CHAUTAUQUA IS A
COMMUNITY EVENT
The Big Tent is Being Erected Today
at the East End of
Broadway

Buy your Chautauqua tickets to-
day! Do not wait until the last minute.
The Chautauqua is community event
and every one should join in making
it big success. The Chautauqua that
opens here Thursday of next week is
of a much higher class than any at
traction that has been In Florida be-
fore. 1t is not being promoted by any
organization in the city but is being
brought here by a group of promi-
nent men and women, who are inter-
ested in giving the city an opportu-
nifty of hearing some excellent music,
lectures and a play which had long
run in the Gig cities. These thirty
men and women are guarantors of the
Chautauqua. The ,Chautauqua is fast
becoming a national institution, and
those who are bringing it here this
year hope that it can be made an an
nual event.
Mr.. F. Lorenzo Rimbach. of Ar
lington, Mass, who will be superin-
tendent of the Chautauqua while here,
arrived in Ocala Thursday. Mr.. Rim
bach will be in Ocala from now until
the Chautauqua closes May 10. He
has already gotten in touch with all Of
the local committees and has shown
that he will do everything that he can
to make the Chautauqua a big sue
cess. Mr.. C. B. Gale of Missouri, field
superintendent of the Chautauqua,
mas also reached here, and is, today,
erecting the big tent on the vacant
lot at the east end of Broadway, be-
tween Oklawaha and Fort King ave-
nues. Mr.. N. Earle Pinney, vice pres
ident of the Community Chautauqua,
Inc, of White Plains, N. Y, viii ar
rive in Ocala Monday to assist with
the preparations for the opening Of
| the Chautauqua season for 1920,
Ocala being the first city on the At
lantic coast circuit. Mr.. Rimbaeh and
Mr.. Gale are young college students.
They are also ex-service men and
members of the American Legion. Mr..
Rimbach is a student at the Kansas
State Agricultural College. Mr.. Gale
student at Syracuse University.
The ticket sale is gaining splendid
headway. Tickets have been placed
on sale at Gerig's Speciality Shop, the
Weihe Co. and the Court Pharmacy.
Mrs. E. A. Osborne is general chair
man of the ticket committee, and viii
have charge of the sale Of tickets IN
the business district. A campaign
will be made today to sell as many OF
the season tickets as possible. Mrs. ID.
w. Tompkins is chairman in the first
ward, Mrs. G. W. Martin In the second
ward, Mrs. z. T. Helvenston in the
third ward and Mrs. F. G. B. Weihe in
the fourth ward.
1t was originally intended TO put the
Chautauqua tent on the public library
lot but it has been decided that the
passing trains would interfere SER
iously with the music and other enter
tainments. 1t would be unfortunate
to have train rumble by with q
changing bell in the midst of musical
number or lecture. The tent is be-
ing erected, therefore, at the east end
of Broadway between Oklawaha and
Fort King avenues. This lot is CEN
trally located and has been selected
for the reason that is is away from
the railroads.

that is quite her own. For instance,
her thrilling word-painting of the sink

that is brimming over with smiles and

DEMPSEY MAKES MYSTERIOUS
 VISIT TO EAR SPECIALIST
Rumored That He May Have Been
 Injured in Fight.

Niles, Mich, Dec. 17.-Jack Demp- sey has arrived here to consult with Dr.. Frank Bonine, a noted ear spec ialist and sport expert.
 The visit of the champion was sur rounded with the greatest secrecy and every effort was made to cover his movements. The report wa scircu- lated that he was going to Benton Harbor to visit friends.
 Once before he was under treat ment of Dr. Bonine, following his fight with Willard
 Speculations was rife that Demp- sey's ear may have been injured in his fight with Bill Brennan a few days ago, but his physician was re- luctant to talk.
 Dempsey undoubtedly felt that if injury to his ear became generally known it would be regarded as a vulnerable point by his opponents.
