MUSIC CLUB WORKS
FOR PROMOTION OF ART
BRINGS MANY NOTED ARTISTS
HERE AND GIVES PRIZES
TO STIMULATE INTEREST.
By K. S. scANLAN.

The Morning Music Club was organ
lied in March, 1918, by Miss Ethel
Powe for the Improvement of its mem
bers and the promotion Of musical cul-
ture in Hattiesburg. Since that time
the club has done splendid work. The
first year, with Miss Powe as presi-
dent, the plan of study was, for the
first three months, American Music;
after that, German and Russian music,
and current musical events.
The next two years Mrs. A. ]. Grove
was president, and her first year the
plan of study was Modern Composers,
the second, Oratorio, Opera and Amer
lean Composers. This year, 1867,
with Mrs. Akers asspresident, the plan
of strdy is Modern Composers, Cur
rent Musical Events.
The artists that the club has intro
duced to Hattiesburg are Helen Ware,
giolinist, one of the most exquisite of
her profession, with Eugenie Wehr-
nan-Schaffner assisting her; Dorothea
North, dramatic soprano of the Metro
politaI Opera Company, with Mrs.
Grove, accompanist; Irene Janani, ly-
ric soprano, of the Chicago Opera
Company, with Miss Agnes Mclean,
of the Woman's College, accompanist;
Hugo Kortschak, Austrian violinist,
in many respects second to none, with
James Whitaker, concert pianist, ac-
companist, and the famous Zoellner
Quartet.
Two student recitals were given last
year, showing great ability on the part
Of the teacher-members of the club.
'Ye Old Colonial Concert" was also
given by the members of the club, and
beautiful concert it was.
The clubs finances may be of inter-
est to the public. The total taken in
during this past year was $614.59, a
little more than paying all expenses,
including the artist course. There
we're two prizes given by the club, one
Tor grade singing in the public schools,
and one for junior musical competi-
don. A second prize has been offered
his year for junior composition in
music. The club has met with so much
Encouragement that it will bring for
ward more artists, feeling that the
public will cooperate more heartily
han ever in. this great work.

men or women, is made of heavy paper
and cretonne.
The desk pad is made of ain oblong

slowly southward.
Just SO he had stood five years ago
today and watched a figure strikingly
similar to this vending its way toward
the North, willie beside him his plead
ing wife had begged that he recall the
boy. But stubborn something within
gave assurance that he was in the
right, and so he remained silent while
the boyish figure grew smaller and
smaller in the hazy distance and the
woman went inside and the cold North
wind chilled every tender impulse OF
the heart.
The traveller had reached the fence

the faded brown ones before him, and
in wordless greeting he held out his
hand, but the older man was again

was the giving of service cards good

The new card is termed an inspection
card. Every car sold is to have seven
regular inspections; two the first
month and one each for the following
five months. BY that time the car has
been gone over thoroughly and all the
adjustments necessary in a new car
have been made. In effect it is an in

A branch of the Jefferson highway,

and 1t is hoping that Shawnee county

Shawnee county the pattern for the
other counties of the state.

much more than necessary. The road
question is one that we are mostly
interested in.
At present there is a great deal of
agitation for better roads. The time
is ripe when some progress can be
made along this line. 1t is noticeable
that when one of our citizens visits the
state of California, as soon as he gets
home he commences to talk about the
roads. and he cannot talk fast enough
or loud enough. Here is what, a
truck is doing on one of the good roads
in California The paper printed at
the Times building in Los Angeles is
loaded into the truck at PAS in the
morning and delivered at San Diego
in four hours and thirty minutes, a
distance of 1875 miles This truck
travels 27O miles a day or 500 miles
per month. In four months it is said
to have travelled 32,325 miles without
a breakdown.
Start Right Here.
Where is there a better place to
start this good road agitation in Kan
sas and really build some good roads
than out of the capital city? We have
been asleep at the switch long enough.
We have been talking roads and the
kind of roads to build, but we have
never talked about how we are going
to build them. 1t is a business propo-
sition for the business men of Topeka
to get busy. If their automobile club
will be of any service, get into the
automobile club and help them to
spread the information and put the
question fairly and squarely before
the people as they are looking for it
to be put before them, so that every
one will be agreeable and start this
good road movement along the lines
of a hard surface character.
At this time there is a movement on
foot to build a rock road from Topeka
to Kansas City. The people along the
road are ready to support this move
ment. Some may think that il will
take money from Topeka. How many
dollars does Topeka get out of Kansas
City? 1t is safe to say that there will
be more people, ten times over, that
