500, 900 fund. or any other fund which
was to be used to pay off the expenses
of william Lorlmer to the United States
senate, according to experts reports
submitted to the senatorial investigating
committee today.
The evidence for the defense" came
in response to previous testimony of C.

national Harvester company He testi-
fled that after the election of Lorimer
to the senate Mr.. Hines had solicited a
contribution of $4,000 to 100000 fund

It being suggested that Mr.. Tilden was
custodian of this fund. An expert after
examining the books of Hines and TIL
den reported there was no evidence of
their having handled any such fund.

Of d. w. Holstiaw, former state senator,

UBLEY, Mich, Nov. 21.-The in
quiry into the strange death within the
last three years of John Wesley Sparkling
and his three sons was begun here to-
day and aroused intense interest
throughout the entire section because of
the prominence Of the family. 1t is alleged

young men, declares the deaths were un-
natural and II is due to his activities

caused. On the other hand the mother of
the dead youths is convinced the deaths
were entirely natural.

death of Albert Sparkling last May and
representative OF the state chemist 5

The Cement Industry In 1910

The statistics of cement pro-
duction in 1910, as reported by
Ernest F. Burchard, of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, in
dicSte that the cement industry
ranks within the first eight ex-
tPactive Industries in the United
States, the Value of the cement
prOduuced being exceeded only by
the value of the coal, pig iron, pc
trOleum and as, clay products,
copper, gold, and stone.
sOns the first Of January, 1911,
according to responses to tele-
graphic requests sent by the Sur
vey to the, larger cement cOmpan-
les, it was apparent that the
Portland cement industry had
madea new high record in 1910,
and it was then estimated by Mr..
Burchard that the production for
the year might reach 100000
barrels. Few other estimates
Ventured beyond this limit and
that it has been exceeded by more
than half a million barrels, as is
shown by the following statistics,
will doubtless prove surprising to
nearly everyone closely. in touch
with the cement industry.
The total quantity of Portland
natural, and puzzOlan cements
produced in the United States
during 1910 was 76,934,675 bar
rels, valued at $68,O52,771. Com
pared with 1909, when the pro-
ductio1 was 66,689,715 barrels,val

WHY YOU SHOULD GET A
| cHAUTAUouA SEASON TICKET

! There are two ways in which you
can attend the Chautauqua. One Of
them Is on the season ticket plan, the
other is by buying single admission
ticket at the Chautauqua gate. On
the season ticket plan. the cost is
about Is cents a number; on the other
plan II varies from rs cents to 50
cents.
The season ticket can be used by
only one person at a time, but II Is
transferable among the members of
the owners family. Not only is It the
cheaper way to You. but 1t Is better
for the Chautauqua's success. A com
munity's interest in the Chautauqua
Is measured by the sale Of season
tickets, and the success Of the Chan
tauqua depends upon the sale Of these
tickets.
II has been found in years OF ex-
perimenting that the sale Of single ad
mission tickets at the gate is only pro
portionate to the sale Of the season.
tickets that are sold before the Chan.
tauqua starts.
The idea Is this. " a community
has been so thoroughly canvassed and
our ChantauQua has been so thorough
ly advertised before the opening date.
as to result Ia a large season ticket
sale, the single admission sales at the
Chautauqua will follow in about that
proportion And u season tickets can
not be sold II Is rarely possible that
single admission tickets can be sold.
The Chantsnqua's success depends
upon the support It gets from the
community. and II is the community
that fixes ChautauQua standards Il
yon get season ticket. you are help
ing to maintain The Chautauqua aid
you are making II possible for your
self and every member Of your family
TO enjoy this big week at the mini
mum cost.
