A Gar of Proven Superiority
Mechanically and in outward appearance, the
Allen 43 touring car stands superior in the
light-weight medium-price class.
By actual demonstration, the superiority ot*
this new Allen can be proven point by point.
The engine and transmission, built in Allen
factories, form a highly perfected power plant,
affording abundant power and speed for every
requirement.
Unusual gasoline economy,, quick "pick-up"
and extreme flexibility of speed control are
made possible by the Allen superheated intake,
a notable feature in the Allen 43 engine.
Rear system satisfaction is assured by the
use of the Columbia full floating axle; "remarkable riding comfort by the fifty-six inch under-
slung rear springs.
Viewed-from any angle, the Allen 43 is most
pleasing in design. The beautiful body, finished in a rich dark blue, carries a bevel edge from
extreme rear to radiator. Trijnmings and equipment are of the highest grade throughout. '
A careful study ofthe specifications, diligent
comparison with other cars,, and a demonstr,ar
tion will convince the careful buyer that the
Allen car is superior.

Never have people worked harder
than our chautauqua committees this
season—and now that the big days
are drawing near it is beginning to
be more and more evident that sucj
cess is to be their due.
And well it should!
For there should not be a single
vacant seat for any of the unusually
strong attractions offered us this
year.
In an article of this length it is
impossible to do justice to the multiplicity of unusual talent we shall be
privileged to hear during chautauqua
week.
Prom first to last the features are
of a most unusual type, offering the
very highest class of talent to be seen
anywhere on the chautauqua circuits.
quits.
For instance, a group of the most
eloquent and informative lecturers ol
all Chautauquadom are to appear
here. Most interest, of course, centers in the great oratory of Ex-Gov--
ernor "Willis of Ohio—whose reputation as a brilliant and convincing
speaker is' nation wide. Governor
Willis -will speak' on "Perils and
Problems" and the application of his
great forensic ability to present present day problems nrovides an intensely interesting evening.
Other lecturers and their subjects
are George P. Bible, the chautauqua
favorite, who speaks on "New Fads
and Fancies," James S. Knox, the
community expert, who discusses
"Community "Efficiency,'-' and "Mother" Leonora Lake in her stirring appeal for "The Divine Rights of the
Child."
As for the entertainment features,
it is difficult to say which is creating
the greatest amount of enthusiasm.
Because of its sheer novelty, one of
the most talked of numbers is that of
the beautiful and gifted Hettie Jane
Dunaway, who is a whole drama in
herself. This talented dramatic
reader presents a tabloid production
entitled "Just Plain Judy," which is
an adaptation of "Daddy Long Legs"
and other stories. Miss Dunaway
takes all the parts, making ten distinct changes of costume. She is ably assisted by the delicate playing ol
those two charming musicians, Mar--
garet Ringgold and Raehael Major.
Two of the entertainment features
ought almost to be called musical
travelogues. They are the piquant
program of "That Man Bennett," a
Scotchman himself, and two Scotch
lassies; and the romantic music: of
the Hawaiian Singers and Players.
Both companies appear in the cos--
tumes of their far distant native
lands and render the melodies that
prove life in Scotland as different
form that in Hawaii as are its snowcapped crags from the dreamy,
drowsy Waikiki Beach.
Other great musical features are
provided by the Mozart Orchestral
Ladies and by Victor's Columbian
Band. The latter is one of the really
exceptional bands of the country. It
promises to close chautauqua week
with a sunburst of truly magnificent
music.
Frank Wendell Weathers of Green
Castle, Ind., representing the Community Chautauquas, was in town the
first of the week. He reports chautauqua crowds unusually large this
year and that the program to be given here next week is meeting with a
very flattering reception all along the
lineT all uniting in the declaration it
is the best the Community people ever had.
Miss Ella Boettger is home from
Ann Arbor for a vacation of two
weeks.
Henry Ormsby"arrived here San-
day morning. He reached Camp Mills
July 20, having left Archangel, Russia, 29 days before. He received his
discharge from Camp Sherman, Chil-
licothe, 0., Not a man in his com-
pany was killed or wounded, all returning in good health. Henry is
making his home with his uncle, Edward Clark, so as to be with his
mother, Mrs. Manee, who is staying
at the Clark home for an indefinite
period. * *

THE CHARACTERS OF
"JUST PLAIN JUDY"
AT THE CHAUTAUQUA
HETTIE JANE DUNAWAY
A whole drama wrapped up ia -»
single person—and that person one
of the most charming dramatic read-,
ers in America.
—That, in brief, is one feature of
the program of Hettie Jane Dunaway
on the third day of the coming Chautauqua.
Miss Dunaway is herself all ten of
the characters of her "All Star" production of "Just Plain Judy," an adaptation from "Daddy Long Legs," in
which are introduced other stories,
spoken songs and cartoons.
This talented actress presents in
a single program ten characters with
complete changes of costume, carrying along a touching little story
through tempest and sunshine, laughter and tears, unasdtsted save by the
delightful musical accompaniments of
the Misses Ringgold and Major,
whose playing on piano and violin la

WHEAT DOES NOT
CHANGE TO.CHESS
The County Farm Bureau office has
received a number of inquiries regarding the origin and habit of the
chess plant which they have observed in their flelds of wheat and rye.
Some farmers believe that wheat
changes into chess as it grows but investigations show that no such miracle has ever happened. The plant was
probably first introduced by the early
settlers who planted fields of wheat.
The chess is a plant that belongs to
an altogether different family than
wheat, and is reproduced by its own
seeds and by them alone. Its habit
of growth is practically the same as
that of our winter wheat and rye.
The seed of chess when buriefl in the
soil, retain their vitality for years,
and the appearance of the plants in
a field where clean grain has been
sown, can thus be accounted for.
Its appearance in a wheat held is
either due to the presence of chess
sead mixed with the wheat when
planted or, the development of favorable conditions for the germination
of chess seeds which were probably
buried in the soil for a number of
years.
Farmers producing inspected and
pedigreed seed are required to remove
all chess plants, and the appearance
of any chess seed in wheat is due to
careless inspection and cleaning, or
both.
Unless special care is given to the
eradication of weeds from the wheat
field and chess is present, such seed
serves as an excellent source of infecting new fields with chess. The
chess plant is a most prolific weed
and every precaution should be taken
to have all seed wheat and rye free
from it.
Grain containing chess is somewhat difficult to clean and if a quantity is ground with wheat, the flour
is dark colored and has a narcotic
quality which ruins it commercially,
consequently, such wheat is very
sharply docked in the market. Extra precaution should be taken not to
allow chess to ripen and" scatter its
seeds.
A fanning mill will assist in separating any chess from wheat but if
all the seed is not separated it can
be removed by stirring the wheat in
a barrel of water. The chess will
Immediately rise to the top so that it
can he easily removed. . Hoed crops
and careful methods of-tillage will
assist in its control. Extra jpreCjau-
tion should be taken not to plant
wheat from a field where chess has
been growing.

Keen Interest Here.

which young • and old impatiently
wait at this particular season prom-

It would seem as though everybody

new circus—Ringling Brothers and
Sarnum & Bailey Combined—has
been sufficient to arouse far more interest than has ever been shown in
the.coming of any amusement enterprise. And word from the Ringling
Brothers, who are the directors ol
this gigantic super-circus, is to the
effect.that those who attend the performances will witness the greatest
program ever presented in America.
This is likewise true of the mammoth
street parade, which will positively
take place showday morning, the
mammoth menagerie and all else
connected with this biggest of aU
amusement institutions. The famous
showmen have made a complete survey of "both the great cireusses and
merged the finest and best of each into one. Hundreds upon hundreds of
performers will appear in the gigantic main-tent. There will .be scores
upon": scores of the cleverest dumb actors. A gorgeously costumed pageant,
of stupendous size, will open- the program. Great companies of characters, representing the best loved stories of tableland nursery lore, will appear. There -will be splendid and
many groups of beautiful horses in
jeweled trappings. The - army of
clowns "exceed all past records for
fun and numbers. All contribute to
the biggest circus in history.
