CHAUTAUQUA AT
FAIRFIELD SUCCESS

Fairfield, Aug 16. The thirteenth
annual chautauqua assembly opened
Tuesday afternoon under the most fav-
orable auspices and the patrons do not
mean to allow the usual hoodoo on the
number thirteen to keep them from
attending the assembly and assisting
in making it a success.
An audience of between six and
seven hundred people were present at
the opening program Tuesday after
noon and the number had increased
materially in the evening.
DR.. Carolyn E. Giesel, an eminent
scientist and philanthropist gave the
opening lecture and her subject was
Euthenics or Environment. She Is a
decidedly interesting and pleasing
speaker and was frequently compelled
to stop speaking while her audiences
applauded. Dr. Giesel was an active
member of the famous Flying Squad
ron which waged battle for national
prohibition Her address was plea
for better conditions for working
mothers and better morals on the part
of the fathers so that first class boys
and girls can be reared under the
Stars and Stripes.
tet, which so we'll pleased Fairfield
people last year are here for three
days, giving their closing entertain
ment Thursday evening. They gave
half hour concert Tuesday afternoon
which was greatly enjoyed by the audi
ence. ( r..E. i 1
A most unusual feature of the as
sembly was the large number of chill
dren who wee on the play ground for
the first entertainment. Prof. J. p.
Gilbert, the naturalist has charge OF
the children's hour and has planned to
tell them of some of the wonderfully
interesting stories of animal and plant
life during the assembly. The children
proved conclusively that they were en-
tertained and interested by the many
questions fired rapidly at Prof. Gilbert
at this first session. ss&5@s2
The Unkirch Boys band, one Of the
two excellent local bands has been en-
ployed during the session to give the
open air concerts each evening at $3.50
o'clock at the park and the first OF
these was greatly enjoyed by a large
audience. ea &H.
The full concert by the Boston SYM
phony Sextet Tuesday evening was
rare treat and the various members
were repeatedly encored.
So far as is known at the present
time there are no changes or cancel
lations in the ten days program. The
bible study hour for the assembly will
be in charge of Dr. John A. Seibert
and on Friday morning he will lecture
on his trip from Gibraltar to Constant
inople.
Large numbers Of people are tenting
on the grounds and camping condi-
tons there are ideal.

CRESTON MAN is
GIVEN PROMOTION

Creston, Aug. 16.-John Pfeiffer,
born and reared in this community and
an employe of the G. B. & @. road at
this place for many years, has been
given another marked promotion, this
time being sent to Chicago to become
master mechanic. The change took ef-
feet just recently and Mr. Pfeiffer is
now engaged in his new work.
Johnny Pfeifter began his railroad
career as a call boy for the Burlington
at this place. He worked in various
capacities when boy and went rap
idly up, and he has now by his close
attention to duty and his ability been
elevated to one of the highest posts
in his department. He is recognized
as one of the best railroad men in the
mechanical department Of the great
Burlington system and will doubtless
before many years go to the very top.
He went from round house foreman in
Creston to trainmaster and master me-
chanic few years ago. At that time
his scores of friends here predicted
a rapid rise for him and all will be
greatly pleased to learn of his most
recent promotion and will wish him
continued success.
