The chautauqua of 1918 is thing of
the past and the season is drawing to
close. Notwithstanding the unfavor-
able weather, the financial condition of
the country and other drawbacks, we
are not discouraged. There is a silver
lining to every cloud. For 1916 there
are some promising attractions. Les
sons leaned this year will be valuable
for the future. There is a better day
coming.

ed one Of the good old days gone by,
when band music was a part of the
