tauqua system; arrived in town to
discuss dates and other details Incl
dent to next summers chautauqua

The program states that Gov. E.
w. Hoch of Kansas will be one of
the big headliners this summer. "A
strong man from a state of strong
men," is the way Mr.. Hoch is adver-
tised. He is the man who planted
the flag of the square deal on the
outwork of that formidable monop-
oily, the Standard Oil, back in the
days when that economic problem
was up for solution. He will dis
cuss today's problems.
Rollo Mcbride, 1.-The Public De-
fender of Pittsburg," and superin-
tendent of 1.-The Parting of the Ways
Home, will be the speaker for the
second day on Making Crooked Men
Straight"
Homer c. Boblitt was sent to Rus
sia as morale officer for the Allied
governments, and later as represen-
tative for America. He will discuss
tersely,, Russia, Bolshevism, and
America"

of pep, feature of the week with
quartet singing, orchestra jazz, and

Judging from the write-ups of
John B. Ratio, impersonator, the
third night program will be 'whiz"

filled two thousand engagements

rated by that bureau as lone OF their
most consistent entertainers"
The other big feature is the
screaming comedy, 'Elixer of Youth

ly a comedy classic. this play is one
of the best cards on the entertain
ment program, according to the
Vawter people.
The dates for our chautauQua will
be June cath to June 2Sth.

STEELE COUNTY TO USE
MOTOR TRUCKS ON ROAOS

In accordance with an agreement
entered into last Friday between the
Board OF County Commissioners of
Steele County aud the State High
way Commission, four motor trucks
will be used in this county the great
er part OF this season in building
and maintaining the state and coun-
ty highways. This agreement was
reached after conference of the
board with c. A. r. Distelhorst, di-
vision engineer, who represented the
State Highway Commission at Fri
days meeting.
In the resolution under which the
trucks were secured the county
board also authorized the highway
commission to apply for Federal aid
for surfacing with gravel or other
selected material, six miles OF the
new state road which is to be built
this season across this county east
and west. The commissioners have
designated that this work will be
done on that part of the road which
passes through Sherbrooke township
beginning at the west township line.
The Highway Commission was also
authorized in the resolution to To-
cate deposits of gravel and other
surfacing for use OH the state road.
The motor trucks, which are to
be brought to this county, are from
those assigned to North Dakota by
the war department at the close of
the war. The maintenance of the
trucks, and the expense of operating
them are to be borne by the county,
and in case arrangements are made
for graveling, the county is also to
equip them with automatic hoist
dump bodies. During such time as
the trucks will not be needed for
work on the state road, the COM
missioners will designate other road
work for them.--Steele County Farm
