I. COMMUNITY CHAUTAUQUA. Lumberton, June 10-14 Your Vaca tion at Home With Community Chautauqua. Varation seems to be filling the mind o fevery one at this time, and quite a few are finding it a problem. To get what one wants at the price one wants is not always easy.

The Community Chautau qua is coming, and this year it bring3 a greater array or' talent than ever. The features are the most original appearing anywhere this season, so that those who want the best of en tertainment offered by the city are assured of having it right at home at much less expense. Fo rthis va cation saves one all the expense and inconvenience of travel, and gives the entertainment at a most reasonable figure compared with what it would cost in the city. The Economy of Buying Early A season ticket admitting the Chau tauqua vationer to all the attractions of the two big performances on each of the five days costs only $2.75- in cluding war tax, and the tickets fpr this great holiday can be obtained from the local committee.

Cale and the child's father both say there is not a word of truth in the. report, that ther wos no suggestion of trou- ble. In a matter that came up Supt. Cale says the child's father was cour teous and considerate as any man could be, and the child's father says the same of Supt. Cale. . The report does them both. an injustice. J- - :1
