Biff Attendance and Lively Inter ' est Mark Progress of Five- Day Program. vt. OVERSEAS ORCHESTRA IS MOST POPULAR NUMBER Organization of Women Makes Decided Hit at Interesting and Artistic Evening Performance Some Very Instructive Lectures. itTV In naming the performance of the fib- Overseas Orchestra as ""the mucical IT climax of the week," the Chautauqua Kj programs gave out only the absolute h, truth.. Most any of those who com- ' W posed the appreciative audience in the ' big tent Thursday evening will tell M you -tho same thing. The average person having no musical experience 1 usually finds a program entirely mu- m- sicnl getting infinitely tiresome long $ before its! end. But the eight musical sfe charmers who worked their magic for - us on the tnird Chautauqua evening k so varied their uniformly excellent .? efforts as to hold the attention of their auditors to the very end. It is fr easy to believe the assertion that this E attractive aggregation was a favorite Bfe among tho doughboys on the other at side last year. They made no greater m? hit among the buddies than they have B in Cedar City this week. IF Every session of tho Chautauqua ft "has been well attended. The evening gatherings were of course much lnrg 1fervx cr tnnn tno afternoon sessions. There Sri&h' -lias been a steady increase in attend ffiliyfw&ance each day, the averago for the MAMSJwr.week going wen over slx hundred.. f ' "Not only attendance but applause In- :' dicates tho lively appreciation with ?x which the program is being received. The flattering number of recnlls giv en most of the entertainers is con clusive evidence of the strength of "tho program. " . Tho McGregor singers pleased the f lovers of Scotch character songs and furnished a pleasing background for tho strenuous cartoon-lecture of Mrs. f "Fisk. This really remarkable cxpo- ' nent of machine-gun methods in art has developed to tho "nth" power her ' woman's gift of talking as she works. She is one more human who can do -two things at once and do both well. "Green Stockings", read tho second afternoon by Ruby Pago Ferguson, -was appreciated by lovers of high class comedy, and tho brilliant per T formance of Fenwick Newell tho same afternoon and evening furnished a real feast for those who hanker for the exotic passion of foreign opera. The second evening featured a trum pet call to citizenship from Joel W. EaBtman. There was a power behind the words of this rugged disciplo of the Immortal "Abe" that was not to be resisted. His sentences were sim ple and lucid and seemed charged with authority. His appeal was to that i part of the human animal that dis- :N tinguishe3 him from tho hog. The h founnation of tho Eastman argument was tho proposition that there is an instinct to plan and build that domi- nates man and makes him unsuited to j any social system other than democ- racy. The American conception of fi democracy was his csnecinl theme, ; and no citizen could sit the lecture I out without feeling an impulse to- ward a fuller and more intelligent dis- ' charge of his duties as an American I citizen. The man and his messago furnished a pleasant surprise to thoso of us who went expecting the usual propaganda that is being passed out theBO days under the name of Amer icanism. j Mi-s. M. Plrio Boyea, whoso lec- I turo came the third afternoon, fur- m nished an intimato and vivid picture Wk of the great war such as few others H have been capable of creating. Her H twnn stories of tho boys who & Hj the thing across were whnt cvet?y H American should hear and tako to H heart. Tho boys do not tell what K they did because they were tho ones H who did it. It remains for tho nurses H to give us tho facts. Mrs. Beyca is H, doing n great work in helping us to I see the ox-service man and his vital Bf needs. Wo nro all too forgetful of H thoso who oflfored their lives for our Ml sakes. HI The big show has been a financiul success, too. Thero is now no question VJ that Cedar City qualifies for tho honor jw of being a "Chautauqua town." Tho Kjj work istpast,. the. experimental stage H now. Tho circuit can now bo looked jg upon as a regular part of our com- 1 munity life. ROBERTS WINS HEART OF SUFFRAGE Governor A. H. Roberta of Ton nosseo, has won tho heart of suf trage. His promiso to call a rpo- elal session of tho Tonnessoo Leg islature in tho effort to havo the fcdoral suffrage amendment adopted, tho 36th Btato, and mak ing tho measure a law, giving woman tho ballot, won for htm. It tho Legislature adopts 'tffrago, the women votors of America will Tote at tho presidential election in November. CEDAR BALL 'TEAM WINS TWO GAMES In Fast Holiday Match Local Pill Chasers Show Too Much Speed for Beavers. Well, Cedar City is on tho base ball map, and if the boys' live up to their present professions and promises, we are there to stay. All that is needed is persistence and a little of the right kind of support, and' Cedar City will have thechampion, ball tossers of-thu south. You would have gotten a "kick" out of it had you been in MinorsviU'e to see them blossom out in their new suita(?). You felt like gettting out of sight for fear you would hear some disparaging remark concerning your homo town. But, oh, boy! it wasn't long after the game started until you felt quite comfortable in the presence of all of 'em. The game with Mincrsville was a simple experiment, and consisted of Cedar batting tho apple (core and all) all over the lot until the men were tired out racing bases, and then of turning the stick over to the Miners ville crowd and holding them down to only(?) 15 tallies, Cedai-'s scoro being 27. Mont Hunter eublazoncd his name on the honor roll of the day by scor ing the only home run. A number of the boys, however, were credited with thrce-baggcrs. Tho game with Milford tho follow ing day was quite a different matter, and both teams settled down at the outset to playing real base-ball tho big league stuff, you understand. And right here we want to say that Cedar has tho fastest bunch both in and out field that wo have ever hnd here. The vame was nip and tuck all tho way through, and was won as much by tho brilliant fielding of the Cedar team as anything else, though tho battery also did splendid work, hold ing tho opponents down to a remark ably small number of hits. Tho score at the end of tho game stood 8 to 7 in Cedar's favor, with another innings due our men which thoy did not need to win. Tho battery of the Cedar team for the game with Mincrsville was L. Nelson, Geo. Nelson and P. N. Wilkin son. For the game with Milford it was Ross and Bassler. Following is the complete lineup of the Cedar City team: Rassler, Wilkinson, catch. L. Nelson, Ross, G. Nelson, pitch. Leigh, 1st base. Root, 2nd base. Watson, short stop. 1). Nelson, 3rd base. Davis, right field. Milne, center field. Hunter, left field. In conclusion, wo have to say that Cedar City hns a baso ball team wor thy of support, and it is going to be supported, judging from the way tho business men loosened up the first time they were called upon. Dr. Edgar A. Petty, brother of Dr. F. II. Petty of this place, was in Cedar City Wednesday on his way homo to Hurricane from Los Angeles, where ho recently completed his stud ies at the University of Southern California, receiving his D D.

The editorial column of tho Paro wan Times this week contnins the following? "Some few people of the town have made the assertion that tho Times editor does not gather the news, and that the stuff published is not up to dnte. "For the information of these kick ers we wish to say thnt the amount of business dono by the Times does not warrant tho hiring of n reporter, and rcnlly does not pny n decent sal ary to tho editor. "Whenever tho kickers feel that jthoy are not getting their monoy's j worth all thoy hnve to do is to quit bupporting tho pnper. By so doing they would save themselves the nec essity of complaining and might bo 'able to sleep soundly at night.
