WHAT A CHAUTAUQUA
DOES FOR A TOWN

The great thing about a Chautau.
qua is not the program but the
crowd. The Chautauqua is the one
place in the year where all the town
gathers and each looks into the 9TH
ers face. Here sit down the churches,
the lodges the political parties, and
the business rivals. Here thev sit
and relax and listen to common
truths and a kinder feeling comes
and better understanding and
greater civic pride. Wars come from
isolation and ignorance. There can
be no war in a ChautauQua town.
Every year there is new crop Of
boys and girls who must hear the
basic principles of life. 1t may be
old to the crowd but it is new to
this crop. The impressions made now
persist longest. The Chautauquans
of today are shaping the thought
and life Of the men of tomorrow and
shaping the destiny of the nation.
The Chautauquas are among the
first great examples we have in this
country Of popular cooperation and
they exemplify cooperation for the
best of purposes. They bring be-
fore all the people music, oratory,
and miscellaneous entertainment at
prices within the slendcrest means.
The Chautauqua platform is immacu-
lately clean; it is fairly humorous,
and it Is distinctly educational. 1t
is infinitely better than city vaude-
vile in every particular. Moreover
it has served to acquaint the masses
with advanced thought of the day
more intimately than they could
have learned it from books or maya
zines. Our Chautauquas are planned
that we may have crowds in our
town; for we want Chautauqua time
to be busy time. We want every
body to have good time and go
home happy; but we want the folks
to TAKE SOMETHING HOME WITH
THEM Something that will start
them thinking, for when you get
the mass of people thinking in the
same direction you are going to see
results. So THINK AND PLAN FOR
THE CHAUTAUQUA OF 1914.

A MIGHTY SENSIBLE MICH
IGAN COUNTY CLERK

st. Joseph Mich, Dec. 10
County Clerk w. II. Clarkworthy,
appearing in circuit court today,
pleaded his own defense in the man
damus action brought by negress
to compel him to issue her a license
to wed white man. He cited
Michigan statute, placed on the
books in 1916, declaring no white
person shall marry negro. Mr..
Clarkworthy contends that the law
is still in effect. although popular i'm
preston holds there is no legal bar
to the intermarriage of the races.
The clerk ufrther contended that to
issue license for the union Of
white man and negress would be q
violation of the public sense of de-
cency. Judge Bridgman has taken
the case under consideration.

EXPENSIVE ROYALTY

London, Dec. 10. Since SO much
has been printed about the financial
difficulties of the German emperor
of Germany English Socialists have
been studying the cost of royalty to
the British people. The lesser lights
of the royal family cost the nation
a pretty penny, it is shown. The
eXtraneouS grants amount to $780,
900, of which King George takes
100000 Gin addition to his civil list
of $3.50, 10000; Queen Mary $50 900,
and King Edwards three daughters
$4,000 each. A generation Of
Queen Nictoria's descendants have
still to be provided for at the same
generous rate. These include Prin-
cess Christian, Princess i.Ouise,
Princess Henry of Battenburg, the
Dowager Duchess of SAKE Coburg
Gotha and the Duchess of Albany.
In all sum of $500 900 is paid to
the king and queen and the heir to
the British throne. Later on the
incomes of $4,000 piece will have
to be paid to the kings four younger
sons and to Princess Mary.

FLORIDA METHODIST CON.
FERENCE IN TALLAHASSEE

Tallahassee, Dec. 10.-The Flor
ida annual conference of the Method
ist Episcopal church South convened
at Trinity church, this city, today,
at o'clock in the morning, Bishop
H. c.. Morrison psesiding.
The territory embraced by this
conference extends from the Apala.
chicola river on the west to Key
West. All of West Florida is in
cluded in the South Alabama confer
ence. There are about 175 preachers
present and the lay delegates and
women attending will make the
number entertained about $50. The
people of Tallahassee, not only of the
Methodist denomination, but all
alike, have shown their splendid hos
pitality by opening up their homes to
the entertainment of these preachers
and delegates.
The opening sermon was preached
last night by Rev. j. F. Bell of
Barlow. After the sermon the sacra
ment of the Lords supper will be ad-
ministered. This is the only time
during the year that all the preach
ers have the opportunity of taking
the holy communion together.

GROWERS AND
SHIPPERS LEAGUE

Lakeland, Fla. Dec. 8, 1913.
Owing to the absence of Mr.. Cliff
ford, newly elected director, it was
found necessary to hold another cleo
tion to replace this gentleman, and
with Mr.. Turner in the chair, Mr..
j. X. Futch was elected director.
Directors held meeting and elected
following officers: r. A. Jackson,
president; J. K. Futch, vice presi-
dent; U. w. Iverson, secretary and
treasurer.
Meeting called to order by Presi-
dent Jackson and the minutes Of the
last meeting were read and approved.
The principal business of the meet
ing being the disposition of the fer
tilizer question for the ensuing year,
after a thorough discussion, it was
decided to dispense with ready mixed
fertilizers, and purchase chemicals,
each man mixing his own formula,
thereby securing better chemical
mixtures and avoiding payment Of
freight on filters as now used by fac
tories. The secretary was instructed
to get prices on chemicals in quanti-
ties and a committee, consisting of
DR.. Conibear, Mr.. Carter, Mr..
| Swearingen and u. W. Iversen, was
appointed to figure out each mem
ber's formula so that he can easily
mix what he needs to his own use
and land. 1t was decided that each
member disinfect his seed the com
ing year with formaldehyde, the con-
] tract for same having been made by
the secretary to cost the members
30 cents per pound, about one pound
being required for each sack at the
rate of one pound to thirty gallons
of water, seed soaked for two hours
and then dried before cutting.
The last and greatest question was
the matter of affiliating with the
Florida Growers and Shippers
League, and after much discussion
motion was made and carried to af.
filiate and change the name of the
association to the following:
Florida Growers and Shippers
League Local No. 2, Lakeland Pota
to and Vegetable Union.
Payment of seed potatoes was made
by most of the members and it was
decided that those not paying by
next Saturday would lose theil
chance Of getting seed as the demand
for same at the price made is very
large and sale will be made to those
willing to pay 80 that money for pay
ment Of car is ready on arrival
which will be from Dec. 20 to q
A public meeting is contemplated
to demonstrate mixing of fertilizer
on home premises at great saving
to the growers and notice of this vii
appear in due time. Next meetinl

A MARITIME GAYNOR DAY

New York, Dec. 10.-The commit
tee in charge of the movement to
erect memorial to the late Mayor
Gaynor who died at sea en- route to
Europe, has been informed by mari
time interests that today will be OBJ
served as Maritime Gaynor day. A
percentage of all the receipts of yes
sells in New York harbor will be con-
tributed to the fund, as memorial
to the efforts which the late mayor
exerted on behalf Of harbor improve
ments. One suggestion concerning
what form the memorial shall take is
that it shall be a pavilion in Union
Square to shelter audiences assem-
bled there for the discussion Of pub
lie topics. Such pavilion would be
open on all sides, but would have an
effect of exceptional architectural
beauty. it is said.
