The Commercial Club Adops Plans
For Raising More Money For The
Approaching Celebration.

1t costs money to pull off first
class Aviation Exhibition such as the
people of South Mississippi will see
next week and when you add to that
a Corn and Poultry Show with pre-
miums for the best acre of Corn and
Cotton and a fifty dollar prize to the
Boys Corn Clubs and the cost of thor
oughly advertising such an enterprise
by sending out thousands Of pieces OF
Autograph and printed matter in the
systematic way it has been done by
the Commercial Club, it entails an
expense reaching several thousand
dollars and the only way to raise the
money is by subscription.
When you ask the average business
man to give his time to this work he
/ demurs of course as he is contribut-
4 ing and he thinks that is enough SO
/ the Commercial Club has decided to
raise some additional money by the
sale oftickets which will give specia
courtesies to those who buy them and
will assure them that they will not be
run over by the crowd which will be
here to see the Bird Men. 1t will be
necessary to enclose the actual Avia
ton field. which will be on the old bal
park near the cemetery. If this were
not done there would be such crowd
ing of vehicles and people whicl
would endanger the lives of hundred
of people. This enclosure will keel

UNIQUE PLAN TO INCREASE
THE ATTENDANCE

The members of the First Baptist
church hit on a most original idea to
attract larger audiences to the prayer
meeting services which is held on
Wednesday evening of each week.
Noticing that there was always
larger crowd of women present, mem
bers devised a scheme to attract the
men by telling them about the loyalty
of the women members to the prayer
services. This was three weeks ago.
The next Wednesday saw more men
than ever before at the meeting, out
numbering the women, but last We'd
nesday the ladies were again in the
majority, so tonight will witness an
other struggle for larger numbers
The contest has caused much interest
in church circles and is destined tC
accomplish much good.

The Chatauqua season is opening in
the northern territory of the Redpath-

most everywhere.
Joe Bailey Chapple, editor of the
National Magazine was out to Cedar

foundation for a Chautauqua story
soon to appear in his publication.
Ralph Parlette, editor of the Ly-
ceumite and Talent, also visited Mr.
EaWter last week to get material for
Chautauqua story.
The Ringer Sisters, of the Pugh-
Ringer Company are certainly first
class in the popular effusions they put
into their program. They are making
mighty good everywhere.
After weeks trial Of Thaviu's In
ternational Band and Grand Opera
Singers, Mr.. Vawter says that he is
convinced that this is the greatest
band he has ever booked for Chau-
tauqua.
Several applications have been re-
ceived this week at headquarters
from towns wanting to get into the
Redpath-VaWter System.
