CONSIDER the Berkeley Sextette tlie finest entertainment orchestra
now before the public," says Louis O. Runner, the -well known organizer and coach. "The programs represent the most advanced type of
high grade, refined entertainment known to dhe American public. Classical
music is made interesting to all, and popular music is given a new charm.
Orchestra numbers, readings, songs, instrumental solos and costumed selections make up this thoroughly pleasing entertainment."
Six talented and vivacious young women, of fine platform presence and
with distinct musical ability, attracted to each other by a mutual love of
music and thoroughly coached and trained in a program of fine variety, the/
Berkeley Sextette, soon to be heard on the lyceum course, will more than'
make good the enthusiastic recommendation quoted above.   Hear them. /

A LETTER TO THE FABMEKS
OF WASHTExVAW COUNTY
Now that peace is signed many
people will no doubt feel that they
are justified figuratively speaking, in
sitting back in their chairs and with
a sigh of -relief assure themselves
that their duty is done. I believe
that as we are a part of this world,
we should feel in our country as the
rest of the world must feel, that outwork is only begun. Reconstruction
is expensive—-whether soil—industry
of men. The next Liberty Loan will
be the biggest yet. The next demand on every institution developed
in this country to meet the heeds of
the Waj* will be the largest yet. The
work to be' done will be constructive.
Isn't it as much worth while?
The next year will be the most;
"trying for the boys. Inactivity j
breeds homesickness, longing or reek- ■
lessness as the case may be. De-'
mobilization cannot come for months
for any, years for most of the men ;

My Dear Sir:
From my understanding of the objects and aims of the United War
Work Campaign I unhesitatingly
commend them. The work required
in the war stricken regions of Europe
is of stupendous importance and the
relief which has been granted thus
far has been one of the greatest evidences of the benefits of our christian civilization. There is, however,
an unlimited amount of work to be
done and every patriot will sacrifice
for this cause. This service may not
be so spectacular as that of battle
but it is quite as essential and its
importance cannot well be overmag-
nified.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed)   CHARLES E. TOWNSEND

FOR  AMERICAN   CHILDREN,
PLEASE
A mother "doing her Christmas
shopping early" in one of our larger
Michigan cities, was astonished to
find some cheap little sets of toy-
dishes stamped "Made in Germany."
She reported the matter to the State
Chairman of the Woman's Committee, who feels called upon to suggest
that no child of any loyal American
shall be the recipient of such gifts,
no matter how much "marked down"
at the bargain counter. It should
also be made clear to any merchant
that he has made a decidedly bad
bargain in offering such articles for
sale.
It would surely be an amazing-
thing if little American children,
among whose earliest remembrances
are the detestation and horror of
their parents at the deeds of the
Hun, should find that "Santa Glaus"
has brought them gifts straight from
that God-forsaken territory. One
does not envy the parent who undertakes to explain this discrepancy to
a wide-awake, 100% American child.
The State Chairman of the Woman's Committee earnestly requests
that no "made in Germany" merchandise of any description be purchased or accepted as gifts.
Miss Minnie Roys of Ypsilanti visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
A. G. Soop Sunday.
