CHAUTAUQUA TOMORROW

RENSSELAER TO ENJOY A WEEK’S INTELLECTUAL FEAST. The Rensselaer Chautauqua starts Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. The programs which the Mutual Chautauqua are giving are pleasing large audiences. Large crowds are attending the Chautauquas everywhere. People are ready for a week of entertainment and instruction. One county seat town in Indiana is preparing for an attendance of several thousand people. One Indiana county had three Chautauquas going at the same time last week and all were well attended. It came in the midst of their harvest, even thrashing, but the farmers attended at night and their wives and daughters in the afternoon. They felt if there was anyone who needed entertainment in the busy harvest time it was the farmer and his family, Rensselaer is expecting a large attendance because of the experience of other- places. Our people like good wholesome' entertainment. Here- they can get two hours of entertainment for twenty cents, providing they buy season tickets. Those who would help their community should buy season tickets and do so early. The band concert will be held at 7:30 on Wednesday evening and the Chautauqua will not begin until 8:30. The attractions for the first day are The Ricketts Glee Club ( and Dr. James H. McLaren with his Scotch-Irish wit. Rensselaer expects to go on the Chautauqua map this year.
