WARD WATERS COMPANY
COMING TO CHAUTAUQUA

The Ward Waters Company will be
the opening day attraction at Chau-
tauque, presenting two programs of
infinite variety and originality.
Sketches, character representations,
whistling duets, and contralto solos,
all rendered with sparkle and en-
thusaism, make the two programs
very refreshing and entertaining.
All of the character representations
are given by Ward Waters in Make
up, which is put on with skill and
precision. All of the material which
he uses in this company, with the
exception of some of the vocal num-
bers, is entirely original This in
PRODUCES an element of newness and
surprise, which will delight the en-
tire audience
Mrs. Waters is very clever child
impersonator, and portrays the kind
of little folks whom all of us laugh
with and love. She also whistles,
and with Mr.. Waters presents some
very pleasing duets Aside from the
other features of their remarkable
entertainment, the company usually
includes in its program a little play
of the type best suited for Chautau-
que assemblies.

GRANDSON OF GENERAL
VIM. BOOTH TALKS ON
PRISON REFORM.

Charles Brandon Booth, son of Bal
lington and Maud Booth, and grand
son of General VIM. Booth, Of Saliva
ton Army fame, was in the city
Tuesday and gave an address on
prison reform at the Methodist
church in the evening He also talk
ed to the grammar and high school
pupils during the day. His address
was good, solid sense free from gush
and pointed the way to real prison
reform that would undoubtedly bring
about a reformation of many of the
men we send to prison instead of
making them hardened criminals. He
emphasized three things in his talk
First, he said the prisoner should be
made self-suppOrting instead of being
made a dependent of the state. When
we send a man to prison now we
are giving him something, support
ing him, instead of putting him on
self-supporting basis. 1t tends to
decentralization of the man to make
dependent.
Second, he said that a man who
had committed crime should be re-
quired to make restitution where it
was possible. This would help to
make him feel that he was atoning
in some measure for what he had
done
Third, in case of murder the pris-
oner should be required to support
his family, or the family OF the VIC
tim in case he has no family of his
own.
Undoubtedly these are things
worthy of the serious consideration
of all who are interested in prison
reform and every good citizen ought
to be interested in it. Mr.. Booth
has given this subject careful study
and investigation and what he says
is worth considering.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

There will be in a few days, about
May 18th, a picture entitled Flash
es of Action" shown in the Opera
House under the immediate
supervision of the Local Post. The
picture was actually made at the front
and at least fifteen operators were
killed while the picture was being
taken. Picture released by the war
department and has been shown
practically all over the world. The

ture at WinSlOW as same could only
be secured at a considerable expense
and effort. This is not a war drama
and should not be treated as such,
all events recorded actually happen

in the audience will recognize him

particulars on this. There was a
very interesting meeting last Mon
day, two new recruits have been adj
ded to our rolls and other new ones
are expected in the near future; the
membership drive will go on, espe-
cially up to the 18th day of May, as
all members signed up to that time

concerning the Legion and Labor
Unions 1t has been decidedly given
out that anything antagonistic which
may exist is nothing but propaganda
on the part of individuals directed
against individuals. We cannot con-

such limits in blaming an organiza-

ton for the acts of a few. 1t has
been definitely established that labor
organizations have members in their
own ranks who will commit acts
which may put the organization it
self into disrepute however, this the
legion never accused them of such
so it is not thought that the unions
themselves would do it. On the
other hand the best way to change
the local policy of any organization
would be to take an active part in
its affairs. So those ex-service men
who have registered so many COM
plains against Legion activities
should join Immediately and get
busy in working all system over,
otherwise they should keep their
own counsel. Come to the next
meeting to discuss convention mat
