tee, reported eleven new members in
one ward and nine in another.
The children went through with a
very interesting program of songs
and recitations, while Miss Can't and
Miss Burton read instructive articles.
Mrs. Fulp sang beautiful solo which
was greatly enjoyed. ..
At this meeting it was decided
that the association should bend its
energies towards the establishment
Of play ground for the children.
AS early as possible volley ball, vault
ing poles, basket ban, tennis courts,
a skating rink and other forms of
amusement will be established on the
grounds. The people Of Abbeville
will be asked to contribute to these

City Council Has Interesting
and Busy Session.

At the meeting of the City Council
Tuesday night the discussion ranged
f.om t., question of keeping hogs IN
the city limits to asking the A5be-
Vile County delegation in the State
Legislature to repeal tie act which
gives control of the City's water and
light plant to a commission and re-
turn control to the city council. On
motion of alderman Heary, seconded
by Alderman Wilson, j motion to
the latter effect was passed. The mo-
ton read: It is moved that City
Clerk Perrin write to the Abbeville
delegation in the State Legislature re-
questing it to pass an act repeating
an act which places the control of
the water and light plant in the

Works and place the control back in
the hands of the City Council.
The present Commission of Public
Works consists of W. M. Barnwell,
chairman; w. n. White and ]. L.
Mcmillan.
This action was taken because it

made to the commission were either
ignored or refused.
The question of closing up the
restaurants and soft drink stands on
Sunday was brought up by Alderman
SWAN, who moved that the present
city ordinance, allowing only the sale
Of food, ice, milk, and medicines, be
enforced. A substitute motion by
Alderman Henry amending the pres
ent ordinance so that it allows in ad-
dition, in restaurants and ho-
tells the sale of soft drinks and to-
baccos was passed by a vote OF B to
3 and the motion of Alderman Syfan
was lost by the same count.
Alderman Wilson brought up the
matter of keeping hogs in town and
reported that he had investigated re-
ports that the present hog ordinance
was being violated, but had found no
violations. He added that some OF
the hogpens gave forth very notice
able smell, but that such was in the
nature of things attendant upon the
keeping of hogs and could not be
remedied under the present ordi-
nance.

SENATE COMMITTEE
FOR RESERVATIONS

Washington, Oct. 22.-Reopening
it's consideration of the peace treaty,
the senate foreign relations commit
tee today adopted ten revised reser-
vations, including a provision that the
senate qualifications must be accept:
ed by three of the other great pow
ers before the treaty ratification be-
comes effective.
Among them was new proposal
which administration senators de-
clared would break down the econo-
mic boycott feature of the league of
nations covenant, and a reservation
on Article 10 differing only in the
transposition of one phrase from that
which President Wilson has announ-
ced, he would treat as a rejection of
the treaty.
The ten reservations were part of
a list presented by Chairman Lodge
and declared by the Republican lead
ers to represent compromise be-
hind which majority of the senate
is pledged to stand. The adninistra-
tion members Of the committee, head
ed by Democratic Leader Hitchcock,
tried in vain to secure modification
of the majority proposals and then
voted solidly against all of them.

PLAYERS
WILL APPEAR HE..is.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 81

On October 81 the Rich-Werno en-
tertainers will appear in Abbeville.
This will be the second attraction of
the Lyceum course which is appear
ing here this fall in the interest of
the Abbeville County Memorial Hos
pital. The first attraction, the Col
leens, was a splendid entertainment,
worthy of much better support than
it received, both because of its own
merit but also because of the cause
for which it was used to raise funds.

Here is what was said of the Rich
Werno entertainers in Enfield, N. c.,
where they recently appeared:
Enfield, N. c., ct. 9, 1919.
Redpath Lyceum Bureau,
Birmingham, Ala.
Gentlemen:
The general impression as the Rich
Werno Entertainers, who appeared
here last night seems to be most sat-
We did not have q very
large house on account Of religious
meeting in progress here, but the au
dience was fairly large. I have never
seen entertainers receive more rapt
nor a more appreciative
audience. All whom I have heard ex-
press themselves seem delighted. If
every attraction is as good as the
Rich-Werno Entertainers, I don't be-
lieve that we shall have any trouble
in booking a course for next year.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) R. H. Johnson, Manager.

Lyceum Should be Appreciated.

Princeton is indeed fortunate in be-
ing able to secure as fine a lyceum
course as will be put on this fall and
winter, and it is to be hoped that the
community will show it's appreciation
by turning out large audiences, fo1
although it is furnished us at cost by
the university it will have to be sup
ported generally else the Civic Better
ment club, which assumes the fnan-
cial responsibility, will meet with a
loss.
The price of the season ticket is put
as low as possible in order that these
excellent programs may be within the
reach Of all, so the attendance will
have to be large to make the lyceum a
financial success.
There will be six programs one
each month-and each will be differ
ent. Two of these will be lectures
each of interest and value but each
differing greatly from the other.
Prof. Burt Newkirk of the university
of Minnesota will give his very popu-
lar lecture on the gyroscope. He dem
onstrates with apparatus this wonder
full mechanical device and it is un-
necessary to expatiate on the interest
this always arouses.
Prof. Richard r. Price, also of our
university, will give one of his quar-
tet of life lectures. His lectures are
considered tonic and stimulus to
those who would make their lives
worth WHILE
Clarence Burgderfer should need
little advertising to draw a crowd as
he is an impersonator of talent. He
gives costume character sketches, bits
of tragedy, pianologues and "iest-
nuts" but mostly he is humorous,
Wherever he goes he is considered the
biggest laugh of the season.
The heaviest expense of the course
is for the musical numbers-the Karl
Scheurer Concert company and the
Columbia sextet.
The three men who compose the con-
cert company are all artists, being
members of the famous Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra. One is violin
ist, one cellist and one harpist.
Their concerts are further enhanced
by singer Of ability.
The Columbia sextet is considered

to succeed John Everall, St. Paul: on
Attorney General Hilton's staff. Coz
onel Pratt has been member of the
Minnesota National guard for 26
years, and for IA years was county

served in the Spanish-American war
and was lieutenant colonel of the Third
Minnesota infantry on the Mexican
border. He accompanied his regiment
overseas in the world war and upon
his discharge resumed his law practice
in Anoka.
His many Princeton friends will be
pleased to learn that he has been
chosen for the high office of assistant
attorney general.

one Of the finest ladies' orchestras on
any lyceum circuit. Their program
will consist of songs, costumed sclec-
tions, readings and varied solos.
One of the programs will be put on
by the Little Playhouse company Of
Cincinnati. They come with their
own scenery and put on complete
play, "A Creature of the Sea-" To see
a really good company present play
is a pleasure not often vouchsafed to
a Princeton audience.
Fifty cents, plus war tax, is the
single admission to be charged and
each attraction is we'll worth it. But
the season ticket at a dollar and a
half, plus the war tax, for the six
attractions cuts the admission price
for each in half.
The program will be put on in the
new auditorium of the high school
building.

Townley and Gilbert Sentenced

Townley and Gilbert Sentenced.
Ninety days in the Jackson county
jail-the limit under the statute-was
the sentence imposed by Judge Dean
at Jackson on Monday upon A. C.
Townley, president of the nonpartisan
league, and Joseph Gilbert, former
organization manager, who were con-
victed on July IL of having conspired
to teach sedition and discourage en-
listment.
The defendants did not utter word
in their own behalf at the proceedings
Monday during which Prosecuting At
torney E. H. Nicholas of Jackson and
Judge Dean took formal occasion in
open court to brand as falsehoods the
various stories of the trial which have
been circulated by the league since
Townley and Gilbert were convicted.
Judge Dean granted a stay of SEN
tence of sixty days when the defense
will move for new trial on the
ground Of error in the record. If the
motion is denied, an appeal will be
taken to the state supreme court.
The judge, in his address, declared
that he had received various letters of
comment on the case, some of which
praised his conduct and few of which
criticised his decisions. He declared
that all Of the hostile letters were
anonymous while hte complimentary
communications had signatures. Let
ters bore postmarks from cities as far
east as Atlantic City and as far west
as San Francisco.
Attorney Nicholas injected new ma
terial in his charges of disloyalty
against the league. He declared that
agents Of the league "are still out
preaching sedition; are still out
preaching open revolution; are still
out preaching the overthrow of the
American constitution.

Kellogg Drafts New Reservation

hellOgg DIdItS NE" ReSefVaClOn.
Senator Frank B. Kellogg of Mime
sofa, the leading spirit in the now
famous "group of seven," is auther of
the compromise reservation on Article
x Of the Lodge program, it became
known at the capitol recently.
Senators McCumber of North Dako-
to, Lenroot of Wisconsin, McNary of
Oregon and Mr.. Kellogg sat down af-
ter the Lodge report was made and
each drafted what he thought the
reservation in regard to article x
should be. The wording of each was
different, but the idea was the same.
The other three, it is said, gave Sen
ator Kellogg authority to whip the
four drafts into one and present it to
Senator Lodge as the compromise.
Senator Lodge is reported to have
accepted, but on the condition that no
announcement be made until Senators
johnson Of California, Borah of Idaho
and Moses of New Hampshire, who are
trailing the president, have given their
assent. -...a
1t is understood that the compro-
mise reservation deals only with arti-
Gle x, the provisions relating to arti-
Gle XVI, on economic boycotts, and
article XII, on mandates, having been
stricken out. , -..-- -.

An Excellent Street Fair at Isle.

An Excellent Street Fair at Isle.
An event which will long be remenl-
bered as stepping stone in the
progress of agriculture in the Mile
Lacs lake country was the street fair
held at Isle last Saturday. The splen-
did display of vegetables, fruits and
poultry was revelation to many, as
even residents of this community
had never before fully realized the
possibilities of Isle as an agriculturaE
center. ... ..
Weather conditions were rather u,,-
favorable for a large attendance as:
a drizzling rain fell during the fore
noon. Nevertheless, the various ex-
hibits were put up and, as the sun
came out after dinner, large crowd
gathered.
The, fruit display was especially
worthy Of mention-all kinds of Min
nesota fruits were exhibited, some ap-
pies as large as little pumpkins and
plums grown to a remarkable size
The various grains and grasses we're
all we'll matured and hardy.
The display Of baked and canned
goods was excellent in spite of the
sugar shortage. The fancy work ex-
hibit was equal to that at the county,
fair. One unique exhibit was collec--
ton Of antique articles, all very in
teresting. There was box of candy
brought from Europe 20 years ago,
which was we'll preserved. The small
lest and one of the largest bibles in
the world were also shown. -..
A program consisting of talk from
Mr.. Holmer of the state dairy de-
partment, and several musical num-
bers, was given in the afternoon.
Sports and various contests added to
the enjoyment. The prizes were
given by the business men and were
very liberal. - ..~ :.
It is hoped that the fair can be made
an annual event. yg
Had it not been for the inclement
weather which prevailed on Saturday
morning ,and consequent bad roads,
many Princetonians would have at
tended the fair. AS it was only very
few cars drove from here to that:
point.
