The crown of Teresa Carreno, as
most wonderful of women pianists, de-
scended by legitimate right to Yolanda
Nero in the formers death.

piano" "the giantess of the piano."
and by the reviewer of the Philadel-
phia Record as ''the greatest of all
women pianists.' She was the choice
of Miss Laura G. CASTOR for the
pianist on the Peoples Music Course.

into an exaltation OF admiration BY
the splendor of her immature pianism
Progressing in years, her mastery Of
the piano became more and more pro-
nounced as she captivated Berlin
Leipzig and other art centers Of the
continent until in 1908, when her
great triumph in London placed her
in the first rank of great pianists
and prepared her way for instant
American recognition and worldwide
reputation at the early age of 25 years.
Since the little Magyar girl of S left
her first Instructor, her father. and
later was sent forth by her master,
Madame Augusta Rennebaum, LISTS
famous disciple, to win her niche in
the hall Of fame, she has been heard
and admired by music lovers in all
lanls.
Today Madame Nero is one of the
younger of the virtuosi, as charming
Of personality as she is overshadow-
ing as an artist; the more attractive
now as loyal American, the wife of a
well-known New York banker, and a.
substantial supporter Of all war
causes.

Farmers are urged by the food a.
ministration to keep their immature
fowls on the farm. Storage space b
exceedingly hard to get and Tor thAt
reason much loss would result IN mas
ketins fowls that could be kept On tn
farms. The government is using Z
very large proportion of the cold stos
age of the country. making 1t exceed
ingly difficult to obtain By packers
and shippers OF poultry. Only cid
hens, stfgs, etc, should be marketed
at this time by the farmers.
The farmers are also urged to keel
some Of the old turkey hens on the
farms for next years laying. II haa
been found from experience that eggs
from the old hens are more fertile,
produce stronger and better birds than
those from the young hens. For thai
reason it would be serious mistake,
that might result In losses next year,
to sell all of the old turkeys also. NJ
young hens should be sold unless they
weigh over eight pounds. and youfs
toms should not be sold with lssa
weight than twe.ve pounds. !,
