A PERSONAL PRIVILEGE—A PUBLIC DUTY On Saturday, July 5th, the Willmar Chautauqua begins, to continue for eight days. On page two of this issue will be found a brief outline of the program, which is by far the best that has ever been offered here. There is a pleasing variety of the best things available on the American lyceum platform. There will be a different musical organization every day, of such talent only as have made good before the most critical audiences in the country. No lover of good music can afford to miss one of them. The lecturers are intellectual giants whose messages are given with the gripping interest of true oratory. Most of the lectures occur in the after noons, the exceptions being Capt. Hobson and Dr. Hunsberger, who speak on the great subject of United States supremacy as a nation, from their two view points. Every evening, there will be an entirely different kind of an entertain ment, by talent which ranks with the best in the land. Here is the opportunity for the people of Willmar and Kandiyohi Coun ty to get the best that is going in wholesome entertainment. There is only one way to cultivate a taste for better things, and that is to patronize them when they come around. Expressing regrets that similar entertainments in the past have not been properly attended comes with bad grace from anyone who hesitates to provide himself and family with season tickets. The season of 1913 will be a tremendous success, if the people of Will mar and county would simply come forward and do their duty in the mat ter of buying season tickets. If three hundred families would provide themselves with two or more season tickets, the whole matter of finances would be solved and the ses sions would all be well attended. There are mighty few families in the community where two or more tickets would not be used to good advantage at every session. Here are a few reasons why you should buy season tickets: It will be an incentive to you and members of your family to attend the sessions and get the benefit of the program. It will give you sixteen first class entertainments worth from 50 cents $2.00 a number, for less than 16 cents each. Your action will stimulate others to do likewise. It will insure the financial success of the Chautauqua which will insure its permanency as an asset to the community. It will put heart into those who are willing to spend time and effort to do something worth while for Willmar. It will show that you are alive to the best interests of your communityJ It will help cultivate a taste for a better class of entertainment. It will be a "boost" and not a "knock." ~&^ & A ticket for a child from 7 to 14 years of age, for $1.00, will amount to little more than 6 cents for each session. Can you afford to have a single one of your children miss the inspiration for better things that must come to it in hearing the messages of men of nation-wide reputation, or miss the opportunity to learn to discriminate between the low and vulgar and the cultured and refined in entertainment? Can you spend a dollar to better Goods Delivered by Par cel Post, Postage Prepaid for"Amounts Oyer $1.00. advantage in the education of your child? Concert at Norway Lake A concert will be given at Norway Lake Sunday afternoon, June 29, at 3 o'clock by -Prof, and Mrs. M. O. Wee and Miss Belle Monson of Red Wing, Minn.

Martin Trongard returned home Thursday. He has been staying in O remember the old fashioned 4th of July, when the old veter ans had charge of the noise-making, and the martial spirit was the dominant idea. Now a-days the movement for a "sane Fourth" is gradually putting the old style celebration into the background there are better ways of celebrating Independence Day than making a noise. The same sort of progress has gone on in clothes-making, buying and selling. Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes are "sane" clothes they're displacing the antiquated methods of the "made-to-mea sure" man they're the modern up-to-date thing. Men who formerly thought they must have clothes made-to-order are wearing our Hart Schaffner & Marx suits getting better fit, better tailoring, better style and saving money. A PATRIOTIC AND FEARLESS PRESIDENT Another of President Wilson's characteristic messages to Congress is printed on page 3. People generally including those formally affiliated with opposition parties are beginning to give President Wilson credit, not only for high minded patriotism, but also for constructive statesmanship of a high order. David Gibson, editor of Bank Notes Magazine, is authority for the statement that President Wilson last week averted a terrible panic planned by Wall street by stating thru Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo that the Government was prepared to furnish to country banks, if emer gency required, $500,000,000 on proper security. Thank God that the coun try has an administration that is not to be frightened by the threats of the stock-gamblers of Wall Street!

The canvass for season tickets has begun and has a good start. When our next issue is printed, we hope to be able to report that the people of our community have awakened to take the broad and proper view of this public enterprise, and that they have responded in a manner that will in sure that the 1913 Chautauqua will be a grand success. Actions speak louder than words, and the inclination to procrastinate in doing things is the greatest bane to public enterprises as well as private business. Do it now!
