BUILDING GREATER BARNS.

Once upon time the story there was prosper

and improve himself mentally and spiritually he tore down
his barns and proceeded to build greater ones linen he
died.
The farmer business the story followed much the
same of life conduct that do even today
He spent his whole life getting goods And that was all ne
got.
However, American each year are learning and
more to enjoy life they along They are finding that
it is not worth while to spend all their years anasslng
wealth which they cannot enjoy. Making life has
become interesting occupation than making living
No other thing probably contributed more to help

Not only does chautauqua help all the people in each

who spend part of week each year doing community

of unselsh community work and plans 1t as part OF

Chautauuuas greatest contribution of course is the

the surrounding to meet year on common ground
where they forget differences of opinion where they
forget business and where they the friend
ships that really much in life.
The zest that from laughing together at clean
sparkling humor at listening together to great nsp1ra
tional messages and at seeing together the wonders of
science and the triups of modern DRAMA contributes to
the enjoyment of the whole year.
Naturally, the dividend which chautauqua pays to the
boys and girls of it's greatest accomplishments 1t is
impossible to estimate the good that has been dOne the
ambition that has been stirred and the inspiration received
by the young folks, from chautauqua.

The public spirited citizens of Bos-
ton sign a guarantee for their opera
season in exactly the same way that
smaller cities and rural communities
sign guarantees for Chautauqua and
work up subscription lists for local
fairs and celebrations. The accomp-
anying facsimile of an appeal in the
Boston Transcript shows that it is not
only the smaller towns and Chau-
tauquas that have guarantees.
Business men everywhere realize
the necessity for community events.
In Chicago, the Opera Association
makes up a deficit of a million dol
lars year, approximately, and does
it every year. It never pays out. In
spite of this, Chicago wouldn't think
of being without an opera company,
as it gives the citizens entertainment
of kind that business men and So
cial leaders feel is exactly worth
while, altogether financially unprofit-
able.
Kansas City every year raises
large sum of money to guarantee the

ton; Wichita, Kan, has fund for
the Wheat Exposition; Waco, Texas,
has Cotton Show; the Metho-
dist churches of Nebraska run the
Epworth Assembly, and so it goes.
There used to be time when
Chautauqua representatives were met
by the argument that Chautauqua
companies ought to come into a COM
munity without contract. However,
in recent years, such an argument is
seldom heard, as the information
about what the big cities are doing
and better realization of the reason
for the local contract is generally
prevalent. Good business men every
where realize that in order to get the
sort Of Chautauqua that will be
credit to the town, it is necessary to
have united community support in the
same way that Boston gets it through
the Opera Association. Boston is not
satisfied with the sort of an opera
season they would have if only the
actual receipts were put into the pro-
gram.

BINED IN ONE

his story book in which he has al
ways kept fresh supply. If you
don't want good laugh, stay at
home, because Beshore sprinkles in
a smile or two among the tears that
are likely to come during the lecture.
Among the many comments, one
which just arrived from Lyle, Texas,
is apt:
eve have vivid and pleasant rec
objection of Mr.. Beshore's presence
with us on the platform with your
Chautauqua in 1922. We were pleas
ed with his lecturette "Going Some"
and were thrilled with his grafton,
"Things Not for Sale" His presence
on the platform this year brought
rounds Of applause. We learned to
love and appreciate him when he first
came among us. The old and the
young enjoy his wit and sparkling
humor. He knows and loves human
ity. His stories are not only enter
tanning but are apt. He is COM
munity builder and his value to any
community that has a semblance of
cooperation cannot be measured in
dollars and cents. We are better
community by reason of his presence
among u.s."
"Things Not For Sale" The most
vital things of life. The things which
bring the greatest wealth but which
are often overlooked are Beshore's
secret to eternal happiness. Come
out and enjoy yourself with Beshore.

The plot thickens when an almost I'M
known woman comes to their apart
ment and insists on leaving $4,000
for him to invest. He tries to hide
the money but it, together with his
wife's pearls, are stolen by one whom
he always thought to be friend.
The mysterious woman comes to,
his apartment, calls him her Don
Carlos. What could man do under
all these trying circumstances. He
might "stub his toe" or he more
likely would spill the beans. This well
meaning, but sorely tempted husband,
does both. He gets in bad all the
way round. His wife has been crav-
ing for a change but not such a sud-
den change.
Of course it wouldn't be play I'M
less it turned out all right. It does,
but it keeps the audience in either a
shroud of mystery or in hilarious
glee, for every minutes thrill.

It has become so commonplace to
describe a lecturer as "man with a
ge"-''Truly worth while" and
the many other hackneyed statements
that to mention them in connection
with Andrew S. Beshore would de-
tract rather than add to the value Of
this eminent speaker.
These things could be truly said
about Beshore, for he's all that and
a whole lot more Beshore is one Of
the greatest platform men in Chau-
tauqua today. That's broad state
ment but be present on the second
night and decide for yourself.

IS MYSTERY

1.-THE fastest worker in Congress. :"
This is the unofficial title be-.
slowed upon Senator Rice W..
Means of Colorado by his col
leagues.
Means won some votes for the
title last March when he was named
chairman Of the Senate Claims
Committee after serving only three
months in that august body. He
succeeded Senator Arthur Capper,
who became the committees chair
man only after four years service.
Now the ColoradoarO has been
given the title without restrictions
because he persuaded the Senate
Rules Committee to turn over. to
him a committee office adjoining
the Senate Chamber in the Capitol.
Just for fun, Means asked for the
quarters formerly occupied by the
late Senator La Toilette. Just Tor
fun, the committee gave Means the
rooms.
Thus the Coloradoan obtained
quarters after one years service
which La Toilette won only after
serving a decade. The luck or

mysteries.
