S. | | B., of St. Michael’s monastery, | lof this city, departed Tuesday | morning for Conception, Mo., to | take part in the election of a new | abbot for Conception Abbey. St. The tenth anniversary pro- gram of the Ellison-White Ly- | ceum and Chautaugua Associa- | tion gives promise of being one! qualified to properly celebrate, this 1922 season—the tenth year | of Ellison-White service in the) West. The dates for the Cot- tonwood chautauqua are June; 15 to 19. In bringing the much discus- sed comedy “Turn to the Right,” to this city, Chautauqua is help- | ing materially in fulfilling its mission of community uplift, for, paradoxical as it may seem, | this great play is also a powerful | sermon that is weilding an in- fluence for good wherever it is given. It is the play of plays for American audiences — or audiences anywhere, in fact. it strikes home with everyhedy, for it has to do with the redemp- tion of a rather wild youngster, through the fine influence of an old-fashioned Christian mother. It’s the sweetest, most whole- some play of a decade and the Keighley Broadway Players will give a splendid interpretation of it with an exceptionally fine cast of players. The lecture list this year is particularly attractive, for the names of some of the best known and ablest platform stars of America add the finishing touches to a program that liter- ally sparkles with really inter- esting, worthwhile features. The | importance ond the worth of a strong lecture list was never more clearly emphasized than in the letter from President Hard- ing written in October last, call- ing upon the chautauqua lectur- ers of America to co-operate with hirg in the development of a sane public opinion in America. Ellison-White seem to have caught the spirit for they are sending a group of noted men with interesting, iystructive in- spiring, and yet sane, messages fe of vital import. Chancellor Bradford’s lecture appearance is in itself a noted event. He is one of the brain- iest, ablest and most eloquent speakers in America and he will give his great classie of the chautauqua platform, “This Way Up.” Also should be mentioned Arthur Walwyn Evans, admit tedly one of the lecture stars of the modern platform, sane, scholarly, brilliant; and Harold (Private) Peat will give “Intro- ducing your Neighbor,” a lecture full of sparkling wit and sound common sense. The entertainment and music list features some fine attrac- tions that will make their initial bow to Western audiences this season, and which will undoubt- edly win for themselves the un- stinted praise which has followed their recital work in the east. Chief among these should be mentioned the Steelman-Mar- riner-Taylor Trio, noted group of eastern artists; the Jugo-Slav Tamburicans, a distinct and most deligtful novelty in the orchestral line; the Batting- Mahler Duo, entertainers; A. Mather Hilburn, wig and grease paint artist; Margaret Garrison, dramatic interpreter. The electrical entertainment of the Glenn L. Morris Company is another unusual feature which promises to be intensely inter- esting. Infact there are so many good things in store that it is indeed difficult to pick on any one attraction for especial emphasis. A “real” assembly is promised and the “big brown top” will indeed be a busy place for six big, joyous days. REARRANGE SHOP. The South and Frick garage was this week rearranged, the! machine shop having been moved to the rear of the building, which now gives them twice the stor- age room for cars. Michael’s monastery is a branch of Conception Abbey, Conception Mo. The Rev. Fr. Philip Rug- gle plans on being gone about three weeks. The American Tribune, pub- lished at Dubuque, Iowa, in a re- cent issue contained the follow- ing article regarding the elec- tion of the new abbot: “Several months ago, the Rt. Rey. Abbot Frowin Conred, O. 5. B., of Conception, Mo., asked the Holy See to permit the election of a Coadjutor Abbot of Concep- tion Abbey, Conception, Mo., since his old age and ill health made it impossible for him to attend any more to his onerous duties. Lately Rome consented to the election and the Fathers at Conception selected May 10 as election day. On that day the 55 priests belonging to the abbey will assemble at Conception, or those too far away will appoint a prory, and will by a majority vote elect the one who during the life of Abbot Conrad will at- tend to the business to which the latter is unable to attend and who after the death of the pre- sent abbot will succeed him. Those priests of proper age and qualification are eligible who be- long to Conception Abbey or to any other of the five abbeys} connected with the Conception! Monastery, a total of 246 clergy- men. | First Abbot of Conception Abbey “Abbot Frowin was born on November. 2, 1833, in Switzer- land, joined there the Benedic- tine Order on August 15, 1853. was ordained priest Sept. 14, 1856. He came to Conception, Mo., on Sept. 18, 1873, where he started at once a monastery of his order. This monastery was on April 30, 1876, made a priory and Rev. Frowin Conrad its prior On April 5, 1881, Pope Leo XIII cted it into an abbey and ap- nted Prior Conrad its first As such he was blessed | and installed on June 29, 1881, by the late Bishop Hogan of Kansas City, Mo., then Bishop of St. Joseph, Mo. Since that time , Abbot Conrad worked constantly for the development of his foun- dation. For the last year or two, and especially within the, last three or four months his, health began to fail and he is now mostly confined to his bed, so that the election of a coad-| jutor became a necessity.” poi abbot. WELL RECEIVED. | The Cottonwood high school, dramatic club, which staged the Arrival of Kitty, at Winona, Saturday evening played before a crowded house, much to the satisfaction of the high school students. After the performance a dance was given by the Cottonwood orchestra which was also well attended. Many Cottonwood folks attended both the perform- ance and dance. The pupils of the Cottonwood high school, and Miss Baker, the director, wish to thank the peo- ple of Winona for the splendid patronage they accorded them. BUILDING NEW SCHOOL. Actual work on Greencreek’s new public school building, the contract for the construction of the same having been awarded in Fel ruary to Atkinson Bros., of Ferdinand for $6365, was com- menced the first of the week.

The building ; When completed will give Green- creek the finest rural school in the county. The trustees of the district. Messrs. Joe Hoffman, Anton Jansen and Leo Schu- macher, have taken a great deal of pains in seeing that the plans for the entire ildi: are modern in every respect. | TO INITIATE JUNE 18.
