EIGHT CARS START
ON ALFALFA TOUR
Cobb Leads First Trip With
Experts to Explain Crop
and Growing.

About forty men in eight auto
mobiles made the start in the auto
mobile tour of the county in the in
terest of alfalfa growing this morning.
A. D. Cobb, county agent and the
speakers lead the procession. Other
machines joined along the route and
the line was expected to contain about
fifteen or twenty by noon.
Maurice Douglas, practical farmer
and Well known to Wayne county men,
will be the leading speaker both days
on the utilization of alfalfa while a
Purdue lecturer will explain the
methods of growing.
After the first sowing, alfalfa will
grow for fifteen years when it can be
eXterminated and other crops grown
with excellent results as alfalfa sup
plies the soil with necessary ingredi-
ents to make soil sweet and fertile.
TomOrroW's trip is expected to be
bigger than today's, six machines com
ing from other counties for the start.
Many farmers made arrangements TO
meet the procession of automobiles
along the road in order to save the
trip to Richmond and give them time
for some work in the morning.
Todays tour included Chester, Will
liamsburg, Greensboro. Hagerstown
and Richmond, the stops being made
at intermediate points where alfalfa
is grown.
Most of the alfalfa in the county is
now ready for cutting and some has
been cut. This gave opportunity to
the farmers to see the plant in the
form of hay as well as. growing
Planting will not take place until the
last of July and the first part of
August.

humiliate poor little, loving Helen
show that he is not a man, but a brute,
and makes me doubt if he ever really
loved her. Helen is as devoted and
economical as could be. If more
women were like her there would be
no high cost of living. He knew her
little characteristic peculiarities be.
fore he married her and if he could
not be patient and make her loving
husband, he should never have mar
ried her and dragged her through foul
years Of married life.

ON STREET LIGHTS

Desiring expert advice on the sub
ject of the best system of lighting for
Richmond, Mayor Robbins, Alfred
Bavis and one other member of the
board of public works will go to Day
ton next week to consult with the bu-
reau of municipal research. The Day
ton bureau is in touch with a number
of cities and has made a special study
of the lighting question. City officials
believe they will be able to acquire
many valuable ideas from the visit.
When the subject of street lights
came before the Commercial club di-
rectors last night, S. Z. Swayne, who
has returned from a trip through the
west, said he felt sorry for Richmond.
He said cities much smaller. in some
cases less than a fourth as large as
this city had street lights far superior
to those throughout Richmond.
John L. Rupe declared, figuratively
speaking, Richmond was still lin the
candle age" as far as the illumina-
ton Of streets Is concerned
