which grows the diastase in the grain

CHAUTAUQUA SECRETARY'S REPORT

The Circle met in regular session last
Sunday afternoon, with one member alb
sent.
After roll cali. there being no unfinished
first matter before the Circle was an cleo
ton to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of the vice-president. DR.. Phil
NJ. one of the Circles most valuable
members, was nominated for the Office and
nomination being made and carried was de-
clared elected by reclamation.
The Critics term expired with this meet
ing, and the Pres. appointed Mr.. c. H. S,
for the ensuing two months. Appointment
was approved by the Circle.
Three applications for membership in the
Circle were received and approved, and the
new members will be seated at the next
meeting,
Mr.. ]. M. moved that the Circle drop
the practice of answering roll-call by giving
quotations, on the ground that too much
time was consumed in this way. After
considerable discussion, the motion went to
vote, but failed to carry.
On the motion of Mr.. J. S., the Circle
voted to extend to the prison Mirror it's
sncerest thanks for the new edition of the
constitution and bylaws of the Circle, Just
received from the Mirror press. Each
member is now supplied with copy of the
Constitution and Bylaws, and it is hoped
that the order of the meetings will be much
improved from now on.
Program for the day was a continuation
ceding regular meeting of the Circle. Dis
cussion was lively but centered largely
around minor points. The most encour-
aging feature was the number of members
who participated, nearly every member
taking part The officers of the Circle
hope that every member will respond in all
discussions before the Circle in the future,
as it is in discussing the topics brought be-
fore the Circle that the greatest benefit
from the meetings is to be derived. Mem
bers should not be backward about getting
on their feet. The meetings are for the
Circle as whole. not for any clique or
coterie, and every member is earnestly re-
quested to give the Circle the benefit of his
studies and his views of all topics before
the meetings.
There being no papers on the the pro-
gram, the Critics report was brief.
Announcement of the program for the
next meeting was made. Papers to be
read on Dec. 18th will deal with Mexico,
and all members are earnestly requested to
come to the meeting prepared to make dis
dussion of the papers read lively and inter-
esting.

THANKSGIVING SHOW
By III. s. Med.

Thanksgiving morning the inmates of this in
stitutiOn were given an exceptionally fine enter
tainment by The Buresque Operating Co. of New
York, presenting vaudevie's greatest entertainer,
Ben Welch, and his new show in a musical
burlesque.
Mr.. WEIGH company filling weeks en-
gagement at the Star theater, ST. Paul, and decid-
ed to come out on Thanksgiving and show US how
things are done in the CITY,
To say that the show was appreciated would be
putting it mildly, for from the rising to the drop
ping of the curtain there was almost continual
applause.
The prison orchestra, under the direction of
Prof. Schmidt, played the march to which the
audience filed into the auditorium. They then va
Gated the orchestra pit and their place was taken
by the Star theater orchestra which accompanied
the show from St. Paul. They rendered two we'll
applauded selections before the actors were ready
to proceed with the show.
The first Oh the program was the Misses Har-
rison, Howard and chorus, who were received by
a hearty clapping of hands, Mr.. WEIGH in his
capacity as Jew and an Italian was scream"
and assisted by Pat Kearney, Frank p Murphey,
Vic Casmore and others he kept the audience in
an uproar of laughter.
Florence Rother in her character of Mile.
Bromo, who also made a great hit with the
audience was loudly encored.

Mabel Howard and chorus captured the hearts
of all with their excellent songs
Owing to the fact that we did not have pro-
gram during the show, must pass some of
the program for fear of mentioning some who
were not on the stage, and we regret that such
omissions are necessary.
The Loving Dance Man" by Minnie BUD
Harrison and chorus was also greatly appauded
by those present.
Ben WEIGH in his speciality showed that he is
masterhand behind the footlights and his witty
words found speedy favor among the boys"
The finale, by the entire company was the
GROWING feature of the forenoons entertainment,
and one and all were sorry that the fun was over
Before closing, we wish to extend the heartfelt
thanks of all to Mr. Kirk, Mgr. Star Theatre the
ladies and gentlemen of Mr.. Welch's company, who
with thoughts of kindness and goodwill gave up
large part of their Thanksgiving day in order to
bring cheer and happiness, so far possible, to
the hearts of the unfortunate ones herein confined
We assure them that long will they be remem-
bered by us for the excellent entertainment they
gave. And, in closing, wish them a right
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. and
may their successes be numerous for many years
to come

LET US HOPE IT is NOT TRUE

The St. Paul Dispatch has the following to say
anent the Belgian situation:
There is no confirmation of the assertion
originating in Holland and coming down through
unfriendly channels. that Germany has levied up
on Belgium war indemnity of $75,OOO,OOO and
an additional 81, OOO,O 900 monthly during the war
for the maintenance of her troops. Therefore,
what might be felt and said upon proposal which
certainly will shock and startle the civilized world,
will depend upon the verifcation or the accepted
denial of the assertion.
''What will most concern us will be the effect of
such tremendous and crushing imposition upon
sentiment and action in the United States. This
country, divesting itself of all war partially and
responding only to the cry of humanity, has sent
and still is engaged in sending relief to Holland.
Germany itself returned thanks for the American
assistance and Minister Whitlock "renews" the
official German declaration that conditions in Bel
GUM represented
The situation then would be, if this war in
demnity were levied, that Belgium is utterly un-
able to feed and for her starving people; that
Germany recognizes the situation and thanks
America for relief; that knowing the situation,
Germany will exact 81, 600, 900 monthly and $75-
100000 more from people she admits is Deepen
dent upon the world for actual subsistence; that
neutral nations are appauded for sending to Bel
gium the living means which Germany will pro-
coed at once to take away from her.
1t is unnecessary to diate upon what civiliza-
ton and humanity will reply. All we can do is to
hope the German governor of the province of
Brabant has been misquoted and Germany has no
intention of asking America to give to Belgium
bread which she proposes herself to take out of
the mouths of the Belgian people"
