Second Number
Lecture Course

Miss Marie Mayer, who in 1910
took the part of Mary Magdalene in
the famous passion play of Ober-
ammergau, will gi e a dramatic
lecture telling Of the play and also
of the people of her native noun
tain-valley village on the Lyceum
course here, Nov. IA.
Many people have lectured about
the passion play and many h v e
written books about it, but M S
Mayer is the only actual participant
of this great drama ever to appear
before an American audience. What
she has to say comes from having
actually taken roles in theplay three
different years.
The first time Miss Mayer took
part was as one of the children OF
Jerusalem In 1890. Ten years later
she played the role of the angel IN
the Garden of Gethsemane and then,
in 1910 she realized w h a t is the
great ambition Of every maiden in
the village-she was given the part
Of Mary Magdalene.
Miss Mayer is said to h a V e a
wonderful a e presence. Her
voice is thrilling, magnetic in it's
holding power. She combines, it is
stated, a rare womanly beauty with
a simple dignity which is powerful
in it's appeal.
"She is gifted in dramatic under
standing" says the Grand Rapids,
Mich, Herald, and her message is
a dramatic enactment. She has per-
sonality and magnetism and h r
bearing is extremely simple and dig
nified. She speaks in we'll chosen
English touched with delightful
accent of her mother tongue"

COUNTY TO RAISE $4,000

A campaign for funds to be used
for the welfare of United States SOL
diers in cantonment and in France is
going to be made in this county be-
ginning November 18th. John E.
Foley of Ellsworth is chairman of
the committee in this county, DR..
w. D. Doolittle is treasurer and w.
G. Haddowis secretary. The amount
that is allotted to this county to
raise is $4,000. On November 18th
house to house canvass will be
commenced and the committee ex-
poets to raise at least the amount
called for if not more, because this
money is really not a contribution to
the Y. M. C. A., but every cent of it
goes direct. to the soldiers, either in
environments or in France, to pro-
mote their welfare. The 7. M. G.
A. is looking out for the soldier in
his.spare time, and is providing
way for him to get little pleasure
in the few moments he has when he
is off duty. Every man and woman
in the. county Should contribute his
share toward this object.

NORMAL wins FROM
STOUT INSTITUTE
Menomonie Team is Out
classed by Hayward's
Wrecking Crew

The Stout Institute football team
failed tosput crimp in the record
OF the River Falls Normal eleven
last Friday and the local team had
no trouble in winning by score of
40 to 0. While Stout put up a much
better game than did Superior the
week before, the visitors were new
ertheless badly outclassed. They
were a game bunch Of players, how
ever. and were in fine physical trim.
While River Falls won by large
score, had not the team resorted to
the passing game so often they
would have rolled up much larger
total. Long heaves and short losses
were tried time and again and not
one was completed. Johnson's losses
appeared to be all right but the men
at the receiving end failed to come
across with the much needed punch.
Normal scored two touchdowns in
the first quarter, the first after five
minutes of play. The half ended 10
to 0.
The third quarter was a hard
fought period, for Stout put up
mighty interesting scrap. Normal
was able to score but once and Stout
fought every inch of the way.
River Falls ran wild in the final
minutes of the last quarter. The
locals scored a touchdown shortly
after the quarter started and were
then held until but one minute and
ten seconds were left to play. Stout
fumbled and Johnson grasped the
opportunity (and the pigskin) and
raced across the goal line.
In the final seconds LeTonde
scooped a fumbIed ball and scored
the last touchdown, bringing the
score up to As.
Wigen and Johnson played a sensa-
tional game at the halves for River
Falls. Fessenbecker, at full, hit the
line for big gains and ran back punts
in his usual brilliant style. Smith
worked we'll at quarter and the line,
from end to end, showed up better
than in any previous game this seas
on.
