Sam Jones used-to say that "a Chautauqua was better than a dog fight, and
was a cross between a county fair arid
a camp meeting." While the sentiment was cloaked in his usual uncouth
style, still the idea he conveyed was
about right. Nothing creates^more interest than these popular summer assemblies.     In a  few instances street

f EAR CODLING MOTH
Thorough Spraying Advised to Protect
Apples.
East Lansing, Mich., July 31.—Fear
that present weather conditions, which
are declared to be unusually suited to
the propagation^ the codling moth,
will cause .an outbreak of this pest in
August has led horticultural authorities at the college to =issue a; warning ■
to orchard owners to "take precautions.
The" codling moth attacks apples,
and it is predicted that if farmers do
not adopt preventive measures while
there is yet time, damage from- this
source may be. as great as- that-caused
by the army worm.      :.      -      -    '"
This prediction, coming'from college experts who are given to caution
and conservatism, is carrying more
than ordinary weight, for Prof. Rufus
i±. Pettit, of M. A. C.fa year ago predicted the army worm, invasion.
Several thousand bulletins, carrying
warnings to the fanners, are being
Sent out. They, recommend that the
following sprays be used: •*
"Add 2}4 to 3 pounds of arsenate of
lead paste, or \% "to lyi pounds of arsenate of lead powder, to'every 50 gal-
Ions of dilute lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture."
It is necessary that this spraying be
done with great thoroughness, so that
the fruits and foliage will ,be covered
with the poison. Should very heavy
rains follow within two or three weeks
after the application, it is advisable to
repeat with the spray during the third
week in Ajgust.

The programs are of a high tone and
the- influences wholly uplifting. A
well known chautauqua manager explains the great drawing power of the
chautauqua by pointing out the .fact
that the programs are built upon personality.- People are interested in people. Human interest is one of the
strongest elements in our makeup. The
chautauqua presents brains' and character and human achievement.
The chautauqua ^s one of the U\os.^
democratic, institutions \a, America.
The audience-is o.n, intimate terms \yfth
the speakers. It is no uncommon.sight
to see a group, of peop|e from, thg audience gathered around one of the famous
lecturers, carrying on an animated conr

men claim to be .orators, but both have
"done things" and both have a forceful
manner of conveying their messages.
Every one-who hears the stirring utterances of these men will have something
to think about for days after they have
left us..   .
Dr. Bible of Philadelphia will be the
first notable speaker on_our local program. % recent clipping from a newspaper in a chautauqua town says regarding Dr. Bible's lecture, "Humor of
a marked degree featured "the lecture.
He brought the audience to its feet and
set it in an uproar of applause. The
audience went wild when the last remarks were made.".

A prominent musical critic recently
called our attention to the remarkable
list of music to be offered our chautauqua patrons. As he ran his' fingers
down the list he discussed the various
numbers with interest. He spoke of
the remarkable honor which has been
accorded the Illinois Gleg club.- T.he
story has leaked out that after the
Central §ys.tem had. contracted with

time in New York last winter wrote
that "they were the most satisfactory
musical company we have ever listed."
