THE MYERS ENTERTAINERS.

days are lazy lot! Did you know
that? 1t is not their own fault that
they are lazy, but they have their lazi'
ness handed down to them from many
generations ago.
The piano was invented to accommo-
date harpists who did not want to
practice, and the original piano was
a keyboard built around the harp
strings. Even in the newest models
of today you will find the shape of the
harp carried out in the sounding board
under the strings.
Gradually the harp has died out
from it's heritage of a place in every
musical home and the piano has taken
its place. But the harp remains as
the most wonderful of all the stringed
instruments and today a new genera
ton of true artists are pushing the
conquests of the harp in the realms OF
music, even further. The delicate pull

orchestras and in the past few years
have been heard more and more on
the concert stage.
One of the very finest, newest
models of the Italian harp, is played
by Miss Lawrence with the Myers en-.
tertainers. She is pupil Of Walfreud
Singer of the Thomas Orchestra and
has been in several concert tours.
Grace Lowry, the reader with the com.
pany, Is a southerner and has instilled
in her the warm vibrant enjoyment OF
life which is characteristic of the
south. She has studied, travelled, and
entertained extensively, and with her
presentation of full plays with harp
interludes, songs and musical readings
an evening delightful and unusual
is the natural outcome. There are
harpists and harpists, and readers
and readers, but there Is no more for
tunate combination of the two arts of
music and drama than is found in the
Myers Entertainers.

Some men are called to the lecture
platform because they have broken
out of Jail or discovered terrestrial
pole or put big corporation out of

through years of toll and plodding they
have prepared something worth say

the latter class. He has never done
sensational Never having
been put into jail he has never found
1t necessary to break out.
Mr.. Voelker has spent twelve years
of his life as school teacher, begin

as a university professor; one year as
editorial writer with an educational
journal; and seven years on the popu-

LIE Fevre, Second Tenor and Accom-
PIANIST; w. E. Paine, First Tenor and
Pianist; C. M. Cassell, Basso; A. H.

Quartet was organized in 1901 and
has since that time been constantly
before the public, giving from 15O to
$50 entertainments annually. Since
their organization they have been
steadily advancing both in popularity
and in the quality of the musical selec-
tons rendered and today have the
reputation of being one of the best
singing concerts before the public But
they do something besides sing. They
also entertain. They play various
musical instruments. Appearing as
they do in three different sets of Co.'S
tunes before each audience, Colonial
costume, an outing costume, and full
dress, their program is marked by
variety and intense interest through
out. Their success was SO marked
during this past year than many com.
munities insisted on having them back
for next year.

Pioneer.
If the present rate of settle
ment of the lands around Iron River
continues, it will not be long before
the country will be pretty well
settled up in all directions from
town. For years the bulk of the
settlement and d velopment has
been on the heavy soils to the north
but of late the movement has been
just as strong toward the lighter
soils.
Emil Johnson, the we'll known
farmer residing SIX miles north of
Iron River, shipped in three thor
oughbred Holstein calves and two
grade Guernsey calves last Friday.
The stock was raised on the siarm of
NJ. Mortenson, brother-in- law of
Mr.. Johnson. at South Range. The
list of local stockmen who are get
ting into the class of high quality
breeders is growing steadily and
this means much for the future Of
the district.
The late potatoes ia the Iron River
district are being dug somewhat
later than usual this year, owing to
the fact that the vines, in many
localities, ale still green and the
potatoes not entirely ripe. This
condition is attributed TO the fact
that during the July dry spell the
potatoes did not grow much and
when the August rains came
Oil new potatoes were formed.

FEED FOR WORK HORSES
BY n. n. BoekeIheide, Sphinx County.

Throughout the world, there has
been less attention paid to the feeding
Of work horses than any other class Of
farm animals. Cattle, hogs, and sheep
have been fed and experimental with
until it seem as though no more
knowledge car be obtained, but the
faithful horse has been worked and
has labored and is but seldom taken
care of by proper persons. Until re-
cent years, and even today, the feeding
Of horses is largely fixed by tradition,
custom or arbitrary rules.
Throughout the middle west the
common ~roughage for horses has been
prairie hay. Thousands of acres Of
prairie land have been broken up until
now it seems apparent hat there will
s0On be a shortage of this class OF
rough feed. Oats of high quality, the
standard grain for horses for many
years. are becoming more difficult to
obtain and are usually rather high In
price. Some other grain is now being
sought which will take the place IF
oats, in part at least, in compromising
an economical and satisfactory ration
for work horses.

It is true that nature and q woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's Ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
Q remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efiicacious than any
other combination Of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands Of letters from ONE seek
ing health-many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

WOMEN AND Chill DREN BEGIN SECOND WINTER
OF MISERY IN COLORADO

OF N1SEN / IL
BY EDWARD A. EVANS
Special Commissioned, of The Day
Book, Who Is in Southern Colorado
investigating Conditions There
Trinidad, Colo, Dec. S. - Five
thousand women and children are
Drawing, for the second time since
Colorado's coal strike started, the
suffering and misery that mountain
winter means for those whose shelter
is only fiimsy tents or old and poorly
built cabins.
BraVeIy, even cheerfuIIy, they are
enduring their priVations because
their fathers and husbands are on
strike-on strike for a principle in
which EVEN THE LITTLEST CHILL
DREN BELIEVE WITH TERRIBLE
EARNESTNESS!
All through the strike the women
and children of the union miners
have played brave part. At Sopris,
a year ago, 75-year-old Mother
Burns was arrested by militiamen
because she insisted on singing one
of the union songs.
1t was Gustav Yenskenski, II who
told a committee of congressman last
February how he had struggled and
fought with two state soldiers who
were invading and plundering his
home.
At Ludlow, in April, II little chill
dren and two women died by fire in
the massacre that bIackened the
name of Colorado.
Women and children, find, are
still bravely helping to carry on the
struggle.
Mrs. Charley Castolino, whose hus-
band is a striker, lives in a bare lit
tie house in Trinidad now. She and
her three children escaped from Lud-
low during the battle and massacre.

There was some loss in cash holdings toward the close of the week which were about $1, 900, 900 larger than had been forcasted In view of the March first disbursements it is expected that money rates, particularly in the early part of the week. will be advanced The sharp loan increase resulted part corporate financing n addition to preparations for interest and dividend disbursements.
