IN the interest of economy and in

this plan to the nations. Instead of
going to war with each other let each
OF the nations select a committee on
elimination, whose duty it shall be TO
eXterminate a certain proportion Of
the population and destroy a certain
percentage of the property of the
people. In this way,if thought desir-
able, the elimination of politicians
could be limited TO misfits and other
undesirables and the destruction of
property to that belonging to people
who are getting too rich, and public
buildings, art galleries. movie shows
and churches could be saved

press that this country has a per cap

CARD FROM WILLIAMSON.

| wish to call your attention to a false
article sent you by correspondent here.
It was published in the Times on July %.

gard to check: "The rebate of $4O5 from
the powder company was first suspected
and indicated by former county engineer.

of the investigating committee, followed the
clue thus furnished and succeeded lii OBJ

til Sunday before circuit court in Benton.
The signature of my name to the check is
forgery. 1t could not be positive evil
dence of my guilt, as it was placed there
by some one unknown to me and without
my knowledge or consent.

A WOMAN'S PRAYER

Selected
0 Lord thou knOwest every need of mine,
Hell me to bear each cross and not
rcpine;
Grant me fresh courage every day,
Help me to do my work Away
Without complaint!
Oh Lord, thou knowest well how dark the
way,
Guide Thou my footsteps, Leaf they stray;
GiAe me fresh faith for every hour,
Lest should ever doubt Thy power,
And make complaint!
Give me heart, o Lore, strong to endure,
Help me keep it simple, pure;
Make me unselfsh, helpful, true
In every act whate'er do,
And keep content!
Help me to do my woman's share,
Make me courageous, strong to bear
Sunshine or shadow in my life;
Sustain me in the daily strife
To keep content!

"PEG o. MY HEART"

The Great American Comedy Of Charm.
Given at tho Lyceum Festival.
On the first day Of the Lyceum Fes-
tival Miss Mary Agnes Doyle will pre-
sent "Peg O. My Heart" Miss Doyle
has had great success upon the stage
and In the portrayals of character.
She has always been heartily welcomed.
Her voice is pleasing and Irish brogue
delightful. Her facial expression is
especially suited TO this character, as
she possesses an unusually attractive
smile. Miss Doyle's talent for her
work is shown particularly in the
changing of her expression, voice and
manner when she turns from the cold,
exacting, supercllious Englishwoman;
the weak, "blg headed" mercenary
young Engllshmas the Indifferent
cynical daughter, Ethel; the true gem
tleman, Jerry, and then back to Peg.

The program Of the Lyceum Festival
which Is to be held In our town Is un-
der the auspices of the Chautauqua
Association Of Pennsylvania. This as
sociation was organized four years
ago and has been holding Chautauquas
and Lyceum Festivals in more than
300 towns during the past year. The
Lyceum Festival Is sometimes called
Three Day Chautauqua and is GUS
tomariy held IN smaller towns than
are the full Chautauqua programs Of
seven days. The talent, however, that
IS provided is up TO the same high
grade as that provided on the larger
program and wherever held has given
most excellent satisfaction. The season
tickets are sold mt a surprisingly low
rate, and one feature upon the program
is well worth the season ticket price.

ners, knew well the desire of an Amer
lean audience. The play Is undoubt-
edly the triumph of the decade. 1t is
sweetness and cleanliness that have
enhanced its wonderful popularity. 1t
Is n comedy of charm. The story deals
with Peg the daughter of an improvi-
dent but lovable lIishInan, and an
aristocratic Englshwoman, on whom
her relatives turned their backs when
she set out for America with the hus-
band of her choice. BY the will Of
one of Pegs uncles. who reperted on
his deathbed his unkindness toward
his sister. the little Irish maiden is
brought to England to be properly
reared at the expense of his estate.
Peg is received into the family of an
aunt, not from love, but for the sake
OF the money that her care and in
struction would bring. Her treatment
is hardly that Of favorite relative.
She finds little to make life pleasant.
They dislike her, but Peg holds her
own with jaunty pride, and In the end.
by her generosity and big heartedness,
she wins her fortune and, what's more,
very gallant lover. Her experience
as portrayed sets forth vividly the con-
trast between her rather uncouth man
ner and the stilted and conventional
ways of the English household.
Seldom does one have an opportuni-
ty Of hearing so fascinating an imper-
sonation of such delightful play.
The great appreciation for the play is
shown by the fact that 1t has the phe-
nomenal record Of having been given
00i consecutive times in New York.
