THE COMING oHAUrAUQuA.

Two more days and the long talked
of Chautauqua will have commenced
The Standard Company are furnishing
talent that promises to be all that they
claim for it. Some of us have had the
| privilege of hearing several Of the artists
and can sincerely recommend them tc
| the public of Custer and vicinity. Among
those that we can personally vouch foI
are DR.. Gabriel Mcclure, who comes tc
us with his lecture entitled with an
Irishman Through the Great Jungles oil
Africa" on Monday evening His lee.
ture is sparkling with Irish wit aud
humor and cannot be too highly spoken
cs.
Morris G. Hindus, native of Russia
and citizen of America, will give US
some eye-openers on the international
situation. Everyone ought to take ad.
vantage of such a rare opportunity as
his lecture presents. Mr.. Hindus comes
on Tuesday night,
Then on Wednesday a lecturer who
stands alone in his class is Dr. Daniel
rox with his Philosophy of Common
Sense" DR.. Fox has a treat in store for
those who hear him.
Then there are the Fisk Jubilee sing
ers on Thursday who need no commend
alton from us and the White Hussars on
SaturJay ara worth a balf of tho Yrico Of
the season ticket. We have not named
these attractions as being superior to the
others, but because we know whereof
we speak Doubtless the others are
equally good.
1t is fitting that the public should
know that few of the progressive citi.
zens of Custer have had to make guar
antee to the Standard Company of $500
in season and coupon tickets in order to
bring such an array of talent here
Ii is rare indeed that such perform
ances can be witnessed in q town the
size of ours. Will not all the readers of
the CHRONICLE be boosters for the Chau-
tauqua and help secure the sale of the
$500 worth of season and coupon tickets.
Let us all show our publiC-spiritednes
by helping make complete success.
The Standard Company made mistake
in the price of the season tickets and
printed them fifty cents lower than we
agreed upon but we determined to run
the risk and try to make good by giving
the public the So 90 ticket for 81 so which
is the price of the season ticket. For
the ranChers the coupon ticket is good
one and can be used by any number of
members of the family until the twelve
admissions are exhausted. The tickets
must be purchased before noon on Mon
day, Remember that your town com.
mittee who will have to put up the
money will only get twenty-five per cent
of the single admissions at the gate.
You will save yourself money and
help the committee by purchasing be-
forehand a season or coupon ticket. The
Children's Chautauqua at $50 each
morning is free to all children of all ages
Send your children to enjoy themselves.

SOUTH DAKOTA '

| SOUTH DAKOTA WANTS FARMER
The Reclamation Service is co-operat'
ing with the State of South Dakota in an
effort to settle quickly approximately
| 10000 acres of excellent land, the major
portion of which is embraced in the
Belle Fourche irrigation project About
5000 acres are public land now available
| for hcmesteaders and with water ready
for immediate delivery 10 each farm
unit. The balance is state land and
| consists of 4,5OO acres Of irrigable and
5000 acres of dry land. Both public
and state lands are subdivided into units
Of about 80 acres each.
The lands OF the state include some of
the choicest tracts in the project, many
of which have been held under lease for
several years. These farms are sur
rounded by farms in a high state of cul-
tvation, with excellent roads and first
class schools already established.
On July 3lst the Department of School
and Public Lands, located at Pierre,
South Dakota, will hold public auction
sale at the court house in Belle Fourche,
at which time these farms will be open
ed to purchase The terms of sale are
favorable, one-fourth of the purchase
price in cash, the remaining three
fourths as follows One-fourth in five
years, one-fourth in ten years, and one
fourth in fifteen years, with interest at 5
per cent payable annually. The APP
praised value of these lands ranges from
$40 to $25 per acre.
Detailed information concerning the
public lands may be obtained by ad.
dressing the Project Manager, Newell,
South Dakota Full particulars con-
cerning the State Lands terms of sale,
etc. will be forwarded upon request by
Department of School and Public Lands,
Pierre, South Dakota.

fer an excellent opportunity for men of
moderate means and experience to ac-
quire home. The cost of preparing
the land for crop of wheat, flax, oats
or corn, is slight owing to the level
character of the country and the absence
of heavy growth. The Belle Fourche
Valley is located in western South Da-
kota north Of the famous Black Hills
1t is surrounded by vast areas of free
range, and is noted as one of the great
stock raising regions of the Northwest.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Sept

known, it has remained for the Sixty
third Ambulance Section OF the Amer
lean Red Cross to be the first to dis
tinguish itself by issuing a genuine
regular newspaper. The paper has
considerably less than a million-a-day
circulation but it is God-send to the
members of "Soixante Trois," which
it calls itself.
The first issue of "Soixante Trois"
is strictly handmade and Is produced
by manifolding process. Nearly all
the section comprises the editorial
staff, and about ninety percent Of this
staff has devoted itself to humorous
efforts
