GRANGE WINS IZE AT THE FAIR Awarded Second For Exhibit In Canton — Jackson Township Farm Bureau Show Scores a Number of Points—Many From This District. MRS. J. H. SHEETS A JUDGE Told Without S3 [By BEN. J. LONG] The Grange exhibits at the Stark County Fair this year are exceptionally good. The prizes have been awarded as follows: . Sponsellei; Grange, first; Plain Grange, second; Magnolia, third; Nimishillen grange, fourth; Roberts- - ville grange, fifth; Fairmount grange, sixth; Canal Fulton grange, seventh; Lake grange, eighth. Jackson township Farm Bureau exhibit scored sufficient points so that their prize was equal to the amount of the third prize received by Magnolia grange. Mr. ancl Mrs. J. H. Sheets of North Main street have been attending the Stark County fair each day since Monday. Mrs. Sheets is one of the judges of the domestic department. Hundreds of people in The Sun's district are attending the fair today, and yesterday many women were present. The exhibits are exceptionally fine this year. o S' Mrs. D. J. Reardon .Fell Down Stairs While Carrying Hot Water. This Wednesday Mrs. D. J. Rear-, don, wife of the golf professional at' Orchard Hills Country club, is resting as easy as could be expected after her fall down 12 steps into the basement of her home on .Donner road yesterday, and from the scalding she received when the bucket of hot water she was carrying scalded her arms and legs. She was alone at the time, but with great pluck crawled up the stairs to her kitchen. Her cries for help were heard by Mrs. C. H. Corbett, a next door neighbor, who went tp. her assistance and after giving' first aid summoned a physician-.' " •■• .' It is believed-she will be in bed for several weeks. . THREE WEDDINGS Hartz-Yelverton Miss Ruby Hartz and Mr. Carl M. Yelverton, both of Massillon, were married by the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom in his home on Witwer street on Thursday morning, Aug. 30. The young folks were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Round of Akron. They will make their home in Massillon. North Canton Puhlic Library A visit to the public library in the Community Building, North Canton, is time well spent. Miss Vera Mathie, the capable and courteous librarian, will answer questions concerning the many books on the shelves and the rules governing the library. Asked by this writer for The Sun how many books had been taken out in August—usually a poor' reading month—she replied: "One thousand and eight books. This we consider a good sign that people appreciate the library. In the section near that window we have a number of books we feel certain will prove of great assistance to high school students this Fall and winter." t t t ' Books a Test of Character The North Canton public library is not a great library in size, but considering the'population of this town, it is a great library in the quality and quantity of books it carries on its shelves. It is surely fitted to stir an intelligent soul. A well assorted public library puts one's powers of choice to trial and the books you choose become a test of character and taste. Happy the boy or girl who early learns to appreciate a thoroughly good book. It need not be a learned book, or beyond the powers of youth. Great things are generally simple things. They need not be dull or abstruse. Indeed, one can think of scores of books full of dramatic power and interest,' the love of which has power to mould the taste for good literature and be tests for all good books. $ t t The Heart of a Town A library, such as the' North Canton library, is the very heart of a town. More anil more it is becoming the chief center of culture. .It is a high responsibility that rests upon the knowledge and skill .and conscience of those who choose the books for such high purposes. They are laying their hands vitally on all the future of the homes that look to them for guidance. Walking- around the library, this writer thought it.is the privilege of every one of ug to have our share in developing this institution. A collection of books and magazines like that in the library deals.ript only with t^ie past to let us Know what riien have thought ancl clone, but- lets us know what men from the four corners of the globe, are thinking and. doing today. Giving the high school students an opportunity to acquire additional knowledge this Fall and winter is a great educational feat for a town of this size, and no doubt will cause them ito say joyfully, "What a great day this is in which we are permitted to live!" EUCHARISTIC SYNOD | ASK BOND ISSUE Council Submits Two, One For $5,000, the Second For §10,000. Is Well Represented. At a regular meeting of Council on Cathoiic Clere-v and Laitv the l Tuesday night the members passed Catftonc ueigy ana i^ny m4- ^ re/oIut£ns which will be submit. World Over Are In Sydney,! tod to the voters at the November election. Australia, Ready for the 29th : One calls for a bond issue pf §5,000 ' J > for storm water sewer purposes, and International Congress—U. S. ithe other asks for $J0,000 for street j improvements. ! Council discussed the street question from every angle, and it was the unanimous opinion that people residing on "dirt" streets are entitled to consideration. The treasury, however, for this particular purpose is not overly (lush with cash at present ancl with the town growing at a steady pace it is not an easy job to make the amount allowed spread over much territory. That the Mayor and Council want to be fair with all was plainly seen last night when Fifth street, was discussed. The officials, realize that the residents of that street are entitled to WILL LAST THREE DAYS [Contributed to The Sun] In Sydney, Australia, on Thursday, Sept. 6, Catholic clergy and laity the world over will attend the Twenty- ninth International Eucharistic Congress. It will be in session three clays. Owing to the great distance there was no concerted movement in Ohio and . mid-west states to attend the con- relief, and it will be given them as gress. Large delegations from New, soon as possible. . York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San The Mayor's report showed that — - - - • $240 had been received from fines and license fees during August. o CHAUTAUQUA COMES jvm irrj Final Check-up Shows That Local Receipts Arc $4.75 Over Requirements, a Few Dollars Less Than Last Season— Every One Well Pleased. VARIETY AND QUALITY Slosser-Shaw A pretty wedding was'solemnized on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 1, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. Jones, by the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, pastor of the Community Christian church, when Mrs. Jessie Hull Slosser became the bride of Joseph B. Shaw. Guests were Mr.- and Mrs; J. L. Leonard and son Sherill of Akron; Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Harrington, Pittsburg, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Wright and son Donald, and Miss Margaret Slosser, daughter of the bride. . i o Stroup-Hummel Mrs. C. B. Albee sent to The Sun the announcement of the marriage of Miss Nellie Stroup, school teacher in North Canton schools for the past four years, to Maynard Hummel. Miss Stroup is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Stroup of Homesworth. Maynard Hummel is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Hummel of Portage street, the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Hummel to be married this summer. A letter to Mrs. Albee announces that they were married on Saturday evening, September 1, at 6:30 by the Rev. Mr. Robert George Ramsey of the Central Presbyterian church of Erie. They left soon after for Niagara Falls and from there will go to Canada and visit the Toronto Fair. They will live at 157 Wise avenue after their return to North Canton. Nailih: CREDITS FOR STUDENTS North Canton Library Will Assist Those In School Here. The English classics have been arranged by year, in a section of the North Canton Library, devoted entirely for this purpose, so that high school students may begin at once to do their year's reading for credits. There are approximately sixty volumes for each grade, which, with the hi^h school accumulation, will make it quite easy for students to do the necessary reading this year. , The librarian is in position to advise the student the number of points they will be credited with for the reading of the various books. Move From Middlebranch Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Lindenberger and family of Middlebranch have moved jnto the house at 600 Portage street Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Orelup of Cuya- g a Speeder- Frequently a man says^ to me, "I made the trip to Blankville in one hour and beat my own record." He looks surprised when I tell him to "forget it." " Sometimes it is necessary to remind him that sheriffs read newspapers, and when they see that a driver has broken a record they get in touch with him, and then the Court "touches" him on his pocket book. A banker friend of mine in the southwest traveled 150 miles in record-breaking time to take the paying teller to the bedside of his dying mother. The daily I edited at the time printed the news, but omitted the speed. The banker's son—a clever go1- ing young man—gave the time to another newspaper. The sheriffs saw it, and it cost the banker nearly $300, not to mention lots of ti-ouble, after the sheriffs of several counties got through with him. t * t The Case of Neff You saw in the daily newspapers where Registrar Parker of Massachusetts acted promptly in the case of Jerome P.-Neff of Mamaroneck on his story that he had beaten the Merchants' Limited with his automobile. To Neff the action was probably very much unexpected. He probably thought he could drive a car at an average rate of 50 miles an hour through Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts anci that it would be considered a mere lark; a little ride to win a $50 bet. He has doubtless waked up. For the registrar has suspended the right of Neff to operate in Massachusetts; suspended the right of his wife to operate in that state; taken away the license of J. Fern Hollis, with whom Neff bet $50 he could beat the train; taken action against the registration of the cars of Neff and Hollis; written the motor vehicle commissioners of other states through which Neff passed, and start- eel an investigation to determine whether criminal prosecution could be maintained. The moral of this is that it pays to keep your mouth shut when you make a new speed record on the highways. Sheriffs, keep in mind, read • newspapers, dailies and weeklies. o ATTENDED FUNERAL Francisco and other centers, however, started weeks ago for that far-off land. The international executive committee awarded the biennial festival to the Pacific for the first time in the more than half a century since its inception. Cardinal Cerretti, Papal Legate, and former Papal Nuncio at Washington and Paris, are present with a large suite from Rome. He will represent Pope Pius XI, and on his return to Rome will pass through the United States. Canada sent a French-Canadian delegation from Quebec under the leadership of Cardinal Rouleau. The British delegation is led by the Catholic bishop of London. China, Japan and the Philippines are represented on a scale to reflect the appeal the congress is making to Catholics throughout the Pacific. Returning a Compliment The American delegations are returning a compliment, on behalf of the American hierarchy, which the Australian church paid in sending a delegation under Arch-bishop Mannix of Melbourne to the last Eucharistic Congress in Chicago, two years ago. The concluding event at the Eucharistic Congress is a procession in which the papal legate bears alof$. the Sacred Host in a flaming golden/mon- stl-ance. A solemn pontifical high mass will be celebrated' onW the grounds bf St. Patrick's College, Manly, on the closing Sunclay, with Cardinal Cerretti as chief celebrant. Water Procession After mass the cardinal, carrying the sacrament, will board a special yacht ancl lead the processional boats down the harbor to Sydney, fourteen miles distant. On the way, at various suburbs arourtd the harbor, he will bless member -of the parishes assembled on shore by silently making the sign of the cross with the monstrance. The water procession will end at Man-o'-War Steps in the Sydney quay. Clergy and laity will reform and, to the singing of congress hymns, will march to St. Mary's cathedral. Laymen will be stationed along the line of march as guards of honor. With solemn benediction at the western doors of St. Mary's, the congress will formally end. St. Mary's cathedral is an outstanding landmark of Sydney. It occupies a commanding eminence in the heart of the fast-growing city—the largest in Australia and the capital of New South Wales. The archdiocese of Sydney, assisted by the five other archdioceses of Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth ancl Hobart (Tasmania), made elaborate plans for the accommodation of the thousands of Visitors expected. 1,250,000 Catholics In Australia The Rev. John T. McMahon, superintendent of Catholic schools, Perth, West Australia, was in this country as an official representative of the congress. Dr. McMahon saicl that the congress was awarded to Sydney in recognition of the growth of the church in the Antipodes, which has reached a strength today of 1,250,000 communicants. Dr. McMahon saicl this growth has been received with the greater favor because of the early handicaps the church faced. It grew out of the devotion of some 7000 Irish political prisoners, who were deported to Australia in the early part of the last century, and who did not officially receive freedom of worship from the English government until some time afterward. THE WOMAN'S CLUB ntercsting Subjects Treated At Length By Members and Guest. The Woman's club of Nortli Canton held a program meeting on Tuesday evening in the Community Building. Mrs. Stone of East Maple street played two piano numbers, Miss Ella Geidlinger gave an acount of the last half of her trip in Em ope and Mrs. H. H. Rost, a former Ninth Canton resident, gave a review of "The Romance of the. Rivers." Each number on the prop-ram was entertaining. No other business was transacted. The next meeting will be on Monday, October 1, in the Community Building. o "The Harvester" By' Gene Stratton Porter Here Friday Night. V Irvin Johnston's Sister Laid To Rest In Mansfield. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Johnston were in Mansfield in attendance at the funeral of Mr. Johnston's -sister, Mrs. Ernest Sirbeck. Mrs. Sirbeck was born and reared BOWLING ALLEYS Ira Clouser and Other Men Are Getting Them In Fine Shape. at One of ,the best-.wUers among- books in the'HJhited' Stafers~~is "The Harvester," by Gene Stratton-Porter. It is a simple love story, simply told, and all the more powerful because of its very simplicity. The screen adaptation of this novel will be presented in the Community- Building on Friday night, Sept. 7, beginning at 7:45. Since the story of the novel is laid at the famous Limberlost Cabin of the late Mrs. Porter, and since Din-ctcr Leo Meehan, is also her son-in-law, he transported his entire company to the Limberlost estate in Indiana, and photographed the exterior scenes in that location. The result shows a freshness of scenery that is especially pleasing. Delightful characterizations are delivered by Jay Hunt and Will Walling, two veterans who have the easy unction and histrionic facility that are the product of long experience. These with Lola Todd, Edward Hearn ancl Fanny Midgley, constitute a cast which is exceptional. A comedy ancl a news reel are the other features. Price?: 15c, 20c, 30c. FOOTBALL CAMP N. C. High Boys Spending the Week j At Woods Lake, Alliance. Who saicl that camps were all over for the season? Whoever did had a guess coining, for a bunch of North Canton lads looking for something to do the last week before school opens, rolled their blankets;, took a piece of change from the old savings account to buy grub, picked up a mess kit, and hied themselves to Woods lake, near Alliance, where they have set up housekeeping for tbe week. The original purpose of the camp was not vacation; nobody .ever said it was a vacation. To the boys it is a serious business; for who are they, except prospective members of the North Canton high school football team, and what are they doing except a lot of hard work, for the sole purpose of convincing their opponents on the field that when they hit the North Canton line they have struck something that is unyielding. Coach Lowell Rucli is one of the number ancl W. H. Wood of the Community Building is superivsing their feed as well as their earlv morning work-out; and with a line-up like that we know these boys are coming back hard, and we predict that they are going to hit the line hard within the next few weeks. This is not a football camp; just a bunch of prospective timber, hardening for the fun that is ahead. Among ' the fellows who are at the camp are Once more chautauqua has gone over the top, and North Canton patrons are rejoicing that the program was so successful ancl that a contract has already been signed for chautauqua next year. Characteristic of North Canton, when there is anythinir to be done— they do it. There seems to be nothing that develops the teamwork and community' spirit that chautauqua does. This is one place where everybody pulls together. A Fine Program There has been nothing but praise for the program, both as to variety and quality. Then, too, local people are always interested in the financial side of il; and although thc conditions were not the best this year, and thc struggle for season ticket sale was great, Die final check-up showed that the local receipts were $.1.75 over requirements. This is within a few dollars of being- equal to last year. The local committee has made a careful study of conditions and methods of procedure, and it i.s their prediction now that, profiling by some mistakes, another year will be much easier. t Anyway, whether it is or not, hurrah for chautauqua! the one distinct American contribution to adult education. Hollman and His Pigeons One feature of the * program this year was Frank H. Hollman and his rare types of acrobatic birds. His lec- ,ture proved that he is thoroughly qualified to discuss'pigeons, and he has birds so trained that they do his bidding on the instant. A most capable man is Mr. Hollman when it comes to pigeons. PULPIUMW j Zion Reformed Church J [By the Pastor] I Labor Sunday was emphasized not only in the form the sermon took, but also by the conspicuous absence of some, who evidently took advantage of the conjunction of a Sunday and a holiday. It brought a few visitors our way too, and we appreciate that. The Sunday-school attendance fell below the five hundred mark—471. The morning appointments obtain next Sunday. The committee on church services will arrange to have the pulpit satisfactorily filled. The pastor, as mentioned last week, will be at a home-coming in a charge he served in Pennsylvania some twenty- eight years ago, where he is scheduled to preach. He views it with pleasant anticipation. Hallowed memories always cluster about a pastoral relationship. The sick we still have with us, and our hearts go out not only toward those who are on the sick list, but to their loved ones as well, who have the loving care of them. Our prayer is for them all. The Consistory meets Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock. May we have a full attendance? The Ruth class meets Tuesday evening at 7:30. The pastor, going to the above- mentioned' home-coming, expects to visit, en route, his nephew and family, Rev. Karl H. Beck of St. Paul's, Myersdale, Pa. Remember, the evening services begin Sunclay, September 16. BASIL LOUGHRANE ' Basil Loughrane, the leading man of the Wright Players, is an attractive-looking young man, but one must see him on the stage to appreciate liis charming personality. The patrons of the Grand in Canton have taken him to their hearts, whole-heartedly, for his splendid ability as an actor and the afore-mentioned charm of manner.

Community Christian Church [By the Pastor] Our Fall program will be announced Sunclay, at least that section leading up to and including Rally day, which will come this year on Sundav, October 7. Our general theme for Sunday will be "Cheerfulness," next week being Good Cheer Week. We hope in this to clo more than put on a smile, but to encourage a foundation for cheerfulness that will carry us through every circumstance. Mr. Ma, a Chinese student, will be our guest Sunday and will have some part in the program. We ara always glad to welcome and listen zo citizens from this strange land. He will be visiting friends in North Canton over the week-end. In the absence of our organist, Miss Geidlinger, who has operated the organ since its installment, Mrs. E. E. | Stoner, an experienced organist, will play on Sunday at the church service.! The pastor and his family attend- j ed the First Christian church of Canton on Sunclay morning. The pastor performed two wedding J ceremonies during the week and kept I up his visitation of the sick, whom he i found to be improving, except in cases where improvement is not expected. A number of the congregation are expected to attend the Stark county I convention to be held at Massillon on | Friday, Sept. 14. This is an annual I gathering and was held at North | Canton last year. The pastor will h-.ne I some part on the program. I . o : — ' Ellis Hand Improving Everyone will be pleased to learn that Ellis Hand, who was so badly injured a few weeks ago, is still improving, but is as yet confined in Aultman hospital. If you want to be able to keep up with the procession in conversation about the drama it will be necessary to attend the Grand Theatre in Canton one night a week for the coming season. Manager R. M. Cannon has booked the finest list of plays ever offered in Canton arid larger cities, By stock, and Herbert De Guerre is in New York this week to secure some talented actresses and actors to add to his capable company of Wright Players. "The Ghost Between" This week is the story of "The Ghost Between," ancl so unusual a twist js given this play by the authors, that it came near being named "The Twist." The ghost only exists in the minds of the two principals of the play and how its laying is brought about is a most surprising and interesting turn of events, entertaining to the limit. "Twin Beds" Next Week Next week, bginning Monday, September 10, "Twin Beds" will be presented. Its presentation carries one of the most elaborate electrical features ever used on the stage, much of which is not seen by the audience as wires are under the carpet ancl in every manner of place. In most instances the actors are given their entrance cues by the touch of an electric button. The entire play is a laugh from start to finish. The story deals with the felicities ancl infelicities of three couples who live in small apartments, ancl a maid who is a paragon bf virtue. "Harry Hoskins" decides to move from his objectionable neighbors and his troubles begin and only end with the last curtain. If you have seen it you will want to see it again, if you haven't, you certainly should. The Fall and winter seasS'n will be opened at The Grand Theatre on Sunclay, September 1G. It has been the custom to start the new plays of the week on Monday but from September 16 on the new play of the week will begin on Sunday night, beginning with one of the most popular plays ever staged, "Abie's Irish Rose," the only play that ever ran continuously for six years in New York city. Seats may be reserved now for this play. This is the most expensive show ever put on by stock because "a large percentage of the box office receipts is demanded as royalty for its pre sentation. The public schools will open on Monday morning, Sept. 10, at 8:30. The teachers will be here by that time ready to begin their work. For the convenience of those who are not acquainted with the schedule the following may be of interest. The school building will be open at 8:15. A pupil will be tardy if he is not in his room by 8:30 a. m. In the afternoon Grades VII to XII are to be there by 12:30 and Grades I to VI bv 12:45. Grade I will dismiss at 11:00 and 3:00. Grade II will dismiss at 11:15 and 3:00. Grade 1I-VI will dismiss at 11:25 and 3:15. Grade VII lo XII will dismiss at J 1:30 and 3:30.

These certificates may be secured from the village clerk if the pupil was born in N-arth Canton; if born in Canton, from the city health department, or if in Stark county outside these towns, from the Stark county board of health. If possible this certificate should be given to the teacher on the opening clay of school. A pupil must be six years old by Jan. 18 before he can enter first grade and five years old by this date before he can enter kindergarten. North Canton has a display at the county fair from each of the rooms in the grade school.

North Canton Puhlic Library
A visit to the public library in the
Community Building, North Canton,
is time well spent. Miss Vera Mathie,
the capable and courteous librarian,
will answer questions concerning the
many books on the shelves and the
rules governing the library.
Asked by this writer for The Sun
how many books had been taken out
in August—usually a poor' reading
month—she replied: "One thousand
and eight books. This we consider a
good sign that people appreciate the
library. In the section near that window we have a number of books we
feel certain will prove of great assistance to high school students this Fall
and winter."

' Books a Test of Character
The North Canton public library
is not a great library in size, but considering the'population of this town,
it is a great library in the quality and
quantity of books it carries on its
shelves. It is surely fitted to stir an
intelligent soul. A well assorted public library puts one's powers of choice
to trial and the books you choose become a test of character and taste.
Happy the boy or girl who early
learns to appreciate a thoroughly
good book. It need not be a learned
book, or beyond the powers of youth.
Great things are generally simple
things. They need not be dull or abstruse. Indeed, one can think of
scores of books full of dramatic power
and interest,' the love of which has
power to mould the taste for good literature and be tests for all good
books.
$ t t
The Heart of a Town
A library, such as the' North Canton library, is the very heart of a
town. More anil more it is becoming
the chief center of culture. .It is a
high responsibility that rests upon the
knowledge and skill .and conscience of
those who choose the books for such
high purposes. They are laying their
hands vitally on all the future of the
homes that look to them for guidance.
Walking- around the library, this
writer thought it.is the privilege of
every one of ug to have our share in
developing this institution. A collection of books and magazines like that
in the library deals.ript only with t^ie
past to let us Know what riien have
thought ancl clone, but- lets us know
what men from the four corners of
the globe, are thinking and. doing today.
Giving the high school students an
opportunity to acquire additional
knowledge this Fall and winter is a
great educational feat for a town of
this size, and no doubt will cause them
ito say joyfully, "What a great day
this is in which we are permitted to
live!"

CREDITS FOR STUDENTS
North Canton Library Will Assist
Those In School Here.
The English classics have been arranged by year, in a section of the
North Canton Library, devoted entirely for this purpose, so that high
school students may begin at once to
do their year's reading for credits.
There are approximately sixty volumes for each grade, which, with the
hi^h school accumulation, will make it
quite easy for students to do the
necessary reading this year.
, The librarian is in position to advise the student the number of points
they will be credited with for the
reading of the various books.

Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Orelup of Cuya-
g a Speeder-
Frequently a man says^ to me, "I
made the trip to Blankville in one
hour and beat my own record."
He looks surprised when I tell him
to "forget it." " Sometimes it is necessary to remind him that sheriffs read
newspapers, and when they see that a
driver has broken a record they get
in touch with him, and then the Court
"touches" him on his pocket book.
A banker friend of mine in the
southwest traveled 150 miles in record-breaking time to take the paying
teller to the bedside of his dying
mother. The daily I edited at the time
printed the news, but omitted the
speed. The banker's son—a clever go1-
ing young man—gave the time to another newspaper. The sheriffs saw it,
and it cost the banker nearly $300,
not to mention lots of ti-ouble, after
the sheriffs of several counties got
through with him.

The Case of Neff
You saw in the daily newspapers
where Registrar Parker of Massachusetts acted promptly in the case of
Jerome P.-Neff of Mamaroneck on his
story that he had beaten the Merchants' Limited with his automobile.
To Neff the action was probably very
much unexpected. He probably
thought he could drive a car at an
average rate of 50 miles an hour
through Connecticut, Rhode Island
and Massachusetts anci that it would
be considered a mere lark; a little
ride to win a $50 bet. He has doubtless waked up. For the registrar has
suspended the right of Neff to operate
in Massachusetts; suspended the right
of his wife to operate in that state;
taken away the license of J. Fern
Hollis, with whom Neff bet $50 he
could beat the train; taken action
against the registration of the cars
of Neff and Hollis; written the motor
vehicle commissioners of other states
through which Neff passed, and start-
eel an investigation to determine
whether criminal prosecution could be
maintained.
The moral of this is that it pays to
keep your mouth shut when you make
a new speed record on the highways.
Sheriffs, keep in mind, read • newspapers, dailies and weeklies.
o
ATTENDED FUNERAL
Francisco and other centers, however,
started weeks ago for that far-off
land.
The international executive committee awarded the biennial festival
to the Pacific for the first time in the
more than half a century since its inception. Cardinal Cerretti, Papal Legate, and former Papal Nuncio at
Washington and Paris, are present
with a large suite from Rome. He
will represent Pope Pius XI, and on
his return to Rome will pass through
the United States.
Canada sent a French-Canadian
delegation from Quebec under the
leadership of Cardinal Rouleau. The
British delegation is led by the Catholic bishop of London. China, Japan
and the Philippines are represented on
a scale to reflect the appeal the congress is making to Catholics throughout the Pacific.
Returning a Compliment
The American delegations are returning a compliment, on behalf of
the American hierarchy, which the
Australian church paid in sending a
delegation under Arch-bishop Mannix
of Melbourne to the last Eucharistic
Congress in Chicago, two years ago.
The concluding event at the Eucharistic Congress is a procession in
which the papal legate bears alof$. the
Sacred Host in a flaming golden/mon-
stl-ance. A solemn pontifical high
mass will be celebrated' onW the
grounds bf St. Patrick's College,
Manly, on the closing Sunclay, with
Cardinal Cerretti as chief celebrant.
Water Procession
After mass the cardinal, carrying
the sacrament, will board a special
yacht ancl lead the processional boats
down the harbor to Sydney, fourteen
miles distant. On the way, at various
suburbs arourtd the harbor, he will
bless member -of the parishes assembled on shore by silently making the
sign of the cross with the monstrance.
The water procession will end at
Man-o'-War Steps in the Sydney
quay. Clergy and laity will reform
and, to the singing of congress hymns,
will march to St. Mary's cathedral.
Laymen will be stationed along the
line of march as guards of honor.
With solemn benediction at the western doors of St. Mary's, the congress
will formally end.
St. Mary's cathedral is an outstanding landmark of Sydney. It occupies
a commanding eminence in the heart
of the fast-growing city—the largest
in Australia and the capital of New
South Wales.
The archdiocese of Sydney, assisted
by the five other archdioceses of Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth ancl
Hobart (Tasmania), made elaborate
plans for the accommodation of the
thousands of Visitors expected.
1,250,000 Catholics In Australia
The Rev. John T. McMahon, superintendent of Catholic schools, Perth,
West Australia, was in this country
as an official representative of the
congress. Dr. McMahon saicl that the
congress was awarded to Sydney in
recognition of the growth of the
church in the Antipodes, which has
reached a strength today of 1,250,000
communicants.
Dr. McMahon saicl this growth has
been received with the greater favor
because of the early handicaps the
church faced. It grew out of the devotion of some 7000 Irish political prisoners, who were deported to Australia
in the early part of the last century,
and who did not officially receive freedom of worship from the English government until some time afterward.
THE WOMAN'S CLUB

BOWLING ALLEYS
Ira Clouser and Other Men Are Getting Them In Fine Shape.
at One of ,the best-.wUers among-
books in the'HJhited' Stafers~~is "The
Harvester," by Gene Stratton-Porter.
It is a simple love story, simply told,
and all the more powerful because of
its very simplicity.
The screen adaptation of this novel
will be presented in the Community-
Building on Friday night, Sept. 7, beginning at 7:45.
Since the story of the novel is laid
at the famous Limberlost Cabin of the
late Mrs. Porter, and since Din-ctcr
Leo Meehan, is also her son-in-law,
he transported his entire company to
the Limberlost estate in Indiana, and
photographed the exterior scenes in
that location. The result shows a
freshness of scenery that is especially
pleasing.
Delightful characterizations are delivered by Jay Hunt and Will Walling,
two veterans who have the easy unction and histrionic facility that are
the product of long experience. These
with Lola Todd, Edward Hearn ancl
Fanny Midgley, constitute a cast
which is exceptional.
A comedy ancl a news reel are the
other features. Price?: 15c, 20c, 30c.
FOOTBALL CAMP
N.
C. High Boys Spending the Week j
At Woods Lake, Alliance.
Who saicl that camps were all over
for the season? Whoever did had a
guess coining, for a bunch of North
Canton lads looking for something to
do the last week before school opens,
rolled their blankets;, took a piece of
change from the old savings account
to buy grub, picked up a mess kit,
and hied themselves to Woods lake,
near Alliance, where they have set up
housekeeping for tbe week.
The original purpose of the camp
was not vacation; nobody .ever said
it was a vacation. To the boys it is
a serious business; for who are they,
except prospective members of the
North Canton high school football
team, and what are they doing except
a lot of hard work, for the sole purpose of convincing their opponents on
the field that when they hit the North
Canton line they have struck something that is unyielding.
Coach Lowell Rucli is one of the
number ancl W. H. Wood of the Community Building is superivsing their
feed as well as their earlv morning
work-out; and with a line-up like that
we know these boys are coming back
hard, and we predict that they are
going to hit the line hard within the
next few weeks.
This is not a football camp; just a
bunch of prospective timber, hardening for the fun that is ahead. Among
' the fellows who are at the camp are
Once more chautauqua has gone
over the top, and North Canton patrons are rejoicing that the program
was so successful ancl that a contract
has already been signed for chautauqua next year.
Characteristic of North Canton,
when there is anythinir to be done—
they do it. There seems to be nothing that develops the teamwork and
community' spirit that chautauqua
does. This is one place where everybody pulls together.
A Fine Program
There has been nothing but praise
for the program, both as to variety
and quality. Then, too, local people
are always interested in the financial
side of il; and although thc conditions
were not the best this year, and thc
struggle for season ticket sale was
great, Die final check-up showed that
the local receipts were $.1.75 over requirements. This is within a few dollars of being- equal to last year.
The local committee has made a
careful study of conditions and methods of procedure, and it i.s their prediction now that, profiling by some
mistakes, another year will be much
easier. t
Anyway, whether it is or not, hurrah for chautauqua! the one distinct
American contribution to adult education.
Hollman and His Pigeons
One feature of the * program this
year was Frank H. Hollman and his
rare types of acrobatic birds. His lec-
,ture proved that he is thoroughly
qualified to discuss'pigeons, and he
has birds so trained that they do his
bidding on the instant. A most capable man is Mr. Hollman when it
comes to pigeons.
PULPIUMW
j
Zion Reformed Church J
[By the Pastor] I
Labor Sunday was emphasized not
only in the form the sermon took, but
also by the conspicuous absence of
some, who evidently took advantage
of the conjunction of a Sunday and
a holiday. It brought a few visitors
our way too, and we appreciate that.
The Sunday-school attendance fell below the five hundred mark—471.
The morning appointments obtain
next Sunday. The committee on
church services will arrange to have
the pulpit satisfactorily filled. The
pastor, as mentioned last week, will
be at a home-coming in a charge he
served in Pennsylvania some twenty-
eight years ago, where he is scheduled
to preach. He views it with pleasant
anticipation. Hallowed memories always cluster about a pastoral relationship.
The sick we still have with us, and
our hearts go out not only toward
those who are on the sick list, but to
their loved ones as well, who have the
loving care of them. Our prayer is
for them all.
The Consistory meets Thursday
evening at 7:30 o'clock. May we have
a full attendance?
The Ruth class meets Tuesday evening at 7:30.
The pastor, going to the above-
mentioned' home-coming, expects to
visit, en route, his nephew and family, Rev. Karl H. Beck of St. Paul's,
Myersdale, Pa.
Remember, the evening services begin Sunclay, September 16.
BASIL LOUGHRANE
' Basil Loughrane, the leading man
of the Wright Players, is an attractive-looking young man, but one must

the afore-mentioned charm of manner.
