DELIGHTFUL LYCEUM COURSE.

The concert to be gwen at the
seminary this evening by the Ameri-
can Girls Trio IL the first OF series
OF entertainments to be given during
March, April and May. Owing to the
general epidemic of influenza it was
necessary to postpone these enter
tainments until this time, but the
delay has worked to our advantage in
that we have been able to secure
programs Of considerably higher
quality than those of proceeding
years. The numbers offered this
year are as follows:
March 7th, The American Girls
Trio, one Of the best organizations
Of the kind ON the concert platform,
giving a varied program which in
cludes saxophone and banjo trios,
vocal numbers, solos on q variety of
instruments, readings and character
songs in costume.
March 18th, Ralph Bingham, Am
erica's foremost humorous lecturer.
April 14th, Nine. Christine Lam
genhan, dramatic soprano, whose
reputation as q truly great artist
was already firmly established in
England. France, Italy and Scandi-
navia before her recent coming to
America where she has won instant
and unqualified success. Her roper.
toire includes both classic and popu-
lar songs.
April, (date to be announced lat
er), Mr.. W. Brew er-Brown. the we'll
known interpreter Of literature and
the drama, who fills each year a long
series of engagements at schools
and colleges, He will give an even
ing's program, "All the Worlds q
Stage consisting of selections from
the two supreme portrayers of hui
man nature, Shakespeare and Dick
ems.
May 10th, The Devereux Players,
IN three one-act plays representing
the best in modern drama. The Dew
ereux Players appear usually only
before the largest schools and col
leges; we are very fortunate to be
able to secure an engagement with
them.
We are endeavoring to- give to
Lewisburg in these five entertain
ments five evenings with the best Of
the worlds music, humor, literature
and drama, and we ask the cordial
support OF the public. The price Of
season ticket is $3--a remarkably
low price in view OF the quality Of
the programs offered. Reservations
Of seats may be secured at the Lewis
burg Drug Store.

gressive business man, whether his
occupation be that of farmer or finan-
cier 1t is an essential necessity.

most instantly, by his S-year-old bro
Their. The mother had just left the

gone to the barn when the little fell
lows went upstairs where the father
had left the gun loaded, never think
Ing OF the children. The whole load
penetrated Johnie's left side very
near the heart and almost tore his
arm off. lodging in his shoulder.
1t was heavily loaded shell. When
his mother got to him his clothes
were blazing with fire. The bereav-
ed parents have the sympathy of
their many friends. Johnnie was one
of our brightest little boys. While
1t Is hard to give him up. we know
that God knows best and we can only
say, "Thy will, not ours"
The child was only lent to us,
While mortal he was mine
And he though dead is yet alive
And lives forever thine

10000 BONUS no BE PAID TO
SOLDIERS.

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act
approved February "a, 1919, author
ICES the payment Of a bonus Of $4,000
to officers, soldiers, field clerks and
nurses OF the Army upon honorable
separation from active service by
discharge, resignation or otherwise.
This bonus is not payable to the
heirs or representatives of >any de-
ceased soldier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which they
are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the 10000 bonus. should
write a letter to the Zone Finance
Officer. Lemon Building, Washing
ton, ID. c., stating their service since
April =. 1917. the date Of last dis
charge and their present address to
which they desire their bonus checks
to be sent and enclosing with the
letter their discharge certificate or
military order for discharge and
both. If both were issued.
Upon receipt by the Zone Finance

information and the soldiers dis
charge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mailed
to the claimants in the order In
which their claims were received by
him. The discharge certificate will
be returned to the soldier with the

1t Is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persons have
been discharged from the service,
who are entitled to the benefits Of
thlsAct and while payments will be
made as expeditiously as practicable,
II will manifestly take considerable
time to write and mail this many
checks.

spirits, NJ. Delacroix, the premier, said

"The liquidation of the cost Of the war

ten billion francs. The existence of the

are undertaking the task of rebuilding
Europe in a spirit of great generosity
Our national existence depends upon
promises made us, and think can con
fidently tell you they win be kept"
