MAY HIRE FARMING EXPERT
As a Result Of Chau,suqua Community
Building Lecture in Mt.
Vernon, o.

Following the Chautauqua at Mt.
Vernon, o., in 1914, the Mt Vernon
Banner said that as a result OF the
lecture on Community Building" at
the Chautauqua, local members OF
the Citizens Association discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY Of hiring an agricul-
tural expert to spend the entire year
in Knox county and offer his techni-
cal knowledge gratis to farmers.
Continuing, the Banner said:
an an Iowa county, such an expert
returned $4,000 to the farmers in a
larger production of corn and in
stamping out hog cholera. The sal
airy for such man would run be-
tween $1,000 and $1,000 per year.
an addition TO his giving practical
advice, the work Of the expert is to
establish better community feeling.
A dozen farm families are grouped
into a district. and these districts
hold basket picnics twice a month
and are addressed by the expert upon
some phase of agriculture"

A blind man sitting in a Chautau-

hearing Wells Watson Ginns rendi-
ton of "The Man From Home" de-
clared that, had he not been informed
otherwise, he would surely have
thought that the play was being pro-
duced by a group of ten actors in

ten actors in the play. Each character

Best of all, Booth Harrington, one
of the authors of "The Man From

Interpretation of his play and ex-
presses his delight in letter to Mr..
CHM.

tauquas last season, the tour begin

rendition of "The Man From Home"
and it was conceded to be a leading
feature of the program
On June s a communication to the
Rcdpath Bureau from Winona, Miss,
signed by five people, read in part as
follows: "Our people were delighted
with Mr.. Wells Watson CHM. The

most attractive entertainments OF Our

II Is also up TO the mayor TO
decide on a fire commissioner to
succeed the late Louis C. Katz, who
died about six months ago. The
mayor has delayed making the ap-
polntment because OF the number
OF applicants for the Job, including
some OF Detroit's most influential
