Billy Sunday Hits Beefsteak Trail;
Home Economics Expert Responsible
OR three successive years Mrs. Ida
C. Bailey Allen, who is to give her
“preparedness in the home” talk here
on the second afternoon of the Chau-
tauqua, gave lectures and demonstra-
tions at Columbus under the direction
of the Ohio State Journal.
During Mrs. Allen's first visit to Co-
lumbus the Billy Sunday campaign was
under way, and Mr. Sunday accepted
an invitation for himself and party to
partake of a luncheon, the items of
which were selected by himself and
prepared by Mrs. Allen. The meal was
prepared and eaten on the stage of
Memorial Hall. The food which. Mr.
Sunday requested consisted of beef-
steak, baked potatoes and celery salad.
In other words, Billy hit Mrs. Allen’s
beefsteak trail,
Colonel E. S. Wilson, whose daily edi-
torials in the State Journal are a source
of interest to thousands, was particu-
larly impressed by Mrs. Allen’s lectures.
At various times he commented edito-
rially, saying on one occasion: “It is a
treat to hear Mrs. Allen, for she is as
bright as she is instructive. She knows
all about her subject and te hear her is
like listening to a melody.”
- On the occasion of her last visit to
Columbus Mrs. Allen was presented to
her Memorial Hall audience by Mayor
George J. Karb. Later in the week the
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture attended one of the sessions and
took occasion to say: “I feel that there

munity in which he may locate.
Mr. Catherman’s education and ex-
perience fit him to render superior
service along the line of Commercial
education to any persons who may
favor him with their patronage and
my knowledge of him as a man leads
me to believe that no effort on his
part will be spared to give his patrons
the very best business training that
it is possible for them to procure.

that he doesn’t handle as much money
as the banker, nor does he handle as
much bread as the baker, but tle baker

The doctrine of contentment is an
old one, but a better one was never
preached. And the farmer ought to
be the very model of contentment. He
would be if he stopped to think. Men
that set the world afire die in the
flames. Greatness at least acknowl-
edges its weakness. In this there is a
valuable lesson. It should teach us to
be contented. We ought to ask our-
selves this vital question, What is suc-

follow, and silence can last longer than
sound. There never was a storm as
long asthe calm. They that find hap-
piness in bluster will find misery in

Chautauqua Needed Abroad, Says
Noted Chinese Statc
HAT the Chautauqua movement
would be the greatest boon to the
Chinese people in opening to them a
new world vision is the belief of Dr.
Ng Poon Chew, famed internationally
as statesman, orator, humorist and au-
thor. “At the present time the Chau-
tauqua is impractical in my country,”
says Dr. Chew. “The proper environ-
ment of intelligence is wanting. My
people are not sufficiently developed to
appreciate the work and not public
spirited enough to support it, but the
time may come in the distant future
when the Chautauqua movement may
be inaugurated with success.”
Dr. Chew, who is to be here on Pa-
triotic Day, during the Chautauqua,
considers the Chautauqua movement the
most remarkable institution in Ameri-
ca. He asserts that it is the direct
product of American spirit and at the
present time can exist only in Ameri-
ca. “Its continued existence,” he main-
tains, “requires democratic atmosphere,
public spirit in the communities, lib-
eral policy along religious lines, politi-
cal principle and broad mindedness on
the part of a country’s citizens,
“The Chautauqua movement presents
the world thought and the world force
