SERVICE Men FROM
KIRKSVILLE COMING

The American Legion meeting Sat
urday afternoon in Richmod will be
attended by a good sized delegation
from Kirksville, where there was a
rousing meeting held Thursday night,
presided over by Harold Oldham, of
this city, chairman of the "push"
committee here. There was a large
attendance and much enthusiasm
evinced at the meeting and many
signified their intention of coming to
Richmond on the morrow and hear
Col. Dan Morgan Smith.
The final meeting Saturday after
noon will bring to Richmond to their
interest, and some of them, is is said,
have been so busily engaged they
have not paid but casual attention to
the movement looking towards the or
ganization Of the immense body of
men who have done such creditable
work for their country.

STILL MORE ROOM
NEEDED FOR BOYS

While Memorial hall at the Eastern
Normal school will be enlarged suf-
flciently to accommodate so more boys,
this will not be adequate to supply the
demand since there are many peti-
tions being sent in by boys to attend
the school. This was one of the mat
ters taken up by the Board of Re-
gents recently, and the enlargement
is the result. 1T is expected that
within one or two years, this depart
ment will be able to accommodate all
students. However, at present, mem
bers of the faculty will again appeal
to the residents of the city of Rich
mond to continue their graciousness IN
the way of accommodating the
scholars. For some time rooms have
been provided for students, owing to
the fact that this accommodation
could not be furnished at the school,
but from the manner in which the en-
rollment of students is continuing
more rooms will be necessary. There
is a decided increase in the demand
at present upon the part of boys.

TWO FIND that DAILY
REGISTER ADVS. PAY

Two prominent local firms have
learned to their advantage this week
that advertising in the Richmond
Daily Register brings returns away
from home as well as in the territory
Immediately adjacent to Richmond
and Madison county. A lady wrote
the Richmond Welch Company from
Florida, that she saw its advertise
ment Of refrigerators in the Daily
Register, and gave her order for one,
and other goods.
Stockton G. Son, local agents for
Tanlac-perhaps the greatest selling
medicine of the decade, received. q
letter from aman in Ohio stating that
he noticed in the Daily Register that
they sell Tanlac, and he wanted z
supply sent by mail. He could un-
doubtedly have secured it at any drug
store where he lived, but he saw il
his old home town paper the Daily
Register that Tanlac is sold in Rich
mond by Stockton and Son, and
he wrote for it to be sent him hun
dreds of miles away.

Unusual Number Of Brilliant
Events are Booked For
The Final Work

While the official program has
not been completed, commence
ment week at the Eastern Ken
lucky State Normal School, be
ginning on Sunday, June 6, will
be busy and brilliant one, since

time at school.
The opening of the weeks fes-
tivities will occur upon the above
date when DR.. M. B. Adams, of
Georgetown, will deliver the bac-
calaureate address, Sunday even
ing at 8 o'clock. This will be

field day, which in itself will
prove a busy one and participated
in by many. Tuesday will be
elementary day and in the even
ing the commencement play will
be presented. The rehearsalS for
this are now going on, and this
feature promises to be one of
the best yet presented. The cast
will be greater than usual and it
is said that the talent could
scarcely be improved upon.
On Wednesday, the intermc-
dates will come in for their in
ming, the certificate class meeting
being held during the day and the
graduation being the night fea-
ture. The commencement exer-
cises, it is understood will be
elaborate to say the least.
On Thursday, the Seniors will
participate in the final chapel ex-
ercises. On Thursday night, the
Presidents reception is another
feature not lacking in point of in
tereSt.
On Friday will occur the Nor
NAL School commencement, this
to be followed by the alumni ban
quet i'll the evening This will
be a repetition of brilliant affairs,
and the program indicates that it
will prove a very fitting finale to
the seasons work at the school.

will be a large number of visitors
in Richmond during this week OF
festivities among the students,
the parents of many coming,
some from quite a distance to
witness the closing of the school
work upon the part of their rela-
tives. Preparations are now be

MUSIC LOVERS
GIVEN RARE TREAT
Celebrated Artists Together With
Local Participants In Music
Festival Appreciated

The opening concert of the May
Music Festival Thursday evening was
greeted by large and appreciative
audience, and from the first number
to the last note of the chorus, the in
terest was centered on the stage. The
solo artist of the evening, Mr.. John
Hoffman, Of Cincinnati, met with an
enthusiastic reception, coming to this
city ,as he does, a product of the great
musical centers Of the world, with the
sanction of many famous instructors
The string quartet, which is here
again, must always live up to it's rep
utation and one would be disappointed
if it did not give the best of which it
is capable.
Richmond is known as a musical
town and is always responsive to any
finished production.
The chorus of young people and
children, which has been in training
through many months, is always well
received by their many friends who
anticipate great pleasure in their per-
folmance.
The concert by the primary grades
this afternoon was the second of the
series and showed considerable tai
ent among the little people and much
careful training. The front row OF
bright faced little singers was not the
least Of last nights attractions and
little Miss Lynn Evans had the honor
in q sweet, childish voice, of address
ing the Piper in a sentence solo.
Tonight, if you wish tc hear the
great oratorio, you must go early. The
auditorium will be adequate. Many
visitors are already here and many
are expected from adjacent towns
Last year number were turned away
But the chapel has been reseated
among many noticeable repairs, and
the capacity is about 600. One can moi
afford to miss this great Handel pro
duct, brought to our very door and
in addition to our artist of last even
ing, the other solo work will be ably
taken by Miss Brown, Miss Metcalf
and Mr. Haberstro, all of whom are
artists in their own particular sphere
1t goes without saying that with DIR
Myers as director Miss Brown E. Tel
ford, the gifted accompanist, with the
orchestra, chorus and oratrio artists
with Mandel's Messiah as the great
objective, and last, perhaps, not least
the great audience in full dress, it will
be q gala occasion.
