ent subscribers.

has been confined virtually to

poets to put on national circula-
ton campaign at once to carry the
message Of the organized farmers
to new territory in advance OF

That Loafng
Stop in Band Hall
During Rehersals

Due to the annoyance, inconven-
fence and disorder at band rehersals
resulting from parties who are not
band members congregating in the
hall. we find that 1t is necessary to
serve notice that henceforth people
not interested will not be allowed in
the band hall during practice. This
action is necessary in order that our
rehersals be not interfered with and
that all band members receive full
value Of the rehearsal. All should re-
alize that unnecessary confusion
at practices is detrimental to the
perfection of good organization.

RELIEF WORK in
EUROPE IS URGED
=. American Representatives Abroad
Tell of Terrible Conditions.
(Ry Assoeiated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Continu-
alton of relief work in Europe is
urged in kilograms from American
diplomatic representatives there
transmitted to the senate by President
Wilson in response. to a request for
Information regarding European dis
tress.
Hugh Gibson, American minister to
Poland, said continuation of relief of
children in that country was abso-
lutely necessary to avoid starvation
The Polish government and people
he said, were ''stra6ning every re-
source but were unable to provide
even a minimum for the maintenance
of children" The American commits
sioner at Berlin said a large proper
ton of children in all German cities
were seriously underfcd and that the
relief work should be continued to
save the life and preserve the health
of an entire generation"
Commissioner Frazier at Vienna
said 100000 children there were being
fed daily by the American relief adj
ministration and that great suffering
would follow cessation of the work.
All of the reports agreed that the
American relief work was assisting in
maintenance OF public work and gen.
era! attention in European countries
In transmitting the reports the pres
ident said more complete information
would be furnished later.

MRS. CHAMBERS
MAKES HIT HERE
Large Audience Hears Third of Series
of Lectures on Applied Psy-
choIogy.

1.-THE gods that we worship write
their names on our faces" said Mrs.
Chambers in her lecture at the Gar
den theatre last night In other
words, your face tells the story of the
thoughts, feelings and emotions which
dominate your mind. AS proved by
Professors Nichols and Hull, the ra-
diations of the face can be detected
at a distance of several miles. These
physicists used their own instrument.
the radiometer, in the experiments.
Mrs. ChambeI lectures at o'clock
tonight on Mind; Its Laws, Powers
and Possibilities
Judging by remarks of members of
her audience which had attended the
third of the lectures on Applied Ply
chology by Mrs. Gertrude Steele
Chambers last evening, her work is
creating much varied but favorable
comment.

circular mentioned is on file. and
