Mr. Holladay, manager of the Mid
land Chautauqua Circuit writes
that the opening day of Chautauqua
this year will be one of the very best
of the entire week. Arthur S. Libby
speaks in the afternoon, ana Mr..
Holladay regrets that he could not
have been given place on an eve-
ming program. Mr.. Libby was an
American attache at Frankfort, Ger
many, and was in Berlin when the
war broke out He saw the Kaiser
"Draw his sword" and heard his
/ famous war speech. In addition to
that he was held in a german prison
as a suspected spy, and had a mir
aculous escape. He has wonderfu'
story, so do not miss the first after
noon program. Get season ticFa-,
and enjoy every program for the
week. Even if you cannot attend
more than five sessions, it will be
economy to buy a season ticket.
The Chautauqua meeting at the
Council Rooms last Friday evening
was not largely attended, but made
up in enthusiasm what it lacked in
numbers. The impression prevails
that the program this year is at
least equal if not superior to any
previous programs here, and also
that the sale of season tickets will
be far greater than any previous
year. In other words, early indica-
tions are that this will be the big
/ lChautauqua year for Paw Paw, The
situation so far as the guarantee is
concerned is this:-The contract calls
/ for the sale of six hundred season
tickets. There are approximately
sixty signers to this guarantee, and
in case of a deficiency, the signefs
of guarantee will have to make up
such deficiency. If every person who
desires a continuation Of the Chau-
tauqua in Paw Paw will make
little effort to stimulate the sale of
season tickets in their immediate
neighborhoods there will be no de-
fciency. Let everybody boost and
put the thing "Over the Top" this
year, and insure the chautauqua as
permanent institution in this
community. The price Of tickets
this year will be $2.25 for adults
plus the war tax making a total Of
S2.4S. This is an increase of 25 cents
over last year. II is only a trifie
as compared to the big increase in
cost of everything, and surely no
one will object to it. Children's sea-
son tickets are $1.00. There will be
no war tax on Child's ticket under
twelve years of age, but there is
tax of ten cents on children 10 tn 1 g
