Academy Street Ob serves the Fourth There is one section of Salaman ca where the community spirit es- pecialy abounds and where for years past picnic suppers, gatherings and celebrations of all kinds have been the rule rather than the exception. It is that section of the city which in cludes Academy, Adam, Division, South and adjacent streets. A few. Saturdays ago when late in the afteroon everybody had been made happy by the news that, the Peace Treaty had been signed, this community thought that the occasion should not be passeed over without a proper celebration. So that even ing if p. m. should be called evening, a celebration including a parade was put on that for enthusiasm and noise could be classed among our best celebrations.\ Salamanca decided not to celebrate Fourth-of-July officially this year and many of the citizens journeyed to resorts or cities where celebrations were being held. Those people on Academy and nearby streets stayed right at home and put on one of the most clever and unique and at the same time safe and sane Fourth-of July celebrations that could he ima gined. The affair was originated by Mrs. Olive\ Young and was enjoyed by adults and children alike. Frank Fry and guest, J. McKee decorated elab orately a section of the street where most of the events took place. The first event of the afternoon was a patriotic parade, by the child ren in which small \floats and well bedecked doll carts were the feature. Liz, the German messenger dog, cap tured by Ceylon Eldridge in France, pulled the chariot in which sat little Miss Frances Eldridge, and they were the cause .of much enthusiasm dis played by the crowd that lined the streets. Others who participated in the par ade and races were Pauline Pierce of Elmira, Florence and L e ^ Studleyr Margaret and Stanley Nadolski, Catherine and Pauline Povlack, Nor- ma,Kenneth and James Velie,Richaxd Mosher, Wilma, Rosalind and Paul- Farquharson, iDonald and.Hi^’ry Fur man, Harold and Olive Hancock, Helen and Magdalene Kelly, Marjone Fry, Avis Mann, Florence and* Robert Seaver, Marguerite Malone, Lillian and Elizabeth Benz, Millicent, En- dora and Lucile Crandall. A tricycle race was won by Harold Hancock and a kiddie car race by- Magdalena Kelly. Following the parade and races re freshments were served to the child ren by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Benz. In the evening after a masquerade dance on the pavement enjoyed by the older people, refreshments were served and everyone was satisfied that they stayed near home. Carnival This Time Sure Manager Bullock of the Erie Shop Band announces that that, organiza tion has contracted with the Harry Copping’s Greater Shows and it will appear all next week on the Elliott lot. South Side. This is the same Carnival Company that appeared here last season and is satisfactory in every respect. This is a clean, wholesome show and is entirely free from the features that caused the band to cancel a contract with a carnival organization which, they had advertised to'^appear here recently. * The Harry Copping’s Greater Shows will give “u. performance every evening and probably also up\on Sat urday''afternoon. This organization carries a $16,000 Merry-Go-Round, Ferris Wheel,.Over the Top and a rather new stmif. The Whip. All to gether they have 11 shows, 30 con cessions and carry their otvn band of 12 pieces. The Erie Band will appear every evening in a series' of especially sel ected popular and classical pro grams. \ f The merit of the show and the- fact that a percentage of all receipts goes to the band will without a doubt attract large* crowds to the carnival grounds. Plan-Welcome Home for Service Men At a meeting of the business men of East Otto Saturday it was de cided to hold a banquet to welcome home the soldiers of the district. G. A. Matteson was chairman.' Com mittees were named with the follow ing chairmans Decorations, Marc Ellsworth Refreshments, MUm Williams Music, B. H. PMlbrick Programme^ G. A- Matte SOB. Gas Manufacturers are Rushed With Orders Warren, Pa.— ^The gasoline indus try is in a very flourishing condition. A short period of dullness followed the end of the war, hut now condi tions have changed and the manufac turers are rushed with qrders; During the dull period many man ufacturers increased the capacity of their plants or refineries as a result they are in a, position at present to produce a much larger quantity of gasoline. Since last summer several new casing head gasoline plants have been erected in this section. The fact that the demand for casing head gasoline is as great as for the refined article was the cause of the new cas ing head plants being built. Before the war when the demand for gasoline was only normal, casing head gasoline was hot much in de mand, due to the fact that it was never given a fair test. The major ity of the users o f gasoline demanded the refined gasoline * which is made from crude oil. Following the out break of the war the demand became so great that a shortage of gasoline quickly resulted. This condition forced many people to use casing head gasoline. After giving it a trial they .soon found that it was of a quality equally, as good as the gas oline made from crude oil. In fact, many people believe the gasoline made from natural gas is even super ior to the refined gasoline. A few years ago the casing head gasoline production in this section amounted to practically nothing, while today it is believed -that the production in Warren and McKean counties is even greater than the pro duction of refined gasoline. Ice Mine at Coudersport, Pa. The “Ice Mine,” a wonderful freak of nature, at Coudersport, Pa., is now open to visitors, and tourists from every dirction are now visiting this natural phenomenon. The beautiful and fantastic ice formations are not removed from the mine but are left to be viewed by the thousands who visit the place each summer. Many people from this vicinity have autoed to the mine. All express not only satisfaction, and wonder at the mine itself, but also their sur prise to learn that such a unique attraction is so near. The number of visitors is increas-' ing every day, and unusual large crowds visit the Ice Mine on Sun days. --------------------- — - 00 — --------------------------- Where Salamancans Spent the Fourth Mr. and Mrs. D.

Dr, Heiser idll make recommendations in the light of ser-< vice which the Rockefeller founda tion is able to render.

Dr. Heiser is a representative of this Foundation and gained an inter-- national reputation, due to Ms mar velous work in the PMlIipines. About 140 members of Mizpah Chapter, O. E. S., with their hus bands and guests held a most delight ful outing at Limestone Wednesday. -They went to Limestone upon the invitation of Mrs. Sarah Sehoonmak- er who has entertained the Chapter upon similar occasions for several years past. The good times enjoyed by the Chapter as the guests of Schoonmaker was without doubt the reason for the large attendance of Wednesday. A large number of the members left for Limestone on the 2:35 W. N. Y. & P. Traction car, the remain der making th'e trip by automobile, A.t 7 o’clock an elaborate dinner was served on the., spacious lawn of the Schoonmaker home and while Mizpah chapter has made a reputa tion, for being able to prepare good things to eat, this dinner outstliped all previous efforts. Following the dinner a program was carried out which was ably pre sided over by Miss Sue G. Peaslee, the Worthy Matron of the Chapter, Miss Peaslee first called upon a quar tette composed-of Messers Garner, Kegerries, Hancock and Dawson%srho sang the Star Spangled Banner^ other patriotic songs. Major Sehd^ maker of Bradford, son of the n tess, who spent many months in ive service in France spoke infoi^ mally to the guests of his experiences “Over'There.” .Major Schoonmaker who is not a stranger f o Salamanca audiences told of his experiences in a manner so entertaining that his listeners agreed that this part of the program alone was well worth the trip. . . . The quartette which by this time l-Jiad been recruited to a . good size chorus saug several humorous songs and their efforts were so much ap preciated by the audience that they found it necessary to respond to re peated encores. Mr. E. C. Bro-vm who was in especially fine voice waa. then called upon by Worthy “Matron. Peaslee and rendered his old favorite- entitled “The Little Old Red Shawl That Mary ..Wore.” As is usually the case when Mr. Brown sings this fa vorite song, it was necessary for Mrm to respond to^ repeated encores. In a short address filled with the- humor characteristic of Miss Peaslee> she thanked Mrs. Schoonmaker upon behalf of Mizpah Chapter for the in vitation to make the pilgrimage Limestone and for the delighted time that the Chapter had spent there her guests. In response Mrs. Schoonmaker as sured the Chapter that they were at all times welcome guests at her home and extended 'an invitation to the Chapter to make the journey again next year. The guests then adjourned to the- K. O. T. M, hall where the Masonic orchestra f he memhers of which are Mrs. Winkett, Mr. Hawley and Mr, Harry Rowland rendered a program of dance music so well Selected and so full of pep that people danced Wednesday that had never danced before. The Grand March was ied, by Mr. Henry N eff and Mrs. L. D. Griffin. One of the interesting fea tures of the whole trip was the prize waltz which was awarded by the Judge, Mr. Howard Hancock, to Misa Carrie Higgins and -Mr, B. L. Htfllt. Shortly after midnight the orches tra played the Home Sweet Home- waltz and the guests left by automo bile, for Salamanca. Mizpah Chapter has each year gatherings of the most enjoyable kind but this trip to Limestone and the delightful hospitality shown by Mrs. Schoonmaker will go down on record as one of the most enjoyable occasions in the whole history of the^ Chapter. ------------ - --------- 0 0 — - --------------- Eight Barrel Well Near Roek Mifier Brothare of Olean cleaner out and shot Number 26 oB wel| Thursday July 3rd, on what is as ^‘Bucher Xfease!’ near Rock Citj The well was shot with sixty qiMri of nitroglycerine and is tai»d as starting with eight barrels per day, — — 0 0 — — - ----------- Irvin Kingsley and Robert Harri son of Patterson, N.
