CHAUTAUQUA
PLANS COMPLETE
Dow City Makes Arrangements fol
Best Chautauqua Ever Held
at This Place.
DATES, JUNE 9th TO JULY 3d..
Seven Big Days to be Devoted to Pleas
ure, = Jeffers.Wicks Company
Is Again Secured.

We are pleased to announce that
the arrangements have been made for
our chautauqua Those who have had
the affair in hand have consumed some
time and considerable thought in max
ing up the selection of the program
and we believe that it will equal, if
our neighboring towns, which is put
on by other chautauqua systems. The
Jeffers-Wicks company conducted our
chautauqua last year-our first one
and of course those who had not here
tofore attended other chautauquas
pronounced it very fine, and those who
had attended similar events at Deni-
son, Dunlap, Woodbine and various
other places said it equalled other
systems. The only thing about it that
did not suit was that it was only of
four days duration. This year seven
whole big days will be taken up and
the best thing about it is that the
price of season tickets will remain un-
changed. The program will be made
up of the following: Clarence w. Was
san, Phi. D., lecturer, appears twice
with the subjects, "The Boy Problem"
and "The Stuff That Wins" Frank
G. Travers, the most popular number
on last years program, gives 1.-THE
Liberator" and Life of Napoleon Bon
aparte." This last named lecture will
take the form OF an impersonatiOn and
Mr.. Travers appears in full panoply
1t may be of interest to mention that
the speaker is exactly the same
height, weighs within three pounds of
II
one hundred years later than his fam
Gus subject. Edgar Martin Evans,
lecturer, has made a special study
of social condition and needs in the
police courts of Kansas City, Chicago,
Minneapolis and other large cities, and
his message will cause his listeners
to stop and listen-and listen too
think-thinking to act. His SUBJECTS
are: '"The Dawn of Tomorrow" and
"When God Did His Best" Truman
Joseph Spencer will surely please all
lovers of Shakespeare, for his sub
jects deal with this great author
whose characteristics are magnificent
" portrayed. The sixth day is wo-
mans day and Mrs. Lila G. English
will give a lecture for ladies only on
the subject of health and beauty talks.
In the evening she lectures on her
work among "The Boys Behind the
Bars" Miss Dorothy English also ap-
pears as whistler. Miss Laura
kramer, reader and impersonator, ap-
pears twice. She is said to be an
adept in her line and will be sure to
please. The last of the lectures is
Franklin Menges, Phi. D. He has been
a student of the soil and his talks are
upon this great subject which is 50
near to the hearts of us who dwell
in the great agricultural section OF
our broad land. Every farmer needs
to be present on the day he appears.
In the line of music we have the best.
Shaw's Boy Scout orchestra and quar-
tet will delight every one. They will
also give a demonstration of the Boy
Scout work Plan for all the young
folks to see this. The Adams-Dar-
nell combination are musical and dra-
matte entertainers. They give solos,
duets, trios, introducing a number OF
different musical instruments. Comic
songs, humorous and serious, read
ings, comedy sketches in costume are
their offerings. Miss Esther Fallen,
the pianist who appeared last year, is
with the company again this year and
has a ladies' orchestra of six pieces.
They offer classical as we'll as pop,l-
lar music. This will be favorite
without a doubt. Tolomeos Royal
Italian band is their greatest Offering
