BREAD SATISFACTION.

ButtermiIk Bread.

Is Possible When You Eat Blue Label
ButterniIk Bread.
The kind of bread that it pays to adj
vertise, is a bread that, when they buy
the first loaf it simply means that they
will come back for the second. That's
the kind of bread that we make, and
We put the little blue label on SO that
you can not be fooled into taking
something else, said to be just as good.
Try a loaf the next time.
OUR BAKERY LUNCH.
We felt that people would appreciate
a nice place TO eat a Clearly cooked
lunch, but our business has been beyond
our expectations. We are now adding
to our floor space and will. beginning
after the New Year. have four private
rooms where small parties can have
their lunches together, away from the
main room.
We want TO thank the people of
Marshall,own for their patronage dur
ing the past year and say that, We be-
lieve that We viii be better able to
serve you during the coming years.
THE STANDARD BAKERY,
The place that's different.

FRIENDS IN HOME TOWN GREET
vloLINIsT IN FIRST APPEAR.
ANcE IN YEARS.
ARTISTIC EVENT BEFORE
TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB
Miss Helen Abbott Appears With Miss
Woodbury. in Recital, With Mr.. Hix
as Accompanist-Pr Most
Brilliant Affair in Clubs History
More Than Met Expectations.

Old friends in her home town joined
Wednesday night in welcoming Miss
Mabel Woodbury. in her drst public
appearance here in eight years. Miss
Woodbury. appeared in violin recital
at the c. F. Kirby home, assisted by
Miss Helen Abbott, soprano, and with
Mr.. Ralph NJ. Hix as accompanist.
/ Miss Woodbury. more than met the
great expectations d her home friends
who have eagerly awaited the time
when they might hear her after her
long European study. Miss woodburys
appearance was a distinct triumph.
Members OF the club pronounced the
recital as the most artistic affair in
the clubs history, and il gave the club
members and guests great pleasure to
have Two Ma-shalltown artist daugh-
ters combine in giving a program so
delightful in every way.
Miss Abbott opened the program
with the recitative, There Were Shop
herds Abiding in the Field" and the
aria. Rejoice Greatly from Handel's
Messiah" Miss Woodbury's first ap-
pearance was in Bruch number, a
concerto in D minor, first movement.
Miss Abbott sang Phyllis Has Such
Charming Graces,' from the old Eng
lish, by Young; Mac Dowelrs Long
Ago" and The Stormy Evening" by
Homer.
Miss Woodbury's second number was
Corelli's "LaFolia," and was followed
by Miss Abbott with group OF songs
by Carrie Jacobs Bond. Perfect Day"
"A Bad Dream" and The ,Sheperdess."
The first and last OF the group We're
sung from the original manu-
script, not yet being published. ard
We're loaned by Mrs Bond for the oc-
casion. Miss -Abbott's closing song
was an arietta, "Valsa Musetta from
La Boheme," (Puccini.) and Miss
Woodbury's last numbers were "Zige-
Iunerweisen." opus 90 by Sarasate. and
ave Maria" by schubert-Wilhelmj
Aside from her technique, which was
marvellous, and her faultless intona-
ton and bowling, Miss Woodbury. has a
tone that is individual in its unusual
beauty, not only a tone of richness and
depth. but of heart. Her strings fairly
laughed and sobbed in the Sarasate
Zigeunerweisen." The first number,
the first movement of the Bruch, D
minor concerto, was done with fine
breadth of style and dignity, showing
Miss Woodbury's true musicianship
and sincerity.
La Folia" with its bewilderingly
brilliant cadenza. was done in true old
italian style. The last number, the
Wilhelmj arrangement Of the Schubert
Ave Maria" was exquisite in It's
serenity and flowing beauty. In this
number Miss Woodbury's two and
three voiced harmonies and her tone
biendings We're most interesting.
Miss Woodbury. was received with
great enthusiasm and responded to
many insistent encores.
The guests Of the club from out of
the city We're Miss Emily Perkins, of
Moline. III; Miss -Adeline Parker. Of
Denver; Miss Marian Parker. Of Free
