Chautauqua

The Chatauqua last week pro-
vided entertainment for a good
sized audience at every program,
People came from other towns
and long distance in the country
to attend. The guaranteed sales
were so small on season tickets
that the guarantors were stuck
for the entire amount they sub
scribed and the organization re-
sorted to the method of getting
pledges for the purchase of the
tickets for next year. The full
amount was not quite pledgd on
the last night but nearly so and
we will learn later whether we
will have chautauqua next year.
Some of the talent was fully up
to the standard of the larger
Chautauqua while some was not
quite so good. Mr.. Gneeson the
young Russian lecturer was fine
and the Swiss Yodler were high
class artist whom all could ap-
preciate and enjoy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott the entertainers on the last
day we're among the cleverest.
Should conditions warrant it.
we have no doubt the -Chautaa-
qua may be guaranteed for next
year but the war and the drought
and several other things leave a.
guess at the future somewhat Of
a gamble and people prefer to
save ther money and credit for
the bigger necessities for the
present.
Our opinoin is that a Lyceum
cours which would gave US a good
entertainment of similar kind
once month thruout the year
would be a more practical method
as a whole week of a show twice
a day gets tirsome while one at
a time would meet a real need
Of the town and community.
That is only a private opinion
and don't go if opposition develop

ON THE WAY TO WAR

By TRUE ALEXANDER, former
Roy boy, enlisted April 18th, and now
IN France.
Boys did youever stop and wonder
What a great world this would
be
When the Yankees whip the Kais-
er
And set the whole world free.
Then the war would end tomor-
row
And no German Flag would
float
And our boys could come home
safely
On the good old battle boat.
There would be no airplanes fight
ing
In the blue above our heads
But brough home and remodeled-
Fer passengers instead.
Then the war guns and cannon
Conld be safely stacked away
And kept for old-time relics
Of the glorious freedom day.
Then your mothers, sisters, bro
theirs
Will be waiting at the door
There to meet you and to greet
you
On returning from the war.
There's another one still waiting
With heart SO kind and true
She is waiting for a loved one
And that one - may be you.

Where it Rained

We were treated to a drive out
into the country north Sun day
thru the kindness of Mr.. and
Mrs. Abernathy. We drove into
the rain belt to see what it had
done. Not that we doubted the
word of those who had rain but
1T is fine to see.
For eight miles north it is dry
as here, then the grass gets
greener and crops begin to show
up. At Jess Larue's it begind to
look really good and for some
miles north it is simple fine with
prospects for beans and feed
crops as good as we ever saw.
Coming back by the Brand
School it was fine as far as S. f..
Davis, farm. To the north of the
house nice and green to the
south dry enough to start a
prairie fire al. the way to town.

fell. He was gathered up and

In my home across the sea
And the loved once left behind

Who are waiting there for me.
In the darkness of the barracks
In spirit | am there
Kneeling there beside my mother
AS her head is bowed in pray'r
Still dreaming in my slumbers
Now the children round me
play
And I'm tellidg my adventures
In a happy carefree way.
Little Bertha seems so happy
To have me back again,
la her Imagination
I'm the greatest of all men.
And she looks at me with won

That we overlook the Germans
And licked them in the fight;
And mother now is smiling
AS | tell her what we ate
She knows there II be no kicking

Whatever's on the plate.
Now father fills his long stem
med pipe
And contentedly he smokes
Oh what happiness it is to me
To be back among my folks,
What joy to hear them laughing
in the voices clear and sweet
That sent me away with sthe
promise
To come back without defeat.
But. alasl I've been but dreaming
OF a day | may never see
The day of the battles ending
When home with the folks I'll
be,
God shorten these weary hours
The days of blood and strife
That each may go back to his
mother
His sweetheart or his wife.

Write a letter to a soldier
When you haven't much to do,
T, will brace someIhomesick fellow
Who is feeling pretty blue
Oh our boys are lion-hearted
And they'll whip their weight
in snakes
But they have their lonesome
moments
When their hearts are full of
aches.
There are hours when they are
: longing
For their homes so far away,
And the girls they left behind
them
And the parents old and gray,
And a letter, full of Sunshine
Makes their melancholy shrink
Thererefore get your pen in
action
With a demijohn Of ink.
Write a letter to a soldier
Full of cheerfulness and JOY,
Let the "Sob-Stuff" go to thun-
der
1t wont help a lonesome boy;
Tell the soldier your eIe betting
He will make tho Teuton fly,
Tell him all is hunky-dory
And the goose is hanging high
Tell him all. his friends are
banking
On the big things he'll achieve
Let him know he's not forgotten
Since he took his final leave;
Write a letter to a soldier
Ere you go to bed toninght,
Slme poor chap is tired Of
~ waiting
For the letter you won't write.
1t will take you fifteen minutes
Such a letter to compose
And you'll hearten up a soldier
Who is billed to face the foes;
Make it bright and brave and
breezy,
Full Of courage, smiles and snap
Show the confidence your feeling
In thi. outcome of the sdrap.
And some soldier boy will bless
you
AS he takes his little gun
And prepares to shoot the gizzard
From the lewd, immoral Hum.
