st. Clair June 1.-THE Non parti
san rally here Thursday got a rather
cool reception, Even the weather
man refused to give them a good day.
Only about a half dozen people were
present at the meeting, which would
seem to indicate that the farmers OF
this community find they can employ
their time TO better advantage else
where than attending meetings OF this
type.
Just remember that ST. Clair is put
ting on chautauqua from July IL to
IL that is second to none. The chau
tauQua will be here for five days and
will put on entertainment which will
be interesting and instructive to every
one. The Evening Star ChautauQua
is putting emphasis where il belongs.
1t is not attempting to spread out
with a mediocre program over morn
ing, afternoon and evening, afternoon
and evening sessions. 1t is concentra-
ting on one program a day, the even
ing program, when the busy business
man and the still buster farmer can
have time to enjoy it, and making
that program worth two or three OF
the ordinary kind. Buy your season
tickets now and save money as these
will be sold for about fifty cents less
than at the tent door. Every ticket
sold is boost for the band, as we un-
derstand the proceeds will be given to
the band organization,

to st. Clair Sunday and with the as
sistance OF four Madison Lake play

ular form and not ready to accept de-
feat so easily. In spite OF the fact

the game with real pep and ran six
scores the first inning. Everyone OF
the boys brought IN one or more
scores before the game was over,

Rapidans six. The Cords Pagenkopf

supported. Peg satisfied himself with

"a few hits. The St Clair team hasn't
met defeat this year and Manager ].
