ried Mary Goodwin.
Harvey's book reveals Shelley,
the man; not Shelley, the poet. 1t
throws a brilliant and highly COL
ored spotlight on the ,vagaries of
the writer. 1t is neither a bio
graphy nor a bit of fiction 1t is a
blended type of both But, above
all. it is startlinglt human reve-
lation of the man. Some critics say
that it is more than a biography,
for biographies are not always
prone to parade the unwholesome-
ness of their titular characters so
realistically. 1t is also suggested
that certain of Shelley's biographers
were woefully lacking of details in
the poets life. if Harvey can be
said to have portrayed them with
any degree of reliability.
Nevertheless, taken all in all.
"Shelleys Elopement" is a splendid
contribution to interpretative fic-
ton, even if it isn't enlightening

WARSAW, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-Last Sat
urday night was no exception as to
crowds in spite of the heat, and dis
pensers of all kinds of liquid refresh
ments were kept busy until near mid
night. The people have acquired the
habit and you cannot keep them away
from Warsaw's weekly show and sum
mer concert.
No report has yet been given to the
public as to whether the Chautauqua
has been cancelled or not. People
suppose it has been, for, if not the ad-
vertising should have been out weeks
ago and programs here. However, 1t
is just as well to skip it this year as
the government has increasing claims
against us, that cannot be ignored, and
we know that as Warsaw knows what
a benefit the Chautauqua is, she will
never lose her desire for it.
The heat on Sunday prevented as
large an attendance at the 3 O'Clock
patriotic services at the church of the
Sacred Heart, celebrating the ami
versary of the beginning of the great
war. Rev. Father F. A. Cleary preached
q sermon of great power and fervor,
which was appreciated by his audi
ence which was composed or the gen
eral public, besides his congregation.
After the sermon the benediction OF
the blessed sacrament followed.
AS advertised, the sNauvoo knights
Of Columbus were present and after
the service were entertained in the
social hall near the church. ice cream
and cake being served.
The Travel sermon For Liberty
and Right-America" by Rev. G. G.
Maple at s p. M Sunday, at the jack
son ST.. Methodist church, drew a
goodly crowd though the heat was
terrible; the sermon was delivered
with the speakers usual patriotic
force and was rendered additionally in

lows:
'Hens when kept active II to IA hours
daily by artificial lights require album
dant feed and litter to induce exercise
ANY bright light strongly reflected to

400 square feet of floor should have

Under lights, early maturing year
lings and two year old hens lay well all
winter, but breeding stock should not be
kept under lights or they will lay too
heavily and lower their value as breed
ers.
There is danger of OVERRIDING the

is not taken; but where good Judgment
