THE forthcoming Chautauqua which Is to be held here will be one of the big events of the season in this section of the state. The above photograph illustrates a typical crowd at one of the Redpath Chautauquas. There are today nearly 1.200 Chautauquas in the United States and Canada. In fact, the Chautauqua-has become one of America’s great institutions, nnd the idea has already spread to England and Japan. In 1872 there was not a Chautauqua in the world. In 1573 Bishop John IT. Vincent and Lewis Miller inaugurated at the spot now called Chautauqua, N. Y.. the original institution. Today Chautauqua, N. Y., is the summer center for 10,000 people, and its land, buildings and equipment represent n cost of millions.

Greco’ Slid Jack were simply good cliupis They loved the same sports, read the same hooks, were interested in the same subjects and disagreed on most of them, which made their conversation piquant, They allowed no sentimental nonsense to interfere 'with their delightful comradship. .Grace <as readig to .Jack an advertisement of a jewelry store, which said ■it wms r-Juipt the 1 ' place to buy engagegnent rings.’’ Jack took in the full force of the suggestionVud said*?arn-j estly- "I will buy- yoti The finest ring! in the store, Grace, if you will wear it." "Why Jack, I—you—J thought j : —"Well, the balance of the conversation vas gaspy. Any way it produced results, for Jack bought a beautiful engagement ring and when he placed it on Grace's finger she said. "It is just too lovely for anything." A short time after Jack bought a wedding ring. Just before the wedding Grace received a letter from her Uncle Mac in Decatur Indiana. -•’’l am glad that you and Jack have recovered from your Platonic hallucination and discovered true happiness in mutual affection," wrote Uncle Mac. As a refftiM for your sanity I will make you a wedding present of a furn-, ished home, If you and Jack will residp in this, the most charming of cities.’’ The newlyweds accepted the generous offer of Uncle Mac and in due; time. reached Decatur and under the' vise k guidance of Uncle Mac forgot all about the “literary fellows and be-, came absorbed in the delightful occupation of preparing for housekeep-; ing. “f have bought a lot for your new house through the Erwin Real Estate agency, they are the leading real estn-. dm’ors in Adams county," said Unde Mac. "I know I receive full value for my money when 1 deal with yiem, my bank roll has increased con- > sidwraliiy by taking their advice, they I jl.ea) hi all d.eitcriptions of real estate, i ' They arc’Oonceded to be the ’ authority in the value of city and farm >■' m Adams county.

You’ll both be a warm friend of this furnace and besides you will be watm J in any part of the house, for It diffuses 1 a uniform heat. It is cleaner than any other furnace because it consumes its ; own smoke, soot and gas and creates pure air, for it is hygenically correct. It -is more economical in th e use of fuel. It is more durable as it is so constructed that it will last as long as the house lasts.” Mr. Leonard can also fit your house with copper cable or Galvnized Lightning rods. "If you want to keep your husband godd natured and healthy, feed him well." said Uncle Mac to Grace. “The most important thing is to secure pure material for your cooking from the grocery store. Poor food will destroy the best disposition in any household. Select the grocer who will , give you the purest of everything and stick to him. By all means trade I with Fred V. Mills who conducts a Mode! Grocery located on Second street, his telephone number is RS. You will find him honorable, fair in prices and accomodating. He carries onlv the highest quality goods his store is a model of neatness and order, and is ' the best arranged and most attractive grocery store in Adams county.

"Where is the best place in Decatur to buy rfieat, Auntie?" asked Grace 11 day or so after they had settled in , tIiMM-i.!-.4 new homo We buy our meat Grace from the White Front Meat Market located three doors we«* of the Adams County Bank.

They have the choicest selections tn fashionable goods for

ttfe season in shoes for both adults and children. Their footwear store is located the first door east of the Murray Hotel on Madison St., and has the best shoes in assortment which can be relied upon for fitting everyone in this region, as you inspect their new and ample stock you will be especially gratified. Tester & Stiverson assert a satisfactory influence in business by their square (dealing. They also conduct a shinning parlor for ladies and gentlemen in connection with their shoe department. It will pay you to inspect their line beJore purchasing shoes elsewhere. "Grace you can send all your cloths to the Decatur Steam Laundry. Kern & Kern have just purchased this laundry and have installed a complete new outfit in the way of machinery. They bought five of the latest improved collar machines and can now laundry your husband's collars and cuffs better than any other laundry in this part of the state. They can wash anything from a circus tent to a silk handerchief. It is such a relief to have a laundry that you can send all your summer or winter apparel to, even to the finest sheerest lingerie and fee! satisfied that ' the garments will not bp torn .Tbey,ii> up face curtains of the finest texture just beautifully Ladies'* arfd tgent's linen done by them lias a superiority of finish that positively cannot be excelled by any other laundry. They have an up-to-date plant with all the .latest improved machinery. They do their work satisfactory and up to the minute and make prompt delivery. I had them do up all my rag carpets, woolen blankets and comforters, Grace, and they just did them grand. They also do all my husbands shirts and collars since they got this new machine. They are both Decatur boys and 1 think every family in Decatur should patronize this Home industry, and not send there cloths out of the city when it can be done as well right here at home.

Smith, Yager & Falk, proprietors of

the (Rexall) Drug store have for several years enjoyed a large and steady growth in business, which makes it at this time the leading drug store in this county. It is only by having absolutely pure drugs, eompoundlngprescriptions with care; keeping the very highest grades of patent medicines and everything rise irertaining to the drug line, along with courteous treatment, that makes this store occupy the high position that it does. It has a large and extensive line of the great Rexall remedies, patent medicines, paints, oils, toilet soaps, perfumes, stationery. Cigars, tobacco hnd druggist sudries of evry description. Good goods and courteous treatment have won for this popular place an ensiahle reputation. Grace and Jack were there shopping this afternoon, and Uncle Mac and Aunt Jane were along. For the niece who graduated a short time ago. they purchased one of those celebrated Seneca Camera's for her brother who is a newspaper artist, and a beautiful! self filling fountain pen. Recalling the camera any young man or girl would be overjoyed on receiving ope You would not be obligating yourself to ask to see tho'snlendld line on display at The Resell store for there is an air of good fellowship, courteous and fair treatment abounding there that makes you feel you have been welcome whether you make a purchase or not. They have cameras that literally speaking, are big enough to bring home, all out of doors, a miniature in size, but lacking nothing of Kodak efficiency or simplicity. Its summertime. Every field and pprk and woodland, every walk and joyous outing invites your kodak. You cun purchase handsome embonned stationery at The Rexall Store and anything you might wish in fine toilet waters tind perfumes. They carry only the-standard advertised grades whose superiority cannot be equalled in the city. In all our-shoppipg we did not fihd a place where- such a tyne j ofbeautiful useful and more giftsvwere displayed or where more courteous treatment was accorded us.” ”ts a man can write a better book, t-reach at better sermon or make n better mouse trap than hjs neighbor, though be build his house in the

But, although thousands of people go annually to Chautauqua, N. Y., from all parts of the United Si.des, the great mass of American people would never get to a Chautauqua if they had to travel far from botne. The recognition of this fact brought about the decision to take Chautauquas to the people everywhere. The movement a few years ago began to spread rapidly. Today there are operated from the Redpath beadquarters in lowa. Kansas City and Chicago nearly GOO Chautauquas. Only the best talent is engaged, as high as $15,000 having been paid by the Redpath for a single attraction for the Chautauqua season. Every year the number of Chautauquas grows, and there are more requests annually from towns wishing to be Chautnno i renters than ran pn««|blv be granted.

woods, the public will make a beaten track to his door, quoted Uncle Mac. We have in Decatur a cleaning and pressing establishment where the work is executed in an incomparable manner, It is the Decatur Dry Cleaners, located the first door east of the Murray Hotel on Madison St. They dry clean, steam clean, repair anil press ladies and Gentlemen's garments and there work is faultless. They use a French Dry cleaning process. This method thoroughly disinfects clotljing. No microbe can possible exist under the method used. They don’t make excuses but make good cloths repaired or cleaned by them bear the marks of practical tailors. Their cleaning process raises the nap, restores the original luster and transfers to the garment that freshness so much desired by good dressers. The most delicate fabri- s can be handled without any inquir:- whatever. "Vjiey also conduct a department for cleaning and blocking hats of all description?. The Decatur Dry Cleaners sav e the people a great deal of money. Let them be your Cloths’ doctor. "Where did you get that CigAr I Unole Mac?" "1 got that at the Model Cigar s»ore. He conducts an up-to-, date billa/ij room in connection, with his wholesale and retail cigar busi-' ness. This is unquestionably the place to purchase your cigars and tobacos, if you desire quality. This. cigar store Is by’far the most pop-' ular cigar store of its kind in the'■ city. The line of goods handled here' counts for Mr .McConnell's popularity,' coupled with great congeniality extended by him and his clerks to their patrons. When you want a smoke drop in at the Model Cigar Store, even though you must walk for blocks. In this halcyon day of “ auto-bandits," "arson trusts," revolutions, floods, militant suffragettes, the billard hall, or I rather the confusing "i>oolroom" is blamed for much unjustly. With the welfare of the passtime at heart, he has earnestly striven to correct or eliminate such minor evils as may exist in his billiard hall and which i reflects discredit on the great game in general. He prevents the admittance of minors to his billiard room, as well as prohibits gambling in any form therein. A crusade began years ago to change the name of “pool" to pocket billiards, which has met with universal success. Today no room-! keeper, no matter how meager his • business nay be. will stand for the name pool In any shape or form. A pool room is essentially a place where men make bets or horse races and «o frequently is confounded with the billiard hall to the utter injustice of I the latter, that is is necessary for the sport's sake 'o give "pool" a more ediI fled moniker, which has been accomplished after years of hard and persistent work. Socket billiards as a result has been lehubiliated and- now bears the same good name as billiards. Leaders of nil indoor recreation games, ehovld light against gambling and admittance to those tn their teens the same as Mr. McConnell does In his rooms. The opinion of the Con servatlve citizen is that the laws governing Billiard Rooms are to strigent ; and should he modified, allowing Boys of sixteen or eighteen years of age to participate in the game.
