AUDUBON CHAUTAUQUA
IS NEAR AT HAND
viii Begin July "a, Only One Week
From Next Monday. Time
To Secure Tickets.

The Audubon Chautauqua is near at
hand. Only eleven days more until il
begins. One week from next Monday
the big tent will be erected and the
program will open. Then Audubon
will have rare treat for seven full
days. The program is good one. At
Cedar Rapids the papers are full OF
good things about the different numbers.
With but little change Audubon will
have the same program. Let us give it
our presence and hearty support. This
IS the 9TH year for the Audubon Chau-
tauqua. And it will be the last unless
the people give it better financial sup
port. For two years at least the
management have lost money here.
During the four years it has made
them no money. But they promised to
run five years and are keeping their
word. When they came here they We're
just beginning. Then they were seek
ing places to put on the Chautauqua.
Now they have all they can handle.
Other and larger towns are seeking
their help. Many places that have
tried and failed are invoking their aid
to run Chautauqua Towns that do
not boost and pay are being dropped.
Had it not been that number of b,isi-
ness men guaranteed 800 tickets they
would not have returned this year.
Now what should be done! What
can be done? The first thing is to buy
the tickets. Don't wait until they ask
you, but you go around and ask them
for the tickets. There is no more reason
why these business men should do
this than others in the community.
The fact is all should help. We invited
a man the other day to take some tickets,
and he replied there were some things
last year he didn't endorse and there
fore he wouldn't buy any this year.
just because the program wasn't all
narrow enough to fit between his eyes
he would have nothing to do with it.
Another man worth many thousand
dollars, said that he probably couldn't
attend all the time. Therefore he
wouldn't buy ticket for 81. so but pay
when he should go. Instead of buying
several tickets and helping to boost the
Chautauqua, his notion was to save. a
quarter. Now the thing to do is for
everybody to help Here are 800 tickets
which the business men and women of
Audubon have guaranteed and for
which they must put up 81, 200 in order
to assure a Chautauqua. Now let every
body who is able to do it buy tickets.
Attend all the time if possible If you
cannot do that attend part of the time.
But buy season tickets even if you attend
but a few times. Season tickets at
the gate will cost $500. Now they
cost $3.50.

w. n. De Bra of Cameron. Missouri,
the balloon man of the Chautauqua
system who was in town, Monday,
created quite q sensation among the
small boys by giving them scout" caps
and sending up paper balloons. But
one Of them caught fire and dropping
into j. H. Maharg's pasture set the fence
on fire. When Maharg found the boys
fighting the fire he berated them soundly
for sending up q balloon in such dry
time. But when the matter was ex-
planned he commended the boys and
said it was his treat. Not having any
other weapon to fight the fire, Pete
Dennis promptly skinned off his shirt
and used 1t for the purpose. A boy
who can think and act like that in an
emergency win some day get to the
front.

THE JAPS ARE COMING
ON SATURDAY JULY 70
The Largest Troupe OF Japanese
Performers in the World Com
ing With the Robinson
Show

The Oturi troupe of Japanese, con.
sisting of ten people, men, women and
children, are with the Yankee Robin
son Shows which exhibit in Audubon,
July 80. These Jap children are the
smallest performers the Oriental coun-
try has ever given to the shows of
this country. They are without ques-
ton the most wonderful athletes the
Japanese have ever produced. The
children arrived in this country the
first of March and although having
been here but a short time, they have
mastered few of the words of the
English language. The little boys and
girls will receive the small children
who attend the circus and talk to them
in the best way they can of their
native land. Their performance is one
of the sensations of the age and their
wardrobe is the grandest ever conceived
in Japan.

The Botna Auto Road.

Shenandoah autoists are advocating a
road from Hamburg to Carroll and
from the spirit that they are using to
get it there Is no doubt but what before
many days dragged road will be one
of the other good things that is to be
found along the famous Nishna Valley.
The plan is to follow the river as much
as possible and keep ON the level. This
would make one of the best roads in the
state and we hope to see it established.

LOST BOYS FOUND
At TER SALLY INTO
BIG VIDE WORLD
Daley and Keister Lads Lo-
Gated While Sleeping on
Door Stoop.

What probably are the two happiest
youngsters in the city Of Washington,
and as well, the two happiest families
are to be found in Tenth street north
west. Byron Daley, aged seven, and
William keister, eight years old, are the
boys, and their happines and that OF
their parents, lies in the fact that they
have returned home after many ad-
ventures in the wide, wide and strange
old world, into which the lads sailed
forth.
1t all began when Bryon's father took
the two little lads to a baseball game
at Seventh and Park road yesterday
afternoon. After the game he gave
each Of them several pennies for hickey
pokey,'' and told them to hurry home
before It became dark. 1t was not until
early this morning, however. that the
two boys again saw 1886 and s545 Tenth
street, where they live, and 1t was
through the kindness of a big police
man that they did get home.
Just what happened after they were
left consuming ice cream cones near
the ball park and up to the time that
their anxious parents again saw them is
a mystery for neither little lad could
around" they said today. About )
o'clock this morning the Tenth precinct
police were notified to search for them,
and shortly afterward they were found
curled upon a door stoop.
