on American life.

furnish its programs, and all who
are concerned, including especially
those who make it possible by ths',
patronage. now and then pause to
ASK whence it came a4sS what II
really is.
We have called it an outdoor uni
versity. Judge Ben Lindsey says:
The Chautauqua is Americas fourth
great institution; the other three are
the Home. the Church and the
School,"
The definitions. from publicists
admittedly able to measure the in
Huence of any institution or move
menr, are interesting. They testify
that the Chautauqua has an educa-
tional effect, even while it is an en-
tertainment. But perhaps the great
est charm of che Chautauqua, and
the thing that has given it its great
est popularity. lies in the fact that
it is educational without being prosy.
instructive without being dry. moral
without being preachy, improving
our taste yet increasing our enjoy
ment and widening our appreciation.
In leading us to the liking of better
things it but opens up new avenues
of pleasure By hearing interpreta-
tion of great literature, great drama
and great music we learn better
to interpret such things for our
selves. BY the intimate contact of
the platform we get to know the
men who are making the great
movements of the day. We hear
the poets poems from the lips OF
the poet himself. the thoughts OF
the thinker in his spoken words.
But we do not need the defini.
tion of a public man to tell US what
the Chautauqua is, why it is popular,
and why it is an institution and q
public benefit. The ordinary man
sitting in the ordinary Chautauqua
audience can tell for himself He
can see Immediately why it is a
good thing for us and our town and
for other towns like ours. In the
ordinary Chautauqua audience you
will see people of every creed, and
that means religious tolerance; you
will see men of every political faith

Second, intelligent saving, which
consists largely of foregoing ill-con-

lures in order to be able to secure in
the future either necessities or even
more substantial luxuries. Such saw
ing is the opposite of miserliness.
Third, safe investment. With "a

CHAPLIN DUCKS CREW

In the Essanay- Chaplin comedy;

breadth escapes and rough and tumble
action to satisfy the most avid seeker
for thrills. In fact, it is violent slap
stick action almost throughout.
Men are hurled from dock to ships
deck and from deck into the hold with
out regard to bones or flesh, and one
wonders how the feats are accom-
plished without sudden and violent
death. However, all come up, not al
ways smiling, but at least whole.
Men are hurled into the ocean, for
it is real ship on the Pacafic where
the action takes place, at some danger
Of drowning. However, Chaplin took

THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS

The homely story of "Old Matt
and "Young Matt, Samy Layne and
the gentle Shepherd of the Hills and
all the big-hearted mountain folks,
who were so realistically portrayed
in Harold Bell Wright's novel of ''The
Shepherd Of the Hills," live again in
the perturbation, which has been made
by the author of this widely read book.
In filming this work, Mr.. Wright
has had a wealth Of rich material
from which to make his picture and
the result has been q work Of art in
the field of motion pictures. Simple
scenes are set in the Ozark Mount
aims Of Missouri to which region comes
a world-weary man who finds there
a deep sorrow left by his long lost son.
In his endeavor to atone for this son's
actions he gains the title Of s"The
Shepherd Of the Hills" The scenic
background for this simple story pre-
sents series Of pictures dazzling in
their grandeur and depicting faithfully
the marvellous beauty Of these hills Of
Southwestern Missouri.
The production is in ten reels and
forms an evenings entertainment of
exceptional interest. Two shows night
ly, 7:15 and 9:80 P. M. at the Grand
Theatre August 18th and 18th.

Unwise Wheat Tactics.
Farmers Save Primary in Two States
The Break in English Exchange
a Consistent Judge
Gr0cers Hit Packers
Interests and the Church

- urging the withdrawal Of the
wheat guarantee, Senator Gronna of
North Dakota probably wants the gov
ermnment m to do the fair thing Of giving
the farmer the market price for his
wheat. The means he would use, how
ever. looks foolish from the farmer
standpoint. .
Why not keep the minimum as a
real minimum? That is, just what it
was supposed to be until the big fel-
lows began plotting something Others
wise with the apparent help of Direc-
tor Barnes. Let the wheat market
take its natural course upward. If
some unexpected event should occur to
force wheat down to the minimum,
then is the time for Barnes and the
government machinery to start the
defense of the wheat farmer. The
present defense put up by the govern
ment Is a concealed attack.
The Nonpartisan League farmers
have saved the primary law in two
states Nebraska and Montana. They
have done it by hard work against the
opposition Of intrenched privilege in
both cases.
Last winter politicians of the two old
parties in these states succeeded in
repeating the primary law SO far as
Legislative action was concerned and
in returning to the old party cpnve-
tion, vomit. Like the politicians in a
number Of other states they were
afraid the common people would cap
ture one Of the parties in 1920. The
Monta1la crowd went so far as to pro-
vide that candidate turned down by
q convention could not appear again
as . candidate for the Office.
But all during the spring and sum-
mer, when pressing farm work was on,
the farmers Of these two states have
been ont circulating petitions against
the repeal. The copper interests in
Montana, the grain spectators, pack
ers, rick renters and sundry othe,
profitsers IN Nebraska may caucus ali
they .Nash hefore the primary, but
their ttandidates will have to ret theil
nominations from the voters.
