John Ryden, who resides near Law
renee, seems to be the champion
wheat grower in this locality. His
wheat crop this year averaged thirty
seven bushels to the acre. AS the
average wheat yield in this section
of the state is around twenty bushels
J to the acre, Mr.. Ryden's crop is in
deed exceptional.
The failure of Capt. Nielsen, the
aeroplane artist, to put in an appear
ance at the Chautauqua last Sunday
was indeed a serious disappointment
to the patrons of the Chautauqua and
the management as well. However,
the pleasant attitude of the people in
this disappointment will be rewarded
on Friday and Saturday of this week
at which time, we are pleased to an
nounce, Major Benedict will be in
Paw Paw. Mr.. Benedict is trained
aviator of vast experience and will
give exhibition and passenger flights
on these two days. This will be the
first aeroplane that has ever visited
Paw Paw and will undoubtedly be
greeted with large throng of people
The opportunity to obtain a closeup
view of one of these wonderful
machines is surely worth going miles
to behold. Remember the dates-Fri-
day and Saturday, August goth, and
30th. See adv. on page five of this
issue.
The 10th, annual Paw Paw Chau
tauqua opened on schedule time last
Saturday afternoon and it has been
a week of genuine pleasure, instruct
ion and recreation. The general
opinion prevails among the Chautau
qua patrons that the program this
year as whole, is at least the equal
of any ever presented during chau-
tauuua week. The music has been
high class, and the lectures more
than satisfactory. AS one of the
chautauqua patrons stated to the
writer, Mr.. Holiday can always be
depended upon to give the people a
first class program" 1t would be
impossible to single out any special
"high lights" among the lecturers,
as each was excellent of its kind.
With the possible exception however
of DR.. Amaurey Mars. The dramatic
description of this sneakers three
years experience in a German prison
of the nights spent in a dungeon,
while awaiting execution, during
which time his hair became as white
as snow; his thrilling escape after
drugging his two personal guards,
and killing six other prison guards,
made story of intense and dramatic
interest. The same may be said of
the music All has been good of its
class, but Ewing's overseas band
stands out in class by itself. "The
biggest little band | ever heard was
the universal comment. The vocal
selections by Miss Huntley and Ser
geant Bailey were encored again and
again. The platform manager U. G.
Lacey, made hit from the first. His
plain unassuming ways and genial
manner, his brief announcements and
close attention to details necessary
to the success of the week, all COM
bine to make in him an ideal plat
form superintendent. The sale of
season tickets has not been up to ex-
pectations, but the single admissions
have been greater than heretofore.
The program closes today. The Welsh
Ladies Choir furnish the prelude in
the afternoon, and the entire pro-
gram for the evening. DR.. Fl. V.
Adams will speak in the afternoon,
"Grapes of Gold" is the subject of
his address. He is said to have a
"mind as keen as winters mind" and
"patriotism as hot as prairie fire"
and delivery like a Kansas cy-
clone" The Welsh Ladies with the
exception of the band, are the high
