common to most modern tongues, fitted
to a simple, regular grammar that can

mastered in less time than It takes TO
acquire smattering of any national
language
Esperanto has been proven practs-
cal by ten world congresses, to which
several governments, including the
United States, have sent official repre-
sentatives. These congresses, which
have been held yearly since 1905, have
been attended by 1,0O0-4,00O delegates
from twenty to forty-hve countries. 1t
is the only international language
ever proposed that has become more
than a mere project
Esperanto is gaining ground tbs
world over and has before it a great
future 1t has over two hundred peri
odical publications appearing in an
parts of the world. 1t has a litera-
ture, translated and original. OF over

THE LADIES THANK ALL
WHO HAVE GENEROUSLY AIDED
Work Of Cleaning Up City Cemetery
After Storms Ravage, Aug. 3.

The Ladies of the Cemetery AS
sociation desire to eXpess their heart
felt thanks and appreciation TO all of
those, who, by single gift or joint
effort have contributed so generously
TO the fund for the restoration of the
Cemetery, after the ravsges caused by
the windstorm of August 8.
5 The damage was appalling and at
first the task seemed impossible but
thankskto the spontaneous and generous
answer to the appeal for aid, the de-
sired help has come, and come abund-
antly. About four hundred dollars
have been received and ACKNOWLEDGED,
in these through the kind
ness of the Capital. OF this amount
over hundred dollars has been spent
in clearing the ground and sidewalk,
and the work of trimming Ethe broken
limbs of the trees and removing un-
slightly trunks and uprooted stumps,
has been begun.
The Association will next take up
the restoration of stones, tablets and
monuments of those departed ones, who
have left no descendants to care for
these memorials and the balance will
be spent in sucn general restorative
work as seems to be desirable and
needed.
The sad havo: of the storm has
proved a true stimulus to giving,
which will ultimately, we trust, not
only completely restore the damage
done, but will tend to give the people
/ of ADnaDoIis generally a deeper in.
terst in this sacred spot. BY order OF
| the Association.

The personal welcome accorded
the Al, G. Field Minstrels each year
by their patrons Is one OF the influ-
ences that has maintained the unri-
vailed popularity OF this organiza-
ton. This bond OF friendship be-
tween performers and the public Is
in turn due to the keen insight OF
the manager. Al. G. Field.
In conducting his minstrel organ
ization, Mr. Field kept constantly in
mind that what the public wanted
just as In the days OF old. was this
same element OF personality. indiyid-

day 1t demands host OF them on one
program. whereas formerly one or
two such men were adequate. When
the tendency To bigness developed in
the amusement world. just as in
commercial circles. the Al. G.. Field
Mins,rels were expanded To this
measure, but at the sam. time the
quality of personality was never al
