CHAUTAUQUA
TO BE BIG EVENT
Miss Mable Bible ot Saline Becomes
Bride of diaries W. Obo<5.
Saline Is Enthusiastic For
Its Coining.
Our Community Chautauqua is
but a short time away and? Saline
Is waxing enthusiastic over its coming. Tickets will -soon be on. sale
and will go rapidly .due to the
splendid efforts of jChe locail committee and the-.generous cooperation
of our citizens, who realize what the
chautauqua means to our town.
Because of the .splendid program of
lectures, music and entertainment,
most people are planning to , spend
their vacations here where they may
have all the comforts of home and
at the same time bs entertained by
the best talent of the country at a
minimum price.
The Community Chautauqua's reputation for presenting the finest five
day 'program in America has been
upheld. A glance at the great array
of talent more than justifies this
claim. This remarkable all stair
program opens with a lecture on the
first evening by the inspirational
speaker, Roland A. Nichols, who in
his own inimitable way will present
his famous lecture, "A Man "Worth
While." He will be preluded by
the Clifford Foote Trio, a' company
of artists who present a program of
music, song and story, interspersed
with clever  water-cplor sketching.
Lover? of good music are to be
given a treat on the second day of
the Community Chautauqua program
when Ambrose Wyrick, famous tenor
soloist, will present two musical
preludes. He ds ably assisted by
Albert Heilman, the talented pianist.
One of the great events of the
week comes on the second day when
the magical Floyds, those masters
of tricks and illusions, present their
entertain'ir_g^ program., of .mystery,'
mind-reading, melody and mirth. To
attend this entertainment would almost convince you of the supernatural, although the Floyds assure you
that their wizardy is not anything
but a trick. No entertainment could
be more appropriate as a vacation,
offering than that given by these
unique   "puzzle-.peopl.e."
The third clay will bring these
four chautauqua favorites, - the
Boston String Quartette, with their
beautiful, inspiring music. These
musicians with their violin, cello
and piano music radiate the spirit
of the chautauqua and never fail to
leave a lasting, pleasing impression
with their audience.
On the third day, Hon. \Y. I. Nolan
will launch his famous hard-hitting,
truthful message entitled, "We, the
People." Mr. Nolan is a master
orator and Iris lecture is full of that
ringing sincerity and clean humor
which so characterizes time Americanism.
Those unique -players—Rudolph's
Swiss Enetrtainers—are the feature
of the fourth day, appearing in their
quaint Alpine costumes and bringing
to you the spirit, songs and musics
their mountainous homes in Switzerland.
Dr. Joseph Clare wili lecFure on
"Russia's Red Riddle'5 on the fourth
day. Here is a story that will thrill
you from start to finish. Dr. Clare
will be one of the most popular attractions  of this year.
The well known and ever popular
comic opera, "Chimes of Norman-
die" will be given the last day.
This talented cast with bsautiful
costumes and special scenery offers
chautauqua patrons the highest" type
of musical entertainment and brings
to a climax one of the finest chautauqua programs ever presented in
our town.

THE CHEAT QUESTION AGAIN
We recently nuade the statement in
these columns that wheat does not
turn to cheat. We have bc-en sur-
i.a-lsed at the storm of protest this
statement has raised. To save replying to aill these objectors by mail wc
do so here:
Whenever ^there is a weed that
likes to grow with a certain crop,
and wlhieh has about the same habits
as that crop, except that it ripens
seed -a, little earlier and sheds a good
part pf its seed before the main crop
fis harvested, thejre are people who
are dead, certain that unfavorable
conditions will cause that croip to
turn to that particular weed. In "the
rice fields of the south it is a very
common belief that ordinary rice
turns to red rice. In the winter oats
district of the south oats are supposed to turn to cheat. Farther north,
a-e ,is said to make this remlarkable
'31--*- t   **.'   s -      '--   '■•"* -    '*'     -'*"
fihange.
Friends, there is -4iothin.g to it.
None of these crops ever, under any
conditions, turns into sonnothing else
as different as cheat is from wheat,
This matter has been tested thoroughly. Cheat comes only from cheat
seed. It can't any more come from
wheat, or oats, or rye, than a chicken-hawk can hatch from a hen egg.
One correspondent tells of a pasture that had n,t borne a crop for
years. It was sown to wheat containing no cheat, ami half the drop
was cheat. This could only have
come about by the fact thait ^either
the man who sowed the wheat was
mistaken about the seed having no
cheat in it, by the droppings of animals on the pasture after eating
cheat seed,, or by some one deliber--
ately sowing cheat seed on the land.
Other supposed proofs are to be explained in tha same way.—Prairie
Farmer.
