Chautauqua

to the regular routine of life a.
gain. The entertainment was
an unqualified success and many
attended every session thruout
hut the seats did begin to get
hard toward the last. The guar
antors have all signed up for a
repetition of the Cadmean Chau-
tauqua for next year and it is
the plan Of this new organiza-
tion to improve and perfect their
service and follow the small
towns to which the older Chau-
tauquas are impossible, with a
line of entertainment equally
good.
Supt. E. w. Button, and his
assistant. Chester Giddings, who
came with the big tent and re-
NAMED thruout the week be-
came almost citizens of the town
and left with apparent reluct-
ance. The social amenities be-
tween them and the people here
had the ring of sincerity.
There is much variety in opin-
ion expressed as to just which
days entertainment was the best
The Serenaders Glee Club, which
appeared first has many cham
pions as the best thing Of the
week and to those whose choice
was musical comedy, they were
the best.
Those who preferred high-class
music or solid lecture talent were
more pleased with the Drennans
Violin and Piano but it was SO
far aboves our head personally
that we ctuld but admit it.
Miriam Frsnklin was a clever
little reader and Count Sobeski
commanded sympathy, admira-
ton and respect with his inside
history of European royalty and
his patriotism for his adopted
Country. mc III S. We can but
pray with him that he may to
live to see, within the next year
All the crowned heads of Eu-
rope in the scrap-heap, as he
expresses it.
The Indian Maids Quintet re-
presented a lot of attractive fem
mine talent in the musical line,
Their high soprano was more
than ordinary and their first alto
had a very dangerous pair of eyes
the pianist is not to be overlook
ed and the second Soprano does
MT play second in the point of
looks, but the lady who reads
and inipersonates is some talent
but the modesty which keeps her
name off the bills is hard to un-
derstand. The audience was
strong for her and she will be
popular here if she ever comes
back.
Sue Burgess, the child imper-
senator, Saturday was too natur-
al to be funny. We have so much
"onery kid" talent at home that
she did not appeal to us, Rev.
Thomas the Methodist Episcopal
from Cimarron, who ac-
companied her, substituting for
one of the regular talent who
was called away, as a reader, i'm
and swede and other
dialect artist as well as lecturer,
was one of the best of the entire
week. His travelogue in which
he recites the things he learned /
in a trip around the world with a
College male quartet and in
which he took-off several heath
IN languages and dialects and
told us many things that we
would else have never heard.
Rev, Thomas went strong in Roy
and we hope to get better ac-
luainted with him.

PALESTINE MISSION DELAY
ED IN FRANCE.
Henry Morgenthau, Investigating
For President, Checked by
Fighting at GAIA.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Henry Nor
genthau, former ambassador to Tur-
key, before leaving ostensibly as the
head of mission to investigate posi-
bilities for ameliorating the condition
of war sufferers in Palestine, took
his instructions, it was learned today,
direct from President Wilson.
Mr.. Morgenthau is now in France,
and it is understood that his visit to
Palestine has been postponed owing
to the check of the British expedition
airy force at GAIA by Turkish troops.
The mission has not been aban-
doned, however, and it is possible for
him to fulfill part of it before pro-
ceeding to Egypt and Palestine.

Ladies, how long do you work
your bread? Mrs. Arthur Nicholson
works hers for six miles. This Incl
dent comes under the head of patrio-

Mrs Nicholson had occasion to drive
six miles from her home TO West Un-

expecting to work her bread and put
it in the oven before she started; but
in the hurry of getting ready she
forgot to work the bread till she was
just ready to start. so she started
anyhow. but took the bread into the
buggy and worked it all the way to
West Union, where she borrowed the
stove of her sister. Mrs. Fred John
son. to bake it in. Talk about saving
time! 1t was good bread, too.

SUPERVISORS MUST
SELECT PATROLMEN
Board Members Ignoring New Road
Law Subject to Arrest and
Punishment.
ATTY. GENERAL SENDING
LETTERS TO co. ATTORNEYS
When the Law Was Passed it Was
Recognized That Many Boards
Would Not Favor it.

Des Moines. Aug. 13.-Boards Of
supervisors who ignore the road pa
troll law passed by the last general
assembly and becoming operative
July and who fail to put On patrol
men as required by this law face
prosecution for neglect of duty.
Attorney General Havner ia now
mailing letters to county attorneys
over the state asking them to bring
this law to the attention of the super
visors. If they fail to provide the
patrolmen they are liable to prosecu-
ton.
When this law was passed by the
last legislature it was recognized
that many boards of supervisors
would not favor it and therefore it
was so framed as to make it ma1da-
tory on the boards to employ these
patrolmen. Road reactionaries in
both branches of the legislature
recognizing that the law in some form
was bound to pass, tried to get it
changed making it optional with the
supervisors to employ these patrol
men. The good roads men, however,
were too strong for the reactionaries
and the original bill, as presented by
Senator Foster, Of Guthrie county
was passed without change. 1t went
thru the senate with forty-five votes
for it and one against and thru the
house with a vote Of SO to 26.
Lieutenant Governor Moore and
others in ccnmeLting OF tie work Of
the legislature near the close Of the
session cited the Foster road patrol
law as one of the real constructive
pieces of legislation enacted during
the session
Many supervisors are making the
claim that the law, as they under
stand it, does not go into effect until
Jan. / However, the attorney gen.
erals letter, urging county attorneys
to take this matter up with the
boards while not passing on this
point, declares that the patrolmeu
should be appointed at once. He ur-
ges also that good roads will be es-
pecaly important this fall to move
the crops and to help in co-opera-
tion with war plants.
1t is also being urged by, some su
peryisors that they can not get sat-
isfactory men at this time to give all
of their time to the work.

Rum on the Run. A mile north Of
here there is now an oasis for tn .rsty
Lowans that has done a lot Of travel
ing il order to keep within reach but
at last has found a most satisfactory
location-the middle OF the NJ s5is-
sippi. To the innocent observer, it
is a picturesque housebOat as it rests
on the placid surface OF the river.
However, there is considerable actiy-
ity around and within it and many
boats come and go and visitors are
very frequent. Every twenty-four
hours, it is 'Heave no" with the an
chor and the oasis is moved up or
down the river two or three feet in
compliance with the laws of naviga-
ton, as interpreted by the proprie-
tor.
When Iowa went dry Jan l. 1916,
saloons sprang up over night on some
of the Mississippi river islands that
were a few yards nearer Wisconsin
than Iowa. One fiourised opposite
McGregor. another did rushing
business across from North McGreg-
or. Then last winter the Wisconsin
Legislature got conscientious scru-
pies about permitting islands To be

Islands were ordered vacated They

ARIZONA BOASTS ! GREAT INCREASE IN MULE FLESH

There is some kick to Arizona.
 During the past year the state' in-
 creased it's holdings in mules by per
 cent over the year previous. This ad-
 dition to the kick" of the state
 marked another instance when Arizona
 strode and "kicked' ahead of the en-
 tire United States.
 Only one other state in the union
 approXimated AriZona's increase in
 numbers of mules. Florida was next
 to this state with an increase during
 1916 of about I per cent. The increase
 in mules in the entire United States for
 same year was about l per cent over
 the same period was about 1 per cent
 over the year previous.
 On January l, 1917, there were in-
 side the boundaries of the state ap-
 proXimately 5000 mules, of total val uation of $S32 000 and of a value per head of $104. In the United States
 there were 4593,000 mules of a total value of s548, 900 and of a value per head of s11S32 Under one year of age Arizonas s mules were valued at s54.02; under two years but over one, at SS033, and over two years of age at $115.
