MEN have no organization in the
world that is doing as much for the
world at the present time and for civ
ilization as the National Federation of
Women's Clubs, said Prof Zeublin
Of Chicago in an address at Minneap-

stronger mentally, but she is superior
to man physically. and the day of her
equality with man is at an end as she
is in every respect his superior.

The st. Paul Dispatch has the fol.
lowing TO say of L. S. Kerr, the bari
tone soloist who will appear here
March I, in the interests of the May
Festival:
THE concert by Z. S. Kerr last
evening in the Hennepin Avenue
church, Minneapolis, was attended by
large audience of Minneapolis and
st. Paul people, who were delighted
with the strickingly beautiful voice
of the basso, and with his achieve
ment in style and finish. Mr.. Kerr S
voice has a rarely musical quality, a
fine texture and sweetness of tone
that is unchanging througout it's two
and half octaves. But its great dis
tinguishing characteristic it it's reso-
nances, the singers command of these
being most unusual. 1t is voice, too,
that has been skillfully trained, per-
fectly placed. and evenly developed.
In the diabolical laughter and refined
irony of the Mephisto serenade from
Faust" Mr. Kerr revealed subtler
dramatic gift than one hearing only
the lyrics might have supposed him
to possess. In this and in other piec-
es there was freedom of tone deliv-
cry and fleXibility that is rare with a
bass singer. His color scale, too, is
vocally quite unlimited, and there is
simplicity and easy good humor in
his department, and an evident de,
light in pleasing his audience that
creates bond of fellowship between
the singer and the listener

WHAT IS YOUR PAPER WORTH

Occasionally man is found in every
community who thinks he cannot at
ford to be subscriber to local paper,
says an exchange. Does he take out
his pencil and figure in a cool, me-
thodical manner the cost Of weekly
paper at dollar and a half year ?
Does he calculatingly prove that this
expense is but two bits for eight weeks,
a shilling a month, three cents week
and less than half section Of cent
a day? Does he, in fairness to him
self, make comparison Of this news
paper expense with his tobacco bill
or other indulgenceS which he might
forgo with profit? not much. That
daddy dollar which pays for the local
newspaper has been dangling before
his eyes and growing bigger at every
glance, until it assums the proportion
of a Ferris wheel in his Imagination.
No citizen can offord to be without
local paper, and all of the newspapers
in his neighborhood, for no one paper
can give all the happenings of human
interest 1t is safe to say that S.
year represents the actual value OF
local newspaper to the average SUBJ
scriber. There are ideas advanced and
suggestions given, the value of which
to the reader is little thought of. AS
business proposition the local news
paper is worth many times the re-
ed, saying nothing OF the question of
sentiment.

raised on farm than in town. They
not only have more range but they
get the variety of food, that nature
requires to produce perfection. 1t is
not natural for birds to be huddled
together in flocks as we poultrymen
have to keep them in town. If farm.
ers would give careful attention to
poultry raising they would take the
prizes.
