Jesse D. Franks has made arrange
ments for the affair
At first it was planned TO have

Prof. Chas. Butler
Entertains Tuesday

Last June, while he was attending
the Edison Caravan Convention in
New Orleans. Mr.. l.. f Lide met the
Damn Trio and heard performance
given by them. Mr. Lide is now max
ing an effort to secure these popular
entertainers for an engagement here
The Damn Trio is composed of a
father and his two daughters, ard
they have with them wonderful
tenor singer Of the name Of Harvey
Hindermeyer One Of the young ladies
plays the coinet and the other plays
the violin The father performs on
the piano From the way Mr. Lide
refers to this splendid musical or
gauizaton we are led to believe that
il is composed of artists who are top
notchers. Probably the most inter-
estinp feature Of all is that the tickets
will te free for TIE asking. as Nj
Lidc has planned TO again put the
New Edison side by side with these
artists for comparative test
Columbus music lovers are hoping
that Mr. Lidc will be successful in
securing the Damn Trio, as they re-
member with much pleasure the de-
lightful evening spent with Miss

When The college community came
together for its semi-weekly convoca-
lion on Friday, expectancy was in
he air, for 1t was rumored that MIR.

proceeded to make an interesting and
lelpful speech. He spoke to the girls
in an intimate, conversational man
1er, stressing the Importance Of
thrift, economy, and system in the
game Of getting ahead I'M life. He
emphasized the thought that life was
lot intended for money making, but
'or service to ones fellowman, and
that wealth properly understood is
out a means to an end-and that end
The elevation and enrichment of all
life.
Mr. Jones spoke Of the work Of the
Field Cooperative Club" at NJ. S,
G. W., and Of the fine record of its
members. This is the club which Mr., /.
Jones himself organized and the ex-
pcnses Of whose members he has pro-
yided for He explained that the

in honor Of his mother, and that its
work Of helping worthy girls is to be
IN enduring memorial to her. There
are sixty-three members of the club
turing the present session, and Mr., +,
tones complimented them on the high
standards of scholarship they are
and the apparent pro-
sress they have made in other ways.

would leave her name with Miss Sale, !

\ New York, Dec. Ia Ferdinand
Foch, grey and slight, but bearing
with him every honor that America
could bestow upon one Of alien citi.
zcnshir, badc farewell to cheering
throngs here today and sailed away
to France
In his baggage were six great eases
filed with gifts from the people Of
this continent who thronged to sec
/ him during his tour Of the United
States and Canada, and lend their
voices in acclaim Of the man who
hurled Germany's legions back from
the soil Of France and won victory
IN history's greatest conflict. Since
coming to America late in October
Marshal Foch has travelled nearly 15,
900 miles, made more than 500 speech
es, attended lunchcons and banquets
beyond computation ard has heard
the voice Of America from upwards
Of 100000 men and women and
children.
He has Travelled over the wide ex-
panses Of the American continent
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the inland seas to the gulf. He
had also trod the streets Of the prin-
cipal cities of Eastern Canada.
Everywhere he had received gifts.
Here it was an honorary college de-
gree there a medal of gold or a
trinket or two, and yonder pet or a
flower, or maybe just a wee token
of esteem, admiration and love. He
betrayed the fact, with the receiving
of each Of the gifts, that his heart
was touched, and each one was with
him today when he boarded the liner
Paris for home.
His luggage included score and a
half Of parchments, attesting he had
been accorded honorary degrees by
Americas leading universities and
colleges. There was one crate full of
Montana wildcat Of the bob-taied
splitting, but not very dangerous type,
by American Legionnaires.
Another crate contained a white Ches-
.cr pig from Iowa, also a Legion gift.
There was a whole box of medals and
nedallions; a golden and bcjeweled
,word in a golden scabbard; a gold !
leaded cane and half dozen or so Of |
owing cups A union bricklayer's |
ard was to be found, also, in the |
possession.

truth Of that expression has haon
shown scores of times but never mara
markedly than in the cases of ClarE

To this is doubtless due much Of the
vlriity Of the party that was born
with the Republic and has attended
the funeral Of several Of its rivals. 4
