'The second number on the Y. M, C.
A. . Lyceum Course last night given at
the V. M. C;: A. prlved another Mic
cess so far as .the audience is con
cerned. TTm iinmber was a humorous
address by Paul "Sunshine" Dietrich

-t.i ... ... ..!..... u..n-
address last UlKht was built arounil
the. one Idea nerving the .community.
From the very start the speaker .told
many humorous incidents sne-h as a
lycMim speaker nlono gathers and tells.
EveTjWio of his stories had a point and
made direct application to the argu
ment he -Was trying to drive home. Ills
address. "The Hncrlfleo Hit." was built
around the famous baseball play. The
speaker affirmed thnt no one ran suc-
rccd in life without somewhere along
the line making a sacrifice to advance
thnt for the time-being seems the in
te rest of another party or cause. How
ever sooner or Inter will come his turn
to score and then the applause of the
galleries will be his. One of his, rest
Illustrations consisted of a story taken
out. of the life of he lecturer. He told
bow when a boy there was horn on
the home farm a small undersized calf.
After considerable "effort young Pan
succeeded In getting father to let. him
keep the calf as his own. Later another
calf appeared and this bioume 'Hie
-.,...,..i.i..,l"vpei-l.v of an older sister. Ijiter the
sisteKs calf died nnd Paul remained

. . V ""8 "u.n. inc. "u s nre. li s
I sister married and part of the father's
dowry 'to his daughter was Paul s cow
This broke Paul's lien rt hut no mutter
how much he bewailed the treatment
lit was made to understand thnt this
was ibis sacrifice for the success of the
home or family team, It. was a hard
pi:i for the young man to swallow but
his turn came Inter when he also mar
ried and then Dad gave him another
cow. Paul told how his only e njoyment
came when his newly-made brother-in-law
had to milk the cow which
proved to be an exceptionally hard
milker.
He came with sledge hammer blows
on the citizen who constantly klcks-on
the community for not finding in the
community what he or she wants, hut
makes no effort on their part to on
tribute anything to the community's
success. He delivered invectives
against the business man who makes
his money and success, In the com
munity without contributing a fair
return, to the community's organiza
tions like the church, school nnd Y.
M. C. A., which after nil make the
eommunlty'sStandIng In thnt particular
section of the country. Ile reminded
the audience that your neighboring
city cares not how yon succeed or fail
bui. that Its up to'every-'Hrlaeat-'ln
verr community to make tht-lr com
munity what they want It. to he.
' The audience was specially -pleased
with the address of the evening. Com
ments were made on every hund ex
pressing approval of the numbers
which have appeared so far on the
lycenm course. Secretary Martin Ver
hurg who Is acting as manager of the
local course introduced the speaker
and thanked thr audience for their
patronage and cooperation and an
nounced the nevt two numbers coming
on Peeemlier 1" nnd 20. respectively .
Mr. Dietrich spoke at tlie- Central and
High schools during the day and met
with the Rotnry club at noon and
sp.ifie to the men of that organization
on 'The Home Team."
Possibly no speaker has appeared In
the city for' a long time who could so
readily fit info the needs of the com
munity and offer such practical and
more workable suggestions. That the
number last night was an asset goes
without: saying. Concord always have
a warm spot for Mr. Dietrich and will
jyelcome him back on ,n futnre oo
Tf slon. The speaker stayed at theliomc
of Secretary and Mrs Verhurg and
left on No. .10 tbls morning for Spray
where he speaks tonight.
