LAKE VIEW DROPS ONE.

Lake View played in hard luck. and
with some close decisions. Anthem won
Sundays game to 3. The Anthem
team is a clean cut. gentlemanly ag
gregatiOn, and it is to be regretted
that they will not likely be seen here
again this year.
In referring to Reeds Grove Broth
er Smid OF the Breda News pays the
management great compliment when
he states that the large crowds are
evidence that people readily respond
to good treatment and clearly con-
d"cted sports.
Reed Bros and the baseball man

public for the great success of this
year Many improvements will be
made before another season arrives.

Ethan Allen ,Enlist..

Butte, Mont, July 16.--Ethan
Allen, direct descendant of the
original Ethan Allen of Fort Ticon-
|deroga fame, was accepted for en-
listment in the United States ma
rine corps here today. He has been
principal Of school in the state for
the last three years, and has also
taught in Ohio and North Dakota.
Aliens enlistment recalls the early
days of American history when Ft.
|Ticonderoga was held in turn by
the French and British until finally
captured by the illustrious grandsire
in 1775. 1t is another reminder of
the wiping out Of old differences be-
tween nations, happily now serving
together against common enemy.

Fight hook Worm in Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro. July 16.-
Through the efforts of DR.. Charles
Seidl, director of the public health
department, and Drs. Lewis Wendell
Hackett and George Stone Of the
Rockefeller Foundation, the govern
ment has given the American insti-
tuition free hand to wage campaign
on the "hook worm" in the interior
OF Brazil.
The percentage of inhabitants of
the outlying districts afflicted with
this disease is high, according to
health department officials.
Creditable work has already been
done by the American physicians and
it is believed the proposed campaign
will be of inestimable value in the
Stimulation of agricultural enter
prise. ~.

(From Saturdays Daily.)

Yesterday brought the first of this
years morning hour lectures at the
Chautauqua, and, maintaining Its
record for a year of best attendance,
the largest morning audience gath
cred Webster City has, known. But
the audience was not nearly large
enough to meet the attraction.
Playfully, Platform Manager Nc
Donald had told Chautauqua that
the morning lectures were the best
on the program, and that Webster
City people could not afford to miss
them. Yesterdays morning hour
proved that, so far, the manager but
spoke the sober truth.
Mrs. Nan Sperry spoke yesterday
morning on the pointed question,
What Is the Matter With the Amer
lean Parent?" Mrs. Sperry is a de-
lightful personality with rich ex-
perience behind her address. She

Judge Ben B. Lindsey Delivers
Heart-Stirring Message at the
4 Afternoon Assembly to
Big Audience.
PRELUDE BY SECOND RGT. BAND
Delightful Program at Night b!
Pageant Of Juniors and
Il Katharine Ridgeway.

This years Chautauqua has been
series of genuine climaxes, and in
its field, Judge Ben B. Lindsey's
ethical message yesterday afternoon
was top notch. In him Chautauqua
as an institution is at its best, for
the judge makes Chautauqua for
UNI from which he appeals against
grave social wrong. His lecture is
preaching at its best, and he greatly
stirs the hearts of the people.
The Second Regiment band "pre-
luded' yesterday. 1t was the bands
first appearance on Chautauqua
platform, but 1t need not be their,
last. When they get back from
France, with the thrill of the peril
GUS adventure added to natural mu-
steal ability developed by experience,
4 the military band will be in demand
for the Chautauqua platform. The
tent was crowded yesterday after
noon when the band played, and the
appearance of the boys on the plat
form was the signal for hearty ap-
plause. They opened with the
march, "Our Colonel" which they
!, followed with "The Iron Count Over
ture," and they closed the program
proper with 1.-THE Sky Pilot Over
ture." Then they swung into "The
Star Spangled Banner" and the
great audience arose and tried to
sing with the band. The band played
we'll Especially were the two over
lures appreciated. They were played
with distinction and with some eff
fects which made one think of Kryl.
The tent was jammed when Judge
Lindsey appeared on the platform.
The Judge is a slight, dapper man
in grey, with dark hair. and NOUS
fache, and with round, intelligent
and attractive face. Humor and in
sight are characteristic. motives in
the mans face, and gentleness and
perseverance are the outstanding
qualities of his unique message.
Judge Lindsey brought a vivid and
never-to-be-forgotten message from
the submerged kids of great cities
III heart to heart talk from very
concrete experience. His theme was
why Kids Lie," and the humor Of
the title as well as the startling note
in 1t was characteristic of the en-
tire lecture. When he became judge
of the juvenile court in Denver he
confessed that he was only twelve
years from the street himself, where
he had sold newspapers. His own
experience had brought him into ex-
act sympathy with the urchins in
his own Jurisdiction.
The lecture demonstrated that.
there are two outstanding and con-.
tending elements dynamic in human
life. First is force and violence,
which. always produce force and vio-
lence, as in the case of German i'm
perial militarism. On the other hand
are the diviner forces of patience,
kindness, understanding, sympathy
and the overpowering quality and
force of love. These latter forces
Judge Lindsey has put into operation
among the submerged kids of Den
yer.
Judge Lindsey's lecture was a most
interesting revelation in the patois

TUESDAY, JULY II, 1917.

Of $50. This latter item alone, y 4.
Abercrombie declared, disenfran-
chised most negroes and also not q
few of the whites. n ~
On the question Of why the south
lis solid politically, Mr.. Abercrombie
shed some light. The republican
party was in the saddle during re-
construction. The consequence was
that the white vote went solid to the
Opposite party. Neither politics nor
party had anything to do with 1t.
The congressman gave a recipe for
breaking up the solid vote of the
south. He said that If the republi-
can party were made a white mans
party, two or three elections would
Ientirely destroy the present politi-
cal block in the south. He claimed
that two-party government is prac-
|tically maintained in the south
Through the fact that the democratic,
party there is always split into two
factions which fight each other, pre-,
Icisely the same as the two dominant
parties fight in the rest of the Unit
led States. Mr.. Abercrombie,s REM
|edy for the negro problem is the
moral and industrial education of
the negro along Tuskegee lines. The
address was not nearly so able as
Senator Vardaman's last year, but
tits conclusions were much more sane,
satisfactory and in accordance with
facts.
Entertainment was provided yes
|terday in an afternoon prelude and
Ia full evening program by the Royal
Dragons. This is company OF
nine young men who figure as
brass band and a glee club. Their
entertainment captiyated the large
audience. Applause was frequent
and spontaneous. With but. two cor
nets, picoIo and flute, clarinet, alto
horn, baritone horn, slide trombone,
tuba, drum and traps, this 0rganiza-
ton at times carries the audience
by storm. The programs were a de-
lightful melody of fun and music.
Some of the numbers might be called
Chautauqua vaudeville, but every
thing was first class, clean and high
ly entertaining. The company's
playing Of Suppe's Light Cavalry
Overture was good. The trombone
won golden opinions in its solo work,
and duet by clarinet and flute
was especially fine. The vocal solos
by various members of the company
were well done and well received.
The program last evening closed
with a spirited rendition of 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" which
brought everybody to their feet. All
hesitation is gone these days when
the national anthem is played.
spontaneously people rise at the first
strains. Last night this number
found fitting climax to program
both entertaining, and profitable.
During an interval in the pro-
gram last evening. Mr.. Mcdonald an
nounced that the local committee
had signed contract for the return
of Chautauqua next year. The an
was received with
hearty applause. This year, so far.
has seemed the most successful Of
all the years, and the fact that an
other season is assured was welcome
news to everybody.

Rose Queen of them all. The pretty
little marches and dances, the solos
and choruses, children in vari-color'
ed costumes all wearing happy faces
and glad hearts, touched the great
audience. 1t was enc of the pretti
est pageants ever seen in Webster
/ City and the parents, as well as the
Chautauqua trainers of the children
are to be congratulated.
Katharine Ridgeway greatly
pleased an audience last night that
completely filled the tent. She has
long been a Webster City favorite
and last nights program will con.
tinue her welcome whenever she can
come this way. Her varied program
was suited to all tastes. Wit and
humor and funny story, intermin-
,gled with graver recitation in a
subtle appeal to higher things in
living made last nights Ridge
way program real preaching as well
as real entertainment.
The program began with a one
act play by Percival Wilde, entitled
"The Finger of God" The recita-
ton was dramatic presentation of
conscience successfully at work in
the mind of man about to abscond
with his patrons money. Miss Ridge
way kept the interest intense all
through her rendition of the three
distinct characters in the poem. She
followed this drama with nature po-
ems on The Wonderful, The Butter
fly, The Water Lily, Why the Rose
Is Red, The Tree. In manner and
matter the audience was transported
down these exquisite vistas Of ma
ture, hand in hand with the elocu-
Zionist. Miss Ridgeway inter-
spersed her more serious numbers
with a series of convulsing little
stories. She showed an individual
of various races of foreign immi-
grants willing to keep foreigners
out of the United States, had an
Irishman expatiate on the fine quail
ity of good old Irish names, and told
of the Hindu gods problem in the
making and disposing Of woman. A
recitation to be remembered was the
readers rendition of the, poem
The Child, the Grandfather and the
Little Birds Egg. They simply
couldn't keep God out of the story!
In one of her monologues Miss Ridge
way was accompanied by her hus-
band on the piano. She closed her
very entertaining program by recit-
ing Henry Van Dykes poem, War
Music. 1t was a most dramatic
close to a program that had been
interesting and thrilling throughout.
The program tonight will bring
the 1917 Chautauqua to a close, and
doubtless there will be an immense
audience for the event.

From Yesterdays Daily:

i
Gypsy Simon Smith brought some
thing entirely different to Chautau-
qua program Saturday morning, and
an unusually large morning audience
appreciated the man and his mes
sage. Gypsy Simon Smith is not the
original and internationally famed
Gypsy Smith. The two men are cou-
sins, and Gypsy Smith was brought
up by Simon Smiths mother. Simon
Smith appears to have many of Clip
Isy Smiths characteristics. The two
men somewhat resemble each other,
they have had similar unique ex-
perience, are engaged in the same
lines of evangelistic work, and 81
mon Smith has not little Of his
more famous cousins ability. In his
way, Gypsy Simon Smith pleased and
inspired the Chautauqua audience as
much as any of this years talent
and that is saying a good deal.
The Gypsy began uniquely. With
Miss Edith r. Lee at the piano he
sang effectively the gospeE hymn,
HE Walks With Me, and He Talks
With Me- The song was fitting
introduction to an photographed
address of singular charm and power
that held the audience spellbound
for over an hour. In quaint, easy
and interestingly simple speech he
unfolded the story of his own life.
He is almost a blond gypsy and says
that the blond in true Romany is
not infrequent, and that gipsies
would all be blonder if they used
more soap and water.
The gipsies hail from the east,
and their distinct language has some
affinity with ancient sanskrit. Real
gipsies do not steal children for the
sufficient reason that they have
plenty offspring of their own! Real
gypsy fortune tellers never use ac-
cessories in their art, but they seem
to really have the mysterious fac
Iulty of foresight which enables them
to foretell. One can tell the real
gypsy by what Gypsy Simon called
his caravan meaning thereby his
house wagon. The genuine gipsy's
wagon is an expensive affair, costing
sometimes as much as $1,5O0, and
highly if not artistically painted in
many colors. The gipsy's tent is
made of wooden blankets and never
merely of canvas. The address de-
tailed many interesting things that
smacked of Romany folk lore. The
wedding ceremony, the patriarchial
manner of life, light-fingered habits
of living, the winter home in Epping
forest, and the summer wanderings
over the land-all these traits and
many others came out in high relief
I! in Gypsy Simon's interesting address.
