In fact, they are of such a high ,class that no town could afford to se- cure these artists or have the priv- ilege of seeing and hearing them out - .side of a Chautauqua or some such organization. The cost of an adult ticket for the series of nine entertain- ments given was $2.20, less than 25c a performance. ' Yet, in spite e; this fact, the 'Chautauqua has not proved a financial success. This want of success could, p"oeah- ly be traced to two or three main rea- rsons. One was the impfession in the minds of many citizens that the Chautauqua was placing all the fin- ancial risks on the town and not as- suming any themselves. Another was that the sum demanded as a guar- antee was too much money to leave the town without the town receiving any benefit from it. Both these reasons present an argu- ment, but the essence/of truth is not very strong in either one of them. The Canadian Chautauqua is a busi- ness organization with a very large capital invested. And like any other corporation or manufacturing con:ern would or could not venture into a town 'without a guarantee of some kind from that town, that its venture would not prove a failure. It is true that the money taken out of town by this company amounted to a considerable sum, but that it left nothing is a very debatable question. It depends entirely how one looks at i\lr. and 'Mrs. R. B. Holmes, of De- troit, are spending a week with rel- atives hero.

For instanee:\Seaforth has more and better paved'~ streets than any town in Huron county. Because these pavements cost a very large sum of money every cent of which went to the out-of-town contractor who laid them, would any one say the town re- ceived or receives no material ad- vantage from them? In like manner, if one considers the opportunity of acquiring an education an asset to a town, the opportunity of seeing and hearing the best actors that the stage, the concert and lecture platforms of Canada produce, must in that light, be considered -a very great DUBLIN asset to the town, where they are Notes.—Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gib - brought to the door of every citizen son and children, Mr, Louis Crawford for $2.20.

There is a dollars and cents side to the question too, dollars and cents which the people of a town pass un by not getting behind opportunities of this kind. One does not have to go very far on Main Street to hear complaints about people going out of town to buy this, that and the other thing. People do not go to other tow -ns than their own without some inducement, whether it be the induce- ment of pleasure or imagined profit. The Chautauqua.•eould be made a very great inducement for the people of the country to visit this town. That this is a fact, was amply demonstrat- td by the number of people from the country and other towns and villages who attended the entertainments of this week. In fact it was largely the people from the country who made the Chautauqua the success it was, while the people of the town, through either lack of foresight or from indifference, prevented it from being the success it should have been. THE CROPS 'Spring was late. In fact seeding was two or three weeks behind the u.--- ual time and there was much pessi- niism in the air.
