"a" CIRCUIT.

"a" CIRCUIT.
The Chautauqua program this year,
rs in the past, will be built for pur-
pose and as the keynote of the pro-
gress last year was the Winning of
the War, this year it will be "Recon-
struction." There will be plenty of
music and plenty of entertainment,
but this thought will underlie the pro-
gram.
Probably the most unusual feature
on the program this year will be
Lieut.. A. ]. sandy" Nelson, "Flying
Parson," in his lecture, problems of
the Air" Lieut.. Nelson, previous to
the war, was Methodist minister,
who says that just because he hap
pened to'be minister he did not see
any real reason why he should let
some one else do all the fighting, so
he enlisted in the aviation branch of
the service. He proved to be an apt
pupil, and was soon placed in the in
struction division, and spent almost
one 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 lectures on the
program will be DIR. Lyman Powell,
former president of Hobart College,
and one of the best known writer's
and educators of the east. He was
the first man chosen by the govern
ment to go abroad and study the eff
fects of the war on education. DIR. D..
D. Vaughn, man who has seen life
from all angles, will be another inter-
esting character. Solely by his own
efforts he rose from newsboy on the
streets of Chicago to q minister, oc-
cupying the pulpit of one of the most
aristocratic and influential churches
of his denomination in Chicago. He
is clear thinker, eloquent speaker,
and has been constantly in demand
for some years past.
DIR. Jas. I. Nichols, world traveller,
will likewise appear. When DIR. Mich
OILS approaches any problem he views
it very much from the same angle as
a small boy does watch, He has to
get on the inside and see how it is
made. Consequently, when the Unit
ed States entered the war, notwith-
standing the fact that he had visited
Europe many times, he Immediately
secured passports and disregarding
the submarine menace, made trip to
Europe. Not satisfied with this, he
made a second trip in the spring of
1918. Then when the armistice was
declared, he wanted to get closeup
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 fortune of attending the Peace
Conference and hearing President
Wilson, Premier Clemenceau, Lloyd
George, and many others of like note
speak. There will be several other
speakers of prominence on the pro-
gram besides headline politician yet
to be added, but space will not per-
nit us to mention them at this time.
The musical program will be headed
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, first class male quartet, head
ed by R. H. Richards, Welsh tenor,
the Liberty Bells, singing orchestra
composed of seven vivacious Ameri-
can young ladies, Hathisen' Concert
party, headed by Christian Hathisen,
Norwegian tenor, and Ignatius Tello,
Brazilian violinist, and the Royal
Welsh Lady Singers, Madam Hughes
Thomas, one of the foremost mu-
sicians Of Wales, leader and conduct
or.
The purely entertainment numbers
will include The Henrys, magicians,
with program chuck full of the lat
est in magic and mystery, and just
for variety, chalk talk, sand pictures
and the like. Then there will be Chas
r. Taggart, 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 and talks
as he plays. Mr.. Taggart is well
known Victor artist, having made a
number of records.
The above is only a partial list OF
the attractions offered The program
booklet, showing the complete pro-
& gram with descriptive literature, will
be out soon.
