OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD

John Shell, the oldest man in the
world, was the guest of Harlan Tues
day and held a levee at the Kelly
Hotel all afternoon and evening re-
ceiving callers by the score.
Mr.. Shell, who lives Just over the
Harlan County line In Leslie, was
born in Tennessee In 1888, and at
the present time is 100 years Of age.
his 131st birthday occurring the
18th of next month.
He is the father Of eleven children
all living, by his first wife. with
whom he lived nearly one hundred
years. He was married the second
time five years ago and has four
year old daughter by his second wife
His oldest living child is son 81
years of age. He resided in the
same house in Leslie County for 81
years.
In company with r. B. Roberts,
Commonwealth Attorney Of Hyden,
Mr.. Shell rode horseback twelve
miles over Pine Mountain in order
to take the train here Wednesday
for Lexington where he will be one
of the chief attractions at the Blue
Grass Fair next week.
In order to give the reader bet
ter idea of the span Of life passed
by this aged man. we might state
that he was eleven years of age
when George Washington died.
For a man of his great age he is
very active, and up to two years ago
worked hard every day. He is in
telligent and has all his faculties,
with a wealth of snow white hair,
and readily converses on any topic.
He is a typical rugged mountain
man and has the distinction Of be-
ing the oldest man in the entire
world. There is no question of this
being true as he has proven many
times. Harlan Enterprise.

Noted Filipino
Serenaders Are
Coming Here

Domingo's Filipino Serenaders, di-
rect from Manila and their first Amer
lean tour is the attraction at the Au-
ditorium Tuesday, November 4th
presenting the big musical South Sea
Island Fantasy, "a Night in the Phil
ippines," with all special scenery and
electrical effects. Each and every
member of the company in a native
Filipino and Mr.. Domingo made a
special trip to Manila and selected a
company of artists and since their
tour started in this country il has been
the biggest success of any attraction
of any kind that has ever toured this
country. The company is under the
personal direction of Mr.. Domingo
and you will hear their haunting Fill
Pine and Hawaiian melodies, suggest,
ing the love and romance of life in
the languorous Paradise of the Pa
cifc. Since coming to this country
five years ago, Mr. Domingo has play
ed with some of the greatest must
clans in the country. Maud Powell
said: at will only be a short time
until he will be recognized as the
worlds greatest violinist." In bring
ing this company to this country it is
Mr. Domingo's ambition to travel and
be introduced to the American people
to show them what the Filipino looks
like. Filipinos love music, flowers,
art and so on, they have plenty to
spread in their adopted profession
and they believe in American system
1t isn't necessary to go to the Phil
ippines to see them. They will appear
in your city and this will be your only
chance to see them.
Another big feature is Minda, Fill
Pine and Hawaiian dancer.

BEET SUGAR SURPLUS
KEEPS WOLF FROM DOOR
Czechoslovakia Better Supplied
> With Food Than Other
European Countries.

PRAGUE, August 10 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-By
careful conservation and organization
of food supplies Czechoslovakia can
weather the winter safely. in the
opinion Of the American food experts.
who have been surveying the coun-
try. In fact, Czechoslovakia, partic-
ularly Bohemia, IL said to be a good
deal better of than most Of eastern
Europe. Her crops will run from 60
to 70 per cent Of normal. and Of Ger
tain valuable commodities she admit
teddy has some for export in return
for more needed supplies, such as raw
materials, notably cotton.
She has appreciable quantities of
oats. barley and hops that can be
spared, as well as some sugar and
coal, and these last two commodities
are felt to be about the most precious
in Europe. In return she wants
wheat flour and cotton. Her spin
ming industry is at standstill, and
experts claim that she needs approx
mately a hundred thousand bales of
cotton to supply her own needs in
textiles.
The oversupply of beet sugar is
Czechoslovakia's big and valuable
asset and gives her a strategic posi-
ton in Europe. The general situation
here is reassuring to the American
experts, and while there will be de-
privation, they believe that with a
well organized control of foods and
close economy there will be no real
suffering this winter.
