Show GUM CHEWING ASAC0NTE5T Canton, O., July i. To find out who could chew his gum the longest, the fastest, and who could stretch It the most, ministers, deacons and elders entered into an original content yesterday yes-terday at tho picnic of the German and United Evangelical churches here. The competition was intense, but much disappointment waa caused by the quality of the gum, which refused to be stretched more than a foot or so. Finally tho prize was awarded to John Suters, an elder, although thr? Rev. William Davis of tho Trinity United Evangelical church was beaten beat-en by a mere fraction of an inch. |
