The faculty of the University of
Wisconsin is doing much to popu-
larize that institution-to make its
work tell to the advantage of the
people at large. The Experiment
Station work is almost exclusively
in the interest of agriculturists, and
the results are given publicity. Eve
ny farmer knows, OF may know,
what advantages accrue to him from
the work of the Agricultural Col
lege. Bulletins of the results of
these experiments are published and
distributed free and recently much
literature is being sent to the local
press for publication. We shall
publish the gist of these communica-
tons as we have room, giving pref
erence to such facts as seem of APP
plication to this immediate vicinity.
The method of treating seed oats for
the prevention of smut has been
published so often that all the farm
ers know how to act in the emer-
gency. The same is true also of the
treatment of seed potatoes to pre-
vent scab. In this treatment farm
ers have largely benefited. In the
matter of commercial stock foods
the Station is doing good work in
determining adulteration and work
ing for such purity of such foods as
the law contemplates. The first
work of the University in examin-
ing the foods found much adultera-
ton and persistent efforts along this
line with resultant prosecutions of
the guilty parties has had the effect
ofimproving the constitution of these
commercial foods.

AL Fresco Luncheon for violinist

Prominent musicians, artists, authors
and social leaders know Mrs. S. c. Foy
and her daughters as charming host
esses and their home on the San
Rafael ranch as delightful place to
be entertained.
No more unique and beautiful affair
has ever been given by them than the
reception and al fresco luncheon with
which they entertained a large COM
pany of guests yesterday afternoon in
honor of Emile Sauret, the French
violinst, who arrived in Los Angeles
Sunday. M. Sauret was Miss Edna
Foy's teacher, and she was the hostess
yesterday, being assisted by her moth
er and sisters. The reception hours
were from II to O'Clock, and a dainty
luncheon was served in the garden.
Small tables were placed under the
large trees, and this at Christmas time
was delightful feature to the guests
who cannot call Los Angeles their
home.
A splendid musical program had been
arranged, but conversation over the
luncheon tables and chats with the dis
tinguished guest proved so interesting
that there was only time for few of
the numbers. Last evening Miss Foy
entertained many guests at the Sauret
concert given at Simpson auditorium,
and there were many other women who
entertained guests at the same affair.

Engagement of Miss Blanche Rogers
and Harry Clifford Lott Is AM
nounced-WiIl Be Married
In February

Miss Blanche Rogers and Harry
Clifford Lott will become joint partners
in a permanent concert company next
February and Cupid approves most
heartily of the plan.
Why shouldn't he, for the combina-
ton is one of the little blind gods own
manufacture and it is also safe to pre-
dict that it will meet with the approval
of their many friends.
Miss Rogers is one of the leading
pianists of Los Angeles and many peo-
pie believe she has not n peer as an
accompanist. OF. Mr.. Lott and his
splendid baritone voice there is little
need to speak, for he is known in mu-
sical and social circles as few musicians
are known.
For two years Miss Rogers and Mr..
Lott have been giving chamber con-
certs together and these have been pat
ronized by the prominent lovers of
music and leaders of the smart set.
Many a matron has taken a kindly
interest in the beautiful young blonde
and the handsome bachelor, and per-
haps few maids-Would that be tell
ing?-well, perhaps a few maids have
taken an interest in at least one Of
them.
what an ideal match that would be-"
has been heard on every hand, and
now the hopes are to be realized
Miss Rogers and Mr.. Lott have an
nounced their engagement and have
even gone farther and announced that
the wedding will probably take place
in February.
In social and musical circles the news
will be received with pleasure and there
will undoubtedly be a round of enter
tanning in honor of the couple which
will keep them busy for several weeks.
Miss Rogers is the daughter of Mrs.
Adela A. Rogers of 912 West Twentieth
street and sister of Earl Rogers. She
has been the accompanist for the
Treble Clef club ever since the club
was first organized and to the Ebell
club she is indispensable in the same
capacity. AS piano soloist Miss
Rogers is no less in demand and her
name appears on more musical pro-
grams than the name of any other
pianist in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Lott is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
William Henry Lott, recently of Colum-
bus, o.
He has been soloist at many of the
Ellis club concerts and also at the
Treble club concerts. His father is the
director of the Treble Clef club and
is prominent in musical circles in Los
Angeles and in the cast.
