I'KKU NOIOlAfi NOTES
The Normal Is considering a Chau
tauqua In connection with the mm
tn?r Bchool, to take the place of the
uaual lecture course. The Peru
Commercial Club is co-operating
with the budget committee In thla
Biovement.
During the recent state association
a number ol Peru people were elect
ed to offices of prominence. Miss
Tibblts was made president of the
Nebraska Women's Educational
Club; Professor Uarly, chairman of
a committee to arrange a course of
study In agriculture for the high
schools of the state; Professor Hoyt,
president of the Physical Science
Club; and Professor CJregg. president
of the Hygiene Association and aUo
of the Association of Teachers of
Education.
ine root Da u season cloned on
jrnanisgmng cay, witn a game
. against Catner University, and Peru
scored another, victory. A record
breaking crowd witnessed the game.
Only two colleges have succeeded In
' scoring against Peru this year, and
only once have we been defeated.
Thanksgiving Day was virtually a
home-coming day. A large number
of aLumul and other former students
look advantage of this opportunity
to visit Peru friends and attend the
game.
Miss Munts will give a lecture on
art at Hlverton, la., December ?.
Jrofeesor Hoyt will lecture at Elm
wood the same evening.
On December 8, President Hayes
will address the teachers and patrons
of Humboldt, and Dean Ko,use will

' -A'THAXKHUIVIXU HOULOO.UY
A. II. Oroh, writing In the. Omaha
Dally Dee, In meditating on the
gloomy outlook for Thanksgiving In
Nebraska, rendered the following
pathetic ballad:
Thanksgiving day! O. friends wot
a mockery! Wot a hollow mockery!
What have we to be thankful for.
when we look about us and see many
families In this great state of Nebras-
' ka who haven't even got an automo
bile? Some are struggling slong with
out a piano. Yes, my friends, and the
chartible associations know of cases
where there are destitute families
without even a talking machine!
These are facts that must be looked
iuarely In the fsce.
Our soil this year produced 183,-
300.000 bushels of corn, worth $128.
320,000, a mere bagatelle of 8107 for
each man, woman and child- in the
Btate. The other crops were worth
about $183,000,000, or $163 for each
person In the state.
In agriculture, live stock, dairy,
fruit and manufactures the state pro
duced this year $850,000,000, which,
would be a mere $708 for each man,
woman and child.
It calls to our despairing minds the
beautiful words of the pole:
"Nothing to eat but food
Nothing to breathe but air,
Nothing to wear but clothes
To keep us from going bare.
"Nothing to spend but cash.
Nothing, alas, alack! , ,
Nowhere to go but out,
Nowhere to come but back'-
As far as our beef supply is con
cerned, only 2,443,000 cattle stand
between us and starvation. This is
only about two head of cattle for each
man, woman and child. There are
only about one and one-fourth hogs
In the state for each man, woman and
child and only about ten chickens for
each man, woman and child.
In the state and national banks of
Nebraska the people have on deposit
but $300,000,000, or about $250 for
each, person. Of course, this doesn't
Include savings banks and building
and loan associations.
Nebraska's egg crop this year
wasn't worth much more than all the
gold and silver mined In Colorado
and California.
Nebraska s agricultural and live
stock production this year was worth
oqly a little more than all the coal
mined and used In the entire nation
In the year.
All the products of Nebraska's soli
for the year could be carried on a
train less than 13,000 miles long.
In short, our wealth Isn't half as
great as It would be If it were three
times as great.
Uut let us pluck up courage. Let It
never be said of us that we gave up
when prospects were so dark that we
couldn't see our way to owning a
limousine. True, some of our people
will have to get through the winter
without talking machines. But next
year may bring brighter hopes and
the poor who today lack such neces
sities as automobiles may all have
them.
. Courage, friends, courage!

TUN MUIITS IN A UAIt-KOOM
la New Every Time You Ke It
Opera HouNe, Wed., Dec. 13
This beautiful melodrama depicts
a series of truthful scenes In the
course of a drunkard's life. Some
of them are touching In the extreme,
and some seem dark and terrible.
Step by step is portrayed the down
ward course of the tempting vender
and his Infatuated victim, until both
are Involved In hopeless ruin. The
plsy Is marred by no exaggerations,
but exhibits the actualities of life
with a severe simplicity and adher
ance to the truth that gives to every
picture a - photographic vividness.
The large audiences seem to be In
full sympathy with the moral of the
story, and laugh at Samuel 8wltchel,
sympathize with poor drunken Joe
Morgan, and weep at the death of
little Mary.
