ARE PROVIDING
new FIRE ESCAPES

The material for the fire eS
capes to be provided for the audi
torium building at Eastern Nor
NAL School, is beginning to arrive
and the Improvement will be not
ed in the very near future. This
is but one of the precautions be-
ing taken against fire, since 400
feet Of additional hose has been
purchased and number Of fire
extinguishers have been provided
for various buildings. The schools
have been provided with addition
al apparatus since the number Of
structures have been increased,
and it now the belief that loss
from fire has been reduced to the
minimum.
The management has been
working in accordance with the
new legislation regarding fire
protection, and this is one matter
closely adhered to. While there
will be storage shed built soon,
this, too, will be provided with all
fire protection asked by law, and
perhaps more, since it is the de
sire of those in charge to take all
necessary precautiOn.

THREE CANDIDATES
HERE MONDAY

Court day visitors to Richmond on
next Monday will have the opportun-
ity of hearing the three candidates fof
the nomination for congress in the
9th district present their claims to the
voters. Both Judge Ralph Gilbert, of
Shelby couny, and Col. Frank Ripy,
Of Anderson county, have notified
their friends here that they will be on
hand and it is expected that Private
George T. Davis, of Casey county, will
be here also. He has met his two op-
ponents on the stump wherever they
have appeared and the three-cornered
debate that they engage in is usually
heard by a large audience and much
enjoyed by all.
1t is expected that the speaking will
begin at the court house about 1:30
or o'clock, so that each of the can
didates may have full opportunity to
present his views to the voters. 1t is
probable that a big audience will be
out to hear them.

MANUAL TRAINING
DEVELOPS ARTISTS

At the manual training depart
ment of the Madison High School
there is an unusual collection of
samples of handiwork, some rep
resenting among the best classes
of workmanship to be found in
the country-all the work Of
boys. The collection, if placed
on exhibition and displayed as the
most proficient work of art,
would be admired by all and re-
cognized by few as having been
made by Richmond school boys.
There are mahogany tables of
rare design and extraordinary
finish; picture frames made after
the fashion of the elaborate ones
encasing celebrated and world
renowned pictures; book cases Of
rare woods, withsFarious natural
colorings brought out through
scientific process; chairs of uni
que design and book cases of or
ignial design, and many modern
pieces of furniture and ornaments
which can but cast unusual credit
TO the maker.
This work, under the supervi-
sion of Prof. J. H. Kunkel. has
developed to a wonderful degree
in the local schools within the
past few years and one of the rea
sons for it's unusual success; is
the deep interest shown by the
youthful workers. Ever ready
10 act upon suggestion Of theii
leader, the students dive into the
depths of the mysterious work of
producing attractive and valuable
ornaments and things of useful
nature, from rough, unattractive
pieces of wood. Some of the pu-
pills have under contemplation a
set Of furniture which will not be
finished for some time and which
promises to cope with any to
De found in the way of elaborate
md perfect Workmanship. The
parents Of the average student do
not realize tn. extent of the abil-
ity of their sons i'll this line of
work right here in the home
schools of-their home city.
The work of the boys has been
highly complimented by many
noted visitors at the school. and
the facilities for work in this de-
partment are. to be improved,
much to the pleasure of the boys.

MUCH BUSINESS
CONFR0NTS COUNCIL
Tax Levy Will Be One Of Many
Important Features of Reg
ular Session Tonight

A big volume of business con-
fronts the members of the Rich
mond city council at the regular
meeting Thursday night. One of
the features to demand the atten-
ton of the City Fathers will be
the tax levy for the year.
According to the schedule call
ed for by the city school board, a
school tax levy of Is cents per
$4,000, will be asked This rep
resents an advance Of Is cents
over last year, and is admissible
by new Legislative laws. Inter
est on bonds, it is estimated, will
be IS cents per 500, and with a
levy of Is cents for the general
fund, an approximate levy of
$1o5 on the 500 will result.
One of the city officials, in
speaking of the new levy today,
said the amount called for i'll
maintaining the schools of the
city represented as much, II not
more, than for all other business
of the city, including municipal
organizations, such as the police
and fire departments, besides wa
ter and light, maintenance Of
streets, judicial and executive de-
partments, etc. He stated that
the increase Of school tax will not
be made voluntarily by the city
council, but d result of the right
of the school board under the law
to fix its own rate.
There will be a renewal of Ii
censes upon various businesses,
comprising trades, professions
and occupations. This is ex-
pected to produce considerable
revenue.

BIGGEST BATTLESHIP
AFLOAT IS NOW READY

New York, June 3-The super
dreadnaught Tennessee, the larg-
est and most formidable battle
ship ahoat, goes into commission
today at the Brooklyn navy yard.
1t was constructed at a cost OF
$20,O00,00O. She represents the
last word in battleship architcc-
'turc. She is 02S feet long, with
a beam of % feet, a displacement
of $500 tons. The equipment
consists of revised advantages
taken from lessons learned i'll bat

steel fort near the top of the for
ward mast are many new devices.
one Of which enables the crew to
train its guns on all enemy ship,
long before the Tennessee is even

DYNAMITE USED
IN Stone QUARRY

Several thousand tons of rock will
be necessary in the paving of the
streets and much headway is being
made now in the quarries, since dynaz
mite is being used. The reports of
explosions have caused many inquiries
to be made, some believing a new
hunting law had just gone into effect
Small charges are used, and the
quarries, when the supply has been
removed for use on the streets, will
present different appearance. The
shale and loose rock has all been re-
moved and the work has now reached
the bed rock, with the result that dyn-
amite is being used to great advan-
tage. There is goodly supply of stone
prepared for the streets, and this will
be deposited ready for use as soon aS
the excavating machinery of the pay
ing company arrives.

SALARY list IS
ADOPTED BY STATE

The salary list, as prepared by Su
perintendent B. F. Edwards of th,
Madison county schools, and sent t.
the State Board hast week, was re-
turned Thursday morning, marked
approved" and the salary for the
various positions to be filled in tho
county will be according to the follow
ing:
For. the four county high schools

for. nine months, with four assistants

cipals at $S5, with five assistants a
$50; one room instructors at $75 ano
$S5. a..-
1t was enlphaically stated by Su-
pertinent Edwards that a hardship
was being worked on Madison county
through the invasion by other schoo
superintendents who induce many c1
the instructors to go to their schools
"Why," he said, "some Of them ever
come to me and solicit my aid in go
ing to visit the various teachers at th'
schools in an effort to get them to &c
to their schools"
He stated, however, that while ma
ny were loyal to their home county
there were many in Covington, Louis
vile, Floyd county and other places il

Of Kentucky wants teachers from

crintendent. He stated that if it were
possible to recall every local teacher
the Madison county schools could bc
Immediately filled with instructors
graduates from the Eastern Norma
school. One Of the reasons there i
such demand for these teachers, it il
asserted, is the fact that they hav'
been compelled to attend other schools
or take up special study during thei
vacation period.

THE THIRD PICTURE IN
A BIG SMASHING SFRIES

The perturbation by Bessie Barris-
Gale of the third of the novels of Kath-
leen Norris, the famous writer of wo-
mems stories, within the last few
months, presents remarkable exam,
pie of cooperation between f:ctior
writer and screen artist. The third
picture The Luck of Geraldine Laird,
will be shown at the Richmond the
atres Saturday. Whether Miss Norris
has standard heroine, who fits close
ly to the needs of Bessie Barriscale,
or whether Miss Barriscale twists her
emotional self most sympatheticaliy to
the women who are created by the
pen of Miss Norris is not stated. The
chances are it is the latter for<aE the
central figures in the stories filmed
by Miss Barriscale are different.
