HAS MADE GOOD.

The Second Annual Green La'se
Chautauqua Assembly noy in ses-
sion has made good, as far as the
quality of it's programs and the
erection of a fine modern auditori-
UNI is concerned. Green Lake fur
nishes all that can be asked for in
natural beauty and attractiveness.
Therefore the one and only thing
necessary to make the Chautauqua
a great success is a large attend
ance.
There were several conditions
this year that initiated against a
large general attendance. not the
least Of which has been the late,
cold season. But indications now
point to much improved attend
ance during the closing days Of the
Chautauqua. The Great Northern
railway company has awakened to
the possibilities Of the assembly and
the train service during the re-
mainder of the session will be all
that can be desired.
If you have been unable to at
tend on any day of the assembly so
far, our advice is that you plan to
spend some time there before the
1908 meeting closes. ;.
The Green Lake Chautauqua is
not money making scheme. It is
not local affair designed simply
to boom the village Of Spicer. 1t
is safe to say that every dollar spent
in admissions will be used for Sc
curing talent and improving the
quality of the assembly. 1t is an
institution the continued growth of
which will be a lasting credit to
the entire county and not least to
the city of Willmar. 1t deserves
the cordial support of every loyal
citizen.

OPENING ADDRESS
Remarks Made at the Opening
of the New Auditorium Last
Wednesday Afternoon.

'We have assembled at this hour
which marks the opening Of our
Second Annual Chautauqua Assem-
bly,, and ] am sure this gathering
is good representation of the peo-
pie who do things; people who are
willing to admit that there is some
thing more in life than the cares
and responsibilities which ordinari-
ly surround us; people who are fair
" entitled to say that living is pre-
ferable to making a living. and
who enter into the spirit Of Chau-
tauqua work with the interest of
non-partisan pleasure.
''We have gathered here with
the idea that this Assembly will
afford to each Of us pleasures which
cannot be obtained in any other
manner. We come here for in
struction, combined with recrea-
tion and all Of the healthful inf1u-
ences of outdoor life
''There is no institution which is
so purely American as the Chautau-
qua. There is no institution which
has so thoroly appealed to the right
thinking American people as these
outdoor assemblies where we all
come imbued with the feeling of
freedom and independence, prompt
ed by our loyalty of thought and
action and inspired by the motives
which augur better for the future
of our great Republic and the pre-
servation If those ina|ienable rights
of citizenship which mark our pro-
gression and stimulate our national
development.
eve are apt to overlook those
things which are near to us and for
get that we owe duty to ourselves
to develop a capacity for the enjoy
ment Of those things which have
been given to US. and certainly the
least Of these is not our health,
comfort or happiness.
''This Chautauqua Assembly was
organized to promote that branch
of education and recreation COM
monty called Chautauqua Work, and
it's fundamental idea is to encourage
all things which may be essential
and necessary to right living; but
which at all times should be nom
partisan and non-sectarian in char
acter. The Board to whose man.
agement this years work has been
assigned has endeavored so far as
it's means would permit, to cover

affairs as he may see fit. Every
thing will be conducted along the

affairs as he may see fit. Every
thing will be conducted along the
lines of economy and practicability.
The management has no selfish
interests. It wants to make this
affair everybody's business and it
wants each of you to assume some
responsibility as we'll as some cred
it, realizing, of course, that the
Board will receive it's share of criti-
cism without asking for it. We
therefore solicit your loyal and
hearty support to make this Assem-
bly, worth while.
1.-The scope of influence of these
gatherings we do not expect, and
do not wish, to confne to the en-
midiate territory Of this village or
of this county. The shores of
Green Lake afford the ideal place
for outdoor life and this location
was selected as the logical site for
an Assembly which should offer its
advantages to he.people. Of. Central
