GIVES HORSE
REINS, SAVED
FROM FREEZING

TT. Yates, N. D.. Jan. 14.-The
story is told how Mrs. John Elk Face
OF Porcupine was saved from serious
freezing and perhaps death BY the
ability of her team to go home un-
guided. The day before New Years
she, with her two children were
driving back to Porcupine from Fort
Yates. When about half way home,
she realized she was freezing.
Wrapping the lines around the front
Of the wagon box she huddled down
in the bottom of the wagon box with
her two children under a couple Of
blankets. The horses, unguided,
reached home in remarkably short
time. Mrs. Elk Face suffered rather
severe frost-bites on her face, hands
and feet.

DU PONT ROAD CELEBRATION
Plans Going Forward To Make 1t a
Monster Occasion At DOver-Many
Autos and Floats In Parade


Plans are being rushed to compile
tiOn for the 7. Coleman DUPONT Road
jubilee, Wednesday, July the 2nd.
Smyrna no doubt will have a goodly
representation of cars in the parade,
but how many floats, if any, has not
been made known. Neither has a
selection been made of the lady who
will represent Smyrna. The execu-
tive committee desires it to be known
that any firm, corporation or individ-
ual having floats for the parade on
the day of the celebration from a dis
tance, shall reach Dover not later
than one o'clock in the afternoon,
standard tine, at the north and south
entrance to Dover and to be met there
by the committee and escorted
through the town. The committee is
also desirous that the several towns
shall select their lady member who
will be the official visitor of that town
on the day Of the celebration. The
committee would Ike to have these
names in their possession as soon as
possible. President Coolidge and mem
bers of his cabinet have been invited
to attend the great celebration at Do
yer on the afternoon of July when
the dupont highway will be formerly
accepted by the State. Already re-
sponses have been received from sew
eral Mayors of adjoining states who
are expecting to be present on July
2, among which is Mayor Kendrick of
Philadelphia. No doubt it will be
big day in Dover and thousands of
cars will be in line to say nothing of
the thousands of spectators that will
go by other conveyances. The Exec
cutive has received instructions rela-
tive to reduced railroad rates on the
day of the celebration, the reduced
rates including not only the main line
of the Delaware Railroad in the State
of Delaware, but also on the Newark,
and Delaware City, Chestertown, Cen
terville, Oxford and Cambridge branch
lines. The baseball game which had
been scheduled between Dover and
Cambridge at Cambridge, Md, on
July 3, has been changed, with the
consent of both clubs, and the game
will be played in Dover at Dover's
baseball park on July 2, the day Of
the celebration. The executive COM
mittee hopes every town in the State
will be represented with decorated
autos and floats. The parade will be
photographed by the Pathe News
Weekly, International News, and Fox
News cameramen. The films will be
shown in Theatres all over the United
Stated, Canada and Foreign Countries

CHAUTAUQUA COMING AGAIN
Thirty GuarantOrs Contract For Five
Day Chautauqua Next Year

Swarthmore Chautauqua 1924 con-
cluded its week of entertainments and
instruction Monday night with the big
prize play, "Their Honor the Mayor"
This three act comedy delighted all
who attended. The Chautauqua will
be with us again next year but only
for five days. Thirty or more guar
antors put over the 1925 contract as
surfing the coming of Chautauqua
again next year. The saving of a
five day Chautauqua over a seven, is
an item worth while and will not
make the burden so great on guar
antOrS. This year each of the hun
dred or more guarantors had $3.50 to
pay outside of their tickets. The de-
felt was due to so many farmers cut
ting out the pleasure this year as we'll
as the fact of an epidemic of whoop-
ing cough that kept so many away.
The tightness of money in agricul-
tural sections together with the de-
preston caused by so much spring
rains, did not put farmers in the mood
for buying either season or strip tick
cts and as many town folks cut down
the number of season tickets for fam
lily use, the deficit was greater this
year than ever before. However,
those who attended Chautauqua reg
ularly at all sessions speak in praise
of the talent. AS one of our Chau-
tauoua enthusiasts said Sunday night,
"to him the Chautauqua left the inn
preston as being higher toned than
ever before" The addresses had
each story of human interest and
the musical and other entertainments
made its impression too. The one
musical treat, however, outstanding
above all others was the recital of
Frances Ingram, the prima donna con-
tralto of the Metropolitan Opera
Company. The children too, for
whom the tent and its attractions
meant so much, had jolly week

WOODLAND BEACH ONE TINE
FAMOUS BAY RESORT IS SOLD
JAMES R. MOTT DISPOSES OF 1T
TO A HARRINGTON SYNDICATE
New Owners Start at Once to Repair
Road Looking to the Restoration
of This Nearby Pleasure Resort


Woodland Beach, one time famous
Delaware Bay resort, nine miles from
Smyrna, promises to be restored to its
place as water resort by a change
of ownership which was effected last
week. James R. Mott the owner, sold
his entire beach front and grove, ex-
tending up as far as Mrs. Annie w.
Campbell's property, including the old
Hotel and Pavilion, both houses and
cottages to a syndicate composed of
Wesley ]. Satterfeld and J. Paul
Harry, Harrington, and Harvey K.
Miller of Bellaire, Md. 1t is not an
nOunced what the consideration was,
but it amounts to several thousand
dollars. The resort, it is reported, is
to be thoroughly renovated and re-
paired, new features added and made
into one of the best and most attrae-
tive places on the shore. 1t is a
known fact there is no better bathing
beach along the Delaware River and
Bay than Woodland Beach. There is
a long sandy strand and most excel
lent bathing. This alone will attract
many. The pier, which has been beat
en- and battered by the tides, will, no
doubt, be fixed up and arrangements
made for excursion boats to make reg
ular trips to the resort. New attrac-
tiOns, it is said, will be added and the
resOrt modernized and put up-to-date.
Woodland Beach is on an island and
part of the deal includes the marsh
road which Mr.. Mott purchased and
built at his own expense. This road
is now being scraped and put in re-
pair. Monday Mr.. Miller, one of the
new owners, met with a serious acci-
dent while operating the scraper
His leg was broken and he was badly
cut. He was hastened to a doctor
where the fracture was reduced. The
road will be leveled up and put in a
state of good repair. Now that Wood
land Beach promises to come back as
a resort, there are many who would
like to see a concrete road from the
Boulevard at Smyrna by way of
Smyrna Landing and Severson's Neck
to the Beach. This road would mean
much to Smyrna and upper Kent
County and would boost the resort
materially. 1t is hardly probable the
resort will get much under way this
year, though the repairs to the marsh
road will attract many picnic and fish
ing and grabbing parties. Most of
this season, it is said, will be taken
up in reconstruction work to make
ready for another season. The an
nouncement that Woodland Beach has
changed ownership and may be re-
stored is looked forward to with in
terest about Smyrna. J. R. Mott, in
the last 80 or 40 years, has spent a
small fortune on the resort and no
sooner had he completed the road than
they were washed out by the high
tides. The road is now permanent
save for surface repairs and the
prospect of restoring Woodland Beach
was never brighter.

He insisted that Miss Lape testify

contention. The stage was all set
and expectancy waited on back
ground. when IL was found nobody
appeared interested. The audience
had all gone over to the Teapot
Dome show. Play to an empty
house? Never. The chairman does
not hesitate to announce that the

the present situation the inquiry
cannot command the attention to

that time people will have so far
