Mrs. Cady chewed gum while she
rocked herself to knitting in her
home. Where Mrs. Cady went she
always took her rocking chair and
her chewing gum. Oh, mercy yes!
Dear Homer Cady was SO weak in
the knees that the poor old thing
couldn't wear a wrist watch larger
than :, town clock in a tower. And
his tie! Oh, Homer's tie was some
tie. There is enough cloth in
Homer's tie to cover the Covered
Wagon
And when dear Sister Gladys was
to be married, she shimmed while
a doctor tied the knot to jazz time.
And the groom! oh. mercy me the
would be husband. He was dressed
in a plug hat and a bathrobe.
And. speaking of Gladys, her wed
ding veil was about four miles in
length, more or less. The groom was
poor nut of a composer who
wanted to write highbrow sympho-
MES full Of kings, queens, moonlight
and good little fairies. His name is
Neil MacRae and to escape writing
jazz music about hot potatoes and
hotter gravy, Neil decided to sell
himself as the husband to the SHIN
my shaking Gladys.
Gladys just had to have a celeb
rity in the family because her fam
lily was one grand mess. But before
Neil SOLD himself" he had a dream
about this family.

GARY UNIONS
Plan Drive to Organize
$4,000 Steel Workers

By international Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind.-The Lake Coun-
ty Central Labor Union with head
quarters at Gary, has outlined plan
for the unionizing of the $4,000 steel
workers of the Calumet district as a
part of the nationwide campaign to
be launched by the American Fedora
tion of Labor to organize the unor-
ganized workers.
1t is said that survey shows that
approximately $4,000 of the steel
workers in the Calumet district live
at Gary, East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor.
Fred Detrick, president of the Lake
County Central Labor Union, says
that about 10000 steel workers live
at Gary and work for the United
States steel corporation. Out of this
number perhaps 500 belong to labor
union.
Labor leaders in the Calumet dis
trict have carefully made their plans
for the organization work and hope
to show considerable progress in the
work of unionizing.

CHAUTAUQUA
Opens at Fairgrounds Sun
day for Five Days
Program

The Hamilton Chautauqua opens
Sunday afternoon at the Butler
county fairgrounds with an especially
attractive program and will continue
for five days, afternoon and evening.
1t is believed by those connected
with the affair that the programs of
music, lectures, etc, will far surpass
any previous lyceum entertainment
ever brought to Hamilton.
On the program are to be found
many and interesting bits, not only of
entertainment but among them some
of the greatest educational features
in the Chautauqua world
The proceeds of the Chautauqua go
to the scholarship funds for worthy
children. The officers are: A. B.
Heath, president; w. w. Goodwin, vice
president; Robert G. Taylor, secre-
tary; Miss Marie Shuler, treasurer.

tanned in the gas; that is, it would re-
quire approximately Gu. fit. of gas
of a caloric value of 500 to perform
the same work that can be done with
Gu. ft. of gas of caloric value of
900 B. T. US.
As to Rates
We are advised that the city of
Hamilton proposes to charge 60 cents
per thousand GU ft. for the gas which
the Hamilton Furnace Company pro-
poses to furnish, and that it will
charge rs cents per thousand Gu. ft.
for the gas which the Columbia Gas
& Electric Company proposes to fur
nish. 1t therefore follows that for
household and other consumers of gas
in Hamilton, it would take approx
mately $1.20 worth of the manufac-
tured gas to equal rs cents worth of
the natural gas. This is based on
our understanding that the gas the
Hamilton Furnace Company will fur
nish will be approximately $50 B. I.
US, whereas the gas of the Columbia
Gas & Electric Company will be ap-
proximately l, ,080 F. T. US.
End. The substitution of manufac-
tured for natural gas will make it
necessary for those families in Ham
ilton who are now using gas in their
furnaces for heating their homes, to
abandon gas as fuel and substitute
some other form of fuel, as we do
not believe that having been accus-
toned to the cheap fuel that the citi-
zens of Hamilton have enjoyed, they
would be willing to pay the higher
bills which they would be faced with
if the manufactured gas at the price
above quoted obtains.
Conversion of Ranges
3rd. We understood that the Ham
ilton Furnace Company is willing to
pay for the cost of converting the
present natural gas burning cooking
ranges so that their manufactured
gas can be used in them AS manu-
facturers of gas ranges, we know
that while this can be done, the
same efficient and satisfactory re-
suits cannot be obtained on a con
verted range as there are many feat
ures of construction in natural gas

Scopes was indicted by special
session of the grand jury, which a
Judge may call, according to statute,
only in an emergency. Lawyers make
the point that the Scopes offense is
misdemeanor, and that this does not
constitute an emergency. The legal
80 days notice required for special
session was not given. If all legal
requirements were fulfilled, these
lawyers say, Scopes could not have
been indicted until August.
Judge Raulston's opponents also
charge him with expressing opinions
of the trial, and publicly declaring
that he favors the law.

Herewith is letter to Howard E.
Kelly and members of city council,
relative to the gas situation here, by
The Estate Stove Co., written by B.
B. Kahn, treasurer:
We have read in the local news
papers the report submitted to you
by the committee of citizens ap-
pointed for the purpose of investigat-
ing the proposed propositions for the
sale of gas to the city, submitted by
the Columbia Gas & Electric Com
pany and the Hamilton Furnace Com
pany.
We feel that the gratitude of the
people of Hamilton is due this COM
mittee who have evidently labored so
conscientiously to solve this problem.
assisted the committee in arriving
at their conclusions had we been
called upon. Our reason for making
this statement is the fact that we
have been manufacturing and selling
gas burning appliances for nearly 40
years, and are therefore familiar with
gas conditions, both in the natural and
manufactured gas fields throughout
the United States, and we believe that
our experience would have been of
material assistance to the committee
in reaching their conclusion.
Largest Consumer
AS the largest individual gas con-
sumer in the city of Hamilton and
being vitally interested in the well
fare of the city, we feel that we
would be remiss in our duty if we
did not advise you as to our views
on this very important subject. After
having considered the matter from
every possible angle, we have come
to the conclusion that the welfare
and interest of the city will be best
promoted by continuing the supply
of natural gas, and our reasons for
coming to this conclusion are as
follows:
1st Based on our long and prac-
tical experience with natural and
manufactured gas burning appliances,
we have found that the amount of gas
required for a certain baking or cook
ing operation is approximately in di-
rect proportion to the B. 7. US con-

connection with an institution of its

9Th. We have yet to hear of COM
munity having a reliable supply Of
natural gas that voluntarily gave it
up for manufactured gas, but we dc
know of cases where a good supply
of manufactured gas was given UP
in order to obtain a good supply of
natural gas. A nearby example of
this is the city of Cincinnati which
was buying manufactured gas at ap-
proximately 60 cents per thousand
and gave up this supply in order to
obtain natural gas. We have never
heard of Cincinnati expressing a de-
sire to go back to manufactured gas.
See Complaint
9Th We feel certain that if the
change is made in Hamilton substi-
tuting manufactured gas for natural
gas, householders will have very
serious complaint on account of the
cost of operating their appliances
compared with what they have been
accustomed to, and that as a conse-
quence thereof, much disappointment
and dissatisfaction will ensue.
10th. The fact that the city of Ham
ilton is supplied with natural gas in
abundant quantity and with good serv-
ice. will be a help to the city in
attracting new industries to Hamilton
to an extent which we believe will
offset the number of additional en-
ployes which the Hamilton Furnace
Company would have employed in
their plant in order to supply gas to
the city An adequate and good sup
ply of natural gas is very strong
point in bringing new enterprises to
a city.
Serious Mistake
Having the real interest of the
city of Hamilton in mind, and being
prompted by this consideration solely,
it is our judgment that it would be
very serious and much regretted
mistake if the city of Hamilton should
fail to contract for the five-year pc
riod with the Columbia Gas & Elec-
trio Company and attempt to substi-
tute the manufactured gas for the
natural gas The question involved
is not the value of manufactured gas
as fuel, but having an abundant
supply of natural gas available which
can be obtained at a certain rate
whether it is to the advantage of the
city of Hamilton to contract for the
supply of natural gas in preference
to contracting for manufactured gas,
bearing in mind the relative charge
to the citizens of Hamilton of the
two gases offered
1t is our belief that of the two
propositions, the one in favor of ma
tural gas carries with it far greater
advantages to the citizens of Hamil-
ton than does the one covering the
proposed manufactured gas supply.
We shall be glad to have a rep
resentative appear before your honor
able body to give any further infor
nation that we may be capable of OF
this subject and based on our long
experience in the field.

''ShAitLtt' n hUNI"-IAlhNE.
 The greatest comedy photoplay in many years Is "Charley's Aunt" as adapted from the famous stage play of the same name which was first produced 3S years ago and is still being played today, The large aus diences that packed the Palace to capacity yesterday were in spasms Of laughter throughout the picture and It is sure that many buttons were snapped from wearing apparel because of the fact that even the seats In some rows arc pulled loose from tho floor with the backward and forward motions of those in hilarious gloe.
 Syd Chaplin plays tho title role of "Charley's Aunt" or rather the young oxford college student who masquerades as Is the eccentric old aunt from Brazil where the nuts come from.
