KAFFIR CONCERT TO
CLOSE CHAUTAUQUA

With concert by the Kaffir Boy
o. the week, Lynden's Chautauqua
will close this evening. For seven
days, the bulging brown tent has
given the people of the district the
best series of lectures. concerts and
other features that this city has
known, with the result that 1t Is
now practically assured that Lyn-
den will be on the Chastauqua map
again in 1917.
By noon on Friday. opening day
OF the Chautauqua, the local CON-
mittee had disposed of the fifteen
hundred dollars worth of tickets re-
CURED by their contract. and be-
fore the day WAS over and all the
returns wore, in. the total had
mounted to s1.700. The price of
the season tickets was promptly
advanced to $500.
The Lynden record is especially
pleasing when compared with the
showing made at Bellingham. where
on opening day the guarantors
found themselves $500 short of the
required amount.
The largest crowds or the week
were present Monday. Band Day,
and Tuesday evening. when the
wonderful moving pictures OF Sir
Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expe-
dition we've shown. About nine
hundred people made up the record
audience. That the Chautauqua
had drawn people 10 Lynden from
wide area Was illustrated Monday
evening, when a report from the
audience showed visitors from all
sections of The county. and from
points as far East as New York
City.
A contract for next year similar
to the one in force this season has
been drawn up, and was signed by
sixty citizens Monday evening. Sew
eral others have signed since That
time. The contract is at the Lyn-
den State Bank.
Before turning the contract over
u the Ellison-White Company, The
1917 Chautauqua and the contract
will be discussed at a meeting Of
guarantors Friday morning at 10
o'clock at the City Hall.
Lynden's first experience with
Chautauqua was made the more
pleasant by the excellent staff that
has represented the Ellison White
Company in this city. Miss Ora
Harkness as advance agent and DR..
Robert Sutcliffe, superintendent,
did everything in their power to
make the week a thorough success
from all standpoints. and the Wish
has been expressed generally that
they might return next year. Dr.
Sutcliffe's addresses, tucked away
on the morning programs, proved q

Opportunity In Syria.

From the comparatively few letters
that pass the rigid censorship of the
Turkish government, the Presbyterian
board In the United States learns that
the work of the Syria mission is going
on as usual. The boys schools have
not as large attendance as In ordinary
years, owing to the fact that so many
homes have suffered financial losses.
The girls school, however, at Beirut,
has more applicants than 1t can take
care of. This is because of the fact
that the schools carried on by mis-
sionaries of other nationalities, such
as the French and English, have been
closed and the missionaries sent away.
Their pupils have consequently
knocked and not in vain at the door
of the American Girls school in Bel
rut.

doing more good by blazing the path

Where Aristocrats Shine.

Your aristocrat is doubtless often a

him as cumberer of the earth. Yet
it must be said for him that worthless
as he may be in peace, and contrary
as his claims of superiority may be
to all proper principles of natural
equality, he rarely, almost never fails
to give good account of himself when
his country needs him in great crisis.

bility of France showed the world that
they knew how to die If they did not
know how to live. And the casualty

democracy, American sympathizers
with the allies, in view of the promi-
nence of titled names on the honor
