HUGHES' WHISKERS ARE CHIEF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CANDIDATES SAYS EDWARD STEINER

The chief difference between Charles E. Hughes and Woodrow Wilson Is Mr. Hughes' whiskers, according to Dr. Edward A. Stelner, who spoke at the Chautauqua, last night and is personally acquainted with both presidential candidates. "In their make up and their outlook on life both men are essentially the same," he declared, "and the platforms can scarcely be distinguished from one another." Dr. Steiner believes that America

COMMUNITY SINGING BY CHAUTAUQUA FOLK LEFT AS SUGGESTION

In a "request , program" which Included almost everything musical from

"A Perfect Day" to a string guartet,

by Tschaikowskl, the Schumann quln

tet made its farewell appearance at the

Richmond Chautauqua last night. The

audience was large and attentive, and

the program was enthusiastically fin ished by an American medley by Vic

tor Herbert, at the end of which the

audience arose to its feet and sang

The Star Spangled Banner."

C. A. Lampert, director and first violinist of the company, declared that community singing fis an art which he hoped Richmond Chautauqua would

cultivate. Compliments City's Taste Mr. Lampert complimented the mus

leal good taste manifested by the requests, and declared that the Richmond audiences are all that his com

pany could wish.

The program was opened by the

William Tell overture. "La Paloma," the famous Spanish dance, followed,

"Anitra's Dance" and "In the Hall of

the Mountain Kings," from the Peer

Gynt suite, were well received, but

the favorite selection of the evening

If the continued applause of the audience counted for anything, was a

movement from a string quartet of

TBChaikowsky's. The members of the company are C. A. Lampert, first violin and director, Norman Weiler, second violin, C. C. Dodge, cello, F. W. Haines, piano and Miss Elsie Hanes, organ.

Wenger, chauffeur, registered indignation. "Say, did you wake me up to come after Mr. Seeker and these kids?" he demanded wrathfully, starthis engine again to return to town. "Wait a minute," remarked Mr. Seeker. "Take us down." And when Night Sergeant Staubach saw Mr. Seeker, two special policemen and eight boys alight from the five-passenger rolice machine he opened his eyes very wide. "Why the parade?" said Staubach as the Chautauqua delegation filed Into police headquarters. "They pulled down a sign," said one of the officers. "We were Just having a good time," said Master Rost. Ordered Back Again. "Well, that's what you go to Chautauqua for," said the sergeant. "Get back In the machine and Wenger will give you a free ride back to the Glen." The two Chautauqua cops had to walk back. At a council of war held at "Patsy's" refreshment tent the antisign society prepared the following statement today: Rost Issues Statement. The charge preferred was that of tearing down an 8c sign from Its hanging place, thinking that they could better the conditions of a more beautiful Richmond and its parks which we must all strive to keep. As it is something like six escaped the; dragnet and reputation and it also taught our young set the ways of warfare. The boys all had a joy ride underneath the beautiful moon. Boys, listen, If you want a ride real bad, do as we do and get one, one way with officers but not to say of the real time our Buck showed us on the way back when the officers had to walk

back. There are a few boys who ran that will always be sorry they did as they missed a fine ride. If the police had had a larger number In their army they could have taken more captives thus adding laurels to their heads.

ONE-CENT POSTAGE FOR LETTERS MADE POSSIBLE FOR 1917

Efficiency in the post office department with a proper re-adjustment of rates will permit the government to inaugurate a one-cent letter rate within the next year, according to word received here by Postmaster Beck, from Postmaster-General Albert S. Burleson. The letter declared that the United States is giving the best postal service In the world and advised the local post office officials to spare no expense that means Increased efficiency. "This does not mean extravagance," says Mr. Burleson. "Every dollar intelligently saved can be utilized for the improvement and development and extension of service, resulting in the reduction of postage for those served. "Plans are being worked out for the solution of the railway mall service problems," it is explained. "Adequate compensation will be paid, but no more. By making those using second class mall service pay about onehalf of what they should, it will be possible to go before congress and take the first step towards penny postage. "The fact that this year we have a surplus of between $4,000,000 and $5,00(5,000 demonstrates that at last the postal service is on a strong, self supporting basis."

TENT IS POPULAR

. The Wayne County W. C. T. U. tent is proving a great attraction at the Chautauqua. Many visitors are entertained all the time and take pleasure in examining the clever and original posters. Mrs. Ella Wolford of Richmond, is the permanent hostess and is assisted each day by a committee from the county unions. Today the Scientific Temperance Instruction Superintendents had charge. This department is well represented in the tent display.

According to H. E. Lansdown, of El Paso, Tex., driver of an eight passenger machine that is transporting a party of eight from the Lone Star state to New York city and which passed through Richmond enroute this morning, Columbus, New Mexico, is no place for tourists. Two ragged slits in the hood of the car and a splintered rear fender mark of Mexican sniper bullets, bear mute evidence of his assertion. "Before we left for the East, the boys wanted to see the scenery in our own country. De didn't 6tay long. The Greasers evidently took our khaki dusters for the khaki of the regulars. We didn't tarry long in Columbus,"

says Lansdown. And Ms traveling

tLinTP This is the Last Week of Our August Furniture Sale Procrastination is the enemy of progress! There are certain Put-It-Off People in the world who never want to see past the present. "What's the use each day will take care of itself" they say against their own conscience. Such people will certainly NOT be interested in today's very important message, sounding: Fair Warning! Just Two Busy Days More For Furniture at Reductions of 10 to 50 Clear Moreover, it is alarmingly true that Furniture Prices already advancing rapidly are predicted to go still higher due to war costs of metals, lumber and supplies. Think-ahead People are buying this excellent Lifetime Furniture now at savings of 10 to 50, and to protect themselves against paying much higher prices later.

that they woulll have to go much farther to the Cambridge City schools. , Must Discontinue School "If all these outside students were withdrawn it would mean that Dublin would have to at least discontinue its high school and possibly some of the higher grades of the common school," G. C. Moore, a member of the Dublin school board said today. "This not only would inconvenience the children of Dublin but also it would cause the children af all the surrounding territory to go much farther. A big item of expense would be incurred by the township. Although Dublin is only about a mile from Cambridge City, if Dublin were forced to join in with the township high school it is likely that the trustee would have to stand the transfer expenses of the children. Dublin schools had 170 students last year, forty-four of them being the t high school. f Town Will Lose Identity. "Remove the schools from our town or from any community and that place cannot exist. The schools would draw everybody to Cambridge City to do their trading and Dublin would eventually become a part of its neighboring town." Mr. Moore explained that if this district is granted Jackson township and Wayne county will get supervision of

a school without any additional cost to them. The cost of the establishment of the school as well as of the maintenance is borne by all corporations Involved in proportion to the number of students which each has enrolled. All money would be turned over to the Wayne county auditor and then given over to the district. . Teachers and the school since it would be established In this county, would be under the supervision of Superintendent Williams. ' Trustees and representatives of each corporation concerned in the merger would have equal power in the governing of the institution.

MERCHANTS SUPPORT COUNTY AGENT WORK

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Aug. 24. The question of a county agricultural agent which is being fought out in 'many counties in Indiana, is being discussed here. The Chamber of Commerce issued to its farmer members a notice of a meeting to be held to consider the employment of a county agent for Monroe county. The business men are seeking to obtain a county agent because they believe an agent will show farmers how to increase their yields and indirectly benefit the merchants.

BARBERS OPEN EARLIER TO ACCOMMODATE MEN

Because of the large number of men who want shaves before they go to work in the morning, it was decided at the meeting of the Barbers' union last night to open the shops in the morning at 7 o'clock. About two months ago the time of opening was moved to 7:30 o'clock. At that time it was agreed -that the union shops would close at 7:30 o'clock In the evening instead of at eight and this regulation will be left in effect.
