And the committee authorizes the statement that the entertainment will be we'll worth the price of admission, which means that those purchasing tick cts will receive full value for their money besides assisting very worthy cause.
 The entertainment will be held at the Coliseum next Friday night and will be followed by dance. for which an addi- tional charge will be made to help swell the fund which is being raised for the crippled watchman.
