To Have Lyceum Course Alvo will be fortunate in having a Lyceum course this winter. The Cad mean Chautauqua system is putting on a course under the auspices of the school, which will consist of four numbers. The first attraction will be J. R.Barkely in crayon, cartoons and clay modeling. This is ah es pecially entertaining number, the last part of which is not often seen on the Iyceum stage. The second num ber will be an entertainment by Mis3 Cora B. Lanham, who will give a series of readings and a descriptive talk on the costumes of France and their significance. The third num ber will be The Scotts, who together give a number of character sketches in costume, Harry Lauder songs and Irish folk numbers. The fourth num ber will be a local number prepared and given by the teachers of the : Alvo schools. I Mr. Barkely will be here on Oc tober 13, In the opening number. Public School Notes Attendance in the school has been very good this fall. It is to be hoped that it continues to be so during the entire school year. j Mr. Lynn Keefer, nephew of Mr. Chris Keefer of this city, visited the school one day last week. Mr. Keef er has Just graduated from the high school at Covina, California, and is now paying his first visit to this part of the country. The faculty was very pleasingly entertained by the ladies of the Methodist church and community on Tuesday night. The spirit of the occasion and the good will shown on the part of all were greatly appre ciated. Ice cream and cake were served. Mr. Howard McKeeney, principal of the high school, spent the week end at the home of Mr. C. T. Ed wards. Miss Noyes and Miss Haddon were at home at Louisville; Miss Trautt at Lincoln and Miss Arnold and Miss Mayer were visiting In Lincoln. A number of the pupils have been excused from their school duties in order to attend the County fair at Weeping Water. Many of them have made entries In the various depart ments. The good that they get from this sort of work very largely re places that which they would get if they were in school. Miss Anna Trautt, in addition to her regular work in the kindergart en, is giving a course in Art to the pupils of the remaining rooms. She has had a number of special courses in the university in thi3 work and we feel that the school is to be con gratulated on being able to take ad vantage of her training and ability. Miss Doris Arnold entertained the teachers of the school at the home of Mrs. L. Lauretson on Wednesday night. ' September 21. The evening was spent in making candy, playing games and getting acquainted with each other. All were able to report for duty the following morning. In spite of the hulls found in the nut candy, the responsibility for which seems to lie between Miss Mayer and Mr. McKenney. mmiimMW C I G AR ETTW oasiei Notice this delicious flavor when you smoke Lucky Strike it's sealed in by the toasting process STRIKE LIST GROWS; SIXTY-NINE WALKOUTS I Greatest Number in History Except During World War Plans' to Lower Living Cost.

Wescott's Sons 'EVERYBODY'S STORE' CONTEST ATTRACT ED MUCH INTEREST Arards Made Last Evening in Word Contest Staged by Store of C. E. Wescott's Sons The contest that has been con ducted at the store of C. E. Wes cott's Sons for the past week for the largest number of words that could be formed from the letters in the firm name, has attracted a great deal of attention and some very keen competition among the boys of the city. There had been a large number of prizes offered and the competi tion was spirited among the school boys to cop the chief prize, a line $10 srweater. The lists were turned over yesterday to a committee of three teachers of the high school who carefully listed and checked the various lists and at 4:30 the award was made. The Judges decided that the chief prize, the $10 sweater, was won by Robert Wurl. with a total of 212 jcorrectly spelled words formed from the letters of the name C. E. Wescott's Sons, no letter appearing more times than it did in the firm name. The two second prizes were awarded to Clifford Duxbury with 210 words and Rudolph Iverson with 196 correctly spelled words. The three third prizes were given to Norris Cummins and Joe Schla with 165 each and Charles Ma jors with 158 words. There were a large number of minor prizes given with lists rang ing from 155 to 100 correct words. During the time of the contest boys have been carefully studying the words that might be formed and as a result many words were discovered that do not enter into or dinary use and the time spent has certainly been well spent. Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, interjected that he and other oppo nents of the anti-beer bill were not to be bound by Mr. Sterling's un derstanding with the republican leaders. Republican leaders of the senate expressed gratification today at the prompt ratification by the German reichstag of the peace treaty with Germany. "I am very glad that the German government has acted so promptly," said Senator Lodge. M. L.

An agree ment was reached by the senate late today to impose a debate time limit of one hour on each senator in con sideration of the peace treaties with Germany, Austria and Hungary be ginning October 14, in order to ex pedite a vote on ratification. Under the agreement it is expected that the vote will be reached on Octo ber 14 or 15. The original plan for an agree ment to vote on October 14 was abandoned after Senator Lodge, the republican leader, and Senator Un derwood, the democratic leader, had found that unanimous consent would not be nrotracted after the hour rule goes into effect. The agree ment also provides that senators shall be limited to ten minutes for consideration or reservations. The voting agreement was held up temporarily and almost rejected today by managers of the anti-beer bill who, fearing this measure might .be side tracked, forced Senator Lodge to delay presenting the agree ment. Speaking later for the prohibition: group, however. Senator Sterling, re publican. South Dakota, said his fears for the anti-beer measure had proven unfounded. "In fact, in conference with re nnhliran leaders." he said. "I have secured an even more distinct and ' explicit understanding that the; anti-beer bill will be taken up and that there will be no adjournment, of this session of congress until the ( conference report (on the proulbi-i tion measure) Is disposed of."
