ALL IN READINESS FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA

Program Starts Saturday-Splendid Talent of Lecturers and Entertainers Every Day. The Lincoln Chautauqua starts in Rensselaer Saturday. The big tent is here and will be erected Friday in Milroy park, where the meeting will be held. This ideal location furnishes many advantages as there are streets on all sides, along which automobiles may.be parked. It is only a block from the bridges and the slope of the ground will prove advantageous in positioning the seats so that all can see the platform. In addition to the printed programs and as an extra number, will be the morning sessions at which Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter will conduct a work that none should miss. Mrs. McCarter’s part should prove one of the splendid features of the program. /The program for Saturday afternoon and evening includes a concert by the university players and lectures by Thomas McClary. His morning subject is "The Heart of the Nation," and the evening sub-' ject/'The Mission of Mirth.” Sunday there will be a concert by the Bunnell-Weller Co., and an entertainment by the world’s greatest imitator, Tom Oorwine, of Kentucky. In the evening occurs the address of Gov. Malcolm R. Patter-, son, of Tennessee, the official who “faced about" on the liquor question. This lecture should be heard by every person. Monday the Price Concert Co. performs afternoon and evening and William Lloyd Davis, the platform leader, will lecture morning and evening and in the evening Dr. Brajnerd will deliver his stereopticon lecture about the Panama-Pa-cific exposition. Mrs. McCarter will speak each morning at 10:30 o’clock. Farmers and all interested in agriculture should be sure to hear Joe Wing, the famous alfalfa expert, who is to lecture Tuesday morning, Sept. 15th, at 10:30 o’clock. The hour of Mrs. McCarter’s discussion will be announced later for that day. Mr. Wing Is one of the most noted writers on agriculture sub all farmers are familiar with his valuable work. They should not fail to hear hhn Tuesday. This lecture Is independent of the Chautauqua and a charge of 25 cents is made. Winfred Pullin secured Mr. Wing for this lecture and the farmers should see to it that the tent is packed. The program for succeeding days will be published in a later issue. Every person should make plans to attend every session, thus receiving the full value of this edueatton al program. The suggestion of a farmer’s wife that town people invite country friends to remain for the evening sessions is a good one. They will not expect and will not * —■■■—=
