PREMIER PROGRAM BRINGS
BEST ENTERTAINMENT
TO CAMERON

The 1921 Chautauqua opened in
Cameron Sunday, the weather be-
ing ideal and the attendance larger
than usual on the first day. Crowds
gathered at the City Park where
the big tent is pitched, sometime
before the opening hour, and every
thing bespoke a successful season.
Vierra's Original Hawaiians en-
joyed the distinction of opening the
season, and did it in a manner that
won popular esteem and apprecia-
ton. Much favorable had been said
and written in behalf of this combi-
nation prior to its advent and was
the general verdict that the perfor-
nance more than justified all the
good things uttered. Critics pro-
nounced the company as the first
real Hawaiian company with real
Hawaiian music it had ever been
their pleasure to listen to. Albert S.
Vierra played up to the reputation
that preceded him as being a great
ballard singer, while the charming
Mrs. Vierra was heard to great adj
vantage. A wizard in his craft, Mr..
Fern practically made his guitar
talk. Other members were fully up
to the standard and the performance
left a fine impression. Cameron,

Dullness Prevails

NEW YORK, July IA. PD-

motors and their accessories and some
| of the obscure spccialties making de-
clines, while rails. equipments and
food issues were disposed to improve.
Mexican petroleum fell another five
points to 90, new low for several
years, and Pan-American Petroleum

renewed pressure. but these were re-
trieycd later when shorts covered.

Foundation Laid
For Better Conditions

NEW YORK. July IA. P0-
| Dun's Review today says:
A general commercial revival hav-
ing failed to develop during the first
half of the year. it is not the time
row to look for decisive improvement
IN conditions. Even in active periods,
| July brings Interruptions to business
/ through holidays and vacations. In
NcntOrying and suspension of worn
, for repairs and other restraints add
| their weight this year The combined
effect of these forces appears i'm a fur
! ther slowing down in basic industries
and primary markets and large re-
tail distribution of seasonable mer-
chandise is only a partial offset. That
some plants are well engaged, all
things considered, is encouraging. but
iron and steel output remains at ex-
tremely low ebb and textile production
| has receded again in some divisions.
The fundamental cause of the re-
Strictim of manufacturing, which ex-
tends to many lines, is found in many
buyes, persistent disinClination to do
more than cover immediate require
ments and current needs are limited
The practice of economy and re-
trenchment has become no small fac
tor in the present situation and the
sharper competition for orders finds
reflection in the not infrequent offer
ings Of goods at lower prices.
Results of the six months just now
ending have proved disappointing to
those who had expected economic re-
covery and have necessitated modifi-
cation Of some views regarding the
probable duration of the readjustment
The record, however, is not wholly un.
satisfactory, for progress had been
made in correcting the artificial and
unsound Status of business and the
foundation is being laid for stronger
conditions in the future.
