A STATEMENT ABOUT THE
CHAUTAUQUA

Friends: During our canvas OF
Lynden and the surrounding districts
with tickets for the Chautauqua, we
have learned of few who object to
buying tickets for the Feast of Good
Things on the ground that it will
take money out of town."
When one buys an automobile for
business or pleasure, does the money
stay in Lynden? The Chautauqua,
with its high class program, like the
automobile, is one of those good
town. and for which we have to seek
elsewhere.
If it were not for two of the main
''fore-runners of civilization" travel
ing statesmen for merchandise, and
Chautauquas or Lyceum Beaureaus.
only the large centers would know
One keeps the country merchant
from "stagnating," the other-the
Chautauqua-gives us the opportun-
ity to enjoy the talents of others who
have spent money and years iii per-
fecting those talents. Most of us
want to improve mentally as well as
materially. Realizing this, men with
high ideals have gone together, and
perfected the Chautauqua System
of Education and Entertainment and
one of the cleanest and best is the
EllisOn-White System.
In one way or another we all have
to pay for what we get out of life.
Also, most of us have to work for
what we get.
So, friends, if it is possible. attend
this years Chautauqua. You can get
mental relaxation, or you can get
mental stimulus for greater effort. In
either case you will get your moneys
worth. Come.

Chairman Ticket Committee

No snake is able to jump or spring
from coil in order to strike, as often
represented in pictures. 1t can only
strike when it resembles the letter s
and Is lying fiat on the ground. 1t can
then only reach the distance supplied
by stretching the body out straight.
The two curves in the letter 8 supply
this distance, which Is about half the
length of the body. No snake jumps
through the air to its victim or springs
clear from the ground, rising upon its
tail. Such stories and pictures are all
false. Neither do they coil like a rope
and strike from that position. They
may coil partially, but the part Of the
body that does the striking is ever and
only that part which makes the letter
8 and lies fat on the ground; hence no
serpent can strike when stretched out
its full length.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
Story Of . Lucky Stone and Tris 81
Accidents.

Story Of q Lucky Stone and 4 Tris 81
Accidents.
George F. Kunz, the well known gem
expert, relates this little story of q lucky
stone and the adventures Of It's owners:
Some years ago a meteorite was
given to Edward Heron Allen, the IA
nous writer on palmistry and the vio-
lin, and this gifted man always wore 1t
about him. One morning he awakened
to find that the entire roof above him
had fallen III except just that portion
over his bed
"He told the story to one Of the best
known ladies in Boston, one who is
known for her public spirit, her love of
art and her faultless manner Of enter
tanning. This lady successfully urged
Allen to give her the meteorite.
"A few days later while out driving q
great truck with two runaway horses
attached to 1t struck her carriage. In
stinctively she raised her muff to pro-
tect her face. The muir was almost cut
in two, but the lady was not hurt. A
few days later while she was walking
under some scaffolding it fell, and the
open part where the hoists went up
proved to be just where she stood. Al
though surrounded by ruin, she re-
manned unframed"
Whether the stone was a factor In
averting disaster to its owners In their
moments of peril is, however, a matter
apart from the facts in the case
