Father Refused To
Honor Check Though
He Is Bank President

John N. Mitchell, salesman for the
Consolidated Portrait company, is in
jail awaiting trial on a charge OF pass
ing a worthless check for $50 on a
bank in Centralia. Mo-, Of which his
father is president.
His father, ]. T. Mitchell, refused
to honor the check and his son had
no deposits there as he claimed he
had when he induced L. C. Anthony,
salesman for a Chicago meat packing
firm, boyhood companion of Mitchell's
to cash the check for him several
weeks ago.
The two met in Richmond several
weeks ago and Mitchell wrote the
check on his fathers bank thinking
that he would honor it. In letter
to Anthony the father says that his
son didn't ask him to cover the check
or make a deposit for him and that
he wouldn't have done so had he
asked him or wired him to do So"
He says he has not seen his son for
two years.
Following the receipt Of the letter,
Anthony notified Richmond police
and Chief McNally located Mitchell
in Louisville, KY. He telegraphed
police at that city to arrest him which
they did.
Deputy Sheriff Wadman was sent
to Louisville and returned with Nit
chell Sunday.

Former Recorder Parsons Claims
His Garden Contains Most Vege-
tables to Square Foot.

Benjamin Parsons, former Wayne
county recorder, is Richmond's cham
pion war gardener.
He has produced more foodstutfs on
his tract of eighty by eight Of ground
at 120 North Fourteenth .etreet, than
any person II the city, on similar
tract of land, he claims.
To begin with, the land he has cul-
tivated was filled with stones and old
crooks when he needed the presi.
dents advice and started a war gar
den.
AS one crop gradually neared the
production stage Parsons had another
planted and growing rapidly. One
hundred tomato plants in his garden
would take up the entire space had
he planted them as other gardeners
plant them. But instead he planted
them close to each other and planted
other things around them. And all
are producing.
Canteloupes are planted in boxes
on the top of grape arbor, and next
to his pack porch. Tomatoes are
planted around his house. And flowers
are mingled with the garden stuffs SO
that when the last Of the potatos
and produce is obtained his yard and
the strip Of land aside his house will
be made beautiful by fall flowers.
And in addition to saving a neat
sum of money Mr.. Parsons, who was
ill for months, has regained his health
by working in the garden, he says.

wayne COUNTY
READY TO PICK
new ARMY men
Two Draft Boards Will Com
mence to Examine Candi-
dates Tuesday.

Wayne county is ready. At seven
o'clock Tuesday morning in the SUI
perior court room OF the court house
at Richmond and at Cambridge City
the exemption boards Of the two dis
tricts in the county will begin the
examination of registered men for the
county's share OF the new army.
Members OF the Richmond district
board have been working steadily fol
the last two weeks in preparation fol
the examinations, and are now ready
as possible.
Five Physicians Named.
Notice was received by the local
board Monday morning OF the official
appointment Of five physicians to as
sist DR.. F. w. Kreuger in examining
the registrants. The governor ap-
pointed DR.. A. J. Whallon, DR.. S. c,
Markley, DR.. r. D. Morrow, DR.. L. M
Gentle and DR.. w. G. Huffman to aid
the Richmond board.
In examining the registrants and
in making the exemptions, the board
will conform with the letter Of the
law, and in all cases, only the orders
Of the provost marshal general will be
used in making the discharges.
A number of inquiries have been
made concerning who will be discharg.
ed under the dependent clause of the
draft law, but a recent ruling Of the
government has settled many ques'
tions which have been in doubt.
Ruling Clears Matter.
Under the original ruling Of the pro-
vost marshal general, man who was
the sole support Of widowed mother,
of a minor brother or sister, could be
exempt. A recent ruling, however,
instructed the boards to find whether
or not the applicant is paying an
amount to the support Of dependent
which he could not pay from his
wages as a soldier.
A soldier in the new army will be
ceive $50 a month, and all his ex-
penses for equipment and travel and
board. OF this amount, it has been
found that at least $25 can be turned
back to the support Of dependent
1t was given in the ruling, therefore,
that If man was not giving more
than $25 to the support Of depend
ent, he should not be discharged.
All OF these cases will be worked
out by the board, however, and as
soon as the first quota has been eX.
amined, the board will begin the in
vestigation Of the exemption claims,
