is to be decided to the NJ. E. church,
south, on which they will erect build
ings and establish large school.
1t is the purpose Of Mr.. Findlay to
divide the 1000 acres into forms of
| 100 and $50 acres, build house ald
barn, put down a well and clear a
few acres of land and then sell thosr
farms to persons on long time. He
is very enthusiastic about the devel-
opment of this country and is not the
kind of man who shouts about need
and at the same time waits for the
other fellow to supply that need
He considers carefully before he
acts, but once he "puts his hand to
the plow he never turns back" This
property fronts on what is known as
the Genesis road and the Dixie Short
Route, and is as good farming land
as there is in the county. Its close
proximity to the County High School
at Crossville, and the church school
that is to be built, makes it most ad-
mirably situated for farms and
homes.
Aside from the foregoing, he has
now under consideration the pur-
chase of a large boundary of coal
and timber land that will reach close
to the city limits on the south.
Should he acquire it, which now
seems very probable, it is likely he
will inaugurate method of develop
ment that will result in many more
small farms being opened up on this
property within the next few years.
We know Of no person coming TO
this section who has done or promises
to do much. of really helpful char
acteY for this section as Mr.. Findlay.
That he expects to make money out
of his developments he would not
pretend to deny. That he is entitled
to make money no one would pre-
tend to deny. But the greater out /
standing feature-SO far as Cross !
vile and the county is concerned
is that his business ventures and -
velopment plans will prove and are !
now proving OF great benefit to tins |
section as a whole. This section |
would be greatly benefited if more
men of his type would come among |
us and as our people learn to know
him their respect and admiration Tor |
the man grows. He should receive
the most hearty encouragement from
our people and we feel confident he
will receive it.
John Q. Burnett is in charge of
his timber work here as general man
2ger. Mr.. Burnett is well known to
our people, enjoys their confidence
and is so well vcrsed in land and
.imber that he is very valuable
nan for Mr.. Findlay. He is heart
and soul in sympathy with this sec
ion and will gladly lend every pos
;ible encouragement to any move
nest that points a broader, more
'apid and more substantial develop
nent.

OBJECT OF THE CHAUTAUQUA.
True AmeriCanism to Be Fully Explained
by Very Able Speakers.

The purpose of our Radcliffe
Chautauqua this year is to tell the
story of the United States Govern
ment and its ideals. The reason for
the adoption of such a program is
apparent when one considers the
condition of national unrest, and the
committee in charge of the Radcliffe
Chautauqua programs, in Washing
ton, D. c., has decided that a thor
ough understanding of the funda-
mental principles of Americanism is
necessary to the proper adjustment
of the mony problems troubling US
today. A large number of speakers
have been secured for this purpose,
and three are assigned to each Chau-
tauqua. The Chautauqua Directors
will lecture on the second day, but
there will be different speaker for
each of the other two days, and the
probabilities are that the following
men will be assigned to us:
PROF E. MARION RUCKER, of
South Carolina. Chair of Constitu-
tional Law, University of South Car
olina, Legislator and Lecturer.
DIR. HENRY T. COLESTOCK, of
Pennsylvania. Chair of History,
Bucknell University. Author and
Lecturer.
These men are all splendid speak
ers, and have had great deal of eX-
perience n public work. They come
to the Gil 'uit directly from confer
ence at v lshington, D. c., and their
lectures ne will be worth the price
of the seal IN ticket. The good which |
ought to suit from the presenta-
tion of tn 5 Amercanization program
here cannot be estimated, and it is
hoped that every. one in the commun-
ity who can possibly do so will ar
range to attend all of the Chautau-
qua sessions.
HAZEL KNOX CONCERT CO.
The Hazel Knox Concert Company
is composed of three splendid musi-
clans from Baltimore, and is sure to
give two of the most enjoyable pro-
grams of the Radcliffe Chautauqua
which is soon to be here. The COM
panv is headed by Miss Hazel Knox,
who is a soprano singer and reader
of extraordinary talent, and hyr
presence alone with this company is
sufficient to make it one of the most
popular of the entire three days.
With this company, however, are two
other musicians who are very dese:v.
ing of the honors and regulations
thew have received from the musical
critics of the East. Mr.. Herbert
Bangs, violinist, from the Peabody
Symphony, and Mr.. Anderson Mo
bray, concert pianist, will be with
Miss Knox, making trip which can
hardly be surpassed on the Chau-
lua platforms of any circuit.
The Radcliffe Chautauqua System
with headquarters in Washington,
D. c., has assured the local commit
zee that all the entertainment NUM-
1ers will be of a very high standard,
and that each one will be worthy Of
he attention of the people of our :
community. The committee there :
ore feels that it should urge the {
purchase of the season tickets in Or =
Ter that each one Of the community !
Who can possibly do so may get the :
ul benefit of the entire three days :

HITS AT POLICE.
w. I'll. HumaSOn Resents Chiefs
Taxi Driver Attitude.
Questions "History" of Mem
bers Of City Force.

Asserting that it was time for some
one with sufficient nerve to call Chief
Harmon on his alleged attack on To-
peka taxi drivers. w. H. Humason, a
local taxi driver, this morning asked
pertinent questions"
'tChief Hannah said that the taxi
men were a bunch of ex-convicts, ex-
bootleggers and police characters and
that large per cent of crime in To-
peka could be blamed on them"
Humason declared.
1T may be so-in a measure" he
added. "Out of the 125 or more taxi
dFivers in Topeka. there may be some
to whom this applies. I am sure of it.
But on the other hand. I am just as
sure that the same situation prevails
in his own police department. The
names he called the taxi drivers will
fit some of his own policemen just as
well as they fit us. There would be no
use in naming them for there are hun
dreds of men in Topeka who know it
is true and know the men just as well
as we do.
another thing not generally
known" Humason asserted. sis that
some of his policemen drive taxis in
hours they are off their beats There
fore he must include these men IN the
things he applies to us.
Different Two Years Ago.
"Two years ago Hannah went
around patting US drivers on the back
and telling US we were fine fellows"
Humason stated. HE was trying to
sell US patent locking devices to pre-
vent our cars from being stolen. He
was also retreading tires Sure we
were fine fellows when he had some-
thing he was trying to sell us.
1T looks now" Humason stated,
that he is trying to put the small
operator. the men driving their. own
cars as a means of earning a living.
clear out of business in favor of the
big fellows
Did anyone ever stop to think that
a large number of men who have been
in trouble would do right if given
chance. I can say for sure that L
know a number of men who are try
ing their best, if Hannah would only
give them a chance. Now aside from
whatever may be true of the taxi
drivers recollect that the same thing
is true on the police force There are
men on the police force who sold
whisky. 1 could find a large num-
Der of men who have bought whisky
from them. Why doesn't the chief of
police begin his missionary work in
his own crowd?"

TEST AUTO HEADLIGHTS
Schoch Introduces Safety Bill Before
Senate Today.

Establishment of an automobile
headlight testing station by the secre-
tary of state is provided for in a bill
prepared in the senate by SchecIrs of
Shawnee.
The same bill provides for estab-
lishment OF, similar testing stations in
all cities of the state. An automobile
owners liability for Noncompliance
with the headlight provisions estab-
Hshed in the same bill depends upon
the results of such tests which may
be made at any time police officers
desire.
Under provisions of the bill, auto
headlight statesmen may go before the
secretary of state with their head
lights and have them tested. The
passage of such test may be adver-
tised to owners and assurance against
arrest and prosecution for improper
headlights may thereby be vested in
owners with lights that have passed
the state test
The bill makes the use of all daZ-
zling headlights or spotlightS illegal
on any highway in the state. 1t makes
it compulsory for all lights to throw
their rays no more than forty-two
inches above the ground, seventy-five
feet in advance of the ma chine.
The headlight tests and other fea-
lures of the bill are those recommend
ed by the National Association of
Automobile Engineers.
