USE PHONOGRAPH TO TEACH
MUSIC.
and Defects in Voice of
Students Will Be Noted by
New Method at Iowa
University.

Iowa City, Iowa, Nov. 13.-Teach-
ing music with the photograph is an
interesting Innovation at the State
university which promises to have
an important influence on the teach
ing Of music generally throughout
the United States.
The method is simple. When stu.
dent begins voice lessons in a school
of music, a photograph record of the
voice is cut. Other records are made
as he progresses. When the pupil or
the instructor wish to study defects
carefully or to discover how the
voice is developing, it is easy to play
the records on the photograph as
many times as are necessary.
Prof. William e. Hays of the uni
versity music faculty, has devised
this system of teaching and finds It
very useful in making the pupil see
or rather hear his defects or his i'm
provements.

Bought in quantities, sweet pota-
toes can be had now for about 81 a
bushel while Irish potatoes are
bringing from $1.75 to 50.
It's in the storing of sweet pota-
toes that special care must be taken.
Whereas IRISH potatoes require a
storing temperature as cold as posi-
lie without freezing, sweet potatoes
must be stored IN warm, dry place
They must never be allowed to chill.
One of the best places to store them
is behind the furnace in the cellar.

IOWA'S DAIRY INDUSTRY.
1t Sets a New Record. Dairy Com
missioner Pleased With
Showing.

Figures compiled by the Dairy &
Food Commissioner for the year
ending November 1st show a re-
markable increase in the value of
Iowa's dairy products.
Creameries of the State produced
during the year 97,62S.7S8 lbs, OF
creamery butter, which sold for
26,933,S25. While the increase in
production is 81 per cent greater
than last year, the increase in the
sale value Of the product is even
greater, due to the fact that the New
York market maintained an average
of 32.43c per pound; the highest
yearly average on record. Nearly
five-sixths of Iowa's creamery but
ter (S1, 1S8,905 lbs.) is sold outside
of the state; principally in the east
ern market. The other one-sixth is
consumed here, together with about
100000 lbs. of country butter
produced annually.
To produce the creamery butter Of
Iowa requires 710,714 cows owned
by 119,42S creamery patrons who
use 107,S53 cream separators.
That Iowa's citizens have money
to purchase other than necessities is
shown by the fact that 5,31S,O0O
gallons of ice cream is manufactured
during the year. The protracted hot
weather of the past summer is large
ly responsible for the more than
doubling the production of the pre-
vious year.
Iowa's twelve cheese factories
have manufactured 6S1,315 pounds
of cheese. This figure is slightly less
than that for last years production.
A new movement now on foot in the
northeast section of the state will
add to the number of cheese factor
les and result in rapid increase in
the production of Iowa cheese for
which there is an increased demand
at good prices due largely to the
falling off Of importations of Eur
opean cheese.
There are but three condensaries
in this state, but these have evapor-
ated 1T29S,20S gallons OF milk.
AS total, dairy products other
than milk, to the value of $36,671,
S25 have been taken from the soil
during the year by the dairy cows of
Iowa without the loss of one cents
worth of its fertility or productive
ness.

Plenty of Coal in Iowa.

The visible supply of coal ia Iowa
is sufficient to occupy the time and
labor of the present contingent Of
coal miners for some time to cone
according to the estimate presented
in the 1915 census report. The coal
area of the state is principally in the
central and southwest corner, in the
valley of the Des Moines river. Coal
is also found in the southwest cor
ner and mined in a limited way; bu.
as a rule the veins lie so deep that
it is impossible to work them al a
profit at present.
Coal mining began in a small way
in Iowa more than fifty years ago,
but it was not until near the begin
ming of the present century that op-
erations in that line took on the
characteristics OF real industry.
During the last ten years the output
has amounted to more than seven
million tons year, giving ell ploy-
menL TO sixteen thousand miners. IL
is estimated that since the first shaft
was opened two hundred million IONS
have been taken out. Biologists es-
innate that the Iowa coal beds still
contain thirty thousand million tons
waiting FOR pick and shovel. Al the
rate it is being mined the visible sup
teen Thousand men something more
than four thousand years. Dy that
time, and long before, the world will
doubtless have discovered and per-
fected some method of storing the
heat from the sun and utilizing it
for economical purposes. We should
worry.

When Edward p. Temple, the
Wizard of the New York Hippo
drome," was engaged by Milton and
Sargent Aborn to make their famous
goth Century production of The
Bohemian Girl" he began to search
the records of ancient Gypsy lore in
order to visualize perfectly the life
of these nemads who are so promln-
ent in the plot of this opera. Conse-
quently there are no anarchronlsms
in the costumes, habits, customs and
appurtenances shown in the Bohe-
mian Gypsy life in the Aborn Opera
Company's pres entation of this splcn
did opera. There are also several
unique Gypsy ceremonials shown, in
Guiding the sylvan wedding Of Ar
line and Taddhus, the climax Of
which is the breaking of stone jug
with a hammer, which corresponds
to the modern minister's words: 81
pronounce you man and wife," This
is only simple incident, one of many
that heighten the realism of the per-
Torrance quite as much as do the
elaborate and spectacular scenery,
costumes and effects to be seen IL

hemian Girl" at the Grand in Decor
ah, Nov. 25th.
No stage director Of the present
day has become so Unidentified with
the doing of "big things" as has Ed
ward P. Temple who directed the
productions that first made the New
York Hippodrome the talk of the
world, and who designed most of the
ingenious mechanical and other eff
fects Of that greater theatre. 1t was
after Mr.. Temple had been establish
ed at the New York Hippodrome for
several years that Milton and Sar-
gent Aborn arranged with him to
direct the big new revival of Balfe's
opera "The Bohemian Girl" No opera
presents greater opportunities fo-
the display of stagecraft on a big
scale than does this one, and Mr..
Temple made full use of every op-
portunity with the result that this
offering created sensation in New
York and other cities, and has had
six sea sons of UNMARRIED success. It
will be seen at the Grand in DEBORAH,
Saturday night, Nov. %.

SOLOMON ON THE PUMPKIN.

My son, when thou maketh Up
thy list of Good Things to Eat for
get not the Pumpkin. For its uses
are manifold. 1t groweth in The
waste places and its golden glow
maketh of the fall fields a beauty
spot. The small boy findeth it ccnve-
nient for his purposes. The dairy cow
reJoiceth in its sUcculence and docb-
leth her yield. The manufacturer
converteth it into jam of hundred
varieties. But it's browning glory
cometh when the housewife maketh
it into Pie. For it gratifieth the pal
ate and filleth the belly. 1t instil-
leth the soul with courage, it stuf'eth
the crop with sand and tilleth the
body with Yigor. 1t maketh a man
TO rejoice in his strength and leadeth
him to tear up TIE earth to accomr-
lish the desires of his heart.
For there is nothing like unto it
upon the entire bill of fare. Boston
boasteth of her baked beans. The
Marylander maketh merry with oy-
ster and terrapin. The Hoosier hath
his possum, persimmons and paw
paws. The Missourian waxeth full
and fat on hog iOwl and greens. The
Texan perfumeth his breath with
onion. The Lou;sianan dineth on
frog legs and the Kansan hath his
manger full of alfalfa. But they all
eat Pumpkin Pie when November
bringeth her bounty. Verify there is
no exception. The Democrat loveth
it; the Republican sweareth by it;
the Progressive delighteth in it and
the Prohibitionist filleth his belly TO
tightness. tits an American institu-
ton whose glory and flavor fadeth
not with the high cost of living. and
its fame will endure, even to the
time when Bryan shall occupy the
White House.

Husked 40 Bushels Corn in 8 Hours

William Dye, employed on the
Robert Gramenz farm, 6 miles north
OF Independence, pulled off a corn
husking stunt last Thursday that
will make the BOYS go some to better.
Some of the fellows doubted that ne
could husk 100 bushels in day. Mr..
Dye proceeded to show them that h
could do that and some more. He
husked 10 bushels in 8 hours and
scooped it off himself. This is at the
rate Of " bushels per hour. Mr.
Dye has set mark for others to
shoot at and it will keep them busy.
Mr.. Gramenz has SO acres in corn
which is going 60 bushels to the acre,
all good, sound corn. He has beer
offered so cents a bushel, but de-
clined the offer, for every bushel of
corn in his field. -Independence

\ Pound of Corn or ID Eggs?

w. II. Harrison, assistant state
chemist, states that the high cost OF
living can be cut down by using lots
or corn. He says a pound of corn is
equal in food value to 22 eggs, IS
potatoes or 80 apples. Years ago
Americans we're wondering why the
people of Europe did not eat corn.
The famous Corn" Murphy was
sent to Europe and started establish
ments there in which dishes made Of
corn were prepared. But, somehow,
the people Of Europe did not seem
to grow enthusiastic over maize, and
stuck to the food to which they had
long been accustomed. The fact is,
that very little corn, excepting the
canned corn is consumed in this
country Perhaps Murphy ought 10
have gotten busy here. There are
always many Europeans visiting in
this country in normal times, and if
they had been introduced to all sorts
of palattable dishes here they might
have insisted upon getting them in
their own countries. But as they
noted that people eat little corn
here, they could hardly be expected
to take kindly to the advice given
them by Murphy and other corn boos-
tiers. Perhaps if proper effort were
made here, the American people
might learn to eat and to like corn.
And then we might not need to try
to educate the Europeans in order
that we might create a market for
our surplus over here.-Burlington

She Gave Herself Away.

Robert Watchorn, the well known
commissioner of immigration, has
made a sympathetic and thorough
study of the immigrant types that
reach New York.
Discussing these types the other
day, he said:
The most naive are the Germans
from the smaller and remoter states.
They have the charmingly simple and
quaint minds of children.
"A beautiful German girl disem-
barked here the other day. She was
tall and strong, blue-eyed and yell
olw-haired. She wanted to know at
once if there were any letters for
her.
THE postmaster at the pier, after
getting her name, said, by way of
joke
lis it a business or a love letter
that you expect?"
The girl faltered:
e" A business letter.
g Well, there's nothing here
said the man, after looking over the
assortment.
The girl hesitated. Then, blushirg
as red as a rose, she said:
Would you mind just looking
among the love letters now, sir?"
