The second Lyceum number to be
given at the Star this season will
be given next Monday evening, Feb.
18th, when Harold Morton Kramer
will. deliver his humorous Lecture
"Laughter-The Gift of the God"
This is one of the most timely
lectures offered the public. People
need it individually. Business needs
it. 1t is a tonic wrapped up in
laughter.
During the summer Mr.. Kramer
gave this lecture on one hundred
Chautauquas, and the manager of
that Circuit writes: "Kramer's lee
ture on Laughter was one hundred
per cent winner"
Give yourself a good cheer bath.
This lecture will do it. 1t isn't fool
ishness. 1t sparkles with laughs, but
it is filled with good sense and help
fulness.
In addition to Mr.. Kramer, a six
pant Comedy-drama Feature film,
with Elaine Hammerstein starring
will be shown. Pictures start at 700
and Lecture about 8:15 and the very
small prices of Is and 33c cover all

Williams Was Fine

Louis Williams, the Electrical Wiz
ard, presented his entertainment at
the Star Theatre, last Wednesday
evening, and altho the weather was
very unfavorable for a large turn
out, those who did hear him are most
all of the opinion that it was one
of the finest entertainments ever
presented in the city. The expert
ments and lectures were most instruc-
tive and with Mr.. Williams keen
sense of humor he kept a smile upon
the faces of his listeners most of
the time. .
1t was with real regret that the
audience accepted his good night.
The second and last Lyceum num-
Der the Star is putting on, will be
given next Monday night, Feb. 18th,
when Harold Merton Kramer, author,
Journalist, Traveller, will deliver his
humorous lecture "Laughter-A Gift
of the Cod. More particulars of
this are given in another column of

BEN BEAR WRITES.
FROM new YORK
Continued from first page)

armed with revolvers in plain sight,
guarding the mails as it was taken
from one postoffice to another.
Judging from the crowds one sees
and the building which is going on,
one must believe that there is a
good future for the country, and that
better things are in store, because
after all said done, there is only
one real great country and that's
America, which will continue to lead
the world.
The feeling is that the disarma-
ment conference has been a success,
and the stopping of building expen-
sive battleships, for which hundreds
of millions have been paid, will now
be a thing of the past, and millions
and millions will be saved to all the
people. And while eliminating bat
tleships will not stop all wars, it
will lessen the causes, and will tend
to make nations not so jealous of
one another, and more willing to
settle differences by arbitration.
Wholesalers and manufacturers
with whom | came in contact be-
lieve we have turned the corner, as
business seems to be on the mend,
and they are all preparing for better
times. Merchandise is getting close
to normal, and benefits will be in
quality, rather than in poor NEE
chandie. From what | have seen,
wearing apparel looks more attrac-
tive than ever, and the stock pur-
chased for early spring will surely
please all our good friends and Gus
toners, as | have been especially
careful in selecting only such goods
that will be satisfactory to our
trade at home.
Trusting these few lines will find
you well, and with my best regards
to one and all, believe me as always.
Sincerely,
..... BEN BEAR.

A Good Time Planned

The young peoples Sunday school
class of the Congregational church
are planning a rather novel enter
tainment for next Monday evening.
They are to have a theater party
with each one dressed to resemble
his or her favorite film star. That
is as near as possible because il
would be most impossible for some
small person to represent a large
actor.
There will undoubtedly be many
different costumes and a very enjoy
able time is expected.
