No announcement of the coming season carries with it more impor
 tance than that of the forthcoming appearance on November IT at the Jefferson of Nora Bayes, the brilliant musical comedy star; Nora Bayes, whose recent successes in London have added to her international fame as one of the worlds most gifted and delightful entertainers. No singer of songs today can so enthrall an au- dience as can Nora Bayes; in fact, she has but two equals in the realm of popular entertainment-Sir Harry Lauder and Al Jolson.

SEES LABOR IN POWER
VIII Control British Government By
 1926, Says Parliament Member

WALLSEND, Eng, Oct. 27.-tBy Associated Press.)-There will be labor government in this country in 1926 and Ramsay Mcdonald will be prime minister, said Patrick Hast ings, Kings counsel and labor mem- Der of Parliament, in the course of a speech to his constituents here re- gently. He deduced this from the fact that before 1910 labor votes could be counted by few thousands, but in 1918 the number was 2,250,000 while last year it was 4,500,000. At that rate of progress, he said. there would be a labor government in power by 1926.

CHAPTER XVII
Think Of Il.

Ames was an inspiration. Jim irwin
received from the great agricultural
college more real education in this one
trip than many students get from q
| four years course in it's halls; for he
| had spent ten years in getting ready
! for the experience. The great farm OF
hundreds of acres, all under the man
agement of experts, the beautiful cam
pus, the commodious classrooms and
laboratories, and especially the barns,
the greenhouses, gardens, herds and
fiocks filed him with sort of apos-
tolic joy.
Every sciN,ol," said he to Professor
Withers, fought to be doing a good
deal Of the work you have to do here"
"I'll admit said the professor,
that much of our work in agriculture
is pretty elementary"
TITS intermediate school work." said
Jim. Its wrong to force boys and
girls to leave their homes and live in
college to get so much of what they
should have before they're ten years
DID,
There's something in what you
say" said the professor, "but some
experiment station men seem to think
that agriculture in the common schools
will take from the young men and
women the felt need. and therefore the
desire to come to the college"
IF you can't give them anything
better than high-school work." said
Jim, "that will be so; but if the sci
ence and art Of agriculture is what
think it is 1t would make them hungry
for the advanced work that really
can't be done at home. To make the
children wait until they're twenty is
to deny them more than half what the
college ought to give them-and make
them pay for what they don't get"
Il think you're right" said the pro-
fessor.

for" cried Jim, land I'll fill a college

BIG ten DIRECTORS
TO PLAN SCHEDULES

CHICAGO. November 3O-An i'm
coaches and faculty athletic repre-
sentatives from the ten western con-
ference universities assembled here
today for their annual gathering to
shape sport schedules and discuss
common problems. Out of their two
day meeting will come foot ball. base
ball, indoor and outdoor track, swim
ming and wrestling schedules, and in
addition possibly a new rule or two.
Consensus of opinion before the fni-
tial gathering today was that there
would be few alterations in the sport
schedules followed by the various
institutions this year. 1t likewise ap-
peared that there were no pressing
problems to cause extended discuss
sion.
The initial meetings will be given
over to talks between the various uni
versity Representatives. The case of
E. c. Gerber, Wisconsin tackle, dis
qualified in the middle of the last
foot ball season for Y. M. c. A. activi-
ties, is to be brought up and may be
considered today, according to word
from Wisconsin. 1t may be asked that
the athlete be cleared of charges of
professionalism.
A number of coaches from nom con-
ference :; schools. including Coach
Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, are to
be at the gathering.
The feeling seems to be that Illinois
and Michigan will resume relations
on the gridiron next year. probably at
Urbana. Both Coach Yost and Coach
Zuppke are prepared to arrange a
meeting.
The break between Ohio and Wis
consin a few years back is recalled
with intimation that there might be
some advances toward a resumption
of relations between the two schools.
It was also said that Wisconsin was
considering renewal of foot ball re-
lations with Northwestern, probably
dropping Indiana from the Badger
schedule.

TO END GRID SEASON
BY WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK, November 30.-The
biggest Of all games with which the
seasons ends Saturday probably will
be that between the Quantico Marines
and the Sd Army Corps at Wash
ington.
This game will draw service men,
Us well as the general crowd, from
Baltimore and Philadelphia as well
rs from Washington itself. 1t was
big occasion last year, with a fiercely
contested match. and it promises to
be the same this year.
The big question is whether the
Sd Army Corps can stop Goettge of
she Marines If they fail in that they
are lost. If they stop him they may
win.
Boston will have a good game, too,
IN the Bosteu College-Holy Cross
contest, with the odds slightly favor
ing the former If all her men are in
good condition.
Fordham and Georgetown will pro-
vide the New York game. Fordham
has had pretty hard luck. all season,
but Georgetown also has suffered
some defeats, and each will try to
make satisfactory roundup of the
season.
Centre and Georgia meet at Athens.
with Centre the favorite.
Seattle will have a good game be-
tween Washington and oregon, with
Washington favored to win.
