Wind-up Is Now On

The Chautauqua committee Is bend
ing every effort to place enough sea-
son tickets to pay the cost Of the
course, which is $3.50. 1t is now
within about SITS of this amount.
Besides the cost of the five days at
fractions there are local expenses to
the amount of about SIPS. In order
to pay out there must be sold. be-
tween now and Saturday morning,
about $500 worth of tickets.
The Chautauqua is not money
making scheme for every business
man who subscribed to the course
did so knowing that in all probability
he would have to "dig up" something
in cash to meet the cost. 1t is hoped
however that the amount will be
small, but it was the desire that a
good line of attractions should be
brought here and place this commun-
ity on a par with other live towns.
Those who have not taken tickets
will be aiding the community by buy
ing. 1t would be impossible to run
Chautauqua ticket sales up to- a point
where 1t would be financially profit
able. For instance, II it went $500
over the expense it wouldn't be a
drop in the bucket for bunch of
forty men to divide, and especially
when some of them have worked no
less than five solid days on it. Many
OF the committeeman have neglected
their business-just left it to run it
self-while they were out working
to give the county a line of attrac-
tions worth while. They have been
rewarded by good response from
a large per cent of the people here,
at Sugar City, Olney Springs and the
districts between. But there are few
tickets yet to be sold and the few
who have not bought will be confer
ring a favor If they will phone for
tickets.
You'll get your moneys worth!

Consistency a Jewel


For many years the Government
printing office has been and is now
running a merry race with the job
printers OF the United States in the
printing of envelopes-and the print.
srs merely grin and bear it. Note
the difference. however, when Big
Business assails Uncle Sam for dar-
ing to operate a Government NUM-
tions plant:
Some people say the very fact that
the Bethlehem Steel Co. is SO aggres-
sively fighting the proposal to build
a Government armor plant is con-
elusive proof that the company is
seeking to secure for itself the vast
profits" derived from private manu-
facture.
The reason we oppose Govern
ment plant is very simple. 1t is this:
Even tho there is but little profit in
making OF armor. we have invested
over $7,0O0.OO0 in our armor, plant; !,
that plant is useless for any other
purpose: II Government plant is
built the usefulness of our plant is de-
stroyed. 1t would be good business
for us to make armnr for the Govern
ment at any price oyer and above the
cost of production.
We do not seek big profits; our
purpose is very frankly to save our
armor plant. Bethlehem Steel COM
pany.
In spirit of fairness, did the Beth
lehem outfit ever hear of the printers
making yell thruout America that
their entire investment was being
sacrificed?" Now take your medicine,
Chas. NJ. Schwab and others, and see
how you like 1t. America favors a
Government munitions factory-the

notwithstanding.-Holly Chieftain.

THE LOVE OF BEAUTY.
Can No instructor Plant II In the

To THE EDITOR ~ THE SUN--Sir. The
trouble with most NJ the people who go
to museums Ia not that they haven't had
enough lectures TO tmpress'' them with
the magnificence OF this picture or the
vast size of some other. but that they
have had too many and are endowed
with too little appreciation OF beauty.
The love Al art must come from
within. and when you once feel It no
one need tell YOU how to use a museum
any more than lie need lecture to you
on how TO admire the supernal beauty
~ nature as she puts on her fresh
fringes OF life or how To love the di-
vine rhythm OF poetry through lectures
