The Radcliffe Chautauqua that comes August 6 means three afternoons and three evenings of Community Opportunity. Great lectures on great themes and rare musical treats and clean fun. You will not match it for Opportunity in many a day. Let's go. Just as truly it is a Community Responsibility. Solely for the benefit of the community, with no possible personal gain or even remuneration for all the strenuous work involved, 20 citizens obligated themselves for the whole expense. In their judgment it was just what the community, that really loves good things, would wish them to do. It can cost nobody more than two dollars to secure the entire program, unless our neighbors fail to realize the opportunity and responsibility and ask the twenty to foot the bills. In such a case it would cost each of the twenty many times two dollars. Let's go.

If the receipts exceed the expenses, as we very much hope they will, the proceeds will be devoted to the support of our District nurse. Let's go.

A very successful lawn party was held under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid on Rose Lawn on Tuesday. The place is ideal for a party and although the day was very warm the large trees made a comfortable shade. The various well-filled tables of aprons, candy mysteries, ice cream and cake as well as the delicious supper were well patronized and about one hundred and fifty dollars realized. The evening entertainment was very pleasing and the ladies wish to extend thanks to Miss Alice Howe of Exeter for kindly singing several solos and to all those who took part in "Japanese Elopement." A vote of thanks is extended to Mrs. Cash who so generously gave the use of her lawn and home for the party. Mrs. Ernest G. Cole had the general supervision of the party and to her efficient management much of the success is due.
