by bringing down the house som"
more.
Chautauqua closed to the strains Of
selections from The Mikado, and the
big crowd streamed out of the tent
homeward bound after one of the most
successful Chautauquas in the history
of the city. The last number of the
program was barely finished before
the Chautauqua crew began to pack
the tent and property for the next
stand. The tent goes to Audubon for
it's next exhibition and the rest Of the
property is now on it's way to Harlan.
The "ChautauQua Crew."
Much of the success Of Chautau-
qua depends upon the "Chautauqua
crew." This year the superintendent
has been Prof. T. B. Mouer, superin-
tcndent of schools at Granite Falls,
Mimi. To his efficient platform man
agement is due the smooth running )f
the program. He has charge OF the
crew and is the local representative
of the Cedar Rapids Office of the Red
path-Vawter system. The cashier thrs
year has been A. r. Hammond, who is
sophomore in Coe College, Cedar
Rapids. The property man was Nels
Guam of Jewell College. Mr.. Guam
Joins the colors this month. The gate
man was Paul L. Rockhold of Linevillc
high school. OF the crew was John e..
Blanchard, junior in the Medical
School of the University Of Mime
sofa. He has been drafted into the
Student Medical Corps. James G..
Harding, high school graduate, was
property man. Miss Ada Golden, the
popular superintendent of children's
supervised play, has been primary
supervisor in the Cedar Rapids
school for the past ten years.
Chautauquas are conducted this
year under special and peculiar diff
culties on account of the operation OF
the draft. A service flag hung in the
tent showed Sc stars, but it needs now
to be revised SO as to bear near $50
stars Three is a continued drift of
men into the national service and va
cancies have constantly to be filled.
Two young men from Webster City
have gone with the Chautauqua upon
it's journey-Hilmar Christopherson
and James Young, and it is likely that
others from here may follow.
