1917 PROGRAMS
FOR CHAUTAU0UA
BEING PREPARED
Pastors Association Plans
Interesting Entertain
ments This Year.

Never in the eight years of the
midwinter meetings of the Bridgeport
Chautauua Assembly has a finer pro-
gram been arranged than that which
Rev. G. H. Beard, chairman of the
program committee of the Bridgeport
Pastors association, has prepared for
the eighth annual assembly to be held
at the Casino in State street, COM
mencing Monday evening, Feb. IL,
and closing Friday evening, Feb. 10.
This program calls for 13 excellent
lectures on entertainments, the lee
lures embracing a wide range of edu-
cational subjects and the entertain
ments bring to Bridgeport artists
famed the world over.
The opening attraction will be of
unusual excellence, but the final ar
rangements have not been completed,
and will be announced later. One or
two other features are also held back
pending the completion of final ar
rangements, but enough of the pro-
gram has been completed to assure
the people of Bridgeport one of the
finest series of entertainments ever
given in the city at the prices asked.
Although the program is the most
costly ever presented at the Bridge
port Chautauqua no advance in the
cost has been made. Any surplus de-
rived from the series Of entertaine
ments will be devoted to objects for
the betterment of Bridgeport.
Among the lecturers are many not
ables, including Henry r. Rose, DID,,
of Newark, N. j., a brother of Rev.
w. w. Rose, pastor of the Universal
list church; Prof. Willis L. Moore, for
many years head of the weather bu-
reau, and others. The entertainers
include the Till Family concert Com
pany, Miss Gibbons, violinist, and the
famous Lotus quartet of Boston, con-
sidered one Of the best in the coun-
try.
Following is the program so far as
completed:
Concert, Miss Gibbons, violinist.

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD

With nearly twice the acreage I'M
der cultivation on the Flathead that
there was in 1916 and the luxuriant
growth of crops owing to the recent
warm rains, as nearly as can be fore
cast at the present time, prospects
for bumper crop this season are
propitious.
Winter wheat is already fourteen
inches high and grain sown this
spring has reached a stand of from
four to six inches generally. Vege-
tables likewise are progressing
nicely and promise abundant yields.
AS result of the campaign in
augurated against the threatened
grasshopper pest, reports indicate
the poison distributed to be effective
and the insects dying in vast num-
from this source is somewhat elm
mated. The outlook for heavy crop
yields throughout the valley at the
present time is a happy one and in
the absence of unforeseen condi-
tions Flathead's crop for 1917 should
double that of any year in the val
ley's history.

WATER AND LIGHT

The decisive action of the city
council in calling a special elec-
ton for July 10Th to vote on the
issuance Of bonds to defray the
cost of a water system and the
question of granting a franchise
for an electric lighting system
promises prompt solution to a
much Discussed municipal issue.
The necessity for a water system
both for fire protection and DOM
este purposes as we'll is imper-
ative and immediate. An electric
lighting system is quite as desir-
are and necessary at this time.
Public sentiment in this COM
munuty has crystallized into an
insistent demand for these public
utilities. and the city administra-
ton has provided a solution of
the problem with forethought
and dispatch.
The advantages to accrue to
this municipality through INSTALL
alton of these public necessities
are patent and indisputable.
Excessive rates of insurance will
be materially reduced and the
attending hardships on property
owners obviated. Construction
in the business district Of the
town and the residence sections
likewise will receive an added
impetus. With a water system
provided and a system of electric
lights installed Roman throws off
the small town mantle and as
sumes the proper garb of the
snappy, modern little agricultural
city which it is. For a town of
our size and with the volume of
business which is transacted here
hesitation to extend the city's
indebtedness to the extent re-
CURED to install these necessities
is ultra-conservatism and ill-ad-
vised.
