LECTURES AND MUSIC
Congressman Kelly and Winifred Town-
send Concert Company at
Chautauqua.
From newsboy to floor-leader in the
House of Representatives! In this
achievement is reflected some of the
"fighting" qualities of Congressman
M. Clyde Kelly,, of Braddock, Pa., who
will lecture here during the Saline Community Chautauqua.
The story of Congressman Kelly's
life is interesting as throwing some
lights on the character of this persistent fighter for what he considers to be
the people's rights.
He was born in Bloomfield, Muskingum county, Ohio. He was educated in
the public schools and later attended
Muskingum college. After some experience as a school teacher and later
in business, he became interested in
newspaper work and moved to Brad-
dock, Pa., where he afterwards became
president and managing editor of the
Braddock News-Herald. He was elected to congress in 1912, defeating John
Dalzell who had been the representative
in his district for 18 years.
After a long fight against what he
terms "bossism" and "gag rule," Congressman Kelly was finally defeated by
the Penrose machine in the last election, losing his seat by less than 1,000
votes out of a total of 36,000 votes cast.
"But," says Congressman Kelly, "it
was a battle worth a life time's inglorious ease. The Penrose machine boasts
that it spent $100,000 in my district
alone, and still I lost the election by
only the narrowest margin. I have already started on the battle two years
hence and I shall not quit fighting until
the grass grows green above."
This remark, made immediately after
his defeat, is characteristic of the fighting spirit of Congressman Kelly. And
it is on some of the principals that he
has fought for throughout his long political history that he will speak at the
chautauqua.
Mr. Kelly • believes congressmen
should work—and should always be in
attendance. He does not believe in
partisanship. He is a champion of publicity—believing in publicity for all committee sessions in congress. He is
against executive sessions. He is
against "gag" rule and "bossism."
His lecture will be full of his own experiences and observat ons while in the
Pennsylvania legislature and in congress and will be on the subject, "Machine Made Legislation."
The prelude to Congressman Kelly's
lecture on the evening of the third day
will be given by Winifred Townsend
Concert company, an organization composed of Miss Winifred Townsend, violinist, Miss Faerie Townsend, pianist,
and Ralph Walker, 'cellist. Miss Faerie
Townsend is a talented soprano, while
Mr.'Walker is also widely known as a
baritone.
The company offers not only a varied
program of violin, soprano, baritone
and 'cello solos, trios and quartet numbers, but Miss Faerie Townsend is a
reader of experience and ability and
gives a program of inimitable child impersonations and reading selections as
well.
This is the seventh season for the
Townsends, under the direction of Miss
Winifred Townsend. Their program
includes both classical and popular numbers, with a plentiful "sprinkling" of
humorous readings and impersonations.
The Winifred Townsend Concert company will give the full program on the
afternoon of the third day.
A lecture fully entertaining as that
by Congressman Kelly will be the one
given on the afternoon of the fourth
day of the chautauqua by Dr. Ernest G.
Shouse. He will speak on the subject,
"The Humor and Philosophy of Habit."
Dr. Shouse is by birth and education a
Southener—tall of statue, broad of
mind and big of heart. Because of his
ability as a publicist, Dr. Shouse has
been urged to become a candidate for
political office and has been tendered
the nomination for governor and United
States senator in Kansas.
The lecture by Dr. Shouse will be preceded by a concert given by the Kilties
Band, one of the best known bands of
this and other countries. The Kilties,
who appear in full Scottish costumes
will give a full program of band music,
vocal solos and bag pipe solos on the evening of the fourth day.
Other numbers offered on the program
for the chautauqua are: two lectures
by George H. Spencer, of Massachusetts, a humorous speaker on the first
day; two lectures by Mrs. Demarchus
Brown, of Indianapolis, on the second
day, and a lecture on community development by a well known expert on the
fifth d y. These lectures will be accompanied by such entertainment features
as Monanelli's Venetian Quartet, Frederic Marston, basso, Ray Newton, magician, and the Stratford Opera company.
Starve Out the Hessian Fly
The Hessian fly, being in the "flaxseed" stage in wheat stubble and in
unbaryested wheat from June till September, or even October in the south,
can be destroyed by carrying out the
following methods of control:
1—Burn, where possible and safe,
all stubble and ruined wheat.
2—Disk all stubble and ruined wheat
immediately.after harvest, where burning is impracticable.
3—Plow under deeply all stubble and
ruined wheat fields before August 15,
harrow the ground, and roll if necessary.
4—Harrow, disk, pasture or otherwise effectually destroy all volunteer
wheat.        _ *
5—As a measure preparatory to sowing, plow as early and deeply as existing conditions will permit; disk,
harrow and roll until a thoroughly
pulverized, compact seed bed is
obtained.
6—Do not sow wheat until after fly-
free date, approximately September
20th in this section.
7—Rotate your crops if possible.
Word was received here about 4:30
o'clock this afternoon that Lewis Mc-
Kune of Lyndon had been drowned
while on a fishing trip to South Lake
with Cecil Clark. It was impossible to
get any of the details of the drowning
at the time of going to press. The work
of dragging the lake for the body is now
in progress.—Chelsea Standard.

THINGS WORTH WHILE
The Christian Endeavor convention
in Chicago on July 10 manifested^ its
old time zeal and enthusiasm. International speakers were present and
'discussed the issues of the day, indicating the new emphasis that Christianity should give to present day problems. Out of the turmoil and agony
of the nations is to come international
brotherhood in place of the narrow nationalism that is passing and in the
spirit ofchristian democracy we are 'to
have "the parliament of man, the federation of the world."
One speaker very aptly said: "The
trouble with some christians is that
they say, 'Now I lay me down to sleep,
when they get up in the morning.*' If
there was ever a time when every
christian should be wide awake it is
very moment when the loud calls of
humanity ring around the world."

find time to solicit for the sale of the
celebrated Indiana silo, but if you are

In the Circus Realm.
The Rohinson's Famous Shows have
spread a dragnet over the amusement,
and zoological universe, and hauled in
the ropes; have made a scientific assortment of the great catch, retained
all that was wo-derfully striking or
sensational and cast the refuse to other
shows.
If there is anything really worth
while in the circus realm today which
has been overlooked, the newspapers
in fie large cities have missed it, for
they have pronounced the Robinson's
Famous Shows as the world's perfect
show. Every field of possible innova-
tionjias been invaded, and every feature which would bring delight to young
and old is seen with these shows.
Do not fail to enjoy their great exhibitions at Ypsilanti, Thursday, July 22.
