CONSOLIDATION PLAN OF
MALTA CHURCHES FAILS

Malta, Dec. 23.-Rev. T. F. Rucker.
newly appointed pastor of the Malta
Methodist church, arrived Sunday
from Philadelphia and will take up his
duties at once.

ed minister for the charge since last
August when the regular yearly on
ference was held. Plans were discus
sed for a union church in this city,
whereby all the protestant churches
would unite as one union church, with
one pastor for the whole. After care
full consideration this plan was aban-
doned and up until the present time
the church has been filled by non-res-

ASKS $500 MORE DRY AGENTS.
Prohibition Commissioner Seeks Ap-
propriafion of $4,000, Boo.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Twenty-five
hundred more agents will be added to the
Federal prohibition enforcement force if
Congress grants the 1000, 900 def; cheney
appropriation asked, John i. Kramer,
Federal Prohibition Commissioner, said
yesterday.
Many of these will be assigned TO
guarding bonded warehouses, Kramer
said, because of the recent thefts of
liquor. Twenty-Five bonded warehouses
have been broken into within the last
week, the Commissioner said.
Owners of the liquor are not strenu-
ously objecting to these thefts because
as the liquor is under Government bond,
the value of the loss can be recovered
from the Treasury.

Occasionally a lecturer with lines
of thought entirely new and dis
tinctly different appears in the
lecture world. Such a person is
Joel w. Eastman. He is a man
who discusses vital timely topics in
a sane and masterful way. He
speaks with a marked forcefulness
and possesses a clear insight and
thorough understanding of his sub
jects. He is the bearer of definite
message of unusual value and i'm
port in these reconstruction days.
Joel w. Eastman is a native son
of our generation, born and reared
in new, rough country, his boy
hood home a log cabin; at school,
a garrett; at college, one room in
which he prepared his own food on
an open CRATE fire.

DISTINCTIVELY AMERICAN
Chautauqua is Natural Outgrowth of the New Eng
land Town Meeting Idea

Summer Platform. Certainly in the
stress of these times it should be
preserved if any institution is to be
preserved. 1t does a variety of
things that we have great need
should be done now. 1t brings a
fresh element into the social life of
the town-a very desirable thing
particularly in the smaller COM
munity. 1t will give stimulating
ideas about the great questions that
the country must understand and
study. Everything now depends
upon the country keeping it's mind
steady and active and. inspiring
people to full cooperation. The
Chautauqua Platform will do this
in a wonderfully direct way. Every
community ought to be willing to
sacrifice, if necessary, to keep Chau-
tauqua alive in the community"
The Kendrick gazette., 1920-05-28

The Chautauqua is the one dis
tinctively American institution
which this country possesses. 1t is
the natural outgrowth of the early
lyceum of New England-the town
meeting, where great men of their
day were won't to expound their
vigorous PHILOSOPHERS, for the Chau-
tauqua is just town meeting of
new kind. In no other institution is
so clearly epitomized the true dem
ocracy. In no other gathering do the
people of a town so nearly lose the
distinctions of caste and class and
become as one. 1t is an institution
which rejuvenates our democracy
where the millionaire and the la
borer may meet on a common
ground of interest in the worth
while things of life.

Zone of the best institutions in
this country is the Chautauqua

speaking races. of the South Seas
have eagerly welcomed the new
democratic institution.
Seven years ago the first circuit of
Chautauquas was established in the
West by Ellison-White. Small as
that first circuit may seem now,
with our assemblies dotting the
West, Canada, Alaska, New Zea-
land and Australia, it was a big
venture at that time. At the close
of that year, 1913, AZ towns had
been served and the Chautauqua
had permanently been established
in the West. It was needed and
the need was recognized.
Today the khaki-tented trail leads
over every beaten path in four diff
ferent countries. 1t touches MANY
places almost inaccessible and car
rles the world to the door of hun
dreds of isolated communities. It
is a year-round movement now.
This expansion means great deal
to our communities. Adding Alaska,
Canada, New Zealand and Austria
LA to our territory has made the
Ellison-White Chautauqua system
the largest in the country, not only
In size but in number of communi-
ties served. It means year-round
employment of workers and talent
and that means lower prices to us
and bigger programs to you.

A great travelogue Of the Far
North is to be presented by DR.. G..
S. Price on the fourth night, illus
trated by probably the finest set of
big game pictures ever brought out
of Alaska. DR.. Price was formerly
a member of the U. S. Alaskan
Floating Court and he has travelled
and hunted for years over the vast
stretches of the Northland.
Covering the long trails by canoe,
revenue cutter and dog team, he
knows Alaska as do few men in this
country and he tells of his ex-
periences and adventures in man.
ner highly interesting. There is a
splendid vein of humor running
thu oughout the entire lecture.
The big game pictures are re-
markable, showing close up views
of kodiak and grizzly bears, deer,
caribou, mountain goats and wolves
of all descriptions. Particularly
noteworthy are the views of the
whale hunt with DR.. Price himself
handling the harpoon gun.
Perhaps the most valuable col
lection of pictures possessed by the
speaker are the ones taken of the
great Fur Seal herds on the fog
bound islands of Priblof in the heart
of the Bering Sea. These pictures
were taken by permission of the
U. S. Government and are con.
sidered very valuable as it is next
to impossible to get permission to
land on the island and very difficult
to get permit to photograph. This
island is the only place in the worlo

Mrs. D. Pirie Beyea, the first
among ten nurses to volunteer for
American Red Cross service in 1914,
known as "The Little Mother of

Chautauqua on the third afternoon

where these animals breed, and
photographs are shown of the giant
bulls in their harems, of the babies
in the nurseries and of the great
herds of "bachelors" that go in
companies to fight the great bulls
and gain harems of their own. One
picture is shown with 5000 seals in
the one photograph.
Mrs. Esther Birdsall Darling, of
Nome, Alaska, author of the book,
"Baldy of Nome" and owner of the
famous ''Darling-Allan Dog team,' -
says in a letter to Mr.. Price:
81 regretted greatly not seeing
you the other evening to express my
appreciation of your interesting and
instructive lecture and your wonder
full and exclusive pictures. AS a
woman who has spent many years
in the North, whose dog-team has
won many times the great ALL
Alaska Sweepstakes race of 4Os
miles, who with 'Scotty Allan sent
twenty-eight sons and grandsons OF
our most famous leader, ''Baldy OF
Nome," to fight with the Blue
Devils of the Alps in France, I feel
that I am enough of an Alaskan to
be exceedingly critical of all that is
said of our great North. I was more
than pleased at what you had tc
tell and show, and you have in YOU
lecture given an excellent idea ol
the general life Of the big North; o1
the big game hunting, the Indians
and of innumerable other things
that are bound to entertain anc
enlighten. 1t is wonderful lecture.

SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR
The Big Brown EsonWhte Tents Have Invaded the English
Speaking Countries Across the Broad Pacific

The days of rain and snow in this
country mean days of sunshine and
flowers in the countries south of the
Equator. The seasons are reversed.
So while you were seeking the
warmth of the furnace or fireplace
this winter, down in the Antipodes
the big brown Ellison-White tents
were being raised and a new "out-
door sport" was being discovered by
our English-speaking friends far
across the broad Pacific.
Taking Chautauqua overseas was
the most notable event in the his
tory of the institution. Chautauqua
was not only distinctly American
but solely confined to the United
States until three years ago. In 1917
an Ellison-White office was opened
in Canada and forty assemblies were
conducted in the. four western
provinces. The new movement was
greeted with enthusiasm by the
Canadians and in 1920 there will be
three summer and two fall circuits
in the Dominion, serving over 300
towns between Vancouver and Win
nipeg. The reception accorded the
Chautauqua prompted Ellison
White, in 1918, to open the Austria
lian and New Zealand fields. A sea-
son of six months has been secured
in the Antipodes and the English

Marion Ballou Fisk, the brilliant
cartoonist and Observation-Disclosures
who is coming to Chautauqua on
the opening night, started in her
present profession quite by &C
cident. In the slums of Chicago
Mrs. Fisk was the late Dwight L.
Moody's ablest lieutenant in settle
ment work. 1t was here that her
natural gift in art was first called
upon for demonstration. It was a
case of inspiration born of despera-
ton. She had room full of Chicago
West Side children and was trying
to teach them. She made little
headway. She could not even keep
order. A third of them could not even
understand the English language
she spoke, for they were the children
of foreigners. In the midst of the

battle of the Marne, was on the
Belgian frontier for eight months,
was placed with the First Division
when America entered the war and
was with the Marines at Belleau
Woods, She was at Chateau
Thierry, later at St. Mihiel, then
Argonne-Meuse. As mark of ap-
probation her hospital corps was
given the place of honor at the
Bridge Head in Coblenz.
Mrs. Beyea does not come to
Chautauqua with a war lecture.
She uses the war only as a back
ground to drive home great truths
concerning public health. She is a
rapid-fre, convincing speaker, with
personality and "pep" plus. Last
year she was a featured lecturer on
one of the largest Eastern Chau-
tauqua circuits all means hear

The Kendrick gazette., 1920-05-28

uproar she drew a picture with
chalk; there was great calm. The
pictures spoke all languages. She
was a happy woman that day for
she discovered she could hold the
wriggling mass perfectly quiet 50
long as she drew pictures while she
talked.
Mrs. Fisk is clever and unique
combination of cartoonist, enter
tainer, story-teller and lecturer. 1t
is hard to state just where she excels.
Her work is genuinely artistic
while she paints, draws or sketches,
there is an irresistible charm in
speech, in mannerisms, in stories,
and in keen philosophy-that makes
her audience wonder how this gifted
woman can do so many things so
we'll.
