Russia may be rehabilitated through
the revolutionary overthrow Of the
Bolsheviki, brought about by the
same elements of the population
Joining the advancing Allied army Of
liberation. The enterprise would be
directed against the Bolsheviki, the
reputed Allies Of Germany. Military
activities in Eastern Siberia are al
SO proposed to offset the reported
uprising Of Tuetonic prisoners and to
ward off the menace Of Germans.
There Is q great divergence OF
opinion as to the effect which the
landing Of armed forces on Russian
soil would produce upon the people.
There are those who contend that
this would arouse q national spirit
|of antagonism. paradoxical a. It my
seem. stronger even than that which
now exists against the Infamous az
erosion Of Germans IN the West. It
10 contended also that military occu-
patton Of the East would tend to
more firmly establish the power Of
the Bolsheviki by uniting the now
quarreling factions against the COM
mon enemy and would drive Russia
to accept--and perhaps even to seek
political and economical help from
Germany in preference to that Of her
Allies. who. according to the Rus
sian point Of view. had stabbed her
in the back.
The reports OF the American and
English officials appointed to inves-
|tigate the conditions of Siberia do
not substantiate the rumors of the
seizure in the name of Germany Of
various Siberian communities. 1t has
been repeatedly stated that there was
danger OF the stores of vladivostok
being seized for benefit OF Germany
and that control of the railroad to
that port would afford Teutonic ac-
cess 70 the Pacific. with the possible
launching OF submarines to harass
the shipping Oh the Pacific. Coupled
with this was the statement that the

The children's market on Fridays
has attracted the attention OF the Unit
ed States government, which is asking
data on the successful operation of
the venture Purdue University will
send experts to study it's workings.
The market is the logical outcome of
the spring garden drive which gave
Richmond the national reputation OF
having more war gardens in proportion
to it's population than any city in the
United States.
The produce raised by the young
gardeners either had to rot in the gar
dens or be disposed of to the public.
The children's market is the medium
through which these foodstuffs are
sold to the producers and families
that were unable to raise enough pro-
duce for canning purposes.
Children do not buy from commits
sion men and then resell to their Gus
toners. The. market is not in compe-
tition with the regularly established
business houses that handle produce.
By selling only produce raised in war
gardens they do not conflict with COM
mercial activity is safeguarded. 1t
would be unfair in the extreme for
children to buy from commission men
and then sell to the public.
The educational value of the war
garden and children's market cannot
be oyerestimated. By making garden
ing a compulsory study in the Garfield
building, children are taught to be
producers. Their gardening skill will
accompany them through life, adding
thousands of producers and decreas-
ing the ratio between non-producers
and consumers, something which the
government is trying to attain.
By putting their produce on the mar
ket and selling it, the children are
taught methods of business and
finance. The educational benefit can
not be denied. The money that the
children make, so investigation has
disclosed, is used for the purchase of

asked for immediate shipment of a
large number of the machines.
Mr.. Baker said the order had been
given priority by the department, in,
surfing quick transportation. More
than 400 of this type had been sent to
France before the new requisition was
received.
There are no perfect airplanes.'
said the war secretary in discussing
reports of criticisms of the DeHavi-
land type. Improvements in the best
of them come rapidly. both as to
types and as to succeeding numbers
of the same type. This is true of the

WILL CONSTRUCTION
IS ASKED BY HEIR

WINCHESTER, Ind, July 31.-The
will of Thomas Wright probated last
August bequeathed all his money on
hands as we'll as the rents and profits
for fifteen ysars of farm in Wayne
county, Indiana, to the Arba church
and the Arba cemetery association.
He also bequeathed to Levi Nickens,
colored, who had cared for him for
several years, a life time right in fifty
acres of land situated in Randolph
county. A clause in the will recites
that the cemetery association is to
keep the graves of Wright and his wife
in Respectable condition" At the
expiration of fifteen years the Wayne
county farm is to descend to his son,
Clarence Wright. The son is now
petitioning the court to appoint re-
ceiver to take possession of the pro
ceeds of the land asserting that Nick
ems and the church and cemetery as
sociation are in possession wholly
without right. The court has also
been petitioned to construe the will.

SUGAR CUT ORDER
RECEIVED HERE

H. w. Gilbert, Federal Food Admin
istrator for Wayne County, just re-
ceived a wire from the government
that there must be cut of 1913 per
cent. on the sugar distribution and the
consumption of sugar for the month
of August. Sugar for the month Of
August will be based on the two
pound per-capita per month consump-
ton. Sugar for hotels and restaurants
is cut to two pounds per every ninety
meals served. The government fig
ures on this basis there will be plenty
next month. The allotments to less
essential industries has already been
restricted and the distribution of
sugar for canning purposes has been
so strict that boarding has been i'm
possible and in most cases canning re-
quirements are greatly below that of
other years. 1t is advisable, however,
that people be encouraged to put up
fruit and the National Food Admins
tration suggests that the fruit crop
should be preserved without sugar and
sweetened later when the fall sugar
crop is available.
After August 1, the allotment will
eight ounces per capita per week,
which is on the basis of lbs, per
capita per month.
The government authorities have
made some complaint with the food
administration as to the grocerymen
not filling out their order forms lNop-
erly. 1t is necessary for each and ev
cry item to be taken care of in the
regular way in order to eliminate
trouble in checking the report forms.

The activity of the Merchants AS
ISOLATION in developing possible open
ings for new government contracts
was shown in the report given by H.
S. Reed of the Reed Furniture Store
Tuesday evening when the association
met at the Arlington.
The report showed that the indus
tries committee had been in communi-
cation with officials of Dayton bust
ness houses, ascertaining how new
industries are obtained and what pos
sibilities there are for such orders to
be received here.
Although no definite contracts had
been gained, so many prospects for
large business were found that Mr.
Reed asked that his committee be en-
larged, and was voted the power to en-
large it as he saw fit.
w. E. Balsh of indianapolis gave an
interesting talk on the matter of Gre

OPERATION OF FIRE
ALARMS EXPLAINED

Richmond people do not know how
to use the fire alarms, according to
Chief Miller of the fire department. Il
am frequently asked how to turn in
alarms" he said Wednesday morning
Not long ago there was a man who
had passed the boxes hundreds of
times, and yet, one day when he saw
fire went to box, broke the glass
and turned the key thinking that was
all he had to do. OF course the fire
department did not come, and he
came down to the engine house to in
vestigate the cause, ready to blame
the system for being out of order
Meanwhile the building was burning
down"
After you turn the key to the box,
Chief Miller pointed out, the door to
the real alarm place merely has been
unlocked. The alarm only is turned
in when the door has been opened and
the inside lever has been pressed
down.

All Allied Airplanes May Soon
be Huge Bombing Machines

a better made machine than the aver
&c that has been used in the United
States.
The bombing devices being attached
to virtually every plane is not the
contrivance that was used in the earl
Ter days of the war. That used then
was little more than a mechanism
that released the projectile. allowing
it to fall at a point approximately near
the target. The device now being
used is one with which the operator
may with much practice become al
most as proficient in craftsmanship
as an artilleryman is with his gun.
Almost every light plane will carry
bombs of at least % pounds and from
the heavier types there will be hurled
the huge containers of high explosive
not materially different from those
used by the Germans in some of the
more recent raids.
