CHAUTAUQUA PLANS ARE BEING MADE

Lincoln Program This Year Promises to Be the Best Ever Held—Full Announcement Later. We are beginning to hear about next summer’s chautauqua plans already, and here it’s only February. Word has been sent to the local managers from the National Lincoln system that the plans are being put into shape and almost (before we know it, we'll see advertising, tent, program and all. This promises to be a great Chautauqua year, the bureau men say. There are a score of big issues in the 'minds and hearts of the American people right noiw, domestic and foreign, local and national, political, religious, educational and what not that will doubtless 'be sifted out in some manner or other and to some extent or other in under the chautauqua tent. A full and complete announcement of the program will be made within the next few weeks. It will include orators of the new type, inspirational lecturers with their 1916 messages, bands, orchestras and entertainment enough to grip the attention of the entire community for six chautauqua days and keep us more or less under its spell for perhaps several days after. The bureau promises that the advance work will be more effective than ever before; that the program will be a notch higher ib its standard, because Chautauqua programs must strengthen sdmehaw every year. Every year the audiences demand something different and something better. So altogether, it looks as if we are going to have a winner of a chautauqua. Dates will be announced soon, also. Keep this big 1916 chautauqua in your minds and when the dates are known, make it a point to plan to let up a little that week in the daily grind and enjoy to the fullest this splendid six days of entertainment and rest. And when the committee starts its ticket selling campaign, get back of it and give it a big boost. These men have gone back to their affair with a most unselfish motive, to give the community the best in entertainment that can be had. The idea is to buv tickets —alt you can use. And get in this community procession.
