Bemidji never had a chautauqua
program of the merit of the one
which opens today for season of
five days, and while the sale OF: tick
cts has been generous there should
be many more, and Bemidji cannot
afford to allow her annual chautau-
qua to deteriorate. The guarantors
of the chautauqua have earnestly en-
deavored to provide Bemidji with one
of the best repertoires of the cele-
brated Vawter Chautauqua System
and they are justly entitled to CO.
operation on the part of the general
public.
The management has generously
allowed the local guarantors of the

which tickets for the season can be
secured for 81. After today the
