The attendance this year has not been up to the usual standard, due perhaps to a number o f causes,-chief o f which is a'tightening o f the family purse-strings. m ' a * i - Warden Preston ,13.

The BepubJieau have rooms on the first-floor o f one o f the down town hotels While the Democrats are lo­ cated f on the mezMutias floor o f the same hostelry. Assignments are be­ ing made by the speaker's bureau and it won’t be long now until the spell­ binders tare touring the state in aa endeavor to convince the electors that the country can only be made safe by voting for their respective condidatas. As the Autumn days approach and the evening become cooler the regu­ lars Who occupy the seats, benches and lawn o f the State Housepark, arm thinning out and seeking new quar­ ters. However, it fa still a favorite place of rest hr the day time and the squirrels are fa r from lonesome. Park police are active in routing the -un­ desirables and fo r this they have the thanks o f those who really enjoy the privileges which the state furnished its citizens, With the tall stately shade trees, well kept lawns, monu­ ments and memorials, it is indeed an interesting as well as restful place to while away an idle hour or two.

It is A project fop the <y**Gtl9U management o f which CedsrviUe elects six men as members o fT h e Lecture Course Com­ mittee. To them is assigned the task o f selecting tlie talent, literary, musi­ cal;. magical, or whatever they feel; will possess the .greatest value fo r their community as. judged from the standpoints o f [entertainment mid edu­ cation. To them is also given the work of. selling a sufficient number o f tickets.for said course to meet all. the expenses, including ,the* payment o f artists* the rental o f the Opera Ijouae, the purchase o f tickets and the pay- m en tfor advertising. If.the commit­ tee ends the season with' .a balance they,are- very, glad while, if there is a deficit, they must discover ways mid means o f making it .up. another thing.*which gives tho mem­ bers o f the committee- the most real satisfaction, and that is to’ feel tha t.* course has more than measured up to the expectations o f the community who,have bought the tickets and paid the bills, the assurance that fo r every dollar that has been spent there foas been an adequate and satisfactory re­ turn-. ip pleasure and enjoyment to­ gether with splendid educational and inspirational values. For years-the-community has-main­ tained a splendid course and, the mem­ bers o f committees are to be congra­ tulated on the faithful and efficient manner in which they have-done tiieir work as .well as on the high quality of entertainments . and lectures which have been brought to the town .. Cedarville is more than; an. average community, the splendid High School, and Cedarvilie College, besides other agencies, have contributed to this end.' This fa ct moreover must b e con­ sidered when a/committee purchases the attractions for the season.

To "purchase high class talent de­ mands the expenditure o f more money ;thki. some cheaper add disappointing attraction might demand, but With this, as With everything else, it is found out that the higher class attrac­ tion is the cheapest in -the end. Indeed the continuance o f a Lyceum course' demands that, so fa r .as possible, the talent .shall always be the best that money can buy, because people enjoy the beat and are Willing to pay fo r it. The Committee fo r the present sea­ son has sensed this need fo r high class attractions. They wanted to put on a course which they could .most hearti­ ly recommend to the community; .a course which is the highest priced course, ever brought before a Cedar- ville audience, and which they are therefore' sure fa the highest class course ever offered here. In order that you. may kndw all there is to be known about this matter we are going to tell y.ou just what each attraction was listed a t as a single number, just what that same attraction costs in tbe course and the total cost o f the entire course. Thursday, October 25. Count Felix von Luckner, who as a single attrac­ tion hft3 been booked all over the country at $500.00, and who in onr course lx listed mt $300.00. Friday, December 14. Edralin’s Filipino Quartet, which as a single attraction sells for $150.00, and in the course comes at $100.00. Monday, January 14. The Schubert Mate Quartet, which alone draws $250.00, and hi thikacourse costs $200. Friday, March 11, Shaver's Jubilee Singers, which sells alone at $200.00, but which was put in our course at $125.00. Alone, these attractions would cost $1100.00, while in this years course they cost $725.00. This fa $270.00 more than last years course cost. You will note too that there are ohly four numbers. This-change was made be­ cause the committee fe lt tiust it would be better to have the four attractions named than five o f a lower quality, May we assure you that this course Was not purchased with out extended consideration, and the members o f -your committee. are sure that they have done the? best thing possible for your Lyceum. Course, and that they piay therefore ask fo r your enthusias­ tic support. They Are going to do all: in their power to put this course over, and feel sure that i f you hear'only the first ftuifiber your course will be cheap to you.
