ROSE GILBERG RECITAL
Topeka Friends Who Heard Her
Predict Future for Talented Girl.

A large audience felt well repaid
after greeting Miss Rose Gilberg at
her song recital which was given Sun
day afternoon at the Orpheum theater.
The friends of Miss Gilberg. who had
admired the richness of her voice be-
fore she went to Chicago to study with
Deyries. were warm in their praise
of the noted improvement. Her voice,
which is naturally beautiful. has
gained strength and smoothnesS.
There is velvety quality to her tones
which is most unusual. She was equal
ly at ease in her heaviest numbers as
we'll as in her lightest.
There is something unexplainab Bile
about a concert in "her own home
town" by singer who is on the
threshold of fame, as Miss Gilbert un-
doubtedly is. None who heard her
Sunday can question her ability to go
far in her chosen profession-her

to the best advantage, and in those
selections, the most difficult of her

include an accompanist who can

STAY ON FARMS
That Is Grimes's Advice to
Those Getting Old.
Communities Need Men Who
Helped To Make Them.

Manhattan, Kan, June 23.-Stay on
the farm. Let your son or some one
else take the hard work and respon-
sibility off your shoulders if neces-
sary, but gives him and the home COM
munity the benefit of your advice.
Adoption of this policy by farmers
advancing in age will help the farm
ing communities and will leave the
towns for those who are interested in
them for commercial purposes, be-
lieves w. E. Grimes. assistant profess
sor of farm management in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Help Run Affairs.
"By remaining on the farm the
farmer is in the community in which
he is interested and can take an &C
Mr.. Grimes. Upon retiring he prob
ably will have more time for COM
munity work and can give the COM
munity the benefit of his experience
and knowledge. Such men often be-
come active members in farm bu-
reaus and other farmers organiZa-
tions. They will also be where they
can advise whoever is operating their
farm. -
This will give the country COM
work which the younger and more
active men are too busy to attend to.
1t should result in greater co-opera-
ton among farmers and a betterment
of rural living conditions.
THE automobile, rural mail deliv-
cry, and other conveniences now pos
sible on farms make it less desirable
than formerly that farmers retire to
town. The farmer who retires usual
ly retires not SO much because he is no
longer physically able to farm but be-
cause he is so situated financially that
he can afford to do so. If he is in the
latter position he owes it to the COM
munity to devote his energies to COM
munity betterment, rather than to de-
sert the community for one in which
he is not interested"

and I failed completely to find any
thing that would do me any good. My
stomach was in such bad condition
that I would just suffer agonies every
time I ate anything. My food would
sour on my stomach and I would be

that I hadn't given the medicine a

that a contract will be let shortly for
this work. With the tearing down of

will be gone.

number of the most prominent women
of Topeka and Kansas attended the
school when it was located in To-
peka avenue. In the seventies Beth
any college was moved to it's present
site, and the erection of buildings
begun there.
For the past thirty years or more,
up to 1916, the building was the prop
erty of the Kansas Theological school,
which held three or four meetings an
nually in Topeka. During the past
three years it has not been used for
any purpose. At one time, from 1910
to 1915, a boys club of Grace
Cathedral used part of the ground for
tennis courts and built a frame club
house in the rear.
The four south lots of the property
have been disposed of, and the cathe-
dral intends to sell the balance of the
ground as soon as possible. 1t is
believed that by demolishing the an
cient building, the sale of the lots can
be expedited.
