Ribs Nearly All Up
For Chautauqua

The ribs which form the dome of
the new Chautauqua building are now
all up but twenty, and these will be
up within a couple of days. Work
has been held back somewhat by fail
ure Of lumber to arrive and the crew
has been laid off for a part of last
week. Two carloads of lumber ar
rived from Eugene this morning and
work will now go ahead with a rush,
About forty men have been employed
and this number will be increased to
one hundred when the work of nail
ing on the sheeting begins. The i'm
mensity Of the building can now be
better realized than before since the
dome has taken shape. There are
1876 ribs in the roof, each about 1S0
feet in length. The roof is sixty feet
high at the center and when COM
pleted will support itself without
trusses or pillars.
Largest In Country.
The dome will be the largest in the
country supported without trusses,
The Salt Lake Tabernacle is bigger
but trusswork is used. About 160,-
900 feet of lumber go into the roof
ribs. Each rib is composed Of six
inch by six-inch boards, nailed to-
gether. They are built in forms on
the ground before being erected.
Sheeting.
The ribs will be covered with
solid sheeting composed Of three
fourths by one and an eighth strips
nailed both to the ribs and to each
other. Mr.. Lamb states that when
this sheeting is on it would stand by
itself without the ribs and will be alb
solutely uncollapsble. In case the
roofing is not all on by the assembly
dates, the sheeting will keep out the
rain. The sheeting will use 100000
feet of the strips.
Stage.
The stage will be the largest in the
state and will be sixty feet in width
at the proscenium opening by thirty
feet deep. The largest scenery and
be handled on it, the dome above CIV
ing room to care for eighteen foot
scenery. The great productions
which have heretofore been able to
show only in the big cities can be
accommodated at Ashland. An as
bestos curtain and one set Of scenery
will be installed in time for the COM
ing assembly.

How You May Change
 Your Face Completely

Any woman not satisfied with her complexion can easily remove 1t and have a new one The thin veil of stifling half dead cuticle is an en- cumbrance and should be removed to give the fresh vigorous, young skin underneath a chance to show itself and to breathe. There's, a simple, old fashioned remedy which will always do the work. Get an ounce of pure mercolized wax from your druggist and apply it at night like cold cream, washing it off in the morning. The wax will gently absorb all the Iifeless skin and leave healthy and beauti- ful complexion, as fresh as a child's. Naturally it takes with it all such facial blemishes as freckles, moth patches, sallowness, liver spots, ypim- ples. It is pleasant to use. and econo- n1ica1. The face so treated soon looks years younger.
 To keep the skin free from wrinkles and furrows there's nothing quite so good as the old reliable saxolite lotion. It is only necessary to dissolve an ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint of witch hazel and bathe the face in this as required. The result is in- stantaneous and wonderful, and there Is no harmful effect whatever.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-06

to perform that service are imperi- ous' ; Born of his self-reliance and con- secration to the service of his coup- try those few words, "I wish to be useful" should be taken to heart by every young man who is hesitating today to join the colors. Hale did not wait to have this and that ques- ton decided for him. He did not ask what Washington's policy was. He did not consult his family and friends. He decided for himself. He had enlisted in the service of his country and anything pertaining to that service he felt was in his days work.
 Military necessity knows nothing of what is labelled dangerous or dis graceful. If a thing has to be done in war it has to be done, and some brave and capable soul has to 6b it. This young Hale died for duty's sake, for his country's sake, but he still lives in his bouyant and immortal youth.
 From the supreme moment in the orchard on that September morning Hale passed from an engaging and capable personality into an ever liv4 ing hero. He calls to all young men to do their part as he did his. The lesson of his life is not that he was hanged as spy, but that he saw his duty manfully and stepped bravely forward with no other thought in his heart than to be true to his country and to his God.
 'To drum beat and heart beat
 A soldier marches by; There is color in his cheek,
 There is courage in his eye, Yet to drum beat and heart beat In a moment he must die. From fame's leaf and angels leaf,
 From monument and urn, The sad of earth, the glad of heaven,
 His tragic fate shall learn; And on fame's leaf and angels leaf
 The name of Hale shall burn.''
