FEATURES FOR COMING SEASON 'Addresses and Speeches by Platform Orators Notable Minister* to Be, Heard on Sunday —The Winona Woman’s Club Winona as Children's Playground.' Women, more than men, go Into the big out-doors for recreation In the Bummer, and from cities, towns and farms when the warm period oomes on they undertake to get as far away from home cares as possible, and seek a popular resort where there is cool shade and refreshing water In abundance. It is to the women and their children that the summer assemblies over the country look for their greatest patronage, and the management of these assemblies exert their especial energies to provide entertainment for these pleasure-seekers. That it is the women who get away from home In July and August more than the men Is indicated at Winona Lake, for every summer women from over the Northern states flock there by thousands, some of them for a week or two, some of them for the entire two months. The people of the Sunny Smith are coming North in greater number every year, seeking relief from the heat. Every year a number from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama .and other Southern states go to Winona Lake. It is a favorite retreat for Indiana women, and altogether It is not uncommon for 12,000 or 15,000 people to be found at this place, all of them bent on one purpose—to extract some enjoyment from the summer time. The program that the Winona Assembly has arranged for this year has kept the women In view, although there Is much in It of Interest to the men. For the week-days, a long list of addresses and speeches will be given, many evening entertainments have been provided, and Sundays will be especially attractive because of the pulpit talent that is to be heard, Senator A.
