MRS. GAMMAGE LECTURE

The people of Williams who at tended the Lectures given by Mrs. Gammage of Tucson on last Fri day afternoon and evening enjoyed a rare treat. It is not often that we have the privilege of hea.ing such a charming and lifted woman. She spoke on the temperance ques- tion and her argument for state and nation wide prohibition were convincing. Her knowledge of conditions as they exist here and elsewhere turnout the country, to- gether with the state and national statistics present d, were convln cling evidence of the great. need of an educated popular opinion for prohibition. Mrs. Gammagc has been in the field for some time, having helped in the state wide campaigns of Arkansas and West Virginia.
 We hope to have Mrs. Gammage with us again later in the summer. Her husband who is professor in our State University will join her in the work as soon as hls school duties are finished for the year.
 At the close of the lecture w. e. T. U. was organized with twenty charter members, and the following officers were elected. Pres. Mrs. Luther Stover, Vice Pres. K w. Williams, Sec'y. Mrs. Harold Green, Treas. Mrs. Ed. Kirwin.

The election for town officers last Monday was exciting from start to finish.

Three out of the four coun ilmen on the Non partisan ticket were elected. and two from the good government ticket make up the council. J. E. Gilson leads the five by a majority of eleven votes over his nearest competitor McD. Robinson. After Mir Robinson comes MT. Miller with 210 votes. H. M. Stark and Roy Watson tied for fourth place each receiving 180 votes. The election of town clerk was not as close as predicted, Mr.. Rittenho use receiving good ma jority. Charles Wade was elected town marshal by a vote of 1. 149, while Bobby Burns his nearest opponent received 119 and MT. Patterson the retiring. marshal re ceiving IA. MT.

deavor Union. The newspapers of Mel
bourne gave DR.. Sheldon's addresses
considerable publicity. The Sydney
Evening News ran a cartoon labeled.
Our Policemen as Missionaries" on the
occasion of DIR. Sheldon's visit to that
city. The ca loon in question is pro-
duceG herewith.
The announcement of the Sheldon Sc
ries in Melbourne had the following to
say about the famous Topeka clergy
man:
1.-The Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon. the
famous author. preacher. lecturer and
u. S. A., will hardly need introducing to
the Christian community of Melbourne,
for his books have been widely read in
Melbourne as in other parts of the
world. The great work he has accom-
plsshed in the temperance movement in
America, as the organizer of the Anti
Saloon crusade. has also givel. him a
worldwide reputation.
Mr.. Sheldon is paying Melbourne a
short visit. and will take the opportu-
nifty to deliver a series of lectures OF
addresses upon subjects which are o.
vital interest to the uplifting and we'll
beng Of all communities.
DR.. SEeldons subjects at Melbourne
included, 1.-The Value of a Man. and
THE Main Things in Life" DR.. Shell
don is preaching the doctrine Of right
eousness and the brotherhood of man
In the course of his address on 1.-The
Main Things in Life DIR. Sheldon de-
clared that there is great need on the
part Of the men and women Of the world
to form a federation Of Christendom
Another great thing would be to rut
off the map Of civilization two of the
worst things known-drink and lust, the
speaker continued. And the last i'm
portant thing, DR.. Sheldon said, would
be to procure peace among the nations
and the brotherhood of men.

FROM WAR ZONE
Novelty Actor Was in Moscow
When War Broke.
Tells Some of His Experiences
in Getting Home.

William Roberts and his dog Robert
who are putting on dramatic comedy
act at the Novelty theater in Topeka
this week have tasted Of the horrors
Of war and know what it means to be
across the pond when Europe decides
to stage a sure enough conflict.
Mr.. Roberts was at the Aquarium
theater in Moscow when war was de-
clared between Germany and Russia
the latter part Of July, and through
the assistance of Mr.. Smith. the Amer
lean consul, he succeeded in getting to
the border by riding in freight car
along with IS Russian soldiers. Mr..
Roberts states that it took 48 hours
to make this trip, and as he had no
food with him except biscuits for his
Robert. he was compelled to live on
them during the entire trip.
After reaching the frontier. he had
which the Austrians had previously
destroyed. Finally, however, after
undergoing many hardships. he sue
ceeded in reaching Lemburg and then
got to Berlin where a hotelkeeper
kindly gave him quarters and ad-
vanced him 100 marks with which he
finally reached the coast and crossed
the channel to British soil. Reaching
London. Mr.. Roberts was unable to get
passage to America, but in Liverpool
class ticket on the Olympic, having to
pay $3.50 for the ticket, which in times
Of peace he could have bought for
$3.50. Mr.. Roberts had money in the
Paris bank Of London with which to
pay for this ticket, but in order to
draw it out was compelled to pay
per cent interest to the bank.
On the trip over from London, Mr.. Rob-
erts says the lights were never lighted
and the passengers were forced to retire
at an early hour when the Statue Of
Liberty was finally sighted all the pas
sengers were mighty glad to know they
were again safe in American waters. .
said Mr.. Roberts.
The manager Of the Aquarium theater
AZ which Mr.. Roberts was showing when
he had to leave Russia, was an American
negro from Louisville, KY, who, in or
der to do business in Moscow. had taken
out naturalization papers and who, be-
fore Mr.. Roberts departure was notified
that his services were needed in the Rus
1tan ranks. Mr.. Roberts says he will not
90 back to Europe until he knows the
war IL over. His foreign engagements I'D
Z to January have already been cancelled.
Mr.. Roberts has been playing European
theaters for the past several years and
speaks seven different languages. He
says he hopes the Teutons will win the
war.
