LYCEUM COURSE SECURED
Attractions Will Be Given Under
Auspices of Dallas College and
Company III.

DR.. G. A. Mock returned from Port
land, Tuesday evening, where he COM
pleted arrangements for the Lyceum
Entertainment Course to be held in
Dallas this winter The first number
in the course, the famous lecture of
Thomas r. Hopkins, of Chicago, on
''The Golden Fleece" will be given at
Woodman Hall, Saturday evening,
October II.
The course given last year did not
prove entirely satisfactory to the peo-
pie of Dallas nor the faculty Of the
college, under whose auspices it was
given, and Dr. Mock refused to enter
into contract this year until he had
gone to Portland, seen the manager in
person and secured from him an
agreement that every number in the
course should be given exactly as
scheduled and in case of failure to
fulfill this agreement, the manager of
the course should make himself
personally responsible for the loss.
The course will be put on this year
under the auspices of both Dallas Col
lege and Company H., o. N. G. and
these two institutions are to divide the
proceeds.
Other numbers in the course which
will follow Mr.. Hopkins lecture are
the entertainments by German, the
world famous magician, the Dunbar
Bell Ringers, lecture by George r.
Greene, of Boston, on 1.-THE Gospel of
Discomfort, and musical entertain
ment by company Of skilled singers.
The cost of course tickets will be $3.50
and tickets to single entertainments,
rs cents.

A fellow up in Chicago who admits
to the name of j. Ham Lewis, recently
came out and said that woman
doesn't know the value of an oath.
Now I see that he denies having
alluded to woman in the general sense !;
he says he meant some women, but
not all women. That was very wise
hedge on Mr.. J. Hams part. because
had he made his remark so sweeping
rs he was first reported he might have
had more direct evidence to the con-
trary than he could use in his bust
ness. understand that Mr.. J. Ham
is a lawyer and that he is not con-
nected with the stock-yards in any
way. Well, whatever his calling, he
can go out and lay bets on one thing !:
viz, that woman knows the value of
good ham and bacon ami she can tell
the other kind. Oregon hams are
sold in the East and Eastern hams
are sold in the West but there's more
smoked meat comes out of Armour
dale, Kansas, than all of Oregon and
to give those fellows their due they
know how to raise corn, fatten hogs
and smoke hams. And we know how
to boil them and put the wafer edge
on your ham or bacon, 80 never mind
where it's raised 80 long as it's right.
Hams are lower.

without thinking Of the great good

from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose rad

HOW He HAS
MADE A SUCCESS
L. T. Cooper Tells Chicago Reporter Why
He Accomplishes So Much,

No man In recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than l.. T. Cooper. During his
stay in Chicago, and while he was
meeting thousands of people daily, he
gave the following reason for the re-
markable demand for his medicine to
reporter:
Mr.. Cooper said: my New Discov-
cry is successful because it correets
the stomach. My theory is that few
can be sick if the digestive apparatus
is working properly. 1t naturally fol-
lows that few can be well with poor
digestion.
Il know from experience that most
of the tired, ha1f-sick people that are
so common nowadays have half-sick
stomachs. Put the stomach in shape,
and nature does the rest. The result
is general good health. My medicine
does this. That is why fifty thousand
people here in Chicago are using it
who never heard of me until a month
ago"
Among the fifty thousand mentioned
by Mr.. Cooper who used his medicine
in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pflueger, liv-
ing at 1908 Ainslie Avenue. This is
the statement she makes concerning
her experience with the medicine:
Il have been sick for six years with

is THE UNION IN JEOPARDY

From its very beginning, the Farm
ers' Union has been opposed to politi-
cal entanglements.
That is one pitts carndinal principles.
1t has so far succeeded in doing so,
although it appears that there is some
one or some power that is endeavor-
ing to drive in political wedge that
unless prevented, will split the Union
into factions that will ruin the in
huenee of the organization.
The Farmers Union has become a
power in Arkansas and the South, and
this is due to the fact that it has es-
chewed politics.
No one can believe that only one or
any interest purely political controls
the Union membership, or any consid-
cradle part of it, to such an extent
that it can be sold and delivered.
If this were possible, the day of the
Unions usefulness would be passed.
individual political independence
has been the key to the Unions sue
cess thus far, and this must not be de-
MED the membership if the Union
would continue to WELD an influence
for mutual good.
As soon as an organization becomes
polical machine it will be manipu-
lated by machine politicians for fac
tional ACKNOWLEDGMENT and personal
cat's-paws, and its original mission is
lost.
The Farmers Union is facing acrisis
in Arkansas, and its officers must see
to it that it is met manfully and en-
phatically.
The officers have denied all charges
of political connivance, and one goes
so far that he will notNvisit the head
quarters of candidate who is his per
sonal friend, for fear his motives vii
be misconstrued.
All charges brought against the Tn
ion that it has been "sold' have beer
refuted, but limitations continue to b,
made that it is for sale like SO man.
cattle that may be driven into tn
shambles of the purchaser.
1t is this insidious insinuatiol
against the integrity of the organiza
ton that must be resented.
