A SELF MADE MAN

James Dimmick who purchased the
Frank Marshall farm, a few years
ago, has made many improvements
there, the last being a beautiful and
expensive porch to the house. The
work was done by Clayton Under
hill. 1t is said that Mr.. Dimmick ex-
poets to build for himself fine sum-
mer home on the farm. Mr.. DIM
mick's life story has all the flavor
of romance. He was born and grew
to manhood in this locality. A few
years ago he went to Pennsylvania to
work in the steel mills and being a
natural mechanic rose rapidly in his
chosen work and to day is one of the
large stockholders in the business.
Although he has made big success
financially, he does not forget his
friends who helped him when he was
in less affiuent circumstances and has,
we are told, been very generous in
his treatment of them. His friends
and old neighbors are glad to know
of his successes and hope he may con-
tinue to prosper and may spend many
pleasant days on the farm he pur-
chased, principally, it would appear,
because of its association with his
boyhood days.

SUPER-PROGRAM FOR
CHAUTAUQUA

1t is evident that the Community
Chautauqua System has surpassed it
self in building the program this year.
The. coming of the fine production
"Polly of the Circus" is in itself a
notable advancement over any SINH
lar entertainment of previous years.
This ever-popular comedy-drama of
circus and country life is known
everywhere as the most successful
play ever written by an American
author. Special scenery and effects
accompany this production. From
New York's theatrical circles come
the actors-each carefully selected
player exactly suited to the char
acter he or she is to portray. No ex-
pense has been spared in making
"Polly of the Circus" glorious
Chautauqua attraction.
Other new and decidedly interest
ing features are the Knox Concert
Party; C. w. Wassam, noted edu-
Gator; Omar Wilson Singers; Louis
Williams, electrical entertainer; Den
ton c.. Crowl, the "Sam Jones Man."
Cammarata's Mediterranean Musi-
clans; Louise l.. Mcintyre, health ex-
pert; "Bob" Seeds, farmer-lecturer,
and the Philippine Quartet.
Among the special features we
might mention the novel Junior
Chautauqua which in itself provides
barrels of fun for the kiddies. The
Cruise of the Jollity" and the ad-
ventures of the Jolly Juniors will
make every boy and girl glad there
is a Chautauqua time in our town.
All play and instruction of the chill
dren will be under the careful super
vision of a play-expert sent here from
the Community Chautauqua Offices.
Make the Chautauqua part of
your summer vacation. Hear the
best entertainment and still be near
your home with all it's comforts. A
season ticket for you and other men,
bers of your family will mean saw
ing and a sensible economy, and
you'll be repaid many times over for
the few hours you spend at your COM
munity's tented college.
The dates for Clio are August 20
to September 2, inclusive. -

GEO SCOTT BADLY INJURED

George Scott, a well known farm
er residing a short distance north
west of town, was seriously injured
Monday noon, and narrowly escaped
death through being kicked by a
horse. 1t appears, that the horse was
loose in the barnyard and Mr.. Scott
was endeavoring to prevent it from
passing through gate. While thus
engaged, the horse whirled and kicked
him on the arm, knocking him down,
and when he arose it kicked him
again, this time in the side, fractur-
ing rib. The horse then ran into
the barn and was followed by Mr..
Scott, who attempted to administer
some punishment, whereupon the
horse kicked him again, this time on
the jaw, knocking him senseless. cut
ting cash four inches in length,
loosening his teeth. and infiicting 9TH
er very serious injuries. The in
jured manwas broughtto town, where
he received surgical attention, and
did not completely recover conscious
ness until his return to his home
That he escaped having his neck
broken is almost miraculous and he
owes his life, probably, to the fact
that the horse was not shod. Mr..
Scott is suffering considerable at
present, but it is expected he will
recover within a few weeks.

BUY COAL NOW

F. NJ. Houghton & Co. received the
following communication from jew
EFT, Bigelow q Brooks, of Detroit,
among the largest producers and
shippers of coal in the United States,
and believing the advice sound and
timely, are passing it on to their GUS
TONER'S
"To meet the country's require
ments in soft coal alone, the mines
must produce ten million tons each
week through the year.
They are now producing only a
little over half this amount. They
are falling steadily behind.
"They cannot produce more be-
cause they cannot store it. If they
could mine ahead and store the coal,
the extra handling would mean great
ly increased prices.
"They can produce economically
only what the dealers order. The
dealers can order only as the public
orders from them, as their yards have
comparatively little storage capacity
I'm other words, the mines can
operate only as you-the public-or-
der coal, and thus permit it to move.
In holding up your orders, you hold
up production all along the line.
when fall comes, the mines can
not possibly produce all at once all
the coal that will be needed If the
mines could produce it, the railroads
couldn't haul it. If the railroads
could haul it, the dealers couldn't
handle it.
"There is only one solutioH-THE
COAL MUST MOVE NOW. Your
welfare-the welfare of the COM
munity-of the whole countryside
mands it.
'There are cars now-weather
conditions are favorable-the coal
can be mined, shipped and delivered
If you do the thing that your own
best interests demand. and ORDER
YOUR COAL NOW.
''It was the same a year ago. The
only thing that prevented serious
coal shortage was the very mild win
ter. Even so, there are hundreds
perhaps thousands-who remember
many chilly days when they shivered
in cold houses waiting for coal.
"As to prices, no one knows what
they will be but in past years they
have always been lowest in the spring
and early summer. This is the time
when coal can be mined, shipped and
delivered most economically.
It's DEMAND that sends prices up.
If everyone waits until fall and then
demands coal all at once, prices will
inevitably be higher. We do not be-
lieve they will be lower.
"The dealers want to serve every
one, to deliver coal and at the low
est possible prices. There is only one
way in which it can be done and that
is by your cooperation. Part of the
coal that your town needs must be
delivered before cold weather comes.
This gradual distribution will mean
coal for everyone and the economical
use of labor and time will keep pri-
ces down."
