NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Great Comedy Hit Made Famous by Wil lie Collier It Scheduled for Chautauqua
Patrons on Fifth Night
July 8 to 14 inclusive are the red
letter days for followers of the chau
tauqua assemblies conducted by the
Grande Roiidc Chautauqua associa
tion. Coining later, than usuil this
year, the assembly docs not conflict
with Fourth of July celebrations in
hjiv wav. and very probably will
dodge the early July showers which
sometimes annoy
That the numbers will be present
ed in the out-of-door auditorium at
Riverside oa'rk. the most wonderful
snot in Eastern Oregon, and the most
delightful setting for a chiutauqua in
the west with two exceptions, goes
without saying. It has become an
old story now, to hoar talent that
travels the length and breadth of the
land "rave" over Riverside park. Us
beauty this year Is unsurpassing and
the tender ministrations of Care Tak
er Thomas, backed by the limited
means of the park board have shown
the fruits of hard work and good fi
nancin'g. Program Is Balanced.
Individual opinions of what a chiu
.,....., nuuomhlv should be comprised
of, differ, but long experience and
study has determined the now recog-j
rtized fact that a ehaUtauq.ua platform1
nitist be the source 'of varied enter--talnment
And instruction. To overload
it with music would edify the musi
cian but would iir turn leave the ele
ment -fond of lectures completely in
the lurch. The reverse is true. To
present a program without at least
one day of novelty is another mistake.
To present a .program without drama
or. at least. light dram-i, would again
be a mistake. Hence scanning this
year's program one- finds that it is
well rationed. A.II the elements that,
go toward a well balanced chautauqu-i
are to be .found in the sr;vcn-day as-'
scmbly.
the descriptive literature of the
various'numhors will be found in this
issue, and the hour of their appear
ance may bel ascertained from the
program in epitomo published herewith.

Through the generous co-operation
of the Neighborhood club this year,
much of the detail work of an ardu
ous task is taken off the shoulders
of the directors. The. directors are
called to meet twice a week for n
coi Ulcrablo period of time before
the assemblies, and it is not empty
honor that goes with tho Job. But
Chautauqua fans will not stop at a
little work, for their hearts are in
the I'jurse and anything they may do
in that way is chargeable to commun
ity duty and it is done willingly by
all who compose the directorate. O. J-
Black is president and he is a Chau
tauqua booster from the sob of his
feet to the tip of bis scalp. I',. I',.

Peter Clark MacFarlane Coming
Noted Writer Is Spending Summer Months
on the Chautauqua Platform
To simply attend the chauUuqua
sessions is not the highest purposs of
the chautauqua movement. On must
bo a camper on tho ground to enjoy
tho fullest extent all that goes
with tJicso annual sessions. There ii
peculiarly fino enjoyment In sleep
ing 'nenth the towering eottonwoods,
andrising' early to enjoyUhe radiant
sunbeams as they spread their gold
en glow over tho greensward. The
facilities aro thereto be used by
campers, and in most any way that
pleases. Freo camping- space Is pro
vided for those who wish to bring
their own tents. The association hss
some tents already) Bet up which are
avuflable at a season, nd else trie
lights may bo installed in all tents at
very reasonable .rate. The asso
ciation tents however, are limited it
number and all who wish to rent
them should write to C. J. Black, La .
(irnndc, at once, and a tent will be
reserved for them. Like wise those
who wish to bring their own tents
should select their sites at the earl.
iest moment. , ,
The directors are especially de
sirous of having a big number camped
on tho ground. Those who ( are
camped there' get all the afternoon
programs, so generally mtaaed. ana
they get tho online attached to it.
Anyone in doubt sbokit tenting or hot '
tenting can always dk-clde the duestion
to good advantage J by deciding to
camp, nd seeing My. BUck about the
details. i . r
To be located early U always de
sirable. .'
Until financial affairs Permit
expenditure of approximately! a thou
sand dollars to build a heating sys
tem t tho park; electric stoves are
undesirable moans of cooking for
campers at tho grounds during the
chautauqua assermbly. Tho best way'
Is to use an oil Htove which rnost fam
ilies are suppUod with. ' The ' stoves
aro of courso ample for all necessary
conking on a camping expedition such
as this is. - - ;
Several times the directors have
tried to provide electricity for cook
ing purposes but the wiring system is
Inadequate to carry the load and the
plan has been abandoned until a bet
ter system is installed which at the
present time is out of the question.
Consequently prospective camper
rely on oil stoves for their cook
ing, tho' lighting plant Is onty
sufficient for lighting, and not for
cooking. . .'i ' . J
