CHAUTAUQUA AT
LESLIE CLOSES
'Americanization' Key
note OF Programs
Next Year Arranged

LESLIE, March 23.-The people
of Leslie and the surrounding coun-
try have enjoyed having for the sec
ond season the Radcliffe Chautauqua,
which was held here March 1920
%.
'Americanization" was the key
note of each program, giving to all
clearer understanding of what it
means to be a citizen of the United
States of America and a clearer Wis
ion of a citizens obligation as well
as his rights. Several very interest
ing and instructive lectures were
given, those in the afternoon being
devoted to Building a Community"
and in the evenings to Building a
Nation"
The music played a large part in
the programs, being rich in quality
and of endless variety, by both native
and foreign musicians. The readers,
impersonators and humorists possess
ed just the art to delight and amuse.
A small group of citizens have
entered into a contract to bring the
chautauqua back to Leslie again next
year and the community heartily en-
dorses their action. The community
will look forward with great antici-
patton to the coming of the chautau-
qua in 1921.

1t is stated that the Willys-Over-
land Canadian Company has been re-
organized during the past year with
increased capital, and is now turn

1t is also stated that the WHY'S
Overland Company's plant in Man
chester, England, will have capacity
for manufacturing $4,000 cars per
year by the end of 1920.
Production at the WHY'S Overland
plant ait Toledo is now in excess of
500 cars per day, and that produc-
ton it is expected will reach 800
cars per day within short time.
Inasmuch as the demand for the
new product is increasing steadily,
and is in excess of present production

HAWKINS CASE
DECISION HERE
Text of Ruling Being
Read With High
Interest

The text of the supreme court de-
cision in the appeal from Sumter
county in the case of Hawkins, ct la
VS.. Hawkins, ct al, from the decision
of Judge Littlejohn Of the Superior
court, affirming his ruling, has been
received here and is being read with
a great deal of interest by the attor-
news and others interested in the
case. The headnotes of the decision,
which contain the essence Of 1t, are
reproduced here:
81. Where a husband purchases
property at the request and direction
of his wife as a home for her, with
the money which is her separate es-
tate, and takes the title in his own
name, but recognizes, until his death,
the property so purchased as that of
his wife, he will be deemed to have
held it in trust for her, in the alb
sence of direct evidence showing that
his wife intended to make gift or
lend the money to her husband.
20. Where, during the lifetime of
the wife, the husband sells a portion
of the property so purchased, and
expends the proceeds of the sale in
improvements on the remaining por-
ton, he will be deemed to have ex-
pended the money in improvements
on the trust estate as such, and not
as asserting claim adverse to his
costui que trust.

testate, before that of the husband,
her property descends to her hus-
band and children as heirs at law, as
