Closed FRIDAY

| perSOnllty to be expressed had real
dramatic effect. And yet at no time
did one have the feeling that he was
striving for effect.
Wednesday-Hon. w. /. Nolan.
On Wednesday afternoon the Harris
orchestra gave concert in a some
what lighter vein. They rendered
well the selections chosen. In the
evening they gave a popular program
and popular indeed did it prove to
be. This orchestra composed Of six
young men have highly developed that
appeal which an organization Of clean
young men naturally makes. Follow
ing this prelude Hon. W. I. Nolan, in
troduced by Mr.. H. M. Hitchcock and
Rep. Bendixen, gave his lecture on
eve the People" to thoroly apprecia-
tive audience. Mr.. Nolan who is
Speaker of the House in this state
made strong appeal for thoro- going,
responsive Americanism. He, pointed
out effectively that eve, the people,,
as the real rulers of America, have
the duty of being more than mere
passive inhabitants of this nation, I'M
interested in it's affairs. AS it's SOW
ereigns we must take an active par !
ticipation in all public and political
affairs. We must propagate the AM
erican spirit. We must make I'M .
American people Americans at heart.
But our duty does not stop here. We
must not think that it is immaterial
whether we and our companions obey
the laws. If we and those about US
carry this idea, public opinion will
of course be lax. Since public opinion
is such power in the enforcement
of law, America must be law-abiding
if the nation is to endure; for, if our
laws, the voice of our government, are
not respected, upon what can our
country stand? Minnesota has a
worthy Speaker Of it's House in a man
of Mr.. Nolan's ability and integrity. !
Thursday-Shiek Emmanuel.
On Thursday afternoon Shiek Rap
hazel Emmanuel from Ur of the Chal-
dees, dressed in his native garb, told
of the habits, customs and life of the
Chaldeeans. AS he talked of them, it
seemed as tho he were the voice OF
one stepping from the distant past.
And as such an one he was able in a
unique way to point cut the foibles
and frivolities of our civilization. He
did this in such delicate way that
the audience appreciated it. Possessed
of fascinating personality and rare
culture, he held the closest attention
Of his listeners.
In the evening the Copley Operate
Company presented ''the Chimes OF
Normandy. This was quite much
enjoyed by lovers of light opera.
Friday-"MOther" Lake.
Altho one can not compare the vari-
Gus numbers that appeared on this
well-balanced Chautauqua of 1922
since they were all OF, varied nature,
yet it can be said that the lecture by
Leonora M Lake on "The Divine
Rights of the Child" was perhaps the
most helpful of the entire program
for the individual lives Of the audi
ence She pointed out that since a
child comes into this world without
his own volition, since he brings with
him into this life in body and mind
only that which his parents give him, !
and since he receives from the world
only that which his parents teach him
to receive, therefore it is the duty Of
every father and mother to give their
children a real home life and prepare
them for enlightened parenthood which
will later be of such value to them.
She talked in such a motherly way
concerning the vital problems of both
parenthood and childhood that not
even the greatest prude could take
offense. Some "seed- thots" uttered
by Mother" Lake are: Children have
