catches to make amends.

CHAUTAUQUA DATES
ARE AUGUST 2 to 9

At the local Legion meeting
Monday evening the matter Of
having a home talent Chauthu-
qua here again this summer was
discussed and definitely decided
upon. The dates Of the affair
will be Aug. 2 TO 8 inclusive.
Besides local talent the North
Branch Glee Club will appear on
the opening day in the afternoon
and evening. The big special at
traction this year. however, will
be an address in the afternoon of
Aug. z by Governor Christensen;
if the weather permits this will
be in the local park as it is ex-
pected that an enormous crowd
will come for that event. The
balance of the program will be
given in the ID. B. S. hall and
each performance will be staged
twice so as to accommodate the
audience in a comfortable man
ner-there will be seat for
every ticket sold. v. S. Petersen
is chairman of the committee in
charge of arrangements. Louis
Olsen will direct the home talent
play Daddy Long Legs; Chris
Hansen and Anker Simonsen will
be in charge of the humorous or
entertainment; and H.
Petersen directs the musical eve
nings. On Sunday afternoon.
Aug. 8, children's program will
be given which will be free Of
charge and gives promise of be-
ing a fine one.

by the entire audience.
Mr.. Holmberg gave an interest

defense and as an auxiliary OF
the attacking fleet. The Army
and Navy has a number of um'
pires who viii render an opinion
as to the adequacy Of the defen.
ses. Their views will be more or
less technical. 1t will be the ex-
pressions of the congressional OBJ
servers that will start the politi-
cal fireworks in December.
Another subject which will
claim the attention of Congress
has come to the surface during
the week. Chairman O'Connor,
of the Shipping Board has advo-
Gated a $40 bonus per month to
be paid to American seamen on
boats purchased from the Gov
eminent. His idea is to create a
merchant marine reserve and to
encourage private operation. The
merchant marine problem has
caused some concern in the Ad-
+ministration as it is apparent
that some legislation will be ne
cessary at the next Congress.
The high wages for American
seamen on American ships makes
competition with foreign ship
pers difficult.
Though the majority of Sena-
tors and Congressman are now in
their home districts or travelling
around the world, there are many
who are making tracks to the
White House. They believe, APP
parently, that the time is more
opportune TO acquaint the Presi-
dent with some of their pet ideas
while Congress is out Of session.
Mr.. Coolidge is keeping mum
on the attacks made by Vice-Pres-
ident Dawes on the Senate rules.

Dawes is waging in the several
states is irritating many Senators
