COUNTRY CLUB IS POSSIBLE

COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO MAKE THOROUGH CANVASS OF THE SITUATION The . meeting called by. the Van Rensselaer Club to consider the organization of a Country Club was held at the club rooms Friday evening and .was well attended. There was much discussion as to the best plan to adopt. Some suggest a large movement which would include a community memorial building, playgrounds, golf course and possibly a fair ground. The opinion of those present were divergent and it is very difficult to judge in just what shape the matter should be taken up. , The farmers of the county have a community building in mind and are working in an organized way with excellent possibility of success. There was a sentiment in the meeting that a country club could be organized and maintained and that there are enough public spirited business and professional men and women in this community to put the thing over. In order that the situation might be carefully canvassed Attorney Moses Leopold, who presided at the meeting, on motion, appointed the following committee: Dr. I. M. Washburn, chairman, Dr. M. D. Gwin, James H. Chapman, J. N. Leatherman, the Rev. J. Budman Fleming, Mrs. Ora T. Ross, Mrs. William Rowles and Moses Leopold. The last name was added by special motion.

THOUSANDS OF FANS PAY FINAL TRIBUTE

Cleveland, 0., Aug. 20.—Funeral services for Raymand Chapman, star player of the Cleveland American league club and idol of fans, were held this morning. While the bell of St. John’s Roman Catholic cathedral, where the services were held, was tolling, thousands of persons stood with bare heads as the body of Chapman was carried to the altar and the last rites of the church said. It was the largest funeral in Cleveland in years, and not since the visit here of Cardinal Merceier, hero of Belgium, has such a mass of people attempted to enter the cathedral. Long before the services started thousands of persons congregated in the vicinity of the the church. Mounted policeman and patrolmen strove almost in vain to keep streets open! to traffic. The service, a salemn requiem high mass started at 10:15. The Rev. Father S. Nash was the celebrant, and the sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. William A. Schullen, chancellor of the diocese, who paid Chapman an eloquent tribute. Chapman’s widow, a bride of ten months, leaning on the arm of her father, entered the church immediately after the casket, which was borne by Chapman’s closest friends on the team and in Cleveland. The ball player’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Chapman; his brother Roy, and sister Margaret followed. B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, and James C. Dunn, president of the Cleveland team, were among the first to reach the church. Members of the Cleveland team arrived from New York this morning, but Manager Tris Speaker and Outfielder Jack Graney collapsed and could not attend the services. Speaker had a high fever and did not go east to play Boston. All classes and walks of life were represented in the crowded church. Bankers and brokers rubbed elbows with laborers anw news boys. Every foot of space in the churrh was occupied.. Mayor Fitzgerald was absent from the city, but Law Director Woods, acting mayor and several members of the mayor’s cabinet attended the services.

NORWAY FORBIDS IMPORTATION OF ALL LUXURIES

Importation into Norway of articles of luxury such as automobiles, diamonds, laces, paintings, pianos, and phonographs, silk, jewelry, watches, furniture, furs, patent leather shoes, and motorcycles is forbidden by a government order effective yesterday. The action was taken in order to halt the decreasing value of Norweigian money, largely caused by overwhelming imports wßiile exports declined. American trade is therefore restricted, as the greater part of the articles named have been imported from America. The high dollar rate had already restricted the purchase of American goods. The rate today was 6.67 kronor to the dollar, as against the normal rate of 3.72.

Two years ago, however, he was state treasurer, conducting the office with credit to himself and to the state. “Mr. Small would bring to the office of governor the same practical wisdom and efficiency which has characterized him in his own affairs and his candidacy is worthy of the most serious consideration.”
