1t is not known yet whether tbs
Chautauqua for next year is as.
sured. Sixty-five stockholder;
must be secured to sell 10 tickets
at 81 each before the Chautauous
is assured. Formerly stOckholder5
were easy to secure to promote the
annual affair, but owing TO the loss
of about $500 this year it is rather
doubtful whether the Chautauqus
will continue next year.
If the Chautauqua is assured for
next year, the season ticket prices
will be reduced from 81 so to 81 fol
adult tickets and from SIPS to s.
for children's tickets.

Aledo and Mercer County
GIRLS Team IN
FIRST GAME AT
SCHOOL GROUND
Tiger Cats Win by One Score
Eyert Graham Umpires Game
Plan Track Meet Later.
Especial to The Argus.l

Aledo, Aug. 23.-As a result of
the call of the community council
for girls sports, a real ball game
was staged yesterday afternoon at
the south side school. The only
roy allowed pff the side line was
the umpire, Evert Graham, who
nobly stuck to his post, even when
the argument between the teams.
the Tiger Cats and the Laughing
Hyenas, grew the hottest. The Z
inning game ended in score of
10 to 8. in favor of the Tiger Cats.
An indoor baseball was used and
the bat was improvised from a
hToomstick, but nothing daunted
the players. Up to the fifth in
ming the Hyenas led and in the
last of the sixth the game was a
tie. In the seventh, however. the
Tiger Cats ran in two scores, while
the other nine could only make
one.
1t is the plan of the girls to be-
gin at once to prepare for a girls
track meet in which they willcom-
pete in races of various sorts. In
a relay race yesterday the victo-
rious ball team was defeated. Fol-
loving soyiI is the lineup. for yester-

IRISH COUNCIL
PLAN DRIVE FOR
MORE: MEMBERS
Sept. s fs Date Set for Big Meeting
To Have SPECIAL Enter
tainment.
fsnecial 10 The Argus.)


Aledo. Aug. 23-Plans for a
membership drive which will he put
on in the near future were dis
cussed at a meeting of the Tneo-
dore Roosevelt council of American
Association for the Recognition or
the Irish Republic, held last nigh:
at the city hall. President ID. Z.
Farr presided.
II was dc cided to divide the town
into five districts with one person
acting as captain over a squad OF
workers. In the northeast part OF
town, Mrs. Emil Bjorkmln has
charge; in the southeast part of
town. Mrs. Will Lemon; southwest
section, Miss Margaret Boul:ing-
house; northeast section, MISS
Grace Rush Business section,
Miss Mable Conway.
1t is the plan of the council to
have a public meeting on Sept. 8,
the place of the meeting to be
named later A special committee
composed of Col. E. E. Boulting-
house, Miss Mable Conway and
John Mack was appointed to plan
for the meeting. An attempt to
secure W. f. Holloway, an interna-
tional speaker on the Irish situa-
ton, will be made. Mr. Holloway
was scheduled to address the last
open meeting held here but was
unable to attend. He is considered
one of the best speakers sent out
by the association and those who
attend the meeting are assured of a
splendid talk. II is also probable
that Miss Marcelle ODonnell of
Davenport, who sang at the last
meeting of the council. may be Sc
cured TO give a program. Miss
O'Donnell has a beautiful voice
and thoroughly delighted those who
heard her at the last meeting.
