cHAUTAUQUA CLOSES HERE
WITH ROUSING SUCCESS

The 1920 chautauqua for Delta pass
ed into history Sunday evening, with
the largest attendance on record ex-
cepting 1919.
It's over, and the long line of tall
ented women and men who helped to
make life pleasanter for the hundreds
in and about this city, have gone on
to scatter gladness to thousands of
others equally anxious to be entertain
ed and instructed
Contrary to the usual procedure, the
Horner company this year gave their
best programs at the close of the sea-
son, starting with programs of high
calibre and increasing with import
ance and interest each program thru
out. In the writer's opinion the enter
tainments Friday Saturday and Sun
day night equalled any program ever
given here at any time.
The play. Nothing But the Truth,
Friday evening. held the audience
tense for nearly two hours. Each per-
former was a genuine artist and there
was not a dull moment thruout.
Seldom is one privileged in small
town to hear real grand opera, but
CHdTieS r. f1OTHef special company
of twenty finished artists was all that
could be expected anywhere. They
rendered a wonderful program both
afternoon and evening, and not too
much can be said about their enter
tainment
The closing night. Sunday, was fully
up to standard. This was called the
Joy Night program, and rightly so.
Miss Lillian Sellers. proved herself
a remarkable entertainer and kept
her audience interested throughout.
Owing to the death of his son, Jesse
Pugh, famous humorist, was unable to
be here, but the program was of a
high order and while his absence was
distinct disappointment, those who
attended this last night were fully sat
isfied.
The local crew and equipment went
to Lexington. Nebraska.
Delta will have 1921 chautauqua,
over the required 100 guarantors hav-
ing signed up for next year. There is
a surplus in the treasury of about $3.50
from this years receipts.

 POLES BY ALLIES
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

SPA, Belgium, July 10.-The Polish question was the subject of a conversa- ton yesterday between Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Premier Millerand of France, the two prime ministers considering what, if any thing, could be done to help the Poles in their present military difficulty
 Premier Lloyd George is understood to have said that in view of the agree ment just concluded between Great Britain and the Russian soviet gov ernment, he did not feel disposed to do anything more than give diplomatic support to the Poles. Premier Mile rand is reported as having replied that this being the case France could not go further.
 The note of the Polish government respecting peace with the Moscow gov ernment was received today by the Polish delegation here to be communi- cated to the allied premiers. It was stated by those connected with the delegation, however, that the note, which was in code, had been so muti- lated in transmission by telegraph that the delegation could not determine what it really contained.

 1OO HOMELESS

GLOBE, July 10-Fire swept Grover Canyon this afternoon destroying more than 100 houses and rendering as many families homeless, entailing loss of approximately $30,000.
 The fire was caused by an over heated stove. There is an unverified rurnor that two children lost their lives. The Red Cross has taken charge of the work of succor.
 Grover Canyon is outside the city limits of Miami. six miles southwest of here, and it was difficult to get fire apparatus there. Miami volunteer de- partment and Inspiration Copper com pany's apparatus were soon on the scene. however, and made desperate efforts to check the spread of the flames. A high wind was blowing and the tarred shacks caught one after the other until the entire settlement was ablaze.
 Long lines of hose were laid from the distant hydrants and the firemen went into the raging inferno into the mar row canyon and sent streams of water on either side of the range Of houses. The pressure was low and despite their efforts the fire continued to spread until it seemed as if nothing could save Lower Miami After some hours of fighting the fire was stopped at the east end of the canyon. Hundreds of women and children were camped upon the hills watching the destruction of their homes.
 The fire caught many of the mine workers. mostly Mexicans, asleep in their shacks and it was a miracle that some of them were saved. The scenes in the vicinity resembed the refugee camps at Nogales when things were popping on the other side of the border.

 IF STEEL MILLS
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July 1O-A Shut- down of steel mills is threatened be- cause of car shortage, representatives of more than a score of steel manufac- turers today informed the interstate commerce commission. Daniel Will lard, chairman of the advisory com mittee of the Association of Railway Executives. who also appeared before the commission, was equally inSistent that any general suspension of industry would be aVerted and that improve ment was possible in the steel trade.
 T believe there will not be any general shutdown of industry" de- clared MT. Willard. ''The situation, l believe, will not get any worse, and believe we can make it better
 A half score witnesses appeared at the closing session of the commissions hearing on possible modification of it's order requiring preference to be given coal mines east of the Mississippi in the assignment of open top cars. No indication of the commissions prob able action was given at adjournment.
 Addressing the shippers, Chairman Clark declared the commission real ized ''the utter impossibility" of pleas ing all of them, but he urged that they follow the suggestion of MT. Willard to attempt solution of car service through cooperation between them and the railroad officials,
 Can Move Building Materials
 By the shippers and the railroads acting through local car service com mittees, MT. Willard expected it would not be necessary to prevent all move ment of building material and that that material should be moved for highway repairs, maintenance and construction of essential connecting road links. Such transportation, he anticipated, could be had on the return movement of the open top equipment to the mines.
 The other witnesses in their testi- mony pointed to the necessity of rushing coal to northern Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, while lake transportation was available. MT. Willard described the coal movement to that territory as the most disturbing problem" at present. asserting that 25.000,000 tons must be moved by way of the Great Lakes be- ! fore the close of navigation.
 Plans for the movement of the coal to this territory will be considered at a meeting of coal operators here Mon day and Tuesday. and by the railway | executives at New York, Wednesday. | MT. Willard told the commission he | hoped the plans, developed by these | conferences, would not require new emergency orders from the commission | to insure the coal movement, but, if necessary, he said he would ask for orders late next week.
