CHAUTAUQUA TO
 BE HERE MAY l-5

The Chautauqua season of 1922 is an important one in the history of the Ellison White Lyceum and Chau- tauqua Association as it is the tenth anniversary of the establishing of their Chautauqua business in the West. To build a program which would fitting ly celebrate this happy event was evi- dently in the minds of the Ellison White Management when the program for the coming season was arranged. The dates for the Kingman Chautau- qua have been definitely set for May 1-2-3-4-5th, 1922.
 The outstanding number in the en- tertainment' field will be the produc- tion of Happiness" which will be giv- enby the Elias Day Players of Chi cago. Mr. Day is one of the best known actor producers of the middle west, and the announcement of his name as producer is in itself suf- ficient guarantee of standard at- traction in every sense of the word. Happiness is one of the most dis cussed plays of the decade. There is a human element running throughout the play which gives it universal appeal. It is clean, sweet and whole some, just the sort of play you would want your own family to see. It has to do with the ambitions and the dreams of an uneducated, yet bright, shop girl. There is abundant humor and pathos interwoven, and delight ful love story running throughout the play.
 It is a safe prediction that the Gar ner Jubilee Company and Male Quar- tet will draw tremendous crowds at Chautauqua. The Garner organiZa- tion is conceded to be the finest of it kind in America. The Biltmore Or chestra, a group of middle western ar lists bring to Chautauqua distinct departure in chamber music interpre- tation. The Biltmore play not only the classical numbers but popular numbers as well, and they never fail to please. They were sensation on one of the eastern circuits last sum- mer, and come to the west with the finest recommendations.
 The Loren Bates Company and the Patricia Trio are two other musical entertainment companies which will meet with popular favor. Loren Bates is clever young characterist who specializes in "wig and grease paint" work. Miss Leatha Shriber, so- prano, and Miss Helen Smith, pianist, are capable assisting artists to MT. Bates. The Patricia Trio is built around Miss Patricia Hale, dramatic soprano and possessor of a glorious voice, whose work in the east has attracted wide attention.
 Among the lecturers noted on the program are Dr. William E. Bohn, for fifteen years an outstanding educa- tional figure of the east, who gave up his professorship at the University of Michigan to enter the larger field of instruction in the Peoples Universi- ty". His address in Chautauque is to be America Among the Nations, a sane discussion of some of the pro- blems and responsibilities that we Americans are facing today. Also should be mentioned Captain "Dinny" Upton, "The Big Brother to Hundred Thousand Kids," recognized authori- ty in recreation. Captain Upton has devoted his entire life to the work of making good citizens out of the boys and girls. "The House We Live In'

 a TWO-HOur Pleasure

dried in a way that makes it as sweet as if it had been bathed in spring sunshine. The flat pieces, like towels, bed clothes and table linens, we iron. Many of the undergar. ments we dry so nicely that they need no ironing. Other garments, like your own. skirts and the children's clothes, we starch and leave for you to iron at home when you have an hour or so to spare.
 In a word we transform the work of washday into a two- hour pleasure for you. You will be surprised too, at the ex- treme reasonableness of the cost.
 Large numbers of house. wives already use our service. It will please you as much. Telephone and we will have our driver call for your family washing.

Probably, through long exper- fence, you have learned to look ahead to washday as a ten or fifteen-hour ordeal.
 We can teach you how to make it a two-hour pleasure. Our Family Laundry Service is the recipe. We wash all your things, and iron many leaving to you only the ironing of a few of the lighter pieces.
 This, you will see, is a sort of cooperative laundry service. And the cost is very moderate.
 Our driver takes up your family bundle in the usual way at a set hour each week. We sort everything and wash each article specially in a par ticular class - table linens only with table linens, colored goods only with colored goods, and so forth.

GETS OUT OF CHARLES TOWN

Jesse Prater, one of the miner
prisoners awaiting trial in Charles
Town left the Jail some time in the
wee sma' hours of Wednesday night
without the knowledge or consent of
the jailer. His method of escape
mystifes county officials.
He had been complaining that the
confinement was undermining his
health, and jailer Alder allowed him
the freedom of one of the second
floor corridors wherein to exercise.
Thursday morning Prater was miss
ing.
The windows and grateing open
ing off the corridors have individual
locks, not being connected with the
general locking system that secures
the cell doors and windows. Prater's
only way of escape was through a
corridor window. To get out of the
window he would have to unlock the
window and grating or have some
one do it for him. 1t is believed that
some one on the outside aided with
"a key and ladder or rope.
A polite note signed by Prater was
found in his cell the next morning.
1t told that the confinement in jail
was running him. and that he would
be back when the court wanted him
for trial Prater was under indict-
ment for treason in connection with
the uprising in Logan county in the
summer of 1921.

A UNIQUE RECORD.

Home testimony for Doan's Kid

MEETING HELD LAST SATUR-
DAP TO PROMOTE PORK
PACKING PLANT.

A meeting Of representative bust
ness men anc farmers was held in
the Court House in Charles Town
last Saturday afternoon in the in
terest CT the proposed enlargement
of the Virginia Products Company,
which has been operated here for
the past several years by Dir. Harry
Bushong, to q one hundred thousand
dollar concern.
Mr.. w. B. Westlake, a prominent
dealer in investment securities, of
Washington City, was present, and
he nd Mr.. Bushong outlined the
PIX of the proposed corporation,
VII n was substantially as follows:
ne proposed packing plant would
deYote its activities primarily to the
ma king of Shenandoah" brand sau-
sage for the fine hotel and private
trade. There would necessarily be
the usual by-products of pork pack
ms, such as bacon, lard, spare ribs,
pudding, scrapple, tankage, and
blood and bone fertilizers.
As planned. the capacity of the
plant would provide for handling at
least thirty-five thousand hogs, of an
average weight of two hundrd and
fifty pounds, per year. At the pres
ent price of hogs, this would mean
SS75,000. per year added to the farm
product of the immediate vicinity.
ard in addition there would be sew
eral hundred thousand dollars paid
out in wages and other expense items
in connection with the business.
- -
ployment would be given to one hun
dred men and women, not counting
those employed indirectly through
the activities created by the regular
inflow of the large volume of new
capital into the community.
The proposed plant has been pro-
nounced the most up-to-date and
sanitary of any yet designed for this
particular business, and the idea of
high quality instead of large quaniti-
ty has been upvermost in every de-
tail. In fact it is intended to make
the brand Shenandoah the stand
ard of excellence of the nation for
this food product, and the benefits
resulting to this city and the sur
r. unding country will be incalculable
if the plans are successfully consum-
mated.
The Virginia Products Company is
unable to supply the demand already
existing for its sausage, and regards
Charles Town as the logical point for
a larger plant, because of railroad
facilities, parcel post zoning regula-
ticns, climatic conditions and the
assurance of a permanent and album
dant supply of Shenandoah Vallev
hogs.

TOWN AND RANSOM
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HOLDS PEP DINNER"

The Charles Town and Ransom
Chamber of Commerce held their
first "Pep Dinner" in the Rouss Hall
last Thursday night. Covers were
laid for so guests and when Rev.
Goodwin Frazer invoked the blessing
there were very few vacant seats at
the table, practically all the business
men of the two towns being present.
President p o. Dunaway intro
duced Prosecuting Attorney Porter
field as the POSTMASTER of the eve
ming. The first speaker presented
by the postmaster was Hon. Thos.
c. Townsend, former State Tax
Commissioner of West Virginia, now
in Charles Town as chief counsel for
the miner defendants in the Circuit
Court. Taxation in West Virginia
was the theme receiving most atten-
ton from Mr. Townsend. As Tax
Commissioner he became familiar
with our taxation system, and it was
from his vast store of knowledge of
the subject acquired while in office
that he drew the material for the
fine address delivered. Organiza-
tions like our Chamber of Commerce,
he said, must awaken to the serious
ness of the tax question in West
/ Virginia. Our tax rate has now
gotten to be so burdensome that it
threatens to eurtail industrial prog
ress in this state. 1t behooves every
taxpayer, as well as every commerce
ial organization, he further said, to
unite in an effort to curb any pro-
posed increase in the tax rate, and il
possible secure reduction of it.
Brief but inspiring addresses
were also made by Rev. DIR. G. G
Sydnor, and Mr.. F. w. Van Fleet, o.
the Kanawha county bar, the lattel
also referring to the Importance o.
securing greater returns from
money derived from taxation.
The banquet program was enliven
ed with music by Henson's orchestra
piano accompaniment giving add
tional inspiration to the number
rendered. Members of Jackson
Perks Post, American Legion plar
ned the menu and made themselve
responsible for the excellent servic
at the tables. The success of tn
