ONE POUND BUTTER EQUALS
FOUR POUNDS OF BEEF

Butter production is one Of the most
important industries of Minnesota and
is vital to the welfare Of a healthy peo-
pie, states w. A. McKerrOw, secretary
of the Minnesota Dairy Council. One
pound of butter gives as much energy
food as four pounds Of beef or mutton
or four dozen eggs and is the only
edible fat which contributes the I'M
known substance which experiment has
proven to be absolutely necessary to
properly nourish the human system.
Are you using butter on your table? ?
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, answering an
inquiry in "Good Housekeeping maya
zine says, Gas far as I am concerned
I would never give my children Oleo-
margarine, nut-margarine or any other
substitute for butter. Butter contains
a vital principle which none of its sub
stitutes possess.
Butter is especially valuable. for
children 1t supplies the necessary
food element, milk fat, in its most
palatable and easily digested form.
Why not use this great food in every
home? 1t builds body and mind, the
community and the agriculture of the
entire country.

CHAUTAUQu|AS [
s.. Next unK
Five Big Days in Warren Commencing
Sunday, Days Of Education, Re-
creation and Wholesome
Entertainment.

The people of Warren and vicinity
will have the pleasure next week to
listen to the strongest programs ever
given on ChautauQua platform in this
city. Men and women OF national re-
putatiOn as lecturers and musical ell
tertainers will be here. And then,
think that the admission to all the pro-
grams, both afternoon and evening, for
the five days, will cost only the small
sum Of 1920 for adults, it season tick
cts are purchased. That is just 20
cents for each performance. And the
half Of that. Only through the instru-
mentality of the Chautauqua system, is
it possible to furnish such high class
entertainment at so low a price.
Money can be saved by buying season
tickets, as by single admissions the cost
will be greater. No one within a radius
of 1920 miles of Warren should fail to
spend at~least one day, and if possible
more, at the Chautauqua this year.
Flooding along IN our every day, hum
drum work, we need the mental and
moral stimulus, inspiration, informa-
ton, relaxation and recreation that the
Chautauqua affords. Let the boys and
girls attend-they will get new ideas
and learn many things not learned in
school. The ChautauQua is a school
for everybody. Come and take advan-
tage Of the opportunities presented at
the Warren Chautauqua next week.
On the program we find such names
as Gov. Hook, Of Kansas, who will lee
ture on "This Country of Ours' Robert
L. Finch, whose lecture on "Shifting
Gears" is a master piece; Homer Bob
lett, who speaks on conditions in
Russia and Rolla Mcbride, whose lee
ture on Making Crooked Men
Straight" ought to be heard by both old
and young. Then there are John B:
Ratio, the impersonator the Kressman
Trio and the Althea Players, musical
artists; the Montague Light Opera
Company; and last but not least the
Schweizer Sextett. Come and hear
these and other entertainers on the
splendid programs to be rendered.

SIGHT OF TWO LIFETIMES

The sight of two lifetimes is The
Birth OF A NatiOn-that of your
father and mother, if not directly your
own, and, also, the sight of all sights
to be seen today.
It is nearly three hours of historic
tableaux; nearly three hours of smiles
and tears and warm heart throbs and
gripping pangs of sadness, panorama
of life and love that preceded the first
shot on Sunderland then the break
the south declaring for states rights
and secession, the north as one man
rallying to the flag only, both sides, to
emerge from it four trying years later
full of hatred and rancor and work
against each other more ignoble crimes
that is Grifith's Birth Of a Nation.
The awful days from 81 to the end
of the terrible Reconstruction period IN
the south has been reproduced and
taken in living photograph by modern
wizard, D, w. Griffith, in his twelve
reel spectacle, "The Birth OF A Nation" ,
and is being shown throughout the
land with all it's accompanying battle
shots; its signing and whispering
music; it's darby reality in the snowy
cotton-ields before the warts loves
and it's passions, it's glories and Its
hatreds, and every citizen Of the Re
public should see it and realize thereby
what Lincoln's deeds and American
history truly and really mean.
A nation may have been conceived
with Washington's triumphs- but 1t
was born out of the better understand
ing between the north and the south,
which only came after long heart aches
and struggles. =.
