The Farmer-Worker Chautauqua,
coming to Olympia, Sunday and Mon
day, July "a, is new thing, in an
old field, and has mission all its
own. There may be several hundred
farmers and workers, from the State
of Washington, and other parts Of
this nation, in the great train Of auto
mobiles driving to the Capital city.
In the various groups of men and
women will be leaders of lodges, so
cieties and unions, visiting the sea:
OF state government for the first time

camp meeting in the big Priest Point
park, and then depart for other cities,

ranged by the local citizens. The Wis

Picnic on Wheels
The picnic on wheels will 90 into
IL counties, with two days in each,
and one Sunday will be spent in Port
land 1t plans not only an outing
and healthy giving jaunt for scores
upon scores of people, but has an
object that commands the respect Of
everyone. and that is the extension OF
education along the lines OF civic AMI
political development. The idea of
making money, such as has been the
downfall of some chautauQuas, is not
uppermost with these pilgrims.
The new chautauqua might be dc
scribed as the coming of band OF
pilgrims. bearing banners of educa-
ton, and strewing the flowers Of CIV
ilized crusaders along the highways
of industrial life. They hold to high
ideals, are intensely American and
periodically devoted to the country
of which they are part. They see
wrongs in industrial and political
conditions and are trying to arouse
the hearts and minds Of the people to
the necessity Of more vigorous action
in the work OF preserving the nag OF
our fathers.
Citizens Of Olympia, give the Wis
itors the sttis hand of friendship.
Show them that you are all your
neighbors think you are and expect
you to be. Make yourselves at home
at the meetingi. and try to have the
strangers feel that they are at home
in Olympia.
