LANGD0N WILL HAVE A MID
WINTER LYCEUM COURSE

The Auditorium Company have
contracted for Lyceum course dur
ing the coming fall and winter the
first number of which will be given
on Monday next, the Goth inst. This
is lcetur by the renowned orator,
DR.. Andrew H. Harnley, of Chicago,
who will take for his subject, "The
National Bulwark. - This should ap.
peal most particularly to the fathers
and mothers of our land as it is a
plea for the American home and the
problems connected with the future
of our boys and girls. He takes up
the various points covering the flu
ture of our country and the necess.
sity Of due attention to the proper
training of our young life to meet
the new conditions arising out of
the reconstruction now in course of
development. This is a vital subject
and will receive masterly handling
by this very able speaker The re.
naming numbers are as follows:
Nov. l8 The Ringdorff Concert Co.
Dec. 1st the De Willo Concert Co..
March 10th the Fighting Canadians.
Each of these numbers is we'll worth
hearing and will prove a strong card
in meriting the patronage of our
people. 1t is sincerely hoped that
the public will lend their generous
patronage to these attractions.
1t is we'll known that the Auditor
ium Company is making the effort tc
run the auditorium fer the benefit OF
the community and no. as a money
making proposition. AS matter
of fact, it has never paid expenses
and has been operated at persona
loss to each of the bnard of direc.
tors. For this reason it is purposee
to secure during the coming winter
just as many attractions of a clear
desirable character as can be secured
and every effort will be made to ope'
the auditorium to the public muc}
more frequently during the coming
winter than has been possible in the
past. Great care will be exercised
in the choice of attractions and the
, public may rest assured that sucl
things as are brought here will be O
character suitable for the yuun,
life of our city. It'll also on tn
cards to give benefit performance
some time during the winter for tn
Auditorium Company to enable then
to reduce some part of the indebted
ness now resting upon the building
At thia time good attraction will
be offered and it is trustfully hope,
, that the public will lend their gene
3 rous support to it. when given. Th
object will be to provide improve,
scenery and other equipment an,
make our city an attractive stand fo
shows of merit. There are also seve
raj home talent plays in contempla
tion of'a high order which will b.
such as to command the customar,
generous patronage of our people.
Is therefore the design Of the Audi
torlum Company to make the comm,
winter the best season yet expert
enced and enable them to still fur
ther increase the usefulness of
public hall such as no other town O
this size within the state has at it
disposal.

MEXICO AND THE UNITED
STATES

That is the title Of an extended
article in the Mexican Review, a
magazine published for the pur-
pose Of bringing about better
understanding between the people
of the United States and Mexico,
This article is by Right Reverend
Henry Damerel Ayes, and while
ably written it fails to throw Gpy
light on the situation, as we view
it, says the Miami News.
Mexico is the transgressor, so
far as any unpleasantness is con
cerned. America has made over
lures and offered aid to Mexico.
which have been refused. Mexico
needs the friendship Of the Unit
ed States more than the United
States needs the friendship Of
Mexico, and the only way for the
two countries to be in accord is
lOI MtNICO W 81 dlLtE HtI dbli-
tude as to show that Carranza is
cooperating with this country
along lines of mutual interest.
The Carranza government has
shown no disposition to cooperate
with America, but on the other
hand has shown his hostility to
America and everything Ameri-
can. He was in sympathy with
it, if he did not lend his govern
ment aid to, Germany in the
world war He has been the cause
of the murder of numerous Amer
leans, has confiscated their prop
erty and is still in defiant mood.
The Rev. AYES takes the position
that the Americans DO not under
stand the Mexicans; that the lat
ter misjudge Americans, and that
the people of the two countries
