. seven days' program is replete with
features of compelling interest and
timeliness.
"The League of Nations," "The
Freedom of the Seas," and other
down-to-the-mlnute topics, each finds
a place In the discussions of the week,
thus keeping up the reputation of the
Chautauqua as a powerful factor for
enlightenment on public problems.
The Orchestral Sextette will be the
attraction on- the first afternoon.
While the ensemble work of the Sex
tette is a delightful part of the pro
gram the work of the artist as solos,
duets, trios and quartets is equally
, notable.
"Getting Together" will be the title
of the lecture on the opening night
by Miss Ada Ward, dynamic, eloquent
English-woman, who arrived in
America from France and Germany
with a wonderful story of present
day conditions in Europe, Just in time
"to begin her Chautauqua tour. In
cidentally Miss Ward will tell some
of. her experiences entertaining the
"Tommies" at the front. v j
An eloquent plea for friendship be
tween America and France and a
study of world problems is presented
at night on the second day by Capt.
Perigord df the French Army. Capt.
Perigord is one of the. 1500 survivors
of the 6,000 French heroes who made
the last 'stand at Verdun. Ho was

speak on "The Spirit of the Women
of France."
Both afternoon and night of the

of three, presenting costumed sketch
es, will give a thirty minute prelude.
Their programs 'comprise a pleasing
variety of classical and popular vocal
and instrumental music end readings.
The Culp String Quartet, which
will be heard on the third, day, has
established itself as an important fac
tor in the musical life of the Middle
West The organization is noted for
that 8ponJ-v.n.d freedom of in
terpretation wmeu -the distinguish
ing feature of chamber music at its
best.
Mme. Augusta Lenska, prima
donna contralto, will appear with the
Culp Quartet at night in the third
day. She has scored notable success
in New York, Chicago and European
musical centers and is not only a
highly esteemed grand opera singer
but has received highest praise as a
concert and oratorio singer.
A debate by noted men on "Gov
ernment Ownership of Railroads"
will be a feature of the fourth, day
program. This 1b a subject concern
ing which every American should be
informed and the Redpath" manage
ment has ' selected . as debaters men
who possess comprehensive expert in
formation in the question . and are
also masters of forensic oratory. The
debate will take place at night and!
in the afternoon. Charles Zeublin,
who will take the Affirmative side on
the debate, will give his lecture on
"The Great Highway," touching on
the freedom of the seas and other
vital themes. Mr.. Zeublin has spent
his life studying national and inter
national problems.
Twice Before Bohumir Kryl has
made a tour with his br. ' . bf the big
seven day Redpath Chautauqua cir
cuit. Both tours were so wonderful
ly successful that ever since there
have been repeated requests for Mr,
Kryl and his band again to go over
the circuit. This year the Redpath
is happy to announce the engagement
of Mr. Kryl and his band. Inasmuch
as so many Chautauqua patrons know
the high quality of music to be ex
pected from the Kryl Band there is
no question but what band day, the
fifth day of the Chautauqua, will be
one of the big days of the entire week.
The musical pageant "War, Victory
and Peace" will be a feature of the
night program given by Kryl and his
band. The strife and stress of war,
the advent of victory and the Joys of
peace are all set forth in a sketch
made notable by a rare combination
of music and costuming. Uncle Sam
and the allies, Columbia, the soldiers,
sailors and marines all have their ap
propriate .place ! on- . the program.
"War, Victory and Peace" was pro
duced by Sandor Radanovitc and Bo
humir Kryl working in conjunction.
Mr. Kryl will personally direct the
pageant.
"The League of Nations" is dis
cussed in a great lecture by R. E. P.
Kline on the sixth afternoon. "The
Now Competition" is the title of the
address and the law of the high cost
of hate and the profitableness of Just
dealing is vividly portrayed. The
relations between labor and capital
are also comprehensively discussed,
Pure entertainment features have
their rightful place on the program.
Among the entertainers is Noah Beil-

There are more than 3,000,000 Ford cars in daily operation in America.
This is a little better than half of all the motor cars in use in the country.
There is a very potent and profitable reason in this why you should buy
Ford cars for your business and for your personal use. It is a demonstrated

as motor cars are concerned, best satisfied their owners with
iC the service given, lhey must be sare; they must be com-
f Rarfc fortable; they must be always reliable; they must be con
.O rdClo venient and they must be economical, or they wouldn't be
so -tremendously popular with all classes of people. The big Ford Factory
has not yet reached normal production, but the war is over, and it is getting
back as fast as possible. We are getting a few cars in right along, and we
'will do the best possible to give you early delivery.
' Runabout, $500; Touring Car, $525; Coupe, $650; Sedan, $775; Truck
Chassis, $550. These pricos are f. o. b. Detroit.
Leave your order with me and be assured of two things: First, the earliest
possible delivery; Second, an after service that has the strongest comlinen
"datibh and endorsement of the Ford Motor Company as being a reliable,
satisfactory and economical service. '
