The program, w hich is publish ed on the back page is so diversi fied that amusement and better ment for all is assured. Our people are quite familiar with the operation of Chautau- j qua but the purpose of Chautau-1 qua should always be remember ed. It is a nonprofit sharing cor oration that is no one receives a dividend if there is any sur plus at the end of the year. Should there be a surplus it must be put back into the next years program. Chautauqua brings to us lecturers and entertainers that we probably could not obtain from any other source and certainly not at one fifth the price of a season ticket An intensive ticket selling program will be launched tomor row night. As soon as the quota is reached no further effort willjdei-ed to pay w ife $.'!0 a month be made to sell tickets. Therefore if you intend to buy a season ticket buy it today or tomorrow.
