iinpi'Cssi and and pleased to note the ab
sence of those soealled “dull speakers.”
The uninteresting, dry lecture is now a
'thing of the past. Unless a man has
a vital worth-while message—unless he
J is a sincere, convincing speaker, able
| to please and entertain as "vve.ll as fur
. nish inspiration he finds no place oil
tin' platform of the Commuiinity flhau
taiKpm. And so each lecturer who ap
pears here will have something of inter
est to talk about anil will tell it in n
manlier that impresses and pleases his
audience, 'this program de luxe offers
four lectors, widely (liferent in charac
ter hut alike in one respect, namely,
that each lecturer is foremost in his own
particular field. The program opens
with the liniipie offering of Albert Ed
ward Wiggani, noted publicist, Scientist
and thinker. From among his many lec
tures Mr. Wiggani will give one of two,
live, up-to-the-minute discourses —“
Ifovv lil i (bit There ” or “ Forty Kinds
of Fools” both filled with vigor and
thought. The general feeling of an and
dietin' after hearing Mr. Wiggani is
that they have met a worthy lecture on
a subject of great value.
In direct contrast, is the great illus
trated lecture by Dr. J. W. Skinner on
“The Homanee of South American En
terprise.” I’erliaps no one is more qual
ified to speak on the subject of Sunlit
America, the land of the immediate fu
ture, than Dr. Skinner. Although an
Englishman, he was born in IVni, and
lias explored prnetiealluy all of Peru,
Chili, Argentum and a large part of
Brazil lie is an enthusiast oil the hid
den potentialities of this great south
ern continent, and in his enthusiasm he
communicates I" his audience to an ex
tent that is truly remarkable. He be
lieves that the natural resources of
South America are such that she will
eventually dominate the world eomnier
riullv. In view of the entense interest
in South America on the part of Amer
ican commercial organizations, this lec
ture is indeed most interesting and
timely.
For eighteen years, Denton ('. Prowl,
has been one of the outstanding fig
ure* of the American platform. This
causim, appear* on the third day with
his friendly, human message, tinged
with a kindly satire on the customs
and dress of society, which gives to you
anew and modern Sam Jones —eloquent,
positive and inspiring. Mr. Prowl is al
so an able writer, being a valued edit
oi inlist for the Toledo Blade, Detroit
Journal and Newark St a r Fugle.
Then there is that (list ingnsished
southern orator and educator, Waltei
Kirkland Greenr, who is headmaster of

is entitled “The Oven ter Pyramid.”

These lectures alone are worth more
than the price of admission to the Com
munity Chautauqua, which to the first
fortunate five hundred purchasers of n
season ticket is only 1<2.2b, and to those
less fortunate $275 including war tax.
In fact, each of these attractions
would cost that much in a large city.
So hete is the opportunity to see them
at home thus saving the expense and
bother of travel.
TO CHANGE PLANES IN

An event of extraordinary interest
is announced for Saturday, May 22nd,
at I.akewood Park Atlanta, Ga. by man
ager H. M. Striplin of the Southeast
ern Fair Association, when the “ Fear
less Tinney ’' will change planes in mid
air going at the.rate of <<• miles an hour.
Those who have seen this super-hazar
dous accomplish meat say that one can
not find language to express the trans
portation under such circumstance*.
The words daredevil and death defying
seem,commonplace in trying to describe
this act. says Tinney’s manager who
has been managing aviators since they
were first used to cutcreuin the public.
Just now Park is the big
gest amusement enterprise in the South,
says Mr.. Striplin, and its popularity is
attested by the facts that Sunday
Schools from a distance of one hundred
miles are coming to I.akewood for
there annual event. The many build
iugx and splendid accommodations give
assurance that the day will not be spo
led by u little rain. The next big event
following the changing planes will be
the big Independent day celebration.
July 3rd and sth, which will Vie featured
