PLAN FOR PUBLICITY
IN NEARBY TOWNS

The committee in charge of plans
for the Richmond Automobile Show,
March 1925. is now facing another
problem which may result in delay
ing of plans and postponement of the
date for the show.
A representative from a decorating
firm of Indianapolis was in the city

M. Rumely company building which is
to be used for the show and declared
that decorator will have consider
able trouble in making the interior OF
the building look attractive. He re
fused to make bid on the work. An.
other decorator from Cincinnati was
expected this afternoon. The commit
tee. however. is going forward with
the plans and in event the building
cannot be used for the show, another
location will be chosen
An extensive publicity campaign is
being planned by the committee in
which people within a radius of fifty
miles Of Richmond will be attracted to
this city to attend the show. Auto
mobile dealers and manufacturers of
the city have all agreed to cooperate
with the committee in making the
show a success. Because of Rich
mond's prominence as an automobile
manufacturing center, the committee
hopes to make the show one of the
most extensive and interesting ex-
hibits in the state.

COuNCILMEN
TO Vote LOAN
FOR PURCHASE

-Four members of the city council to
day expressed their opinion that the
purchase price established by the In
diana Utilities commission for the
electric plant of the Light, Heat &
Power company as "too high" but all
OF them favored the city accepting the
price and taking over the plant as soon
as possible.
These four councilmen, Frank
Howells, Joseph Waterman, Lawrence
Handley and AL Weishaupt, also said
they would vote for a bond issue to
finance the project if necessary. 1t is
believed their views are representa-
tive of the large majority of the mem
bers of council.
"The price established is too high
but l think the taking over of the
privately owned plant will be good
investment for the city," Howells said
Il favor any legal way of financing the
project"
Says Price Too High.

haupt said. 'but favor purchasing the
plant. l will vote for bond issue il

1.-THE price established is too high
but it will be good thing for the city
to purchase this plant at that said
Handley. ''In the long run the acquis
ition of the plant will be a mighty fine
thing for the city. If bonds must be
issued then ] favor their issuance"
THE price is considerably too high
in my judgment, but the city shoulG
not bubble over this. l would not
like to see bond issue but 1 am fol
lit if necessary" Waterman said
There is one thing insist upon if the
plant is purchased, and that is its
operation along the same lines as 8

lars damage has been done by the gale
which swept over the British Isles, the
North sea and the coast of Holland

The work of the British patrol feet

On the Road to
Recovery After
Severe Illness

Since Vim Hepatica was recently in
troduced at Glen Thistlethwaite's drug
store, 914 Main street. scores of Rich
mond people have testified to the ben
efits they have received by the use
of this new remedy.
A recent statement is one from Miss
Kathryn Fritz. who lives at r. r. No
4, Richmond, Ind. She says:
"A few weeks ago l had a very bad
attack of the grip, and after getting
over it I was in very rundown con-
dition and almost nervous wreck.
was so weak that I could scarcely do
any work and was very much afraid
that was going to have nervous pros
tration. I could not eat any kind of
food and what little did eat, soured
on my stomach. I suffered from indi-
gestion and altogether was in a very
bay way. could not sleep at night
and several times felt like jumping
out of bed.
Il started taking Vim Hepatica less
than a week ago and will frankly say
that in the short time l have been US
ing it, it has made me feel like new
woman. / am considerably stronger
and in better spirits than for some
weeks past My nervous trouble is
disappearing. | am going to take Vim
Hepatica until / am thoroughly well,
as l feel sure it will entirely cure me-.
Vim Hepatica is splendid nerve
tonic, and is unequalled in all cases
of liver and stomach trouble. 1t is
reconstructive medicine; it purges the
system Of all poisonous matter; helps
to digest food, and makes rich, red
blood. For persons in week and run
down condition it is one of the best
medicines on the market
The Vim Hepatica representative
will be on hand at Glen Thistleth-
waite's store, GA Main street, prepar-
ed to meet all callers and answer all
inquiries. Remember the name WIN
