was b full day. The stockholders meet
ing which did Lot do anything but talk
made progress. 1t has come to it's
senses when it realizes that stockholders
must contribute to the annual current
receipts Of the association for q few
years or the association will 60 under.
The moral obligation OF the corporation
not to assess its individual members be-
cause they were obtained under certain
promises Of exemption does not have
much weight in view of theI fact that
these stockholders are themselves part
Of the association which makes such
promises. They certainly have the right
and privilege to vote new conditions up
On themselves il they want to in order
to save their own property and what
they have already put into it. And
then, there is Istill the greater obligation
Of paying the debts they, as an a~ssocia-
ton, owe to others. The discussion yes
terday took the rightotreEd and it follow
ed up in the recommendation Of the
committee today a. 3 p. M, may lead to
something substantial being done. 1t is
almost a ~foregone conclusion that all
persons holding stockholders tickets will
have to pay full admission rates on Tai
mage Day to make sure of meeting cur
rent expenses this year.

1t was again attempted to settle the

combination
ENTERTAINMENT
was given by the Artistic company, Ada
Heist and Chorus club all under the d.
~rection of Prof. Lee G. Kratz. The
chorus sungf'D Daylight is Fading" Leslie;
"How lovely are the Messengers" from
St. Paul and 1.-THE Radiant Morn hath
Passed Away" Woodward. The chorus
is certainly showing the results of hard
training to a successful degree. Miss
Gilmore's singing, Miss Erwin's reciting
Of "Dr. Sewer" by Geo. w. Gable and
Miss Buffers violin playing were highly
appreciated, but the attraction of the
evening was Ada Heist, who in her PAN
tomine Of "Nearer My God to Thee" to
the soft singing Of the chorus club, was
a graceful and beautiful scene. The aud
fence %applauded rapturously, but the
little lady only appeared again to make
her bow.
