 The indications are that the people of Washington and Ben. ton Counties will have plenty oi opportunities to attend Chautau- quas this year.

So many Chautauquas speak we'll for Washington and Benton Counties, and Springdale certainly has nothing but good wishes for her sister Chautau- quas. There is room for all Springdale has the only inde. pendent Chautauqua, those a, Siloam Springs, Bentonville and Fayetteville being conducted by F. w. Bartell and at Rogers by Rev. Edmonds, superintendent oi 1 the Ft. Smith Chautauqua.
