Chautauqua Program

Chautauqua Program
Two Plays Head Universal Bill Ad-
venture, Radio and Movies Included.
THE elephants march around.
The band begins to play
The boys behind the monkey
cage
Had better keep away"
Its really not as bad as that.
There is no monkey cage. There
are no elephants. There may be
no band. But there are lots of
boys and girls and men and wo-
men getting ready for the Chau-
tauqua of Rosemary and Roanoke
Rapids. They are getting out
their best clothes. They are scrap
ing together their dimes and
quarters for the season tickets.
In every way they are preparing
for the best time Chautauqua has
ever given them for they know
that very early Monday morning
the big Brown Top" will arrive
at the junction and soon the
sound of pounding on heavy
stakes will be heard from the lot
beside the Presbyterian Church.
Everybody is planning to go
this year, and it is mainly be-
cause of the splendid features
that are to make up the show.
Let US mention just a few.
First thing on the opening day
comes the Dunbar Bell Ringers.
These four men have one of the
finest acts on the stage. They
are equipped with over a hundred
bells which they manipulate in
such a fashion and with such
skill that the sweetest mu-
sic is produced. Nor is this their
only accomplishment. They have
a repertoire of amusing songs
which they deliver with the pre-
cision of long practice together.
As a further offering they pre-
sent several popular pieces with
the trombone and piano.
This year the Chautaqua AS
sociatiop is attempting something
for the first time. They are pre-
in addition to all the
other acts two plays beside the
play. These two plays
are Crossed Wives" and THE
Tanning of the Shrew". The first
IS a rollicking comedy of life in a
small town in which two young
business men switch their job to
the delightful entertainment of
Il e audience.
"The Tanning of the Shrew' is
presented by an experienced
company Of professionals who
understand their parts and read
nto their lines the shades of
and points of humor
that the author, Shakespeare, in
Intended.
The childrens play is a pretty
oantomine based OF. the story of
he old woman who lived in the
,hoe". And all the boys and girls
ire her so many children she
lidn't know what to do.
All through the week of Chau-
tauqua from June 18 to the "a
he entertainers come thick and
fast. There are the McCords a
company whose work is to bring
fun to the Chautauqua crow Is.
And they do it too. They are i'm
and there is also
,ome singing and playing. The
Victorian Maids come to US with
two concerts. Dressed in their
I'D fashioned costumes they sing
and play songs. They make
4 very quaint picture as they
play their instruments the violin,
cello, piano and drum. Also
with this crowd of entertainers
comes the Dunbar Hussar Band
the very back bone of Chautau-
qua week. This band is made up
of nine young men who know
how to sing and act and play
their music with snap and pep
that carries their hearers away.
The thunders of applause that
greet this band every where
shows its popularity.
And to add q still more inter-
esting touch to the program,

badly needed carriage.
other furnishings were also taken
to Mrs. Wilson. A mattress was
brought to her last night in addi-
ton TO a number of small items so
that she may care for her young
children. The neighbors have gath
cred together and offered to re-
build the shack for Mrs. Wilson on
the three lots owned by her. 1t is
expected that the shack will be ready
within a couple of days. 1t is the
aim of the Red Cross to equip her
little place with cooking utensils
and therefore an oil stove is still
needed. Contributions toward the
purchase of the stove may be sent
to Mrs. Boynton. Clothing for the
eight-year old daughter is also need
ed. A call to Mrs. Boynton will bring
a messenger for things one cares
to donate.
Mrs. Wilson's case is most pathetic.
Her husband vanished three weeks
ago leaving his wife with her five
children behind. While bathing the
youngest baby on Monday afternoon
her oil stove exploded burning every
piece of clothing the family had.

RECRUITS
At PLATTSBURG
Chance for Young Men to
Take Officers Training
Consequences Paid

A personal appeal has been made
nv Brigadier General William
Weigel through the local post of the
American Legion for o men 10
60 to the Officers Training Camp at
Plattsburg, N. Y. from Perth Am
boy and South Amboy. When the
opening of the camp was announced
this year there was an unusual
number of young men from this sec
ton who announced their intentions
of going to the government camp
at Plattsburg and through the in
huence of General Weigel, of New
brunswick, the war department
raised the quota for this county.
There are eighteen days left for ap-
pications to be sent in. The age
for entrance is sixteen years, sever
months to twenty-four.
Several from this city attended the
| camp last year and all were en-
thusiatic over the treatment reeeiv'
ed. PIattsburg is situated in Lake
Champlain amid the famous sylvan
woods of New York state and is an
ideal vacation spot for any young
man. All is not work at the camp
for after a few hours drill and tar
| get practise daily the men nave
| many and varied recreations. The
| CITY of Plattsburg e%ntertains the men
| royalty and every weekend ex'
| cursions are run over the border &c
Canada. many places of interest be-
ing visited. There are also base
ball, tennis, rowing and swimming
facilities at the camp.
There seems to be some misunder'
standing with regard to the camp
Some people are under the impress
sion that once enrolled the army
authorities have complete rule oVei
the entrant. However, the contrary
is true as the government has nc
jurisdiction at all over the man az
ter he graduates from the camp
The advantage lies in the fact thai
in case of war the ones who gradua-
ted from the officer camp are In
line for a commission, ahead of the
other men.
The government pays all fares, tc
and from the camp, feeds the men
clothes them and provides housing
facilities. The men are paid at the
end of the month the salary of g
regular army man.
Those wishing to make application
for entrance a apply to Ronald
Kleckner, commander of the county
Legion, at his office in the Raritar
building or write direct to the army
headquarters at 80 Whitehall street.

IMAM DROWNED
At SAYREV|LLE
Negro Student, Working His
Way Through College,
Dies in Water

sAYREvILLE. July 12:-George
House, twenty-five, colored, was
drowned while swimming in n
canal off the Sayre & Fisher dock
shortly after 6 o'clock last night.
The body of the man was not recov-
cred, the swift tide at this point
having likely carried 1t away from
the spot where 1t was last seen.
House, according to information
secured by the police. was a student
at a southern university and was
to graduate next year as a doctor
or lawyer. He was highly educated
and had secured a position at the
Sayre 6 Fisher plant during the
summer vacation in order to provide
funds for his last college term.
At the close of work yesterday
House went to the Sayre & Fisher
bunk-house where he changed his
clothes and went with William j
Johnson, a friend, down to the dock
According to johnson, the water at
tracted House and he decided to &C
in swimming. House wan out te
the middle of the channel, johnson
said, and suddenly threw both arms
into the air and sank with a gurg-
ling noise. He did not come ur
again. The water at this point Il
ten or twelve feet deep at low tide
Johnson notified Mayor Edward
Clark of the mishap and Ofhcel
Jacob Frezschknecht was detailed
to investigate. The tide was founc
to be running so swiftly it was con-
| sidered useless to drag for the body
at that point.
The youths parents, who / v II
| Baltimore, were notifed.
