Centennial BOARD
TO HELP CELEBRATE
STATE HIGHWAY DAY

The plan fathered by Dr. l. S. Harold
of Richmond to devote one day of the
state centennial celebration at Indi-
annapolis, next October, to the celebra-
ton of the highways of Indiana, met
with enthusiastic endorsement at the
meeting of the state centennial com
mittee at Indianapolis last night. DR..
Harold attended the meeting and ex-
planned his plan.
Cities and towns along the National
road, the first highway constructed in
Indiana, are to play prominent part
on state highway day at Indianapolis.
Two parades of decorated automobiles,
starting simultaneously at Terre Houte
and Richmond, and meeting on Wash
ington street, Indianapolis, are to be
arranged Every town and city on
the old highway will furnish it's quota

of motor cars, and the spectacle prom
lses to be very imposing one.
Members Of the state centennial
commission are wondering why Rich
mond and Wayne county have ar
ranged no centennial celebration Dr.
Harold said today. mo criticism was
offered by the commissioners on the
failure of this city and county TO play
their part in the statewide celebra-
ton, but, privately, several of the
commissioners expressed surprise over
the LACK Of interest displayed in this
community, especially because this
year not only marks the centennial of
Indiana's admission to the union, but
is also the one hundredth anniversary
of the founding of the city of Rich
mond. Richmond is the only city in
the state that has not arranged for a
centennial celebration"

Somnlttee AZ work.
Petitions will be prepared by Oscar
Z. Dickinson and Edgar Tiff. Each
business block in the city will be as
signed a petition for signatures of In
terested persons.
"A whole year has passed since the
bridge was condemned" said Mr.. Dick
inson today. Very little has been
done toward reaching a decision on
the kind OF bridge to build and the
time has come when some action
must be taken. The commissioners
should have ordered plans to be made
soon after the bridge was condemned
30 that the people would be able to
decide what kind OF bridge to build.
II II is impractical to build high
level bridge. then figures should be
made known and the decision reached
soon"
Everybody Interested.
Residents OF the West Side have
become more interested in the new
bridge question since Richmond ave
nue. has been torn up preparatory to
building new street there. Traffic
has increased over the temporary
roadway leading to the temporary
Main street bridge since construction
work has started on Richmond avenue
and the inconvenience to traffic has
been brought to the attention Of the
people more than ever before, Mr..
Dickinson said

 Late Saturday night Canning dis covered two horses missing from the corral at the rear of his East Mon roe treet residence He called up The Republican ard asked that mo- lice of the disappearance of the +teeds he made public. This was done.
 Shortly after sun-up yesterday morning Canning went out of his front gate worried because his pet eqhincS had gone, perhaps never to return. He has visions of some hearles individuals driving his horses at top speed over vast desert wastes, without food or water and then abandoning them to their fate when they could no longer navigate.
 And there at the front of the house he found his copy of The Republican and standing over it the two horses. Through The Republican they had learned that their absence was caus- ing worry in the Canning home and
 hey were waiting to make amends morning feed The question of dis position of the reward offered has net been settled. though the reporter ! who wrote the story is. of course. in q receptive mood

Colquitt, former governor. con tlnued to increase steadily in his lead over the field.
 Notable in the recent developments was the increase in the vote of MT Culberson, who is seeking reelection. which cut down the lead of Dr. s. P Brooks. former president of Baylor university, for second place.
 The run-Off will be between the can didates receiving the highest number of votes
 Returns from approximately 270. 900 votes gave the following results:
