This city is to be ifT@ attire
Chautauqua Week, according To plans
now being perfected at the Redpath
Chautauqua headquarters in Chicago.
Last year in all places where Red
path Chautauquas were held, nine
pennant streamers spanned the busi-
ness streets. This year the number
will be increased to fifteen and in
addition the streamers are much lar
ger than heretofore.
Three hundred small banners for
use on awnings and the like are also
being sent to each city.
There will be a general supply of
cloth pennants for the autos. In many
towns these will be used first in an
automobile booster" trip around the
county.
A neat and unique pennant printed
on good paper in blue and orange
colors and bearing the words: "Tms
home believes in the Redpath Chau-
tauqua," will be furnished for the
windows of the homes ten days in ad.
vance of the coming of the Chautau-
qua. The pennant measures two feet
in length and is ten inches wide al
the top. In the foreground is typi.
cal Chautauqua tent, filled with
people.
The number of pennants will be
limited to 500 in each town. This
pennant is very appropriate mas.
much as the Chautauqua is an insti
tuition which appeals directly to the
homes of a community.
On the opening day of the Chau
tauqua, tags will be hung on the door
knobs of each home and also on tn,
harnesses of the horses on the streets

the value of personal property
throughout the city has been raised
vet a deficit in the total 1914 assess

counted for by the removal from the
taxable property of the Fourth ward
of S25O,0OO, which last year was as
sessed as personal and this year is
either exempt by bond purchase or
paying taxes through other channels.
The state is determined that all
property real or personal shall be
placed upon the tax rolls at its cash
value. In the work done in Alma Mr..
