CHAUTAuouA NEXT YEAR,


The 1917 Community chautauQua.
the third since the local association
was organized. has come and gone.
and although the performances were
abruptly terminated By the board of
health and the United States Circuit
court. the people Of the community
had received full value for their mon
ey. The Community ehautauqua has
been signed up for appearance here
again next season and the pledges of
support and promises Of assistance
show an increasing desire 70 make the
chautauQua q permanent Orleans in
stitution. The local association is
made I'D of over 80 of the publie-spir-
tied citizens of Orleans and surround
ing towns who have nothing to gain
except such a may come from bet
ter community. They entered into
the chautauqua task without a chance
to win financially and with 8 good
chance to lose. The united support
which has come In from the farming
sections about Orleans and from the
neighboring towns has enabled the
association TO clear nearly $500 which
is now on deposit awaiting use by
some needed charity or In some COM
munity benefit The local committee
have been handicapped this season by
Il NOkAQAAAA1QA
which they had no control and while
other communities have been cancel
ing their chautauqua contracts Or
leans went ahead and did its best,
with the result that we have had one
of the finest programs yet given here
and q financial loss of less than $25.
The 1917 season opened Thursday
afternoon with q fine concert by the
Saxaphone band. 1t was fine. In the
evening the same band gave another
fine concert followed by a splendid
lecture by DR.. Writ on conditions in
the trenches It was an eye opener
and impressed upon Us the fact that
this war is serious business. To the
more sober-ninded It was one of the
best lectures of the week.
On Friday the two concerts by the
Schubert Concert girls and the two
lectures by DR.. Poole on China were
much enjoyed and both were up to the
high standard expected.
On Saturday the Hawaiian singers
were the feature and they compared
favorably with any entertainment ev-
er given here. Their music was as
unique as that of the Swiss Yodlers
and was as pleasing to many. The
persistence with which the audiences
called them back was indeed a tribute
TO their popularity. The afternoon
lecture by Byron Piatt on 'sThe Man
Who Dies But Once" was q stirring
appeal and left a lasting impression
OF our patriotic duty. He was prob
ably the best orator who appeared
during the week. The character i'm
presentations by Mr. Bowman were
clever and entertaining and were
doubtless as pleasing as any number
in the entire program.
On Sunday the two sacred and
classical concerts by the Royal Ma
rine band drew the largest crowds of
the week and it seems to be the gem
eral opinion that this band is at least
as good as any which has appeared

here. While not as large as Vitallie's
or Victor's band and the leader not
quite as spectacular, the Royal Ma
rine band compares very favorably
with them and by many is thought to
be superior in harmony, volume and
execution.
Monday promised to furnish one of
the best programs of the day with
Wilfred, the lutte player, DR.. Cairns
lecture on sMoSsbacks and HumbugS"
and the grand opera company in the
closing concert. The lutte player was
very popular and DIR. Cairns lecture
was one of the most spicy bits heard
here for long time. He was especi-
ally witty and kept his audience In an
uproar most of the time. Many think
it the best of the series. At least it
was different. The crowd had as
sembled to hear the closing concert by
the grand opera company when word
was received that the United States
circuit court had overruled Judge
Howe and sustained the order of the
board of health and our chautauqua
was at an end. The crowd had barely
left the big tent and reached their
homes when q severe wind and rain
storm broke over the village, and
many were glad they were not in the
tent. 1t took the combined efforts
of more than % men TO keep the tent
from going into Bloomington.
Everyone had received their mon
ey's worth even though they did not
hear the grand opera. However, the
local committee desire US to state
that any season ticket holder may
procure a rebate for our failure to
give the last concert by calling at the
Central SAVINGS hank af onqn Tho
pro rata price of each entertainment
to season ticket holders is Is cents.
IF you were ticket holder you may
collect your fifteen cents.
Much credit for the complete sue
cess of the meeting is due to the local
committees who have labored un-
ceasingly. Their names have already
been published. This committee pass
the credit along to the people of what
they, too, think is fine community.

MOVING UNCLE SANS ARMY

How much railroad equipment is
required TO move an army? Some
idea OF the adequacy of the equip

may be obtained from a statement
by Lieutenant Colonel Chauneey b.

United States army, and distributed
TO the railroads OF the country by the
special committee of national defense
of the American Railway Association.

In all Of the American Red Cross
hospitals and American ambulance sta
tions In France are to be found in
genious contrivances to save the lives
and limbs Of badly manned soldiers.
One such apparatus, apparently a tan
gle of weights and pulleys and rubber
bands. holds up the legs of a patient
whose lower limbs have been broken
in three or four places by shell explO-
sion, and prevents the bones from
growing together improperly. Another,
which looks like mass of small rub
ber drain pipes suspended from a bag,
irrigates deep wounds which have be-
come infected and which must be con-
stantly drained and cleaned with an
antiseptic solution if the patients life
Is to be saved.
