That You Want Something
Better Than Merely Good

Can you blame your grocer for
sending ordinary or commonplace

Pick Coffee, can you blame him if he

There are many merely good

1.-THE Berkeley Sextette

This is the attraction for the next
number of the Lyceum course, the
date being Monday evening, Nov.
26th This sextette is composed of
six accomplished young ladies and
Is considered one of the most refined
musical sextettes on the platform to-
day.
These six charming young ladies
present a program not only of genu-
Inc musical merit but filled with life
and snap. Each member of the Ber-
kelley Sextette has been chosen for
her musical ability and seldom is it
possible to secure six such splendid
artists, all rich in natural musical
endowment, finished in culture and
experience.
The attractions being offered by
the course this winter are all high
class, as can be judged from the first
number when the Hampton Court
Singers delighted Jerome audience.
If you have not secured your season
ticket as yet, better see some member
of the committee and secure 1t for the
remainder of the course. The adj
vance sale has not beeen exceedingly
heavy, and as a few of our amuse-
ment lovers have made it possible to
bring such attractions to Jerome
they should be given the hearty sup
port of our musical and literary in
clined people. 1t is the only way
that Jerome can expect to be favored
with such classical entertainments
and the price of the season tickets are
placed at a reasonable price, the Ri

Coming to Jerome

There is man coming to Jerome
who has gone through the hell of
the war, who has contributed to the
hell of the war, who has escaped
from the hell of the war, and comes
back, minus one arm to tell of 1t.
His name is Sergeant Fred Wells,
known as "Doc," and he will talk at
the Rialto theatre Wednesday even
ing, November 21st, in addition to
a big feature film program. In Can
ada doc" Wells is we'll known.
Tales of his heroism have been seiz-
ed by the newspapers and published
from coast to coast.
But 1t is not of his personal
achievements that Sergeant Wells
Will talk. He Is not a mission of
self applause. He is telling the Unit
ed States the real facts about the
war, picturing 1t so graphically that
every man and woman who hears 1t
will be able to picture his or her son
surrounded by the war; to visualize
war; to know the details of the war
fare
Wells talks about the Ypres In
terms of the comrades he knew. He
pictures men, men just before a
charge, during a charge, In death,
and pleading to be killed. He will
not tell, unless drawn on, the story
of how, in the attack on Ypres sail
ent of five miles, he volunteered to
cross a road considered impossible, to
take command of a detachment that
had been left without on officer, of
how he did cross the road losing all
but eighteen of the fifty-seven brave
men who followed him, and how he
lost his arm for his act.
1t is when he talks of the inhu-
man cruelty Of the German soldiers
that the tenseness comes most notice
ably to his face. He was himself bay
oneted In an arm already shot seven
times, while he lay in mo Mans
Land" The side of his face was
kicked by the boot of German off,
Ger, his cheek is Scared where he
was struck across the face by the
hand of another commander.
OF the period served in a German
prison, and his miraculous escape
from the living death from which few
men have yet come alive, following
a long period OF pretended insanity
Wells tells in detail in his lecture
He has pictures struggled from the
German prison.
1.-The hospital base is the soldiers
little heaven" Sergeant Wells said
"Not the one above, but the sacred
ground presided over by Red Cross
nurse. We all hope that by some
fiuke we will be spared for the base
hospital. 1t is the hope to which we
cling"
Wells is a Canadian by birth. He
was formerly connected with a Van
couver newspaper. He is recognized
by the Canadian government, which
has supplied him largely with the pic
lures which he shows. Wells has los
