STANTON IS PROSPEROUS
Growth and Improvement Is Marked
in Stanton county Seat.

Stanton, Neb., July 30.-From a
staff correspondent: Stanton grows
and improves. A person who hasn't
seen Stanton in three years might
know it was the same town, but there
surely are marked changes. New sub
stantial brick buildings have replaced
shacks cement walks have gone in
where planks lay before. Trees have
attained that degree of maturity
where many of them have TO be cut
out.
Stanton is prosperous. Fine homes
adorn the streets in the residence
portion. There's something doing
down town.
Like other north Nebraska towns,
Stanton is showing a rapid and sub
stantial improvement.

CHAOIAUQI|A SATURDAY
SENATOR DOLLlVER WILL OPEN
TEN DAYS PROGRAM.
WHERE TO TAKE THE CHILDREN

'SNNN SolC 10 wv" olloN-OCdSOI
Ticket Is a Money saver-Norfolk
viii Hear Two Men Of Nation Wide
Fame-DolliVer and La Toilette.
What to do with the children?
That is one question that the Nor.
folk chautauqua has solved. And the
answer is to bring them to the chau.
tauqua.
Apart from the Auditorium tent is
another big tent. 1t Is the chldren's
play tent. 1t is far enough from the
main tent that the happy laughter of
the children will not disturb the chau.
tauqua speakers.
1t will not be all play-that time
spent in the children's tent. 1t will
be more than play. The young lady
in charge of the tent is Miss Mabel
Killing, physical director of the Des
Moines Y. w. C. A. She is college
woman and woman specially trained
for her work.
Children, old enough to play games,
but who would not be interested in
the program, can be taken to Miss
Killings department. She will teach
them children's exercises, new games,
physical culture. And they will spend
a happy hour or two.
Band Concert.
All arrangements were completed
Thursday afternoon for the evenings
band concert at chautauqua park.
Hundreds of Norfolk people were ex-
pected to take advantage of the op-
portunity to inspect the grounds.
Ticket Sale.
AS the chautauqua draws near-and
it is just a day or so away-the sale
of season tickets is showing a brisk
advance. The season ticket costs 50
and is transferable. Economy should
dictate the purchase of a season ticket
as the saving is very great And a
season ticket gives free access to the
grounds for ten days.
Program High Glass.
1t is a program of unusual merit,
this chautauQua program which opens
in Norfolk next Saturday with an. adj
dress by Senator DOlliver of Iowa. For
a balanced program the ten days
should appeal to every Norfolk citizen
and to every person within access of
Norfolk.
Two Great Men.
Chautauqua patrons will be given
an opportunity to hear two great men.
Senator Dolliver is one of the leaders
in the federal senate. He is ma
tional figure. He could have been

1t is no secret that his
friends are looking to 1912 or 1915.
Many Will Camp.
Many chautauqua visitors will camp
out There has been great demand
for tents but a few choice spots still
remain to be taken.
Norfolk merchants have been urged
to hold special sales during the chau-
tauqua.
