CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FR IDAY , AUGUST 31,1917 PRICE, #1.00 A fY E A R THE CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM IS ABOVE THE STANDARD, The fourth annual Chautauqua fo r Cedarville, opened Monday afternoon and will clone Friday night. The diautauqua met opposition thin year in late harvest conflicting dates with State fair and the Greene, eojunty - teacher's institute, all o f which drew on the attendance, t Probably the most important thing that weighed on the people was the war situation and the early arrival Pif the time when the'hoys will leave their homes on the first step o f the trip to the front iri France, The local committee has had a difficult task this year in overcoming these obstacles in the sale of tickets. The sale w$s larger than some antici­ pated but by using the surplus in the treasury the guarantors will not he called upon, for On assessment. If such is necessary it would -he' very small to each signer, • i That there has been a general apathy towards the Chautauqua,. there is no question. Probably no more than other towns. It has been hard for - people to become enthused as in the past but the program on the whole has been as goojd, i f not better, than in former years,. Col. Miller's lecture, ‘ ‘It Isn’t Your Town, It’s You," proved to be a very humorous lecture that brought com my«ity interest close to us all. His re­ view o f what the mail order house does for a community, applies here as ifr does in nearly every town. - Another lecture that was instruct-, ive and timely was "The Border Land,” by Pr. Yutaka Minakuchi, a -native Japanese who is quite a scholr ar. His views on the relations of his country with the U. S., the California situation, the Phillipines, and trade reflations proves’ that we have no foe in Japan, Judge Frank Ashman on "The Majesty o f -Trifles” was openly) en­ dorsed by all who heard it. The speaker had a message that! will not soon be forgotten. Three years ago we had LoZito and his New York City Marine Band. It was quite a treat to have the famous bandmaster with us again, The even­ ing program was largely from the standard operas intefsperced with popular airs as enchojres. LoZito has the same magnetic power as a leader as before and will always be a wel­ come visitor. The- Thursday, and Friday pror grams will prove as interesting as the first o f the program. The Junior work is under the di­ rection o f "Miss Garvin and a pageant wiU be given Friday afternoon. . , ,®e..auqstl 9 n o f another- chautau. „ ' qua fo r next year is being discussed, The success this year in the face of the . opposition from conflicting attractions would indicate that this town can support another Chautauqua and make it as profitable as in' years past. We cannot afford to do without a Chautauqua anymore- than our Winter lecture course. YOUNG MEN GO ON HONOR ROLL AS FIRST TO LEAVE COUNTY, When the history o f Greene county is rewritten and her part in the great world war is recorded, it will he found •that nine young men although draft­ ed into the country’s service, asked to be in the first quota o f twelve to be sent to the cantonment at Chilli- cothe; this being five per cent ,called for.

The boys will leave on September 5, according to present arrangements WILL SOON DEPART. RED CROSS REPORT. Mrs. I. C. Davis, director of the Cedarville branch o f the Greene coun­ ty chapter of.

When the gates pjpen next Monday morning for the Montgomery county; fair, it will open one of the greatest exhibitions e^er given in the history o f the county. There are several rea­ sons for this.

In many of the departments of the fair, premiums have been increased and many other inducements (have been offered that ate expected to bring about some very- strong-com­ petition. ' * 'HOW DICTATORSHIP WORKS. We have read of war, victory and defeat to one side or the other, the horrors attributed to such through the more-modem methods devised to overpower one nation or the- other. We have been told that America’s part in the world was to bripg about a victory that .would insure a safe democracy for the entire world. We have alsoi learned from circumstances that our peace and happiness could only b& continued by making this democracy safe, ..Events of months back have brought these facts eloper, home to American people,. The registration of young men and the consequent draft, each brought us closer with the war situation. Next Wednesday we are face to face with the seriousness of the situation when the first quota n>X our young men will go into camp for training. It is true that these young men will not be many miles from home, but it is the first part p f the journey to the battlefields o f France. They are leav­ ing home and friends, leaving those 'they love best, one o f the supreme tests of a man's life. This sacrifice is made that we who remain at hopm may enjoy the privileges of political, religious and economic freedom. It is an answer to a nation’s call -and brings home to everyman. the part he is to have in support of our young men who go to the front/i We all can do something, A oojntribution to •the Red Cross, the purchase o f the next issue.of liberty bonds. Let us all do our part as are thees young men, whoi are meeting the test calmly, quietly and without complaint. . ' OHIONEWSCOT TOTHEQUICK HONORS ARE EVEN. The usual central committee con­ test was staged last Saturday, but the Shoup and Marshall factionsquit with honors even. It Is to be presumed that such was not the intention and that at cog slipped in the Shoup mach­ inery, or the result would have been different. Three vacancies on the committee had to be filled, all from the Shoiupi faction.^'Only nine on this side showed up while Marshall had all his there. The successful men chosen were; Ed. Bell, Bath township; J. C, Townsley, Cedarville and Billy Rogers o f the celebrated Fourth ward, Xenia. These defeated were W. Si Hopping, Ed. Miles and Thomas Green. The committee is tied so far as the factions stand. As Woodrow is Presi­ dent and Cox is Governor, there is nothing doing for a Republican com­ mittee, a fact which theShojip faction attributes to the apathy among the members. Human nature is put to some sev­ ere tests these, days, especially when the government is taking charge of so many things. The other day we heatnS two ,prominent farmers dis­ cussing the action of congress in passing legislation that (enabled, the president to give one man power to fix prices o f certain lines. The situ­ ation' was likened unto the kaiser and •his manner of doing things in Ger­ many. “ What right had any man to set the price o f wheat and hogs,” these men .argued But there must be some grounds for this faction when both of these good men wanted to see the government, take x*ver the coal mines i f necessary to fix a lower price to coal consumers.
