the success of the venture. Hereto
fore 1t has not been thought possible
that Warsaw could support q chau-
tauqua, and all mention Of 1t has been
frowned down, but this time our peo-
pie seemed ready for 1t and In not one
instance was it abruptly turned down:
Mr.. Love said he never went any
place where the chautauqua was more
cordially received and at once, which
ausurs we'll for It's success. Warsaw
has had no public celebration since
the Fort Edwards monument was
erected, and should Iave a large at
tendance at her first chautauQua,
which 1t is hoped Will not be her last.
She will keep up her reputation for
hospitality for which she is we'll
known In the tri cities and the country
adjacent. This chautauqua is another
step upward and forward for our beau

should help voluntarily to make it a !
financial and educational success. The |
dates and location of the chautauqua |
will be announced shortly, and tickets |
will be on sale.
