We notice that most of the coun-

summer. They claim it is not a pay

have to mix all kinds together and
junk it all, then it is taken to the

on the subject, when we get in con-
gress we will have law passed to

Our Chautauqua last week opened
with a parade by the children in
comic costumes. They had been
drilled by Miss Wetherbee, the di-
rector, on suitable songs, Chautau-
qua yells, etc. The entertainments
each day and the lectures especially
were fine. Ger's Swiss Alpine
Yodlers were a unique company.
They were dressed in their Tyrolean
costumes and presented the music
of the Swiss mountains, and used
their native instruments, the either
and Swiss violin The Crayon Artist,
Russell o. Berg, entertained by his
drawing, with great rapidity, keep
ing you guessing what the picture
would turn out to be. Miss Ferbie
gave some pleasing songs, playing
her own accompaniments. Frank
Lucas performance on the piano ac-
Gordon gave varied effects from a
brass band to pipe organ. The
comedy and drama by the Pelletier
Players were well acted and quite
amusing "That Something Within"
by DIR. Bingham was good, he be-
came so enthused with his subject
he really talked faster than some of
anything can be accomplished by
whether 1t be the smelling of pep
permint or doing some great and
good work. 'In Broken Barriers he
showed how the barriers had been
broken as civilization advanced, and
that the great barrier now menac-
ing our progress was war, and

End of the Rainbow Dr. Sands
brought out that in order to sue
ceed we must believe first in the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow;
second, must be able to recognize it
when we see it.; and third We must
pay the price. His lecture "The
Dawn of Civilization" was interest
ing. Chas. A. Horr gave the lee
ture, 'That Old Gang Of Nine in
which he called to mind all the old
gang who had been his friends and
yours, telling where they were and
where they might have been if peo-
pie had only realized their power
over them. This was to show peo-
pie their power over the young peo-
pie of today. In "The Better To-
morrow" his talk was fine. He did
not lack for words and his delivery
was good in both lectures.\ All who
attended were highly pleased with
the program taken as a whole
We wish to call attention to the
fact that we will have a community
Chautauqua next year; those wish

being passed around by the business
men stating the object and aim of
such Chautauqua.

with home folks.
On account of a mistake in the
plan of the Campbell bridge, there is
crack in the concrete. We UNDER
stand the work will have to be done
over. The contractors went accord
ing to specifications and are no way
responsible-but it will delay the
completion of the contract.
A new road is being talked, to
start near a sheep barn on the Ogle-
wee farm Gold home place. and run
through lands of AIDA and e. r.
Oglevee, Fred Wilson and j. p.
Carnes, and intersect Bear Run road
at the j. p Carnes residence. The
CONS will likely not be called to act
on it until after the primary.
The B. of e. at their meeting Sat-
urday decided to locate the proposed
high school OH the J. @. Little farm
provided the land can be bought
at a reasonable price. While this is
not the only site available, yet we
are of the opinion a location very
far from the center of the township
would be unjust to those tax payers
living in the unlucky corners.
Rev. NuZum has consented to give
