SON White Indicates Excel
lent Program &

terest for the lecture, music and en-
tertainment lovers is indicated by the
advance information from the Eli
SON. White association. The dates for
Kennewick have been definitely set
for June 18th to July 3rd.
The announcement that Mary Adel
Hays, noted New York coloratura So
prano, is coming to chautauqua this
season with her own company of grand
opera singers, is of particular inter-
est. Miss Hays is well and favor
ably known in the west. She is easily
one of the most popular singers on the
chautauqua platform. She brings with

eastern Washington musical circles;
Ruth Pearcy, contralto, Claude Schell,

graph companies, is member of this
group of artists. Lula Root, central
to, formerly with the Washington OPP
era company, is the third number OF
this company which will present two
concerts on the third day. Other
musical organizations coming during
the week are the Liberty Bellies OF
Boston, the Alexander Trio, and the
Stone-Platt-Bragers Trio, with Electra
Platt, the great monologist, as not
able member. fEt +
The great comedy success, 1T Pays
to Advertise" presented by the kelgh,
lev New York Players, is one of the
feature attractions of the week. Prob
ably no funnier farce has ever beer
written than at Pays to. Advertise
In the hands of an all-professiona
cast, such as is scheduled for chau'
tauoua, it should draw a record crowt
at the assembly.
The lecture list looks unusually IN
teresting this year. Among the well
known names are those of DR.. Z. l.
House. noted author and psychologist
one of the really big figures on TIT
American platform; Chief Strong
heart. Indian lecture-entertalner, wei
known "movie" and dramatic star; +

FINAL EVENT IN THE
CLOSING EXERCISES
Past Session One of Most Success
full in History of School.

With the closing act in the
comedy being presented by the
graduating class at the auditorium
tonight (Friday) the title of which
is "The Little Clod Hopper" the
curtain falls on what is the most
active and probably the most pro-
ductiVe session in the history of
the Welsh high school. TO begin
with the completion of the magni-
ticent high school marks a broad
step toward attainment of the
ideal in school work.
The session just closed has been
noted for harmony, faculty, teach
erS and pupils have all worked to-
gether with a view of accomplish
ing the desired purpose; and fin
ally, parents and patrons have
chlmed in with the correct spirit.
1t all shows up clearly in the re-
suits.
The best evidence the general
public has of the results is re-
Elected in the character and execu-
ton Of the closing events, which
were more numerous this year
than heretofore and so capably
presented, They began last Thurs
day week, with the presentation
of the French and Latin plays,
something entirely new to this
community, and closed tonight
with the delightful comedy.
Little Folks Make
Big Hit.
AS a drawing card the enter
tainment by the primary grades
under the direction of Miss Essie
johnson and Miss Bess Davis, pre-
sented Wednesday night, proved
the banner attraction. Fully eight
hundred people gathered in the
high school auditorium to see the
little folks do their stunts. The
audience was delighted, marvel
ling at the skill of tots so small
and the patience and talent requir
ed to train them so well. The pro-
gram of songs, recitationS, play
lets, and impersonationS was con-
cluded with "Tom Thumb We'd
ding" in which the little tots exc
cuted themselves just like their
older sisters and brothers would
like to do if they could.

Have Accepted Challenge and Are
Framing a Good Lineup.
Arrangements are being made
for a base ball game here in the
near future between the married
men of Welsh and the married
men of Iowa. The challenge came
from the latter place and conSe-
quently the locals are going to
make a concerted effort to enter
tain them a full nine innings.
About twenty-five applicants for
places on the nine went out to
Sportsman Park Thursday after
noon to try out. By the process of
eradication or elimination is is
hoped to get together nine men
who will play league ball. When
the lineup is complete, if our
Ineighbors on the west are still OF
the same mind the big thing will
come off.
Watch the bill boards for an

VIENNA BANKS GET IN Jam
Months and Aid Is Sought

resort to emergency measures to meet
demands of large depositors for pay
rolls and similar purposes.
They are depositlng securities with
the government and having money

The curious situation is ascrlbed
principally to the law governing de-
posltOrs, which requires n complete
Identification of the individual. Many
persons object to this, not wishing to
disclose their assets for taxation and
preferring TO have many small bank
accounts under different names. The
bankers have asked for repeal of the

Another explanation Is that there Is
so little faith in the Austrian crown
that the people spend II as fast as
they get It for something of tangible
value.
