He spoke at length on the tinan
cial needs of the Government in
j this our most critical period in
I many decades. His disoription 1
! of the condition of die Belgian]
and French countries and their
I great suffering showed clearly to
j the minds of all present that the
United States was fighting on the
j side of right and justice, and that
I the devastation and atrocities
| committed by the cruel, power-
seeking Hun, in those countries
(alone, would be enough to war-
rant our taking part to protect
! the weaker peoples of dial land.
He clearly depicted the subma
rino disasters, and brought to
our attention more clearly than
ever before the need of forceful
action immediately and with no
reservation on the part of the
United States.
Committees went among the
farmers and business men and

tious; each member has been
carefully traiued, several of them
by Mr Wilson himself,
in addition to the single enter-
tainers, the doubles, the trios,
the quartet, the sextet and the
various ensembles, not the least
of tlie big features are the comic
playlets, the first night, “A Fool
and His Money," illustrating in
a very entertaining and amusing
manner how dangerous it is to
fool with tire; the second night,
“Charley’s Aunt ” Charley's
Aunt comes from Brazil where
the lints come from, and* the lit-
tle skit is brimful of good clean
comedy and fun, bright spark-
ling w t and humor
CfThe real issue <,f this Chautau-
qua party is the moral uplift to
any community in which they
appear. Their last program con
tains the pastoral rural dramatic
playlet, “Mabel Heath,” dealing
with that great moral, “Judge
not, that ye be not judged.”

Facts that Count
The masterly performance of the Dort
engine is achieved at a cost so low as to
challenge comparison under any con-
ditions.
That fact has been1 proved by official com-
petetive tests—as well as by every-day-
in-service records.
Dort popularity is due largely to this
power-without-waste and to the flexibil-
ity. reliability and smooth, quiet running
of its capable motor.
The looks, comfort, convenience, simplic-
ity and driving qualities of the Dort are
equally &ratifyin&.
