A BIG PROGRAM BOTH
ENTERTAINING AND
EDUCATIONAL
Plan TO SEE IT ALL
The Numbers are Varied
and of Such a Mixture
that All Will be
Pleased

Again the JOY that comes from at
tending the chautauqua is being
made tangible to the craving fol
high class entertainment and in.
struction. The chautauqua will. be
in Sisseton from June 1S to 90, in
elusive. An exceptionally fine SER
les Of numbers are ON the program
1t is but once in year that We
have the opportunity of being fav-
ored with such splendid amount
Of good entertainment as is beins
given by the White & Myers Chau-
atuqua people this year. But the
expense of the chautauqua should
be betrayed by everyone. There is
no one in the community who re-
ceives SO little benefit from such
entertainment as can conscientious
ly object to lending some aid to sus-
tanning that form Of entertainment
It is, however, no charitable affair,
for the person who attends receives
many times as much in good re-
turns as the amount of the cost. But
in order to either extend help or
receive benefit from 1t, we must at
tend the chautauQua. There will
be entertainment for the children
as we'll as the grown people Bring
the children. There will be some
thing good --esessans who AZ,
tends. You may miss the nunbcs
that. will mean several years more
of real life by attending only some
of the program. Plan to go a least
once day.
The program, as outlined below,
is the correct kind of a mixture to
suit all kinds Of people. Among
the lecturers who will appear on the
program, DIR. Homer B. Hubert will
be present and give lecture on the
far east, Japan, China and Korea
He was for % years confidential ad-
visor to the Emperor of Korea on
state and diplomatic matters. AS
this is one of the foremost economic
questions before the United States
today. everyone should hear him.

Cong. Denounced
Failure to Down
High Cost Living
President Say. solons Failed te
Even Give Question Serious
Consideration

Washington, June s. President
Wilson, in letter to Railroad
Brotherhood leaders today de-
nounced the present congress for
failing to take action to remedy the
high cost OF living.
Congress has failed "even to give
serious consideration" to the matter
Wilson said.
s'The present congress has not
only prevented the conclusion OF
peace in Europe, but has failed to
present any constructive plan Tor
dealing with the deplorable condi.
tios there, the continuance of which
can only reflect upon u.s." the presi-
dent charged.
The presidents letter was In an
swer to letter of the Brotherhood
leaders protesting against the ad-
journment of congress today with
out dealing with the high cost oi
living and industrial unrest.
Letter Follows In Full
The presidents letter follows:
81 received your telegram of June
3. You called my attention to mat
ters that 1 presented to the present
congress in a special message deliv-
cred at joint session of the two
houses on August 8, 1919. In nine
months this congress has, however
taken no important remedial action
with respect to the problem of the
cost OF living on the lines indicated
in that address or on any other
lines. Not only has the present con-
gress failed to deal directly with the
cost of living but 1t has failed even
to give serious consideration to the
urgent. appeal oft repeated by me
and by the secretary of the treasury
to revise the tax laws which in their
present form are indirectly respon.
sible in part for the high cost Of liv-
ing. The protracted delay in deal
ing with the problem Of the rail.
roads, the problem of the govern.
ment owned merchant marine and
other similar urgent matters has re-
suited in unnecessary burdens upon
the public treasury and ultimately
in legislation SO unsatisfactory that
could accept it, IL at all, only be.
cause despaired Of any better"
