N* N> COMMUNITY PICNIC GROUNDS AT ADAMS Improving of Sandy Creek Gulch Will Bring Pleasure to Many at Small Per Capita Cost—Vagarlttes of the Stream In Past Lend Unusual Fea- tures to Picturesque Spot—Former Stage Route, Northern New York's first commun- ity clubhouse and picnic perk has just closed a most successful season at Adams vilage. So popular and pro- gressive has been its summer that its future not only is assured, but toe Idea is likely to be copied by other corpora- tions in adjoining townships. i The resort which has been develop- ed and carried on by the people of Adams for the pleasure of any resi- dent who contributes, is located in one of the picturesque gulches of Sandy creek, a short distance above Allen- dale, near the town line of Adams and Lorraine. The spot is ideal for, the uses to which it has been devoted'and the co-operative and friendly spirit of the villagers has accomplished a uni- que development. No commercialism has been permitted, improvements have been brought about solely by the public enjoying it, and it stands quite alone as the sole recreation ground of its kind in this part of the state. Years ago the Rome stage road passed through the chasm of Sandy creek at this spot. The stream here has worn a broad valley between the shale, later cutting a new bed along the northern edge-of the bank and forming a horse- shoe bend, within which is higher ground, protected from flood levels. The old stage route entered the gorge from the south on a steep Incline, pass- ed across the higher ground and thus reached the opposite bank by a single span Iron bridge. With construction of the county highway between Adams and Lorraine this former stage route became a little used cross road and with deterioration of the bridge it was abandoned. As the Boy Scout movement grew In Adams a plan was advanced to estab- lish a camp for the troop. A small frame dwelling stood on the elevation in the gulch and this was offered by Mrs. Lovina Tolles, its owner. The property had been in disuse a number of years and was in need of repairs. The troop accepted the proffer and restoration of the building was under- taken and brought to conclusion under direction of Rev. Cecil Taylor, Episco- pal rector at Adams, as head of the scout unit. The property in the gulch was deeded to the scout committee and the boys had many enjoyable times until disbandment last year. • The troop committee found itself with property on its hands and a prob- lem of disposal. It was then that the community picnic ground idea took ehape. The plan met with favor among Adams lovers of out of doors and was put into effect last spring and carried on with such success during the sum- meT that there seems every reason the park will endure as a village institu- tion. Originally financed by subscription, funds axe being raised by contribution fmbijthose wfao'ejojoy the place.-Signs request those 1 who use the grounds to aid with their mite and the response both in money and material and labor has been generous as results obtained demonstrate. The old dwelling has been turned into a club house, not pretentious, but sufficient for requirements. Clarence Utley, of Indianapolis, Ind., had a cob- blestone fireplace constructed at one end of the main clubroom in memory of his father, an Adams resident. Out- door stoves and fireplaces have been put up, an iron stairway placed at the abrupt western bank with a bridge crossing the stream to a level plot on the upper side. The ground west of the clubhouse has been cleared and leveled for sports and quoit throwing. The roadway from the south has been put in condition and the old bridge made passable for pedestrians, a county road now traversing each mile of the creek. The most extensive achievement, however has been the creation of a swimming pool by damming the creek on the south side of the grounds. Con- crete abutments were laid down for the dam, which creates a pond of a sufficient depth to permit diving and of an area permitting acquatic sports and races. A substantial raft had been OUR SOLDIERS IN FOREIGN LANDS APPRECIATE GIFTS Lewis .County Chapter of the American Bed Cross Have Finished Thirty Christmas Bags. The Lewis County Chapter of the American Red Cross have recently finished thirty bags for our soldiers in foreign service. These bags are\ made of bright colored cretonne and contain puzzle, wash cloth, tooth brush and paste, candy gum, comb in case, hand- kerchief, brush broom and tobacco, costing about $1.25 each. That these gifts are appreciated by our soldiers Is shown by the following letters: From Major General Fox Conner, Commanding Headquarters Haw- aiian Dept, Fort Shatter, T. H. \I desire to express to the American Red Cross my sincere appreciation of the Christmas bags sent to each indi- vidual soldier in this department. I have been particularly Interested in observing the soldiers receiving' these bags and I was each time impressed with the effect the receipt of them had upon the men; especially those alone and without anyone to remember them at Christmas. It is one of the finest things done by the Red Cross. Most of us have an environment that brings or creates an unusual cheerful- ness at Christmas, but the soldier who has no home, or is a long way from his relatives and friends, has little except what comes to him through his organ- isation. I know that' these men are more than grateful for such kindness. The contents of these bags are sur- prisingly generous.v \In addition to the pleasure given the soldier it has a good effect on the morale of the entire unit. It assists in bringing contentment and an interest in the company, troop or battery to which he belongs.\ My dear friends:- I am very grateful for receiving the Christmas bag which you so thoughtfully sent me. I have no friends to remember me at Christ- mas, so I am Inclined to forget that such a day exists. However, the re- membrance of your organization brings joy to the lonely hearts of many soldiers in foreign service far from their native land and Christmas spirit. Thankfully yours, Ira Van Loh, Batt. B. 65. C. A. C, Fort Ambor. C. Z. During the year the Lewis County Chapter has also sent away 100 gar- ments, which were cut, assembled and made by church organizations of the county, a generous lot by Copenhagen and ConstableviUe. Fleet of Snow Plows Added to Road Equipment and an Effort Will be Made to Keep Northern New York Highways Open. The Colonial Motor Coach Lines, no., now covering New York and ex- tending into New England, is making preparations for the most extensive now fighting winter of its existence. A fleet of Walters plows has been pur- hased to augment the equipment on hand. It is expected a number of these high-powered machines will be allotted to northern New York, one if winter's strongholds, and that snow blockaded highways will be reduced to minimum. The Walters plows are manufac- turned In Long Island City. Their most important feature is a four- wheel drive, so constructed that, power is applied separately to each wheel, thus avoiding loss of traction if one wheel or one side of the ma- chine is in soft footing. If only one wheel remains in the road, it will have ufflclent traction to pull out the re- maining three. An official of the company says the lines have not had one of these plows off the road, and he has high hopes their efficiency. The plows are of he nose type, capable of going through a six-foot drift at 10 miles an hour. All the equipment in use last season is being tuned up for winter. Small and large plows will be located at trategic points at the first sign of winter, and roads will be covered as soon as drifts bother buses. Snow fences will be placed along the main highways late In the fall. It was said at Colonial headquarters that Jefferson, Lewis and Oswego counties are the only ones along the lines of the corporation which have not en- tered this phase of snow fighting. Officials claim the fences are highly effective and point to the open roads between Montreal and Albany as proof. TEACHERS' CONVENTION Central District Association Teachers Will Meet In Syracuse October 24 and 25. The programme for the teachers' convention of the central district of the New York State Teachers' Asso- ciation is practically complete, an- nounces Francis R> Shingle, assistant superintendent of schools at Syra- cuse and president of the central dis- trict There will be over twenty sec- tional meetings at the two day con- vention, which will be held October 24 and 25, at Syracuse. The officers of the central district and the various committees have been working for months to make this the best teachers' convention ever held in central New York. Excep- tionally strong speakers have been secured for these sectional meet- ings. The programme is so arranged that every individual teacher, from a one room district school to one of a highly specialized subject of a high school, will find something worth while during the convention. Mr. Shingle urges all trustees of the various schools to encourage their teachers to attend the two day con- vention, because of the help they will receive. There will be demonstration lessons where teachers may observe how others instruct a class; there will be opportunity for teachers to discuss their common problems, and there is the inspiration that teachers receive from hearing speakers of national prominence\ at the general sessions. The benefits which a teacher derives from these meetings more than offset the time lost by the-'teacher for the STUDYING FOR PRIESTHOOD provided with spring board and the ! district, says Mr. Shingle, pool is illuminated by a string of col- ored lights. A power line has been carried to the resort which Is lighted by electricity. Tables and benches are placed about and in season there are swings and amusements for the younger visitors. The old Mineral Spring property and the \Old Swimming Hole\ In the ravine would make an ideal spot for a Lowvllle Community picnic park. MANY FARM FIRES DUE TO SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION A Farm Building Burns Every Fifteen Minutes in the United States— Causes Given. ' Spontaneous combustion was the cause of an unusually large number of farm barn fires in northern New York during the past summer accord- ing to E. W. Vary, secretary otlthe Patrons Fire Relief Association. Mr. Vary states that although the summer was gunny and dry, especially the latter part of the harvest season, spontaneous combustion caused many fires in newly cut hay. The exceed' Jngly heavy clover crop is regarded by farmers as the leading reason for hay heating in the mows, it being so Compact that it is difficult to cure. He points out that since July 1st claims for burned property exceeded all losses reported during the first six months. Discussing fires from lightning, Mr. Vary said that a large number of fires attributed to lightning were reported, but losses borne by the corporation were no larger than usual. \Our losses from lightning this year are confined to principally to old and smaller buildings; the new and well protected structures generally are not damaged,\ said Mr. Vary. According to the national board of underwriters, a farm building burns every 15 minutes in the United States. They list defective chimney and flues as leading causes In house fires. Light- ning xomes second; sparks on com- bustible roofs, third; matches and smoking, fourth; bustion, fifth. spontaneous corn- Conductor Drops Dead. Stricken suddenly with a heart at- tack, John P.

Y., formerly of Ogdens- burg, who fought the battles of his adopted country with \gallantly and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty\ has received from the hands of President Hoover the highest sym- bol of, esteem that the nation bestows upon its wartime heroes, the con- gressional medal of honor. The presentation took place upon the south lawn of the White House last Friday. Michael Valante, the hero, now a little grey about the tem- ples, stood at rigid attention, while Col. Campbell Hodges, the President's military aide, read the citation, telling graphically of his deeds of valor in wiping out two enemy^ machine gun nests and capturing 31 German sol- diers at a crucial point In the Amer- ican advance against the Hlndenberg. Then, while a group of high govern- ment officials and friends and com- rades of Valentte applauded, the chief executive pinned the medal to the veteran's coat lapel. Valente served with the 107th In- fantry of the 27th division. The deeds which earned him his honor, con- ferred only by act of Congress, took place on September 29, 1918, east of Ronssoy, France. Valente's companion upon these ex- ploits was Joseph Mastlne, who en- listed with him at Ogdenspurg. Major Simpson said that the war department had asked him for information con- cerning Mastine'a part, with a view to recommending he also be given the congressional medal.

Well, here is a comedy of \God Bless the Irish,\ the rest of the week at the opera house. Oh, for the good old days of Tug HiU. and all that went with it. The management of the opera house could have been assured of a packed house every night to see the three Moore boys, with that best of all woman actress of Irish parts, Emma Dunn. Another star part is that of Kathleen Doyle, taken by Kathryn Perry, a former Follies beaqty, who is now the^wife of Owen Moore. It will also be remembered that Owen Moorr was the first husband of America's sweetheart—Mary Pickford. The Moores are the three O'Farrell's, Jimmy, a traffic officer; John, a police ambulance surgeon, and Dennis, a racketeer, and the latter's profession unknown to the rest of the family. The story winds around the episodes of the results of a quarrel in an under- world rendezvous, and Is full of thrill- ng Incidents all the time. The love story is one that is more than interest- ing, as it is mostly uncovered to avoid the remainder of the family becoming acquainted with the real situation of the younger brother. The plot is laid in the \Roaring Forties\ of the old days in New York City, and is a true expose of life In that section. Aside from the Moore trio and Owen's wife, Emma Dunn, who takes the mother's part, the cast includes Frank Sheri- dan, Arthur Houseman, Mildred Har- ris, Dan Woelheim and Al Hill. \Side Street,\ Is an all-talking picture and with the experienced talent of the old- timers in the play, It is brought out to the best advantage. While generally n making advance notices on a play at the movies, everything is devoted to the feature Itself, one of the best and strongest parts on the bill at this place is the educational reel. It is one that gives a whole lesson in ten min- utes while it occupies the lime light, and it is to be regretted that arrange- ments are not made for a short talk by some of our teachers to more fj^ly xplain the wonders of the camera's* brought out in this new series. *£be usual speaking comedy of the Rftwte Is also on the list. The usual matinee on Saturday. \Street Girl/' Monday, Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday of Next Week. The above movie is now one of the sensations of New York and is being played to the usual high prices there. It is of such Importance that the local management was obliged to take it for four days or not at ail until It had become passe. The \Street Girl,\ fea- tures Betty Compson at her best. She is seen, as a girl of the streets, who ob- tains employment aaa a violin player in a small Hungarian restaurant on the East Side of New York City. Miss Compson is well qualified to'play this part, as she started her professional career as a violinist on a ^Western vaudeville circuit. Seldom can a pic- ture claim four distinct song-hits but two well-known Broadway song-writ- ers have composed a quartett of pop- ular numbers for \Street Girl\ that 4>rotnlaeJ to gain, national reputation/ \My Dream Memory,\ \Broken Up Tune,\ a \hot\ stepping number, which has originated the new \Broken Up dance/' \Lovable and Sweet,\ and ^Prince of Good Fellows,\ contain all the elements that go to make up the popular hits. The supporting oast is a very strong one Including John Har- ron, Ned Sparks, Jack Oakle , Gus Buccola, Joseph Cawthorn and Eddie Kane. Additional is Doris Easton and the Radio Beauty Chorus of one hund- red, also Gus Arnheim and his Cocoa- nut Grove Ambassadors. The filming was done in the Little Hungary dis- trict of New York, and also in one of the big exclusive night clubs, where it costs $25.00 a look-in. Ivan Lebenoff plays the part of the \Prince\ and his kiss gains the little violinist wide- spread publicity which lands her and her orchestra at the top. Additional will be the educational, the talking comedy and the news reel. LYONS FALLS THE LOWVILLE GRANGE Address on the Proposed County Hos- pital by Milton W. Holt-Interest- ing Programme Bendered. The last meeting of the Lowville Grange was held Friday evening, Sep- tember 27, and there was a good at- tendance. The following programme was presented as the fourth part of the competitive nights: Song, by the Grange, \Carry Me Back to Old Vir- ginia.\ Short address, \The Propos- ed County Hospital,\ Milton W. Holt. Mr. Holt said I this hospital would not cost over $200,000, and the state as- sumes half the cost of construction and maintenance. He said that'the taxes are borne by only one out of every five Inhabitants, and estimated the in- crease In tax the hospital would mean to the taxpayers of the county. He em- phasized the need this county has of hospital service, mentioned the addi- tional chances of loss of life when patients in emergency cases have to be taken to some near-by city for hos- pital aid, and concluded his fine talk with an appeal \Humanity demands our cooperation.\ The audience thoroughly delighted In two German selections given by the quartette, Sister Howard Glenn of Rtverbank Grange, Sister Amelia Steria and Sidney and William Virk- ler. Mrs. Earl Stanton gave a humor- ous reading. This was followed by a debate: \Resolved that the education of fifty to 100 years ago was a more complete education than that of the present.\ Affirmative, Elisabeth Ar- thur, and S. Maude Arthur; negative, Mrs. Louis Archer and Mrs. Joseph Martin. The judges were Milton Holt, Fred H. Loucks, and Mrs. Ethel Bout- well. Considerable interest was shown in the various points brought out on both sides in the fifteen minute de- bate. Thhe decision was two to one in favor of the negative. After the debate, a duet and encore were given by Florence and Maynard Barrett, who motored from Utica to give a part of the program, and who received a warm welcome from old friends. A short play, \That Hired Man,\ was given by Mr. and Mrs. J^on Hall and Harold Boshart, under the direction of Leland Hall.

All Grangers are requested to bring can- ned fruit or canned vegetables to the next meeting, or leave them at F. J. {Guepe's store. Marked cans will be returned. Mrs. Hall also announced the prize speaking contest open to all pupils in rural schools, to be held at a later date. Lewis Boshart gave an interesting account of the \Merry Neighbors eight, at Denmark Grange. Several names were elected to membership, and & number were presented. It is ex- pected that a large class, will receive the first and second degrees at the next meeting, October 13U At the close of the meeting, old-faslttfbed dances .were enjoyed.

This German cineroman production has an entire foreign jj&fitl-and the claim is well sustained that it contains more beautiful women than ever be- fore assembled in a foreign picture. The lead is taken by the well-known Russian Actor, Ivan Mosjoukine, who supported Mary Philbin in \Surrender.\ It has sequences in color by a unique hand colored process possible only In France. In stage setting it is one of the greatest ever brought from the other side. The story is one of luxury, waste, and women with all the fineries and glamour that goes with the roues of the Seventeenth Century. There is also a good coomedy and the news reel. \Thunder/ with JLon Chaney, Friday and Saturday, October 4-6. The many admirers of Lon Chaney will now see him in a new role and of a different kind from any In which he has previously appeared. It is a railroad story full of thrills and human Interest that keep&everyone more than pleased with Its sequences. The charac- ter is an ideal one for Chaney, as he is an old railroad engineer, crusty, gruff and growly all the time. His characterization is an intensly human one, and will live long In the memory of those who see it as it is full of the thrills of railroad life and its dangers. Through it all runs a fascinating love story with the characters in the hands of Phyllis Haver, and James Murray, supported by George Duryea, Frances Morris and Wally Albright, Jr. There will also be the concluding chapters of the serial, and the regular comedy.
