OUR CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM.
The Radcliff Chautauqua opens
on October 11th and Con
tinues Three Days.
The Five Liberty Belles will bring a
program of zest, beauty and popularity, full
of novelty and bright costuming, and alto
gether this singing orchestral quintette will
prove a stimulating for our Chautauqua.
Dr. Henry Clark, of Chicago, will be
the lecturer on the first dav. He comes
from Washington where he has been in
close touch with the governmental plulse.
It is urged that all young men, subject to
the draft, and those who will soon be with
in that age, will hear Dr. Clark, as he is
abundantly able to explain the necessity of
our paying the greatest price in order to
make "the world safe for democracy."
On the second morning of the Chau
tauqua there will be a demonstration by a
food conservation expert. This expert will
conduct a demonstration of a scientific use
of the foodstuffs which are at the service
of the people of our community. There
will be lectures accompanying these demon
strations. THE WIRTZ-DAVID COMPANY on
the second day will prove one of the most
satisfying and successful numbers on any
Chautauqua program. Mr. Wirtz is the
solo cellist with the Peabody Symphony
Orchestra. Miss Harmonie David, soprano,
is a young woman of exceptional gifts and
experience. She comes directly from the
White House at Washington, having been
the guest of the Wilsons. Miss Reine Mus
grave is the charming pianist and accom
panist of this company, and is a teacher on
the faculty of Randolph Macon Institute.

The last day of the Chautauqua will
emphasize the importance of the American
Red Cross. In the morning there will be a
demonstration and explanation of the work
of this great movement in connection with
home nursing, helping the doctor, first aid,
etc. In the afternoon the Red Cross nurse
will lecture on the subject of the entire
work done by this organization, the title of
the discussion being "THE STORY OF THE
RED CROSS IN PEACE AND WAR."
This will put the facts concerning the work
done by this great institution before the
American people so they will grasp its
magnitude.
One of the most unique, interesting
and instructive, even brilliant numbers of . .
the program will be the work of Louis Wil
liams, the Electrical Wizard. Since so much
of our daily life is dependent upon electri
city, for necessities as well as luxuries, the
subject of electricity is one which isot gen
eral, intense interest.
The Director, Dr. J. G. Cornwell who
will have charge of the Chautauqua for the
entire three days, will lecture the second
night on "THE CALL TO THE COLORS".
In this discourse he will present the obliga
tions of the business man, the mechanic,
the farmer, the laborer and the professional
man to the Flag, and will show how win
ning the war is dependent upon the co-ordination
of every phase of community life to
the one idea to win the war.
"WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME"
is the title of the Director's second lecture,
to be given on the closing night of the
Chautauqua. This lecture is devoted to
the creation of higher community ideals
and the evolution of these ideals into reali
ties, in order that the boys who are now
going out to fight for us will find our town
better when they come back than when
they leave it. They have a right to de
mand that we "keep the home fires burn
ing", doing our duty nor exercising our pri- "
vilege if we do not develop our town to
satisfy the need consequent upon their
broadened vision and deepened experience.
