Mr. C. William Thompson,
York Labor,
publisher of the
News, who has been doing or-
ganization work for the Social-
ist Party, working out of Mey-
ersdale the past two weeks,
left Sunday to continue his
work in the north end of Som-
erset county. Mr. Thompson
is well pleased with the good
results he got in this end of
the county, and has hopes for
equally as good results in the
northern district. While here
he made many friends, from
whom he was reluctant to be
parted so soon, although time
may see him back in our midst
again when he can be of furth-
er service to our movement in
this district. “Service” is the
watchword in the Socialist
movement, as in any great mor-
al crusade. and it sometimes
severs a tie of friendship to
the regret of all parties con-
cerned. so we will seek c¢com-
fort in the belief that a gentle-
man of Mr. Thompson's accom-
plishments will have friends
wherever his services are re-
quired.

CHAUTAUQUA'S MAN OF MYS-
TERY
“The Creat BSrush.®
Edwin Brush is the Chautangua’s
man of mystery, the illusionist, ma-
gician, and entertainer with weird
Hindu, Occidental, and Oriental mag-
ic. Brush’'s night is the night of
nights for the boys and girls, and
some grown-ups. It will contain two
hours of surprises, laughs and provok-
ing fun of the strange and mysteri-
ous. Comedy runs all through the
program, and his jokes together with
his tricks give you two entertainments
in one. Many critics consider Mr.
Brush to he the leading magician upon
the piaiforin. But
Brush is more than a magician, more
than an entertalner; he is a great mor-
alist. As he aptly puts it, “I want to
make men better. I do tricks for a
purpose. I want to show men the evil
of gambling, and the folly of the
games of chance. The purpose of a
lyceum,” continues Mr. Brush, “should
be to educate and entertain. First to
create a taste for good, clean, moral
things; then to cultivate that taste and
never give it up.”
Come out on the fifth night and
hear the great Brush, the Witty Wiz-
ard, the Mirth Provoker, and the Mas-
ter Magician. He will make you for-
get your troubles and feel that life is
really worth living.

his graduate work and travels he has
made an extensive study of German
philosophy and German education
Why Germany sclfishly plunged the
world into war, and the preparation
of the child for future responsibility,
are the vital topics to be interesting-
ly discussed by Dean Holmes on the
afternocn and evening of the fourth
day.
For fifteen years Dean Holmes has
Leen a preminent figure in the nation’s
educational gatherings. He has the
voice and the magnetic power of an
O’Connell and the physique and logic
of a Webster. Every father, mother,
ang patriot should hear him.

AMERICA’S BEST IN MUSIC
Van Vliiet-Mathieson Company.
Few cities outside of the larger cen
ters of population, such as Chicago,
New York and Cincinnati, are given
an opportunity to hear such high-grade
artists as those who make up the Van
Vliet-Mathieson Company. Your Chau-
tauqua on the last day is assured of a
rare treat of high-grage music. Their
presentations are standard, but not so
standard as not to be popular, and not
so popular as not to be standard. Cor-
nelius Van Vliet is ranked as one of
the world’s great cellists. He has ap-
peared in solo work with the Minne
apolis Symphony Orchestra, with Tes
trazzini, and Mary Garden. :
Christian Mathieson, also of the Min-
neapolis Symphony Orchestra, is one
of the leading tenors of this country, .

periors in the musical world.

such variety as to meet the tastes of
all music lovers. Remember that when

among the best that America offers.
