High School Literary Program.

The high school literary entertain
ment, which was given in the Audftori-
UNI on Wednesday afternoon, was one
of the best attended of any program
of the year.
This however, is easily accounted for
by the students extending an invita-
ton to the general public through the
columns of THE TIMES. The class Of
this entertainment will surely encour-
age the patrons of the school to attend
these exercises, which are given BIZ
monthly.
The program was opened by selec-
ton by the high school orchestra In
this selection the orchestra showed the
careful training they are receiving I'M
der the direction of Professor H N.
Nichols. The next number was the
High School Tattler," by Joseph Pee
eny.
Several of the students were much
surprised by the date which Joe has
secured, but all took it in good part.
The third number was Chalk talk
by Harry Timm. This consisted of in
cidents which had taken place in high
school, being illustrated on black
board.
The trombone and cornet Duet by
Professor Holiday and Leslie Camp
bell was excellent, the appreciation be-
ing shown by their being compelled to
respond to an enchore.
| The sketch by Misses Vera Krout and
Lucy Bartuska and James Mccormick
where There's a Will There's a Way
brought forth much applause.
| The theme Thanksgiving, by Ed
ward Bartuska, was followed by
reading by Edward Schaaf.
President Ben Gordon called upon Ell
sic Trowe for an extemporaneous talk
| Although much excited by being called
upon unexpectedly she got there jus
the same, by relating several of tn
| joys of Thanksgiving.
This was followed by vocal duet
by Miss Irma Krout and Walter Smith
The last number was a dialogue b,
Ben Gordon and Claude Humphreys
which made quite an impression b.
their excellent delivery.

Pleasant Leap Year Party.

The Thanksgiving celebration by the
Owl club consisted of a leap year par
ty gwen in their club rooms on
Wednesday evening. The affair was
entirely planned by the girls, the young
men being at a loss to know what was
in store for them. The main diversion
consisted of dancing, the music for
which was furnished by Hays orches-
ira.
The supper, which was served in the
club rooms. was an elaborate Thanks
giving efast.
The real surprise of the evening was
when Frank b. Lewis, president of the
club. was presented with a beautiful
set of cuff buttons, set with diamonds.
The presentation speech was made by
Mrs. James E. Twitt, after which Mr..
Lewis responded, thanking the ladies
for their kindness.
The president was the recipient of
this beautiful gift because of his ever
thoughtfulness of the fair sex. The
Owl club is purely mems club, but
since Mr.. Lewis became president about
a year ago he has planned so many
social affairs in which the ladies could
| participate and could also enjoy the
| splendor of these beautiful quarters
Their hearty appreciation of his
kindness has now been proven to him

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
jnfiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is moth
ing but an infan'ed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should he taken when
painting buildings or implements which
are exposed TO the weather, TO have the
paint applied properly. No excellence
Of material can make up for careless
ness OF application, any more than care
in applying it ear make poor paint
wear well.
The surface 70 be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered hard
and smooth. Pure white lead should
be mixed with pure linseed oil, fresh
for the job, and should be well brushed
out, not flowed on thick. When paint
ing is done in this manner with MAJ
tional Lead Company's pure white lead
trade marked with "rhe Dutch Boy
painter') there is every chance that
the job will be satisfactory. White lead
is capable of absolute test for purity.
National Lead Company, Woodbridge
Building, New York, will send a testing
outfit free TO any one interested.
