to move all day Friday but the big
rush came Saturday when 1877
sacks were sold. To give his

The Lyceum Course


passing up a bargain. There are
four number of lectures, music
and entertainment and the season
tickets are being sold at one dollar
for adults and so cents for those OF
school age. However, the sale Of
tickets is dragging, so the COM
mittee reports. The programs are
all high class and is one of the
best investments the community
could make.
Those who have not had an op-
portunity to buy of the committee
will find tickets on sale at both the
local banks.
The first number is the Yanks
Quartet on Saturday night, De-
cember 6. This is the night of
the regular picture show but
Manager Myers has kindly cancel
led the slow for that night that
the lyceum committee may have
the opera house.
Four boys who fought for
Liberty and Democracy during
The Great War, and who can sing
and entertain, comprise this unique
and popular Yanks Quartet. The
Yanks will be remembered as the
soldiers who went into battle sing
ing and shouting, and with that
spirit displayed it is no wonder
that they were so gloriously vic
torious.
So The Yanks will give as a
touch of the brighter side of soldier
life. They sing the songs we like
to hear. with that tremendous fire
and spirit. that tireless vitality,
vim and vigor characteristic of the
Yank soldier. The program is
strikingly brilliant, full of action,
intensely patriotic. perfectly bal
aneed. The ever popular ensemble
numbers are freely distributed
throughout the program while the
choicest solos are so arranged and
chosen as to give each member of
the company an opportunity to
give the audience his very best and
most effective work. Then, too,
the snappy drills will add much to
the interesting program.
Other numbers of the course are
George G. AydelOtt, lecturer,
favorite on the lyceum platform
for the past ten years. His sub
ject, THE Man For Today is
to humanity and great
inspiration to young men.
Mae Shumway Enderly, enter
tainer, is an artist in many lines.
Her evenings program is general
in character, made up of readings,
and impersonations, but featuring |
especially what she is pleased to
Term Brides of Peasant Count
ries."
The Bonnie Brooke Company is
musical. Bonnie Brooke and
Lucille Blakely display a versatility
n their program, a freshness and
1ivscity that raises them to
distinct and enviable plane among
professional musicians and enter
.ainers.

 France.

London. - The Daily Express pub fishes a remarkable story of how 10 American officers in two automobiles attempted and almost succeeded in Kidnapping William Hohenzollern, the former German emperor, from his re- treat at Amerongen, Holland.
 One of the most remarkable feat ures of the story is that the eX-kaisor sent word that he was willing to go with the Americans if shown a safe conduct to the American headquarters and if given a written guarantee that he would not be shot en route.
 The author of the story says that he obtained it from two of the American officers just before he left Paris for London and he says that later he verified the story from another source.
 According to the story, the kidnap- ing was planned at a New Year din her on the night of January I, at tended by young American officers. all below the grade of captain. The town occupied by the americans. It is said that the plan was started by young lieutenant from a Southern state who arose and declared:
 There's only one thing wrong with this mans army. IL hasn't got the kaiser"
 A little man, who made a reputa- ton as figter in the Argonne forest. immediately suggested that those present go and bring the kaiser.
 Just to show tha, we've cleaned up the last bit of war garbage" he added.
