Miss Jessie Metcalfe of Glyndon,
Mimi, who has been teacnIns in
Idaho for the past year, returned
yesterday and will spend some time
there as the guest of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Metcalfe. Miss
Metcalfe has been touring the west
and Canada during the summer and
speaks Interestingly of the attitude
of the people of the two sections to-
ward the war. In the west there Is a
feeling Of gaiety and the people do
not seem to realize the serious posi-
ton of this country. In Canada, the
number of wounded men returning
daily has made its impression on the
people, and they are facing the crisis
with grim determination.

Second Lyceum
Number Oct. 3Oth

The truth of the proverb that lit
never rains but it pours" is again to be
demonstrated in the announcement
that. after dearth of entertainment
for several months. we are to have two
lyceum numbers within week.
The second one is Castelucci >
Neopolitan Orchestra and is scheduled
for next Tuesday. Oct. 30th.
The officers of the local association
have made every effort to have this
date changed in order that the at
fractions might come at more regular
intervals, but it simply couldn't be
done. The company is a high priced
organization. and their time seems to
be very much in demand, 80 that we
simply had to take them next Tuesday
or accept substitute, and no satisfac-
tory substitute could be found
This organization consists of eight
finished musicians. and promises to be
one of the strongest lyceum numbers
ever presented here.
The program offered by them is
varied and unique, consisting of en-
semble band numbers. in which the
company under Signor Castellucci' :
magnetic direction. produce the volume
of music usually found in a military
band of many times this size; xylophone
numbers; vocal solos, guitar duets
concert horn solos; violin numbers;
euphonium solos; ocarino quintettes; :;
impersonations of leading band masters
etc Variety is evidenced. not alone in
the arrangement of the program. but
as we'll in the music chosen which
ranges all the way from the most cele
brated grand opera and classic selec
tions to late popular airs, and patriotic
hymns and marches.

Chancery Court held that the district
was invalid, and Bennett appealed on
behalf of the district.
The district embraces more than
600, 600 acres. and the roads to be con-
structed approximate $50 miles through
Lincoln, Desha. Chicot, Drew and Ash
ley counties to the Louisiana line. The

The glow they were accustomed to
in her eyes concentrated itself into
flashes. and the flush that so often,
and so adorably, suffused her face,
burned brighter nov in her cheeks and
left the rest pale.
And these were true indi"es of the
changes that had taken place within
her. From sheer numb %incredulity,
She had reacted to II fine glow Of in

denly feeling lighter, older, indescrib-
ably more confident. They shouldn't

So the very next morning she strip

membered how many times she had
gone to him for help like that. and,
most notably, during the three or four
days Of an acute illness Of her moth
er's, when she had been brought face
to face with the monstrOus, incredible
possibility of losing her, how she had
chung to him, how his tenderness had
soothed and quieted her.
He had never come to her like that.
She knew now it was Il thing she had

night she'd have a chance! There was
Il mounting excitement in her, as the
hours passed-a thrilling suspense.
For two hours that afternoon, she
listened for his latchkey, and when
at last she heard it. she stole down
the stairs. He didn't shout her name
from the hall, as he often did.
He didn't hear her coming, and she
got a look at his face as he stood at
the table absently turning over some
mail that lay there. He looked tired,
she thought.

It Is a treat to a mOtOriSt driving
through a strange country to have
the road marked. Many main trav-

some way or another. The way in
which they are marked varies greatly

the road.
