Be EXTRA GOOD

hdlpu w. AHuSTSOu, dufd duSe rep
: resentative of the Ellison-White Chau
tauqua System is in the city making
arrangements for the Chautauqu;
which opens here next Monday eve
ming. He lis enthusiastic over tn,
!. program thtt is coming and made
the following statement:
''rhe season of business lis prov
ing to be our greatest and most sue
/ cAssful one since our business be-
gan in 1912 with AZ towns on one
circuit. Now the system has grown
until we go to more than 500 towns
in the United States and Canada. We
have made plans now to take the
ChautauQua to Australia during the
approaching winter. We have five
circuits operating in the western
part of the United States. The larg-
est of these which touches 122 towns
land cities, the seven-day circuit, is
the one which comes to Payette. Pay
cite is indeed TO be congratulated
that its citizens have the spirit to
get the same program as has such
cities as El Paso, Phoenix, Pasa-
dena, Stockton, Sacramento, Ogden,
Boise, Seattle, Portland and Tacoma.
"Our program this year IS meeting
with the hearty approval of every
community into which it goes SO
enthusiastic are the people, after Sc
ing the program that We now have
listed for next year more towns than
We have gone into already this sea
s,n. The reason for this is, that
we have a program which is made
with the one idea in mind that the
nation is at war. The program is in
line with war times because it accom-
plishes two things with marvellous
success. First, it acquaints people
with the progress, in personal way,
with the plans and problems Of the
government in the prosecution of the
war, and, second, it provides the neet
ed relaxation of the mind so essen
tial to keeping up of the spirit OF
the people flor a sincere national
service.
''The special war features of the
program which deserve attention are
lectures by Lincoln L. Writ, Dr.. c.
j. Bushnell, and Captain de Beaufort,
and the food demonstration by a
tive Of the food admins
tration. Mr. Writ, the war correspon--
dent brings us the latest news di-
rectly from the front. He went re-
Gently to Europe as a representative
of the American Red Cross to hves-
tigate conditions there so that he
might report them to Chautauqua au--
iiences. He brings a message in his
rope" which will serve to make us
lecture, with Our Armies in Eu- |
all better Americans. DR.. Bushnell
discusses, as the representative of
the Bureau of PPublic Information, !
The Meaning of the Great War.
Captain de Beaufort is an officer IN !;
tn Belgian Army. He has been IN
Germany as spy and even held an
interview with Hindenburg.
'.The entertainment features of the
program are the best We have ever
furnished. There are seven musical
companies, a different one appear
ng each day: The Old Soldier Fid-
Hers furnish program which is
stirring in its effect upon the peo-
pie. Other musical numbers !of par
high class are the Fenwick
Newell Concert Company, the Zede-
er Symphonic Quintet, and The Roy
II Hawaiian Quintet. The band. of
,ourse, draws the interest OF an
,lasses. The band which is coming

ore starting. on our circuit, in max
ng records for the Columbia Phono-
