CHAUTAUQuA HAS
SPLENDID LIST
Of ATTRACTIONS
TICKETS SHOULD SELL RAPID
LY IN VIEW OF THE VERY
FINE PROGRAM.
Entertainments Are
TO Begin On Tuesday

Still far short Of selling the tickets
that must be disposed of to meet the
guarantee for the Redpath Chautau-
qua, which opens here next Tuesday
all bars have been taken down and
from now on the ticket sellers will
work in any territory that appeals to
them, and hopes are being held by
the committee that enough tickets
may yet be sold 70 aest the guaran-
tee
In Wow Of the fact that the pro-
gram for the Chautauqua this year
is the best that Alma has had, the
committee is at loss TO understand
why a sufficient number of tickets
have not yet been sold, but it is antic-
ipated that if the ticket sellers
work with a vim and again cover the
field before next Tuesday evening,
the ticket selling will meet with sue
cess. The committee realizes that
many people have been on vacations
and that the ticket sellers have not
been able TO get in touch with them
and that in numerous other cases
people have not been certain as to
whether or not they would be able to
attend the event, and have held up in
making their purchase of tickets.
1t is expected that many Of these
people will secure their tickets dur
ing the next few days.
The program for the affair this
year is an exceptionally good enc.
Two of the big features Of Chauteu-
qua week will be the two big plays
that are to be rendered by New York
casts, xhd which if they were not
connected with the Chautauqua
could not be witnessed probably for
a sum equal to the price of the ticket
for all of the Chautauqua attractions.
Turn to the Right" the famous
American play, Is one of these at
fractions. Friendly Enemies" a
modern comedy drama is the other.
Both make big hits when presented
in NewYork.
In addition to these big attractions
will be the artists recfa by Irene
Stolofsby and assisting artists, the
concerts by the Cramer-Kurz Trio,
and Lieurancc's Lille Symphony Or
,hestra, Vierra'5 Hawaiians; the lee
lures by the Hon. Charles II. Brough
Or Huber w. Burt, Evelyn Hansen,
Chester NJ Sanford, and others
In addition to all of these attract
ons is TO be found a new departure
this year for holders of the season
tickets, chldren's entertainments in
he morning, which promise to be
highly attractive 10 the youngsters.
The program for the week follows:
Tuesday. August Is
Afternoon Introductory exercis-
rs. Popular concert by ths Collie

Evening Collegian Male Quartet.

directly back OF the present library
building and the museum.
1t was at first expected that the
building would cost upwards of $780,
600, but because this sum of money
is not available from the endowment
campaign for the purpose at the
present time the natatorium will not
be constructed this year. 1t will
probably be added within the next
two years. This will lower the es-
timated cost considerably. The de-
cline of material over estimates at
the time Of the campaign is con-
siderable also and it is expected that
the structure without the natator-
ium will be approximately $4,000,

Henry R. Rathbone, Chicago. Re-

A. today that the people Of the

the tact that they live in the garden
spot Of the world, and that the Mis-
sfssippi river is = blessing and
benefit constituting IN asset Of
tremendous value"
He hoped to see the day, he said,
when commerce would utilize the
barge system Of transportation on
the great waterway by means Of
which products could be shipped at
q nth the cost Of transportation
by rail. Although two Americans
taught the world how to n.y." he
said, 1T is humiliating to remem-
Der that America is being outdis-
tanced in the development Of air
ships"
As chairman of the Mississippi
Valley committee of the Chicago
Association Of Commerce, Mr..
Rathbone said that he had made a
study Of the resources of the region
watered by the great river, which
he said, lis like q silver strand on
which the jewels Of the central
states are strung"

club to an international convention
OF the organization held recently in
Canada, today told the club their
Impressions Of the big gathering.
Mr.. Rathbone said he favored the
st. Lawrence waterway which he
said would be another bond OF
union between the United States
and Canada. Canadians, he said
will never forget how they tough,
side by side with the United
States troops in the World war
and the fact that for over a CEN
fury the boundary line between the
two countries has been unguarded
shows that world peace is not an
impractical vision"
