Viola has come to a close. The chau-
tauqua this year was bigger and bet
ter than usual. Bigger in tent capac-
ity, broader in the intellectual part
of the program, as it was more varied.
The promoters hav~ worked industri-
ously to make this years assembly
bigger and better than any previous
chautauqua held here, and their eff
forts have been appreciated by the
large audiences. The assembly has
been in charge of William ]. Vaught
and his assistant, E. C. Norris, both
students of the Northwestern at Evans
ton. Mr.. Vaught will enter upon his
last years studies soon, when he will
complete his school work. He has
been with the chautauqua for several
years, while this is the first time he
has been in Viola. He makes a good
superintendent and looks after the in
terest of the chautauqua first, last and
all the time. While it would be i'm
possible to select a program that
would be pleasing to everybody, yet
the program this year has come near
Sftl bOuSs n
Der of tickets were pledged to assure
the return of the chautauqua for anoth,
er year. In all 603 tickets were pledg,
ed and the people 'of Viola and vicin
| ity are to again have the pleasure to

you see l had bitten him on the
nose at the psychological moment.
The jury was convulsed with laugh
ter and brought in a verdict of &C
quittal.
"One night l crept through an open
window and bit a woman on the fore
head as she slept Tn next day she
went down to the police court and
swore out a warrant against her hus-
band, charging that he had hit her on
the head with rocking chair. He got
thirty days.
"Of what accomplishment am most
proud I'll tell you. 1t happened in
the leafy and romantic month of June
in a quiet sylvan dell. A man and a
maid, you understand. He was terri
bly, lovesick and about to propose. He
sank to his knees. oh, how can tell
you my feelings!' he cried. Just then
bit him on the ear. You COMPOUNDED
little insect! / would kill you If ]
could,'
You see, he was talking to me, too,
but the girl didn't understand it that
way. She jumped up and ran all the
way home, and wouldn't listen TO his
explanations. She married another
man last week-just for spite"
Whereat Mr.. Mosquito laughed
heartily. Then he brushed a merry
tear from his left eye, adjusted his
spectacles, and said he guessed he'd
have to be going as the season was
getting late and he wanted to accom-
plish as much as possible before the
wintry blasts put him completely GU
of business.

During Vacation.

To compensate for the abolition by
Congress of the two-year sea duty

be sent on a cruise to European
waters on the battleship Illinois.

handle men. The bulk of the first
and second classes will be divided
among the battleship of the feet in
squads of about twenty-five.
These will be required to study
radio-telepathy and all kinds of prac-
teal naval work, while assuming a
certain part of the ships routine

HAZARDOUS DUTY.
To Give NAVY Aviators Increase in Pay

The naval appropriation act APP
proved March 4, 1913, provides that
the pay and allowances for officers
of the Navy and Marine corps detail
ed by the Secretary of the Navy to
the extremely hazardous duty Of ex-
perimenting with heavier-than-air fly
ing machines shall be increased So
per centum, the increase TO be given
only to such officers as are actual
flyers of heavier than-air craft and
during the time whole detailed.
t 1t is also provided that not more
han thirty officers of the Navy and
Marine Corps combined shall be de-
tailed to aviation service at any one
time, and that no officer above the
rank IF lieutenant-commander in the
Navy or major in the Marine Corps
shall be detailed for actual flying.
The increase is we'll deserved and
is but slight re compense for the con-
slant danger to which the officers en-
gagged in thu actual work of fiyine
are exposed, danger so great that
the privilege of carrying life insur-
ance is denied them by the insurance
companies.
