HOLY ROSARY
Entertainments Always Please =
School Doing Grand Work.

The pupils of the Holy Rosary
School gave their annual entertain
ment under the supervision of the
Dominican Sisters last Thursday.
These entertainments are always
looked forward to with pleasure by
the people of Monroe City and
vicinity and as usual their ex-
pectations were realized. All pres
ent were loud in their praises of
the excellent work done by the
school children.
First was the grand march and
opening chorus. This was followed
by a comical reproduction of school
life by the little boys and girls
Miss Alma VanMarter who repre-
sented the teacher, sang her part
in plesIng way.
The next number was a play of
patriotic nature. The Boys of '76"
in which only boys took part.
Bernard Pierceall acting as a Hes
sian soldier did uncommonly well.
Charles Yates also played his part
splendidly; but perhaps the Merry
Tramps" pleased theaudience better
than anything. They were repre-
sented by Lee Pierceall, Emmett
Robey, Willie Joe Hagan and Ernest
VanMarter.
A three act drama of a semi
religious character. dealing with the
apparition of the Blessed Virgin at
Lourdes, was presented by the girls
of the school. Miss Grace Fahy as
the Counties de Soigney displayed
rem arkable talent. Miss Alma
Pierceall acted the part of the
Counties Cousin, refined devout
woman, part she was able to
do without much practice. Miss
Mary Gentges seemed admirably
fitted to play the part of Bernadette
the devout young peasant girl
favored by Heaven. Her rendering
of the part was touching and pleas
ing in the extreme. Miss Hattie
Tewell as Jeanne, Bernadette's
friend, charmed all by the natural
ness and simplicity of her acting.
Miss Lola Pierceall as the "Clin-
tons" darky added greatly to the
success of the play. Miss Alma
VanMarter was instrumental in
holding the attention of the audi
ence by playing the "meanest girl
in Lourdes" Miss Bess VanMarter
had a very difficult role to play as
the Mayor of Lourdes. Miss Lille
Hagan as his wife played her part
to perfection. All the other parts
were well rendered. Little Dorothy
Bebb won great praise as the
blind Louise" The play ended
with beautiful tableau of the ap-
partition at the Grotto in which Miss
Lucy Yates posed as Our Lady of
the Lourdes."
The Sisters and their pupils wish
to extend their thanks to the
Monroe City Orchestra who help
ed so much toward the success
of the evening, and also to their
many kind friends who by their
presence encouraged the children
to do their best. ~

Egg Producers Read This.

The following is taken from a
letter sent to egg handlers from the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Wash
ington, D. C: The loss to farmers
of the United States from bad
methods of producing and handling
eggs is estimated at $45,000,0C0
annually. 1t is also estimated that
$15,000000 of this loss is due to
blood rings. Every dollar loss from
blood rings is preventable Oh the
farm. Blood rings are a certain
stage of chick development which
starts from heat to fertile egg.
To prevent blood rings, sell or
confine the male birds as soon as
Matching season is over"
We have this letter tackled up in
our Office and 1t shows pictures of
fertile and infertile eggs at different
stages which we would like for
you to see.

A GOOD VOICE
Discovered BY The Festival ASSOCia.
ton Of nj. Vernon
(5y the Committee)

In Mount Vernon there is certain
large family, the burden of whose sup.
port rests upon the shoulders of a
man in the shops. One member of that
family, when quite young, showed evi.
dence of more than ordinary musical
ability Most people aspire more or
less to elevate themselves and emulate
the lives of the more fortunate around
them, but are often held down by the
force of adverse circumstances. A
few by sheer will power, inspiration,
and sacrifice overcome them and sue.
coed. Such was the case with this
family. Somehow money was found to
secure an instrument, music, and
teacher. There were many discour.
agements, Oftentimes work for the
father was scarce and the hours cut
down materially, with many periods of
months in which there was none at
all. The music lessons however went
right on and today that person is a
member of the chorus, with a tested
voice and the first real opportunity to
employ 1t in heavy work. We are find
ing these days that many fine voices
are never developed from lack of op-
portunity. II the festival chorus will
furnish the incentive and means to
draw them out, 1t shall have done a
great work.
We are finding also that there Is
much musical talent lying around dor
mant and unused. The launching Of
the chorus for instance brought to
light a magnificent voice which was
not even suspected. Its possessor had
sung with Schumann-Heink. Wither-
spoon and others, in probably the best
chorus in the country, at one of the
leading universities. When he heard
we were putting on the Messiah the
old ferver returned and he Joined the
organization. In the meantime several
members of other noted choruses in
the country who have lately come to
Mount Vernon have been discovered
and have practically consented to en-
ter 1t for the next production.

Where They viii Settle On
The Fertile Lands
Some Interesting History Of
The Religious Sect
Which Has Been In This
Vicinity Many Years

| The Amish people, a peculiar, but
very industrious religious sect OF
whom there are a number in this i'm.
mediate vicinity, are again showing
their rowing disposition by the deci.
sion to remove large colony which
has been flourishing in Gibson and
Pike counties, Indiana, to Georgia,
near Macon. Many of those who are
in this colony formerly resided in this
section, the greater number coming
from western Holmes and eastern
Knox county. l
About ten years ago this colony
purchased several thousand acres of
land In the Dakota river bottoms.
They have improved their farms and
In every way have been law.abiding
and respectable residents, although
their customs are strange ones. Their
style OF dressing Is very primitive
and Is in keeping with the custom Of
many decades. ~
One of the most peculiar features
In connection with their clothing is
that they never wear buttons on them
in any style or form, always using
hooks and eyes. II is disgrace to
an Amish person to be seen by one
Of his brethren with button on a
garment. Their clothing Is chiefly OF
homespun and nearly all the women
dress as nearly alike as they possibly
can. They wear bonnets summer and
winter.
The two leaders of the sect began
to murmur against their present con-
ditions, saying they could make moth
ing OFF their farms in the Dakota bot.
toms, and at once they announced
their intention of moving to Georgia.
The result was that the remainder OF
tho Amish people decided they would
move to Georgia, too.
Now public sales are daily occur.
rences among the Amish people and
have been for some time past. They
are rapidly d1sposing or their goods.
The Amish people are of rowing
disposition. They are peculiarly Ger
man. or of German extraction, and
resemble very much the Beers OF
South Africa.
These peculiar people are sociable
enough with outsiders, and are neigh
borly, but they very rarely marry out
side the sect. The marriage cere.
mony among them is a very impress
sive one, and when there is marriage
1t is always attended by several days
festivities. All the members of the
sect join In these festivities.
Often members from other branches
of the sect come hundreds of miles
to be present on these occasions.
