M. f.. Sunday school Is certainly
worthy Of mention especially the work
of the boys class who dramatized a
portion of the book on missionary
work they had been studying. Mrs.
Norton's class and the Baraca boys
also added much to the program with
their missionary pageant illustrative
of the book they have been studying.
Every number on the program was
fine. Mrs. w. l.. Covert's class Of
girls enjoyed an. evening last week at
the home Of their teacher. Pot luck

an evening of games and music. In

CLOVER SEED
SHORTAGE IS RE.
PORTED SERIOUS
GENERAL USE OF EMERGENCY
SUBSTITUTE CROPS NEEDED
SAY EXPERTS.

East Lansing, Mich, April 21.-An
unprecedented shortage of clover seed
demands the general use this year Of
emergency crops for hay purposes, if
the farmers Of the state are to escape
serious loss, according to Prof. j. F..
Cox, head of the Farm Crops depart
ment at the M. A. c.
1.-THE dagger lies not only in short
age Of the clover crop this year." de-
clares Prof. Cox, "but also in the pros
pect of serious future loss in cultivat-
ed crops such as corn, beans, beets and
potatoes, and in decreased production
of grains, since on majority of soils
vigorous clover sod is necessary for
the success of these crops"
Alfalfa and sweet clover can be
substituted where clover seed cannot
be obtained. The use of corn Gas a
forage crop) millet, soybeans, sudan
grass, oats for hay, peas and oats and
sorghum is also possible to meet the
shortage Of clover. Corn is counted
on to supply the largest amunt of ac-
ceptable forage which can be substi-
tuted for hay.
Full information on substitute and
emergency hay crops may be had by
writing to Prof. ]. +. Cox, East Ian

"Food Saving and Sharing"
Not long after the war broke out
the allies could not get food. We
were glad to send food to them; we
put substitutes in our bread; we ate
less sugar than we did before; and
we had meatless and wheatless days.
The war is over but that does not fill
the empty plates Of the allies. We
will have to be careful not to waste
food. Some people pile their tables
with delicacies. That is the way it
has been in this country. People
now say that loaded table is wrong.
They begin to think more about their
food. A soldier boy wrote home and
said that when he thought how far
the bread came he was proud to think
he was an American.
The above is an essay written by

New Singer Pleases
Elizabeth Gutman Makes Debut
in Aeolian Hall Recital

Miss Elizabeth Gutman, a singer new
to New York. made her debut yesterday
afternoon at Aeolan Hall. Miss Gut
man is young woman endowed by
nature with qualities much above the
average. She is the posscssor of a
voice of ample power and of unusual
warmth and richness of timbre. More
over, she has temperament and the
power Of expressing it. But her art as
yet lags far behind her nature. Her
upper tones are not easily produced
and they were often off the pitch. and
IN her interpretations there was a lack
of variety. Some of her numbers. and
IN particular Gretchaninow's "Sboz"
and the group Of Yiddish folksongs. she
gave, however, with 4 good deal of
power. but she was unequal to the
opening group, which included Gluck's
Spiagge Amati," Righini's Amor. che
cleco sei' and Corey's Pastoral" Yet.
IN spite Of her deficiencies. Miss Gut
man is singer who ought to have a
future once she has brought deeper
art 70 her service She was greeted
warmly by large audience.

po'gnancy Of the excitement as to
whether he was to live or die.
Inc play concerns the fortunes Of a
Chinese prince in America whose fol-
lowers in far-off China are in revolt
against the Manchu dynasty. He loves
AID is beloved by the beautiful Lien
VIVA, but it is impossible that they
should marry, for the revolutionary
party needs funds for arms and ammu-
milton, and the only way in which this
money can be secured is for the girl
TO be sold to rich merchant. In these
days. when the cost of living is rising
ever higher, nobody was much sur
prlsed when Fen-Sha, the gambler, paid
100000, just the sum of treasure re-
qulred by the revolutionists, in order
TO wed Lien Wha. But it came as
something Of shock when we learned
that Fen-Sha was none other than the
terrible Sea Crab, secret agent Of the
Manchu Emperor. After paying Dong
Tong, Lien Wha's father, the stipulated
sum for his daughter, Fen-Sha prompt
~ got the money back again bv
the simple expedent Of having the
venerable Dong killed. He also man
aged to have the young revolutionary
prince stabbed in the back But he
roes are OF sterner stuff than vener-
able fathers, and after Lien Wha had
honorably murdered her husband for
his august misdeeds it was discovere ed
that the prince had received nothing
worse from his injury than a high
fever. That was hardly a misfortune,
for In his delrium he sang the love
song which he and the heroine had
made their own in the first act, and
thus served to bring the final curtain
down with note of successful senti-
nent which left everybody happy.
Albert Bruning, as revolutionary
leader contrived a death scene magnifi-
Gently, and Marion Abbott, Frederic
Burt and Thomas Findlay all did good
work. George Scarborough, who has
collaborated with David Belasco in the
play, has contributed some excellent
situations, but his lines have little
color or poetry. The scenery, however
makes up that deficiency in measure,
and the Chinese wedding of the third
act is among the best stage effects
which Mr.. Belasco has ever devised
