What happens at THANKSGIVING may
be expected again al Christmas and
New Year. Lncoln'5 and Washing
toms birthday celebrations with the
possibility OF large audiences at two
evening representations and one in the
afternoon, are again the incentives to
great artistic endeavor on the part OF
the theatres. Labor Day marks the
opening OF the theatre season officially.
although there Is at that time less OF
the inspiration to generous output
that comes with the later holidays. II
Is indeed these holidays with their pos
ribility of bringing one or two large
audiences which. after August has once
found the playhouses opened. add to
the activity of the dramatic season.
Between these high points moreover,
there IL Just such lull in managerial
enterprise as the past two weeks has
witnessed. 1t Is, however. significant
OF the present situation in the theatre
that the holiday with its beguiling
promise of an audience or two now
regulates the output OF the drama.

PLAYERS
TO Be SIGNED COR
STATELEkCUE CLUB

The Richmond baseball management
is elated over the showing that Pete
Minner, local player, made in Fridays
game against the fast Newcastle team
and will commence negotiations for
more Richmond players on the club, it
was announced Friday.
MINERS showing and the backing
that Richmond fans gave him decided
the management that Richmond would
rather see some of its fastest local
players make good on a team repre-
senting Richmond than to have so
many out-of-town players. Richmond
fans recently have commenced to
realize that the Quaker City can de-
yelop ball players as we'll as any other
city and are ready to boost their local
players to the limit.
Minner is scheduled to pitch the
game at Newcastle and with that club
batting as it did yesterday he will
show up well on the mound Among
other local players who will probably
have a chance on the Richmond club
are Fent Cooney, manager of the
Richmond Athletics, and Everett Haas,
catcher in the Saturday Afternoon
league. MINER and Haas have work
ed together for several years and as
battery should give any team close
scrap.
Both Cooney and Haas played last
Sunday with Anderson and made an
excellent showing at Muncie The An
derson management is negotiating for
them but it is believed they would
rather play with the local team. Rus
Hawekotte, who is pitching for A. S.
M. in the Saturday Afternoon league,
is another man that the Richmond club
will negotiate with, for Sunday ball.
Hawekotte has pitched at Newcastle,
but not against such a fast team as
Newcastle now has and it was when
he was not going SO well in the box.
In his first game, May 8, at Exhibi.

A law providing for the sending of
nurses and field workers to the homes
of patients who have been discharged

families as to the proper care of the
patients in an effort to prevent recur-
renee OF the trouble, will also be car
ried out by the hospital.
1T often happens" DR.. Smith said,
that patients have been discharged
from the hospital with no traces of
mental trouble but after a month or
SO, the trouble begins to come back.
This is due largely to improper care
of the patient after his discharge, and
it will be the duty of these nurses and
field workers to instruct and observe
the home life and surroundings of dis
charged patients in order to prevent
these relapses.
To Decrease Insanity, Aim.
In all, the entire plan of the i'm
provement of the hospital Is not so
much the curing of mental diseases,
although this must always be consid-
cred, but rather to adopt measures
and study methods that will prevent
mental trouble. and decrease the
amount of insanity in the state"
Funds for these improvements will
be taken either from the general main
tenance appropriation made by the
state legislature, or by special appro-
priation for any one improvement

experience some time ago. when o
young gentleman came into this Of
fee and asked for copy Of the Nor
row County Republican,. He scruti-
nized it carefully when the copy was
handed him, and then said: Now, /

tute. Customers lose faith in stores
where substitution is permitted, to
say nothing Of the injustice to the
