SPLENDID LYCEUM
COURSE SECURED.

It may not be known generally By
the public that months ago, during
the booking season, a splendid series
of Lyceum attractions was secured
for the Branch Agricultural College,
at this place. The better class Of en-
tertainments are secured through
responsible Lyceum bureaus, who
route their attractions through the
territory in as economical way as pos
sible, thus giving opportunity for ev-
try town which takes pride in the
Community uplift to secure the best
Of attractions. Thus the young peo-
pie Of our community, and citizens
generally may, during the fall, winter
and spring months, hear the best in
music, art, public speaking and enter
tainment, which is always clean and
uplifting. Scarcely town with any
pride or ambition along these lines
can be found on the map these days
but what conducts either a Lyceum
course during the fall and winter or
Chautauqua during some one week
in the summer, or both. In fact nearly
every town has a Lyceum course,
whether they have a Chautauqua
course or not. This could not be said
of the west few years ago, but the
western towns are coming to the
front in these matters, the same as
all over the east, and it is with no
little pride that the committee has
selected an unusually good course for
this season.
AS the attractions appear from
time to time, announcements will be
made of the particular kind of pro-
gram and their rank and standing as
big Lyceum attractions.
The attention of the public is called
at this time to the attractions and
their dates of appearing here, and all
will do well to stand by this public
enterprise with their patronage in
every way possible.

Large Initial Payments on Homes

That the buyers Of moderate priced
homes in Washington are making
larger initial payments now than what
formerly was the case is the belief of
Charles P. Stone of the firm of Stone

Recently we completed the sale of
a row of seven houses on the monthly
payment plan." said Mr.. Stone yester-
day. 'The houses brought s4,500 each
and the initial payments made by the
purchasers averaged more than $1,000.
The initial payment in one instance
was $500. but in the remainder the

Roads of the Future.

From the Countryside Magazine and Suburban Lire.
We undertake great conquests OF en-
cheering, over mountains and across
rivers and through the morasses; but
at last we shall call on the engineer
for the greatest conquest of all-how
to divide the surface of the earth SO
that it shall yield US its best on the
easiest grades,- in the most practicable
way. that we may utilize every piece
of land to the fullest advantage.
This means new division and
nerhaps a. redistribution of lands, In
such a way that the farmer Will nave
his due proportion of hill and OF Vaiiey,
rather than one shall have all Vaiiey
and another all hard-scrabbie on the
hill or all waste land in some remote
nlace 1t means that there Will be on
each holding the proper relation OF till
cd land. and pasture land and forest
land and that the outlets for the farm
AZ and his products will be the readiest
and the simplest that it is possible TO
make. 1t means that some roads Will
he abandoned entirely, as not worth the
cost, and society will make way 1or
farmers living on impossible farms to
move to other lands. 1t means that
there will be no back roads. for they
will be the marks of an undeveloped
society. Much of the old farm division
will pass away, being uneconomical-
The abandonment of farms is In some
cases a beginning of the process. but
II is blind and undirected.A Our educa-
tional effort is at present directed to-
ward making the farmer prosperous on
his existing farm, rather than to belp
him get a farm of proper resources
and with proper access. As time goes
on, we must reassemble many of the
land divisions. If each man is to have
adequate opportunity to make the most
effective application of his knowledge,
the best use of himself, and the great
est possible contribution to society.

The Attractive Yard.

One should always remember that
the exterior of a home is equally as
important as the interior. 1t is seen
first and last and by all the passing
public. So whether your home be old
or new, small or large, an attractive
yard takes the leading part in making
the charming home, says the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer. Such a place will
not only give you greater satisfaction,
but will rent for more. sell for more,
and command a larger loan.

the German general staff was anxious
to dispatch to Russia.
AS a matter of fact the numbers
transported to the eastern front have
been very moderate.
OF the fifty-two army corps which
faced US on the western front, Ger
many has only been able to take four
and one-half corps for the eastern
ditfons-the rain, mud and mist-were
such as to diminish the effectiveness
of offensive operations, and to add to
the costliness of any undertaken.
which was another reason for post
poning them. Still another reason lies
in the fact that from now on the allied
forces can count upon steadily ex-
panding growth, equally in point of
numbers and units as of material. while
the German forces have attained the
maximum of their power and can only
diminish now, both in numbers and In
value. These conditions explain the
character of the siege warfare, which
the operations have assumed during
the period under review.
Meanwhile 1t is by no means the case
that the siege warfare has had the
same results for the Germans as for
US. From November Is to February

considerable quantity of heavy artil-
lery, directed his effort at first upon
the coast and the country to the north

testify the capture of Dunkirk. then of
Calais and Boulogne, and this objec-

On October 20 the Belgians along the
railway line from Nieuport to Dixmude
were strengthened by a French di-
vision. Dixmude was occupied by our
marines (fusiliers marins). During the
subsequent days our forces along the
railway developed a magnificent re-
sistance against an enemy superior In
number and backed by heavy artillery.

the canal and the railway line spread

Warlike Qualities Of the Race.

1t must be remembered also that,
thanks to the Intellectual and physical
development Of the generation now serv-
ing with the co.ors; and. thanks, above
all, to the warlike qualities Of tho race
and the democratic spirit Of the army. we
have been able to draw upon the lower
grades, and even upon the rank and file
for of1cers. Many men who began the
war August as privates now wear the
officers epaulettes. The elasticity of our
regulations regarding promotion in war
time. the absence of the spirit of caste
and the friendly welcome extended by all
officers to those Of their military interiors
who have shown under fire their fitness
to command have enabled US to meet all
requirements.
The state of our infantry cadres jan
uary 15 was very satisfactory and much
superior to that of the German in
fantry. On an average each of our
regiments has forty -eight officers. fn-
cluding eighteen regular officers, If
teen reserve officers and fifteen nom
commissioned officers. In each regi-
ment six OF the twelve companies are
