Twentieth Century Club. Enjoys Re-

citaI by Miss Christian.
Iowa. newspapers have devoted col
umns in recent years In praising the
achievements Of Miss Jessie Christian,
of GrinnelI. in the field OF music, tell
( ing Of the success the lowe. soprano
! has made in concert work, and OF her
entrance into grand opera. Tuesday
night members and guests Of the
Twentieth Century Club had their first
opportunity Of hearing Miss Christian
and to those who have read her praises
a realization Of her Accomplishment
| was no disappointment. -,
Miss Christian appeared at the home
of Mrs. Jennie Willard, 500 West Main
street, and captivated her audience.
I She sang a program Of seventeen num-
bers. and was generous with her en-
cores. Her voice Is wonderfully pure
In quality, which Is sustained evenly
thruout wide compass. A most
pleasing personality, and perfect
enunciation. added to the singers
charm. and her program was in every
sense real delight. Adding greatly to
the evenings enjoyment was Miss
Emily Perkins work as accompanied.
Lovers Of the plano could not help but
admire her artistic ability. and realize
what the confidence in that ability
meant to the singer.
Miss Christians program included a
group Of old English songs, another of
French songs, and one from American
composers. Two arias, sung In French.
were the heavier numbers, and were
exquisitcly done. The first was De
puts lie jour-" ("Ever Since the Day")
from Charpentier's Louise" and the
other the Bell Song from "Lakme," by
Leo Delibes.
Following the entertainment light
refreshments were served by Misses
Lorabel Richardson, Fannie and Rosie
Flower. Pearl Adams and Clemewell
Lay and Mesdanes Hazel Abbott and
Frank Hull.
Owing to the absence from the city Of
Mrs. Willard. her daughter, Mrs. H.
W.. Householder, acted as hostess Of
the evening. Incidentally. and Of in
terest to the guests, was the announce
ment by Mrs.sF. S. ;Hynds, president Of
the club, that It was Just eight years
ago that night that the Willard home
was opened for It's first social affair,
Fthe celebration Of the silver wedding
Of MI. and Mrs. Willard and the mar
riase5 Of their eldest daughter. Lucille,
to Carroll, Kirk. As a result Of the
announcement Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk re-
ceived the hearty congratulations Of
the guests. -.

ZACH year for forty years
1.-the Wheatland Flowing
Match has been held near
Wheatland, III. The Wheatland
Flowing Match Is a classic, just
as much so as the Kentucky Der
by, the Olympian games or the
motor races at Indianapolis.
It draws an attendance Of
hundreds Of farmers from many
states. Its entries in years past
were real men, trained by years
of experience in following the
furrcw of the plow and whose
hands were calloused from the
work that had trained and fitted
them for entry in the Wheatland
event.
For forty years the Wheat
land Flowing Match was a horse
blowing tournament. This year
TRACTORS were entered In the con-
test. The use of tractors In this
old established contest is just
another indication of the pass
ing Of the horse.

MANNING'S COTTON MARKET
is AS GOOD AS ANY

The Ma1ning Cotton Market is as
good as any in this section of the
State. 1t should be, and to those who
doubt it, very simple test will easily
prove the truth or falsity of this pro-
position.
We have Cotton Grader here who
understand his business. If the Far
mers will have their cotton graded,
then sell the cotton and turn the
cards over to him he will have on file
in his office records showing what
niddling cotton, low m,ddling cotton,
and all the other grades have brought
on this market at various dates. The
Cotton Grader in Sumter mas exactly
the same information and this infor-
nation is open to the public. If the
Farmers use the Grader 1ere they can
know without guessing whether the
Manning market is up 70 the Sumter
market.
II the proceeding suggested above
is to slow, because the Farmer would
not get the information until after he
had sold, and he wishes the competi-
tion between Sumter and Manning
markets, he can easily get it in the
following manner: Bring the cotton
to Manning; have it graded; get the
best offer you can on your samples.
then telephone Sumter, to a BUYER
there, and find out what they will give
in Sumter for the same grades of cot
ton that you have. If they will give
more in Sumter tell them you are
selling them SO many bales of mid
ding cotton, so many bales of low
mlddllng, ETC., carry the cotton to the
depot; ship to the Buyer, sending him
Dill OF ladlng and the cards showing
now the Manning Grader has graded
the cotton: IT | am mistaken in say
ing that the Manning market is as
good as Sumter's. then the plan sup-
gested above will carry cvery bale
from Manning to Sumter, because
every man should sell where he can
get the best prices. If l am correct
in saying that the Manning market
IS as good, then it seems to me that
the Farmers owe it to themselves to
prove this claim to their own salts
faction by having competition be-
tween Manning and Sumter Buyers on
all the cotton that they bring here.
l am tired Of hearing criticisms of
the Manning market. 1t is unfair and
foolish unless based upon competition
in the purchase Of the same cotton at
the same hour of the same day. If
Sumter does pay more than Manning
on the same grades at the same hour.
of the same day then the producers
OF cotton should know It, and the
business men of Manning should, and
no doubt will, take steps to correct
such condition.
