Where Can I Do the Most Good? (By G. I. Christie, of Purdue University) Where can I serve my Country best? Should I go to college and complete my education or shall I stay on the farm and help produce food? These and many other questions are now being received from hundreds of young men in' Indiana by the School of Agriculture of Purdue University. These young men are told that food is the first essential of a fighting force and that the farmer is the world's food producer. They know that soldiers in both Europe and America have become consumers and destroyers of food rather than producers. They also know the Government is urging farmers to increase the output of their farms in order that the army may be supplied with food and clothing. In answer to these questions Dean J. H. Skinner of the Purdue School of Agriculture has issued a statement in answer to these many inquiries. In this he says that never in the history of the world has there been such an urgent

POPE'S PLEA TO BRING PEACE, SAYS NEILSON Former Parliament Member Declares All Nations Are Tired of the War. What might tend eventually to bring world peace is seen in the proposals of Pope Benedict to the belligerent! by Francis Neilson. who was a member of the English Parliament when the war started. Neilson was here today for a lecture at the Chautauqua. Neilson, who is an author, dramatist, theatrical manager and diplomat, delivered an address on "Europe After the War" before the largest Sunday audience which m ever attended the Chautauqua here. In an interview with a Palladium reported he expressed a belief that a conference of nations would be called as a result of the appeal of the head of the Catholic church, in which warring nations would set forth their view on peace. "All Want Peace." .JM.1 . 1 n . J 11 j n peoples 01 xiingiauu auu me peoples of all the warring nations, including Germany certainly want peace," he said. The calling of the conference of nations would not mean, however, that the war would be called off and the fighting atop at once. It might lead to that, however. The first basis of settlement must be the evacuation of all conquered territories, he said. The pope's peace proposals are considered to be the most impressive ever addressed to the belligerents giving them the general lines on which peace negotiations mar be initiated. The papal appeal also includes many suggestion of President Wilson. Saya War Will Go On. If peace is not brought about by the pope's proposals then the war will continue until the peoples of Germany are emancipated from their "slough of ignorance" and turn their guns upon the Kaiser. This in the opinion of Neilson is fur to hannpn in tim "The laws enacted by Germany, intended to safeguard its people have " destroyed the initiative in their minds ao4 they are unable to fight .for jus tice." Neilson said. "The United States entry In the war makes victory certain for the allies The people of this country however. don't realize what diplomatic power they wield. The warring countries of Europe could be strangled tomorrow by the power of the United States. This irtnntrv hns trio ftiinnliea the rlinlnmats and could end the war. This May Be Last. Asked whether he thought the present war would be the last great con flict Neilson said it would if the coun tries of Europe are "internationalized toward the United States." "If the countries are banded together, such as the different states of the United States are banded together un der one government then this will be the last year. But unless that happens their will be a war even greater in its destructive' ness after this war ends." The United States will hold Euro pean problems in the palm of its HERE'S PROOF A Richmond Citizen Tells of His Experience.

Benson May Preach to Arnexes Abroad

Rev. John G. Benson, platform manager of the Richmond Chautauqua, may soon be preaching to American soldiers in the trenches of Europe. Rev. Mr. Benson has been asked to go to Europe by the National Young Men's Christian association, and has not fully decided whether or not he will accept . He is assistant to Bishop Henderson of the Methodist church, and is in charge of religious services in army cantonments of Michigan. His head quarters are in Detroit. BROWNING HELD FOE TO SORROW Browning's poems as antidotes for sorrow and gloom were recommended by Dr. William Phelps, the Yale Instructor who has an international reputation as an authority on literature, is his talk at the Chautauqua Monday. He related the love story of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Berry, which he said was the greatest love story the world ever has known. "The poems of Browning enable one to get a new interest in life, to feel that there Is something worth living for after all," he said. He spoke on the modern novel at the afternoon session and Tuesday will again speak on Browning. FOUR IN COMPANY The personnel of the Oxford peratlc company, which will present the comic operetta, "The Dutch Doll," Monday night is as follows: Stella Sebastian Ogden, soprano and reader; Vera Ross Coburn, contralto; Claude Hart Ogden, tenor; and Harvey Allen Letter, basso. GET FREE PLUNGES The shower baths and swimming pool of the Y. M. C. A. have been thrown open to all men holding Chautauqua season tickets, Physical Director Schwan announced Monday. The men will be admitted to the pool every day of the week with the exeception of Thursday, which has been set aside for boys. hands after the war, Neilson predicted. "A change will cove over the scene at the close of this war," he said. "An ambassador of the United States can rise and say 'Russia make Poland free, 'England make Ireland free.' It Is a fine thing to have a clean slate. No wonder all Europe is talking about the United States. "Europe never made a treaty of peace. They are all treaties of war. The next must be a treaty of peace and drafted by the people." A Mother's Love Through all the ages, a mother's love has been the most beautiful sentiment ever expressed.

demand for trained men. Within the three months since war was declared the attention of the Nation has been directed to American Colleges of Agriculture as never before. The value and good influence of students of these institutions in the development of the agriculture and industries of the country is shown in a way that is astounding to even the most farsighted and practical men. Those who think that the present situation is temporary and that it will be relieved at the end of the war could make no greater mistake. Whatever the outcome of the war, the position of the trained man and the demand for his service will be very important and urgent. With the great demand for trained men in this crisis it will be most unfortunate if young men who have completed high school or who have done some work in college discontinue their education. The needs of the country for efficient trained men are bound to increase as the war goes on. If the ranks are depleted and others are not prepared to take their places the industries and agriculture are bound to suffer seriously. After the war there will be the great problems or reconstruction and development work. At that time there will be even a greater demand for leaders. The opportunity for the scientifically trained man is very great and every one who can enter an institution such as Purdue University should plan by all means to do so.

RECORD CROWD AT CHAUTAUQUA A record-breaking crowd attended the opening of the Chautauqua program Sunday afternoon and night. It was estimated that more than 3,600 persons heard the lectures and concerts and about 4,000 persons were on the grounds during the day. The large auditorium tent was pack ed to capacity at both the afternoon and evening program. The acoustics were good the persons in the far rear of the tent having no difficulty in bearing every word spoken from the platform. The Chautauqua program was opened at 9:30 o'clock with Sunday school services conducted by Edward F. Hasemeier. Rev. John G. Benson, platform manager, delivered the sermon. In the afternoon the Oxford Concert company, three men and two women rendered a musical program followed by the address of Francie Neilson, former member of the English parliament. Rev. Mr. Benson lectured at the evening performance and the Oxford company again delighted the large audience with its rendition of classical and popular selections. QUIET REIGNS IN SPAIN MADRID, Aug. 20.

HOWELLS PICKED AS GREATEST OF LIVINGJVRITERS Dr. Phelps, Yale Critic, Says Veteran Is Best American Novelist.

Dr. William Lyon Phelps of Yale university, an authority on literature, expects no great literature to be produced as a direct result of the greatest of all wars. I Dr. Phelps spoke on the poetry and are or Kobert and Elizabeth Browning before several hundred persons at the Chautauqua Monday morning. "Wars divert the minds of the people to other things and they don't think of literature," he said. "Only three great poems were written as a result of the civil war and I don't believe the present war will produce more." Twain Was Equal William Dean Howells, author of 'Rise of Silas Laphan," is America's greatest living writer in the opinion of Dr. Phelps. Mark Twain, the writer of humorous stories, who died some time ago, ranks with Mr. Howells, he said. "The Scarlet Letter." by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is considered by Dr. Phelps to be the greatest literary masterpiece ever written by an American author, with "Huckleberry Finn," by Mark Twain a close second. Dr. Phelps picked Thomas Hardy, the English novelist, and author of "Tess of Urbervilles," as the world's greatest living writer, with Dean Howells second. The writings of both Hardy and Howells are alike in that they make character studies. 4 O. Henry (William Sidney Porter), author of .'The Four Hundred," and other humorous short studies, is one of the world's greatest short story writers, in the opinion of Dr. Phelps.

"Child Wonder" h Product of Indiana

Alice Louise Shrode, the "child wonder" of the Chautauqua stage, who will appear before Richmond audiences Monday afternoon and night, Is a product of Indiana. Born In Evansville, she first attracted attention when she appeared before audiences at that place, and gave readings and exhibitions of dancing. Under the tutelage of her mother, who did talk "baby talk" to her daughter as most mothers do, she developed into a reader of unusual ability, although only eight years old. Chautauqua bureaus were attracted when they hear dof the child prodigy and negotiated with her mother for her appearance on the Chautauqua platform. Knight Shirts Get Oaths at Witching Hour of Midnight 'Tis the mystic hour of midnight. All is quiet around the Chautauqua and the tents of the Y. M. C. A. boys' roundup, otherwise the Royal Order of Knight Shirts. The clock strikes. Suddenly Vernon D. Brammer, exhausted grand master of the order, steals from bed. With him are the three officers. They approach a bed and its ocupant is warned to rise and come with them. What happens? No one knows, save that the victim usually yells once or twice before he returns to bed. 'Tis the initiation into the order, and like all such, a mystery. One or two boys a night are to be initiated until the end of the Chautauqua, or the end of the supply of boys, says Brammer. i Remains of ancient furnaces in which iron was smelted more than twenty centuries ago have been found in Sweden.

How to Overcome Foot Troubles Unless a person has actually suffered with tired, aching, burning feet or painful corns or calluses, they cannot appreciate the misery that such afflictions bring. Reports now show that over 90 per cent, of the American people suffer from some form of foot troubles and modern footwear is said to be causing an alarming increase in this percentage. Therefore, the following should prove of special interest to readers. Recently in the treatmennt of these foot troubles by patients using IceMint, these disinctive features were noticeable. Tired, aching, burning and swollen feet invariably become cool, easy and comfortable after the first application, while in the treatment of corns and calluses, It was noticed that after a few nights' application, the corn or callus had a tendency to loosen, and in a short time could easily be lifted out with the fingers root and all leaving the surrounding skin in normal, healthy condition. This, together with the fact that Ice Mint costs little and Is so easy and pleasant to apply and is absolutely harmless is no doubt responsible for the high endorsement given it by Specialists as the surest, Bafest and most efficacious treatment for distressing foot troubles. When you stop to consider that the simple, pleasant process of rubbing a little Ice-Mint on the foot at night will shortly rid one of every painful corn or callus, and will keep the feet cool, comfortable and rested even on the hottest days it is easy to understand its great popularity and why it is now used in nearly every American home. Anyone suffering from foot troubles is advised to give Ice-Mint a triaL There is nothing better. Adv.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. He says that a few drops of a drus called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly relieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all; lifts right out. This drug is a sticky ether compound, but dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Cut this out, especially if you are a woman reader who wears high heels. NATURA For All Forms of Catarrh, and is worth the price as a Blood Purifier only.
