summer and study the vast amount of
good they have done in the communi-
ties visited.
Patriotism has been aroused as nev-

information has been brought to the
audiences, the music and entertain
ment features acted as balm to over
taut nerves, a soothing tonic to tired
and worried minds. Mothers pining
for absent sons have seen their duty
and answered the call to arms.
These wholesome lectures and en-
tertainments are going to be needed
even more during the fall and winter
months. Our boys will be taking an
ever increasing part in the great
cause of humanity lover there and
the stress will grow more intense.
To meet this need the loyal lyceum
committee has arranged for an unus-
