again civilization moved westward,
dwelling for a time in the peninsula
OF Spain and then taking her flight
across the great Atlantic to the Amer.
lean shores. Here she has seemed con-
tent to dwell. but how long, many we
claim her companIonshIp? What made
her leave the nations of the East!
Will she be content to stay with US un-
less we show higher development OF
character than have these nations of
the East? Here is food for thought.
Are we progressing in our develop
ment or character or are we failing?
Is the young man of l6 to 20 IN our
American cities, safer specimen
with whom to trust our liberties than
the young man of like age seventy
five years ago? If he is not what is
the reason for it? Are we safe guard
ing those qualities that make for civil
llzatlon or are we permitting our man
of the future to develop into moral
weakling? Where does the RESPONSE
bIity lie? If it is ours do we accept
it? Will we take the necessary step
forward to make that character posi-
BILE in our manhood that can be safely
entrusted with our destinies? The lec-
ture from beginning to end was poem
of eloquence and thought and those
present sat spellbound for the hour and
a quarter of the lecture.
The small attendance was rather a
sad commentary on the ability of our
townspeople to appreciate things of
culture and especially on those teach
ers. who were given the day from their
schools to at end the institute, but who
preferred a picture show to such
feast of thou. ut. The Country Life

If results the Dayton visitors will
be entertained in such manner

SYMPHONY CLUB
COMING SOON

Too much praise cannot be Civ
en- the Yerington Woman's Club
for engaging the Schubert soloists
Of Chicago to appear here on Jan
uary 9th, at the Rink Hall. These
artists are too we'll known in all
the principal cities of the North
American Coiit:nent to need any
introduction to readers OF The
Times. Although it may be we'll
to freshen the memories OF some
by adding that the Symphony
Club was in Yerington three years
ago and crowded house was the
outcome.
The Daily News OF Denver
has the following to say:
1t is rarely, indeed, that Den
yer is favored with such superb
vocal execution and instrumental
as well. When it is said that the
work of the Schubert soloists Is
beyond criticism, the simple truth
is told"

DRAMATIC CLUB
ENTERTAINMENT

The Star Comedy Company, a
newly organized dramatic club,
will give its initial performance
on Friday evening, January 18th.
Rehearsals have been in progress
for some time under the direction
OF Bertram Hill, and we feel con-
fident in saying that their enter
tainment will prove up to the
standard. Several members OF
the club have never been seen be-
fore the footlights in Yerington,
and some surprises may well be
expected. The clubs first enter
tainment will be in the nature OF j
benefit for our Yerington Band
who are worthy OF little public
support and encouragement. The
show promises to be good one
and the cause worthy. so we trust
the public will be liberal with
their patronage.
