CHILD FALLS INTO
RIVER AND DROWNS
LITTLE SON OF MR. AND MRS.
C. E. CALDWELL DROWNS
AT POINT FERRY.
Little J. P. Caldwell, the five year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Cald
well, was drowned in Black river at
the Point ferry last Friday.
Mr. Caldwell runs the ferry at
that place and the little lad made fre
quent trips on the boat with his fath
er. The last time the child was seen
was immediately after his father had
ferried some parties in an automobile.
The little fellow was riding on the
running board of the car, and when
the child’s absence was first discover
ed by its parents they thought possi
bly the child had came to the picnic
at Newark, as the family formerly
resided here, and they telephoned to
friends here to see if they could lo
cate the child.
Being unable to find any trace of
him, parties began dragging the riv
er, thinking possibly the child had
fallen into the river. Sunday morning
dynamite was used in the river, sev
eral charges being set off, and a
short time later the body was found
about a quarter of a mile below the
ferry.
The family lives near the ferry
and it is supposed the child was play
ing on the boat and fell into the
river.
The body was brought to Newark
for burial Sunday evening.
A THIRSTY CROWD.
It is learned from those who had
the management of the picnic here
last week, that 7,500 gallons of water
was consumed on the picnic ground
during the three days of the picnic.
This is an average of 2,500 gallons
per day, and it is said tl^at this
amount of water was drank by people
attending the picnic, practically none
of it being wasted,.as this was looked
after very closely, the water being
hauled some distance and none of it
was allowed to waste.
More than GOO gallons of ice cream
was sold on the groudns in addition
to thousands of,bottles of soda pop
and othed thirst quenchers.

Miracles in Money
A city skyscraper seems a miracle in
steel and stone. But it is only a vast
number of girders painstakingly placed
together —a vast quantity of bricks
placed end to end and one above another.
Miracles in money are seeming miracles
only. You can work miracles in your
own life.
Saving Wins Success
You can have a big prosperous farm,
own a car, or travel wherever you wish.
Men who have really suc
ceeded spell it S-A-V-E. You
can win the same success.
You do not need a lot of
money to do it. You need
no great education.
You need only the determi
nation to start now and con
tinue. Let us help you.
