CHAUTAUQUA.

Kenosha, July 21-26-Six Big Days.
The committee is getting plans into
shape for what they believe promises
to be the most successful, most interest
ing and altogether the best Chautauqua
that has been known in this locality.
Of course it is little early and not all
the details have been worked out as
yet, but things are beginning to assume
their shape an dthe prospects ARE de-
cidedly favorable.
The Chautauqua hackers point out
that there are a hundred and one things
that enter into really successful Chau-
tauqua and they are working to get
these numerous things in spic-and-span
shape so nothing will stand in the way
of the big week IS success. And if you
stop one of these Chautauqua enthusi-
asts on the street any day now and
ask him how things are coming and
what IS got to be done first and foremost
in Importance, he'll say, season tickets.
He will insist that they must be sold.
That it IS the backbone of the thing.
And so the committee is going to
drive hard on the season ticket PROPOSE
ton, and feel they are safe in taking it
for granted that everything will come
but all right if the tickets are sold in
sufficient quantities to give the affair
good, solid foundation to rest on.
The program, they will tell YOU, is a
whirlwind. "A glance at the list of
attractions is convincing enough, - said
committeeman today, but closer sur
very of the list gives you doubly-
strong satisfaction in believing that it
is sure to go big and win an almost
unanimous approval on the part of the
patrons. -
The tent will be pitched as it was
last year under the elms, on the high
school grounds.
The committee is in hopes this year
that larger number will attend from
nearby towns. And they want it clear
ly understood that this ism It entirely a
Kenosha affair. They are endeavoring

affair pure and simple. They are hop
ing that folks from Somers, Pleasant
Prairie, and other neighboring towns
will consider themselves invited to Ka-
nosha Chautauqua week. Especially in
vited they mean. They want You tc
come and bring all the family and en-
joy this outing and six days of delight
full entertainment We will certainly
be disappointed if we don't see Peter
M. Anderson here from Somers; H. A.
King from Pleasant Prairie, and good
many others.
1t may be that plans will be made for
Farmers Day. These are details the
committee is working on now. "We
trust" said committeeman, "that if
Farmers Day is planned our good
friends Albert Barter, Harding Grow,
Frank Shuart, Clarence Brady, James
Torrey, and others among the farmers
will make it a point to bring in a good
crowd from the country. At any rate,
there will be many features of interest
to the farmers
Kenosha is a progressive, as well as
growing city. We have fine factories,
good sidewalks, well kept lawns, neatly
painted houses, and everything that's
needed to make a town like ours a de-
sirable place to live in. And now we
should top it off by putting our energy
and our good spirit and our fine ideals
into this Chautauqua, which in itself is
splendid commentator for any city.
Now it up to the citizens of Keposha
to step to the front, buy these season
tickets and make these six days the
red-letter days of the year."
