LEGION HEAD SHAKES
HANDS WITH LABOR

BLUEF1ELD, w Va, Dec. 16.-Han-
ford MacNider, national commander of
the American Legion, extended the
hand of friendship to organized labor
and pleaded for continuance of good
feeling between the legion and union
labor in an address at an American
Legion meeting last night. He pre-
dicted that the American Legion and
the American Federation of Labor in
the future will be working together in
the interests of America and for the
benefits of their members.
Mr. MacNider said:
"A small percentage of the public
has vague idea that the American
Legion is opposed to organized labor
Nothing is further from the truth.
mo American citizen denies the
right of laboring men to organize for
their betterment and protection. That
is exactly why the American Legion is
organized for the ex-service men.
There are radical and irresponsible
members of all organizations who do
not reflect the true sentiments of the
bodies which they purport to speak
for, and take it upon themselves to
stir up antagonisms when there really
should be nothing but cooperation and
friendship"

TWO men HELD HERE
CLAIM THEY ESCAPED
FROM INSANE ASYLUM

1t is not often that escaped patients
from an insane asylum succeed in
making their way clear across the adj
jacent state, taking with them a motor
car minus license plates. Yet that is
what Alfonso Brown, and Elmer
Monathan, held on suspicion in the
city jail for the past "a hours, have
done, if the tale they have told local
officers is true,
Brown and Monathan were picked
up on the street early Thursday morn
ing when they were seen to be acting
queerly. They refused to talk, beyond
giving their names as Fred Burns and
Alfred Brown.
Friday morning one of them told Of
ficers that they had been patients in
an insane asylum at kankakee, H.
Police at that place were notified and
an investigation started
The car which the men had been
driving was filled with tools belong
ing to plumber or mechanic. The
two men had purchased bread in Cam
bridge City and half loaf of it was
found in the bottom of the car.

LOCAL BANKS TO PAY
3 Per CENT RATE ON
SAVINGS, NEXT YEAR

The interest rate on savings de-
posits and certificates of deposit on
and after Jan. 1, 1922, paid by Rich
mond banks, will be per cent, in
stead of Az per cent, which has been
the prevailing rate for about a year.
The Second National bank, the I'm
Ion National bank, the First National
bank. the American Trust and Savings
bank and the Dickinson Trust com
pany, in statement Friday said this
action had become necessary on &C
count of the low income yield prevail
ing on all high grade investment
securities.
About one year ago." says the
statement, when the banks OF Rich
mond increased the rate on savings
deposits to AZ per cent, the income
yield at that time on all good securi-
tles was per cent and per cent, and
In some instances as high as 8 per
cent and under those conditions we
thought we could pay as high rate as
Az per cent Today the income WELD
on this same class of securities is
only IA per cent to per cent. The
banks therefore feel that it would be
unwise, as well as contrary to the
rules of sound and conservative bank
ing, to pay under existing conditions,
q greater rate than 3 per cent"
The interest rate on bank loans will
not be reduced at present. one official
said. indianapolis and Cincinnati
bankers are still making Z per cent

LEIGH TELLS COLLEGE
STUDENTS ABOUT ART;
ETCHINGS DISCUSSED

Too many people buy pictures to
fill spaces and then never realize that
years ago they grew tired of them
and that they only cheat themselves
to leave them there" said Howard
Leigh in talk on Print Apprecia-
ton at Earlham, Friday morning.
Leigh who is rapidly gaining a reputa-
tlon as an artist gave one of the most
interesting and instructive talks of
the year, telling low he became in
terested in art and also the method of
construction of Autographs and etch-
ings.
He Immediately won the interest of
his listeners when he began by saying
On the only other occasion when !
have been requested to speak l felt a
bit worried lest my audience should
depart, but | am happy this morning
in the assurance that this gang not
only had to come but will have to
stay. To begin with, my subject
is as dry as dust. l nearly sneeze my
self when / think of a speech on print
appreciation. l remember with dis
tinctness with what "ennui'' l listened
to most of the addresses from this
platform when | was in college and /
do not assume for an instant that any
thing | might say would fall outside
of that great majority"
Mr.. Leigh has presented a collec-
ton of Autographs of various famous
artists to the Earlham library In
speaking of this collection he said, it
is this beginning of a print collection
which the Earlham library has very
kindly agreed to make a part of it's
permanent collection.
Collection is Sport
The realm is mine of course. The
sport to be derived from prints is in
the collection of them. They have
been placed in the library in the hope
that some few of you will examine
them from time to time and not be
compelled to feast your souls entirely
on the blond or brunette ladies on the
magazine covers
In speaking on the appreciation OF
prints he said. IF one likes a print be-
cause the subject is familiar or be-
cause the print tells a story that is
reason enough to buy that print. If
1t is inartistic or badly done it is prob
able that your interest in that print
will soon die but there will be no
weeping at the funeral and you will
discard it with the utmost ease when
your taste and understanding have
mounted to something higher"
In closing Leigh outlined the actual
construction of the lithograph. He
defined it as the art or process of
putting designs on stone with a greasy
material and of producing impressions
therefrom."

THE FORUM

An open letter to the parents and
friends of children in Wayne county
in general and Richmond in particu-
lar:
The children in our schools, both
public and parochial, have before them
a splendid chance to serve humanity
in the sale of Christmas seals. In fact,
the motto of the Junior Red Cross is
Il Serve" and the object of that ser
vice is humanity 1t will cost approx
imately $500 to furnish milk lunches
10 under-nourished school children
from the public or the work will not
be done.
The school authorities very properly
do not wish the children to make a
house-to-house canvass in order to
further the sale of seals, but they
are cooperating, as good citizens. in
this manner: Each school building
has been supplied with certain num-
Der of seals. In some buildings these
have been distributed among rooms,
in others only one teacher has charge
of the schools supply. But, in any
case, it is possible for any of the chill
dren to procure any number of seals
desired. How are the children to sell
the seals? They are to make can
vass among their relatives and friends
to secure orders and collect the money
from them.
They are then to buy the necessary
of seals from the proper per-
son in their school building and de-
liver the seals to those who have or
dered them. If each school child will
sell at least II cents worth of seals
the $500 will be raised. Will those
parents and friends who have not been
supplied as yet kindly instruct their
children, or little friends. to buy their
seals without delay? One room has
sold $50 worth of seals to date, and
one boy has sold So worth. If par
ents, teachers, and children will work
together the amount needed will be
raised before Christmas.

Miss WEIGH is said to have con-
tralto voice of great beauty, range
and power. w. L. Hubbard, of the
Chicago Tribune. says of her singing:
Her voice, rich toned and smooth. is
under complete control, and she in
terpreted her numbers with the spirit
of exaltation and joyous proclamation
that are so frequently lacking. 1t is
a pleasure to find a contralto who
does not groVel in grief and swathe
herself in solemnity when singing

Music Achievement.

sidered the greatest oratorio ever
written this oratorio is performed at
each Christmas season in at least a.
hundred cities in the United States

All the accompaniment will be
played by the symphony orchestra,
which will also have two numbers
alone. One of these numbers THE
Pastoral Symphony" appears on the
