was being actively fostered and aided
by German agents.
Best information available today was
that President Irigoyen would either
maintain neutrality or declare war. that
he would not take the middle of the

decision rests with his Interpretation OF

the question of this step directly up

CHAUTAUQUA
PROSPECTS GOOD.
Big Attendance Expected at
Sisseton Assembly

Sisseton Assembly
, If the signs point right, we are
going to have most successful
Chautauqua this summer 1t is
little early perhaps to go into de.
tails of the Chautauqua plans, and
in fact many of them are not vet
decided upon, but with the am
nouncement of the program and
the general interest which is all
ready manifest, the indications are
that the week will be not only one
of pleasure and profit, but one in
which great many people will be
immencely interested.
1t may be that you are planning
OH vacation this summer. In
that case, don look to distance
for place in which to spend the
time. You may not be halls as
comfortable in the hot weather off
visiting as right here at home with
entertainment and amusement and
all the big things of the Chautau-
qua brought right TO you.
The program is nicely varied
with features that will be of special
interest to everyone, with an
abundance of music and entertain-
ment to make the week delightful
and highly entertaining through-
out.
We are looking for good nur,-
ber of farmers in Chaptauqua
week. This is splendid time for
them to ease up bit on the work
of the summer and take few days
. to enjoy some of the good things
without which farm life becomes
tedious drudgery.
1t is expected that ths,N will be
a good attendance from all the
neighboring towns.
D As to the sale of the season tick
cts, every live business man in
town will have tickets to sell when
the time comes No one need be
troubled about finding place to
get tickets But the Committee is
not going to fool themselves by
sitting by and waiting for persons
to come in and buy tickets That's
all very wellin theory, but the way
to round them up is to go ont and
bring them i'll. So you may de.
pend OF it, someone will call on
y you within short time. And it
would be fine for you to have
your mind made up to go by that
time and have the money ready.
q The whole thing of putting on
u Chautauqua as everyone knows,
is public-spirited work and for
y that reason everyone should do
II what they can to make the work
of these public spirited citizens as
y easy as possible.
Sissetcn is known as town of
splendid churches and good schools
's and alongside of these should come
y good, strong Chautauqua appeal
>" ing to all classes of people of the
entire community. Such a Chau-
tauqua we propose making this.
In all probability all the bust
y ness men of town will have season
y tickets for sale and these among
:. them in particular: Stavig Bros,
:. Waletich & plut, Golden Rule,
=" Rexall Drug Store. Red Gross
~ Drug Store. Peterson Clothing Co.
