The current Grocer-Consumer Anti-Inflation Campaign rits the wholehearted cooperation of all concerned, meruit and consumer alike, and with grocers and food dealers particular cooperating it can accomplish inestimable . and

-reaching results. It has been aptly said that inflation is the thi

It is generally known that lrpm the lecturers who came to William Jennings Bryan spoke to Merom Bluff Chautauqua. In 1917 the alrgest paid audience of his Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey gave career in Merom in 1907. He was a thrilling account of his experihired ort a' guaranteed fee of $500 ene'es with the British Army. The plus 50 of ticket sales after the' following year that fabulous Cafirst $1,000' receipts.

his audience topped 15,000 persons. The first day of Chautauqua, Ai-gust 16, 1905, started off with

a bang and set the pace for speakers selected during the thirty-one years. The opening attraction was the Honorable Eugene V. Debs. The late George Bicknell, who was the first Chautauqua President, gave the opening address. Through the life of the Chautauqua, Mr. Bicknell, who later became 6ne of the most famous Lecturer salesmen in the country, cooperated closely with the various program committees in the selection of talent. Other officers of the first session were John L. I'leasantj Vice President; Dr. J. J. Parker, Secretary, and J. W.

Daugherty, Treasurer. Professional and business men from Palestine', Graysville, Sullivari, Robinton, Hutsonville and Sullivan acted as Board of Directors. It was always the policy of the Program Committee to bring to the platform the most prominent and. frequently, the most contro

As early as 1907 the progress of motion pictures was demonstrated with the showing of Vitograph. An aeroplane gave "stunt" performances between the afternoon and evening sessions. In the 1930's radio personalities came to give "live" shows on the platform. 1 The feminine angle was never neglected. Mrs. Philip Snowden, prominent Englishwoman and British exponent of Woman Suffrage, argued the, cause of votes'-for-women here in 1911. One of lhe earliest "red-letter" days was August 29, 1909, when the indom- ; itable and exciting Carrie A. Nation, champion of the Temperance cause, delivered a long-remem

bered oration. Many other types of programs

were presented ranging from dramatic readers and magicians through light , opera companies, home economics demonstrators tnd Boy Scout Camps. In recalling the earlv davs nf

this splendid institution, it is impossible to pass over the "tenting" phase of Chautauqua' life. In 1910 a 14 x 24, 3-room canvas tent rented for $12. Woven wire cots came at 50 cents each, gasoline stoves at $1 and camp chairs at 25 cents. Some families brought the entire furnishings for their camps and, in true Chautauqua spirit, made themselves at home. This was the spirit that made this ' annual event such a tremendous st-ccess long before "vacation" was a part of our everyday vocabulary. Chautauqua was ten days at the end of the summer, given

over to good preachin', good . ' speakin', good music, good friends and good fun.

Headachy? Sour or Upset? Tired-Listless?

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food fnust be digested properly. Each day, Nature must produce about

two pints of a vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested leaving you headachy and irritable. Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
