There is but one way to get rid
of the chicken nuisance. Kill the

into their owners lots. Commence
that and the chicken nuisance will
soon become ancient history.

LECTURE TO-NIGHT
On Saturday evening at 7:30 Prof.
Weed of Chicago, will give a steri-
optican lecture in the music hall on
the West Side. His subject "More
Beautiful Norman" will be illustrated
by one hundred fine pictures ilus-
rating beautiful yards, parks, court
house and school grounds and forms
of landscape gardening. The lec-
ture is intensely practical and is
highly endorsed by the General Fed-
eration of Woman's Clubs. Prof.
Weed comes under the auspices of
the civic committees of the Coterie,
and in view of the fact that Norman
is planning foward movements along
all lines of public improvements the
forward movement along the line of
beautiful effects should not be ne-
glected. Ruskin's doctrine that love
for the beautiful in nature and art
and an opportunity to gratify that
love should be the heritage of every
man, both rich and poor, is surely
the doctrine being adopted by all
up to date towns and cities of the
present, and Norman citizens should
avail themselves of the practical
help which this illustrated lecture will
afford them. All school children will
be admitted free of charge. The
small sum of 10 cents will be charg-
ed adults to defray actual expenses.
