How America Has
Captured Ada Ward

! Here is one of the unusual things in
the annals Of American speaking.
A practically unknown woman
comes to our shores. She makes a
speech. It was like a match in pine
shavings. Next day she must make
two. Presently all her days I'LL up.
Just a little while and she is known
and talked about, and today one Of
the busiest speakers in the world.
1t was this way:
She was a frail little woman by the
name of Ada Ward. She had been en-
tertaining in her native England, and
England sent her to entertain the
British Army. She took her blackboard
from camp to camp, hospital to hospi-
tai, and the soldiers sainted her.
And then she came to the United
States. The people who heard her
laughed, wept and cheered. Then they
rushed to their phones to get her to
speak more places where their friends
could hear her.
She is made Of sympathy, love and
cheer, and so we are to be considered
quite fortunate in having the privil-
ege of hearing Ada Ward at Chautau-
qua.

Isaiah Ellingsworth of Philadelphia
spent few days in Milton last week
Observing that the machinery al
his grist mill was slowing up, Fred
X. Jensen, of Reynolds Mills, near
town, went to the wheel pit and found
that large black bass was wedged in
the water wheel in such a way as to
prevent the usual amount of water to
pass, thus slowing up the mill. He
succeeded in extracting the fish and
found it weighed ten pounds and one
ounce, the largest black bass ever
caught in this section. He brought it
to Milton and placed it on exhibition
at S. Fithian's store.
H. Ernest Conwell removed two

town and New Jersey resorts this

gerald, that operated here last sum-

Peas never looked so good in this
section than now, and the prospect for
a bumper crop is assuring to the
growers, provided that the pea louise
does not injure the crop as last year.
So far there is no evidence of their
return, although the cool nights and
excessive rains of May was claimed
last year to be the cause of their ap-
pearance. Those conditions certainly
have obtained this spring.
