Owing to the universal interest
attached to the coming of Josef
IIofmann, and the inquiries for
tickets coming from outside towns,
this being his only date in Iowa,
it has been decided to place tick
cts on sale in advance of the re-
served scat sale. These tickets
can now be purchased at the Cen
trail Book Store, Blakeslce's Drug
Store, and of certain Penn College
students, who are canvassing for
their sale. There are only so many
seats to be had, so in order to be
sure of ticket, you should pur-
chase in advance. These tickets
can be exchanged for reserved
seat tickets at Blakeslee's Drug
Store on or after Tuesday, Novem-
Der S, at 900 o'clock, when the
board will be opened for the reser-
walton of these seats only. For
parties not holding these tickets
the reserved seat sale will open at
Blakeslce's Drug Store the next
day, Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 300
o'clock. a
You can thus see that it is to
your advantage to buy tickets in
advance, for in addition TO the ear
lier reservation, you are certain
of seat, as when tickets are all
sold, the sale will be closed.
Numbers will be given out Tues
day morning, November 3, at 500
o'clock, to those holding the adj
vance tickets Board open at 300.
To those not holding advance sale
tickets the board will open at 900
o'clock Wednesday morning, Nov.
9Th.
Reservations in each case limit
ed to six to one person at one
time.

musical artists,is visiting her homo
here in Oskaloosa at this time, and
writes as follows concerning josef
Hofmann:
Oskaloosa, Ia, October %, 1907.
With great pleasure | note that
the world-famed pianist, josef
Hoffman,, is really coming to Os-
kaloosa, November IL. Having
heard him, can assure you that
this city and vicinity will have
the rare privilege of hearing one
of the worlds most famous plan
lists. He seldom, If ever, appears
in the smaller cities, therefore, no
one, whether musician, student, or
layman, can well afford to miss
this opportunity josef Hofmann
possesses wonderful technique and
great personality. He knows the
piano absolutely. He transforms
it into a living, speaking thing.
Would that all might hear this
genius.

has been made to the Black Mesa
Forest Reserve IN Arizona by a
Presidential proclamation. which
makes the total area of that res

reserves northern boundary, ex-
tending west from the New Mexi-
co line to Chavez Pass and is in

of agricultural lands will not be
hindered, such land being open
to homestead on application to
the forest service. Mineral claims
may be developed the same as if
