| During these extraordinary times
when everybody is being called upon
for donations to the Red Cross, army,
Y. M. c. A, and many other things
which need our attention, some people
might say that such luXuries as chau-
lNauquas should be eliminated. This
view of the situation was carefully
considered by the management and it
was decided to make the chautauqua
program of patriotism. And even dur
| ing such times as these when our
| country is at war and every man and
women feels his or her patriotic OBJ
legation, we should not entirely for
phase of our life.
The entire chautauqua program is
divided into six general topics, each
being featured one day. They are as
follows: 1st, Patriotic Day; End, Good
Fellowship Day; 3rd, Childrens Day;
4th Music Day; 5th, Womens Day;
9Th, Community Day.
The big. musical feature will be the
Vested Boy Choir of 40 voices from
ST. Pauls Episcopal church OF Chicago.
This choir, under the direction of John
Allen Richa dson, includes three solo
lists; one of them Master Bradley
Davies, one of the leading solo boys
Of the west. The choir will give two
programs, the first devotional, III vest
ments and the second, popular, in uni

The many friends of the Chicago
Male Quartet will again welcome this
excellent organization back to this

The chauieuqua players is one of the,
