Women Canvassing Teams
Enthusiastic Over Results
and Expect No Difficulty
in Getting Sum.

With total of s21 ,O12 as the results
Of two afternoons efforts, the team
captains and workers of the Guest
house campaign are we'll into the
fight to raise the $4,000 sum.
While today's results are not quite
so large as those of the previous DAYS
new ruling was made which took
probably as much as $500 from the re-
ports but will be included in those to
come.
That the interest is not merely
among the women of the city is
shown by the fact that from 103 girls
at the indianapolis Glove Company a
Miss Yoe, one of the team captains.
She reported that in the Richmond I'm
derwear Co. the girls are making
up donation to be forwarded to the
campaign committee but the amount
has not been announced.
The Richmond Underwear Company
sent a gift of $500 to the committee
that donation being the largest single
one of the day.
The team captains and workers re-
port that they encounter many handi-
caps in the soliciting of funds. In one
place the workers said a person re-
fused to contribute because she had
heard that the Richmond Underwear
Company had made the gift of $500
on the conditions that the girls work
three days without wages.
THAT report is simply ridiculous
said Miss Margaret Starr, president of
the Guest House auxiliary.
The women are making a systematic
effort to thoroughly canvass the city
and while many homes have been Wis
tied there will be no one missed by
the time the campaign closes Fri
day night.
The largest report of the teams yes

amounted to SAL. Several pledges

In order to start the ball rolling for
a flyless Richmond, the Palladium to-
day inaugurates "Swat the Fly" con-
test for the boys and girls of the city.
For the boy and girl who kills the
greatest number of flies during the
month of March, prizes of $5 in gold
for each one will be provided. For the
boy and girl killing the second largest
number of flies respectively there will
be prizes of So each. For the boy and
of flies, there will be prizes of 81
each.
In inaugurating this swat the fly"
campaign to make Richmond a flyless

the impossible. Cleveland, Ohio, has

complexion-the sort that might be
supposed to have attained the utmost
benefit to be conferred by a consist

blue eyes were piercing and arched
with brows like sable radnbows. at
variance with his heavy iron-gray hair
and imperial. His head was leonine
and he looked like a king who has
humbled his enemy. 1t may be added
that his linen was fine and immacu-
late, his black st1ing-tie precisely tied
and a pair OF goh-rimmed eyeglasses
swung by fiat black cord against his
white waistcoat.

Huron, S. D.-Emerson Johnson,

by hanging. He lived alone. Early Ia
the morning he left a note on the

Mrs. Clark Thompson. Mr.. Johnson
discussed some business matters, and
concluded by saying that since the
death of his wife two years before
his life had been like a dream and
that he had decided to end it. Friends
of the dead man had noticed nothing
unusual about him, and the papers he
left would not indicate that he was
in a demented condition, If even in a
