May 24. —Retail sales of Ford ears and trucks in tile United ! States rose .to 211,410 during April, a ' substantial increase over the record- 1 breaking deliveries of March, 'the Ford i Motor company announced here today, i {At the same time, it was stated that | sales of Vordson tractors, which have j been steadily increasing since the first \ of the year, exceeded 12.000 in April, j Further, in the high-prices car field. ! sales of Lincoln cars, which are pro- j ductal by a division of the Ford Motor rorapany. reached a new monthly! record with a total of 7(>2 retail de- 1 liveries.

THE CONCORD D4ILY TRIBUN* VSSCSSS3KSS2. 1 AND ABOUT CITY ' 1 ' CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES WITH A DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM Patrons Assured Another Fine Program For 1025. , Saturday proved to be one of the best of the five days of bigh class entertain ments offered during Chautauqua Week. The entire week was so exceptionally good that each day seemed the best. The last day was no exception to the expe rience along this line. At 3 :30 a fairly full tent greeted the Hawaiians. Their music, their actions and their (ooks for the most part, added to the reality of the entertainment. In all this they were "simply wonderful’’ as was stated by a number of the pleased hearers. Following the prelude for the nfter noon Miss Virginia Slade gave a very re markable presentation of the story “Within the Low.” Her work was ex tremely artistic. The eharaeters stood forth in a remarkable way. The play was in four acts and required her imper , sonating sixteen characters, most of them very difficult tot present. Her stage man ner, is happily such that her audience "accepts" her the moment she steps for ward. She worked under quite a handi cap si nee her work was of sueb a differ ent nature to that of the Hawiaans who immediately preceded her. Yet she ov ercame that and held her audience, large and small alike throughout the entire presentation. The night program by the Hawiians was the real thing. They were delayed considerable 'time owing to the. rain which run tinder tke tent though not through it. When they did begin they faced a full tent of really interested peo ple. During this program the music and one of the other attractions of the afternoon were helped along by some ex ceptional scenic effects. The clouds were seen floating in frout of the ever present noon. At times the water of flic Pacific were shown iu front of the island. Also a volcano could be seen iu the distance emitting fire and lava. We doubt if there is a better and more spectacular performance on the Chautauqua program anywhere and that is saying much. At the beginning of the night's pro gram a few moments were taken by the platform manager in which the Inst few names were procured for .the contract for 1925 assuring the people of Concord and vicinity another series of entertainments that will please all aud offend none. Members of the Woman’s Club sponsored the movement that will bring the Chau tauqua back next year. Narrow Escape From Death. Mr. and Mrs. Ben 11. Ellis and three children, of Bessemer City, had a nar row escape from death on Saturday A right, when the Fold which Mr. Ellis was driving, collided with a Buick sedan driven by Raymond Herrin, of Concord. Mr. Ellis and his family were on their way to Kannapolis to spend Sunday with S. M. Ford, fattier of Mrs. Ellis, and had reached the slight curve just at the Jackson Training School, when they met Hit) Buick sedan, traveling in the opposite direction. The cars met almost head-on. the front part of the Ford be ing badly demolished, while the'Buick ' turned over in the ditch. Mr. HHtis wow I- badly bruised and received several cuts, while Mrs. Ellis was etlt nbout -the head aud face. TLe children escaped without injury. Raymond Herrin, driver of the Buick. was placed under arrest aud brought to Concord. Will of Rev. H. SI. Btair is Hied For Probate- Greensboro, .May 24. —The will of the late Rev. Hugh M.

Not likely that this will be any I ! ways near possible, hut Mr. Co-ok will ! undoubtedly gej a very large vote in . I Stanly, as lie will in Rowan, a dose 1 neighbor. The larger the better.

The Jackson Training School team made it two straight on Saturday after noon by defeating tlie Elowe's Store team by tlie shore of 2 to 1. in a well played game.

During the past month each of tho “Y" industrial clubs have been enter tained at a banquet at the Y. M. (’. A. These banquets were a series of get together frolics for the boys and girls in the “Y" clubs anil were planned and put on by Mr. Blanks and Harry Lee Johnston for the purpose of bringing these youngsters closer to the Y. M. C. A. and giving them a general good time. On each of these occasions each of the club members had a splendid time piay.- ing games, taking part in all kinds of stunts and-contests, and besides this each time they have enjoyed n fine supper. AH these supliers were prepared and served by the good ladies of the Central Association. and to them we owe many thinks for their kindness. The first banquet was given the Orangoutangs.' White Eagles and tlii' Red Birds, of the Hartseli Mill school, when they met at the "Y" on the evening of Ajril Ist, Several musical mini bets were given by Misa Mjllieent Ward while supper was beiug served. Xllss Lorraine Blanks entertained, ijar boys and girls with several readings, after which games and stunts were played. Very fine talks were made by Prof. Robertson, Rev. J. C. Rowan and I’rof. Osborne. Mr. Rowan recited some negro dialect which amused the children very much. Tlie next get-together was held ou Tuesday evening. April Bth, when the Eagles aud Rlue Birds of the llrowu Mill school were entertained. The Brown Still school faculty was present with the club members. The evening was featured by music and readings by Miss Lorraine Blanks; games, and sev eral splendid talks by Rev. L. A. Thomas and F. J. Haywood and Prof. Joyner, principal of the school, (>n April the loth the Wildfires of l No. 2 school met at the “Y" to cele-j brate the same occasion. About twen ty-five fellows were present.

Many a man has mortgaged his home, which reurgsented] years of savings, for an automobile, 1 only to find the machine an endless ex pense and the cause of him losing his I home. It is all right for one who may |e able to own an automobile, or possibly In some cases it may be all right for a man to mortgage his home to purchase one, provided he uses jt for legitimate business purposees, or moderately, for recreation: but this thing of driving at all over the country every night and practically ail day every Sundal, just merely for the sake of driving, is simply a crazy idea, and is doing this country more injury than most people might think. If you own an auto and you con af j ford it, and want to do so. drive it when I and where-you please. That’s pll right. | But unless- yqh have plenty of money, i U N e your machine for business purposes if It helps ybh to accomplish more or to produce more, but don’t go crazy and burn gas ail day every Sunday going howfaere. It’s too expensive and may menh the start toward a complete fail ure in life.

O. .1. Petersen, the veteran teacher and editor, who is a candidate for Com missioner of Labor ami Printing, was in Concord today and expressed himself as much gratified at the almost unani mous support accorded him by the rep resentative citizens of the east and the counties of the central section in which he has been. So far as can be determined by Ihe attitude of the voters, great and small, seen in catheru counties, he feels that he has the overwhelming support of that section. In a score of counties, Mr. Peterson says, lie found only three por fessed supporters of the present incum bent. while practically all the other men eeen assured him of their hearty sup port. Among the hackers of the Samp son man in that section of the State are such men as the Connors, Finch. Lucas. \\ rtson: J. O. Carr. Judge Houudtree. Wilmington: A. 1). Ward. Judge Guion. ex-Congressman <L\ T. Thomas, and J. B. Dawson. New Bern: John A. Gates, Dr. J. Vance McGougun. ("apt. Jas. D. McNeill, Fayetteville—but to name them till would be to cad. largely, the roll of the more prominent men of the eastern counties. In the central section, the limited time he has been abb to give to the several counties lias not cuabted him to meet the people gem-rally, yet the support ac corded him is most gratifying, and it has heeti only the exceptional man who has failed to espouse his cause. At Greensboro, the Greensboro Patriot, edited by ex-Mayor T. J. Murphy, has. cothe out strongly endorsing the man from Big Blue Lund, as have quite a number of other papers in the central section of the State. On the whole, Mr. Peterson feels that he is well in the lead of each of his opponents and that in many counties he will have a great majority over the combined vote of all. i’etersou is running on his own merits jand the justice of his claims. He is a , cfallege graduate, taught a score of years, and has given eleven years to real edi torial work, hewing to the line without regard to ptrsonal consequences. He lias devoted the past seven years to edit ing tile Sampson Democrat dud says timt 'VP vyry fact that he has successfully operated a Democratic paper in that rock-ribbed Repubiicau ,county is evi cteuce of both hip good Democracy and of ius business ability. One of the most significant services Mr. Petersun has rendered the State was in the exposure of the pension graft: list year, which has resulted ih a lnurg- of the pension lists of the huddred eouuties which, according to a recent statement of State Auditor Drnhani. has saved oae dollar out of every six of the Confederate,pension funds in the State. > ote for Peterson and be sure he will Both appreciate your support and' if I ejleeted serve the iieople with the highest efficiency; and as economically as poa ble. —PolitiejU Advertising.
