she sings with equal ease throughout
its entire compass. She is also pos
sessed of much dramatic ability.
Miss Marjorie Paddock, soprano, pos
sesses a voice full Of sweetness and
that sympathetic quality that never
fails to charm. A pleasing stage pres

In quartet work the contralto voice
of Miss Teresa Won Nell blends beauti-
fully with the others, and in solos she
is compelled to sing again and again to
satisfy her enthusiastic hearers.
The quartet filed big ChautauQua

sic. Trumpets are comparatively sell
dom used on the Lyceum platform, and
1t is a treat to hear them when well
played. The trumpets which they use
were made specially for this quartet.
As to their vocal work. all four broth
ers have fine voices and have had years
of practice together, which has result
ed in most excellent harmony. They
have all been natural musicians from
their infancy. and as some one has
truly said. Their voices have decid-

of this organization is that there are
two readers in the company.

1915 A BAD YEAR.

Indications point to trouble in
the corn belt this year. 1915 is
an abnormal year. Excessive
moisture and cool weather has
retarded the growth Of corn, es-
peciaIIy in the northern states.
Corn will be late in maturing
and there will be tendency to
gather seed corn late. Watch
this. Don't wait too long. Don't
wait till frost beats you to it.
Frost bitten corn will not grow.
Gather your seed corn before
frost comes. Store it where II
will dry out and not freeze or
mold. Don't forget that next
years corn crop will depend on
the seed you gather this fall.

years of study and training and even
natural dramatic talent would be use
less. That is the power to- change the
voice to such an extent that the audi
ence is able to distinguish between the
characters the moment they are sup
posed TO enter.
She has also given a recital for Ella
Wheeler Wilcox at her bungalow at
Long Beach. Conn. and this famous
writer expressed herself about Miss
MacLaren'S work us follows:

Pick Your Seed Corn Early.

A sack with the mouth held open by
a keg hoop and strung over the shout
ders by a rope or strap is very con-
venient in gathering seed in the fall.
The corn may be piled on the ground
at the end of the rows or in the mid
die of the field and gathered up in a
wagon or sled made for that purpose.
Corn should not be left on the ground
overnight or piled up in bins or cribs.
In this condition it may mold or
freeze.

An annual Lyceum entertainment
course is now regarded as practically
indispensable in nearly $4,000 Ameri-
can communities. and the number is
increasing with each year.
Some one has truly said that a Ly-
ceum attraction, even though it failed
to raise Il higher standard in the COM

a Geleterious effect. This cannot be
said of many other kinds of amGse-

What the winters entertainments
and lectures are to be in each COM

time of the year. The course here this
year will be made up of the following
attractions:

The WeatherwaX Brothers first pub

they sang throughout northern Iowa in
the notable Mckinley campaign. They
made such a hit everywhere that year
that there was an immediate demand
for them to do other public work.

Washington. Sept. 3s.-The state De-

leave no doubt In the mind Of offciala
that atrocities have been committed
by Turks against Armenian inhabi-
tants Of the Turkish empire. There
reports have been received In consid-
cradle numbers In the last few weeks.
There II possibility that these rep
reservations may be called to the at
tention Of the German government ~
the power regarded ~ largely respon-
sible for the Turkish operations In the
war. The attention Of the Turkish
government was called to similar re-
ports regarding the Armenian atroci-
ties some time ago.
Further than this ofiiciais believe
'tlffx government rxlnf0t proceed .offi~
cially in tho matter. The victims OF
the oHtrages are not American eiti-
1ens and such representations ~ the
United States might make to either
Turkey or Germany would be only In
the name Of humanity. Since Turkey
tolerate outside intersferencs there II
no disposition on the part Of this gov

has taken the stand that reports OF
