The address of Congressman Irvine
l.. Lenroot last evening was splendid.
Mr.. Lenroot spoke on Congress and
the People," and his earnest and
forceful manner impressed his listen
ers in most favorable manner. He
discussed congress in a very inter-
esting manner, and spared neither
the Democrats, now in power, nor the
Republicans in his criticism. The
Mendelssohn Sextette gave afternoon
and evening entertainments which
were greatly enjoyed.
This Evenings Program.
This evening DR.. Alva M. Reitzel
will lecture on ''The Measure of
Man." In this lecture he sets forth
many wholesome principles and high
standards and causes the people to
stop and take an inventory of them
selves and get new grip on life.
Variety of Entertainment.
The Avon Sketch club, which. ap-
peared on the afternoon program,
will again entertain this evening.
Several sketches will be produced
and program of great variety will
be given. There is a certain spon-
taneity, youthful exuberance and UNI
consciousness with which these young
people do their work that gives de-.
lightful flavor to their selections.
You may depend upon it that all they
do is artistically and correctly done.
Their southern melodies, accompanied.
by banjo, are always received with
great enthusiasm. Their JapaneSas
and French sketches and their Irish
take-offs, as we'll as the tmttatsonl efsi
the militant suffragette, combine 70;
produce the most pleasing sensation
in any we'll regulated audience.

A Community Developer.
G. H. Plattenburg is coming to the
chautauQua on a special mission to
this community. In fact, Mr.. Plat
tenburg is called "The Community
Development Lecturer" Ever since
he conceived this idea he has been
working at it, and he certainly has
developed most interesting treatise
on how the town and country people
can and should work together for the
upbuilding Of the community.
It is the confident belief of the
management that this lecture will
be worth the entire cost of a season
ticket, and it is to be hoped that
every man in the community who has
any vital interests at stake will take
the time from his business to hear
Plattenburg.
His Wide Experience.

lectures from Maine to California.
In many cases, the managing commit.
tees have had his addresses printed
and scattered broadcast throughout
their communities.

of the course is the Boucher Grand
Opera company. They will devote the
major portion of their program to
singing "The Bohemian Girl" This
is delightful piece Of musical fancy
