HOME UNIVERSITY.
The Chautauqua Has Great Educa-
tional and Uplifting Power
Another to be Held
in 1918.

Another chapter in the history of
Chautauquas in Monroe City has
been written The committee pre-
pared a most excellent program
for 1912 and deserve congratulation
for such a program. They gave
us much music of the highest class
and many great lectures. Our peo-
pie it appears prefere more lect-
ures and amusements and less
music All the committee prepar-
ed for us was good 1t may be
that you or | did not like all the
numbers Do not blame the COM
mittee for this. Our tastes are not
all the same and it may be that the
numbers which did net please you
were just what some one else most
enjoyed. No committee could pick
program that was just exactly
the one every body would most pre-
fer. This year they gave us a very
high-clasS high price program. in
fact the price was a little too high
as it did not quite pay out. How
ever there was money left over
from last year to pay out and have
money left for next year.
For next year something like 600
season tickets were pledged. The
committee will buy a program in
accordance with the guarantee. The
more season tickets guaranteed, the
better will be the 1918 program.
Of course you are going to attend
the Chautauqua next year. Then
you owe it to yourself and the
ChautauQua to pledge for tickets
that is in case you have not done
so, The committee for next year
are very enthusiastic. They should
have your hearty cO-operatio n.
They ask suggestions from all who
pledge tickets. ChautauQuas are
good for each and every one of us
Do your part.
The officers for the 1918 Chau-
tauqua have been elected as fol-
lows:
L. M. Wood, Pres
i E, NJ. Sipple, Vice-PreS.
Roy B. Meriwether, Secy.
M. B. Proctor, Treas.
! Executive Committee: A. Jaeger
Jr., J. &. Wade, B. T. Gentges, A. S.
Jayne, Edw Spalding, c. L. Carpen-
ter, DR.. c. A. holland.
With the financial support and
hearty cooperation of our citizens
they will make the 1918 Monroe
City ChautauQua by far the best
ever held here. You want this.
Then do your duty. Pledge season
tickets if you have not done so.
