SERVING YoUg COMMUNITY.

What is the modern way of buying?
by catalog and parcel post" some apostles
Of the mail order business viii claim.
But stop and look at the facts.
Take two recently perfected commodities in
general demand. Take two articles sold indis-
putably in the modern way. Take the phono-
graph record and the automobile.
How does the modern purchaser buy records :?
He goes in person to an established local shop,
meets salesman whom he knows personally, in
whose judgment and guarantee he trusts. He
sits comfortably in private room, while the
records are played for him, patiently and re-
peatedly. He notes the lasting merit of many
records He chooses not blindly by catalog num-
Der, but what pleases him personally in the ac-
tual hearing.
That is satisfactory buying. It is thrifty buy
ing. It is the modern way of buying.
And take the automobile. The satisfied
owner is the one who investigated personally be-
fore he bought. He examined each make. Qblig-
ing demonstrators took him and his family out
for trial rides. He was personally shown the best
points of each car When he finally bought, he
bought the car which most completely satisfied
his own personal preferences.
Why are there scores Of makes of automobiles
on the market today? If there were one UNI
uuestionably best nkae, the others would soon
be driven out of business. There is no best make
but there many makes each of which is
best for some particular purpose, for some in
dividual buyer. So it is with every commodity

REVIVE GLoRIEs OF HOLLYWOOD.

All Scotland has been set on edge by receipt
of news that His Majesty has ordered historic
old Hollywood palace in Edinburg overhauled and
cleaned, and that such alterations and improve
ments should be made to render the famous
structure suitable for habtation. The order
has led to the rumor that one of the sons of their
majesties is to be created Duke of Edinburg and
will take up his residence in the old Scottish
capital More probable, however, is the under
standing that the king and queen intend to visit
Scotland this summer and hold levee and
court in Holyrood.
Of royalty Holyrood has seen but little chance
since James VI left it to occupy the throne of
Elizabeth. When King George visited there
soon after his accession to the throne he was the
first reigning king (the second reigning SOW
ereign) to occupy the palace since the time of
Charles /, while Queen Mary was the first Queen
Consort to reside there since Anne, of Denmark,
James WIS queen, quilted its walls. In 1853
Charles was crowned in the chapel royal at
Holyrood, and later he spent about three months
in the palace-not very happily. From that
time till George " visited Ednburg in 1922 no
British monarch crossed its threshold. And
George ~, while holding various state ceremo-
MES in Holyrood, resided in Dalkeith house.
Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort lived
at Dalkeith on the occasion of their first visit
to Edinburg in 1912. In the autumn of 1850,
however, her majesty and Prince Albert resided
for two days in Holyrood and subsequently the
queen, when going to or returning from Bal
moral, several times broke her journey at Edin-
burg and spent night in the palace.
In May, 1908, nine months after their coron-
alton, King Edward and Queen Alexandra went
to Scotland and held a court at Holyrood for the
tlrst time for 80 years. Their majesties did not,
however, take up their residences at the palace,
but occupied Dalkeith House, which was placed
at their disposal by the Duke and Duchess of
BuccIeuch
Although not the oldest cf the Scottish royal
palaces, that of Hollywood is in many respects
the most interesting It appeals to the imagfna-
ton as none other does. 1t has been the scene
OF some of the most splendid the most romantic
and the most tragic incidents in Scottish history
of coronations, royal marriages, festivities
court revels, plots conspracies, feuds, intrigues
assassinations.
It was Holyrood that the lovely Queen of Scots
enjoyed brief period of happiness after her re-
turn from France. There she welded Darnley
Within the palace walls Rizzio was slain, and
there she celebrated her nuptials with the ruff
fanly RothweI
James vi lived chiefly at Holyrood before his
accession to the throne of England He visited
the palace only once afterward Charles I paid
two visits to the palace and James II lived there
twice while ne was Duke of York In 1859 King
Edward VII, while Prince of Wales, lived at
Hollywood while ne was studying, and in 1864
the Duke Of Edinburg, afterward Duke of Sake
CoDurg-Gotha, resided in the palace while he
was attnding Edinburg university.

JENNINGS LOT SALE
T0TALEO s1l,235
WAS A BIG SUCCESS IN EVERY
PARTICULAR
Nearly All Purchasers Were Home
Folk Who Have Faith in
Home Town.

Clio has experienced her first big
auction sale of residence property
and it must be gratifying to all to
know that it was an unqualified sue
cess from start to finish. The land,
as stated in this paper last week
comprised little more than twelve
acres belonging to the Jennings
homestead and was conveniently To-
Gated both as to schools and the
business center of the village. The
Cornet Band was on hand and gave
fine concert and promptly at
three o'clock Col. E. l.. Powers be-
gan the sale, a large crowd being in
attendance.
The first lot sold had frontage
on Mill street of 81 feet and was
bought by F. M. Houghton for even
$5O0.00. Mr.. Houghton also bought
five other lots. Other purchasers
were as follows: A. A. Williams,
two lots; Mrs. M. C. Hurd, four
lots; J. w. Buffum, two lots; Bert
Conlee, two lots; William Conlee,
one lot; August Yeaster, three lots
M. c. Doyle, six lots; Frank Corn
ell, one lot; p. T. Doyle, one lot
Rob Bazukalus, one lot; Mrs. Har-
vey Cummings, one lot; Elmer Jen-
kins, one lot; Floyd Lincoln, one
lot; A. C. Harmon, one lot; Fred
Morgan, one lot; Jack Patterson, one
lot; Horace Haven, one lot; Ed Bur-
Icy, two lots; Charles Matzen, two
lots; Mr.. Sam Brooks, one lot; Pearl
Chown, four lots; Ralph c. Gillette,
two lots; E. S. Tomkinson, one lot.
The fine, large residence, formerly
the Jennings home, was sold to
George Palmer for even $4,000 and
the smaller residence Just north of
it was sold to Flint real estate
man for $1,650. The barn was sold
for $130. AS noted in the heading
of this article, the entire sales to-
tailed $11,235. The small residence
was, we understand, bought back by
Mrs. B. S. Jennings.
Harley Jennings is to be compli-
mented on his enterprise in offer
ing this fine plat for sale at auc-
ton and to be congratulated on the
success which attended his plans. E.
L. Powers, the auctioneer, is also to
be complimented on the masterful
and successful way in which he con-
Quoted the sale. He worked swiftly
and with unfailing good nature and
much of the success which attended
the venture can justly be credited to
him.. He surely enhanced his reputa.
ton as being one of the most sue.
cessful statesmen in this part of the
state.

Full THROUGHOUT
Every Citizen is Urged to Support
This Charming and Distinctively
American Enterprise.

1t is universally conceded that
there is no more charming form of
popular entertainment that is fur
nished by the Chautauquas. Beside
their purely amusement features they
are educational and constructive to
a very marked degree. Further than
this they are economical. Think of
attending fourteen separate and dis
tinct entertainments, all of the
highest class, comprehending musi-
cal numbers, lecturers, readers, dra-
matte impersonators, ETC., etc., all
for $1.65, just about the price of a
reserved seat ticket to a circus. And
for the juvenile members of the fam
lily the price is even more attractive.
They can attend the entire series of
entertainments, with four special ex-
ira sessions for their particular ben
eft, for 85c.
The opening number of the Clio
Chautauqua will be given next We'd
nesday afternoon when the Harry
Bennett Scotch Entertainers will ap-
pear. Mr.. Bennett is Scotchman
and is said to practically double the
personality Of the inimitable Harry

will be equally as entertaining as the

will be lecture on "Perils and

AN INTERESTING TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Blackney, of
Flint, returned a week or so ago
from trip to the Pacific coast,
which included visit to the Yellow
stone National Park, the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado and other points
of scenic beauty in the mountain re-
gion of the west. Mr. Blackney de-
scribes the Grand Canyon as the
most sublime thing in nature that he
has ever witnessed. He says the
tourist is almost unaware of its
presence until he stands upon the
vergs of the great chasm, fifteen miles
across and three miles deep at its
deepest point. The mighty rock for
nations in the canyon, the brilliant
and varied colors with which it is
clothed in it's entirety and, above
all, the immensity of it, renders il
beautiful and fascinating beyond de-
scription. Mr.. Blackney was so i'm
pressed with the Grand Canyon that
he plans to visit it again in the not
distant future.

WANT LARGER SCHOOL

The citizens of Mt. Morris and vi
cinity have called mass meeting
for Monday evening, Aug. IL, to con-
slider the necessity for a new, or at
least enlarged, school building. The
meeting will be held in The Pershing
Theatre, at $3.50 o'clock. The
village has been growing very rapid
ly for the last three or four years
with the result that the present
school house, built twenty or more
years ago, is entirely inadequate to
present requirements. Indeed, it is
said. that it will be impossible to
accommodate fifty or sixty pupils
who will be entitled to admission at
the opening Of the fall term OF
school. Therefore, the lack Of room
is something that will have to be
dealt with without any great delay.
At the meeting Monday evening,
Superintendent Of Public instruction
Thomas E. Johnson will be present
and deliver an address and there will
be short talks by County Commits
sioner j. L. Riegle and others. All
citizens are urged to attend the meet
ing and ask any question they may
desire. A musical program will be
furnished by the Mt. Morris orches-
ira.
