Telephone 154 ISTATEMENTFROM CHAUTAUQUA COM. SUNSHINE SONNETS The true wealth of the earth dwells not in gold, Nor yet in jewels with their flashing glow; - It is not found in cities great and old, For. through their broken stones the grasses grow. Men strive for things that fade, and vainly dream That they are gaining, riches real and true. And find but poverty—life’s richer gleam Has passed them by, to vanish in the blue. The man who touches beauty’s golden wing, Rejoicing in the sunrise and the day, Who .sees the loveliness in every thing From stars to shadows—he has found the way. Earth’s riches lie, not in the things that die, But in the joy of life beneath the sky. —Murial Brewster. MRS.

If he is her escort, he must.see that she has a partner for th^ next dance. If he is not her es cort, he should see that she is com fortably seated with others before leaving her. To Those*Interested in.Chautauqua: The ohairman and committee regret very much that one rule they made, namely, closing the sale of the tickets at 12 o’clock Friday, conflicts with our contract with the Redpath Chau tauqua. Our contract calls for the sale of tickets to close, at $3.00 each, at 3:00 p. m. Now, we know that several of our “best” citizens are waiting for some “Bargain Tickets.” Also some guar antors are waiting to get their tickets, expecting their tickets to cover their part of the deficit. We take this method of advising you again that you will POSITIVELY get no tickets. Furthermore, alii adult tickets will increase to 9&50 after 3:00 p. m. Friday, May 1. Some are kicking about the method of ticket sale. They should have been at the meeting and help to make the rules. G. C* ODIORNE, Chairman. GILBERT BLAKELY, Sec.-Tr.
