GLEE CLUB CONCERT

The chapel at A. & M. College was
taxed to its capacity Saturday night
to enjoy the concert given by the Glee
Club. 1t was about the best thing that
has been pulled off In the chapel in
quite while, and the cadets and
campus people highly appreciated the
diversion.
The program consisted OF three
parts. The first part was composed
of high class glee songs with short,
snappy encores. The Singers Patrol'
was an appropriate opening number,
and the club handled the piece with
marked ability. The control the club
exercised over the two parts of this
piece was excellent, and the tonal
quality throughout was superb. The
second piece was a Gypsy song, and
was a beautiful selection. Each mem
Der handled his part with the skill of
virtuoso. Too much can not be said
of the rendition of The Rosary" The
tone shading given this piece would
have done credit to any club Of years
experience. The beautiful piece show
ed the good teamwork the club has
been doing.
The second part was composed Of
selections by the Mandolin and Guitar
Club and readings by Mrs Ehlinger.
The Mandolin Club deserves special
credit. 1t is an organization OF only a
few months life, but from the talent
displayed it would have done credit to
a much older organization. Mrs.
Ehlinger's readings were up to her
usual high standard, and her interpre-
tation OF Aunt Minerva and William
Green Hill" was excellent. She gave
a very natural and true delineation of
the two quaint characters.
The third part was "side-splitter."
1t was composed of excellent indi
vidual parts with the Glee Club sup
port. The characteristic rags were adj
handled. Several of the fel-
lows of the third part will apply their
talent in the minstrel, which means
that the minstrel will be up to the
usual standard of our local entertain
ing efforts.
To Mr.. Steger is due the credit OF
the clubs success. OF course he had
to have the support of each man, but
his ability as director is of a high
artistic mark, and the application of
his talent and originality made the
club what it is.
The club will give its second con-
cert at the Colonial Theatre in Bryan
Friday, February 16, and on Monday
following it will leave on a weeks
tour of the schools and colleges of
the northern part of the state. The
advertising the club will do on this
trip will be of an incalculable value to
the college.

The home canneries over this coun-
ty have proven to be decided sue
cess; in fact, the fruit put up by our
farmers is superior to any shipped
into our town, and we hope to see the
merchants of the county encourage
them by giving home canned goods a
preference. There is no more reason
for merchant to send away for his
canned goods, when he can get the
same goods or better quality from the
farmers of the county, than there Is
for the farmer to patronize the mail
order house.-Grand Saline Sun.
The Eagle believes the home Gamer
would be the solution Of the truck
growing problem. They have been
thoroughly tried and are perfect sue
cess, and, as The Sun says, the prod
uct is far superior to that class of
goods shipped here. Vegetables of all
kinds are easily grown, and if our
farmers would grow them, supply
themselves with a home Gamer, thou
sands of dollars could be added every
year to their bank account.
