Seldom has au amateur production created such a atlr. The reason is not difficult to find, howeve,. In the first place. *:'Kacha-Koo" la different. Prom the time of first rehearsals, the spice, charm aad originality of the clever musical piece captivated alike performers and committee Just as It will capture the hearts of the crowds who will applaud It from pit gallery of the Town Hall Monday and Tuesday eve- rMrgs, June 6 and 6. Then the best known people of Amherst are either ln the production or behind tt. What more la needed to apell that magic word success. But thia la not all. A cause dear to the hearts of all Amherat people la to be benefited by the sums which Kacha- Koo Is expected to pour Into the treasury of the American Legion and La- dlea' Auxiliary through Its performers nest week. The story of Kacht-Koo abounds In funny situations. Kacha-Koo himself ("Bud" Hearn), who la really an American aviator In dlsglse and who ia "playing* the game" 'for reasons later disclosed, Is first discovered posing as an Bast Indian Fakir before the sacred temple of Buddha on the private eatate of the powerful Maharajah of Hunga. The natlvea, including the i beautiful Oriental ladies and the sombre slaves before mentioned, are afraid of. him for they fear his curses, Supplications and offerings of all kinds have been powerless to stir him until two Americans, disguised as magicians appear mnd at the command of the Maharajah, the Imperial magistrate of the plate, persuaed Kacha- ~J**mtJe move,by garbing him ln the troaeere or a Frenchman, the shirt of a happy-go-lucky rover, the Teat of an amorous Italian and the coat of an American.

How they finally succeed and what happens when the real identity of the various mssqueraders Is discovered furnished tbe punch of real entertainment. Finsi rehearsals are going with a bang under the capable leadership of Mlas Dorabelle Strong, an expert professional director supplied by John B. Rogers Producing Co. Ia fact, everything seems to be in readiness and on the surface It looks as though the play could be given tomorrow night If neceaaary. However, there are many Uttle Snlahlng touches that must be given a big production like this even after players know their parte. All awkward movements must be eliminated, groups must move about quickly and quietly—aad delicate adjustments of dress count for much. This Is all Included In wheit Miss Strong, the director, calls "professional finish" and la what goes far to distinguish Kacha-Koo from other amateur productions and put It on the "real professional" class.

Amherst people desiring to send mall to other parts of the world may receive this additional service from the local post office at any time. BASEBALL GAME PROVESJOO 000" BUSINESS MEN FAIL TO AGREE ON THE OUTCOME OF GAME STAGED AT BEAVER PARK BUSINESS MEN TO MEBT TUBSDAY NIGHT The Amherat Business Men's association will hold a meeting at the town hall Tuesday evening, at which time all members are requMted to be present. Pinal arrangements will be made for the Amherat Baseball day at Cleveland on next Wednesday. A Special car will be chartered, which will leave Amherst at noon and take the fans directly to the ball park. Jos Morris aad Helen Jockere of Cleveland spent Tuesday at the home of Mr. aad Mrs. August Bablers of See- ley Tbe baseball game which was staged at Beaver Park laat Wednesday afternoon by the business men-from the north side of Park avenue and by the bualneaa men from the south side of Park avenue, has caused a great deal of arguing, fn tact, the outcome of the battle Is still uncertain. In laat week's paper, It waa announced that the northalders won by the tremendous score of 43-37. The southslders protest this announcement and claim that they won by a score of 23-16. It happened that the dope on the game was received from a member of the northside team, which might account for their winning the game, hot meaning that he purposely made a mistake in the score, but when the business men get together there is a great deal of rivalry between them and their actlvitiee In outdoor sports are long remembered. The southslders request that the official score be 23-16 in their favor, as they had an expert accountant keeping score in Fred Hogrefe, assistant cashier at the Amherst Savings and Banking Co. There Is no doubt but what his accounting abilities warrant the use of his official acore keeping, but out of fairness to Dr. O. M. Parker it will be impossible to pick the winner of the game. It hae been suggested that the game be played over and In caae that It la played over the official acore will be received by radio. Swbeerlptlen Price, 92.00 par Year L-- ■£!£, *—"* «'«•»*.., 'Sandstone Center et the 9tert*T BUCKEYE STATE IS ILI REPORTS SHOW OHIO TO BB PROSPERING—THOUSANDS OF HOMES BEING BUILT According to statistics of the Ohio Building Association League, the Buckeye state is smashing all building records this year. In the first four months such gains were made aa to cause the belief thet Ohioans thia year will build enough homea to take care of normal demand, thus keeping ahead of the housing shortage, which haa grown more acute every year since 1916. If the present rate continues throughout the year, It Is believed that the work of cutting down the accumulated -shortage wm have been begun. Within three yeara, according to estimates, the building situation will be well In hand, with enough houses for all. This means lower rents, people being satisfied and general prosperity In one ot the country's major industries. Even thia epring's building boom will have a big effect In reduc Ing rents, In the opinion of the league's experts. NeW resfdettial construc'tton' now completed or in course of construction has been accomplished In the main with $60,000,000 drawn from the building and loan associations of the state. Requests for tbat much more are on the books of these associations, it is said. Money is flowing in freely in most sections of the state, and there is every indication that the building booms now under way will not suffer from lack of fnuds. * This speaks well for the thrift and progresslveness of Ohioans. They have begun to invest more wisely. Stocks of doubtful value are not being placed any more for the mere proffering. They are being made to stand up under acid tests. As this reduces their number and the amount to be invested, the building and loan associations are getting new accretions of captal. Houses are going up, cities are Improving and savings are being saved. All of which Is another' Indication that Ohio la approaching better times. EDITORIAL With only two old soldiers left ln Amherst out of the large number which used to respond to the roll call on Memorial Day, the slse of the parade Tuesday indicated that a majority of the people in Amherst bad forgotten them, or lacked*-the patriotism to bestow upon those men who fought for us and our cause fifty-seven yesrs ago. The length pf the parade, had it not been for the school children, would have been very small. In fact, the parade In Amherst was not ae large as was the one held In South Amherst Tuesday morning. In this small parade were the school children, one Civil war veteran, six Spanish-American War veterans, FIVE World War veterans, several members of the Ladies' Auxiliary, several members of the Relief Corps, Msyor J. J. Smythe and Mayor Arthur Engle of South Amherst. Some representation for a town the slse of Amherst! With four fraternal ordera In Amherst, not one was represented ln the parade and from approximately 160 World War veterans, Ave were In uniform and marched In the parade. It might have been a warm day ta put on a uniform and march in the parade, but in 18*1-1866 and in 18*8 there were more than warm daya, but those veterans never kicked about the weather. They fought man to man for tbe cause and we can be thankful today that they were not particular about the weather. When Msy SOtb rolls around nsxt yesr, let everyone bear In mind the slab of the parade on laat Memorial •Day sad think "Did we show our best splrltr HEALTH HAZARD OF VACATION TRIPS COUNTY HEALTH COMMISSIONER OUTLINES DANGERS OF OUTINGS AND VACATION TRIPS LARGE CROWDS VISIT BEAVER PARK TUESDAY Beaver Park wss officially opened Tueaday.

PROTECTOR FOUND FOR CONCRETE ROAD NEW DI8COVERY ASSURES THAT CONCRETE PAVEMENT CAN BE UNINJURED BY ALKALINE WATER8 In its search for a meana of protecting Portland cement concrete against ther- action of alkaline waters, the Bureau of Public Koads, United States Department of Agriculture, announces promising results from treatment with a very fluid crude wuter-gas tar. such as may be obtained us a by-product from muny artificial gus plants . So successful have the tests been thst further investigations of the alkali-resisting properties of tar-treated concrete und mortar ure under war and the protective effect of water gas tar on mass concrete structures is being studied. The tri-atment consists of simply immersing the concrete in the liquid, which is soaked up, even by u dense concrete. Cement drain tile treated in this way und stored from six to eight months In u strong alkali solution have shown no indications of disintegration, and samples tested for tensile strength were as strong as those stored In pure water. On the other hand, untreated samples showed both disintegration and a loss of strength. Iu certain parts of the country where alkali salts exist concrete drain tile und concrete structures huve been attacked. In many such place's concrete Is a very desirable material on account of the accessibility of the materials that go into it. The bureau's investigations aim to devise means of using concrete with assurance. Through this new discovery, those ipposing the puving of Milan avenue with concrete will find that the con- e'rete will be us serviceable us the asphalt (lavement which is now on several of the other streets In town. It might further prove that the conn- iii were wise in taking bids uud letting the contracts for the concrete paving. , PROGRAM WELL ATTENDED AT SQUARE—REV. A. A.

It hae been suggested that the game be played over and In caae that It la played over the official acore will be received by radio.

In the first four months such gains were made aa to cause the belief thet Ohioans thia year will build enough homea to take care of normal demand, thus keeping ahead of the housing shortage, which haa grown more acute every year since 1916. If the present rate continues throughout the year, It Is believed that the work of cutting down the accumulated -shortage wm have been begun. Within three yeara, according to estimates, the building situation will be well In hand, with enough houses for all. This means lower rents, people being satisfied and general prosperity In one ot the country's major industries. Even thia epring's building boom will have a big effect In reduc Ing rents, In the opinion of the league's experts. NeW resfdettial construc'tton' now completed or in course of construction has been accomplished In the main with $60,000,000 drawn from the building and loan associations of the state. Requests for tbat much more are on the books of these associations, it is said. Money is flowing in freely in most sections of the state, and there is every indication that the building booms now under way will not suffer from lack of fnuds. * This speaks well for the thrift and progresslveness of Ohioans. They have begun to invest more wisely. Stocks of doubtful value are not being placed any more for the mere proffering. They are being made to stand up under acid tests. As this reduces their number and the amount to be invested, the building and loan associations are getting new accretions of captal. Houses are going up, cities are Improving and savings are being saved. All of which Is another' Indication that Ohio la approaching better times. EDITORIAL With only two old soldiers left ln Amherst out of the large number which used to respond to the roll call on Memorial Day, the slse of the parade Tuesday indicated that a majority of the people in Amherst bad forgotten them, or lacked*-the patriotism to bestow upon those men who fought for us and our cause fifty-seven yesrs ago. The length pf the parade, had it not been for the school children, would have been very small. In fact, the parade In Amherst was not ae large as was the one held In South Amherst Tuesday morning. In this small parade were the school children, one Civil war veteran, six Spanish-American War veterans, FIVE World War veterans, several members of the Ladies' Auxiliary, several members of the Relief Corps, Msyor J. J. Smythe and Mayor Arthur Engle of South Amherst. Some representation for a town the slse of Amherst! With four fraternal ordera In Amherst, not one was represented ln the parade and from approximately 160 World War veterans, Ave were In uniform and marched In the parade. It might have been a warm day ta put on a uniform and march in the parade, but in 18*1-1866 and in 18*8 there were more than warm daya, but those veterans never kicked about the weather. They fought man to man for tbe cause and we can be thankful today that they were not particular about the weather.

PROTECTOR FOUND FOR CONCRETE ROAD NEW DI8COVERY ASSURES THAT CONCRETE PAVEMENT CAN BE UNINJURED BY ALKALINE WATER8 In its search for a meana of protecting Portland cement concrete against ther- action of alkaline waters, the Bureau of Public Koads, United States Department of Agriculture, announces promising results from treatment with a very fluid crude wuter-gas tar. such as may be obtained us a by-product from muny artificial gus plants . So successful have the tests been thst further investigations of the alkali-resisting properties of tar-treated concrete und mortar ure under war and the protective effect of water gas tar on mass concrete structures is being studied. The tri-atment consists of simply immersing the concrete in the liquid, which is soaked up, even by u dense concrete. Cement drain tile treated in this way und stored from six to eight months In u strong alkali solution have shown no indications of disintegration, and samples tested for tensile strength were as strong as those stored In pure water. On the other hand, untreated samples showed both disintegration and a loss of strength. Iu certain parts of the country where alkali salts exist concrete drain tile und concrete structures huve been attacked. In many such place's concrete Is a very desirable material on account of the accessibility of the materials that go into it. The bureau's investigations aim to devise means of using concrete with assurance. Through this new discovery, those ipposing the puving of Milan avenue with concrete will find that the con- e'rete will be us serviceable us the asphalt (lavement which is now on several of the other streets In town. It might further prove that the conn- iii were wise in taking bids uud letting the contracts for the concrete paving. , PROGRAM WELL ATTENDED AT SQUARE—REV. A. A.
