Because the stock is a good sound sterling investment

Chautauqua, July 17-23.
The dates set for the Chautauqua at
Wingham this season will be, July 17 to
23rd. The date at first suggested was the
last week in June and it was decided, that
owing to the Old Boy's and Girl's Re -Un-
ion, being held July 1st to 4th, and also
the fact tbat if the Chautauqua came in
June, it would mean that school children
could not attend, as they would not be
free from their school work. An excellent
program will be given and those who
heard Mr. Frank Bohn give his address
on the German People and their customs,
will be pleased to know that he is again
scheduled to come to Wingham.
