Saves the Hands.

Dutch women have a clever scheme
for saving the hands when blackening
the stove.
Before touching the stove they lath.
er their hands with soap and allow the
lather to dry before they begin the
blackening process.
The soap prevents the blackenins
from adhering to the fingers.

CHURCHES FILLED
WITH WORSHIPPERS
Choirs Sing Praise of the
Risen King, and Ministers
Tell Story of Hope in ''The
Resurrection"

A perfect spring day with warm
breezes and warming sun brought
JOY to the hearts of a thousand Rich
mond lassies yesterday and the first
real Easter dress parade here for sew
eral years, because of the weather
mans inconsistency, poured through
Main street from morning to night
and flooded Morton park, Glen Miller
park and the popular walks
Conservative Richmond was afire
with the flaming colors which Dame
Fashion has decreed shall be worn
during the spring, although many girls
and women appeared in thin summery
white.
For fear the day would turn out like
every other Easter Sunday and the
weather would demonstrate it's power
over the fashion plates, the dress pa
rade started early. About 9 O'Clock
yesterday morning, the vanguard was
on the way to the Sunday schools.
Later the church-goers came and
those in the Sunday schools mingled
with them.
Two Thousand at Lake.
In the afternoon Main street swarm
ed with vari-colored crowd of stroll
lers. Up one side Of the street and
down the other they promenaded.
About 1000 of them managed to get
to Morton lake and the territory sur
rounding the dam was crowded. 1t is
estimated that a thousand took rides
on the Wild Rover.
Apparently about ninety per cent of
the citizens of Richmond had some
thing new to wear yesterday, which
they were to show the remainder of
the citizens.
Mere man did not stand much show
with his conservative colors against
the dazzling display made by the wo-
men.
The day was a perfect one with not
a cloud in the sky. Although the air
was chilly early in the morning, the
sun soon brought the temperature to
SO degrees, fhere it remained until
noon, when it again started to climb.
The air was sufficiently warmed SO
the night chill, SO common at this
season, was not felt until late.
Preach on Resurrection.
"The Resurrection" formed the sub
iect of one of the sermons of every
minister in Richmond yesterday
Morning sermons were short and Eas-
ter music praising the Risen Lord re-
placed them. Many of the churches
held vesper services.
The Catholic churches opened the
day with mass at O'Clock. Both St
Andrews and ST. Mary's were unusu.
ally we'll attended, the churches being
filled. Special Easter music was
given by the choirs and the Sunday
school pupils had programs of choral
work in which they had been trained
for the occasion.
The Easter message from the Sun
day school pupils in the various Prot
estant churches was also given by
well trained children.

Superintendent Dill Agrees
to Extend Pipes on North
Nineteenth Street From
F to J Street.
FIRE CHIEF WILL
SELECT HYDRANTS
Agreement as to Revenue is
Left for the State Utilities
Commission to Decide
City Under No Obligation.

Water service for the new Morton
park addition was assured today when
superintendent Dill, of the Water
Works company, agreed to extend
mains on North Nineteenth street.
from F to streets, and on North ]
street from Twelfth to Nineteenth.
Mr.. Dill and members Of the board
of public works, agreed that arrange
ments for the revenue the company is
to derive from these two mains will
be left to the Indiana public service
commission.
After the conference with Mr.. Dill,
the board adopted a resolution order
ing the company to make the two
main extensions. This resolution pro-
vides that the number of fire hydrants
and fire hydrant services shall be left
to the decision of the fire chief.
Other Provisions.
1t is also provided in this resolution
that the public service commission
shall determine the city's cost for ad-
ditional fire hydrants and services and
whether the company or property
owners shall pay for the cost of ex-
tending service pipes to properties. In
ordering the main extensions, the res
olution provides the city does not OBJ
ligate itself to pay for fire hydrants
by taking such action.
The terms of his resolution are sat
isfactory to the company and the
mains will be put down is soon as
possible, so that the work of paving
North ] street and North Nineteenth
street will not be delayed.
Officers are Pleased.
Officers of the Morton Park and
Lake association were much pleased
with the prospect of securing water
service for the new addition and they
are hopeful that contract will soon
be let for a sewer system. The city
has twice advertised for bids for a
sewer system for that section of the
city, but without success. Contractors
complain that the city engineers esti-
mate is too low. Mr. Charles said to-
day that the board Thursday would
consider increasing the estimated cost
and the re-advertising for bids.
The board OF works now desires to
arrange for the extension of gas mains
to the park before North Nineteenth
and North J. streets are paved. City
Attorney Bond asked Manager J. B.
Wharton, of the Light, Heat and Pow
er company, this morning if such ex-
tensions would be made soon. but he
said he did not know. He will make
an Investigation and confer with the
board again on this question within a
short time.

ing the latter part of March and the
first part of April. In the fall of 1912
the ground froze solidily and no plow-
ing could be done. Efforts to do plow-
ing in the early months Of 1913 were
frustrated by frozen ground, so there
was not much planting done that year
and the implement dealers in that
country did not dispose of very many
implements.
Conditions improved.
Conditions this year have been
greatly improved. l was n the north
west in January and the weather was
SO mild at that time the farmers were
doing their plowing and before the
close of the month had practically all
their ground broken. so they have
been able to do their planting early
this year, and, consequently, will have
their crops harvested before the fall
frosts. Conditions are so favorable, in
fact, that the dealers are rapidly dis
posing of their stocks
Mr.. Rice said thai in his opinion
the American Seeding Machine COM

employment would be assured for sew

A. Howard Rice, sales manager of
the American Seeding Machine COM
pany, leaves tomorrow for Fargo, N.
d., and other points in the northwest,
where the biggest wheat crop in many
years is now being sown.
Mr.. Rice said today that he expect
ed the west and the northwest to
have the largest wheat crops raised
in those sections of the country in
many years.
Il also anticipate that our concern,
from the latter part of June we'll into
the winter, will have the largest bust

we will begin to reap the benefit in

"The orders from the northwest
will be for next years trade. Because
of unfavorable weather conditions in
the northwest in the fall of 1912 and
the spring of 1918, not many imple,

stocks on hand this year. The big

Ray Fabel made a hasty trip to
Langdon last Friday.
The cold weather the last few days
has created a lively demand for coal.
Chas. S. Paul, secretary of civil
service board, Grafton, came up on
Friday to hold a fourth class postmas-
ter's examination on Saturday.
Mrs. A. Schulke of Langdon was a
visitor here last week and went home
on Thursday, accompanied by her
daughter, Mrs. Fabel, who returned
Friday evening.
lgnatius Perius went to Mt. Carmel
on Sunday and it is reported that he
forgot to come back, and perhaps like
the common expression in the postum
