 Mrs. Aldrich has been away since early spring. There were a number of tickets for recitals sent out by her before Ie. departure and 1t is possible some did not reach theip~ destination, as many of tn 2 patronesses were also out of town She asks that any who failed to receive tickets communicate with her as early as pos- sible, so that she may supply them.
 The tickets state that the concerts will be given in the Commercial club audi torium. It will be remembered that this was the first plan. but that the demands for seats exceeded the number so thac the Jefferson theatre was engaged. Hold CTS of tickets will bear in mind that the concerts are to take place at the Jeffc-- son. They are among the fashionable events of a winter which is to be rich in affairs artistic and Mrs. Aldrich very fit . tingly is their inspiration.

NEWSPAPERS AID
 FARMERS GREATLY

Hot Springs, Ark, October 11.-Ad- vices to southern farmers to advertise their farm products in newspapers was given here today at the state fair in an address by John M. Parker of New Orleans president of the Southern Com mercial congress.
 "The northern and western farmer is up-to date" said MT. Parker He advertises what he has to sell and pays the expense of that advertisement and derives the highest price for his pro- ducts"
 Newspapers, MT. Parker said. have led in the diversified farming move ment, have helped bring settlers into the south and have been of great prac- tical benefit to southern agriculture but nevertheless their advertisements are totally disproportionate with those of northern papers," The loss to the farmers in failing to advertise, MT. Par ker thought, was even more serious than the loss to the papers.
