Now .that chautauqua time is drawing nearer, the various committees in
charge express themselves as more
certain than ever that this season's
chautauqua will he the greatest success this community has ever known.
Those who are closest to the chau-
tauqua mvoemient say that the unusual diversity of this year's offering
and the extraordinary talent that is
to appear have made it much easier
for the committees to get results. For
they feel that not even the higgest
grouch of the vicinity cou*d go
through chautauqua week without admitting it had made him a bigger
and better man with a new viewpoint
in life and' a greater happiness of
heart.
As a matter of fao,1-, ahout the only-
thing you can get those chautauqua
boosters to talk ahout these days Ts
that remarkable program.
It starts off with an afternoon concert and evening prelude hy tho
Harry Bennett Scotcli Entertainers.
This company of typically Scotch
singers, headed hy the inimitable
singer and entertainer, "That Man
Bennett," appear in their native
plaids and tartans, and start the
week with a zest that continues to
the very end.
On the night of the FIRST DAY,
the marvelously sympathetic '"Mother"
Lake delivers her great lecture on
"The Divine Rights of the Child."
The afternoon of the SECOND DAY
and the prelude of the evening are
filled with harmony for both eye and
ear by the talented Mozart Orchestral
Ladies, who entertain with a succession of vocal and instrumental selections that are far above the average.
That night comes one of the really
big attractions—a feature"~of surpassing 'interest—the compelling eloquence and dynamic personality of
Hon. Frank B. Willis, ex-gjvernor oi
Ohio, in a tremendously vital lecture,
"Perils and Problems."
The THIRD DAY starts with an
artist's recital on violin and piano by
the Misses Margaret Ringgold and
Rachael Major. There is also an intensely interesting address by that
veteran chautauqua lecturer, George
P. Bible. His subject is "New Fads
and Fancies," and his lecture touches
on many points of interest in our national existence.
That night, Ilettie Jane Runaway,
assisted by the music of the Misses
Ringgond and Ma ior, takes all the
many characters of an entire drama,
with ten distinct changes of costume
in her dramatic reading of a gripping
little drama, "Just Plain Judy," a
tabloid presentation of "Daddy Long
Legs" and other stories, spoken songs
and cartoons.
On the FOURTH DAY there is the
appealing music of Hawaii as rendered by the Hawaiian Singers and
Players, together with a compelling
study of "Community Efficiency" by
that dynamic lecturer and civic student, James S. Knox, who, before the
chautauqua, w*ill have made a survey
of our community so as to apply the
points in his lecture to local conditions.
The cAimax to the big week is provided by Victor's Columbian Band—a
hand that is a band and that performs veritable wizardies of music.
In addition there will he the usual
attractions for the youngsters. The
Play Lady will look after the smallest tots and a number of clean ycung
college students-will plan and supervise the pastimes of the older hoys.
Among other things planned for
the children are a big costumed pageant and honor badges for those hoys
and girls who earn the money for
their own tickets.

C. C. M'CLOSKEY.
From one end of Michigan to tha
other is the stamping ground of C. G.
McCloskey, state director of all War
Savings societies in Michigan. Mr.
McCloskey's headquarters are in Detroit, but most of the time he is hurrying about the state. He has formed
thousands of the societies this' year,
and the number of Michigan residents
who have joined these organizations
for systematic thrift runs into the tens
of thousands.
McCloskey, a hard-headed Irishman,
is too shrewd to urge the purchase of
War Savings stamps as a matter of
patriotism. He asks his prospect
where he can get the yield of nearly
4Vz per cent which a War Savings
stamp returns,- with perfect safety
thrown in. He tells the man his own
interests require that he should begin
saving systematically.
Michigan made the poorest showing
of any middle western state In 1918,
but this year its record Is steadily improving, and Its finish will be close to
the top.

County and State Bodies to Purchase
Stamps to Be Given as Exposition Prizes.
Michigan county and state fairs will
lend assistance to the government in
its effort to pay the war bills, by purchasing thousands of dollars worth ot
war stamps to be given as prizes at th«
1919 expositions.
At a recent meeting of the Michigan
Fair association G. W. Dickinson, secretary-manager of the Michigan State
fair, told the delegates of this plan.
Luman W. Goodenough, state director of the War Savings committee oi
Michigan, urged the fair executives tc
use every agency within their powei
to bring Michigan into the front ranks
of the states in War Savings stamps
sales. He pointed out that hundreds
of boys' and girls' Savings Stamps clubs
are organized throughout the state
and the members would rather receive
stamps than cash.
On motion of Mr. Dickinson a reso
lntion was adopted, pledging the fail
directors to the nse of War Savings
stamps as prizes in every case where
it will be logically possible. Many oi
the premiums in the boys' and girls'
departments will be in the form of government certificates. The directors
announced they would urge exhibitors
to purchase stamps with their premlun
money in cases where it is impossibl<
for the managements to offer stamps
as prizes.
Columbus, O.—'T never saw a
church which advertised and didn't
have a good attendance," declared Dr.
Christian F. Reisner, head of the
Methodist minute men organisation,
who is in charge of the church advertising exhibit at the Methodist
centenary celebration at Columbus, O.
"The church can't convert empty
seats, and the best way to §11 them is
by advertising."
The exhibit is unique, there being
not another like it in the country.
Church "ads" of every description—
ten thousand of them—line four walls
of a room in American building No.
1. They have heen in the. process of
collection for many years by Dr.
Reisner, who is head of the Methodist church advertising department,
of the associated advertising clubs ot
the world.
There are specimens of" church
pamphlets and publications of all
kir.d-. Advertising novelties of a'l
kinds, including blotters and calenj
dars, complete the assortment.
Dr. Reisner was the first Methodif-t
minister to adrertise, according to
his statement. Sixteen years .ago,
while pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal church in Denver, he had a
large electric sign constructed and
began using many other means of advertising to swell the attendance.
Since then- church advertising haa
bccomie an accepted thing. The original objections to it—that it tended
to rob the church of its dignity, have
fallen away, according to Dr. Reisner. The government's use of it during the war for propaganda purposes
did much to hasten this, he said.
"The church must sell itself by advertising," says Dr. Reisner. "it
must meet the competition of Sunday golf and automobiling. If we accept the statement made- recently, to
the effect that fifty million peorjle do
not go to church, we may then consider every other person a possible
customer."
It has been declared that a real,
sure-enough revival can't be held in
New York, but Dr. Reisner holds one
every year and never gets less than
150 converts. "I believe in advertising all the way through," he says.
Among the mediums which the enterprising evangelist uses is the sporting page of the daily newspaper.

A  STITCH   IN   TIME.
Labor spent by the farmer in sharpening his tools and implements earns
a thousand per cent interest, declares
Prof. H. H. Musselman of the Michigan Agricultural college. The average farmer is inclined to go along
with dull edges, little realizing the
tremendous amount of extra labor he
is making himself.-
Mower knives have to be sharp or
they wont cut, and are usually taken
care of on that account. Other implements that should have mare attention than they get, however, are
hoes, scythes, corn knives, plows and
cultivators. Plows and cultivators
are especially apt to be neglected because the horse, who does the work
with these implements, can't very
well register a kick against dull
edges. Tests! have proved that sharp
cultivators pull a lot easier than dull
ones.
"An emery grinder furnishes an efficient, quick means of keeping an
e*dge on farm tools", says Professor
Musselman, "and every Michigan
farm should he provided with one.

Right Ideas of Economy.
"Economy" means different things ta
different people. To the miser It means
stinting and being stingy In order to
hoard up a few extra pennies or dollars. To tlie careful housewife, the
shrewd busines man, it means saving—sometimes spending—in order to
get the hest and most out of the Income of life. To the clever, all-around
citizen lt means saving for investment
—for such safe, sane and sound Investment as War Savings Stamps provide.
Credit vs. Gash.
~ If you have more cash than credit,
you're a miser. Credit being more
valuable than cash, wis*e workers put
their savings where they will -earn
most credit and bring most credit to
the earner. Nothing like governmental
securities for establishing good credit
Thus the money invested in War Savings Stomps pays in two ways.
The foregoing appeared in the state
press a few days ago. The publisher
of this paper was a. little shaver at
the time Halsted was tried for the
crime for which he served so many
years, and we'll never forget the appearance of the corpse of his victim
after it had been removed from the
place he had secreted it to Delehan-
ty's undertaking rooms opposite the
office of the old Jackson Daily Citizen. It is a cinch that corpse never
came to life and is now walking the
streets of Chicago. Perhaps Halsted
will now tell just who it was he did
kill and secrete beneath the stable
floor of the barn which at that time
stood back of the old Davis House in
the prison city.
NEW POTATO DISEASE
APPEARS IN COUNTRY
"Potato Wart," a disease believed
to have been imported to this country
from Europer has recently been reported by the TJ. S. Department of Agriculture as having put in an appearance in Pennsylvania- Fearing a
possible spread of the disease to
other parts of the country, the government men are advising farmers to be
on the look-out for its appearance and
to report any suspicious cases found.
"In the potato wart disease the
tuber is replaced by a 'cauliflowerlike' growth", says G. H. Coons, plant
pathologist at the Michigan Agricultural college. "This growth quickly
rots away. Anything of this nature
should be sent in to the college for
identification."
