On Thursday night, October
26, the first* number o f the lyce-
um course tor the season will be
given when Or. Lincoln W irt
w ifi give ids great lecture, "In
the Wake o f the W ai'-Atnerica’s
Alaska and afterward spent
en years in world-wide travel.
Since his return he has been in
great demand as a lecturer.
On M ay 1, 1915, Dr. W irt
sailed for Europe to study at
first hand the effects of War up
on modern civilisation. As bear
er o f personal letters from the
Secretary o f State, be was per
mitted to pass freely through
the jealously guarded military
zones, receiving many courtesies
from both civil and m ilitary au
thorities in five o f the countries
at war.
In his lecture Dr. W irt tells the
story of his thrilling adventures
as a War Correspondent; o f the
day the Lusitania was torpe
doed not far from his own ship;
ot his journeys over a large por
tion o f Europe, and his life in the
American Ambulance Corps. He
vividly describes the construc
tion ot trenches, redoubts and
barb-wire entanglements.
He
tells o f the engagements w it
nessed and the part played in
them by machine guns, shrapnel
bombs, hand grenades, mines,
liquid fire and asphyxiating
gases. You sit in the balcony o f
his Villa at Dunkirk while a mil
itary review is in progress; land
forces are massed on the beach,
naval forces are manoeuvering
off shore, and scores ot air craft
from monoplanes to dirigibles
are scouting overhead.
All this and much more he tells
o f what he has seen and felt at
the front, painting in the scenes
As background against which he
throws his deductions and argu
ments tor International Disarm
ament—a mo\ ement in whfth he
believes America should lead /as
a challenge of peace and good
will to the world.
£>r. W irt has recently returned
from Europe, and brings a fresh
and vital message from eleven
exhausted, bankrupt and war-
sick peoples to the one great na
tion that still holds within it the
w orld’s hope ot peace.
Following Dr. W irt will come,
in November, the Criterion Glee
Club, composed o f Frank W.
Grover, second tenor, who, be
sides being a singer is an artist,
giving crayon sketches and car
toons; Alvin Wilson, tenor and
piano soloist; Walter Wood,
bass, and aptly termed “ the fun
ny man;” Cliff R. Cline, baritone
and accompanist.
Later in the season there will
be .J. C. Herbsman, lecturer,
“ Life’s Balance Sheet;” the Lyn-
den Gordon Co., music and
reading; Edward Amherst Ott,
lecturer, “ Sour Grapes;” Keku-
ku’s Hawaiian Quintet.
In making selections o f talent
the object has been to make up
a well balanced course, in order
to pleaSe, as tar as possible, a
mixed audience with a variety ot
tastes.
All the numbers selected will
come with excellent testimonials
and it is believed to be \the
strongest course ever offered a
Newberg audience.
Season tickets will be sold at
$2.00 with reserved seat privi
leges, and may be had at Kien-
le’s Music Store and the Graphic
office.
Seats may be selected at 8:30
o ’clock on Saturday morning,
October 21, at Kienle’s.

Mr. Whipp showed his versa

in an unusually wrH chosen pro
gram, ranging from the old Ital
ian school down to the foremost
composers of the present day,
including also several of the fin
est selections from French and
U songs.
He also added to the interest
And enjoyment by his descrip
tive analysis ot ’the different
songs on his program, with in
timate sketches of the compos
ers’ lives. In fact, he quite took
the audience into his confidence.
Mr. Whipp possesses a voice of
splendid range and volume
which he uses with ease and per-
control.
Added to this a
agoetic personality and an an
al power of dramatic expres-
n makes him a singer whom

The danger ot a seed corn
shortage is not due to frost di
rect, as most of the corn is far
enough along to make good seed
but to the fact that every man
with a silo found it necessary to
rush his corn into the silo with
all haste, leaving little time for
seed selection.
By the time this gets into
