MEN SINGERS IN
 CHAUTAUQUA POPULAR
From Saturdays Dailv)

Aside from the three big feature numbers of the Prescott Chautauqua, perhaps one of the most entertaining attractions will be that of the Metro politan Men Singers, who are a quar- tct of ability. There is a precision. a snap, an enthusiasm to the program, which is irresistible. These four big men with inc voices arc Jack Wilcs, Leonard C. Aldridgc, Glen Chamber lain and Floyd Williams. They arc equally al home with the classical, the popular or the old home songs. The vigor and enthusiasm with which they sing the college songs and the humorous selections arc good to witness. The men arc entertain CTS as well as singers. They have harmonious, strong, well trained voices, and arc delightful with their new and humorous selections. These men have sung together until theii voices harmonize in striking and pleasing manner. The Metropolitan Men Singers are all big, fine fellows and are as large in stature as they arc superior in ability. It is said that this company composcs half a ton of harmony
 Appearing on tho same program with the Metropolitan Singers is Ada Roach, comcdicnnc of broad smile and with a shrcwd Scrsc of humor To be plain, shes Irish. As a de lncator of Irish characters Miss Roach is ono of the best ever seen and alone could give an evenings en- tcrtainmcnt fully worth the price of d seasons ticket.

CHAUTAUQUA TO OPEN
 HERE ON MAY 18TH
(From Thu.sday;s Daiiy.)

(From Thrrsdayis DaiiyO
 May 18th signalizes the opening of the Prescott Chautauqua, which has properly been termed the Premier Chautauqua Circuit by the Redpath- Horncr management. In length ot season, in number and importance of cities visited and in strength and att tractivcness of progress, there IS no otllcr Chautauqua circuit that can compare with 1t. It is operated through the heart of the most typical ly American section of America. The Chautauqua is the natural develop ment of the Lyceum. The Lyceum was born out of the needs of the stir ring days of the Civil war. It has ever been a great force in tine devel- opment of good citizenship and pa triotism. This year is known as pa triotic year. The Chautauqua pro gram breathes Americanism and pa triotism and the Chautauqua conn mittcc asks for cooperation in making this great patriotic year so that next year we may all unite in thanks giving program. It is the highest type of patriotism that we wish to| fostcr-thc patriotism, not of words alone, but of service and of life. SoI far as the program itself is concerned, it is quite the best of all the II years of successful Chautauqua program building.
 The fact that this years Chautau' qua will be held in the Elks' theatre, combining not only the wonderful staging effects for the wonderful plays, but also insuring a comfortable scat throughout the weeks entertainment. is an added attraction. The price of the season tickets have been placed within the reach of all, the adults selling at s, and childrcn's tickets from the first 10 the eighth grade at S2.50. This entities the holder there of to a reservation for the week.
 The placing of the Chautauqua ad- vcrtising will be commenced this week and the sale of season tickets will be vigorously prosecuted begin ming with next Monday.

 These questions are put mp to land owners in and around Prescott by the scout organization, which aims to se- lect the tracts best suited for use and put in busy season ,enticing the succulcnt bean from the soil.
 The cultivation of land by the boys is in line with the national scout policy of every member producing enough foodstuff to feed soldier. With over million scouts, this work will certainly amount to something when it comes to speeding up the crop production of the United States for the period of the war. Lessons learned in this emergency work will surely be conveyed beyond the period of the war into civil life and will help make some citizens more handy a; the one great object of American life-that of making existence worth while.

HOW TO MAKE
 FLOUR GO FURTHER
(From Thursdays Daily)

Variety being the spice, as bread is the staff of life, the proper use of bread is now in the limelight. How to make a combination bread by using up all kinds of cooked cereals. left overs, rolled oats, corn meal, boiled rice, nuts, raisins and entrants, some shortening, sugaf and salt, will be of interest to the housewife in wartime.
 How 10 procccd: After supper, soak , yeast cakes in near warm water with ? well mashed potatoes (don't use potato water use rice water if you have iN. In about ? quarts of warmish water. with the yeast and potato. make a four batter or sponge and set in a warm place, out of draft over night. In the morn ing, it should be light and foamy, if not quite so, stir in cup of warm water with tablespoonful of sugar and wait an hour. Then add enough more water and four to the sponge enough for or 10 loaves. About 10 a. m. make the dough with the above ingredients, more or less. Use a heavy spoon in mixing the batter and dough. First rub raw corn meal into the cooked cereals, 10 neutralizc stickincSs-spoon out the dough on a fiourcd board, kncad little and put back in the pan to raise until noon or o'clock. It should be light. Work down for a minute, at } D. m. Make into loavcs and bake until supper time. This makes better and more nourishing bread than plain wheat flour and saves the more expensive ingredients.
 Alillers should quit making white flour and should grind the whole whcat-all of it-both for health and economy. An elegant meal without bread IS poor show: a simple dish or two with bread is a feast.
