! There has been much comment
throughout the United States CON
corning the questions recently put BY
Thomas A. Edison to applicants fol
| positions with his company at West
| Orange, n. i. Because several col
| lege graduates were unable to answer
more than half of the questions, Mr.
| Edison said college men are amazing
| ly ignorant"
The bulk of opinion seems to be ar
rayed against Mr.. Edison, most BUSH
ness men and newspaper writer's con-
tending that the ability to answer the
, list is no criterion of persons ability
| to hold down a job. Many have said
that education trains one to know
where to get information instantly

answers of many difficult questions in
ones head.

James Madison, who was Jefferson's
secretary of state, was the possessor
of one of the finest lawmaking intel
lects of the time which, in the nations
beginnings, called for talent of that
nature. His experience in legislative
work began early, in his native Vir-
ginia, which ut the age Of Is he helped
to draft state constitution. His
craftsmanship soon had a broader
field as a delegate to the continental
congress-, where he opposed the sur
render to Spain of our rights upon the
Mississippi and advocated a tariff for
revenue. On his return to the Virginia
legislature in 1884 he accomplished
one Of his most important purposes,

became the Rector Of Trinity Church,
Paris, France. At the outbreak of
the World War he took the leading
part in relieving distressed American
citizens who were in France, and in
getting them out of that country.

The Rt. Rev. c. S. Hawks made
several visits to Mexico during the
Civil War. A clergyman by the
name of Worthington celebrated the
Holy Communion and baptised five

charge Of the work in Mexico and
held services about once a month.

Cartnell were the first couple mar
ried in our town by a clergyman of

C~hautauqua Co.
Must Pay City
Amusement Tax

According to a city ordinance pass
ed by the City Council on August %,
1920, the Chautauqua here is required
to pay an amusement tax of one cent
on each ticket sold either single adj
mission or season ticket. The ordin-
ance provides that records shall be
kept Of the number of tickets sold so
that the amount payable to the city
may be ascertained.
The amount of money which the
city will collect from the Chautauqua
company by this ordinance will not
be very great, however, as most of
thetickets sold will be season tickets,
and will be subject only onee to the
tax.

with stitching and perforations. The
we!ted extension sole and very low.

golf or for any tramping or walking
expedition. Such oxfords have leather
soles and heels or rubber soles and
heels, or leather soles with heels OF

though the shoe Is exauisitely soft and
