general parcel post.
a comprehensive supply of informa-
ton will be collected by the commit
tee with which to start its extension
work
Mr.. Handley's suggestion to the COM
mittPe is the use OF hampers for carry
Ing and transporting parcel post mat
ter. Express companies use strong
boxes for packing numbers of small
packages sent to one point.
1--WE must come to this sooner or
later Mr. Handley said "It will save
us time and expense. and it a system
which will prevent breakage to a large
extent The method of using regular
mail sacks does not appeal to me as
being practical for parcel post busi-
hess"

ton has been taken on any pastor.
and none will be taken soon. Because
OF the approach of extremely hot

tee that 1t is advisable to wait some
time before selecting a minister
None of the speakers at the Sun
day church services has been con-
sidered in the light of a trial preach
er, and their names have not been
taken up as possible pastors of the

Junketing across the province of On

garden party in Toronto. at which the
Duke Of COnnaught, the governor gen
eral of Canada, and his daughter, Prin-
South American mediators and the
American and Mexican peace dele
gates played steadily at their game of
diplomacy today.
Without the formality that marked
their Conversations in mediation
headquarters in the Clifton hotel, the
conferees again took up the following
questions:
/. The time when Huerta
should abdicate.
2. The right of Huerta to run
for the presidency at the next
election.
8. The right Of the Constitution
aists to dictate the terms Of the
next election.
q. The treatment Of the agricui-
tural question.
1t is expected that the points upon
which the Americans and Mexicans
have reached an agreement will be put
into writing tomorrow. Reports from
Vera Cruz that General Huerta was
in flight from the capital were read
with intense interest by all concerned.
According to the general belief the alb
diCation of Huerta would render the
present conference useless as it would
leave the way clear for the COnstitu-
tiOnalists to seize Mexico City and
with it the central government Of the
republic.
