LOCAL SHRINERS ATTEND OLEAN RECEPTION DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA TO HOLD DANCE Invitations are out announcing a dancing party to be given by Court Salamanca 363, Daughters of Isa bella, on Wednesday evening, No- vembeB twenty-sixth. Nothing hag been overlooked that will tend to assure a good time to every guest at this dance. Hough ton’s orchestra, an organization that is a prime favorite with Sala manca dancers, will furnish the music. Many out of town guests are ex pected and Knights of Columbus hall, where the dance is fea be held, will without doubt be taxed to its capacity next Wednesday evening. About thirty Salamanca and Lit tle Valley Shriners with their lad ies attended a theatre party and re ception Wednesday evening at Ole an. The evening’s entertainm ent was planned and executed by the officers of Ism ailia Temple of Buffalo and proved to be a thoroughly delightful affair. Invitations' had been issued to Shriners of Olean, Salamanca, Little Valley and throughout this immedi ate vicinity and but few of them ov erlooked the opportunity to make the pilgrimage. The concert was given at the Hav ens Theatre by the Guido Chorus of Buffalo under the direction of Seth Clark. The Theatre was well filled by Nobles, and their ladies and every selection given by the chorus was enthusiastically received by the au dience and they found it necessary to respond to repeated encores. Maximillian Joseffer, violinist; Mr. Ernest Crimi, tenor and Mr. Eugene Frey, baritone were artists that were thoroughly appreciated by the audi ence and were very generous in their response to the applause given their selections. The concert was followed by a re ception at the Masonic Temple. A buffet lunch was served after which dancing was enjoyed until a rather early hour Thursday morning, Houghton’s orchestra furnishing the music. Those in attendance from Sala manca, m o st of them m aking the trip by autom obile w e re: Mr. and Mrs. P. W. King, Mr, and Mrs. Fred N ies, Dr. and Mrs. P. H. Bourne, Mr, and Mrs. B. L. H u n t, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Rhodes, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Fortune, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hazard, Mr. and Mrs. C, A. Kammire, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Terry, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

Mr. and Mrs. Elnler Johnson; of Murray avenue had a theater party at the Andrews, Monday evening, the occasion being the seventh birth day o f their daughter. The “Good Will” Club m e t at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Pranzen, of Wildwood avenue last Monday ev ening at a “Poverty Party”. Every thing corresponded for the occa^sign. There were about forty present. Games and music furnished enter tainment and a lovely lunch was ser ved. Mrs. Franzen, Mrs. Winkett and Mrs. Royer were the committee. AIRPLANE, USING ALCOHQL FLIES 129 MILES AN HOUR The Aerial Mail Service of the Post Office Department reports a nOn-stop flight by an aeroplane carrying mail from Cleveland to Jersey City, a dis^ tance of 415 miles using alcohol as fuel. The distance was^covered in three hours and 26 minutes, the rate of speed being 120.6 miles per hour. The first 215 miles from Cleveland to Beliefonte, was made iru 1 hour and 40 minutes. This flight wa's at the rate of 129 miles per hour. The purpose of the test was to de termine how much more mileage it was possible to get out of alcohol as compared with high test gasoline. The results obtained are in keeping with the two months’ flying on-fhis synthetic fuel between New York and Washington. This was the longest non-stop flight ever made with an aeroplane carrying mail. The longest non-stop flights in the mail se^ c e heretofore have been the daily flights between Cleve land and Chicago, a distance of 325 miles. Paul S, Oakes, a regular air-mail pilot on the Cleveland-Chicago run, was |he aviator in this record flight. The plane was a De Haviland-4, re built by the Post Office Department and equipped with a Liberty 409- horsepower engine. John D. Hughes Post To Give Ball Retumed Service Men Are MaRing Elaborate Prepara tions for Dance to Be Giv- ''en December 1st The social activities of, John D. Hushes Post, No. 535, American Legion, which is destined to become an important factor in the frater nal and social life of the city, are about to her launched ^ with a big ball to be held in the K. of C. hall on Monday evening, December 1. The response to the sale of tick ets has already been very generous and the people in general seem very anxious to assist the returned ser vice m en in every w a y possible. The proceeds of the dance will be used in the equiping of the new club rooms which have just been leased in the Strand theatre build ing. The Post has been fortunate in the securing for the evening, the services of the Webb’s Novelty Jaz- zers of Buffalo. This musical or ganization has a reput^ion for fur nishing not only fi^st class dance music, but as entertainers as well. The local Post secured the only open date of the Webb’s Jazzers that was available ’till after Febru ary 1st, because of the fact that this musical organization fumi-sdies an entertainment well worth going to hear, even if one does not hap pen to enjoy dancing, the Post has decided to sell tickets to spectators at $1.00 and to those desiring to dance at $2.00. Get the spirit, help the hoys to e- quip comfortably their new quart ers. You can do this by bu 3 ung a ticket to the dance. ‘‘Attend the American Legion Dance.” “Invest^ations” Are Flat Failures Republican Investigators Un able to Make Promised Dis closures Are Becoming Sensitive NEW YORK WOMEN MEET Democratic women of eight coun ties of New York met recently in Buffalo, for conference. Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby, member of the As sociate National Committee of the Democratic National Committee, greeted the women in the name - of the State Democratic Committee and W. W. Parley, State chairman, made an address. Five minute talks by the county chairman of the eighth judi cial district were a feature of the program. WOOL CONSUMPTION IN SEPTEMBER Manufacturers used about 60,000,- 000 pounds of wool, grease equival-. ent, in September. This was 3,000,- 000 less than the amount used in July, but is 2,000,000 pounds more than was used in September, 1918, when many ihills were busy with war contracts. . / Rev, W. E. Smith of Park avenue, is visiting in N e w Castle, Pa. The Republicans are getting to be sensitive <m their “smelling” failures. The big committee of fifteen, packed with probers of national reputation, and narrow-minded partisans, divided into sub-smellers, has/ circled the globe for something detrimental to the Administration. Representative Frear and his expert diggers dipped deep into the woods where the spruce grows for an issue against the Dem ocrats, but came back empty banded. Representative Graham has probed in many places but most of his find was brass and not gold. It was evident when the Republican committee started out that political capital and not the truth was what it sought. The longer the committee digs the plainer it is that Republican campaign material is what it is af ter. The public, the best judge of the real article in an inquiry has never taken any interest in the Graham probes. The newspapers have failed to see anything new or sensational in the facts revealedr It has requir ed a press agent of the Republican National • Committee to get the mat ter unearthed as far as the Wash ington bureaus of the newspapers represented here-^re concerned. Vry little of it has been used. The poople are not concerned about it. They compare the “big victory” with the “little scents” stirred up by the smellers. • * Therefore, when' Representatives Aswell, Democrat of Louisianaj tries to have the smelling committees in vestigated, to see how much of the tax-payers’ m o n ey it had used, Ma jority Leader M ondell raises a howl. He bars Mr. Aswell from the floor with a heavily-laden speech. ' “A week ago I went to the gentle man from Wyoming” (Mr. Mondell) said Mr. Aswell, seeking the, floor, “and asked his permission to speak for 35 minutes. He knew I wanted to reveal the rottem leadership of the Republican party in this House, and he notified me personally thp,t I could not speak on that subject.” ■fhe House spent much time in its successful effort to gag Mr. Aswell. AND IT HAPPENED IN CORRY The smell of a distillery in front of a pool room at Corry resulted in the discovery that some ^one had drop ped a five gallon jug containing whis key. The fire fluid ran down the gut ter\ to the dismay- of thirsty onlook ers. Accprdin^ to the® local market price, the damage was/'$200. ---- - — —00- ----- - ----- A Special Convocation of Salaman ca Chapter, h/o. 266, R. A.

Clyde Kelly of Kane, Pa., spent Strand Hall was well filled last Fri day evening the attraction being the Edison Tone-Test arranged by H. E; Hancock, their local representative. The exhibition w a s a truly wonderful one and those present were greatly impressed by the performance they had -witnessed. Mr. Glen Ellison, the Scotch bari tone, and whose records made by him for the Edison company are in great demand was the artist sent here by that company. Singing a number of selections .-with the phon ograph, he gave the audience an ex cellent opportunity to compare his voice with the records made by him^ for the Edison people. In some in stances the machine was started playing for a while then would stop, ■with Mr. Ellison continuing the selec tion. The audience was surprised to find that it was unable to distinguish be tween the human voice and the rec ord, as played by the machine. The audience was so appreciative and evidenced such an unusual inter est in the recital that Mr. Hancock has decided at a later dg,te to give another Tone-Test and it is safe to say that Strand Hall will be filled to capacity upon that occasion. --------- — oo------------- PENN. PASTOR OBJECTS Registrar and Recorder H. H. Bas sett of Warren, Pa., is of the opinion that there are many illegal marri ages taking place across the New York state line. Pennsylvania couples secure a license in one of the north tier counties and go across the line and have the marriage perform ed. This is illegal. During the past few weeks two we,ll known Warren young people were in Jamestown on a Warren County license. Recorder Bassett states' that the couples will have to be married over again and that one or two couples have already done so. He says that several Jam estown pastors have of fended in this m anner, but that he knows of no Warren pastors who have committed the offense. - ----------------------- 00 — ------ --------- Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W.

TIBBETTS UNDER GOES ANOTHER OPERATION The Vote NextTuesday Two Important MatteTs To Bo Decided By Wide Awako Salamancans On Tkat ^ Day . Last winter Asbeville, North Car olina, a city of forty thousand peo ple and one of the leading resorte and convention meeting places of the world' decided that it needed a band. Every one had^ known for years that the city needed a band. But the time had come when it seemed impossible to wait any longer. The mayor appointed a '‘ffiand” commit tee. This committee made a thor ough investigation and found that it would cost at least eight thousand dollars to gather and equip a good band of sixty pieces. That thirty- five or forty “jobs” would; have to be'” found for the many musicians who would ha)re to be brought in from , the outside and the committee rec ommended that an appropriation of five thousand dollars a year be made etc. ”” But the committee added, that ev en with the money in hand, the get ting together of a good band was a very difficult problem, Ashville is still after a band. Sal amanca happens to be more fortun ate. It not only has a band. There are lots and lots of bands, but Sala manca has the ERIE Band, which is no ordinary^rowd of horn blowers and drum beaters, but a well trained band of musicians who can line up anywhere without fear of criticism. SaKmanca will delight to vote the small subsidy of five hundred dol lars for the band next Tuesday. Let It be unanimous. There is no rea son why it shouldn’t be unanimously carried. Every merchant, manufac turer, railroad man, in fact every body whom the writer has interview ed is strong for the Erie Band- It is one of the things to which Sala manca ^^can point with prlje” as the stump speaker used to say. And While we are on the subject why not speak cf the other matter that will come up Tuesday, and that is the thousand' dollars for the service men’s club. That is an excellent idea too. It gives the city as a body an opportunity to officially recognize our debt to the boys. It is a small sum but it is what they want and it will make possible the maintenance of a useful pleasure giv ing club and headquarters for the men who wore the khaki. Pro-Ger mans, I. W. Ws and Bolsheviks might not approve of such things as Service clubs and community bands but thanks to.the very excellent quality of our citizens)iip here in Salaman ca, we have very few if any of the a- bove mentioned breeds with us. So lets make it unanimous for “YES”. -— ^^00 ---------------- - CARPENTER-SULLIVAN Miss Frances Loretta Sullivan, daughter of Mrs. John Sullivan of 20 Sullivan street, and Arthur Francis Carpenter, son of Mr, and Mrs. D. C. Carpenter 6f Broad St., were united in marriage Tuesday morning at 8:30 o’clock at St, Pat rick’s church. Rev. Fr. Waish of ficiated. The couple was attended by Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
