CHAUTAUQUA MAGNET
DRAWS HAPPY CROWD
Redpath Giving People of North
Canton One of the Best Pro-
grams To Be Seen Anywhere,
and They Are Packing Tent.
MANY   STRONG   FEATURES
If the next three clays of the Red-
path chautauqua are going to be anything like Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning then it is hardly
necessary for The Sun to remind its
readers that they put in their afternoons and evenings under the big tent.
This year's chautauqua program is
classy in every way, and William
Slater, the courteous and capable
superintendent, did not overstep the
bounds of truth when he informed a
writer for this newspaper that he felt
sure the people would appreciate it.
There ' is nothing of the cut-and-
dried stuff about this season's offerings; quite the contrary. There is vim
and dash and an originality that is
quite refreshing, and you' come away
from one of the sessions thoroughly
satisfied with yourself for going there.
So if from any cause you have missed
a number, just make up your mind to
be there this Wednesday night and
every afternoon or night following
until the final curtain is lowered on
Saturday night.   •

[By Secretary Williams]
A lot of stress is being laid these
days on what one eats, and why not?
One eminent physician has said, "Tell
me what you eat, and I will tell you
what you are." Isn't it true that if
the materials we eat go into energy
and in building tissue, that one must
be careful?
By the same token, what you think
has a great deal to do with what you
do. The Great Teacher said once upon
a time, "As a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he." Could anything be
truer than that? Someone else has
said "The thought is father to the
deed." Havenlt you found yourself

their captains are Lela Workinger and
Catherine Foltz.
Letters will be given to the winning teams on the last night of chautauqua. All boys and girls, no limit
on age, are welcome to take part in
the sports. One of the features is the
story, and the youngsters crowd
around Miss Williams like bees around
a patch of clover*.
Looking At Miss Williams
Miss Gladys Williams, Redpath
chautauqua representative in charge
of the junior work,'resides in Columbus, and was graduated from Ohio
State. She will leave for Columbia
University, New York, next week
where she is studying for a Master's
degree. She is a handsome young woman with much charm of manner,
very fond of children, and possesses
intelligence of a high order; in fact
it is no exaggeration to say that she
has proved one of the most popular
and capable leaders Junior Town ever
had in this part of Ohio. Assisting
her, and most capably, too, are Miss
Marjorie Manchester and Miss Katherine McCamant.
Miss Williams would appreciate it
if parents will drop around and watch-
their children at play» if only for a
few minutes, just to give them an
idea of the work and the way she carries it forward.
WARNslilLDREN
Marshal  Bachtel  Points  Out  Danger
of Skating On Streets.
"A child on roller skates is taking
a long chance trying to cross Main
street or the streets nearby," said
Marshal Bachtel this Wednesday
niorning. "Yesterday a little girl
darted by me and one of her skates
slipped when she was at the car
tracks. It makes me sweat when I
think how close she was to injury or
death."
Then he related several instances of
narrow escapes.   "I wish you would
ask parents, through the columns of
The Sun, to tell their children  that
it is going to be extremely dangerous
, around  the  Square  and  on  Portage
^ent  of North  Canton  over  to  the; street after school opens, and that the
officers of Junior Town, and they will*! wisest  thing  to  do  is  to leave  the
act as Mayor, Marshal and policemen.
Of course the real Mayor of North
Canton will be close at hand in the
event that any part of the proletariat
displays a disposition to "cut up."
Ditto Marshal Bachtel and his trusty
lieutenants. But it is good training
far the youngsters and impresses the
meaning of responsibility, something
.-everyone, should know ..and have if
they are going to be worth anything
in a community.
Picnic In Tent
The Weather Man frowned this
Wednesday morning and the impression prevailed around town that he-
was .going to drop a heavy shower of
rain. Evidently Mies Gladys Williams,
Junior Town leader, looked .skyward,
for a little later the sun began to
peep,- and then broke out in all its
glory. Score another one for Miss
Williams. She just smiles, and even
- the grumpy old Weather Man is compelled to-relax his features and give
her the brand of weather she wants.
Clever girl, Miss Williams, in a dozen
ways.
Well, it did not rain, and the picnic
in the tent scheduled for noon was a
howling success. Children aged 9 and
•under, took part, and in the language
they do not print in well-regulated
newspapers except within quotation
marks, "a good time was had by all."
Tomorrow   (Thursday)   morning  a
breakfast hike is on the program for
"the older boys and girls."
Atheltic Sports
A baseball tournament opened this
Wednesday morning. Captains Kenneth Oberlin and Gordon Swop? chose
their teams on Tuesday. The girls
Aave a baseball tournament, too, and |west
roller skates at home,
"The police department naturally
wants to protect children, but it is a
hard job when they rush by at great
speed. I trust parents will see the
danger and send their children te
school without roller skates," said the
marshal.

Fred* Casady In Town
Fred Casady, former executive
secretary of the Community Building,
was in North Canton on Tuesday
night and attended the chautauqua
play. He is looking in "the pink" and
said he was prospering in Indiana, he
having a chain of high-class moving
picture houses. Fred declared he was
giving a number of boys a "treat",in
the shape of, a trip over several
states. He was warmly greeted by a
number of people.
that you unconsciously acted ?   Rea(
ing*   is   thinking   another's   thought;;
after him. What you read has a great
deal to do with what you think.
Applying  the Test
What one feeds himself all the time'
will determine what he will do in tlie
spare time when he hasn't anything
to do. That is the biggest test that
can be.applied to anyone. All this is
preliminary to what is now coming,
and that is that so many people of this
community do not seem to realize
what they have in their midst, and
what it can do for them.
.. The Community Building is more
than a building. It is more tlian a
place to go, more than a place to loaf,
more than a place to play games, more
than a place to congregate or just to
hold committee meetings. It is a vital
factor in the life of the community
now, and as an influence in the years
to come.
When it is characterized as "The
Heart of North Canton" it ought to
be just that. It ought to give life. It
is dedicated to the physical, mental
and spiritual betterment of the community. What it is, is what you make
it  What do you want it to do ?
Everybody  Is Welcome
It may not be well understood that
everybody is welcome and invited to
the Community Building. Of course,
everything is not free. Even one has
to pay for such things as funeral expenses. There are some things which
are privileges of membership. The
fees charged for membership do not
pay for all the expense incurred, but
are purposely kept low so that everyone can enjoy them.
Membership in the -Community
Building is not an obligation, it is a
privilege. It is something that ought
not to require urging. In many,
many cases it is not necessary to solicit. There is an increasing number
of men and women in North Canton
who add their strength to this enterprise in this way. There is a smaller
and smaller number who take membership and then try to get out of
paying for it or refuse to pay for it
The "beater" is becoming more and
more in public disfavor.
It Is Your Building
So use your Community Building.
It is yours and will stand in the com-
muriitytifor just what you want it to
stand for. If you want it to amount
to something, get in and make it do
it. If you want to beat your community, beat your town, beat yourself, then decide that you can get
along without the Community Building and let the other fellow carry the
load and pay the bills.
I wonder if what was saftl in the
opening paragraphs of this ai*ticle
hasn't some practical application to

JIsT«LER
Famous Girl Will Be In North Can
ton* Tomorrow and Friday.
The Rev. Karl H. Beck, nephew of
the Rev. E. M. Beck, related to a numerous congregation in his uncle's
church, Zion Reformed, on Sunday
night, the story of his being kidnapped by Chinese bandits and spending
seventeen days as the guest of the
outlaws. With Mr. Beck in his captivity were two young women missionaries, and they, too, displayed a
fine spirit and much bravery during*
the trying ordeal.
No .one will accuse the Rev. Karl
H. Beck of being boastful, dramatic or
a settev-up of stage heroics; quite the
opposite. In fact at times he seems
more inclined to belittle the danger
he and his companions encountered,
and when he explains that he did not
attempt to escape because it might
endanger the lives—or perhaps something worse—of the two young women
with him his manner i.s that of a
genial young man who simply feels
that any other course would be most
reprehensible.
Seized By Bandits
Although warned that an escort of
troops was the only safe mode of
travel, the missionaries, about 1G in
number, started for their respective
stations, expecting to overtake a large
fleet of boats guarded by soldiers. But
when they reached a certain point
they were told that the fleet was far
in the lead. The Chinese boatmen
were tired and Mr. Beck assisted in
pushing his boat, with the result that
at the end he was "all in," and sat
down to rest.   He fell asleep.
A little later he was awakened and
found himself looking into a revolver.
Word had been received to take one
man and two young women prisoners
and hold them for ransom. Their
clothing was confiscated, also their
jewelry, bed clothing and everything
of value on the boats. The three captives were taken into the woods and
later up the sides of mountains where
a misstep in the dark meant certain
death hundreds of feet below.
Threatened With Death
At times Mr. Beck was threatened
with death, but he succeeded in winning the goodwill of his captors, and
his two companions kept cheerful in
spite of squalid surroundings. Several
times they went a whole day without
food or water, but they never lost
faith, and they even gave titles to
their guards, one of whom they called
Sir Walter Raleigh, because he had
attired himself in a woman's stockings
and hat. In the meantime their friends
were busy, and thanks to the pastor
of a church (a converted Chinese) and
other agencies, among them being his
brother, a missionary, and a former
Chinese bandit chief, they were released on the payment of $1,000, instead of $100,000 and a number of
machine guns as originally demanded.
It was a dramatic recital, even
though Mr. Beck did laugh heartily
at times when narrating the amusing
features. There were moments, however, when his face became serious,
and he would say, "Well, I'll pass over
this and tell you about." Then you
knew that a brave man was putting
the best looking features forward and
holding* the disagreeable ones in the
background.
His friends in North Canton were
pleased to hear his uncle say that his
nephew   had   accepted   a   charge   in
