WILL Be
IN FESTIVE ATTIRE
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
UNIQUE PLANS FOR DECORATING
DURING WEEK OF
CHAUTAUQUA

This city is surely TO be in gala at
tire Chautauqua Week, according to
plans now being perfected at the Red
path Chautuaqua s,headauarters in
Chicago.
Last year i'm 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 i'm ad-
dition the streamers are much larger
that heretofore.
Three hundred small banners for
use on awnings and like are also be-
ing sent To each city
There will be general supply Of
cloth pennants for the autos In many
towns these will be used first in an
automobile booster trip around the
county
\ neat and unique pennant printed
on good paper in blue and orange
colors and bearing the words: This
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
i'm length and is ten inches wide at the
top In the foreground Is a typical
Chautauqua tent. filled with people.
The number of pennants will he linn
tied To 500 in each town. This PEN
nant is very appropriate inasmuch as
the Chautauqua is an institution which
appeals directly To the homes Of a
community.
ON the opening day of the Chautau-
qua. tags will be hung on the door
knobs of each home and also on the
harnesses of the horses on the streets.

FIRST BAND CONCERT
Of THE SEASON WAS
HELD SUNDAY P. N.
CITY SHOULD SUPPORT \ GOOD
BAND As THE COST WOULD
BE SLIGHT

Flecks band and orchestra gave
their first concert at the park last sun
day afternoon sixteen people played
in the band for the day. They gave
many new selections and showed a
marked improvement over the music
of last year. The attendance at the
concert was small on account of the
people not expecting the band 10 turn
out.
In the Banner of May %, the an
nouncement of concert TO be given
in the park the following Sunday was
made. at the request of the band boys.
The attendance at the park was large
boys did not appear. Their lnon-ap-
pearance was caused by the necessary
absence Of several of the members,
who were practicing for the COM
mencement week exercises.
Flecks band has been continually
improving and the boys show deter
mination to win even If they are oblig-
ed To pay all of their own expenses.
The band should he a city institution
with the support of the city but the
concession that has been made to
them is the use of the city hall for
practice
The expense of supporting "A band is
when the individuals i'm the band have
to pay all OF the expense it becomes a
drain upon them.

This was the first Venetian Night

Flint has been working on the trees
surrounding the residences OF Mrs. r.
NJ. Wilson, Earle Wilson and Brinton
+. Hall.
Mr.. Mcguire Is one of the expert
tree surgeons of the state and came
here more for the purpose Of demon
strating what he could do than to Sc
cure work at this time. While here
he made trip To Ionia and contracted
over one thousand dollars worth Of

a tree surgeon before him and IL was
from his father that a large part of
the sons knowledge was obtained. He
is as familiar with the growth and
functions OF the different parts of a
tree as the human surgeon is with the

A GRAND SUCCESS
N ALL PARTICULARS
SEVENTY PEOPLE ASSIST IN
STAGING THE POPULAR
OPE.RETTA

Almost every seat was filled at the
opera house last Tuesday night to
witness the old and ever favorite Eng
lish musical drama II. NJ. $. Pinafore
given by the high school chorus under
the direction of Abbie j. Williams, for
years director Of music and art i'm the
local schools.

year 1850. The principal players
were Bope Butler. as Ralph Rack
straw. of Alma Conservatory. Fred
Carter. as Captain Corcoran; Leon
Forman, as Sir Joseph Porter; Mil
dred Soules as Buttercup; Rhea Wei
te. as Hebe and Abbie Williams. as
Josephine Corcoran.
During the play Captain Corcoran
and Ralph Rackstraw were changed
in their positions by Buttercup. Rack
straw was. by rights a member of
the captains family and Buttercup. "a
girl without wealth. was i'm love with
Captain Corcoran. Josephine was in
love with Ralph "A common sailor, but
owing To her position as captains
daughter. could not show It. as her
father had promised her to Sir Joseph
Porter, ruler of~the kings navy. The
play was very beautifully worked out
with these love affairs taking AN inn
portant part in the action.
The chorus. consisting Of sixty
voices, rendered their part well thus
showing the splendid work done by
Mrs Williams.
The staging of the operetta was un
der the direction of \. Il. Winchell and
handled with rare good taste and ta-
lent Costumes were of the sailor ef-
feet. serving To throw an air of light
ness and gayety upon the scenes. Mrs.
Williams was complimented on her
ability in handling the music Of the
evening.
From all points Of view the play
was proclaimed by the crowd as the
best one that has ever been staged by
the high school. Receipts far exceed
ed the expectations of the class and i'm
every way il was deemed a success.

ANTHEM
SENIOR CLASS USHERED
IN BY FOUR JUNIORS
Factors That Make Success" the
Central Theme of Evenings
Address

The annual Baccalaureate eXer-
cises were given at the Methodist
church last Sunday night.
The house had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion with flags,
bunting and potted plants.
At the beginning OF the class march
four boys, members of the junior
class. ushered the class of seniors
into the assembly room and into the
seats that had ben fenced off by rib
bons. The ushers parted and allowed
the class to pass through between
them. to their seats.
The choir. composed of people from
all the churches, then sang an an
them, Send out Thy Light" and
this was followed by scripture read
ing by Rev Chas NJ. Pease
Following the scripture reading
Abbie j. Williams sang solo. Fear
Not. O Israel
Rev. j A. Hudnut invoked the di.
vine blessing on the class and congre-
cation and prayed for the future sue
cess of the schools and the instruc-
tors in the schools.
Rev w. +. Doty delivered the Bac.
calaureate address to the tiilled house.
He took as his theme, Factors That
Make For Success" Rev. Doty en-
tertained the view that every person
has in him the elements of success
if only he can become engaged in the
proper work He says that if a man
has failed three. four or even a dozen
times il is an evidence that he has not
Vet found the vocation to which he
is adapted. Every man, and woman,
has a place to fill in the world "A
definite work To do. that can never
be done by anyone else.
Two great central thoughts served
as the basis for the remarks of the
evening, What do'st thou work, and
Neglect not the gift that is within
thee"
To emphasize the first thought Rev.
Doty made reference to the several
examples i'm lives familiar To- every
one.

DO SPLEND|DLY
At COMMENCEMENT

At the opera house last evening, at
which time also the operetta Pima
fore was presented Miss Mary
Steere read the following very excel
lent class poem, she having been
chosen poet for the graduating class
of the local high school:
At last we stand eXpectantly,
Before the open door,
Thrown wide for the grand entrance
of
our class one nine one four.
Are we all here? Let's call the roll;
Yes. frills and frocks galore,
And smiles andsighs are mingled in
our class. one nine one four.
our minds have been developed,
But sunshine went before
And cleared the way for those who
marched
Toward year one nine one four.
Let's give cheer for teachers dear,
Their patience we adore,
without il we would not now be
The class of one nine one four.
But as we try TO realize
The breadth of Life's great lore.
We see how small the knowledge is
OF class one nine one four.
But may we look back from goal
Worthy of colors which we wore
Old rose and silver, long ago,
In class one nine one four.
And now, before we say goodbye.
Let's give grand encore,
May Heaven grant Excelsior
To class one nine one four.
Mary Il. Steere.
Miss Iva Little gave class prop
hecy which was charming. She pictur-
ed the future of the various members
Of the class in a most entertaining
way and the audience was thoroughly
delighted.
