Adrian, who has been the

great scientist's personal friend for twenty years. Owing to the food situation which has grown to be one of the great ia- '' cues of winning the war, Mr. Adrian

.; ; will dwell on the great importance of :.. . .. the work, and explain the methods by " which this newly developed efficiency is brought about. One new product -. la the Burbank wheat, which will produce 60 to C5 bushels to the acre, " " while other wheat doe3 well to average ., from twenty to twenty-five '"'".bushels. ;:'.. , ; Mr. Adrian was president of . the Teachers' Association " of California - until seven years ago, when he went vv'.-on the Chautauqua and lyceum platform to continue his educational work w". as well as to tell of the new productiona which his great friend, Mr. BurVbank. has developed. " In his first lecture Monday after- ; ;noon, he emphasized the importance of right Ideals In school life, which s- - the teacher may stimulate and draw 'out by sympathy with the children, and by making the school the most attractive spot the child can remember. Methods of discipline were discussed by Mr. Adrian Tuesday morning, when the advantage of "do" instead of "don't" was brought out. Three chan- - nels of developing the child's will are ' through self activity, curiosity and imitation, said the speaker, and the best means of stimulating these are through the power ;of suggestion, which is controlled more through the manner and personality of the teacher than by the sharp command of her voice. "Patience is waiting until the time for correction is rip; endurance is waiting until it is rotten," he said, in summary.

Just to keep the boys warm, the American Red Cross so far has disitributed in round numbers 2.000,000 ''"sweaters, 750,000 mufflers. 1,000,000 . .'wristlets, C00.000 helmets and 1.600,000 . pairs of socks.

HEARD ON THE GROUNDS. One seven-year-old to another, while the militia was drilling: "Is that the captain?" "Naw, that's him makin all the noise." "I'd like to see the man that put up all those horrid signs, 'No Talking.' I had the most things to tell Sarah this afternoon and every time I got started, people looked around at me so much I had to wait, clear until the end of the concert." "Papa, can I have a quarter? I've killed forty flies five, times." "Come on, Bill, I'm thirsty. Let's get some of Patsy's orangeade." "Aw, can't you wait awhile, Jim. When It gets down low you; get so much less water and more- orange." CHICAGO SINGERS GIVE LAST CONCERT The Chicago Operatic company gave its final concert Monday evening. The audience seemed reluctant to part with its favorite musicians and encored each number several times. The Prologue from Pagliacci which was sung by O. M. Schutz, was encored tour times, and many pronounced him the greatest baritone singer ever in the city. One of bis afternoon encores "Knitting" was especially liked. The quartet numbers, "Spirit of Spring." "Commotion of Love," and "The King's Prayer" in the afternoon and in the evening, "In a Persian Garden," were very well received. Teh duet numbers, "Oh Moment That I Bless," by Mrs. Atkins and Mr. Schutz in the afternoon, and "Home to Our Mountain" by Mrs. Gannon and Mr. Miller in the evening were well supported by the accompaniment which Lyell Barber, the pianist formerly with the J. B. Miller company, rendered. In his solo numbers in the afternoon, Mr. Barber4 gave an interpretation of Liszt's Tarrantelle, wMch was twice encored. But the violin numbers which Miss Amy Neill contributed to the program were among the most appreciated; the unaffected simplicity of her stage appearance doing much to win her popularity with the audience "Ave Marie," by Schubert, which was played by request in the afternoon was exquisite in tone quality, and all her numbers were twice encored. ATSY'S STORE IS DESTROYED BY FIRE "Patsy's" store and a portionof his home in Terre Haute, Ind., was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning, with a loss of $4,500, while Patsy wa3 in Richmond, and "Mrs. Patsy" was at home alone. A large quantity of peanuts, popcorn and candy were destroyed, and practically all the allotment of sugar, but this probably can be again supplied according to word received Tuesday morning. - " 'Patsy' does not seem very worried," as one boy remarked, "but I think he'd die smiling." ..... .j . .v.,,.., .a.., iii,jii wjuulb iwu ' 73 T3 tm test" jsrt and Concertina

GREAT THOUGHTS IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE URGED BY ELLIS

"Some people have an affinity for big words, but it is easy to realize that an ability to use tig words is neither a culture nor an education," said Charles Calvert Ellis, vice-president of Juanita college, Huntington, Pa., In his lecture before a large audience at the Chautauqua Monday night. Ellla Is a popular Chautauqua speaker, and his lecture Monday evening was illuminated with rocket-like examples. "The most significant mark of education is an ability to take a great thought and put it into- language which the ordinary man can understand. The dictionary is a good place to find big weds when you- need them, and a still better place to leave them when you do not need them," he remarked. Ellis centered hi3 lecture around "the biggest word in the dictionary," as he puts it. "This biggest word," he said, "is possibilities, for no one yet has been able to put limits, breadth, or depth to it. There are always possibilities and no one can determine or define their extent. I believe there is no end to this word eternity and immortality are wrapped in it." There are two kinds of possifiilitles, the speaker explained, the kind that go up and help something or some one and the kind that face downwards. He then pictured them with examples of world conquerors and world savers differentiating cleverly, "The men who work toward saving the world will be honored as long as the world lasts." "Character, achievement and service are the heads of possibilities and where can these be hemmed in or defined?" he ended. CHIEF OAUPOLICAN IS HERE THURSDAY "Distinctive and novel" is the characterization given to the Castle Court Singers who will be in this city Wednesday, to give a program both at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and at 8:15 in the evening. They will appear in costume, and are recommended most highly. Chief Caupolican, who drew one of the largest Sunday crowd3 at the Chautauqua last year and who delighted the Rotary Club at one of their luncheons several weeks ago, will be on the platform Thursday evening at 8:15 o'clock. He tells the story cf the struggles which his race has endured, and since he is recognized a9 the greatest orator among the Indians, he brings a message which is always new. Francis H. Green, the noted educator who was to have been an institute speaker for the entire week, will arrive Friday, according to latest word and deliver his lectures scheduled for that day.

Italian Musicians Give Program Today Bellino and Dewillo, both noted experts on the accordian and concertino, were engaged to take the place of the Castle Court Singer for Tuesday. They play unusually large Instruments and present their music with the swinging rhythm of the Italian.

ELLIS DISCUSSES USE OF STORIES The use of the story was discussed by Charles C. Ellis in the institute lecture at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The four main advantages in story telling which Mr. Ellis brought out were, first, the better language which it unconsciously Instills into the child's vocabulary when the words of the author are quoted, this being especially true in poetry. Second, the acquaintance with many characters in literature which enrich the life of those who know and appreciate allusions to them In general reading. Third, the inside. Into character dedevelopment and the Imagination which story telling brings about when the child is left to finish the story himself; and fourth the moral influence which stories have. ATTACK CENSORSHIP ' OF AIRCRAFT PROBE WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Army censorship orders barring from transmission abroad, certain features of the recent report of the senate military sub-committee which investigated aircraft production were sharply attacked today in the senate by Repub lican senators. They declared information in the report already Is known to the allies and the enemy and charged that the purpose of the order was to. prevent the information going to the American people. Registration Board to Be Open in Evenings The county board of registration has anounced that for the benefit of the factory employes and those who can not register to vote during the day, the registration clerks will be in the court house every evening of this week beginning Monday, until 8:30 o'clock.

Not very many years ago in the history of the world, the man that lived in America had to hunt for his food or go without Now he sits down at a table and decides what he wants to eat; or his wife calls up the market and has it sent home for him. And what he gets is incomparably better, , Everyone of us has some part in the vast human machine, called society, that makes all this convenience possible. The packer's part is to prepare meat and get it to' every part of the country sweet and fresh to obtain it from the stock raiser, to dress it, cool it, ship it many miles in special refrigerator cars, keep it cool at distributing points, and get it into the consumer's hands your hands through retailers, all within about two weeks. For this service so perfect and effective that you are scarcely aware that anything is being done for you you pay the packers an average profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound above actual cost on every pound of meat you eat.
