Chautauqua Here

High Class Instructive Entertain
ment Assured People of Fallon
Next Month

The dates for Fallon'S Chautau-
qua Festival have been set for No
vember 1919, inclusive, when all OF
our citizens who care to avail them
selves of the opportunity will be en-
tertained by talent provided by the
Ellison-White Chautauqua Assoeia-
ton of Portland.
These entertainments are made
possible because a group of repre-
sentative citizens of this community
have guaranteed the sale of suffiei-
ent number of tickets to warrant the
Chautauqua Association in sending
their talent here. This was done in
order to provide uplifting and in
structive entertainment of the high
est class for the people of Fallon and
vicinity.
1t is also announced, on account
of Ellison-White being reorganized
ON a non-proft basis, that they have
been exempted by the government
from payment of war tax, which
makes adults season tickets only
$3.50 each and children's or stu
dents tickets $1.00. These prices
should put the Chautauqua Festival
within the reach of every one. The
programs, which are in the hands of
the local committee, Indicate that
the numbers for the different even
ings are at least up to the standard
set during previous years.
