CHAUTAUQUA NOTES

Perhaps the most delightful even
ing of Chautauqua week will be the
one spent with petite, winsome, ca
oricious, drolb red-headed little Peg
in Peg o. My Heart" The dramat-
ic production of the season is to be
that famous copyrighted play and the
whole production centers about the
little shock-headed Irish lass who
presses her way into the hearts of ev-
eryone in the audience.
It would be mistake not to have
a company of real artists in the vocal
program of the week. We are fortu-
nate to have the John Ross Reed Trio.
Mr.. Reed has been for some years in
oratorio and grand opera work in
New York, where he has been playing
leading roles in some of the most ia
NOUS productions. He has a splendid
baritone voice of unusual power. He
will be assisted by Miss Pauline
Reed, contralto, who is also a New
York artist and is Mr.. Reeds sister.
We must look for an unusual pro-
gram of vocal solo and duet numbers.
You will want to hear them.

SANE FOURTH

Last February we prepared a cir
cular addressed to wholesale and re-
tail dealers in fireworks, advising
them Of the state regulations govern
ing the storage of the same.
These letters were sent not only to
such dealers, but also to the papers
of the state to received wide publicity.
An extra supply was sent to each fire
chief for distribution among local
dealers. Many commercial clubs sent
copies to their MEMBERS.
This advice was sent out early to
head off purchasing of stocks which
could not be handled and stored legal
Iy. Every dealer certainly should be
familiar with these regulations. in
force since September 1, 1918, and
ignorance cannot be accepted as an
excuse for any violation this year.
The regulation is as follows:
.'Order 6095. No fire crackers,
rockets, torpedoes, Roman candles,
bombs or other fireworks, and no pis-
tolls, cannons, explosive canes. blank
cartridges, or other similar appliances
of display, shall be stored in place
nearer than 200 feet from neigh
boring building, except wholesale
storage in original packages. Such
fireworks, appliances. or displayes ex-
cept rockets and Roman candles, shall
not be discharged, fired. or used with
in 200 feet from any building. No
rockets or Roman candles shall be
discharged within 500 feet from any
building. This order shall not apply TO
fireworks displays made under the
direction of town or municipal author
tiles, provided the same do not vio-
late the provisions of Section 4398f
of the statutes. and provided further
that no fire balloons shall be stored
or used under any circumstances"
The only kinds of fireworks not
covered by above regulations are

MRS FANNIE E DUMOND

Mrs. Fannie E. Dumond was born
in the town of Trenton, Pierce coun-
ty, Wisconsin, in the year 1880, and
died at her home in River Falls, Wis
consin, May 81, 1922, aged forty-two
years and seventeen days.
She was the eldest daughter of AL
bert and Jane Barkuloo OF the town of
Hartland, Pierce county She had
been in failing health for some time
and the last few months she was
great sufferer. Her death came as a
happy release from pain.
She had been connected with the
Christian church for twenty-five
years, and in 1917 she united with the
Methodist Episcopal church of which
she was a consistent and faithful
member. Of cheerful and happy
disposition, she kept up her courage
till the very last.
She leaves, beside her husband
three children: Chester, Ethel and
Grace; also three sisters, four broth
ers and her mother.
The services were conducted at the
home Friday, June 2, at two o'clock,
by her pastor, the Rev. G. A. Bird,
with interment in Hartland cemetery.
"She has fought the good fight,
henceforth there is laid ur for her a
crown of life"

sparklers, colored fire used in tab
,eau work and torpedoes, sucn as used
by railroad men.
All other fireworks can only be
kept, stored and displayed in build
ing which is at least 200 feet from any
other building.
Deaths, injuries and destruction of
property in former years. due to in
discriminate storage and use of fire
works fully show the wisdom of this
regulation.
A Sane Fourth does not mean a
lifeless, uninteresting or unpatriotic
day. Noise does not mean patriot
ism.
Picnics, pageants, parades, base
ball, band concerts and other games,
amusements as interesting and better
calculated to promote patriotism than
meaningless noise.
1t is the duty of local officials to
enforce this regulation and local or
dinance on the subject.
Public celebrations should be held
in parks of other places away from
buildings, and the discharging of
fireworks should be in charge Of
adults.
We trust it will not be necessary
ehis year to bring any action for vio-
alton of above regulation.
