tttattoTTA PROGRAM IS
CROWDED
rnasually Strong Featur In
Music and Lectures; Attrac
tion To Be Held Beneath Big
Tent On Academy Grounds.
The Chautauqua committee reports
tthe date of the Chautauqua this
"L summer has-been assigned and
members of the committee are
Lally Pleased with the strong
Taopropriate program which has
i arrand. In addition to the
t feast of music, entertainment
lectures special efforts have been
adeby the management to make the
junior Chatauqua bigger and better
ctautauqua will be held during
the five days beginning June 17, and
ai this is to be Reconstruction Year
f rtP Chautauqua the program has
prepared so as to aid in every
-o!hleway a wise and just soiucion
i the great problems which : are to
je net. It is understood that it has
tea the aim of the management to
naif the key note of the program a
,.i mi'ia Americanism, and it is
yjjaij vuii ' -
Wed that as a result the Chau
tauaua will be even more valuable
Amnir these uncertain and trying
stment that it was
uniea ui v""j
during the war.
Big Features In Music.
It is said that in its musical num
bers the management has succeeded
in maintaining the usual high stand
ard of its attractions. Evidence of
v this is to be found in the fact that
they have been able to secure, as a
very special treat, the famous native
Indian Orchestral Band from the Has
kell Government Institute of Lawr
ence, Kansas. The Band - will - be. un-
defrthe direct charge of a.gpvernment
supervisor. The Indiana will wear
for a part of their program- their na
tive tribal costumes, and - their pro
gram will consist of a happy blending
of the weird Indian melodies with all
that is best in conventional music
Special features of the group -will be
a feature dancer, and Fred Cardin,
a native Quapaw Indian, who- is con
sidered the greatest violinist of his
race. As a special soprano soloist the
management has succeeded in; ccur
ing Sarsa Carey, a native of the Gher-
okqees
Another notable feature will be the
Keller Sisters. Miss Lou and Miss
Aline Keller have for a number of
years been giving programs which
have struck a new note in the con
cert field. They do not play and sing
for you, but WITH you. In their own
unique way they bring the spirit of
music close to the lives of their hear
ts. Both are composers, both are
artists and with it all they are both
miman. Their nrocram will be a de
light both to the most exacting music
Jover and to the person who knows
utue about music.
The Chautauqua management con
siders itself fortunate in being able
t0 present the Dough Boys Maie

Elghty-ave1 thousand German 'helmets, 'raptured 'byall led"' ' trooivEbT: 0iiem'Avej. to be awarded Tas prizes by
federal district committees in the Victory Liberty Loan campaign. XThey will be given to Victory note salesmen mak
ing the best selling records and school children writing the best essays oo the loan. In the picture shown above, taken
on the Treasury steps in Washington, are shown Frank R. Wilson, director, ct publicity (left), and Lewia B; Franklin,
director of War' Loan Organization (right). Wilson created a panic in the fcelmet market by buying the entire 85,000
allotment from the War Department for $1. It cost the German government? snore than that amount to manufacture
each one of the helmets. , ' ' .;' .:'. . . '
These helmets were a special supply held 1n reserve for a triumphal entry into Paris. Eventually; they: arrived
there by freight. . :i
ful entertainment to cheer the heart
and rouse the smile and set the com
munity .sinking-on its way.
It is with especial pride that Miss
Maude Willie is announced as' a part
of the entertainment features of the
week. Mjss Willis is a reader . of
plays, ahdi sbehas . long held a most
enviable, imputation., in the Chautau
qua "world. He- work upon ' the plat
form is delightful, but she is lovedaj
much-f ir ihe fcliazficter of her selec
tions as for her artistic ability. She
strives to be more than a mere enter
tainer, and she succeeds. Her ap
pearance tit the. Chautauqua 1 will be
an event long tQ be remembered- in
the community.
On the same day with Miss Willis
will be presented Brush, The Great,
that refined and clever Illusionist who
for more than a decade has been de
lighting Lyceum and Chautauqua au
diences in every state in the Union.
His entertainment is as remarkable
for its variety of mystery as .for the
mystery itself. . He presents tricKs
culled from England, China, France.
India, in fact from every source un
der the sun. Mr. Brush too is more
than an entertainer. He strives to
educate an well.' His aim is partly to
show people that they cannot believe
everything theysee and so to beware
of the other man's game. It would
be difficult to find a finer combination
of entertainment and instruction than
is to be found in Mr. Brush's program.
Lectures Especially' Strong.
v
That the Chautauqua management
has been doing its utmost to make its
message to the people ' and its con
tribution to the nation in these try-j
ing times as effective as possible is
evidenced by the unusually strong
"rtf lAftnrea which have been se-
i&vvtf w
cured. " .
The keynote oi tne weeK. wu
struck bj' a notable lecture on Ameri
canism by Montaville Flowers who
for many years has been considered
one of America's foremost orators
and publicists. No man on the Amer
ican platform has a clearer or fuller
grasp' of the afct and issues involv
ed in preent world affairs. He stands
nre-eminent among America's great
est orators for his power to present
vital subjects in forcible, logical ad
dres. His subject will be "America s
Highway to Happiness." ..Every in
elligent American patriot should hear
it. '
Then there will be Strickland Gilli
'foremost humoriai.
For twenty years he has talked vo
American audiences from coast to
coast and no man has a cleaner, bet
ter record. He is constantly filling
return dates, and he is always ci-sider-ed
new because of his ability to
originate whUe on the platform. Mr.
Gillilan isva writer also. He writes
for every issue of Farm Life and he
has soraethingln every month's mag
azines, Good Housekeeping, Munsey,
Vomar s -World, Rycroft or Ladies
TRIUMPHAL GERMAN ftlEffiETS
Home Journal. His subject at th :
Chautauqua will be "Just Amonj;
Ourselves." ;
The lecturer who will prove of . a i
great interest 6s any, is L. Harwoo I
Spicer, a renowned English educator
and an eye witness of the v(Jerma
Revolution. - He will make a speeir
trip to America to bring to Commun
ity Chautauqua audiences- this sum
w o e wa infATPBtir,
message. - His" subject "Wi
German Revolution as I Saw ItVH
will give accurate descriptions of
what has been going on in Germany
since the eleventh of last November,
and from his extraordinary knowledge
of Germany and ; the Germans he Is
able authoratively to state what we
lmav expect of Germany in the future.
All in all a great treat is in store
for everybody. It is planned to put
the season tickets on sale at least, a
month in advance and it will greatly
assist the local committee if every one
will plan to get their tickets early.

".You and I are newspaper men: and
I am inclined to-think that in that-vocation

the opportunities and responsibilities
that abide with those who present the
"We are in a crucial era, at a turn

becomes our special . province to take

' "We can show the "American -nation
what it has done' in bringing low the
Prussian power which so short a time
ago threatened the . very foundations
of our liberties.' "We can show" in its
true proportions the magnitude of the
achievement by which a " nation r.
husbandmen and earnest toilers, en
grossed in their own worthy tasks,
turned aside at the ) beckoning, of the.
ideal called Right and forfeited their
personal gain that Justice again
might dwell among ttieir imperiled
brothers. The opportunity is given us
to bring among all citizens of the
United' States a' true understanding
of where the tasks of the future lie,
to show what, must: be done to rebuild
a . new and '1 finer world on tlhe outworn
basis . of yesterday.? - " '

GREAT WORK UNDER: WAY
AT PECK 'MANEV GOIilPANY
Community Welfare In All Its
Phases Gain Exemplification
Under Competent Instruction
of JVIiss Daphne .Carraway.
Last fall the housewives of the
PeckMfg. Co. community formed a
club for the bettering of conditions in
that: particular community. They did
good work and had a regular clean
up week then, when it Was fashion
able for each family to get their, lot
ajt clear as possible of all objection
able trash.- The mill had all this
taken off the premesis and the lots
presented a much more pleasing ap
pearance. This club also ; helped: in
getting up the exhibit for the Warren
Harvest Home and in earring for the
influenza patients during the epidem
ic. Mrs. Lona Kearney was Pres.,
Mrs. John Gray, Vice-Pres., and Miss
lona Bridges, Secty.
Since Christmas' the -club has ex
tended its usefulness and is now
known as the Community Club.' All
the girls over yfourteen years of age
and all the womep of the village are
invited , to be members. They hold
meetings on the first, and third Satur
day nights in each month. After the
reorganization in January it was de
cided to have monthly dues so that a
fund , would be on hand, to carry out
any needed enterprise. . v
A ; Patriotic Program was carried .,
out in February.- The' last meeting
in February Misses Josie . and Belle ;
Dameron-gave a- mostTdelightful mus
ical "program: of Southern Melodies
and y all learned some new songs:
Miss Josie Dameron also talked to
the: club about hbinevgarden mdt';
A Suggestions about' certain vegetablcs-
for winter use. At this meeting plans
for flower planting as well as gardens
were made. As. a result of this meet
ing Miss Carraway has planted at
least 'three flowering;: shrubs at eacit
house and some around the school
house. Flower seed have been order--ed
and each house-holder may have
flowers this coming season. Prizes
will be offered for the prettiest flower
yard in; the village. Prizes will also
be offered for the best kept premesis.
The first meeting3 hi March was de
voted to the election-of another Pres.
since Mrs. Kearney found it necessary
to resign; Since deciding to have
monthly dues a Treas. was needed
and Miss Effie Lloyd was chosen,,
while Miss Carraway was made Pres..
for the present. At this meeting
foods for the sick were discussed.
Each member had been asked a bring
a cup and spoon. Certain members
had prepared beef tea, beef broth and
gruel according to recipes found in
the reader used in . the. Adult Class.
It was pronounced delicious by the
club. Mrs. C. E. Lovell made a tooth
some loaf of bread. Cottage cheese,
made also from a recipe to be found
in the reading book, .was served. Plans
tor the State Clean Up Week were
laid and: several selections were read
from the literature sent out from the
State Insurance Department.
Now that the mill village has had
its spring cleaning- and flowers are
being looked after we hope this will
be one of the most attractive sections
around Warrenton.
The Children's Society is doing its
bit W. This meets every Friday af
ternoon and the membership is taken
from the class of children between
the ages of six and fourteen. This
part of the work is handled most ably
by Miss Alice. Rooker. Everett
Bridges is Pres. of this , club and pre
sides with care. Every Friday each
child has at least some part in the
program.. Last Friday the subject
was Clean Up Time. Every child in
the school had something to say on
the subject. At the end of the pro
gram a practical demonstration was
given by all getting out on the yard
or in the house and for a reguter
spring cleaning. Many hands mado
light work 7and in less time than you
could imagine the yard had been rak
ed and swept and the house had been
given a regular spring cleaning;,
The children also helped in distribut-
