MANY SIGN UP AS
CHAUTAUQUA GIJARANTORS

The towns and villages of the
United States are fighting the cities
for existence. The local merchants
and wholesale houses are fighting
the big city mail order houses. They
have started the community develop
ment movement to arouse local pride
and make the farmers and towns
people see that their best interest
lies in getting together and stand
ing by home enterprises. In this
getting together of town and coun-
try they have suddenly stumbled
upon the fact that the Chautauqua
movement is big factor. Realizing
this fact The American Lumberman,
Aug. 80, 1918, says: "The annual
Chautauqua now occupies SO large a
place in the modern scheme of edu-
cation, entertainment and enlight-
enment that little remains to be told
of it's efficiency in carrying light
into the dark places. The Chau-
tauqua takes everywhere the latest
and very best thought on the most
vital subjects" The purely educa-
tional value might be elaborated
upon, but at the same time it incl
dentally affords the cleanest of en-
tertainment, and that at time
when much that Is unclean, degrad-
ing and debasing is clamoring for
attention.
The time has come when the COM
munity must provide all of it's peo-
pie, but especially its young people
with clean, wholesome and inspiring
entertainment and instruction. No
means is known that has been more
universally adopted to accomplish
this worthy and necessary end than
the Chautauqua. If you are really
interested in the good of your own
community, and have its welfare at
heart; if you desire for your chill
dren and friends the broadening in
fuence of the 1914 Chautauqua, and
for your community of Lakeland the
many great values to be obtained
from this assembly, join your name
with these who have stood as the
guarantors for this assembly Of
1914. TT might have been that you
were out of town when the superin-
tnndent, C. Rucker Adams, tried to
see you.

pressed desire by signing as guar
antors: II. J. Drane, c. w. Deem,

game between the j. A. c. and the
Portuguese and another between the

H. WAGNER MAY
GRAB ANOTHER
RECORD

Hans Wagner is nearing another
goal. Before the close of the season
the Pirates great shortstop will in all
probability add one more wonderful
record to the long string of wonderful
performances that have been placed
to his credit since he first began ms
major league career.
This time Wagner is on new tack
and tie target at which he is aiming
is his 5000 base hits. You get that?
That's more than the entire Pittsburg
team makes in two whole seasons,
and yet Wagner promises to hang
up the record for himself in his 18th
year as National league player.
He needs fewer hits than he made
last year to boost his total for all
time to the mark. To be exact, he
has batted safely 1927 times during
his Is sensational seasons with Louis
willie and Pitsburg, so that only l73
more bingles are required during the
1913 season to send him over the
line.
Also we may expect incidentally
some healthy additions to the 1541
runs which Wagner already has scor-
ed and to the 636 bases which he has
stolen.
Record Of 800 Hitting.
Not to be overlooked, either, is the
possibility that Wagner will contri-
butte another chapter to the remark
able story OF unbroken 800 hitting
that he has already written into the
baseball records.
Even now he has shattered all pre-
cedent in that respect, for the Pirate
captain stands as the only man in the
history of the major leagues who ever
batted 800 for 16 successive sea-
sons "..>.
Until last year tie was the best
that could be claimed for Wagner in
this direction, for, although he had
annual averages of 800 or better for
Is straight years, the performance
had a parallel in the record of old
cap" Arson. -. =.
The latter batted 800 for Is con-
secutive seasons, from 1876 to 1890,
inclusive, so that Wagner merely
equalled a long-standing record when
he clouted in the select circle in 1911,
but last year the big German left An
son and all others behind by sticking
800 for the 10th consecutive time

Wagner's batting record for 16 sea-
