 The Democratic party recognizes the importance of the acquisition by Americans of additional sources of supply Of petroleum and other min erals and declares thae such acquisi- ton both at home and abroad should be fOstered and encouraged.

The Woman Orator of America.

Mary Harris Armor, LII. D., of Geor-
''The World Wide Struggle" in the high
school auditorium, Wednesday, Nov. 8,
8 p. m. The Ashland Daily Press say:
"Mrs. Armor is a wonderful speaker,
of marked ability. She is magnetic to
she swayed the vast audience was al
most unbelievable. She knew her sub
ject. She speaks at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, yet with such perfect
enunciation that not a word was lost.
If you didn's hear her, you were out of
luck. +"
''Never before has Ashland listened
to more enjoyable, interesting and
educational address than the one given
by Mrs Armor Fortunate, indeed,
was the old town in securing and Civ
ing the opportunity of hearing this
wonderful woman"
Mrs. Armour is undoubtedly one of
the best platform speakers in the coun-
try. She has only recently returned
from long speaking tour of Europe.
Her wonderful fund of accurate know
ledge is inexhaustible-hi history, poetry,
biography, science, romance, hymnol
ogy, philosophy, economics, politics,
the contents of daily papers, and be-
yond and above all, the Bible and re-
ligious literature are at the tip of her
tongue, because of her trained mind
with it's tenacious memory. She is now
recognized and will be known in history
as one of Americas greatest women.
Come, hear her and decide for your
self.

Splendid Entertainment.

The first number of series of five
entertainments coming this season un-
der the auspices of the American Lee
gion Ralph Amundson post was given
in the high school auditorium last Mon
day evening. A good sized audience
was in attendance. Miss Rita Rich
and Miss Laura Werno, known as the
Rich-W erno entertainers, appeared and
delighted the audience with their fine
singing, clever approximations and per-
formances on the piano. Miss Rich's
representations of variety of char
acters, young and old, were done with
keen insight and delightful simplicity
and truthfulness, and Miss Werno as a
piano-logist, reader of dialect selec-
tons and singer of character songs
showed fine interpretative power.
The next number will be given Dec.
3r1 when the John B. Rallo company
appears. To bring lyceum course to
the city is in itself a commendable I'M
dertaking, and the fact that the course
is good one and that our boys in the
American Legion are backing it, ought
to make it success. Don't forget
that the next number comes Dec. 3rd.
