Thuruont's First Chautauqua An
Unqualified Success.
Three Big Days Of Entertainment And
Instruction.
Citizens Enthusiastically Plan For A
Bigger Chautauqua Next Year.

sibilities. The Chautauqua is deserved
ly popular institution. 1t makes it pos.
sible for the first time for all the people
even in small towns, to hear the ablest
lecturers of the day as we'll as the best
musical talent in the country.
The men and women who are engaged
in the Chautauqua work are in 1t not
merely for money but because through
this form of work they can be of great
aervice to their ellow-countrymen. The
personnel of the Chautauqua lecturers
and entertainers is of the highest type.
On the platform they appeal to the best
in the life of the individual and plead for
loyalty to ones home town, to support
our churches, our schools. our places OF
business. etc. OFF the platform, on the
streets and around the hotel their con-
duct while in Thurmont was highly COM
mendable.
Chautauqua week can be made pro-
fitable one financially for our town mer-
chants. The merchants ought to make
extensive preparations in the way OF
special sales, cooperate with the Chau-
tauqua committee in a campaign of pub
lefty throughout the surrounding dis
tricts and urge the farmers to buy in
Thurmont.
Last Saturday DR.. Hutchins secured
the signatures of forty-seven men of the
community who agreed to be guarantors
for next years Chautauqua. Next year
we will be given a more desirable date.
sometime between July % and Septem-
Der 1st. This years Chautauqua proves
that the people Of Thurmont appreciate
good things and that we can do big
things. Let US all cooperate in boosting
the Chautauqua for 1918. Let US stand
by our own town, the best in the world,
Below Is the list of guarantors for 1918,

names will gladly be received.

The public-spirited men and women OF
Thurmont. through whose cooperation
the Radcliffe Chautauqua was brought
to our town, are deserving of the high
est appreciation of the community.
Never before had so grand feast Of
good things for the mind and soul been
placed before our citizens. 1t looked like
tremendous under taking to arrange for
a Chautauqua in SO short time, but the
thirty-seven men who signed the contract
as guarantors were willing to make a
personal sacrifice, if necessary, in order
that the community might have the ben
eft of the Chautauqua this year. The
excellent character Of the entertainment
and the splendid way in which the move
ment was supported by our people, to-
gether with the universal expressions of
appreciation, surpassed the expectations
of the most optimistic.
Those who attended the opening session
in the Town Hall on Thursday afternoon
were given a rare treat. Caps orches-
ira rendered an excellent concert. Mr..
and Mrs. Capped and four young men, all
carefully trained musicians, composed
the members of the orchestra. The lee
turer of the afternoon was DR.. D. w.
Daniel, Professor of English in Clemson
College, South Carolina. DR.. Daniel is
an orator of the highest type. With his
irresistible wit, deep voice and masterful
delivery he delighted and inspired his
audience with the subject, "The Measure
of Man." Thursday evening DR.. Dan
lei delivered forceful lecture on Forces
that Upbuild Community, in which he
emphasized the value of cheerfulness,
cooperation, wise and generous expendi-
ture of money at home, and stability OF
character. Caps orchestra followed with
another fine concert.
The lecturer for Friday afternoon and
evening was the Rev. DR.. A. W. Hutch
ms, until recently pastor of one Of the
largest Congregational churches in Mich
igan. DR.. Hutchins was also the director
of the entire Chautauqua. His lectures
were full of helpfulness and inspiration
and were we'll received. Preceding the
lecture in the afternoon and following it
in the evening the Elaine Duncan Com
pany-three accomplished young women
furnished the entertainment consisting
of pianologues, readings, vocal numbers,
etc.
The Gypsy Marionettes, with Lloyd H.
Taylor as reader and impersonator, were
thoroughly enjoyed Saturday afternoon
and evening. These young women are
indeed versatile artists. Mr.. Taylor de-
lighted all with his readings, especially
with his impersonations of Whitcomb
Riley's character.
Saturday night, which brought our first
Chautauqua to an end, came all too soon
to those who had attended every session.
Many persons said 81 am sorry it is all
over" Others were heard to say, Il
never received so much for my money as
l did for the $l.50 spent for a season
ticket" When it was announced that
there would be another Chautauqua next
summer there was great outburst of
enthusiasm.
The Chautauqua movement is one that
is sweeping over the entire country. For
many years it has been popular in the
south and west and recently the more
conservative east is awaking to it's pos :

Heavy Rains.

Last Sunday about noon rain began
falling in this community and continued
at intervals throughout the afternoon
and night Again Monday evening an
electrical storm passed over, lightning
being frequent, but doing no damage as
heard of in this community. Considerable
rain fell but there was little or no wind.
From appearances, the heavy part of the
storm passed to the south. While these
rains have done immense good to corn
and other growing crops, they come
rather bad on wheat in the shock and
that vet remaining to be cut.

Shall | Start A Field Of
Alfalfa?
(By P. A, Hauver, County AGENT

The question of questions that is upper
most in the mind of the farmer at the
present time and more especially the
dairy farmer, is how can eliminate the
high cost of the purchase of protein
feeds, such as bran, cotton seed meal,
gluten feed, etc? But the surface query
is, how can | produce more milk, feed
more calves. raise more colts, and fatten
more hogs at lower cost?
First of all let us get acquainted with
the term protein as used in connection
with feeds. Protein is a general name
for the compounds of the feed that con-
tain nitrogen as one of the elements or
parts of the compound. A protein COM
pound contains carbon, hydrogen, oxy-
gen, nitrogen, sulphur and sometimes
PHOSPHORUS. So protein Is combina-
ton of all of these elements. This def
milton must be kept in mind constantly.
In this day and age no one will dis
pute the desirability of having suffi-
cient amount of protein or nitrogen
GUS matter in ration whether it be for
a dairy COW or pen of fattening hogs.
Protein is an essential part of all rations.
It is the most important part of the ra-
ton of the dairy COW and young growing
animals. Old animals, except the dairy
COW that is producing prod let relative
ly rich in protein, do not require great
amount of protein. Protein is used chiefly
for making muscle Qean meat, blood,
connective tissues, milk, etc. So you
see the dairy cow and young growing
animals must receive liberal amount of
protein.
But as already stated most of the pro-
TEN is supplied in what we might term
bought or commercial feeds such as bran,
cotton seed meal, gluten feed. brewing
grains, etc. Those of you who have been
feeding dairy cows during the past year
and have purchased any of the above
feeds, will agree with me that they are
high in price, almost too costly to feed.
Now the test question is, can we furnish
protein in cheaper form and if so, how?
