Piano-Forte Recital

A large audience greeted Ma
rion Logan Kean Sellers in Muir
rell Auditorium as she appeared
in formal piano recital Monday
evening. The event was heralded
with much enthusiasm by local
musicians, who delighted in the
opportunity Of hearing the young
artist in a comprehensive pro
gram. That no one has been
added to the musical life of our
city with more approval was
manifested by the large number
present and the evident salts
faction in the cOncert-givers fin
ished efforts. Mrs. Sellers pro-
gram included such a variety and
requirements that both students
and music lovers had equal share
in the pleasure of the evening
With Mrs. Sellers it is evident
that music is a vital factor OF
life, and her playing exhibits q
quality and spirituality endowed
and not acquired.
The difficult, and often abused
Sonata was played with fluent
technic, dramatic fire and inter
pretative insight.
The Schumann selections were
admirably done and revealed
imagination and appreciation Of
the lyrical, combined with emo
tional and poetic quality.
The Revolutionary Etude Of
Chopin, making exceptional de.
mand Tor Une lett nand, was play
ed with great freedom and brill.
fancy.
OF the last group probably the
Etude of Arensky with its trans
parent scale passages, and De
bussy's Moonlight" with SHIN
Imering effects of light and shade
were the favorite numbers.
Not only generous applause bu
beautiful flowers attested the es
TEEN for the concert-giver, ant
the recital was in every way
pronounced success.

the referees whistle blew for
the first half, Kemper made a
free throw, ending the half with
w. M. A. one point in the rear,
the count being z to6.
The second period of the con-
test was where the red and white

tacular goal shooting Of Went
worth's center, James Dick. Dick
is the coolest, cIeanest man on
the local five and swept the

LEXINGTON DAIRY co.
MAKES STATEMENT
Plans and Purposes Set Forth
For Better Milk

n vi DCkNLL NAAAh
Owing to the many inquiries
concerning our new city dairy
plant, we wish to inform the pub
lie that about the middle of
March, we will be ready for bus
mess in the new building to be
known as the Lexington Dairy
Co. The building will be con-
crete and brick, we'll ventilated,
lighted and equipped with all
modern machinery for handling
milk in safe and sanitary man
ner. We are for better milk and
by consolidating, we eliminate
much work and give to our custo-
mers a better product. We will in
stall a clarifer and pastuerizer.
The clarifier is a machine for re
moving the dirt and impurities
from the milk.
The pastuerizer is then used for
heating the milk to 140 degrees.
This process kills the bacteria
germ and renders the milk alb
solutely pure and safe without
efecting the flavor or cream
line. When water is impure, the
public demands that it be filtered
and for the sake Of our families
we should use filtered milk
which is clarified and pastuerized
milk. All bottles will be placed
in a container and thoroughly
sterilized before being filled with
milk.
We have studied sanitation and
want better milk conditions. We
have given you the cleanest mill
we could produce with home ia
cilities and by building this mod
ern sanitary milk plant, we car
insure you cleaner and purel
milk, free from contamination
which is an important factor in
reducing diseases. We realize
that the growth of our business,
depends on the manner in which
we meet the demands of the pub
lie. We ask your cooperation
we want you to help us feel that
our earnest efforts are justified
for the preparedness of better
milk.
Our manager comes with the
best of references, he has hac
thorough training in the dairy
department of an Agricultural
College, and has had wide expert
ence in the pastuerization Of
milk, butter making and is {
thorough milk plant operator.

Ask for Farm Loan Bank

Columbus, Miss, October 24.-(Special.)
s. B. Street, Jr., president Of the local
Chamber of Commerce, announces that
directors of that organization have de-
cided to withdraw the application for a
farm loan bank at Columbus, and no rep
resentative will be sent to Jackson to
present local claims when the farm loan
board meets there on October 81 to re-
ceiye applications from Mississippi cities.
Application for farm loan bank was
made several months ago, when j. c..
Weatherly was secretary Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, but soon thereafter Mr..
Weatherly rendered his resignation, and
as the organization was without Sec
rotary for quite a long time there was
no one to prepare the necessary data
for the farm loan board. After consid-
ering this fact and also the fact that
some of the largest cities In the south
are endeavoring to secure the single bank
that Is to be established In this section
the directors became convinced that any
further effort on their part would be a
mere will-o-the-wisp chase, and hence
decided to let the matter drop.

jutant general of Walthalls brigade,
