of enjoying the highest class of
Chautauqua attractions this sum
mer. From the week of June 22

program presented twice daily in
the big tent which will be brought

there is not a hall in town big
enough to hold the crowds which
will be attracted by this occasion.
Among the attractions which
are scheduled to appear here dur

val and others will also appear.
In addition to the famous New
York Marine Band, the Chautau
qua people promise that five oth
er master musical organizations
will contribute their talents to
this summer school of patriotism.
If these attractions were brought
here separately and each upon its
own responsibility the prices of
admission would be several times

Chautauqua is for the good which
such educational enterprises will
be to the community. None of
the local backers rereive a rent
ness men had the courage and
foresight to be willing to assume
the financial responsibility of this
enterprise by guaranteeing the
sale of tickets to reach a certain
sum. These men should be en
couraged and supported in every
move of this kind, for we all ben
efit by their coinage and the faith
which they have in their town.
Their object in promoting the
the local backers receive a cent
for their time or services in this
connection.
The time of year which has been
chosen is particularly suitable for
this locality, as the weather is
generally moderate during the
latter part of June and the farm
work is not pressing, so that near
ly every one can get away to take
in both the afternoon and evening
programs.
Only a limited number of sea
son tickets will be sold, so it would
be wise to place your order for
reservations early.' Any business
house in Cottonwood will receive
your order and have the tickets
reserved for you. The prices for
season tickets are—adults $2.75,
high school students $1.65, other
children of school age $1.10.
These tickets admit you to twelve
high-class lectures and entertain
ments such as would ordinarily
cost you 75c and $1.00 each.
Help to make the Chautauqua
a big success by ordering your
tickets now.
A number of business men met
