WHY CHAUTAUQUAS ARE
NOT WORKING OUT WELL

The following conclusions on the
WHY and wherefore of Chautauquas
are from the pen Of John Foley, edt-
tor of the Cassville Index. Mr.
Foley's ideas strike us as being full
of common sense. He says
THAT Cassville is not listed for
chautauqua this year is quite salts
fying to the people of this communIV
ty. Bureau commercialism is what
is hurting the lyceum and chautau-
nua in the rural districts and there
is opposition to the guarantee system
in presenting these attractions in
spite of the fact that it is the best,
soundest and most businesslike way
of buying the big, brown-tent shows.
But the system is so one-sided anil
safe for the party of the first part
that it makes no difference whether
an faction is sold on guarantee
or without one. Cne local committee
must pay the Olll-even though short
of stipulated amount on account OF
poor patronage because Of loW-quall-
ty price. There are too many muSl-
clans on the chautauqua and lyceum
course circuits trying to put over
classical numbers when they haven /
even popular dO1A1Cy' OSA'AS -
the lecturers too are very ordinary
as are also their talks. But the play
is the thing if the cast be good. In
casting people for the drama the
presence and ability of the person is
alv avs taken into consideration. II
this is not done the production as
whole is ruined May be that they
put it across in the training school,
but it is a cinch that some of them
drag before an audience. The fact
that these performers play small
towns is no reason for this imposi-
ton on the people. who are willing
to pay for entertainment, but refuse
to be stung year after year. The
lyceum and chautauqua could be
made force for good if all in that
business would forget about salaries
and go in on their merit-place the
attractions on commission basis
without a guarantee the same as
other road shows. Local committees
would then get back Of these enter
prises and work together for the big.
trown-tent show and for the good OF
the community"

'KLONDIKE' OF
MINING FIELD

BENTON.-The past ten days all
roads have been leading to the Klon-
dixie of the Wisconsin Lead field To-
Gated two miles south of Benton,
where two of the biggest lead strikes
in the past decade have been made.
Last week we reported the big strike
made by Smythe Brothes and Ben
nett In order to work more advan-
tageously they decided to sink new
shaft about 25 feet north OF the first
shaft When they came onto the big
lead body. The bottom of the shaft
is nothing but lead and since the first
strike was made at a depth of 40 feet
it is reasonable to believe that the
lead extends to depth of at least 20
feet. 1t is on an East and West range
and it has not yet been proven how
far it will extend. In the past few
DAYS they have hoisted about 10000
pounds of pure cog lead. The Fern,
located 300 feet east has hoisted about
$4,000 pounds. They have been WORK
ing several weeks. From so to 100
people visit the new properties every
day and as in the gold rush days
claims are being staked out on all
sides. Two companies are working
ahead of the Smythe mine both on the
same range and old timers are Will
ing to wager that they too will make
rich strikes It is very evident to To-
cal lead miners that this is the east
and west ore bearing range leading
from the Mississippi river.-Adyocate.

COUZENS IS ADVOCATE

Gated per cent beer Wednesday and
predicted that definition by the next
congress Of the term Intoxicating
beverages" in the Volstead act would
permit its sale.
From my contact with members Of
congress, l believe a large number
not yet notwithstanding raising
of the alcoholic content of beer from
- Of / per cent to as high as 5 per
cent" said Senator COuzens. Many
members, including myself, believe
the Volstead act, with it's strict in
depreciation Of intoxicating liquor,
was put over on the people during
the fever heat of war time patriotism
and that, in its present form, it could
never be passed at this time.
1T is not a question Of repeating
the act-simply one of determining
by congress 5ional action what consti-
tutes an intoxicating drink for the
average man.
II do not believe beer is any more
Of a stimulant than tea, coffee, or to-
