CHAUTAUQUA NEWS
AND NOTES

Just few hot tips right on the
eve of the nineteenth annual as
sembly of the Muskingum Valley
Chautauqua.
If this isn't the biggest and best
Chautauqua we have ever had, then
something's wrong, that's all.
There's something-yes a whole
lot-here for everybody, and If you
don't show enough interest in your
self to come out and get it, then you
lose the benefit of all this effort to
entertain you and the management
will lose money, and heart.
To show your hearts in the right
place come out to the opening at
traction Saturday night. Maybe We
had better not urge you, for surely
enough people will see the chance
for an evenings fun in "Six Cylinder
Love" to more than fill the auditor
ium.
Every evening all week you will
have chance to relax and enjoy
yourself at Chautauqua-music and
entertainment, that's all.
But. for pity sake, don't forget
those fine afternoon lectures. Good
music every afternoon too.
For instance, Sunday afternoon
will see DIR. B. NJ Tipple here, right
from Rome, with a lecture of world
interest.
DR.. Gage, you know, is always
worth hearing. No matter how good
they are. Gage is just as good as the
best.
Frank Preston Johnson will have
a community lecture that will mean
dollar and cents in your pocket If
you hear and heed him.
DIR. Forkell, on Wednesday after
noon is worth going across the coun-
ty to hear.
Farmers, you are not going to
miss the opportunity of hearing
Wheeler McMillen, associate editor
of Farm and Fireside, are you? He
is on the program especially for you,
but we want everybody else to hear
him too.
Then, there's Ex-Governor
Brough, of Arkansas. and our own
Jim White, and who wants to miss
either of them?
And, say! Be sure and get the
children lined up and interested in
Miss Twins story and play hours.
She will be here to help you make
better citizens out of them.
We want to emphasize that Sun
day mornings are both free, chairs
and all. The session will be strictly
religious service, with strong ser
mons by DR.. Gage.
Season reserved seats will be sold
at the Chautauqua grounds Friday
evening, July 25. II you have been
lucky enough to match your number,
pick your seat out too at that time.
Youth be thankful many times dur
ing the Chautauqua that you bought
season reserved seat tickets.
Everybody is wondering what the
stage is going to look like. with new
scenery throughout You'll say it's
great after you see it.
A last word-Be punctual. Things
are going to start off on time this
wear Watch the hOurS on yOur prO-
gram and be there ahead of time,
The band and orchestra will play
half hour in the auditorium each
night, before the program proper
This is not propaganda, although
this space is paid for. 1t is proper
ganda-which means pointing out
things that you want to know about
something you are interested in.
So long. Meet you at Chautau--
qua.

GATHERING THE FRUIT

No one thing has contributed
more to cementing the interests OF
the West in road improvement and
construction than the activities of
the National Park-to-Park highway.
Prior to it's organization each
western state vas out with its own
program and in competition with
every other state.
Today these men have been got
ten together on a common platform.
They have found thai their interests
dove-tail and are mutual.
The great circle highway has
bound them together and made
them acquainted whit each other.
Other interests have worked in har-
mony with this one but altogether
the West is standing together.
The change in the ALLEGATION of
federal aid for roads from the So
SO basis to a percentage based upon
the areas of federal lands within
each state was the first notable vic
tory. Now m the road money
for the national parks.
1t is another evidence of what
"a be done with an organization.

of many men willing to become
companions to boys during the i'm
questionable age. He says:
"0ver 80 per cent of criminals
are less han rs years of age. The
vast majority of all youthful Of
tenders commit crimes because they
had bad associates and were not
under the proper influences in the
years when their boyhood was turn
ing into manhood-between the
ages of IL and IS.
I'm those years every boy needs
to be under the influence of the
right kind of a man. He neeGs
such a mans life to supply his idea
and such a man to become his hero.
Every boy is a hero worshipper.
Many become criminals because they
follow the wrong leader.
items of thousands of boys are
nightly on our streets looking for
amusement, seeking adventure, and
yearning for companionship. Many
of them have no fathers, and the
parents of many others give little
heed to the places their boys visit
or the companions they choose.
do we men owe no duty to
those boys? Should we not pro-
vide places where such boys may
meet and play and be under the in
fluence of men of the right kind?
This is a practical thing. 1t
can be done. 1t has been done in
a small way and with wonderful re-
suits. Why should not we under
take it in a big way? We can les
sen the crime in our midst by Civ
ing our attention to the youths.
They need a real mans guiding
hand and helpful personality. They
need the example of a true mans
life in forming their character"

AMERICAS GREATEST ROAD
BUILDERS

The United States is now pass
ing through the most intensive per-
iod of highway development in the
history of the world and the roads
being constructed surpass in quail
ity any similar work since the days
of the Roman Empire. Road build
ers of this country have not only
outstripped their predecessors in the
use of the most ancient materials,
but are getting better results with
greater speed, less labor and lower
cost.
Various ancient paving materials
have entered into the construction
of these thoroughfares, chief of
which is asphalt. the oldest water
proof adhesive known to man and
ials, since it was first used in paw
ing a street in Babylon by King
Nabopolassar in $500 B.. C.
Within the last ten years asphalt
has been found in apparently mex
haustable quantities embodied in the
heavy petroleums of Mexico and
California. These petroleums are
now subjected to a refining process
of American asphalt producers who
furnish an asphalt which is 99.5 per
cent pure bitumen. Thus has the
ingenuity of Americans greatly i'm
proved for highway work the most
ancient of all paving materials and
has placed at the service of the
American motorist the finest roads
ever constructed.
This country possesses the longest
paved motor road in the world, the
Pacific highway, running from Van
couver. B. c., along the coast to the
Mexican border. a distance of 1,476
miles.
To American engineers must go
the credit of developing the Oldest
road material known to man to a
point where in it's application to
our modern roads, it affords luxu-
Tious riding and service that is
nearly 100 per cent perfect.
