dr.ys an, intensive eanipa'.ga for the

Owing'to the fact the superintendent l.a=t year did not devote im:ch
time to seaui'i'iig pledges for this
season, there -still remains more thfm
three hundred tickets to he disposed
of to insure, s.ucc-ess financially.
Those who have pledg:d will, he visited shoitly and s':ou;'d he p-epaved
to take up their tickets and receive
. eeeipt therefor.
We understand menv in trwn and
in -rural districts 'are anxious to bi.y
tickets "for the chautanq-a, ap:-ie
cia,ti.ng the fact that the public has
heen called upon to gl/e ilib|-ra'ly to

at night they present charming costumed! selections from. "II. Trovatore"
and the "Bohemian Girl."
Altogether, the great lecture proi-
grami or. the Chautauqua is amply
.and abb"" enljivened by entertainment
Seatures which alone would "be
worth the price of admission.
THE SALINE CANDY KITCHEN
The loc;al Chautauqua leaders are
anxioais that folks hereabouts should
not get the idea that because the
Chau,tau,qu.a this year is of more serious importance than ever before,
the lighter side of the program has
been  slighted.
For that is not the case.
Better entertainment features have
heen provided than cver"*iuid they are
universal in their appeal.
On the PII1ST DAY the entire afv-
tar'noon and a part of the evening is
given over to the program of the re-
markahte. young Indies who comprise
The Merri'ioes E.teitainers. There
is an unusual cliarnn to their work,
in a series of beautiful musical numbers in costume, transpo ting one to
dainty Japan, quaint Holland and
the graceful Colonial days.. A feature of their work that never fails to
enchant is their c,lvxi"iiiii:g rtiidition
of the stately minuet.
The SECOND DAY brings Dean
11. G. McCiitelmn, ably assisted by
Miss Freda Hiatt, in ther demonstration of that new musical art,
"'Coimuuiity Singing." Recognizing
the nation-unifying results of mass-
i-".inging, and its effects in building
up and keeping up eitizer.j-morale, the
Community Chautauquas sough* out
Dean McCuitehan and induced him to
present this new art to the Chautauqua audienos on its westtrn circuit. They will make the second clay
one long to he rememibered.
On the afternoon of the THIKD
DAY, th,e Iniin'ii .1 llusjjan Quartette
will render the full program, und
they will also provide a musical pre-
lttde for the evenfng. This clever
group of Slavic musicians will "bring
to life the wierd and mys.tio music,
of the great white realnu In their
brilliant Russian costumes, with
bright red jacket's, they present a
picture df picturesqueness:—and their
performance on the Russian Balalaikas fs one feature of their program
that is. of universal interest wherever
they go.
The FOURTH DAY hrings the famous Fischer's Exposition Orchestra
with a complete doubla concert at
night and a marvelous musical prelude, in the afternoon.. This is the
surprise orchestra of America—there
never was another like it—and the
treat it hrings to music, lovers cannot he estimated in advance.
In   addition,   Miss   Marvel   Miller
will  present a program of   dramatic
and patriotic readings in the after-
nooin that will give chautauqua goers
I a new idea ofi dramatic art.
I    And   the   last,   or   FIFTH   DAY,

The stars on our service flag are
gradually increasing in number and
are a striking and encouraging evidence of the vast number of young
mere, who in the ardor of their youth
and strength of their manhood are
rallying to the colors' to guard the
heritage ofi .their liberties and save
the nations of the world from being
crushed under the heel of a heartless
tyranny.
The Community Chautauqua should
interest the general piiibjlic and be
what the n^irne implies, something in
which the who'e community will
biost to a briU'ant success. It is
not acting out >the golden rule to
make the committee of public spirited citizens the scapegoats of the
peak's apathy and indifference.
The chautauqua this season is a Avar
measure .and in endorsing it we display, ow patriotism an'cbiaidl an enterprise whose object is to promote a
high order of entertainment, to
quicken a proper community life and
also arouse the general intelligence
of the people in the affairs of the
world and the wider range of hum:.n
welSare.

Over one hundred browned and
happy Soldiers; of; the Soil and twenty-five farmers attended the U. S.
Boys Working Reserve "RoundrtJp"
held at Ypsilanti op July 6.
The County Y. M. C. A. committee
with the co-operation of County Farm
Agent Osier "summoned them! from
the hillside and called them, in from
the gjlen" for a day of games, fellowship amidl inspiration. They came
from all parts of the county in autos
and interxitrban and began the day
with a hall game—the Ypsilanti Reserve teami challenging the county
team.—and were beaten. Then folr
*lo\ved a. tug-o'-war—Ypsilanti vs,. the
ipuinty. But the rope busted three
times, .so it ended in a draw.
' Wh n everytiody .felt warm and
u ed i p, S crearty Reimann led them
over to the Normal. College swimming tank. Like a. bunch o.f, young
a-eafls they swara, splashed, dived
and played. Then seve.al swimming
; a lies were s-tagel. "Jimmy" Orr
of Ypsilanti outclassed all. competitors and. carried' off the honors.
About that time someone mentioned
a 'dinner given at the Masonic Tenr-
ple by the "Y" committee and down
there they rode, i<an and walked.
T.iere was the dinner, new potatoes,
b "cwii gravy, roast, salad, ice cream,
a d all. Jm an instant everything
\ a ashed and: County Chairman H. E.
Van de Walker introduced his reper.
to re of talent. Coach Jones., of the
Chwrvpion Northwestern High football team; D. J. Feli„ of Detroit Centra'-; Commissioner of Schools Evan
B s. y; Earl Martin, president of
:i e faring bureau; County Agent Osier
and ether men spoke. But best of
all were the impromptu talks by the
boys who worked on the farms. As
Coac i Jones said to t...em: "You
hoys have done the work and have
s.cm thing to tell about, while these
speaiters have been asked to speak
and have had to find something to
say."
A 1 the boys who spoke declared it
their intention to "stay by" all summer in spite of hard work, blisters
or loiiesomeiiess, and to seek to em-
roll more boys for next year. Man}'
of the boys are athletes in high
school and are taking the same fighting spirit with them upon the fiami.
Many of. them because cf their circumstances at home do not find it
necessary to work at all, but are
farming from purely patriotic motives. The great majority of the city
hioys have .made good, while the
farmer's son, ia receiving a new courtage because he is being recognized
as a great iactor in winning the war/
These yoiung 'Soldiers, of the Soil
will go bacls to; school in the fall
with darker skins, harder muscles,
purer motives and! a consciousness
that they have held a front line
trench for the boys "over there."
In Washtenaw, county the welfare
of the hoys is looked after hy the
County "Y" secretary, the farm
agent, the school commissioner and
the agriculture teacher at Ypsilanti.
By this investment in a good time
at the "Round-Up," Washtenaw county expects, to attract more boys to the
farms next summer, besides helping
the present Reservists to "stay hy"
all this season.
