gratifying, while Arthur Middle
ton, the Metropolitan Opera COM
|pany basso, who was soloist, was
delightful in all his parts of the
program, which was both ample
and of high quality. Mr.. Middle
ton instantly won his audience.
Mr.. Middleton's voice is q bass Of
unusual beauty, melodious and
colorful."
Other recent notices of Mr..
Middleton include the Utica OBJ
server Of November IS, which
says: Arthur Middleton as
Pythias showed Uticans that his
fame as bass-baritone Of the Met
ropolitan Opera company has
been we'll merited. He accepted
every possible opportunity to dis
play his wonderful baritone voice,
and the result was that his work
received the warmest appreciation
Of every one in the large audience
In his voice he possesses all Of the
qualities Of the true baritone"
In speaking Of this same event
the Utica Daily Press said: "He
has magnificent voice of SPLEEN
did quality and sings with dra-
matte force and power, although
able to give the softer tones their
true Interpretation. His range is
also remarkable, and in his trans
itions he shows perfect control.
In the role of Pythias he had a
part for which he was singularly
|fltted. He impaired to it pathos
and feeling when required, and
he was not lacking when the
3terner emotions demanded ex-
|brsssion."
OF his recent appearance at
Syracuse the Herald said: Arthur
Middleton won golden opinions
and vociferous approval by his
nasterly baritone singing. -

HARRIS GROVE FARMERS CLUB

Saturday, January 4, 1916, the
Harris Grove Farmers club met
at Orrton, the farm home Of Mrs.
Ellen j. Orr and son. The
weather man seemed to have for
gotten that this was to be one of
our banner club days and fixed
up quite furry for the occasion.
But a little rain and mud never
subdues the courage of the sturdy
farmer and his family on club
day, and six families and a num-
her Of visitors assembled at this
home, feeling glad that we could
claim the friendship of such ey-
cellent people as Mrs. Orr and
her son, and that they wished TO
make us happy on this New Years
Gay in their splendid residence.
Those of us that were fortunate
enough to be present sincerely re-
greet that so many of our nu'an"7
were kept away on account Of
sickness. The meeting was
called to order by Vice President
T. Il. Beebee. The minutes of the
last meeting were read and az
proved. The readings were ncy.
IN ORDER and selections weie read

Jones and Mrs. j. II. Latta, which
brought ont SINE discussion and
several new ideas. Dinner was
ANNOUNCED by the hostess and no
one waited for a second invita-

the program. After two hours
most pleasantly spent in feasting
and visiting with neighbors and
friends the house was again called
Ito order and we listened to a
piano duet by Francis Newton
and Ellen Brown. At the close OF
this musical number Mr.. Beebee

too much of the happysNew Years
spirit, If pnes we're TO Judge them
by the Wild reckless manner In
which they cast their ballots, re-
sulting in the election of Mrs. j..

QUESTIONS.
First: Gould the matter Of hav-
ing ice delivered to the farmer be

man who delivered it.

road drag enough better than
the ordinary homemade one to
justify the trustees in buying
them? Answered in the affirm

tic college a t Kirksville, Mo.
About fifty Osteopaths were in at
tendance, coming from coast-to-
coast and a few from foreign
countries.
specialists connected with the
college and hospital gave lectures
land demonstrations to these prac-
|titioners who came to brush up
land learn what they could of the
recent discoveries in this new
science. AS there are several
students from this town studying
lin this college and many of their
friends are interested in them and
their progress we will report for
them.
M. G. Burbank is taking treat
ment from one of the specialists
of the hospital and is improving,
though no operation has been
performed, as they sometimes do
Ito correct deformities in some
cases. He expects more improves
ment, but may return home for
further treatment in few weeks.
Drs. Margaret, Mildred and Annie
Raymond are all but through with
their three years study, as is also
DIR. Harry Roberts. They will all
receive their degrees and diplo-
mas next month and the faculty
gives very favorable reports of
their work.
None of them have fully decided
their location. The Raymonds
will likely make a visit in the VAL
ley before finally deciding whero
they will enter practice and plan
to all practice together.
Rex Martin is half through his
work and greatly enthused with
the study and no doubt will find
success when once ready for prac-
tice. Earl Meats was late in en-
Itering the school this fall and
|plans putting in that amount of
time extra, SO will be through his
course three years from next
month. The bug of enthusiasm
has a strong hold upon him and
his earnestness was recon-
mended.
Rev. Gardnes, formerly OF Du1l...
lap is now practicing in Sterling,
I'LL. and made a host of fast
friends in Huntsville, who unan-
imously admire him.
Our brother-in-law, j. w. Dem
niston, is making good and was
awarded a fellowship or assist
ant in microscopic anatory, lab
oratory work. A competitive ex-
Iamination resulted in his selec-
ton and he is specializing in mic
lroscopic work. He is one of the
most Jealous students in the
school and enjoys his work
greatly. Our niece, Hazel Shac-
kleford, entered the college this
fall. She was stunned at first,
and feared she was not digesting
all the lectures as fast as they
gave them. After slight attack
of cold feet she was cured when
she found that it was not ex-
pected one should learn all they
teach each day, and after getting
high grade a time or two, includ-
ing perfect mark in one or two
examinations she braced up with
much more self-assurance after
this and is enjoying the work bet
Il ter as she advances.
Those students who are al
most ready for graduation have
all been treating patients of all
kinds for a year and a half and
with flattering results generally.
Many kind words were spoken for
them all and Missouri Valley may
expect to hear from some sue
cessful careers from this group
of graduates of our local schools.

Arthur Middleton, bass-bari-
tone of the Metropolitan Opera
company, who is everywhere ac-
knowledged to be one of the most
successful American members Of
that organization, has lost none
Of his ability as concert artist
since his advent in opera. On
Tuesday evening, November 80,
Mr.. Middleton was soloist with
the Apollo club Of Erie, Pa, Nor
ris Gabriel Williams conductor,
at the opening of its fifth session.
The Erie Evening Herald, in
speaking of the concert said:
INSISTING artists, the Apollos have
not introduced to Erie a moeo
\ finished or accomplished singer
than Mr.. Middleton, basso of the
Metropolitan Opera company. In
fact Erie did not get to hear all
they desired from him. And
many were the requests made to
the clubmen that they bring Mr..
Middleton back again next year.
Whether in the operate num-
bers, where he is 80 much at
home, or in the lyrics, Mr.. Mid
dleton displayed his fine sense Of
proportion and expression and
his splendid vocal range and pur-
ity Of tone produced most en-.
joyable combination"
The Erie Daily Times gave Mr..
Middleton this praise: "His In
depreciation of the famous pro-
logue of 'Pagliacci' introduced
Mr.. Middleton to his hearers and
he swept the house into an ardent
burst of applause. The succeed
ing numbers of the group and Of
the concert increased the delight

supposed to- belong to tenor Aione,
and these notes speed forth as
round and perfect as any tones
he uses, and seem to have the
true tenor timbre. And the mar
vel of artistic control! Middleton
is master of his tone whether II
comes with full splendor Of It's
power or with a delicate pianis-
simo that is incompatible, It Is
ever what he Wills. And this is
true art to be achieved only by
hard work, patient persistence
and unfaltering effort to reAeh
