NO FOUNDATION TO RuMoR

The management of the Chau-
tauqua Association has request
ed the Times Record to correct
an erroneous impression which
some people have gained regard
ing an alleged epidemic of dis
ease at the Chautauqua Park.
Secretary Kari states that last
week there was one case of
scarlet fever at the Assembly.
Following the removal of the pa
tient, the tent was thoroughly
fumigated at once, and later was
burned with everything in it.
There have been no further cases
and the precautions taken at
once following the removal of
the patient make minimum Of
danger for future cases.

present. Not section of the state has
escaped and the first week in no form
er July ever brought such favorable
conditions for a bountiful yield as at
present exist in this state.
While the wheat acreage has been
somewhat reduced this year, the pros
poets for a good yield will insure more
wheat than in normal years. Other
crops with the exception of potatoes
and corn in lowlands, in the Valley are
in fine condition. Rye is in especially
fine shape.

Bright, warm, sunshiny weather,
and the grounds and park of the Chau-
tauqua Assembly poisoning with the
happy faces of children and older peo-
pie, and the promise of tremendous
crowds from now on bids fair to be
fulfilled. The weather prediction is
for fair weather on Friday and cooler
and if this holds through Saturday and
Sunday, the Assembly will undoubted-
ly see the record crowds in the history
of the association.

the man who comes to the farm and
tells the farmer his methods are all

at least 100000 bushels of grain will
go down the lakes from this port with

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

At A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
directors OF the Hebrew Home for
Aged and inhrm. held Monday. Jan
uary 26, 1914, the following resolu-
lions were adopted:
When God. I'm His wisdom, took
Isaac Held unto Himself, sad indeed
were our hearts. Isaac Held was as
ISOLATED with the active management
OF tho affairs OF the Hebrew Home
for Aged and Intirm since its inccp-
ton. and none contributed more gem
crously OF their time and substance
than he; therefore we face his death
with feelings Of deepest grief. Not
alone do his associated officers recog-
nizc their personal bereavement, but
the benehciaries of the Home lose
an active. loving friend. who was
ever gentle and kind in ninistering
to their wants.
Therefore lie Il resolved: First,
That we feel that in the death OF our
lnmented secretary, Isaac Held. the
Home has sustained great sorrow
and an irreparable loss.
Second. That our sympathy pours
forth to his bercaved wife. children
and loved ones.
Third. That this expression Of our
deepest grief be spread upon our rec
ords and copy thereof be trans
rnittcd to the family. and also pub
lished In the daily papers.
