WASTE OF WOMAN POWER MENACE TO RURAL LIFE . ■: i tj®i assrai® ■L (Contin ■ i Picture of Farm Woman's Work Day.! ? The survey discloses a number of! tho reasons why many women do me j find farm life attractive. The working day of the average farm woman, as | shown by the survey, is 11.3 hburs. the ■v er round. In summer, it is 1.>.12 hcurn. And 87 out of each 100 women have no .regular vacation during the year. On the average, the farm woman can find only 1.6 hours of lei- ; sure during the summer and only .1.4 'hours in winter. Half of the farm.

Mr. W. B. Olds, of the James Millikin University at Decatur. Illinois, comes to ns this season'- v.ith a most attractive Lecture Recital on Bird Life and Bird Music. Mr. Olds has made an exhaustive study of this subject with the special purpose or using actual bird melodies ami calls in the composition of songs for children. In his program he sings, and whistles a number of these very interesting songs, explaining and commenting in a m;mner which makes his program of decided educational value and at the same time, of absorbing interest to all.

He will bring to the Chautauqua platform’a message on the general thenm of “The Education of the American” that will in \ all probability surpass any other platform declaration during the entire session. Brilliant, illuminating, rugged, thrilling, informing .Dr. Gunsa.nlus stands at. the top of America’s oratorical achievements. A master message by a master mind.

There ha never been brought to America from any land an organization equal to the famous Mountain Ash Welsh Choir that landed in New York from Wales the 17th of last October. It is declared by musical experts to be “The finest male choir in the world.” Fourteen marvelous native Welsh Singers, ever.', man a prize winner. Mr. Clyndwr Richards, their loader, is in all probability the greatest Welsh loader ever conducting n like organization on any American tour. They have set a new standard of concert enthusiasm and have proved a musical sensation in their appearances in the large cities of America during the last six months. In chorus work they are simply superb; in solos, duets, quartettes, and other combinations there has never been anything heard on the Chautauqua platform to compare with them. This is beyond question the greatest vocal organization appearing on any Chautauqua platform ip America, and wilt prove to be one of the GREAT OUTSTANDING MUSICAL EVENTS of our Chautauqua.

A BIG DRAMATIC HEADLINER. TWO GREAT PROGRAMS. The Clifton Mallory Players have a record of over seven hundred return engagements. There is a reason. It is the finest dramatic organization doing Lyceum and Chautauqua work. Mr. Mallory entered the Lyceum field twelve years ago and with the production of "David Garrick." Since then the company has presented eleven plays and toured every state in the Union and Canada. Mr. Mallory is recognized as one of America’s foremost actors and dramatic directors and is the author of five successful plays. His supporting company is selected from artists of experience, education and refinement. In the afternoon this company will give a new Chautauqua feature, a Musical Play entitled “Money.” This Is a bright clean comedy of three acts interspersed with catchy musi cal numbers. For the evening production they will give “Caste,” a standard play written by T. W. Robertson, the author of “David Garrick.” Its action, comedy, pathos and variety will appeal to every person of every taste and fancy. What a fine day the Mallory Day will be. ETHEL SALISBURY HANLEY CHAUTAUQUA ENTERTAINER Ethel Salisbury Hanley appeared on mors than seventyfive Chautauquas last, season. For the afternoon program she will give a very clever cutting from “Polly of the Circus” retaining all the characteristics of this well known play, and without wigs, scenery, or costume, she will make the characters live before you. In the evening she will appear in child impersonation selections, using child costume. You Will like her very much'.

CHAUTAUQUA ANNOUNCEMENT The Chautauqua program last year proved a happy stir prise to this entire community. The plan of having an Independent Chautauqua managed and controlled by local citizens, and at the same time enabling us to cooperate with a large number of other big Independent Chautauquas in the securing of talent, made possible this success. The Chautau qua friends wishing to see a bigger Chautauqua this year than we had last subscribed for a large number of season tickets during the Chautauqua of 1919. Every dollar represented in these subscribed tickets has been used by the Chautauqua Board to buy talent for this year. On account of these splendid subscriptions we are able to announce a program superior in every way to the one of last year. The famous Mountain Ash Welsh Choir is beyond question the greatest vocal organization that has ever crossed the ocean; the Van Grove Opera Company will prove an extraordinary musical attraction; the other musical attractions are varied and fine. The Clifton Mallory Players are filling over seven hundred return engagements; the entertainers are tine; and the speakers are the best that money can buy. Everybody is urged to enthusiastically support the greatest Chautauqua Decatur has ever had. PAUL “SUNSHINE” DIETRICK HUMOROUS ENTERTAINING LECTURER SUBJECT: “THE SACRIFICE HIT” Paul “Sunshine” Dietrick is one of the most helpful entertaining and humorous lecturers on the platform. He is a community builder and not. a destroyer; an optimist and not a pessimist; a booster and not a knocker; an inspiration to bigger, better and happier things. “The Sacrifice Hit” is based on the sacrifice of a player for the sake of the team in the game of baseball. This lecture is built from the standpoint of the community. It is an uplift. Humor, story telling, fun and philosophy will make this lecture hour a delight to everybody.

DR. ISAAC T. HEADLAND POPULAR INSPIRATIONAL AND DYNAMIC SPEAKER. SUBJECT: “THE BYPRODUCTS OF CIVILIZATION.” A Chautauqua manager introduced Dr. Headland as follows: “Ladies and gentlemen, 1 want to introduce to you Dr. Isaac Taylor Headland of Peking—New York ami the World. ‘Headland’—a promontory but not a bluff.” . For sixteen years Dr. Headland was one of the leading men connected with the Peking (China) University. A teacher, author of many books, world traveler, inspirational lecturer. Here are some of the hundreds of terse comments made about him: “A live wire, and every time you touch him you get a shock.” "He is a dynamo and he never ap pears without bringing both power and light.” “He is a whirl-wind.” “He is an avalanche of ideas in a cataract of words.” Hear Dr. Headland.

which to buy efficiency. The installation so modern lighting systems 1 would release some of the time of the ! women in the 79 per cent, of homes where kerosene lamps are used. The i initial cost would be small when weighed against convenience and comfort. The installation of heating systems would release some of the time of the 54 per cent, of women who care for two coal or wood stoves. "As power on the farm is the greatest of time and labor savers for the farmer," Miss Ward’s report says, "so power in the home is the greatest boon to the housewife.” Forty-eight per cent of farms covered by the survey reported power for operating farm i

machinery but only 22 per cent, have ; this advantage for the home. “That," - says Miss Ward, "is a singular fai t when we consider that frequently it i is a simple matter to connect the eni|gine used at the barn with the hour I hold equipment." The washing much [line is another labor-saver. Selling the *• cream to a creamery wherever pos ) sible instead of churning it at home is still another. In short, the same - sort of intelligence and a fraction j the money applied to making field > ,and barn work convenient w'ould, if II applied to the home, save untold t ’’drudgery to the women of the farm and would add both to the profit and i,the comfort of farm life.
