RECITALS
The Flonzalcy Quartet.

The Flonzaley Quartet which plays
at the Grand next Monday evening,
came into existence during the sum-
mer of 1908, through the initiative Of
Mr.. e. j.. de Coppet and Alfred
Pochon. The first meeting of the
newly formed organization took place
at the Swiss home of Mr.. de Coppet,
"Flonzaley" on the shores Of Lake
Geneca "FBonzaley" in the Swiss
patois means "brooklet"
The season 1920-1921 marks the
eighteenth milestone in the career
Of the quartet, record embracing
over one hundred performan ces a
year during that period, and includ-
ing tours that have covered the en-
tire United States and Canada and
the principal music centers of Great
Britain and the continent. Seven
teen years of almost continuous per
Torrance or rehearsal constitutes an
achievement which the friends Of
this unique organization maintain has
seldom been equalled.
There are many music-lovers who
remember the Flonzaleys when they
first made a bid for public favor in
America. None but their manager,
Loudon Charlton. and the members
or the quartet themselves, can Iully
appreciate the difficulties that were
encountered at the outset of that
venture; for chamber music at that
time was appreciated by patronage
much smaller than it is today, while
the securely established Kneisels-
whose members. by the way, were
always on terms OF warmest cordial
ity with the younger organizat ion
had the field pretty much to itself.
1t took several years of unremitting
work under discoUraging conditions
to win the following which the quar-
tet has today-a following that fills
Aeolian hall completely for each Of
it's three New York subscription con
certs, and numbers hundreds Of
music lovers in cities large and small
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Hear TALK ON
ROTARY IDEALS
r h Lourie Says Lives Of Washing.
ter and Lincoln Were Typical
or Organization Spirit

r. B. Lourie told pupils OF the
high school this morning that lives
of Washington and Lincoln were
typical OF the spirit and ideals OF
Rotary. He was explaining the
meaning and principals of the Ro-
tary club organization. Although
Rotary was not organized until after
their work was done. he said that
thew were typical Of its teachings
and attained it's objects.
Mr.. Lourie impressed the students
with necessity and importance OF
giving service now; he said the
man who devoted the present to
selfish ends with the purpose OF
later devoting his energy and prob
ably wealth to community better
ment, did not reach the highest
ideals of community responsibility.
Motto Of Rotary, he profits most
who serves best, was the theme OF
his talk and its meaning was ap-
piled to many phases of life. The
weekly luncheon Wednesday will
be a gala occasion and the local
club committee is preparing an
entertainment that will be

ASSN. men HERE
TO HELP DRIVE


Four members Of the Illinois Az
ricultural association from various
parts Of the state arrived in Aledo
today to assist in the cleanup cam
paign by the Mercer county farm
bureau. 1t was expected that six
men would be here, but owing to
the misconstrued directions only
four were sent.
The campaign which starts today
Is an endeayor to secure 100 per
cent Mercer county membership
for the farm bureau. The men who
came to assist Farm Advisor P. 8.
Richey are III. Curtis OF Wood
land. Iroquois county; H. S. Shade
of Mclean county; A. A. Hill OF De-
catur and Mr.. Ryan of kewanee.
The four men met with Mr.. Rich
ey and members Of the Mercer coun-
ty farm bureau today and outlined
their mode Of attack. The men ex-
pected to divide into four parts,
sending one l. A. A. man with one
or Two local members throughout
the district to secure new mem
bers.
Recent work Of the farm bureau
has made great impression on
Mercer county farmers and without
a doubt the entire farm member
ship will be secured within the
week. IT ia not known def1nitolv
whether the four men will remain
in the city the full week or not.
According to Mr.. Richey it depends
on whether or not the Mercer farm
ers sign up membership the first
few days Of the campaign. There
are about two hundred farmers in
Mercer county who should belong
to the farm bureau who are not at
present listed on its membership
roll. An effort will be made to Sc
cure each one Of these this week.

OF this vast sum it is expected the
railroads will during the next de-

advances so made sums which in
the aggregate will reduce the gov

represent the loss incurred in two
