CELEBRATION OF SOME
ANNIVERSARIES

Friendship, n. Y, Aug. The cele-
bration of the one hundredth ami
versary of the founding of this vii
lage began here today, and will con-
tinue through the week. An elaborate
program has been arranged for the
celebration and the festivities have
attracted a large number of visitors
from the surrounding districts. This
village was founded in 1906 by Rich
ard Friar, who came here from King
stOn and settled. Others soon fol-
lowed. As the size of the settlement
increased dissentions arose among
the people and the strife was so hot
that the place was called Flgntlng
Corners. Later, however, the differ
ences were amicably settled and upon
the suggestion one of the pioneers
the place was named Friendship ana
was incorporated under the name
That was in 1915. At one time the
place was quite a center in The lum-
Der industry in this part of the coun-
try and had twenty-five saw mills in
operation. The first school was
Opened in 1910, and religious services
were started about the same time
The first child born in the village
was Sherman Hopkins, 1908; the first
death tuat of Hattie Friar IN the same
year. and the first marriage was that
of James Sanford and Sally Harrison
in 1909. The village contributed 81
men to tne Union army during the
Civil war

REFERENDUM BETTER
THAN CONVENTIONS

Chicago H., Aug. 6.-The annual
convention Of the International
Brotherhood of Transfers opened
here today with a large attendance
representing every state in the
Union. Tne convention promises to
be of unusual importance. The re-
cent big teamsters strike in this city
will be thoroughly discussed in all its
phases and bearings. 1t is also eX-
pected that a proposition will be dis
cussed to discontinue further CON
ventions and conduct all matters of
business relative to the bodies of
unions throughout the country by a
referendum vote. ...any organizations
have accomplished this scheme and it
has many friends in the ranks of the
teamsters. The abolition of conven-
tions would result in a great saving
of money.
