of perfect tone recreation was quite

Mr.. Edison's new musical instru

medium by which these re.creations
were played.
This demonstration was secured for
Bryan people by Z. F. Parks & Co.
local dealers for the new Edison dia

Of their appreciation and this popular
house is to be commended for secur

the music-lovers Of Bryan. Owing to
the limited seating capacity Of the
Colonial, admittance by card only was
made necessary, and this firm made
an earnest effort to reach all Of
their friends who they thought would
be interested and would desire to at
tend. This was another progressive
move and one that was highly appre
ciated by all the local people.

"LooKING nAcN FROM FIFTY

The world, that II the people who
lived on this old earth, owe a great
deal to the optimists. A half hour
spent with one who can see the bright
side OF things can remove doubts
aud distresses caused by hours with
a pessimist
Il takes good liver aud clear
conscience To mark a real optimist,
and certainly such person is George
AIDE. whose Looking Back From
Fifty In February's American will
cure the worst ease of blues.
One cannot help, while reading the
observations OF MIR. AIDE, whose Fab
les in Slang, opened his way to fame,
being thankful that he is on earth
just at this time when so many things
are happening amiss once in a
while to be reminded that things
which We regard as commonplaces
today were unheard OF only a few
years ago.
As real estate booster Mr. AIDE
reaches the third degree in pic
turesQue manner when he describes
the old pools and hower-cOyered
prairies OF his home county that are
now replaced by S25O per acre farms
But Mr.. AIDE reaches his brightest
pinnacle as an optimist describing how
living conditions have been improved
during the past half century, One is
constrained TO believe after reading
the recital OF changes that; Looking
back from fifty, it seems that every
year has been kicked full of dust by
our efforts To improve physical con
ditions." No less inspiring is his fin
al observation, There is more broth
erhood of man at large than ever be-
fore. That is my conclusion, looking
back from dfty. war or no war"
