PROGRAM PRACTICALLY
COMPLETE FOR COURSE
Committee in Charge of Course Have
Planned Well Balanced
Program.

The committee that has charge of
conducting the entertainment course
IN this city for the season of 1919-20,
has spent a great deal of time and eff
fort in securing a well balanced pro-
gram as will be seen by the following
list of attractions:
Minneapolis Operate Company, Oc-
tober Is.
Columbia Sextette November II.
Irwin S. Cobb, November %.
Ernest Davis, Tenor. December 8.
Symphony Players, in April.
Sarah Mildred Wilmer, date not yet
set.
Seventh attraction, to be selected
The price for the course tickets has
been set as follows:
Adults, $780, children, $1.00
Several Of the attractions will carry
a single admission charge to those
who do not have season tickets of 75c
and several Of them will be SOC. Single
admission tickets for Irwin S. Cobb will
be $1.00, and these tickets will be re-
served, Single admission tickets for
children will be just one-half the price
Of the adult single admission tickets.
F. B. Lambert has been made chair
man of the ticket sales committee and
thorough canvas of the city will be
made within the next few days for the
sale of course tickets.
The first number of the course will
be the Minneapolis operate Company,
toife covers wide range of musical
literature, including quartets, excerpts
and scenes from grand opera and light
fo11 &c
duets, solos and instrumental selec-
tions of the highest excellence
AS stated, a great deal of time and
effort has been spent in securing
course away in advance of the one of
last year, which to many people turned
out to be disappoint There
will not be any, disappointment this
year, for the attractions cost more
than double those of last year and sew
eral booking agencies have been called
upon to furnish the talent.
There are three attractions with six
people in each. There is small need
of speaking in particular of Irwin S.
Cobb, Americas foremost humorist,
while Ernest Davis is recognized as
one of the Nations best tenor soloists.
Sarah Mildred Wilmer is the best dra-
matte reader in the country. She spent
many months in France the past year
entertaining the soldiers, and her ex-
neriences 'over there" cannot but help
add to her already wonderful power
over audiences in the reading of dra-
matte masterpiesces.
The seventh number on the course
will be signed up some time during the
winter The committee is looking at
the present time for an attraction in
keeping with the program already Sc
lected, and it would not be at all sur
prising if one of the worlds greatest
artists would be signed up for the last
number on the course.
The people of Minot cannot afford to
miss any Of the entertainment course
this season. and the wise ones will
save money bv purchasing course
tickets See Mr. Lambert at once.

ratings are often invaluable. Each
hospital staff has group of trained
psychologists.
At the height of the war, there were
forty eight hospitals operated, scat
tered from coast to coast. Two
thousand five hundred instructors
were needed to man the posts and
10000 men were instructed at one
time. The largest part of the worl,
was consummated between the months
of January and June, rs hospitals be-.
ing closed in June alone. The work
has been reduced to such proportions
that it can now be carried on with a
small office force. The need for cr-
ganization being past, Mr.. Cranes
services can soon be spared and he
says that he will be glad to return
to civil life and the Minot Normal.
Prof. j. II. Cotton, Prof G. E. Mael-
ler, Prof. Geo. Altman, and Earl
Pierce, all members of the Minot Nor
NAL faculty, were engaged in this
work, Of which Major Crane was the
general supervisor. Miss Ella G.

permitted. He said so to-day. Fur
thermore, the shows will be under

basis license was issued with the
Mayors consent to the caravansary.
The show people may not have un-

they convinced themselves that the
blunt, unbending attitude of the
city's executive was final.

positive assurance given the police
