turned Saturday evening on the plug
from Humboldt which had been their
destination when the hike was started
about 8 O'Clock in the morning. Half
of the bunch started out ahead scat
tering scraps Of paper on the trail so
that the foxes might properly follow
the geese. The second part Of the
crowd however did not appreciate
some OF the deviations into the mud
made by the geese and ere long took
the direct route. Thus the foxes
reached Humboldt an hour in advance
of the geese, The boys enjoyed an
inspection OF a natural cave near
Humboldt and ate their lunch in that
instering environment.

Smiles and Discs of
Cardboard.

If any little girl or boy meets you
next Saturday, fastens tag some
where upon your clothes and pipes
up, "Tag, you're it," the proper
thing for you to do is smile and

pocket book and the state of your
digestion. For be it known unto
you, Saturday is the national w.
c. T. u. tag day and the children
of Chanute are going to have their
share in celebration of it.
The custom has been IN vogue
among the w. C. T. U. workers In
America for number of years and
has become an accepted method of
soliciting funds for various public
purposes, not necessarily connected
directly with the w. C. T. U. work
but always be used for some pur-
pose intended to benefit the public.
The Chanute children have con-
Quoted similar campaign for two
previous years. Last year they
secured 500 on the appointed day.
On the previous occasions the
funds were used to pay for memorial
windows which were being placed )
in the new Baptist and Presbyterian
churches. This year the money
will be used for similar window to
be placed in the reconstructed
Methodist church. The children
will meet at the Terrl Pharmacy In
the morning where they will be
given the tags by the local w. C.
T. U. president, Mrs. A. P. Evans.

tary of the Pittsburg Y. M. G. A.,
gave an interesting sketch of the way
in which the work is conducted in

come in touch with the problems in
many communities and had fund of
helpful ideas.
Mr. Mccullough spoke particularly
of conditions in Tulsa where the Y.

a trained secretary who comes in
close contact with the boys and
young men. He accomplishes much
along the line of summer camp out
ings, general athletics, and moral in
struction all through other organiza-

Bad Auto Accident
Narrowly Averted
Car Turned Over but Passen-
gers Escaped Practically
Without an Injury.

What narrowly escaped being a
serious accident occurred shortly
after noon Sunday when E. G..
Schmidt, president of the Chanute
Business college, and five compan-
ions who were with him in his Ford
car coming east on Main street
were thrown out forcibly by the
yverturning of the car at the curb
in front of the house at 5o8 West
Main. A. Niedermeyer thought at
the time that he was considerably
hurt, but was down town Mon
day but little worse for the cars
plunge. Prof. Schmidt was the
only one of the men who did not
land under the car and he suffered
only bruised finger and torn
clothing. The car-well it's in the
repair shop today.
Prof. Schmidt had been in his
Office over the post office for a short
time in the morning and was pre-
pairing to 60 home in his car when
the men accosted him and asked to
be taken for short ride. He con
sented and they drove out as far as
the west cement plant. On the re-
turn they were moving along slowly
as the rear tire of the car was
punctured and Mr.. Schmidt wished
to be easy with 1t.
Mr.. Schmidt's explanation of the
accident is that two tires blew up
causing the machine to skid and
crash into the curbing on the south
side of the street and break ohe
wheel of the car. Indignant at
such treatment 1t turned turtle and
covered all of the men but Schmidt
who was able to lift the machine
sufficiently to allow the men to
escape. Having crawled from under
the wreckage the men went on their
way rejoicing that the accident had
been no more serious.

FURTHER TIME GRANTED SICGlNS

The ordinance which, granted to
D. H. Siggins, the interurban street
car promoter, an extension of his
franchise for the construction of a
line into Chanute until February
II, 1919 was passed by the council
last evening by the favorable vote of
five members of the council. Johr-
son asked and was granted the
privilege of not voting on the
proposition. In explanation he
stated that he would like to see the
trolley reach Chanute but he was
opposed to granting franchises as
general proposition.
The new ordinance provides fer
some change of the proposed car
line and this feature developed
some opposition. 1t states in con-
nection with the listing of the
streets on which the tracks are to
be laid that the line should 60 north
to Chestnut from Main either on
Highland or Lincoln. All of the
council were in favor of Lincoln
avenue as the route but only Hayes
and Filson opposed the section
concerning the route sufficiently to
vote against the adoption of the
ordinance
Nation explained that the clause
was inserted to protect Siggins in
case it should be entirely impossible
to build the car line across the
Santa Fe track if the grade should
interfere with turning west on
Chestnut from Lincoln avenue.
