A GREAT HARPIST.
And Quartet of Boys a Leading
Feature at Our chautauaua.

After all it is the harp and the boys
that touch the hearts Of the people.
The piano, the pipe organ or the violin
are more popular because they are
more common, and people pay SIS for a
seat to hear famous grand opera sing
er because it is fashionable. But way
down in the bottom of your heart of
hearts you know that when it comes to
making real music that takes US back
to the time when our mothers sang us
to sleep that there is nothing that can
compare with the old harp. And you
also know that when it comes to sing
ing that a boys choir in the old
church at home came neaner being
heavenly than anything we ever en-
pect to hear again.
Ii the harp were as easy to master
as the piano there is little doubt but
that it would be in the majority of
the refined homes today, and 'the
instrument the angels play" would be
heard even more frequently .nan is
the piano. The fact that the harp,
the Oldest type Of stringed instrument
in existence, is the most difficult to
play, accounts for the fact that the
really expert performers are few, and

Bush," Barrie's Little Minister and
the immortal novel Lorna Doone," in
such vivid and life like fashion that
the scenes and persons live and move
before our eyes. And the scenes are
true. In preparing the pictures of
Lorna Doone" Mr.. Armstrong visited
the scene of the story, hired dramatis
personae and played out in costume
the game of life that went on in the
Doone valley when titled pirates
preyed on the peaceful and the de-
fenceless and "girt John Rudd" and
the descendant of hundred earls en-
acted the beautiful drama Of love.
The pictures are true to the life and
time.
Mr.. Armstrong is an impersonator
OF superb ability, and his representa-
ton of the different characters en-
thrallingly faithful and charming to
the highest degree In the Armstrong
picture plays the Chautauqua goers
of the territory covered by the Red
path-Vawter System may rest assured
that they have new and intense
pleasure and satisfaction coming.

from q parish mission Sunday school
in Chicago that has been under the
protecting guidance of Mrs. Brown
during the past five years. They are
boys who have experienced all the ups
and downs of life in congested quar-
ter of the third largest city in the
world, and have passed through more
vicissitudes than the majority of men
of three times their age. Every boy
in the quartet has sweet, boyish
voice that is good to hear and brings
home the fact that all good singers do
not draw their salaries from the great
operate managers and gain fame and
newspaper space through making
themselves offensive to ladies in mon
key houses.
The program by the boys is a genu.
inc treat. In their patriotic nation
airs of many nations they feed the
fancy and satisfy the popular demand
for entertainment of kind that
makes the blood Jingle. To see them

plaud-especiall if you have Scottish
blood in your veins.
There is nothing silly, childish or in
the least offensive or boisterous about
their program but on the other hand
their wholesome boyish voices in song
revive the days of Blatchford Kava-
naugh as they sing sweet melodies in
to every heart. Their performances
on the marambophone. on the bag
pipes, the tambourines and castinets,
is novel and is introduced in song,
character and costume in such way
as to lend emphasis to both the educa.
tional and entertainment elements of
the evening. They make several sur
p1isingly rapid and wonderful changes
of costume during each program and
each costume is a true representation
of the dress of the country of which
they play or sing.

it is seldom indeed that an American
audience is given the privilege of hear
ing concert by one who is able to
bring out the sweet music of which it
is capable.
In introducing Sarah Wathena
Brown and her Chicago Boy Choir to
its patrons the managers of the Red
path-Vawter System feel that they
are peculiarly fortunate in being able
TO secure one OF the very best nu-
steal attractions before the public to-
day. Mrs. Brown is harpist Of ne
tional fame, and she has delighted
hundreds of the most critical audi
ences. In technique she is unsur-
passed and she knows just how to
touch the instrument in order to bring
cut its best qualities. Her music is
OF the quietly thrilling kind that holds
the audience spellbound.
In her concerts this season Mrs.
Brown will use a magnificent $500
instrument that was built specially fer
her by one OF the greatest harp MAX
ers in the world. 1t is without doubt
the finest and sweetest toned instru-
.ment in the world today, and its
strings, under the masterful touch of
Mrs. Brown, send out music which
strike the very heart strings--tones
that awaken memories, inspire visions
and make music do its perfect work.

CORN GROWERS NOTICE.
AN ARTICLE OF SPECIAL INTER.
EST AND PROFIT TO CORN
PRODUCERS.

All corn growers have no doubt been
greatly Interested in the announcements
appearing in this and other papers, of a
prize OF $1,000 to be given tor the best
ear OF corn.
To no one perhaps, has the offer APP
pealed more strongly than to Prof. p. q.
Holden. OF the Iowa State Agricultural
College at AmeS.
Prof. Holden saw in this offer a long
looked for opportunity. For years. Prof.
Holden has labored for the fame of Iowa
as corn state. No individual has done
SO much for the corn growers as has he,
through his study of corn cultivation.
and seed selection. Realizing that the
donor of SO great sum must have
real and unselt.sh interest in improving
the standard of corn, negotiations were
lions in the terms and awarding of the
prize money.
The idea in Prof Holdens mind was
that he had devoted the best years of his
life to inducing corn growers TO improve
the standard of their corn. In this gener-
Gus offer he saw an opportunity to make
some further return to those who have
so faithfully aided him in spreading the
new and better corn gospel.
HIS negotiations with the donor Of the
SloUO-looking to its distribution in what
seemed fairer and more equable man
ner. having reached successful conclu-
sion, Prof Pro Holden is in position to
growers in new and more attractive
form.
Prof Holden calls the attention Of
First-The awarding of the $1,000 will be
entirely in the hands of the Iowa State
Agricultural College at Ames; Prof Hol-
den being actively in charge
Second-This large sum will be divided
into attractive prizes, instead of going
to one grower. SO as to attract the great
est number of contestants.
Third-Details yet to be worked out in
clude the division of interest in this con-
test-widely educational in its scope, at
Ames and at the Corn Exposition in Des
MoineS.
Fourth-The public announcements of
the prize award are temporarily sus-
pended. and the closing date has been adj
vanced to a time when the 1909 crop has
matured AS soon the details have
been worked out Prof Holden will sug-
gest renewal of the prize announce
ments which will appear in the columns
Of this paper.
Every corn grower with the interests
Of the industry and of his state at heart,
will welcome this change of plan. Under
the able direction of Prof. Holden the
suggestions of himself and associates will
prove of far greater benefit than as orig
.nally planned.
The editor asks his readers to watch
for the new announcements and to COM
municate suggestions to Prof. Holden at
AmeS.
