THE NOVELTY FAIR
COMING NEXT TUESDAY.

Coming! The Novelty Fair, next
Tuesday, Dee. 14th. This is the sec
ond entertainment of the Lyceum
course which is being brought to our
town by the two schools, with the Pa
rent-Teachers' Association. as guar
antors. One entertainment will be
given each month until April. Season
tickets for the four remaining attrac-
tons can be bought from teachers or
from the Stewart Drug Store for SO
for Adults and 81 for students and
children.
Many who heard the program Of
last month have said it was the best
ILyceum program ever given here. The
Teachers and the Parent Teachers
Association are anxious to make this
course permanent thing in Lexing-
ton. Most all upto-date towns of this
Size and even smaller, support such a
course without difficulty. We feel
that our town needs this kind of en-
tertainment. Our children need to
learn to recognize and properly APP
preciate real talent when they see or
hear it. If the thing is go, our
patrons are going to have to come
and bring the children. We are not
trying to make money on this course,
but since it is school affair, we GER
tainly do not want to lose money.
Surely if our patrons are for schools
and for the general uplift of the town,
they will back us up in our efforts to
bring wholesome entertainment to
our children.
Four young men compose the COM
pany that will give the program next
Tuesday night. Their program con-
sists of instrumental music, male
quartet numbers and readings. 1t is
said always to please, being varied
enough to suit everybody. These
players come to US highly recommend
ed.
We had hoped to have this in the
new school auditorium but it will be
impossible to get the building light
ed by that time. 1t will be given
probably at the cOurthouse Circulor,
will be sent around later announcing
the place.
May we not have good attendance
Of school board members, parent
teachers association members, pat
rons, students and children in general.
Single admission tickets, Csc and
35 cents.

BENSON SAYS BOARD
 MIXED IN PIPE LINE
As to What Extent Shipping Board Was Interested Was
 Not Given Out
By AsaociatHd Press

Washington. October 3.-Chairman
 Benson of the shipping board said to-
 night that the board had some interest in the proposed oil pipe line over the
 istf mus of Tehuantepec. Mex, but what
 the extent of that interest was he did not
 as yet know.
 Reports published in Mexico City
 newspaper that the board was attempt
 ing to obtain oil and acqueduct conces- sions across the isthmus were first met
 by Chairman Benson with the statement that he knew of no connection between the board and any Mexican oil conces- sion. Later, however, he said he had been informed that the board was n- terested in the pipe line but had not been fully advised as to it's connection with the project.
 An expert was sent to the Tampico
 some time ago, he said. to make sur vey of oil production there in an effort to speed up the turn around or American vessels in Mexican ports. Whether there had come out of that survey negotiations concerning the pipe line the chairman said he did not know, adding he would take steps to get full report on the situation.
