Methodist Church Notes.

Last Thursday evening, the Rev. DR..
A. A. Parker of Baroda, India, spoke
for an hour to as interested an audience
as one need ask for.
DR.. Parker has been at the head of
the Baroda Theological Seminary for
several years and is now home on fur
lough, with his wife whose health will
not at present permit return to that
hot climate
DR.. Parker gave very interesting
and at times amusing accounts of the
work and conditions in India.
He quoted Mark Twain as to the
weather; he said when he was there it
was still winter and the people had not
vet taken off the brass door knobs and
put on the porcelain; in the winter it
does not get hot enough TO melt the
brass, it only gets "mushey" and so
they use brass as long as it does not
melt.
He said that every fourth baby born
and every fourth death in the world
occurred in India. The population was
about 100000, 900, and that the people
spoke more than four hundred languages
and dialects, and lived under large
number of different governments, loosely
held together by the British govern
ment.
His work had been in the Bombay
Conference Of the Methodist church.
which is only one of seven great con-
ferences in that great land

them.

Wisconsin, being one of the two
greatest dairy states in the Union, is
fittingly represented by the largest
delegation from any one state on the
board of directors of the National
Dairy show, which was held at Chi

men, who have been linked with much
that is best and broadest in dairy
progress during the past decade. are

and A. J. Glover, Fort Atkinson.
The bringing together of the best
that can be produced is an inspiration
to those who view them" says F. H.
Scribner, and we believe that nearly
everyone goes home with better ideas
regarding the crops he grows and the
better Improvement of his livestock,
not only from viewing these objects
but from conversing with men who
really have accomplished these
things"

BELL RINGERS WERE GOOD
Render Excellent Musica' Program
at Congres ationaI Lecture
Room Saturday.

To small but very appreciative
audience, the Swiss Bell Ringers pre-
,ented very interesting concert, in
the lecture room of the Cougre sational
church last Saturday evening.
Their program consisted of musical
selections on many various instruments,
many of which were new to the
majority Of the people in attendance.
The company was composed Of three
members, namely Eleanor n, Jose
phine A., and F. l.. Georgette aud
these three people amply entertained
their audiance at all times.
Miss Josephine played upon many
different instruments. proving herself
All ardent and successful s,udent OF
music; but perhaps her playing of
violin was the best of all.
In her rendition of Musin : Mazurka
de Concert, she performed exceedingly
well, and was properly applauded at
the end of this difficult piece. Her
work on the saxaphone, ocarina,
xylophone and dulcimer was also of a
high grade
Eleanor N. Georgette accompanied on
the harp, and also played a Very pretty
harp solo. Her playing was of the
highest order, as was her work with
the marimbaphone, bells and organ
chimes.
The "Sextette from Lucia by the
entire company playing harp, violin
and mandolin, was very pleasing and
blending of these three stringed instru-
ments was all that could be desired,
Mr.. F. l.. Georgette proved himself
very proficient player Of the cello,
mandolin, and banjo, and his playing
upon the aluminium tubes musical
flowers, marimbaphone, etc, was all
very good. His cello solo, "Traumeri, .
was beautifully rendered.
Explanations were made 10 The audi
ence by Mr.. Georgette, as to what
the various instruments We're, their
origin, etc, and Such explanations
helped out wonderfully in the audience S
comprehension of them.
Owing to the disagreeable weather
that night, and also the fact that the
business men and clerks We're unable to
attend on that evening the audience
was comparatively small. 1t was
hoped by the Athletic Association, un
whose auspices the entertainment was
given, that money could be raised by
this method. but the weather was such
that instead of making money, the
BOYS are facing a deficit of about fifteen
dollars. With good weather and a diff
ferent night for such an entertainment
the attendance would have been much
better

thusiasm and energy for the tasks be-

1t has been said that the National
Dairy show is for the farmer who has
plenty of money and that for the poor
man just starting in business it offers
little AS matter of fact. the show
was started to encourage the farmer
who has not yet enlisted in dairy
work and to convince him Of the op-

providing a few cardinal principles
are followed out
Prof. F. w. VOL. in charge of feeds

Dairy show says;
The National Dairy show is IA great
educational institution and great
amount of useful. practical and labor
saving information can be obtained
by any farmer who attends.
