OUTLINE OF PROGRAM
Of the Chautauqua Which Will Visit
Saline This Summer.
:t»»»»»»»»*»8i8»8»»»»;H»»»:tt8»:utu«umii88*{»»»»»»n!i»{»»t»;mmmg
FIRST DAT
The -Harry Bennett Scotch Encr-
tainers will present the full program
in the afternoon and the prelude at
night. Mr. Harry Bennett, known
throughout Canada and in the larger
cities of the IT. S. as "That Man BSh-
nett," is unquestionably the best
Scotch entertainer in America. Many
have said that he is equal to or het'er
than Harry Lauder. His Scotch
songs and readings, in the pietur s-
que Kiltie costume, with duets and
trios with his supporting artists, M ss
Violet Walsh and Miss Lenore Hurd,
make up a clever and interest'ng piogram.
In the evening "Mother" Leonora 31.
Lo,ke will open the eyes of her audience to some'of the realities of life
and will play on its Iranian sympathies with her lecture "The Divine
Rights of the Child." Her eloquent
pleadings for better mothers, belt-r
homes and better home-liTe have become Chautauqua Classics.
"~ SECOND DAT:
The Mozart Orchestral Ladits, a
very high grade musical organizati n,
will give the full afternoon program
and the prelude at night. This company includes four clever and talented artists who offer musical programs
of rare quality and merit. Besides
playing many of the Old Masters, they
offer a number of special songs with
elaborate costuming. Their solo work
also is unusually pleasing and their
ensembles have the effect of a ten-
piece orchestra.
We feel particularly fortunate £>is
season in being able to present on this
circuit former Governor Prank B.
Willis of Ohio, well and favorably
known in the central west and
throughout the nation, as an advocate
of staunch Americanism: and an orator
of power. In- his lecture, 'Perils and
Problems," on the second nfglit of the
Chautauqua, Gov. Willis will discuss
national issues of vital importance,
which have developed and must he
dealt with in the re-eon struction period.
THIRD DAT:
On this—day we are privileged to
present one of the greatest entertainment features ever offered our towns:
Hettie Jane Dunway in "Just Plain
Judy,"' an adaption from "Daddy Long
Legs," introducing ether stories, spoken songs and cartoons. This will be
given with ten changes of costume
with musical accompaniment by the
Recital Artists. In 1918 Miss Duna-
way received, in our reports from committees, the highest rating ever given any entertainer.
The capable artists, Miss Rachael
Major and Miss Eunice Marguerite
Ringold, will prelude the afternoon
lecture "New Fads and Fancies," by
Dr. Geo. P. Bible, who for the past
five years has been appearing in Community programs on other circuits.
Dr. Bible is a veteran of the Chautauqua platform and is well known
throughout the country. He will be
welcomed enthusiastically in all the
towns on the circuit, but especially so
in towns where he may have lectured
before.
FOURTH DAT:
The full program in the afternoon
and the prelude at night will be given by the original Royal Hawaiian
Singers and Players, under the direction of Moana Vierra. The five members of this organization possess a
thorough appreciation of what the
Chautauqua demands coupled with
the finest musical ability. The sweetness, indescribable charm, lulling
harmony, and wistful pathos of their
music ono.e heard will remain always
a pleasant memory.
James S. Knox, head of the Knox
School of Salesmanship and one of the
most successful community lecturers
in the country, will lecture at night.
Mr Knox will make a survey by letter of every town on the Western Circuit before he appears at the Chautauqua so that he will have the first
hand information necessary to apply
the points in his lecture directly to
the community in which he is speaking. Mr. Knox will also hold a thirty
minute business men's conference
wherever desired.   His regular price

Yes! The season is late, still wha'.
a joy it is to watch the gs*owing leaf,
the unfolding flower, the tint of green
on the lawn and hear again the cheer*
ing songs of the birds. It is no time
for gloom and despondency, when the
glory of the Lord is so around us and
nature is so vocal with His praise.
Seedtime and harvest is promised in
a late season as well as early one and
God will do His part.
The pastor attended the Ministers'
meeting last week and had the privilege of hearing Dr. Vance. He ga* e
some official facts that in all fairness
should be considered when so many*
are free to criticise the Y. M. C. A.
in the war zone. The Salvation Army
had 35 huts at the front, the K. C.
250 and the Y. M. C. A. 1567 in the
A. B. F. and 1350-associated with the
French army. An army regulation
designated that chocolates and free
gifts were only to be given in combat
territory. The K. C. didn't live up to
this stipulation. The Y. M. C. A. gave
away more than any five of the Army
Welfare Workers., excepting the Red
Cross. The "Y" had 710 secretaries
in combat territory. There were 65
women and 500 men under fire, and
6500 secretaries in France. The casualty list among the Y. M. C. A.
workers was 12 killed at the .front
line, 90 gassed and 120 decorated and
honorably mentioned for their bravery. Dr. Vance, in his spirit of fairness and justice, took occasion to ask
the soldiers who criticised the "Y",
did the "Y" ever wrong you, or can
you cite an instance? Invariably the
answer would be no, but a friend ol
mine told of an instance he had
heard, and so the rumor found a
ready circulation. He related an instance of a red headed Irishman on
the transport coming over from
France ridiculing the "Y' among a
company of soldiers.   The doctor ov
erheard it   and   said,  in  his kindly
for lectures before commercial organ- ! manner, young gentlemen, there are
izations is §100 and a dollar per minute additional for conferences.
FIFTH DAT:
An agreeable surprise will be the
program of unusual variety offered
Victor's Columbian Band on the Fifth
Day. This organization- will present
the afternoon program and a Grand
Double Concert at night. Their spectacular costumes, their unusual and
novel instruments and the snap and
dash with which they render their
selections, offer a pleasing variation
from the ordinary band programs.
Their instrumentation includes
trumpets, cornets, clarinets, many
melodious reed instruments, trombones, tuba, saxophones, drums, castanets, tambourines, triangles, ocarinas, etc.
on this boat a number of Y. M. C. A.
workers who have been with you at
the front and are nervous wrecks and
it grieves them to hear this unfriendly criticism. The young Irishman answered, oh! we were just fooling!
Can't you take a joke?
ANOTHER HOLD UP.
Aaron Armbruster and family were
held up when returning from Bridge-
water one night last week. The hold
up men are described as two heavy
men of medium height, and from
their aldermanic proportions and by
reason -of the fact they asked foi
whisky, were probably tough characters. As Mr, Armbruster couldn't
produce anything to drink he was al-
While some ot the favor- .lowed to proceed on. his way home.
FOURTH EPISODE
THROUGH DOORS OF STEEL
Wu Fang's promise to allow Lightning and Tom   leave   hi? den safely
was in keeping with the man, for as
he spoke, Hop    Sing's   yellow ta'ons
emerged from a hidden panel behind
L'ghtnins    and    closed   a'ound    her
throat.   And then "The Wasp," hatsd
enemy of   Wu,    descended   upon the
p^.ace with his minions and a bet'le
royal ensued in which the Qhinsmen
were badly worsted.    Lightning; told
Tom to go   home   and turned to "The
Wasp."   She could not understand his
attack on Wu Fang and his men and
asked why he had .saved her. since he
already held the elxmy block.    "Because I like you girl," answered the
o'd  criminal.    "Then  why  don't" you
fell me the block," questioned lightning, but "The Wasp" shook his hez d.
He reil'z.d the tremendo.s value of
the block and was determined to hold
it for his   price.   His   liking for the
girl had caused him to dare Wu Fang,
but he would not give her the block.
Tom Norton    v>e.t   to his apa tr.e t
and, when   Lightning   followed   h'm
there he reproached her for not b;-
ing able to secure the bLck.   She told
him that it would have  been much
easier to secure it had Wu Fang kept
it for "The Wasp" was the grandfeth r
of all sin    and   would   find ways of
keeping the   block    safe.     And   Wu
Fang, who called on "The Wasp" that
night and offered him a cool millim
for it realized that fact when "Ti.e
Wasp" told him that the block was
safe in the deposit vault of the Metropolis Bank, the most impregnable financial institution in New York Ci'y.
But Lightning, although fearful that
she would not be able to accompl'sh
anything    against "The   Wasp," sLill
dared to match her wits against these
arch criminals.   The same day Tom
Norton's old butler went to his master
and begged to be allowed to send a
great cedar chest of valuable sil\er
to   a. safe   deposit   vault,   fearing it
would be stolen from the apartment.
Tom, finally, to get rid of the old servant,   told him   to   secure   a truck
and take the silver to the vault of ti.e
Metropolis Bank.    So this was done,
!>ut the next morning Tom read in the
papers that the  strong room of the
Metropolis had been broken into the
night before and a deposit box robbed.
He at once called the butler and told
him to bring the silver back to the
apartment as he feared the Metropolis
was not safe as he had supposed.   At
the same time "The Wasp" read the
account of the robbery in the paper
and left   precipitately,   fearing   that
Wu Fang had outwitted him and secured the block.   Wu Fang in his underworld den- at the c-onvergance of
two abandoned sewers, also read the
news and chuckled hugely.    Shortly
after he left and, as the truck bearing Tom Norton's chest of silver back
to the apartment left the front of the
bank, he aroused the ire -of the driver
by cautioning him again and again to
be careful of the precious load he was
hauling.   "What the hell have you got
to do with this," said the driver; but,
Wu Fang only murmured something
about the chest being "very valuable"
and left smiling.    An hour later the
chest was carried into Tom's  apait-
ment and when it was opened there
was no silver but, badly cramped from
her long confinement, was The Lightning Raider   and,   in   her hand was
clutched tightly   the precious   ebony
block.   She   explained   at length   to
Tom how she had crept into the chest
the day before and been carried to
the Metropolis   strong   room.     That
night with an Oxy-acetylene torch she
had left her chest and by looking for
a deposit box with fresh •finger prints,
found the one in which "The Wasp"
had left the ebony box.   The powerful
torch cut the steel box like butter,
and taking the box, she went back to
her chest   and   was   carried in it to
Norton's    apartments.        ' Lightning,
you are a wonder," exclaimed Norton,
his worries at an end with the recovery of   the   black   box   on   which so
much depended.   "I have it now; it's
mine at last," he said; but, turned to
look into the leveled gun of Wu Fang.
"Just hand it over," the  Chinaman
said  .grimly.     "I   knew   Lightning's
scheme and it played right into my
hands so  I let her go ahead and save
me the trouble of robbing that bank.
I   appreciate   her   cleverness.     Now
hand it over quick."

Washtenaw county has been organized for the Salvation Army National
Home Service Fund drive during the
week of May 19-26, by the selection of
Ambrose C. Pack as chairman, Wil-
'iam Walz as treasurer and the fol-
owing as committee chairmen: Publicity, G. H. Moats; women, Mrs. R.
B. Fields.
The nation-wide drive is for $13,-
000,000 of which Michigan's quota is
ipproximately half a million. Washtenaw's share is §6.-000.      **"
The story of the Salvation Army
service overseas is not new to Washtenaw home folks. Their sons who
ave fought in Erauee have written
or told again and again of the wortl.
of this organization's activity In humanity's cause. The "Army's" record
it home is as a story that has often
been told, and the fact that the fund
that is to be raised during the campaign will be used for carrying on the
ifter-the-war reconstruction program
of the Salvation Army, will unquestionably meet with a generous re-
ponse from Washtenaw county.
The work of the Salvation Army
\nd the purpose for which the Home
Service drive is to be carried on have
been endorsed by General Pershing,
Cardinal Gibbons and others of national repute, David Lloyd George,
the country's leading Elks, Ro'arians
and other fraternal organization
heads.
Within a few days the campaign
posters, streamers, telephone shields,
etc., will appear on Washtenaw county's store windows and telephones, so
that with the exception of a few
minor details, Washtenaw county i-s
set and ready to go.
