CHAUTAUQUANExT YEAR

Yesterday, the Chamber OF
Commerce of this city took mp the
matter Of raising the amount OF
the guarantee required by the
Redpath Chautauqua in order to
assure their return next year
The form Of contract was not al
together in accordance with the
views Of the guarantors, and after
discussing the points at issue, cor
rectiOns were made in it's condi
tlons by the insertion of new
clause, providing
That the liability of each lndl
vidual signer should be limited to
the amount of $40.
1t would also agreed that the
guarantors should get the tickets
they Obligate themselves for not
later than GO days before the op
ening date of the cbautanqua
Also, that no tickets will be sold
by the signers for less than Their
face value. The selling of tickets
for "bargain prices" or "emergen
cy sale prices" operated, a special
hardship upon our own people,
who we're generous enough to
0bligate themselves for the benefit
Of the community by the securing
of high class entertainment and
instruction for the people and
then forced to pay three or more
prices for their own tickets in or
der that some might get their
tickets at less than regular prices
The Chamber of Commerce has
made arrangements to interest the
students Of the High School Ath
letic Association IN the disposal OF
the ticket it obligated itself for
In this way the students will be
able to raise the amount needed
for their gymnasium without the
attendant risk Of-giving an enter
tainment themselves.
This last year there were S3
signers to the guarantee sale OF
$500. Messrs Lock wood, Babin,
and HeDning were the only ones
who had removed their domicllt
from this city among the signers,
and there were no deaths or fail
ures.
Mr.. E II. Burlington with his
accustomed thorOugDess and ener
gy, has taken hold Of the matter
as Secretary Of the Chamber Of
Commerce and q glance at his
subscription list inspires the be
lief that he will be easily able to
secure twice the required number
Of signers.

Everywhere they're buying flowers,
Carnations bright and gay.

This is mothers day.
How she loved old fashioned pinks
That bordered the pathway,
And roses In the dining room
When things outside we're grey.
She gave us parties when she could
And cake and candle" day,
And picnics in the parky woods,
God bless dear mothers way!
Helped us with our lessons too
When we went to school;
Later sent us out to work,
CANNED with golden rule.
She took us all to Sunday School
Taught us how to pray;
And made us tell the naked truth
That was mothers way.
Always busy, always smiling,
Glad when we were gay,
Self effacing self denying
That was mothers way.
Can you think of any one
That ever helped you more?
Try and give little back
From your bounty pour.
Write her letters sing her praises,
DO IL now today;
Tell her things you hav'nt told
Years and years away.
Is she Lying? happy you!
Be sure of her today,
Talk to her your heart uncover
Act without delay.
