EFFORT TO Be MADE
FOR INDEPENDENT
CHAUTAUQUA HERE
Representative Of COOPERATIVE Chau.
tauquas here TO Spend Few Days
500 Tickets Must be Sold
To Clinch Deal.

Maysyille will probably have an In
dependent Chautauqua during the
coming season If present plans are
successfully worked out. Miss Anne
Laughlin, of the Co-Opertive Chautau-
quas, of Bloomington, ILL.,, reached
Maysyille today and held a confer
ence witt local men who are interest,"
ed chautauquas and who have here
tofore backed the local chautauqua.
Miss Laughlin's agency does not re-
quire a guarantee and permits the
committee to select talent from a
great list Of musical companies, ora
tors, humorists, play companies, etc.
They are only charging two dollars
for season ticket admitting the hold
er to eight days of chautauqua. Some
of the largest and best towns in Ohio
and Indiana are booking Independent
chautauquas through this agency and
the agency is highly recommended.
AS there Is no cash guarantee,
it will be necessary for the company
to have some basis upon which to
work and they do not undertake
chautauqua in a city where they can
not sell at least 500 season tickets at
So each An effort will hn nndn DURING
the next few days to pledge these 800
season tickets and if they are pledged
a committee will be chosen to select
the talent. All of the talent will be
independent and on no circuit. The
plan seems to be splendid one and
has the endorsement of the local chau-
tauqua leaders. Some of the best tai
ent obtainable is on the list of the
agency.

Another Hollandale Fire

Hollandale Review: The people
of Hollandale were awakened from
their slumbers Saturday morning at
4:3O by the fire bell, and upon turn
ing out it was seen that the hotel
barn was all ablaze, a large frame
building 40 by 80. The first thought
on everyone's mind was that the
whole business section of the village
was doomed, but the morning being
without slight breeze blowing, the
blaze was confined to a few small
barns, namely; w. P. Fallon's barn
and ice house, the barn at the rear
of the harness shop, and Frank BO-
hans barn with about three cords of
dry wood, the hotel building was on
fire in several places but was saved.
William Olson of Monroe deserves
credit for his work in saving that
building. AS in the preceding fires,
the origin is unknown. Ole Strand
lost Ford touring car in the hotel
barn and carried no insurance on it,
all five buildings were insured We
thank all those who turned out to
help fight the fire.

Wisconsin Radio Weather
Reports Heard in Texas

That the wireless telephone and
telegraph weather reports sent out
from Madison at 1890 daily are
heard in Texas, Kansas, New Jersey,
and on the Canadian border is in
dicated by letters received at the
wireless station of the physics de-
partment of the University of Wis
consin. Reports show that the wire
less telephone messages are clearly
heard at these distances.
The reports of weather changes
that are sent out are received from
the u. S. Weather bureau at the uni
versity. They are sent out from the
physics department station by NAL
colin Hanson, formerly with the
naval aircraft radio experimental
corps, at 1890 daily so that persons
who have wireless sets may listen
in" to the weather reports during the
noon hour. The international code
is used in sending the reports by
telegraph: they are then repeated
by the wireless telephone for which
no code is necessary.

have equipped themselves with mex

The Ball Abandoned and
Washington Weeps

Springfield Republican,: Senator
Harding's decision against costly
display and an inaugural ball merits
approval, and not less so because it
is made in Difference to public opin-
ion and involves some change of pur-
pose. Plans have been going ahead
under the direction of the citizens
committee in Washington and, as
The Republican recently noted, there
was to be ball in spite of criticisms
in Congress, "unless Senator Hard
ing says very positively that he does
not want one" But exactly that is
Senator Harding's decision.
While the rest of the country APP
proves, the disappointment in Wash
ington will be real to the verge of
tears. AS soon as the result of the
November election was known
Washington raised two questions:
Would there be an inaugural ball
and who would be the chairman of
the citizens inaugural committee?
When Senator Harding named young
Mclean, the multimillionaire, iden-
titled with spectacular entertain
ments in Washington's richest cir
cles, the president-elect was assumed
to have answered both questions.
Plans for the ball went forward, the
history of other balls from the
earliest days of the republic was
studied and preparations apparently
were made to place the whole affair
upon a new scale of spectacular ap-
peal. For Senator Harding to ask
that all these plans be abandoned
can hardly have been easy, for he
was in some measure committed to
such a program when he selected
Mclean in preference to other can
didates for the Craftsmanship of the
committee.
