the trench, he personally led his men
in driving them out. and although
wounded by a bomb, remained at

At three or four or live o'clock in the
good old summertime!

W. 3. L`SNDLPX,
CAPTAIN HINDI,EY SAYS -
People in Western Canada Drive
Twenty Miles to Hear the
Chautauqua Program.
Wben seen at his home in Winni-
peg, after completing a lecture tour
of over sixty Chautauqua towns in
the Prairie Provinces and British
Colombia, Capt, W. J. Iiindley, who
is soon to appear here on our Chau-
tauqua Festival program, said:
"iffy work on the Dominion Chau-
tauquas has been a revelation to me.
They not only fill a unique place in
the life of a people in time ofwar,
but they have shown how absolutely
necessary it is for our people to keep
up normal programs of social and
intellectual activity, and they have
helped meet the wear and tear of
these nerve-racking times,
"We have just completed our tour
of sixty Chautauqua Festivals
through Alberta, Saskatcbewan and
British Columbia, and in every town
but twelve we were compelled to give
double programs in the evening to ac-
commodate the crowds. When I tell
you that without an exception every
one of those sixty towns re -contract-
ed for the return of the Festival in
1918, you can see how our programs
must have tilled a real need in the
lives of these splendid people who
for three and a half years have been
bearing the fearful load of war anx-
iety. Really it was a privilege to
give our programs to audiences that
were so appreciative and so enthus-
iastic. Many of these people drove
over twenty miles to attend the Fes-
tivals. In the little town of Moss-
bank, Saskatchewan, one old couple,
over sixty years old, drove seventeen
miles with an, old .family horse and
buggy to attend our day,
"Our people are fust beginning to
appreciate the truth of 'President
Wilson's message to Chautauqua
workers when he said: 'The Chau-
tauqua has become almost as inte-
gral a part of the national defence
as teen and munitions.'
"In a general way we help to align
our audiences back of all our great
Government activities, uniting them
for the final tests of service which we
expect this year to bring to thee('
allied countries culminating in the
long-delayed but now certain victory,
which will mean the crushing for-
ever of the hideous policies of a war -
maddened autocracy,
"Altogether, 1 regard the Chautau-
qua as presenting a real ministry to
the spirit of the people in times of
war, and feel that 1 am doing my bit
on the Chautauqua platform, just as
truly as though I were on the list
of national speakers working distinc-
tively on war programs, in many
towns returned soldiers have said to
me, after hearing me regret that I
was not permitted to go to France
with my reghnent, 'Capt. llindley,
you are really doing more good for
our cause with your message to our
people here at home than you could
have done in France.' So I am
grateful for the broad, free platform
of the Chautauqua, where I can
speak my mind and message without
any restrictions or compromise. I re-
gard the Chautauqua as the broad-
est and freest field for any publio
speaker to -day,"
Capt. Ilindley will lecture here on
"National Service," and all may ex-
pect a stirring message, particularly
pertinent to the time,
SAMUEL W. G}ARTEL WELL,
PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE.
To the Ioternational Chautauqua
Association Dec. 14th,
"Let me express the hope that you
will let no discouragement weakeo
your activitiee, and that the people
will not fall in the support of a
patriotic institution that may be said
I to be an integral part of 0,4 Lai

NO STAMP-LICKERS
IN NEW ZEALAND
The tongue trough an unruly mem-
ber, is often made sticky and subdued
through the tribulation of stamp -lick-
ing, A mucilage luncheon is not the
most pala'able thing in the world and
grave doubt exists as to its being as
healthy ae it is adheeive. The dire
threat Mout "the tongue cleaving to
the roof of the mouth," probably had
some connection with the licking of the
postage stamps and the results thereof.
In New Zealand the (lovernment
has adopted a postage stamp mach-
ine, which dues away with all the
tongue exercise, which to an institu-
tion baring an extended correspond-
ence, is a great saving. in time to say
nothing of cleanliness, The machines,
which are very compact are owned by
lite government, and are rented by the
your to whoever wants one, instead
of licking the stamps by the hundre.l
evert day the otlice buy simply rums
the letters through the machine, which
keeps an accurate account. An agent
of the postal authorities comes aaound
at regular intervals and collects.
The machines are owned by the
Government and the patents are also
owned by it. but there Is no doubt that
the Canadian administration could se-
cure the right to manufacture and use
these machines if ft were found desir-
able.

AN APPEAL TO
_'SCORCHERS"
Quite a little gem in its way
is the follotving sentence from
a talk on automobile driving
by' Mr, W. A. McLean, Deputy
Minister of Highways for Ont-
tario:
"The majority of fast driv-
ers have nothing to do when
they get there. They are a
menace to themselves, to those
whom they pass, and a nets-
anee to those who reside ;long
the road."
This would be a safer and
mucic more pleasant world if
every motorist would keep this
truth in mind,
