Home Talent Entertainment.

A large audience greeted our young
people in the Methodist church last
Thursday evening for the second num-
Der of the lyceum entertainment
course, and all were pleased with the
program. The first number, a pan
tomime, was particularly well received
and showed what training in motions
can do in interpreting a beautiful
hymn like "Abide With Me-" A Ia
dies trio rendered "Rockin' Time" and
this was followed by minuet by
George and Martha Washington, who
were gowned faultlessly and looked
the stately part. The little folks were
Vivian Winsor and Hartley SausserS
Miss Eva Ross gave a dialect number
and was recalled three times, which
is all one needs to know of how she
was appreciated. The patriotic tab
leaux were pretty and we'll TAKEN,
Then came the farce, which was a,
reproduction of a family ordering
from one Of the catalogue houses, with
local hits that were clever and most
amusing. The family in question had:
the unique experience Of sending their
money, then waiting two months for
their order to come, and when it did
come the misfits were many and lu--
dicrous. Moral: Trade at home

citing moments that the officers on
the ship referred to her as the "Calm

per cent of its full value for state and
local purposes, as now. The new bill
was discussed by J. G. Armson of the
state tax commission, who said it is
much more definite in it's cost exemp-
tons than the bill introduced by A. c.
WEIGH, which he said is susceptible to
misinterpretation and would lead to
much litigation. Representative c. T.
Murphy of Aurora opposed the bill
and questioned it's authors closely. No
action was taken. It is claimed the
bill would produce $4,500,000 a year
in revenue.
House and senate committees on
markets will prepare and introduce a
bill establishing state department

marketing. Bills creating bureaus on
both subjects have been before the
committees, which have decided to
combine them SO as not to multiply
departments. The department of ag-
