Some who have read the advertis- ing are very curious to know just what a Chautauqua is and we will try to explain, altho it is no easy task doo to s . The first one was started at Lake Chautauqua, New York, by good old Bishop Vincent, Ile wanted a place where folks could get together and camp and have a good time, and de- vote their leasure to study. So he found a man named Lewin. Miller, who had plenty of money and was anxious to do good with it (and thats' really what money is for) and the two of them started what Is now known as `the Mother Chautauqua' It's been running for more than forty years and thousands go there every year, From this first Chautauqua there sprang up many, They were in towns where they had big public auditor- iums and many public-spirited men with lots of money, who arranged prof grams of entertainment to which all could eo?ne, Even the mother Chau- tauqua soon found that to attract peo- ple they must have entertainments— so they began to build 'programs of good entertainment, splendid music, fie lectures—and and ese — h other C hau- re t n to Qhas followed.. suit.

Nearly fifty three -day Chautauquas were held in as many towns of the Provinces in April and May, and near- ly as many more six-day Chautaques will be held this summer, It is a community event in which the Dominion Chautauqua joins with the patriotic and public-spirited peo- ple of the town in treating its citizens to one of the biggest and best series of entertainments it has ever enjoyed. Theodore Roosevelt has called Chau- tauqua 'the most American thing in America' and by the same token it will become the,most Canadian thing in Canada, for `America' means all America and the spirit of Chautauqua is the spirit of Democracy .

VOTE FOR THE BYLAW The Fertilizer Industry Will Make Good We all knew the fertilizer busieess is an industry of national importance, and at this particular time especially so, as we make extraordinary endeavors to increase the food production of this country apart from the patriotic spirit we are showing. It will be of great material value to the agricultural Community and to the town in general to have Messrs Parker and Taylor locate here. If the by-law is vot- ed down, they will go to soma of our neighbouring towns and be welcomed to. Mr. Taylor is a trained analytical chem- ist, and has specialized in the manufac- turer of fertilizer, After receiving his chemical training at the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College, he was employed by Alex Cross & Sons, Ltd, Glasgow, the largest fertililizer manu- facturers in Scotland. Mr. Taylor has been ten years in America, three in Chic- ago and for the last seven years has been in charge of the Stone Limited Plant. Here is what the Medical Health Offi- cer of Ingersoll has to say of the plant which Mr. Taylor conducts. Ingersoll, July 13th, .191g L, Binklcy, Esq. Mayor Dear Sir; 1 beg herewith to state regarding the large Fertilizer Factory in Ingeroll that it is a great benifit to the town from the money spent in the community in tite forth of wages An even greater benefit to the surrounding farming community from the Fertilizer supplied, and that the plant ie operated and managed so that there is no cause of complaint to the Board of Health. l'.
