BOOST THE CHAUTAUQUA

At the last evening entertainment
of last years Chautauqua, the large
audience that packed the big tent
voted unanimously to engage the
Redpath Chautauqua, for this year.
The Chautauqua is only a week
away, and when the ladies who are
selling season tickets come to you, be
ready to back up your vote by purchas
ing tickets. The best way to show the
G Chautauqua Committee that you ap-
preciate the fine entertainments and
educational benefits, is to buy your
tickets early and boost the program.
The arduous work of ticket-selling is
done without compensation.
At a meeting of the ladies on Fri
day night, it was decided that one
half of the net proceeds be given to
the Medina County Red Cross society.
The Chautauqua programs this year
are better than ever. Twenty-Five en-
tertainments for $500; children 6 to
Ia, $1.00.
The Chautauqua will be held two
weeks later this year, in order to ac-
commodate the farmers, who with the
rush of the harvest time over, can en-
joy to the utmost this week of pleas
ure and educational uplift.

CRESTON MAN IS
SUICIDE IN AKRON

Warren Steele of Creston, former
Cleveland & Southwestern motorman,
committed suicide in his room in a
boarding house in Akron Monday af-
ternoon.
His body was discovered by his land
lady, who at once notified Steele's
room mate, Harrison Barnes. 1t was
found that he shot himself through
the temple, and probably died instant
ly. No cause is assigned for the deed,
as, so far is known, he had no troub-
les.
He is survived by a wife and four
children in Creston, and his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin Steele. The
eldest child is 16 years and the young
est six years. Mr.. Steele is also sur
yived by brother, Clarence Steele.
The deceased was about 40 years Of
age, and had been in Akron year.
He had worked in the Goodyear rub
Der plant the past six months.
Mr.. Steele was motorman on the
Cleveland & Southwestern from the
time the road was built until about
18 months ago, and was well known
in Medina. He was very highly re-
garded, and had many friends.
Funeral services were held at the
home in Creston, Thursday at
o'clock.

were started around here few months
ago, from which untold bushels Of
huge tubers mere predicted from the
8x8 rail bins.
Charley HObart's, although appar-
emily the most promising, is not caus-
ing any perceptible jubilation Oh the
part Of its owner, and Dwight Hol-
combs vines, for the most. part, adorn
but the summit Of the bin. X. D.
Fildes, who constructed two bins dis
mantled one Of them several w.cks
ago, and says that he is not anticipat-
ing an over-production from the other.
Vines are in evidence in all the bins,
and we gather that that is abou5 all
that is expected from the harvest.
