PROMISES REAL TREAT

ING FORWARD To DELIGHT
FUL STAY HERE.
Chamber of Commerce Is Providing
Entertainment for Visitors ut
Trinity Normal School.

The students and teachers attend
ling Trinity summer school this year
have delightful surprise in store
for them. The management has
held for a long time that "all work
and no play makes Jack dull
boy" therefore an unusual effort
has been put forth to provide an
entertainment that is really worth
while to all the normal students.
To be sure the management of
Trinity normal would be almost
helpless in the providing of enter
tainment for the teachers were it
not for the loyal support of the citi-
zens of the town and especially the
Chamber of Commerce. The latter
organization treated the visiting
teachers last year so royalty that
many OF them are still talking about
the delightful time they had. But the
entertainment last summer will be
small indeed when compared with
that which will be furnished this
year
During the second or third week
of the session a reception will be
held at Elks' club or on the roof
This will give all students an OPP
portunity to meet each other and
at the same time to become ac-
quainted with the best citizens of
this town.
In addition to this reception a
delightful auto ride will be given
over the streets of Waxahachie and
several OF the many gravel roads
that surround the city. 1t is posi-
BILE that the ride may be extended
SO as to include trip to the neigh
boring city of Ennis.
One or two evenings during the
fifth or sixth week of the normal
will be given to a moving picture
party at one of our most excellent
moving picture theaters, at which
time the manager of the theater has
promised to show the teachers one
of the best films that money can
buy.
Moreover it has been fully decid-
ed that one big event will be held
at Chautauqua park, which is prob
ably the prettiest natural park in
Texas. On this occasion there VIII
be a watermelon feast by moonlight.
The farewell reception will be
given by the normal faculty at
Trinity University during the last
week, at which time a bounuful
supply of punch will be served and
delightful music will be furnished
by victrola.
Come to Trinity normal and sum-
mer school where you have the best
entertainment offered by any nor
nal in Texas. Do not forget the
opening date, Monday, June IL.

ascribed to their desire for equal
rights only as a means to the end OF
national Independent existence.
Instead of taking advantage OF
the new opportunity they had to be-
come lawful Ottoman citizens, they
established secret societies. made a
large revolutionary organization in
the country and distributed arms and
bombs among their members.
The first duty of every state is to
insure it's independence. Therefore
Turkey had to resort to all the
necessary measures for thi1 impor-
tant end.
Among the non-Turkish races Ar
menians were the nearest to the
Turks in regard to their spoken Ian
guage and social habits.
Several decades ago, when they
had not yet begun their revolution
airy activity, they enjoyed the full
confidence of the Turks, and they
were always called by the Turkish
press sour faithful fellow-citizens,
the Armenians.'
In abusing the confidence OF the
Turks, the Armenians went furthel
than the other christian races.
Especially, during the present
war, they did not shrink from open
treason, and tried to endanger from
within the existence of their coun-
try, which was engaged in a fight
for life or death at four different
fronts. with its powerful enemies,
and caused the new Armenian trou-
bles.
