New Dutch Oven

The Ideal Bakery have just
put into commission their new
Dutch oven which is a novelty
in this part of the state at
least. The oven is a large
brick affalr the same as any
bakery oven bllt the Dutch
part of it comes i'm when it
comes to baking. Early in the
morning the floor of the oven
is covered with cord wood and
lighted. This Is allowed to
burn until it is entirely con-
sumed and then the oven is
thoroughly swabbed out until
it shines like a mirror. The
bread is then placed in this
place and is thoroughly baked
by the latent heat in the over,
Baking can be continued all
day and by evening there is
scarcely any difference in the
temperature of the oven. By
this method there it is claimed
that more even baking can Re

Chautauqua

Chautauqua
The 1913 session of the Mis-.
souri, Valley chautauqua open.
ed very auspiciously Saturday
afternoon with a good crowd
in attendance and plenty of en-.
thusiasm. Nearly all of the
campers had their tents in
place and everything moving
smoothly so that everyone
could enjoy the full program.
The program opened with q
fifteen minute concert by Nor
toms band which made an in
Simultaneous hit with the audi
ence. The band is composed
of college students and all Of
them are thorough musicians.
Their music was fine and an en-
core was necessary after each
selection.
After the prelude, Clarence
w. WATSON followed with his
lecture "The Boy Problem,

his subject but half expresses
it, he is enthusiastic over it.

interested in the subject. He
is a very forceful speaker and
held his audience from first
word to the last.
Saturday evening Norton's
band again gave the prelude
and were followed by w. w.
Wood who gave a scientific as
we'll as very interesting lecture
on the gyroscope. Nearly ev.
eryone in the audience had seen
a gyroscope top such as the
children spin but few realized
the many uses to which q prac-
teal machine could be put. A
gyroscope weighing but twenty
pounds will keep an aeroplane
from turning over, will guide q
ship of the largest kind and dc
many things which at first
would look impossible. Mr.,

possible to overbalance the ma.
chine. The lecture was very
interesting and instructive to
young and old alike.
SUNDAY
Norton's band gave the pre-.
lude and were followed by
Father Mac Cory, who chose
as his subject the "Kingship Of
Man." He is a very forcefu]
speaker and handles his sub
ject with a masters hand. The

contained the names of sixty
different magazines, which was
splendid. She gave several
readings with Miss Glenna
Owens accompanying her on
the piano, which were very eff
fective. She also announced
that she bad just come from
chautauqua work in the west
and that the spirit of chautau-
qua was not so pronounced as
1 it is here i'm the middle west.
Tie one town in California
where she found the most chau-
tauqua spirit proved to have a
president formerly from Oska-
|loosa, Ia, and vice president
from Des Mlines. Rev. Cross
then introduced Charles S.
Medbnry, as the speaker Of the
afternoon. He used as his SUBJ
jet the "Final Shapings Of
Democracy in the National
Life Not in the sense of po-
Ilitical democracy, but in the
life of the Individual. He
handled his subj ct convincing
lily and thrilled everyone with
This sincere thoughts. The de-
Imoeracy OF the western world
finds the individual man and
woman and we want to give
equal cpportunities.to all. He
started from the time our fore
fathers came over here and
Bought up until the present
day. His talk was along the
line of patriotic study and he
thinks the north and the south
both gained new aims and
ideas from the war. The tri-
umph of true democracy was
clearly brought out the other
day in the reunion at Gettys-
burg. The same charge was
gone over hut instead of bullets,
they met each other with songs
and cheers, proving the world
was different yesterday than
today. lie also stated that
when true democracy prevailed
there would be no such word
as niger for negro
"sleeny" for jew, and "dago''
for Italian. All class preju
dlces shall be put aside. He
closed his stirring address by
stating that it is easier for q
man to fight in war than to be
able to say Eyes" to the right
thing and mo" to the wrong
thing.
EVENING
The evening program was
given over to Bess Gesrhart
Morrison and to say that she
delighted her audience but halt
expresses it. She told stories
for all, young, old and middle
aged and each story was fully
appreciated. The little folks
as we'll SIS the big ones enjoyed
the Christmas story as all could
picture themselves in the same
position as the actors in the
story. Her program seemed
very short when she had sale
goodnight but when the time
was figured up it was founc
that she had been telling stro
les for an hour and a half
From all comments heard or
the sti eet today, a return en-.
gagement for next year would
not be out OF place.

Monday Afternoon
At Chautauqua
The large chautauqua tent
was moderately we'll filled Mon
day afternoon to greet the "
rolean Alpine Yodlers, who
made their first appearance eli
our chautauqua platform, this
year. This organization prov
ed themselves very versatile IS
they sang selections in Ameri-
can, German, Tyrolean and Bs-
varian accompanied by Tyrol-
ese instruments. The lady
who sang soprano, had an es-
pecially fine voice which she
easily demonstrated during
the singing OF the Echo
Song" We heard a gentle.
man remark that he had often
heard an echo but yesterday
was the first time he ever had
seen one. They closed their pro
gram singing Dixie which
received hearty applause.
Rev. Cross then made the
announcement that he had re-
ceived u Telegram from Smith
Damron announcing that he
had been unable to make con-
nections and that his baggage
had been mislaid, and then Rev.
Cross then introduced DIR. DAN
lei E. Jenkins as the speaker of
the afternoon. He got his au-
dience in good humor by tell
ing stories and he also announc-
ed that instead of being a min
ute man, he was a second man
as he had been notified ONLY an
hour or so before, that he was
to fill the engagement. He
used for his subject, the "Na
tional Greatness" and he
handled his subject very skill
fully. He stated that there
never was a time in American
history when political questions
were so great, especially since
the Spanish-American war. 1t
is nothing new for us to make
territorial possessions as rapid
ly as we could assimilate them.
We first took Florida, then
Texas, Louisiana Territory,
Alaska and then the PHILIPPINES.
We have always waged great
wars with invariable success.
He feels our success is due to
the fact that we are a God
fearing nation and that God is
the factor we must reckon
with. All nations have crum
bled unless God is the main
factor, and the wages of sin in
national life, is death. The
only success any nation can
have is christianity. The chau-
tauqua goers this year seem to
have the greatest enthusiasm
and we predict a very success

During the attack ON Fort Sumter
In 1861. Roger A. Pryor Of Virginia,
ex-member Of congress. was one OF
the second deputation that waited up
On Maj. Anderson. He was literally
dressed to kill. Bristling with bowie
knives and revolvers. like q walking
arsenal. he appeared to think himself
individually capable OF capturing the
fort. Inside the fort he seemed to
think himself master. and, In keeping
with this pretension. upon seeing
what appeared to be q glass OF
brandy. drank 1t without ceremony

"Sir. what you have drunk Is poi

GRACEFUL enveloping coats OF fig.

beyond all other garments except
those Of rich fur. In these figured
satin coats the design breaks up and
enhances the sheen of surfaces. Their
high luster forms a playmate for
color and light and the three dance
together upon them.
II one is looking for the luxurious,
It Is to be found in these garments.
In the new. and what are termed

suited to high occasions. Oftener
they are developed in gray. or taupe
or In some rich brown shade and are
more generally useful. Perhaps gray
is the happiest choice OF color for
them: 1t is at home everywhere and
