work is very satisfactory. However,
the lights would give much better

if the city authorities and property
owners wereto cooperate and trim up
the trees to the required height. We
believe there is an ordinance some
where within the archives of the city
defining the distance from the ground
trees shall be trimmed, and if there
be such law, it ought to be enforced.

THREE BIG DAYS VET REMAIN
Big Band Scheduled for Tomorrow
viii Draw Crowd-vardaman
Comes on Sunday

DenisOn's annual chautauqua has
been in progress during the past three
days, and the different numbers thus
far have given very good satisfaction.
We doubt if all the program pleased
everyone all the while, but every part
of the program pleased part of the
WHILE We trust the attendance for
the remainder of the week will be
large, and with favorable weather,
many from a distance ought to attend
at least one of the sessions each day.
The big tent arrived on time and was
set up early Monday morning in
Washington park, and by afternoon
all was in readiness for the opening
program. The superintendent in
charge of this years chautauqua, Mr.
j. II. Wilkins, arrived early and SUI
pcrintended the work. Mr.. Wilkins
has had much experience in chautau
qua work, having been with the Vaw-
ter concern for some time. He is a
very pleasing gentleman to meet, and
will prove very popular during his
weeks stay.
We hope that satisfactory arrange
ments will be made for next years
chautauqua. When we stop to con-
slider the good things in lectures, the
variety OF high grade entertainment
and the cultured class of people it
brings to our very door, is it not true
that the chautauqua is the one great
entertaining, morally, uplifting and
educational advantages that comes to
Denison and Crawford county every
year? Is it not an inspiration and a
great opportunity, especially to the
young, but likewise the old, living in
a thriving community. TO be brought
into association and contact with the
leading men of the nation?

Germans amid such scenes as were
enacted at Przemysl and Lemberg
would come as no surprise.
