MET CUR HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Lawreace Mems Glee Club met our
high expectations and gave fine musical
treats in the Municipal Theatre on
Saturday night; and in the Congrega-
tional and Methodist churches on
Sunday. Especially must be mentioned
the very excellent program of sacred
song, given by the entire club in the
almost over crowded auditorium of
the Methodist church on Sunday night.
There were thirty-six men in the
company and they have met with
nothing but success on their tour.
While other clubs have gone broke on
their itinerary, Lawrence met with
crowded houses; because of first class
reputation and splendidly maintained
standard. Lawrence is great school
and making good in every way
To have stood forth as the leading
College Glee Club in the middle west
for twenty-five years is reputation
well worth upholding, yet this is the
distinction the Lawrence College Men s
Glee Club has earned for itself in that
time. Few college glee clubs can
boast OF so fine a set of soloists as can

of rare ability, his versatility being
highly recommended by critics
Mineral Point was indeed fortunate
in being placed on the itinerary of
this worth while organization.

Tuesday morning of this week by the

visited the Spa ice cream parlors.
Russell Ryan, an employee at the

covered what had happened, and then
not until he had lacked up the rear
wheels of the car TO enable him to
proceed with some work. When Ryan
arrived at the garage he found all
doors locked and the windows closed,
bur that was nothing unusual. DR..
Ludden. who was summoned, found
the body cold and stffening.

'<~ yILLA lays down his arms"

Nobody believed it.
This was year ago in Mexico
City. Carranza, overthrown;
Gonzales, outpoticoed; Oregon, triumphant.
And then the headlines-"villa lays down his
arms
We read after the headlines:
Villa, from an unknown village called Muz-
oais, near Sabnas, in the State Of Coahuila,
had called up the National Palace in the CAPT
tai and offered to quit fighting.
How came Villa in the village Of Muzquis
in Coahuiia, when the news before had an
nounced him in Chihuahua, ''bottled up his
little army surrounded, General Amaro ana
his Yaquis about to close in on him:
We read further:
Villa had ridden overland more than $50
miles, leading several hundred men (al that

country in absolute secrecy. So that, instead

returned. 1t has all been very simple.
THE trip was as / had been told, except,
and this was disappointment, the last
lap was made not on horseback, but IN Ford
And took not three days, but three hours.
The next day, when we were all at dinner
at the ranch we we're discussing automobiles
Villa wanted our advice about the best Amer
lean car for his family's pleasure. Don Edu-
ardo urged a Packard, but / was strong for
a Pierce-Arrow At the height Of the argu-
n1ent Villa gave US little smile.
"Well, friends. perhaps all agree on
a Ford"
"No, no, Don Francisco. Not Ford
But he meant it.
Truly, friends,' he said, "the Ford is an
exquisite thing"
He sighed and then aughed-a way he has.
Glow many hundreds Of leagues in the past
have cavorted over the land in one of those
little Fords. SO strong they are! So unpre-
tentious and so to be trusted Truly, friends.
Una cosa exquisite.
And in one of those "exquisite things It
was that we made the trip from the end of
the railroad at Rosario to the ranch Of Canu-
tillo.

1t seems another Villa follower has come in
on the same train-a tall young Indian dressed
in black corduroy suit and black Saline shirt.
His trousers are full, like Partisan Apaches :;
and his jacket beted like Greenwich Village
artists. But his hat is 'puro Meaicano.' Ole

The other two Villstas-the chauffeur and

or battered the car in Mexico it always has
two men on the front seat)-are not SO pic

Mexicans of the north, they are dressed sal

"Oh no, senorita; merely the escort for the
train But l think to myself that even with
Villa one whole year farmer those in power
have not relaxed their vigilance.
The suitcases are tied on the running board
(The Indian has one, too) We are off.
IN flash the little town and the station are
left behind, and we are in the open country.
Rolling, grass-covered hills, a brilliant green,
even, unmarried, like vast lawn stretching out
to fill the fastidous eye of some tremendous
god. Dark trees massed against the skyline in
enchanting groupings. And over all, and very
close sky so clear. so pure, one feels like
child being first told about heaven.
There is, indeed, something divine about the
whole landscape Its loneliness stretches on
mile after mile without any sign of man or
any of his works to once break the illusion.
It's silence, and its vastness. and its beauty
seem that of eternity, of nfinity, of God. SO
perfect is it's spell it seems an unknown para

edge of hill like the crest of a wave, and
there-the spell breaks for moment in the
sight Of wrecked vllage-Villa Ocampo.
Villa knew Canutillo we'll when he asked
for it, For ten years it had been part of

The ruined village is swiftly back Of the

there faint, almost unsupported signs of real
