The Chautauqua.

The Butler Chautauqua, season
1917, opened Friday afternoon, July
27, with the Castle Square Entertain
ers. who gave very enjoyable pro-
gram of music and readings. They
were good. Friday night they were
again the attraction with E. J. Sias,
the "Pepprimed Progress Promoter
with Punch"
With one or two exceptions the
numbers SO far have all been first
class. There have been several lee
turers of national prominence and the
musical numbers have been slightly
above the usual chautauqua enter
tainers. ..
Owing to the hot, dry weather and
to the fact that the farmers are busy
with their crops and could not spare
the time to come. the attendance was
not so large as had been anticipated.
The chautauqua will end Thursday
with Castellucci's Boston Band and
Orchestra, afternoon and night. This
is said to be one of the best attrac-
tions of the week.

Germans Raid Farms for Food.

Amsterdam, July 28.-The food
shortage is becoming so serious in
Germany that organized raids on
farms are being made. Armed
guards under government orders are
securing the country for the maraud-
ers. 1t is said many farmers are con-
niving in the raids on their own prop
erty in order to "hold out" on the
government a little food for them
selves.
Germany is going to confiscate all
the gold and diamonds in private
ownership in the empire, according
to dispatches. The government is
determined to act as appeals to the
people through the press to deliv-
er their gold and diamonds to the
state have failed. It is estimated
10000, 900 marks in gold are being
boarded. The drastic action reveals
an apparent gold shortage in Ger
many.

Agree on Day to End Dry Fight

Washington, July 26.-Leaders on
all sides of the prohibition question
drew up an agreement today to have
the Senate vote next Wednesday,
August I. on the Sheppard resolution
proposing nationwide "dry'
amendment to the constitution.
Under the terms of the agreement
the amendment will be automatically
nullified unless ratified by three
fourths of the states within six years.
This means that if the agreement
goes through and the. "wets" can
hold 10 states for the next six years,
the Nation will stay "wet" indefinite
ly. The "drys" would have to win
36 states within six years. The 2s
states are now classified as "dry."
The prohibitionists would have to
hold their present strength and gain
II more states. They believe they
can do it. Senator Sheppard, leader of
the senate "drys" said. .
