RECONSTRUCTION
WILL Be KEYNOTE
Outline Of Chautauqua Program
To Be Given at Willmar
June FL and II.

F. H. Oehler announces our Chau.
tauqua dates as June 81 and 27. The
Chautauqua program this year, as in
the past will be built for a purpose,
and this year it will be "Reconstruc.
tion." There will be plenty of music
and plenty of entertainment but this
thought will underlie the program.
Probably the most unusual feature
on the program this year will be Lieut..
A. j. (Andy) Nielsen, "The Flying
ParsOn" in his lecture, "Problems of
the Air" Lieut.. Nielsen previous to
the war was Methodist minister who
says that just because he happened
to be a minister he did not see any
real reason why he should let some
one else do all the fighting, so he en-.
listed in the aviation branch of the
service. He proved to be an apt pu.
pill and was soon placed in the instruc-
year in that department. He will
make the circuit in his plane and if
the weather conditions are favorable
will probably make an exhibition
flight just before his lecture on the
program. His machine will then be
placed on exhibition at the tent where
it may be examined at the close of
the lecture.
Among the other lecturers on the
program will be DR.. Lyman Powell,
former president of the Hobert Col
lege and one Of the gest known
writer's and educators of the east
He was the first man chosen by the
government to go abroad and study
the effects of the war on education.
DR.. D. D. Vaughan a man who has
seen life from all angles will be an
other interesting character. Solely
by his own efforts he rose from
newsboy on the streets Of Chicago to
a minister, occupying the pulpit of
one of the most aristocratic and in
fluential churches of his denomina.
ton in Chicago. He is a clear think
er, eloquent speaker and has been
constantly in demand for some years
past.
DR.. Jas. T. Nichols, world traveller
will likewise appear. When DR.. Mic
hols approaches any problem he views
it very much from the same angle as
as a small boy watch. He has to
get on the inside and see how it is
made. Consequently when the United
States entered the war, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he had visited Europe
many times, he Immediately secured
passports and disregarding the sub
marine menace made trip to Europe.
Not satisfied with this, he made a
second trip in the spring of 1918.
Then when the armistice was declar-
ed, he wanted to get a close up view
Of the after war conditions and made
the third trip since we entered the
war, and just recently returned home.
On the last trip he had the good for
tune Of attending the Peace Confer.
ence and hearing President Wilson,
Premiere Clemenceau, Lloyd George
and many others Of like note speak.
There will be several other speakers
of prominence on the program besides
a headline politician yet to be added
but space will not permit us to men
ton them at this time.
The musical program will be head
ed by Ewings Overseas Military Band,
a band of war veterans, not from any
one regiment but chosen for their
musical ability from all branches Of
the overseas service. The Amphion
Four, a first class male quartet head
ed by R. H. Richards, Welsh Tenor,
the Liberty Bells, a singing orchestra
composed Of seven vivacious Ameri-
can young ladies, Mathisens Concert
party headed by Christen Mathisen,
Norwegian Tenor, and Ignatius Tello,
Brazilian 1Lolinist, and the Royal
| Welsh Lady Singers, Madam Hughes
Thomas, one of the foremost musi-
clans of Wales, leader and conductor.
The purely entertainment numbers
will include The Henry, magicians with
a program chuck full of the latest in
magic and mystery, and just for var
iety, chalk talks and pictures and the
like. Then there will be Chas. R. Tag
CART, better known as the Old Country
Fiddler, or The Man From Vermont,
Mr.. Taggart is a genuine Vermonter
and brings his fiddle with him and
plays as he sings andstalks as he plays
Mr.. Taggart is we'll known Victor
artist, having made a number of rec
ords.
The above is only partial list OF
the attractions offered. The program
booklet showing the complete pro
gram with descriptive literature will
be out soon.
The Chautauqua tent will be pitch
ed on the lots where the Aldrich
tabernacle lately stood. Besides Rev
Oehler the members of the executive
committee are E. G. Wellin, G. R. c
Baker, Hildar Hoaglund, and B. Y. Nc
