C~hautauqua Of 1917
Pronounced Sussess

The e~haataaqua has come and gone
and each day it drew a large gather
ing Of people from the city and sur.
rounding community.
II would require more space than
the average newspaper has at its
command to report the program in
detail, but suffice it to say that the
people were greatly pleased with the
array of talent and the n In
which the c~hautaHqua was conducted.
The especial disappointment was
the failure OF a large audience to
hear former Governor F. B. Willis of
Ohio. a storm coming on just as the
distinguished ohioan had began his
address.
The enthusiasm with which the en-
tire program was received is indi-
Gated by the ready responses on the
purchase Of tickets for next year. Up
to Monday evening over six hundred
tickets for next seasons program had
already been sold. so that even IL no
sales had been made in the evening
the guaranty was almost pledged
which assures the c~hautauqna again
next year.

roar will persist three years and five

and divided. The waters of the ocean
will be red of the blood, and me-

the seven stars will enter the strife
attack the bearded people in the rear
and turn fro mthe Center. The whele

but will not succomb, but remain to
the end Of time. The land in the
West will be the land Of destruction
and ruin. The land in the sea will
be smitten with its King and go down
to the lowest depths Of distress, but
the bearded people will endure long.
All nations will be dragged into the
suffering and there will be turmoil
of all nations. The victor carries a
|cross and between four cities with
four like towers the final decision will
be. There stands a o between
two lindens. Here the victor will
kneel. lift his arms and thank his

The Methodist Picnic

The Methodists of the city and Vi

The athletics formed a feature of

performances Of which was a base
ball game in which John Noodle and
Bert Fletcher distinguished them,
selves for high batting averages and
swift running. What John lacked in
fast action In his legs he made up in
the length of the stride, and what
made up in action.
1t was a day of supreme pleasure,
with ideal weather, barring a breeze
of a few knots an hour more than
was actually necessary, and all those
participating had an enjoyable occa-
sion.
When all the Methodists OF the
community get together they repre-,
sent no insignificant portion of the
population-and while they were not
all in attendance upon this picnic
they were sufficiently numerous to
make the seventeen-acre grove alive
with human activity.
Many embraced the occasion to
battle in the lake taking advantage of
the city bath house.

Miss Georgia Livingston and s.. f.

Parenthetieally it may be said that
the groom had asked Mr.. Livingston

to marry Georgia" there would be any
overtowering objections on the part
of her respectable dad. He was in

surmountable obstacles placed in the

was no use in waiting for a more pro-

brother as an escort they drove to

ing at Stony Point and the Methodist
picnic at the city lakeside park serv-
ed to draw the people away from the
city proper, but at no time, even be-
fore the exodus for the lake began,
were the usual Fourth of July noises
to be heard.
If dealers had laid in the usual
stock of racket for this occasion they
must have been markedly disappoint-
ed-although it is stated that the
stocks were much smaller than for
merly, since dealers had anticipated
a much smaller demand for this class
of goods, owing to the European war
and the general tendency to econ
omize.
If there had been unity of action to
reduce noise to the minimum it could
hardly have operated more success
fully than the Fourth of July in Wa.
tertown in 1917.

Senator Gronna'sD Doubtful Attitude

Senator Gronna of North Dakota
divides with Gum Shoe Bill Stone of
Missouri and a very few other mem
bers of the lower house the peculiar
distinction of never missing an op-
portunity to belittle the countries
witk which the United States is allied
in the effort to defeat the things that
the German kaiser stands for. Sena-
tor Gronna's latest effort in this line
was In an address in Minnesota, in
the course Of which he said: 81 am
told that Great Britain has today
more than $500, 900 trained men who
have not entered the 6ght. England
has been very liberal in permitting
the troops of her colonies to do the
main fighting. She has placed them
in the front ranks, but has held her
own soldiers back until the time shall
come when the strength of the Cen
trail powers shall have been reduced
to a minimum, and then she will ulti-
mately step in, as she has always
done, and reap the glory of a brilliant
victory"
Senator Gronna doesn't possess the
merit of being original. The same or
similar charges have been made re
peatedly by the pro-Germans ever
since the war began, and quite often
they quoted figures just as glibly as
does Senator Gronna. But the New
York Evening Post explodes the ena
tors charge quite effectively in the

We know that Canada, out of her en-

lists are by now at least a million

Wife and Children Protected.
For example, the wife OF a private
soldier with three children between

Washington, July How Canada
provides for the wives and children OF
her enlisted men is described in a re.
port by S. Herbert Wolfe Of New
York, prepared at the request of the
Secretary of Labor and Just published
by the Children's bureau of the De
partment of Labor.
In presenting the report, Miss La
throp, chief of the Children's bureau,
says:
"In the so years since the Civil war
Legislation affecting the family and its
growth. Mothers pension laws and
minimum wage laws are recognized
examples, and it is acknowledged
that their result has not been to pau
perize but distinctly to improve the
power of the family TO protect Itself,
In view of this tendency, it is to be
expected that a system of compensa-
ton for soldiers and sailors can be
developed whereby the government
will make possible for their children
the home life and parental care which
are the common need of every child"
Cities insure Soldiers.
The report points out that In Can
ada two notable elements have been
added to the government provision
for soldiers and their families: First,
insurance on the lives of soldiers is
carried by various municipalities, and
second, the dominion has undertaken
as a part Of its military system the
re-education, in a suitable occupation,
of the disabled soldier so that he can
assume again, in whole or in part,
the care of his family.

HOLMES STUDIES OUTCASTS
GIVES DRAMA REALISM

Fidelity to detail is everything in
portraying character like that OF
Teddy Brant in The Derelict't, says
Stuart Holmes, the VIM. Fox star
who plays that role. TO be able to
give just this air OF perfection to his
work, Mr.. Holmes spent two weeks
on New York's Bowery living with
men of the type he was to portray.
There Is little difficulty Of hitting
off the traits OF Teddy Brant, the
well-to-do man about town, in the
early episodes Of the film. Most per-
sons have known young men of his
type. But when Teddy's gay life
makes him human derelict, one of
those known as bum, true port
rayal lies only in knowing how such
men act.
Mr.. Holmes plays the part with
dramatic sympathy and not as a bur-
lesque.
