CHAUTAUOUA DOPE
Pointing Out Some of the High
Spots in the Opening Days


The change of Congressman Fess'
date from the opening afternoon to
Saturday afternoon, Aug. 5, will not
affect the hour of opening, and the
program will be carried out just as
advertised, beginning at 2 p. M,
Saturday. The opening lecture will
be delivered by DR.. Gage-the one
he is on the program to deliver Aug.
5-unless another speaker is secur-
ed in the meantime.
The Sholle family orchestra were
pictured in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer the other day as the only
family orchestra with a xylophone
quartet The Sholles have made
tremendously big everywhere, and
you should hear them in all their
concerts Saturday and Sunday.
The change of Fess' date does not
leave us without big public man
for the opening day, for Governor
w. L. Harding, of Iowa, will be here
with one of the most important ad-
dresses of the assembly that night
Harding is a national authority on
waterways.
On Sunday morning there will be
special music at the Chautauqua
under the direction of DR.. Fayen
and Mr.. Wilson, by members of
the Muskingum Valley Music Club.
They are practicing some very fine
choruses
You won't want to miss Charlie
Hitchcock Sunday night. With such
an entertainer. preceded by con-
cert by the famous Sholle family or
chestra, it is going to be a great ey-
ening.
All day Sunday is going to be fill
ed with things you won't want to
miss. Think of it! Sunday morn
ing, music by our splendid local
choral society and sermon by DR..
Charles A. Gage. In the afternoon,
concert by the Sholle family orches-
ira, and a lecture by Webster Davis,
William McKinley's favorite orator.
In the evening, the Malconta band,
the Sholle orchestra anu Charlie
Hitchcock's entertainment.
Extra! The program looks full
enough for anybody, doesn't it?
Well, the management is going to
give the patrons something addi
tional on Tuesday afternoon. The
opportunity came just a few days
ago to secure the Pierces, popular
entertainers, for a program on that
day, and this will help liven up
about the only day on the program
that might have been considered a
little lacking in entertainment fea-
lures. The Pierces were at this
Chautauqua in 1916 and made very
good. They have an infinite variety
of stunts purely of an entertaining
character, and they will make this
one of the best days of the assem-
bly,.
We could go right on down the
line, for every day is full of features
worth special mention. This will
give you start, and the merits of
the other numbers will be impressed
upon you from the platform from
day to day. 1t is great program.
and you can't afford to miss any of
it.

INFORMATION ON WORK
IN THE COUNTY NORMAL

Many persons in the county have
expressed desire to know the ex-
act work done in the county normal
school. The following is arranged
from the County Normal School
Bulletin published January, 1922:
"The curriculum will be contin-
ued as presented below until a better
adjustment with the curriculums of
worked out. For the present each
state normal school will place the
credits and map out the school year
of work of county normal students
who continue their studies in that
particular state normal as the state
normal deems best. A person who
took the normal year prior to the
current year, cannot claim credit
for a year on the state normal
course; neither can county gradu-
ate who did not complete a first
grade high school course.

work is designed to approximate in
quality that of the freshmen year in
standard colleges"

CHILD RECOVERING AFTER
OPERATION AT ROCHESTER

Mrs. Luella Barry returned We'd
nesday morning from Rochester,,
where she went to accompany three
year-old Madeline Heinrickson and
her mother! The child had been
kicked in the FOREHEAD by horse, the
skull broken and a piece of the bone
driven into the brain. The accident
happened at the Heinrickson home
north of Oswego, June 25, and the
mother and Mrs. Barry started with
the child from here on No. that
same evening. Rochester was reach
ed Tuesday afternoon and the oper-
alton was performed by Dr. Ott at
the Colonial hospital at once.
The operation was entirely sue
cessful. A portion of the skull nearly
as large as a dollar and the splinter
that had been forced into the brain
were removed. The last reports say
the child is recovering rapidly and
the mother is expected home with it
in a few days. The child retained
Consciousness throughout the trip.
Mrs. Barry says she enjoyed the
trip and was shown every courtesy
at the Mayo clinic, went through all
the hospitals and saw as many opera
tions as she cared to watch, as one
can see almost any sort they desire
to any day. There is an unending
line of patients in and out at the
numerous hospitals. At Minneapolis,
where Mrs. Barry stopped few days
she visited Mr.. and Mrs. D. K. Moore,
former well known residents of Sand
Creek.

ANOTHER TIGHT One
BROCKTON This TIME

Last Sundays game at Westside
park was with the Brockton team.
1t was another one of those fast ones
that have proven the rule this year
with finish that was dangerous for
people with weak hearts. Final count
Wolf Point 9, Brockton 8.
The Brockton Reds are a great
bunch of stickers and fell on Will
liams' port-side offerings with avidity
that resulted in half dozen runs
in the first inning. That was some
lead to overcome but the Wolves went
at the job courageously and got away
with it. Funk took over the pitch
ing job and held the Reds to two cir
cults. The Brockton team is a fine
bunch of fellows and good ball play
ers.

SEVERE STORM HITS
"HILINE" ON FOURTH
GRAIN AND BUILDINGS FROM
CHINOOK TO DODSON SUF-
FER DAMAGE

The fine rain that visited this sec
tion on the evening of the Fourth
proved to be the tail end of Sc
we're and destructive storm west,
reaching from northwest Of Chinook
to Dodson. Wind and hail of ter
rifle force broke glass, pounded crops
into the ground and wrecked build
ings.
Damage to buildings amounting to
$4,000 is reported from Harlem
and at Zurich it is said that all the
glass on the north and west sides of
buildings was broken. At some
places animals are reported killed
and there are some reports of people
being severely injured by the hail.
Trainmen on the Great Northern
say that the storm was worse than
the one that struck here June 10,
1917. Windows on the storm side
of coaches and cabooses were smash
ed and the crews watched farm build
ings being picked up and carried into
adjacent fields. 1t is said that the
r.ail did not last long and chat there
was no great quantity of it, but that
it was of unusual size.

ALL STAR CAST in
GREAT PHOTODRAMA

AS distinguished a cast of stars as
has ever been brought together in
one film drama appears in Dead
Men Tell No Tales,7 the Tom Terriss
Special Production, made by Vita
graph, which is to be shown at the
Liberty theatre on Thursday and Fri
day.
Catherine Calvert, noted star of
the speaking stage and who has made
brilliant success on the screen be-
cause of her charm, emotional and
dramatic work, plays the leading fem
mine role. Acting honors for the
men are divided among Gustav Won
Seyffertitz, Holmes E. erbert and
Percy Marmont, each famous screen
actor with a large following.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
were spent in filming the big spec
tacular features, including the burn
ing and blowing up of a gold ship at
sea, with the death of all its passen-
gers. The scenic investure is strik-
ing, beautiful and truthful to the
last detail. The greatest care has been
taken to transpose to the screen
every possible dramatic quality in
herent in the story, and to do it in
a clear, sympathetic and virile way.
Dead men tell no tales" is from
the novel Of the same name by E. W.
Hornung, famous author of ''Raffles"
and other adventure stories. 1t is a
story of the Australian gold rush and
of the passions aroused by the love
IF the yellow treasure. A strange
and beautiful love story winds thro-
Ugh the tale of perils unspeakable,
md brings at least two people whole
ome and happy through the reck of
luman lives caused by King Gold.

and the men who have the balance of
the purchase price coming to them
will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of getting their land back and
also keeping the money that was paid
on the purchase price. I wish some
one in the state Of Montana would
take the responsibility of fully adj
vertising the opportunities of our
state throughout Iowa and Mime
sofa, we would secure the immigra-
tion here that we have always hoped
for.
"On arriving in Wolf Point and
seeing the fine prospects we have
for good crop, and noting that our
farmers are getting down to business
and farming with real interest and
energy in their work, I am firmly
convinced that in five years from now
we will have one of the finest coun-
tries person would wish to see."
