Pushing Advanced Sale Lincoln Chautauqua Tickets.

Benjamin Bull, an advance agent for the Lincoln Chautauqua, was here today and called a meeting of the chauiauqua guarantors to dis cuss the plan of a further sale of season tickets. The guarantee was for 600 tickets and considerably more than this number were pledged last year. Several of those who signed for tickets, however, have moved away and there were just 61& left. It is not probable that all of these will make good and it is necessary that this many be sold in order that enough money can be procured to handle the big project. Mr. Bull was of the bpinion that 1,000 season tickets should be Mid here and pointed to some town"of this size or a little larger where this has been accomplished. Above 600 season tickets, half of the money only goes to the ehautydqua company, the balance remaining to take care of the local expenses. Only 25 per cent of the door sale remains with the local organization. President Rex Warner reports that there has been turned In up to this time about $725.

It is urged that all who have not purchased season tickets do so at once, seeing any member of the committee, Rex Warner, Dr. Myer, Arthur Tuteur or others. The Chautauqua deserves your support, for it Is an educative and refined program and you can give It encouragement by purchasing a season ticket or two. The Chautauqua starts Saturday, Sept. 12th, so you should look after the matter at once. The season tickets are $1.50 each.
