LETTER FROM MIR. HORNER OF REDPATH-HORNER LYCEUM
 AND CHAUTAUQUAS.
Kansas City, Mo, Mar. 16, 192

Kansas City, Mo, Mar. Is, 1921. My Dear Friends of Prescott
 As the time comes to set the dates on the Sterling Circuit, I am taking advantage of the opportunity to tell you briefly of the program I have arranged for you.
 Every year I have tried to keep in mind the needs of the vast territory we serve and to bring constructive thought to bear as we'll as to supply music and entertainme of merit. There is a great program this year. It will, am sure, cement old and make many new and lasting friendships. It is the re- suit of my best thought and effort.
 Let us consider the lecturers =
 Great forces have been at work in the last few months. Marked readjust- ments have taken place and every com munity in the Nation has felt the effect in some measure. We are too prone to take snap judgment in this country and the blame for many things is placed without thought or information.
 The Challenge to America is the subject of masterly address by Ray mond V. Tolbert. Broad experience, wide acquaintance and extensive travel have given Tolbert ability to properly value and classify events. TOlbert has worked for wages. His acquaintance ship numbers many of tbe big men of the nation. He is a man of sympathy and understanding His work the last two years has gained favorable atten-

tion. Communities have used extrav-
 agant praise in speaking of him and
 his address. He is, an orator. The lure of travel is strong in all of us. This year you are to have the op- portunity of hearing one of the greatest and most entertaining of globe trotters Edward Burton Mcdowell. Dr. Mac Dowell has travelled because he loved it. He is also an enthusiastic phOtog- rapher. The thousands of views and reels of moving pictures he took. were developed and colored by himself and are among the most beautiful exam ples of travel pictures in the world
 Unusual opportunities were afforded Doctor MacDowell--he was entertained by rulers, feted by princes of India All possible facilities were placed at his disposal He has made excellent use of his exceptional chances and you will get the benefit of it all. This is one of the most interesting. educa tiOn- al and entertaining features we have ever offered.
 Mexico What vision we have at the mere mention of this sadly harrass- ed country at our southern border. It seems now as if she had found herself. Has she?
 M. N. Mahany was Commercial Agent in Mexico for the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce. He knows Mexico and South America-what we call the Latin coun- tries. Here we have information that is correct. untinged by any shade of pa rtisanship. Mahany is forceful speaker with tremendous fund of fact that every American should have.
 Here is lecture that takes new angle. The title is "The Basis of Lib erty" If there is an exodus of farmer boys to the city in your neighborhood. have every man that owns foot of ground hear Frank F. Johnson. John

son takes subject that has been passed over too easily and makes it vital. This is a speech that will make the farmer think without making him mad. It is thoroughly. intensely American. Frank P. Johnson has one great thought and hobby-team work, "hive spirit. y You cannot hear him without getting it too. You cannot practice what he advocates without benefiting yourself, your community, your country.
 Now to music and entertainment We are especially fortunate in this respect, as you shall see :-
 For three years the Premier Artists have been featured. It has been my idea to present company of vocal ar lists, singing the songs which the Amer ican people love. both classical and cherished old numbers, in an atmos- phere of beautiful and appropriate lighting, costuming and staging. The Premiers were instantly successful Never have we had musical company of such wide and strong appeal. The company is an harmonic masterpiece.
 Miss Jane GOude. the Girl from the West, is one of the. younger generation of readers. She has personality that fairly scintillabes with a program of wide range from deep pathos to roar ing laughter. Miss Goude will prove great favorite with everyone in the tent
 The Maitlands are a novel and unus- ual trio of young men. There is a unique combination of instruments, violin, cOrnet, saxaphone, piano and mirambaphone trio; duets, solos and so on. It is a spirited. pleasing artis- tic program m that you will remember for Il long time.
 of course we will have a play-quite the best we have ever had, William Golfers great success Nothing but the

CRAUTAUQUA'S

Spring and summer brings to us many sources of Amusement. One may find his hearts content at the river or lake with fishing pole and a can of red worms. Others enjoy a day in the flower scented woods, listening to the murmer of natures song that steals away the burden of business cares, and bids us bow in grateful acknowledge ment of the divine wisdom of the crea- tor of all things beautiful The length the subtle influences of the moonlit trail, appeal to us as the rush of the March wind loses it's fury in the folds of gentle April The time is coming for the enjoyment of the great out doors ; and the one entertainment we look for ward to with supreme pleasure, Is the coming of the annual Chautauqua's.
 First. the Sunday School Chautauqua the C. c. Calhoun plan of high class attraction which begins Sunday, April 8. at the Methodist church and continu- ing until the close of a splendid pro- gram.
 Later on, beginning June %. we will have with us, Redpath- Horner, whose 1921 production. promises Prescott a program of especial merit.
 For instructive amusement, there Is nothing more elevating or interesting to the people anywhere than the an nual Chautauqua, which leaves its in fuence for good in the cities and towns where its program is rendered.

No claim has yet been put for

debated whether the Irish harp
should be eliminated from the left

The latter change could be more
easily managed as 1t could be re-
