THE HARMONY GLEE CLUB

The haunting charm of four male
voices blended in a perfect harmony
has an appeal unlike that of any
other music 1t stirs to dreams of
romance; it kindles the fires of he
roism; it revives the memories of
long ago. Nothing can take it's
place. The demand for a standard
male quartet is perhaps the most
constant of all in the Lyceum field.
The Harmony Glee Club is a really
great male quartet. They have filled
five successful seasons. Their en-
semble singing is nearly perfect as
the exquisite blending of splendid
voices can make it. Each member
is also an accomplished soloist-

NEW WAR FLOUR TO BE ON 10.
CAL MARKET.

Under the recent order of the
Food Administration, which went
into effect in Kentucky on Deem
Der 26, Paris and Bourbon county
people will soon be eating "waT
bread" made from flour containing
much larger percentage of bran
than that now sold by Paris grocers.
Under the recent government or
der, which provides for the use OF
seventy-four per cent of the wheat
berry instead of only fifty per cent,
two grades of -four will be eliminat-
ed, and the entire new output will
be listed as "war-flour" of the first
and second grades.
The new flour, although it has
been manufactured by the local mil
ling concerns for over two weeks,
has not gone into general use on &C
count of the large stocks Of patent
-four carried by Paris retailers.
The price of -four will remain
practically the same to consumers on
account of the recent government
order lowering the price Of mill
feed down to about $40 ton.
Under the ruling, according to a
statement by Mr.. B. M. Renick, OF
the Paris Milling Company, 196
pounds of flour will be made by the
mills from four bushels and twenty
four pounds of wheat, where the
same amount of flour was formerly
made from four bushels and thirty
pounds of wheat. Bread made from
the new flour will resemble Ora
ham -four or the whole wheat -four
and will be rich in nutritious prop
critics.

JANUARY COURT DAY.

January Court Day." the first of
the year is always a small affair,
but yesterday was the dreariest of
the dreary. There wasn't a corpor-
ais guard of traders on the market,
and the only stock on the market
was a few disconsolate-looking
mules. The extremely cold and dis
agreeable weather kept the people
at home, and those who came to the
city spent most of their time in
hunting the warm places close to the
stoves and heaters. January court
day. is also a good day to keep
country people at home, as the fes-
tive bill collector is generally on
their trail.

nounced yesterday that Il will hold Its
annual indoor games In March instead
Of January this season. Conditions
caused by the sudden termination OF the
war made 1t impossible for the Millrose
club TO prepare its usual big athletic
show in time for January. Negotiations
are under way among the Millrose A. A..
the Meadowbrook Club of Philadelphia
and the national championship commit
tee OF the Amateur Athletic Union OF the
United states for staging a series of
three big meets in March. The three
organizations are going 20 combine THAR
resources in an effort to put amateur
athletics back on the map.
The Mlllrose date will be In the week
beginning March 9. 1t will be definitely
announced as soon as ARA ngements can
be completed with the management of
Madison Square Garden. The Meadow
brooks date will be Saturday. March
Is, and the national Championships will
probably be a week later. the 22d,
This tentative schedule has been
worked out among the three organise
lions with the idea OF securing the coun-
try for every available athlete of note
so that those coming from a distance
may have an opportunity of competing
In each Of the thre" big meets. 1t il
possible, too. thai invitations NAV be
sent abroad to prominent athletes in a
further effort TO stir up International
compel ltion.
