$1.50 Per Year
CHAUTAUQUA TO BE
HERE NEXT MONTH
An Exceptionally Good Three-
Day Program Will Com-
mence Monday, Aug. 19.
Six Good Entertainments
at a Very Small Price.
The dates for the Chautauqua
are Aug. 19, 20, 21, and last Fri-
day night quite a number of the
promoters met with A. DuTcau,
a representative of the Standard
Chautauqua Bureau, and an or-
ganization was perfected. The
following were elected: H. C.
West, president; Dr. A. J. Weedn,
yice-president, secretary-treasur-
er, C. E. Study; ticket chairman,
G. L. Romans; advertising, J. W.
Guess; grounds, M. L. McAtee,
R. W. Lewis, J. W. Rountree.
There are a large number of
local Chautauqua promoters this
year and there is no question hut
what the chautauqUa will be a
great success, both as an enter-
tainment and financial. It will j
be the duty of each and every
signer to throw his shoulder
against the wheel and do his part
in helping. The numbers on the
program are all good and the
price of a season ticket for adults,
$1.50, gives six entertainments at
the minimum cost of 25c each.
To hear any one oJ these num-
bers singly in a city the cost
would be twice as much as the
charge here.
The following is the program
for each day:
First Day—
Rudolph's Swiss Singers and
Players, showing Alpine cos-
tumes.
Lecture, Newton Wesley Gaines
Second Day—
The Old Fashioned Girls, songs
and stories of '61.
Impersonator, Thomas Elmore
Lucey.
Third Day—
Allpress All Star Company,
company of artists.
Lecture, Dr. Cyras S. Mus-
baum.
Each and every one of the
above numbers are good and will
be entertaining and instructive.
At night the lectures will be pre-
ceded by a concert from the en-
tertainers of the afternoon.
Keep the dates in mind of the
Mountain View ebautanqua, Aug.
19, 20, 21, commencing Monday.
Soldiers’ Garments
Methods of thrift now enforced
in the Army Quartermaster Gen-
eral’s Office, including the repair
of clothing and shoes, where pos-
sible, have cut down the issue of
new clothing and shoes from 30
to 40 per cent in some instances.
The plants where the mending
is done are run in connection
with forts and camps by the
camp quartermaster. When a
soldier tears or rips a garment
he turns it in to his supply of-
ficer. When the soles of his
shoes wear out or the heel runs
down, the shoes go back to the
same efficer. These garments and
shoes are then taken to the repair
shops managed by the conserva-
tion and reclamation officer, and
when repaired and put in order
they are returned to the original
owner if possible, and if the orig-
inal owner cannot be located
they serve some other soldier.
Hundreds of women are being
employed by the War Depart-
ment in the work of repairing
the garments of soldiers and in

bv Mrs. S. B. Ross:

Preacher Gets Opinion
Garages might be considered
first cousins to livery stables as
far as their relation under the
laws of the state is concerned.
In an opinion to Rev. Jacob S.
Sessums, a Methodist minister at
Mountain View, S. P. Freeling,
attorney general, holds that gar-
ages may sell gasoline and cer-
tain necessary supplies to motor-
ists on Sunday, as under the law
they occupy a similar position to
livery stables.
Rev. Sessums also inquired if
drug stores should be allowed to
sell any of their goods they de-
sire on Sunday. The attorney
general holds that the law gives
them the right tc sell drugs, med-
icines and surgical appliances.
The law gives them no right to
sell other articles on Sunday, is
his opinion. Milk, ice and burial
supplies are also permitted to be
sold on Sunday, Freeling in-
formed the minister. — Oklaho-
man.
He’ll Go, All Right
Here’s to the kaiser,
The limburger cheese;
May the swelling in his head
Go down to his knees;
May he break his damn neck
On the Hindenburg line,
And go to hell croaking
"The Watch on The Rhine.”
—J. D. Ellis in Okla. Mason.
