tuo aTtlCl6 from MRS. u. NJ ALBION an
Miss Heidepriem as committee, whicl
fully explains the children's part in tn
coming Chautauqua.

| There will be but one more issue G
the CHRONICLE before the Chautauqu
convenes. 1t would not be to the credi
of Custer or this community should W
fail to make this event success iron
every standpoint.
A representative of the bureau unde
whose auspices this Chautauaua is bel,
made the statement before the loca
committee that they launched between
two and three hundred Chautauqua'
last year and out of this large numbe
there were only six that came througl
with a deficit. Let not Custer this yea
be numbered with those six.
There will be no danger in this re
spect if every one will talk and boost
and work to make this event the creates
in the history of our little city. 1t ha
been whispered that the business house
will close for the afternoon sessions
Splendid No one will be loser by 81
doing and it will give more definitsnes
and character to the occasion and show
the deep interest that our business mer
have in this enterprise.
*x*
have been thinking what a fine op
portunity this will be for the people liv
ing in the country, to take this time fol
their animal outing and bring tbei
tents and make Custer the white City
for week at least. This would be com
paratively impressive and somewhat
ideal, and no doubt, altogether enjoy
able. Let's get busy for Chautauqua.

To the Editor of Federation Notes.
Mr.. Editor:-Do the people of thi'
community know what is going to hap
pen to them after the lst of July? The
dough-head legislators at Pierre, from
across the Missouri, made law to STOP
our fishing on Sundays and any Other
days, in all the streams around here
where any fish are to be caught. Does
not the Constitution of this U. S. guar
antee to every citizen, even of the Black
Hills, the right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness,-which includes
trout, and what right have them slack
baked Legislators got to stop US catching
he trout we planted in French creek
and Iron creek and Squaw creek? We
put those fish there and have been pro-
tecting them since mInnowhood, and
then they 60 make preserve of all the
best of our fishing grounds. They are
going to build big fence around three
townships where the fish are,-the fish
that we have set out and tended, and
say that it shall be unlawful for us to
catch them. Did not we plant them SO
that when the sunny days of summer
came, We might 60 fishing of Sundays
and then them fellows over at Pierre
fence them all up and appropriate them,
and say We must not catch our own fish
Fish were made to be fshed for, not to
look at. No one wants to look at big
trout in a pool anyway, if he must moi
try to catch him; he does not improve
the scenery any, and is only an aggra'
vation if you are not allowed to try and
feed him with fly or a worm on @
hook.
Mr.. Editor, you may think I am max
ing this up, but you 60 and get one Of
them Session Laws for 1918 that they
have got at Sam Goes Office at the courl
house, and you will see that what 1 say
is right. The only comfort there is fol
US is, that the wise guys what got it off
did not make any penalty for fishing in
their precious preserve. so all they car
do to you if you do fishing against theil
orders, Is to call you naughty and give
you real hard slap on the wrist, if yor
do not promise not to do it again.
Yours truly,
BILL.
