Better Than Ever.

Ihautauqua tlme is JOY tune Tor AL

days Is filled with fun and mcrrymak-
ing for them. II begins the night be-
fore the big Chau,auqua opens when
there will be a great play festival and
ticket hun, to which every boy and girl
in town is welcome. This evening of
merrymaking is free to all the boys
and girls, and no boy or girl is too old
or too young to take part. It's really
get-acquainted night and all the
good times for the next five days will
be planned. Everybody should be
there to learn all about the coming
pageant, the Bacon Bat and picnic.
Victory Parade Same Evening
On the same evening, the great VIC
tory parade will take place, and all
boys and girls are invited to put on
the gayest costume they can find and
turn out in fine style to show the folks
of the town what Young America can
do. The parade will march all around
town, and before il has gone very far
every grown up will wish to be child
again.
All Take Part in Victory Pageant
After this introduction to Junior
Chautauqua, every boy and girl will
want to be a member of II in order to
take part in the fun for the rest of the
week. The biggest feature is the
great victory pageant which will be
staged on the last afternoon Of the
big Chautauqua. The big folks will be
allowed to see what fun there is: for
this great thrilling drama will be pre-
sented before the grown-up audience.
The characters of the pageant are all
symbolic Of Americas greatness.
Every single one Of them, from dainty
Spirit Of America to the great, ugly
Bolshevik giant will be played by boys
and girls from this town who are
members of the Junior Chautauqua.
Come to Land Of Giants and Heroes.
These are the special features, but
the everyday events are equally as ih-
teresting. First, is the story hour
every morning when there will be a
daily feast of stories for both boys
and girls. Indian stories, adventure
stories, romances, fairy stories, all will
be included, and every one will hear
all his favorite tales. Then follows
the morning play hour for the younger
boys and girls who want the gentler,
amusing games, and one for the older
boys and girls who want new exciting
games to last until Community Chau-
tauqua comes again.
Badge of Honor for Junior
Chautauqua Members
It's going to be too much fun to
miss. To make sure that not bit of
this fun will be missed, season ticket
should be bought at once. This makes
the purchaser a member of the Junior
Chautauqua. Each member is entitled
to the blue badge of honor. This
badge of honor is given in person by
the play leader of the Junior Chautau-
qua on the opening Of the Chautauqua
and it insures five days of real fun to
the wearer.
Liven Up Vacation Days
The wholesome fun and merriment
Of the Junior Chautauqua is just what
is needed to liven up the vacation
days. 1t gives the boys and girls
plainly to do and think about the rest
Of the summer. It's healthy play, and
yet, there's serious side, too. For
the admission price of one dollar plus
war tax allows the child to attend all
the sessions Of the big Chautauqua as
well as the Junior Chautauqua.
And in addition to the five days of
play, the holder of Junior Chautau-
qua season ticket can hear all the
bands, see the Juvenile Wonders, hear
the marvellous story Of the German
Revolution by Mr.. Tillemont Thoma-
son, and all the other numbers of the
zig Chautauqu. The grown-ups will
'njoy the Chautauqua more if they
tnow that the children are also hav-
ng the time Of their lives.
