in Mt. Sterling next Saturday. The
nearness Of the opening date was
emphasized by the arrival Of Mr.. G.
L. Schuyler, advance manager Of the
bureau, who is cooperating with the
local committee in making this year
the most successful ever held in Mt.
Sterling.
The program this year is very ex-
cellent, and from the press reports
and commendation received by the
audiences through the country it is
the best ever presented by the bu-
reau. With the arrangements being
made by the committee the excellent
program and quipment being pro-
vided fine week Of entertainment is
promised everyone.
The committee are making deter
mined effort to put over good sale
of season tickets this year, and the
cooperation of everybody is urged.

get them redeemed at Chenault q
Orear's hardware store. Mr.. Orear

The Importance. of the chautauqua
this year is probably greater than
ever before. The county is in state
of economic unrest, and this oppor-
tunity of relaxation and hearing the
best speakers on timely topics is ap-
preciated more than ever.
The chautauqua is an American
Institution and plays large part in
the promotion of American ideals. 1t
is community benefactor and now
in the moral backwash of the Great
War, with the tremendous problems
of industry, economics politics and
morals that are thrust upon the
country for solution, it is fortunate
that such. an institution exists.
1t is here here that lectures on
vital topics are made by many great
American leaders and learned men
who have madee a life study of their
respective subjects pertaining to the
national and economics which fur
nish wholesome food for thought and
constructive action.
Among the lecturers being pre-
sented this year are such prominent
men as Montaville Flowers, noted
publicist and lecturer; DIR. Conyis,
who is one of the best authorities on
the Russian situation; DIR. Monsen
lecturer on Mexico. where he has
spent most of his time, and is fa-
miliar with the situation from actual
experience.
One of the most earnest of the lee
turers and a man intent on bringing
a real message to the people, is DIR.
Loveland, who on the afternoon OF
the sixth day, delivers an address on
s'The Perils of Democracy" No red
blooded American can afford to miss
this wonderful lecture. 81,
= In addition to the strong lecturers
presented are several musical num-
bers of unusual merit. The National
Male quartet appear on the fifth tday'

America, and their entertainment is
made interesting by Mr.. Cox, the di-
rector, who is a capital comedian.
