Love without doubt Is one of the
greatest elements in our lives and re-
ligion is another. Which should come
first is the question that has destroyed
more happiness, broken more homes
and has been the cause of more misery
perhaps than any other that will ever
arise. 1t is this same question, which
the author F.. Marion Crawford, has
used for his greatest play, The White
Sister, which will be at the Grand
Monday, January 81, n night only.
A course in retail and agricultural
advertising will be given to students
of the college next semester under the
direction of Prof. Starring. 1t is ex-
pected that this course will help the
embryonic business man to figure on
advertising expenditures, to determine
what mediums to employ, and to con-
struct his advertisements. The import
ance Of advertising in local weekly
and daily papers and farm journals
will be enlarged upon, with practical
demonstrations in securing paying re-
suits. During the first half year the
department of commerce offered a
special course in agriculture and in
dustrial journalism. This course is in
tended to reach students how to pre-
pare industrial articles for publication
in farm papers as well as daily and
weekly papers. During the course
numerous articles written by students
have been published in reputable
journals.
There is a deluge of dramas on the
stage today that are called problem
plays. These dramatic offerings for
the most part deal with an unfortune
victim who through the wiles of the
william Is tricked into the Primrose
patch. There is a class who delight in
such a plot but for the most part the
laws which govern the conduct of wo-
men are i~rrevocable. These plays are
seldom finished when they are over to
use a paradox, and leave a bad taste.
While they are pungent and striking
still they are not the kind one would
care to take his wife, mother or sweet
heart to see. The White Sister which
comes to the Grand theatre for one
night, Monday, January 81, is as clean
as the name implies. 1t deals with
love as no other drama has ever dared.
The play is a triumph of righteousness
and commands the respect of every in
telligent and serious minded person in
America.
The annual meeting of the Library
Association, postponed on account of
