BIG' SALE ANTICIPATED
Lively  Interest  Being  Manifested -in
Sale of Tickets for Coming
Chautauqua.;.    .   _   --
One of the mTJst careful buyers among
our successful business men was heard
to s,aj the other day, that* he considered ..Chautauqua season ticket, "a good
buy." - When asked for an explanation
he piekedup frpm his desk one of the
beautiful souvenir booklets containing
the program an<J announcements- of our
coming Chautauqua." He said, ""I have
read this very- carefully, I have decided
that I Vant' to attend every .session and
hear every number on the program, "It
all seems too'good "to' miss. • Nowi if I
pay twenty^five cents each, afternoon
and thirty-five cents each .evening;, for
admission it would cost me a'total of
-three dollars. By purchasing a season
ticket i am not bothered by any delay
or charige making at' the gate. I am
ready for any or all sessions and itonly
"co'sts me one dollar'and.a half. Thisls
an immediate "saving of one half. My"
wife and I can both have season tickets
at the price single _ admissions would
cost one of us." '"furthermore," he
said, "you will .notice'these tickets are
transferable'.*' Now ".hat means that if
I am prevented by, some'circumstance
from.attending any sessiorr.Of the program, I -can give - "my ticket to some
worthy person and have., the satisfaction of doing a favor." As he turned
to wait pn a customer, this far-sighted
business mart remarked, "JUpu can de-
pend'upon* it, I am going to use that
ticket to the limit. -.Somebody is going
to ride in on it every time the tent is
open."  . .
After waiting on his customer the
business man continued: "You'' will'
notice there are twenty concerts, entertainments and lectures during the five"
days Chautauqua. At the season ticket
price each number will cost me
only .seven and one-half cents." With
a grin" and a note of enthusiasm in his
voice he inquired, "Where can you beat
that?" We remarked something rather
indefinite and the. business man grew
more enthusiastic. "Why/' said he,
"I went over to another town to attend
Chautauqua last year because we had
none of our ownV It cost me for .that
one session more than the entire season
ticket for our local Chautauqua this
year. I paid thirty-five cents to get
into the tent, I got two meals at twenty-five cents, I had to pay car fare both
ways and came home late, tired out.
Some of my neighbors drove ovet in an
auto and it cost them several dollars,-
besides they blew out a .thirty dollar
tire on the way back and had to telephone into town for help. These same
parties have already subscribed for/five,
season tickets ttys year and are crediting themselves with a saving of about
twenty-five dollars in cash and  fifty
dollars in satisfaction."
i
It occurs to us that the logic of this
shrewd business man is irresistable and
worthy of .following. The calls ■ for
soason tickets are gratifying the promoters of our Chautauqua and the outlook is very flattering. We would ad-
Vise our citizens to purchase now, as
the season tickets in the hands Of the
committee can be sold by them for ?1.S0
but if purchased of the Chautauqua
management the regular price is $1.75.
The good purchaser buys at .the right
time and the right place.   Do it now!

State Fair Notes.
"We cannbt do too much'for the country boy and the country girl, they
should stay on the farm and "we must
make them realize it is the best place to
be," sa^s G. W_ Dickinson, Secretary-
Manager pf the - "Michigan State Fair.
"Nowadays, with the telephone, the
automobile, the rural free' delivery and
the centralized school, children in the
country enjoy all the advantages of citj'
children and they are not brought into'
consta*ntt contact with the evils of city
life. " Many young people think farming
is just work, like ditch-digging. The
State Fair School, which will be one of
the features of this year's Fair, serves to
correct this impression. -The" boys are
taught that farming is as scientific and
as highly organized as any business br
profession and that-a person can get to
tbe top by it as quickly as by any other
way. . '      '*
"In every schoolhouse in Prince Edward County,'Va;, the following creed
for the American country boy is posted.
To me it "puts the matter in a nutshell
as I was bYought up on the farm, and I
would like to see the 'Country 3oys'
Creed' posted in every rural school in
Michigan:"
"I believe that the country God made
is more beautiful than the-city which
man made; that life out of doors and in
touch with the earth, is the natural life
of man I believe that work with na-
' ture is more inspiring than work with
the most intricate machinery. I believe
that the dignity of labor depends not on
:what you do", but how you do it; that
opportunity comes* to a boy'on the farm
as often'as.lb a boy in the city; that life
is larger and freer and happier" on the
farm than in the town; that my success
depends, not upon my location, but upon
myself; not. upon my dreams, but upon
what I actually do; not upon luck,, but
upon pluck. I believe in working when
you work and playing when you play,
and in giving and demanding a square
deal in every act of life."

Wants a Man.
The State of Michigan wants a man
to shoot wolves. He must be a "regular "Dick Dead Eye" with a gun and
must be willing to- be "marooned on Isle
Royale all winter. This island, according to the game warden's department,
is becoming over-run with wolves.
Game is disappearing under the attacks
ofthe ferocious animals and the department has decided that it!_will gmploy a
hunter. The job will' pay well, for tb#
man" selected, with extra pay as deputy
warden and in addition to that, will get
the state bounty on wolf pelts.   '    '',*■*
Dr. P. P. Claxjton, United . States
commissioner of' education,, is re.t£r-'
atmg his .belief in, continued school
activity of some, kind in" summer
months for most '". children.- "VR"*_r__e
schools should.provide *so*aie;'__ind of
instruction -for. the children through
what is nOw, in most.cities, a long
wasteful vacation," declares Dr. Clapton. . He points out that school takes
at most 900 hours a year out ol 5,110
waking hours—assuming t.n hours Of
sleep for children every night; the
average child spends, about 900 .hours
in school and. the remaining .4,210
waliing'hours out of school. 'He suggests that summer work last not longer than four hours—from, seven or
eight o'clock to eleven" or twelve
o'clock in the forenoon.

For more than a quarter ;of a century ]
the Great Wallace Circus Jvas the best!
in all the "land.   Several years" ago the |
big circus was' consolidated with Carl j
Hagenbeck's trained wild' animal exhibition.     Carl Hagenbeck before his j
death was the "animal king'v and the j
combination of the two shows, for a I
single price of admission   makes* it \
something unheard of in -tl_e amuse- '
ment world.     With' few  exceptions j
%reat arenic acts originate _in Europe.
They  are  invariably  introduced   in
America by the  Hagenbeck-Wallace
Shows,   who   maintain   agencies, in
Europe and Asia for the purpose of
keeping  in   touch . with   the   latest
achievements."
'The Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows have
either originated all great attractions
in the past few years-or have searched
them out from distant lands. It has
offices, in' London", Liverpool, Paris,
Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna", Constantinople, Calcutta, Hpng Kong and
Buenos Ayres. Its agents are always
looking for novelties. B. E. Wallace
may be" Justly called the- "circus
king" as he is the largest individual
circus owner in the entire world. His
name has been lisped by the. ropuths
of two generations of children.
Today the circus has reached a size
that is giving the railroads much concern. If -the three trains were any
longer they could not handle them.
All the equipment throughout this
season is new. * It cost the owner,
Mr. Wallace, $3,000,000. The parade
alone represents a cash outlay of $1,-
000,0001" The menagerie is worth half
as much. The best circus artists in
the world have been engaged for this
season; there are 387 of theni.
Doors to the big show will be-opened
at 1 and 7 p. m. Performance will begin an hour later. The parade leaves
the grounds at 10 o'clock.
