Brought Ingenuity to Bear.

There is surely one ingenious farm

reach the market places and dispose
of his produce, he was compelled to
cross stream that was without n
bridge. So he built fiat wagon,
somewhat on the plan Of a float on
wheels, and trained mule to draw
It. In crossing the stream the farmer
keeps his seat In the vehicle. When
the mule gets beyond it's depth 1t

Have you longed for some one to
love, some one to call your family !?
Have you ever know the orphan lonli-
ness of "Just Plain Judy" as told in
Hettie Jane Dunaway's adaptation
from the popular novel and stage sue
cess, Daddy Long Legs" one of the
biggest metropolitan hits of the past
decade.
Not only has Miss Dunaway sunk
her personality into that of pitiful lit
tie Judy and made that character live
and breathe for her audience, but in
her presentation of this little playlet
at the Chautauqua, she will imperson-
ate all the characters necessary to the
production of this gripping drama.
1t is a feat that would stagger the
average actress, for few indeed would
find it possible to present the single
role of Judy in an acceptable manner.
But Miss Dunaway's success has
been achieved by the accomplishment
of the impossible, and her triumph in
Gust Plain Judy" is no surprise to
those who have known her sterling
work in the past.
Her artistry is magnificent, her
character dehneation so fine that the
story becomes real-one forgets that
she is acting-the stage creatures be-
come living, breathing people in a liv-
ing, breathing world.
Her tears are real tears, and her
laughter real laughter. And the audi
ence weeps and laughs with her, and
smiles happily as the untangled web
discloses the beautiful prospects ahead
for the quaint heroine at. the close of
the tale.
The beauty of Miss Dunaway's
work is greatly enhanced by the strik-
ing musical settings provided by Miss
Elizabeth Viol, violinist, and Miss
Margaret Ringgold, pianist.
Altogether, it provides a most un-
usual program. And one that will
never be forgotten by its auditors. \

When the Community Chautauquas
wanted man to go to Europe under
the direction of the Red Cross for the
purposes of interpreting the conditions
at the front to the peoples of Amer
lea, they chose George P. Bible.
They chose him because his is an
eye that sees-sees far down below
the surface into the heart of things.
They chose him because his is a
brain that records its impression with
Photographic fidelity-so that he
would remember that which he had
seen-remember it, to tell to US at
home.
They chose him because he is an
orator of ability, capable of express
sion in voice and manner that spreads
as by contagion to his audience, the
things his eyes have seen, his brain
recorded and his heart has compassed.
And George P. Bible is back from
Europe with his message
He has been to France, to Belgium,
to the very pit of the hell of war it
self, and his lectures, "Scenes From
the Front" and Garry On are gems
of eloquence. But they are more than
that. They are revelations of the
things to which our boys in khaki have
gone and are going. They are camera
true pictures of the world war. They
are vigorous, red-blooded stories of
conditions on the other side, and what
they mean to you and to every other
liberty loving American.
Needless to say, Mr.. Bibles lee
cures are exceedingly bright spots on
the Chautauqua program.

Few men get to be on intimate
terms with even one of the great men
of the world. Robert Parker Miles
has known many of them.
1t was Gladstone, the great British
statesman, who said to him, "Mr.
Miles, you will go down in history as
a contented man, contented man."
That was in response to a remark of
this great lecturer and world traveller
TO the effect that he was now content,
having intimately conversed with so
great man as Gladstone.
Others whom he knew on his trips
around the world were kings, popes,
ministers, authors, statesmen.
And he has charming tale to tell
"a "tallow dip" of each.
Indeed, his lecture, "Tallow Dips"
is almost a Chautauqua classic, pre-
senting intimate pictures of such great
and famous men as Pope Leo XIII,
George Francis Train, Moody and
Booth Tucker
This year he has added to the great
characters who have had places in his
Chautauqua lectures in the past, the
portrayal of great men who have been
developed by the world war-promi-
nent Americans and others who are
winning the great struggle.

knows how to say what he thinks fear

neither to praise nor to criticise, and
makes a careful survey of local COM

to bear directly on the home town
problems.
Wherever desired, he will conduct a

The Housewife Should Realize
The Value of Her Time!

Efficiency is the watch word of
the industrial world. Every
effort is made to make every
minute count. For time repre-
sents money. This same spirit
of efficiency is reaching into the
home. The housewife is advocat-
ing and practicing time saving
methods. Her time is as valua-
BILE and often more valuable to
herself, her family and her com.
munity-outside of the kitchen
than in it. The up-to. date
housewife employs up-to-date
methods. She does a given task
in the best possible manner in
the shortest possible time. She
eliminates the necessity of doing
the same thing twice to gain
the desired results. Where this
kitchen efficiency rules-you
usually find Calumet Baking
Powder because Calumet is eff
cient. 1t is positive in results.
1t never fails. There are no re-
bakings. No double time" for
the housewife. It's dependable
action cuts baking time down TO

there is another way in which
Calumet re, ieves the housewife
from bake day duties. 1t en-
Rbles her to use one batch of
dough for two bakings. She can
work up a pan of dough, use
part of it for baking for the
evening meal and set aside the
balance in the ice box for break.

she saves the time other baking

retains its leavening strength
until exposed to oven heat. The

Calumet save hours of baking
time, and many dollars in bake
day costs as the unfailing leave
