2.00 PER YEAR

FREE CHAUTAUQUA “TIME APPROAGHES

COMMITTEE OTTLINES PRESENT CONDITIONS AND PLANS FOR ENNTERTAINMENT :

Further Pledges of Cash Necessary to Meet This Year’s Expense For the Annual Assembly

Ligonier is rapidly approaching her fourteenth annual and her third free Chautauqua and the question is being asked is our Chautauqua to continue? Last year was one of the most successful ever held in point of attens dance, as well as quality of talent. But for some unaccountable reason thae response in pledges for this year was very disappointing. It was hoped thaf, between that time and now those who had been its supporters in the past would come forward of their own free will with pledges and thus save the few faithful members of the committee the necessity of calling upon them. We are sure the people of Ligonier and surrounding territory will not let this most worthy institution go by, through their neglect. It} has been said that the Chautauqua is the poor mans university, and that asi an institution is spreading more in building up the moral life of America, that is being torn down in this wilq jazz age, than any single institution, When we think of some of the outstand ing national men whom most of usg could not have had the opportunity ta hear, except in this way it does not seem possible that we would even think much less allow such a treat and education to die out through care-l lessness.

Who does not - treasure and remember the wonderful talks of Wil, liam J. Bryan, S. Parks ‘Cadman, Pris vate Peat, Senator Ferris, Ruth Bryan Owen, Mark Sullivan, Irvin Cobb and a host of others as well as some of the best musical talent the country affords. :

As a parent you owe it to your chil: dren to surround them with the very best influences during the formative yvears of the lives and surely the Chautauqua ranks with such institutions as the Schools and the churches and is ably supported by the men at have neglected to give your suppbrt to this years _Chautauqua get busy and call up Dr. Keehn and assure of your support both financially and morally, ets make this indeed a community Chautauqua. In other words its success is up to you. *“Lets Go” The chautauqua is booked for opening Sunday August 22 to conclude Thursday August 26. ) Committee

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA. MONDAY AUGUST 21926

Freed park with its fine tourist camping grounds and splendid ball field is a big asset to Ligonier if properly conducted. Otherwise it proves a deteriment.

Campers there come from and go to all parts of the United States and upon the treatment accorded them depends the success or failure of the camp. e

A camp ground is advertised by tourists all over the country. Courtesies extended the wayfarer are high ly appreciated and talked of by him with qther travelers in camp or on the highways. : The Freed park grounds have the reputation of being among the mosi desirable in existence. The accommodation for tourists are ideal and must be maintained. K

The following along this line is apropose:

“Company Manners” have been pretty thoroughly discredited in somgq circles but they make an excellent exterior for American communities af this period when the touring season is at its height and each city and town has more than the normal number of strangers within its gates. ; ~ This point is made by M. E. Noblet secretary of the Hoosier State Auto association, affiliated with the American Automobile association -in discussing the advantages of courtesy tq tourists. :

~ “Thisris the season” he éxglains, “when a great many commuhities on America’s main highways become fam ous or infamous in parts of the/ country where their names never beforg were heard. Tourists passing through any town or city are quick to size it up on the basis of its hospitality—more so olmost than on any other basis.

. “Realizing this some cities officially. have gone so far as to take off all traffic-regulation as it.-applies to.the tourist. All intelligently run police departments have adopted an attitude of tolerance toward infraction of minor regulations which I believe is the ideal position to take. - “From the reports of A. A. A. clubs in other communities however it cannot be said that motorists in American cities have followed the example set by their police departments. A policeman will kindly sét an erring tourist right when through ignorance he makes a slight sip. In the same situation the motorist is just as likely to get a snarl from a fellow driver.”

John Stoeckley of South Bend was at liberty today after being arrested in New York City for failure to pay g hotel bill of more than $2OO incurred in two days. : : Stoecley was discharged when his father announced in court that the matter had been settled to the hotel’s satisfaction. i :

One item in the Stoeckley bill wag for $9O for taxicab hire in one afternoon. Stoeckley said he went to New York to do magazine work. .~

Farmers ’llls Laid to Tarifi. . - Blame for many of thé farmers illg was laid to the Fordney-McCumber tariff act by Evans Woolen, Democratic short. term senat_ortq nominee in a speech at Roachdale. \ “It was inevitable that the war should have brought 'd_itt%culties to the farmer,” Woolen said. | “The cruel ‘wrong of it all was ‘that-,} while struggling with these difficulties he has been put upon by the Fo:\hney-CcCum-ber tariff act. g e “That act increased the prices of things he had to buy and decreased his markets for farm products. It is estimated that the annual loss to Indiana farmers through price raising by the act is $33,000,000.”

- TROUBLE WITH DETOUR Noble County Commissioners Exonerated From All Blame For Auto- - mobile Aecidents. The Fort Wayne Journal Gadette of this morning has the following: Lima road one aoinoingkqjaoinjnjnj

“The bridge ‘“‘run-around” on the Lima road one mile south of Laotto will De kept open over the present week-end until Monday morning at least according to announcement made last night from the office of the Fort Wayne Motor club 222 West Berry street. '

- “As a result of several accidents and near-agccidents at this location wherg a new two-way bridg\e i sbeing constructed over a creek which has been recently dredged, a storm of protest and criticism has descended upon the Noble county commissioners who have ' been blamed for the deplorable condi4 !tion of the roadside detour. . ' “In order to protect themselves thg |commissioners are of a mind to closq the road entirely and set up a six-milq detour on gravel roads. The arrangement which allowed the road to remain open was made for the convenience of Fort Wayne .motorists who drive tg ‘Noble county lakes. This lake traffid is particularly heavy on Sunday and cars have been forced to wait their turn at crossing the temporary.oneway bridge provided. The commis, sioners in stating their attitude declare they have spent $l,OOO on graveling the detour and placing it in such shape as it is at the present time. They declare they could not build a temporary two-way bridge at this point be, cause the additional expense would nof be warranted. v : “Because the commissioners have had difficulty in maintaining the detour and on account of the disapproval expressed in Fort Wayne newspapers they threaten to close the road -entirely. mWithin the last two weeks 10 red lanterns warning of danger have been stolen and the barricades and signs have been broken down repeatedly. When the detour was placed the commissioners declare it was marked according to the laws of Indiana with sufficient signs and a nigh watchman has been stationed there for several nights when traffic was heaviest. Accidents which have occurred at thg place are the result of gros negligence on the part of drivers according to J, P. Hutchens manager of the Fort Wayne Motor club who has personally been over the detour a number of times.

“Yesterday afternoon the Motor club was successful in prevailing on thd Noble county commissioners to keep the detour open at least over Satur, day and Sunday for the convenience of motorists who appreciate the saving of six extra miles they would be obliged to drive if the road is closed entirely”
