EVAN WILLIAMS

''OId Jesse was happy if ever man
was . in horotOr10 AT
times he'd rap with his fiddle stick
maun ali stop it's my turn An he'd
face round to his front, fair sweatin
wi pride, to sing the tenor solos. -
On Greenow Hill (kipling).
KipIing's description of Jesse Roam
trees delight in "horotorio" fits per-
fectly the shoulders of Evan Williams.
That first group of oratorio numbers
were evidently the ones that Willams
most delighted to sing. Like Kiphng
Cornishman he loved to hear that big,
organlike tenor of his boom out IN
such impressive numbers as Sound
An Alarm" and Total Eclipse" The
obvious dramatics of the latter num-
ber and the stirring musical rhetoric,
the sonorousness. the dignity, and the
opportunity for full tone production in
the Handel numbers just suited the
voice and temperament of the Welsh
singer.
Williams seemed more at home, too,
in religious numbers. His tempera-
ment is essentially orthodox. Altho he
sang his other songs with commun1-
cative feeling, yet he did not, for in
stance, quite penetrate into the exotic
fervor of Liza Lehmann's settings OF
quatrains from the Rubaiyat, or quite
express the elusive content of Grieg' s
Elm Schwan." He rendered the sim
pie pathos of the Dvorak Songs My
Mother Taught Me" and such stirring
numbers as THE Invictus' and The
Cross finely.
For Williams is essentially a dra-
matte tenor. He could never have at
tanned the melting Iyricism of Nc
Cormack. His voice has almost bar
itone quality. which has a charm all
its own. He produces his tones with
delightful freedom and the high C's
that he touched in his program were
accomplished perfectly and easily.
Williams was not in particularly good
voice last evening evidently having a
slight cold The latter might be re-
sponsible for the impression that
there was a certain flatness in the
tones of his middle register. Williams
has his own singing method. His pro-
duction of high notes. pianissimo, was
more of a sibilant sigh than a formed
tone. and lacked resonance.
His program was well balanced and
selected and enthusiastically received
by his audience. Williams evidently
loves his audiences and was very gen.
erous of his encores.
Perhaps it is hardly fair to whisper
it in a criticism but methinkS that
Williams is not quite so young as he
once was. Two more years and his
voice won't be as worth hearing as it
was last night. ID. R. H.

MAKING BETTER COOKS
State Teachers Are Holding Kitchen
School in Topeka This Week.

A cooking school class is being held
this week at the State street school
The school is under the direction of
Miss Frances Brown, who had charge
of the cooking school two years ago at
the auditorium. Miss Brown works
under the direction of the Kansas
State Agricultural college, holding
farmers institutes at the grange halls
in the country and cooking schools in
the city.
Miss Stella Mather, who has been
in charge of the demonstration work.
at State street, has gone to Indian
and her place has been taken by Miss
Louise .Colville of Manhattan. Talks
are given on home anagement, sew
ing, home decoration and nursing. In
the schools the first year elementary
cookery is given, the second year
fancy cookery, and the third year
therapeutic cookery.
The classes are very popular, the
only charge being the cost of the ma
terials used. which in a medium sized
class is about 10 cents per member
The class has proven very popular in
Lansing, the women calling for the
tree schools in two years. In the
average school the ages range from 5
of the older women who attend, they
already having formed their opinions
and ways of cooking, which in most
cases are Interchangeable.
In the country districts lectures are
given on school lunches, packing of
lunches and first aid to the injured
treatments. These schools are given
by the state free from October until
March to people asking for them.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

GiTls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful glossy. silky hair. do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way TO get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moistea
the scalp and rub it is gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, toe, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will etop, and
your hair will look and feel a hun
dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t is mex
peusive and four ounces is all you will
need, no matter how much dandruff
you have. This. simple remedy never

Coreless Apples Falling.

After reading the article in last

less and seedless Banana apples In
John Moulton's orchard near Weiser,
George Coulson is of the opinion that
the apples will not mature. In his
orchard, he had a good crop of Winter
Banana apples, which were seedless
and coreless. He, too, had pleasant
anticipations of cellar full of that
luscious fruit for next winter. But,
alas, the apples are shriveling and
falling off the trees. His neighbor,
Mr.. Wills, has had the same expert
ence with Yellow Transparents.

management Of the proposed rural
credit banks. If the system succeeds
as stated, the government ceases to
be financially connected with it and
the borrowers become the stockhoId-
ers, but do not acquire the right TO
elect the board of managers.
There is 2 general outline of the
law. Banks will no doubt begin to
be organized as soon as their loca-
tions are determined at Washington.
Meantime local associations, which
are the core Of the proposed system,
will be organized generally over the
country. A vital feature is the lin
itation to per cent interest from
the farmer, a provision that viii be
popular in all partly settled sections
where interest rates run from TO
Y per cent or even higher.

After 16 years of active business
life in the butcher business in En-
NETT, J. L. Steward yesterday sold
his interest to Allen A. Flesher of
Salem, Ore. The deal includes the

residence property in other parts of
town.

brother retired and Al Brown sue
ceeded him. Then Brown retired

bought an interest. Under their
management the business has grown
and prospered. The building in which
their meat market is located, was
erected nine years ago.

vote himself to cattle buying and
raising. He now owns 100 head. He

BRAVE BOYS
RISK LIVES
Marion Coulter and Edwin Jackson
Rescue Drowning People

But for the bravery of Marion
Coulter and Edwin Jackson, two EN-
nett boys, the Methodist church pic
mic on Friday would probably have
ended in sorrow and gloom.
The picnic was held in the Preble
grove, few miles down the river on
the north side. During the afternoon,
several of the boys and girls went
swimming. Two of them, Paul Ger
hart and Frances Portlock, who can
not swim, stepped into a deep hole
and were drowning, when the two
boys named above-mere lads-jump-
ed into the stream and succeeded in
rescuing their two companions, the
Coulter boy bringing out young Ger
hart, and the Jackson boy bringing
out Miss Portlock It was a brave
thing to do for any one, and espec-
tally so for boys as young as they are.
The picnic was a big success and
was largely attended The dinner
was bounteous and appetizing, and an
interesting program Of sports and
games was given, under the direction
of Frank Berry, superintendent Of the
Sunday school

The new mill has confronted the
board with a serious problem in TAX
ing care of the increase of school
children. 1t means that the expense
of conducting the schools will be con-
siderably increased without adding to
the revenues, as the new buildings
now going up and those in contempla-
ton cannot be added to the tax roll
this year. On top of that, the val
uation is $4,000 less than it was last
year. These conditions have necessi-
tated an increase of the tax levy
from IL to 10 mills.

SCHOOLS TO OPEN ON
SEPTEMBER II
Levy of Is Mills on the Dollar
Decided Upon by
Board.

The Emmett schools will open
September IL. This was decided at
meeting of the board held Tues
day afternoon. The corps Of teachers
has been selected, but it is probable
that two more than last year will be
needed, owing to the location of the
sawmill here and the consequent in
crease of pupils. In that case it will
also be necessary to make provisions
for two more school rooms.
