The Maynard Lectures,
The fourth number in the Centre
Hall lecture course Is a lecture by Dr.
Newell OC. Mayuoard, staff lecturer in
eugenics of the National Boclety for
Broader education, on Monday eve-
ning, in Grange Arcadia. The sub-
jects are : ' Men and Women’, “The
Happy Child”, *“ Those Who Win".
The first eubject will occupy the
speaker’s time,
This remarkable lecture while pro-
foundly scientific in its fundamental
concepts and strictly in accordance
with the established rules of modern
presentation ls nevertheless as plain
and simple in statement as they are
charming in their rhetoric.
Professor Maynard realizes that hie
audiences are composed of men and
women of eager receptivecess but as a
rule without the technical preparation
necessary to those who easily follow
the professional presentation of un-
common subjects,
Fherefore in his lectures, Professor
Maynard caste aside the technical
vocabulary. He offers profound
truths and important theories in such
language that he interests and wine
all who hear him,
In the Maynard lectures there is »
simpleness—we may almost say gentle
nees—that is most attractive and by
which the speaker successfully appeals
to men and women, whether educated
or uneducated and whether listening
through interest or gathered through
cariosity.
General admission 20 cents;
served seats, 25 cents; children,

RYAN'S OANDIDAOY
Has All the Ear-Marks of 8 Bipartisan
Scheme to Embarrass Democratic
Party,
The announcement of Michael J.
Ryan, City Solicitor, of Philadelphia,
that he is a candidate for the Demo-
orat nomination for Governor of
Pennsylvania, with its attendant and
preceding olrcumstances bears all the
ear-marks of a Penrose bi partisan
scheme to weaken and embarrass the
Democratic party in the State.
Mr, Ryan’s candidacy it must not
be forgotten was first announced some
weeks ago by Eugene C. Bonniwell in
& published statement in which he
viciously attacked the party or-
ganization and ite leaders,
All of Mr. Ryao’s support, so far ss
it has developed, is confined to the old
gang who put forth all their efforts to
prevent the reorganization of the Btale
Committee and the redemption of the
party.
The sincere Democrats of Pennpayl-
vania want harmony in the party and
the enthusiastic support of ite candi-
dates and its rolices by every man
who believes in Democratic principles.
But harmony will never be secured by
a surrender to or compromise with the
Penrose bi-partisan gang, which all
the evidence shows is behind the can-
didacy of Michael J. Ryan.
The man who is to lead the Demo-
cratic party in its fight for the re-
demption of the Btate from the control
of the Penrose machine oust be s man
absolutely above suspicion of any deal-
ings, past or present, or sfiilistions
with the bi-partisan machine, which
the Democrats of Pennsylvania have
overwhelmingly repudiated at the
polls,

“DE LAVALOWI SEPARATORS
AN hf AER AE ————
Pro ——-—
OE An 2
a SEPAR hs
This Imposing array of Inferior and worn-out machines were taken in trades
for cream saving De Lavals in a period of a little over two months by D,
W. Bradford, De Laval Agent at Centre Hall, Pa.
The photograph above is Just another one of the many illustrations of the superiority
of the De Laval Separator.
These thirty-eight machines were all traded in on account of new De Lavals by Mr.
Bradford and his bustling wife in the space of cnly a few months.
A. W, Fletcher, the De Laval superintendent with headquarters at Bedford, Pa, who
sent the photograph says, that the reason why Mr. Bradford makes so many * trades’ is because
. be himself is thoroughly convinced that the De Laval will skim a good deal closer and do much
better work than any other machine on the market, and when he finds the user of a competing
machine who has any doubt that a Ds Laval machine would give him better service and more
cream, Mr. Bradford never hesitates to put in a De Laval machine alongside of the competing
machine and demonstrate the advantage of “ trading " for the De Laval.
This serves to demonstrate the truth of the assertion we have so often made that the De
Laval machine itself is its own best salesman, and in many cases will sell itself if the agent
gives it half a chance. ee ———
