Chaufauqua Game
To Great Close
Yesterday Afternoon

The Sixth Annual Chautauqua
came to brilliant close yesterday
afternoon at the Auditorium when
a large audience, which completely
filled this large building, enjoyed a
program which was one of the best
ever brought to a Lakeland audi
ence.
The Rogers Goshen Orchestra de-
lighted all with beautiful sacred
numbers, after which Mother Lake
spoke on What We Shall Make of
the Future" Never has a lecturer
impressed lakeland audiences more
favorably than Mother Lake, and
yesterday afternoon she brought a
message to her hearers which will
linger in the memory as the perfume
of beautiful flower, leaving an in
fluence for good which shall be per-
manent and lasting. AS she con-
cluded her address, Supt. C. Ruck-
er Adams, in very beautiful Ian
guage. presented hr a white rose,
paying her glowing tribute in
which he voiced the love and admir-
alton in which she is held by a host
of admirers in this city.
With a few appropriate words of
appreciation of the support and in
terest of the people of Lakeland by
Supt. Adams and a farewell num-
Der by the Rogers Goshen Orchestra.
the Assembly of 1916 passed into
history.
The pageant presented by Mrs.
Grace Lampkin-Giv under the aus
pices of the Chautauqua at the Au-
ditorium Saturday evening was most
successful and was witnessed by a
large audience of the fathers and
mothers of the little participants.
The execution of each number on
the program showed wonderful
training and organization for the
short time that Mrs. Given has had
the children under her direction,

and gave the people of Lakeland con-
crete examples of what intelligently
directed play can accomplish, the
children carrying out every detail of
the exercises with but little confus-
ion. Each number was presented by
the little folks of Lakeland, and
most beautiful sight, the graceful
costumes and rythmical motions ex-
citing much admiration That it ap-
pealed to the audience was evidenced
by the hearty applause that greeted
each exercise.
Mrs. Grace Lampkin- Given Is we'll
known as a teacher and director of
organized Fairgrounds, and the sue
cess of the pageant was due to her
exceptional ability. and experience
in the management of children, and
the direction of their pastimes.
1t was the enthusiastic opinion of
all that this was by far the best
Chautauqua program ever presented
here, and many words of praise and
appreciation of the tireless efforts
of superintendent Adams and his
charming and capable right hand
helper and adviser-Mrs. Adams
were heard on every hand yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams
worked hard to make the Chautau-
qua a success they brought the
best talent that could be secured and
that their efforts pleased all was
evidenced by the many words of APP
probation heard on every side. Yes
terday Mr.. and Mrs. Adams had
seven Chautauquas in progress-at
Lakeland, st. Petersburg, Plant City.
Dade City, Brooksville, Tarpon
Springs and st. Cloud-and all are
being most successfully conducted
by these estimable people, who have
the distinction of having the largest
string of Chautauquas of any bureau
operating in the State of Florida.

Fam land near Whiting, Iowa, sold
recently for two hundred and sixty
dollars an acre, and contrary to the
general impression, Iowa farm hold
ings are growing larger. Commenting
on the matter, Harry Whittier said re-
centlysthat in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Whiting there are ten or a
dozen farms of more than thousand
acres, each worked as a unit and
that holdings of three thousand acres
are now unknown.
Two significant conclusions are to
be drawn from these facts. Good farm
ers must be leaving Iowa in search of
cheaper land, and a farmer who can
make any return on an investment in
two-hundred- dollar Iowa land would
do well here.
Land in the vinicity of Mascow will
rival the best Iowa land for produc-
ton if handled with the same care and
labor, and the cost of marketing is
not so much greater here that it goes
far toward offsetting the difference in
the cost of the land.
Allowing fair margin for lower
prices for farm produce here, 1t ap-
pears that at least twice the return
in percent should be made on Palouse
land over Iowa land if farmed in the
same way.
Likely no better move could be |
made by the small farm owner in the |
middle west and the young farmers |
beginning for themselves than to
come into the country around Mos
COW. Practicing the methods of di-
versified farming they have been
trained to do, they should do far bet
ter here than in the Mississippi val
ley, and they could enjoy good eli

writes. This he does by outlining the
great and blessed hope of the church
