THE CHUATAUQUA.
Here is Hoping That it Will Enjoy a
Banner Attendance.

What we must learn is that the
Chautauqua is an educative influence
in the land, that those who consti-
tute it are men and women of ca
pacity, and that to hear them is to
add to ones store Of information and
to brush up ones ideals and ambi-
tons. The moving picture canvas
presents every form Of human de-
linque1cy as well as human virtues
and films have a mighty influence
for good or i'll on those who see
them. But as an entertainment the
| films are different than the
Chautauqua, since the latter pre-
sents only picked talent with estab-
lished reputation and the power to
appeal to those who patronize it..
This years program has many nota-
BILE names conspicuous in intellec-
tual spheres, and it would be a pity
if we failed to manifest due appre-
citation not only of them but of those
of our citizens whose public spirit
enables us to share il the feast. At
least our educational institutions,
upon which we depend for our stand
ing in the world, should be we'll rep
resented, since it is eventful in the
young life of the student to come in
contact with men and women whose
names are household words and
whose achievements in some instan-
ces have become historically note
worthy. May we not hope in the cir
cumsta1ces that this years Chautau-
qua will enjoy banner attendance?

The High School Class Play.

The graduating class Of the Decor
ali high school scored a great sue
cess with their class play This is the
Life" given at the Grand Monday
night. Not in years has a play been
given, that gave more universal sat
isfaction and those taking part have
every reason to feel proud OF 1t.
Much credit is due Supt. Fleming and
B. B. Morss for their work in pre-
pairing and rehearsing for its pre-
seltation.
The play had so many individual
stars that it is hard to comment on
all of them. Carl P. Hanson, Jr. as
Seth Skillings acted like a veteran
and contributed no end of fun to the
play. Hiram Coffeen was the vii
liam, and he played his part in a
capital manner. John Reginald Pear
son as Archibald Hetherington, of
Lunnon was not a bit slow and car
ried his part fine, as did Harold
Schlatter, the village comedian.
Marjorie Jewell as Susie Green and
Kathryn Schulze as Eliza Green, the
mother, showed they were actresses
of merit. Sylvan Christian as Andrew
Todd and Marguerite Tracy as his
daughter Elsie, showed much preci-
,;on opd avoallapf acting
Harold Meyrick, the village under
taker, although he had a gloomy JOB
contributed much mirth, as did Del
lef Anderson az Jacob Skilli1gs, a
money lender. Otto N. Glesne as
John Green presented the touches OF
a finished actor. Ashton Gregg as
Thos Van Camp, city capitalist and
Henriette Naeseth, as Mrs. Van
Camp a society leader, both looked
and acted the part and added much
to the play. Agnes Dale as LUCINDA
Crowley, the village fiirt was a
scream. Frances Hitler, Clara Olson,
Norman Hovden and Louise Curtin,
city friends Of Jim and Elsie showed
themselves to be real aristocrats on
a visit to the country. Taken all in
all the play was great, and was greet
ed by a packed house.
The commencement exercises take
place tomorrow night at the Grand.

Working Under Handicap.

The Standard Telephone Co. of
this city has been working under a
handicap for the past couple of
months, owing to a shortage of help,
having lost several of the old oper-
ators in this length of time, which
has necessitated the putting into ser
vice of less experienced operators. In
trying to give the best service posi-
bile the company has imported exper-
fenced operators from Waukon,
Caledonia and Sparta, Wis, and hope
to have the usual good service in a
