entertain the wanderers without charge.
Low ceiling farmhouse bedrooms with
rough hewn rafters, feather beds and
patchwork quilts, might cap" OF cider
and doughnuts, were rare treats to the
youngsters after an all days ride across
the plains and an evening concert.
AS the family became better known,
the two older brothers rode a day ahead
and arranged bookings. Publicity ex-
penses consisted largely in fines paid
to get brother Charles out of jail, for
that enterprising youth was arrested
regularly for painting flaming red ad-
vertisements on the sidewalks of the
business sections of the larger towns
In addition to Athol's performance
with twenty-four instruments, several
of which were the invention of father
Caring, the family also introduced a
one-act minstrel show as curtain
raiser, and n speciality in which the
seven played ten instruments with
tremendous effect.
Instruments were always bought in
sets of seven, and the collection, from
1880 to 1892, when the family ceased
as q troupe, is cherished possession
of Mr.. Caring to-day. There are the
old bell-back comets of German silver
the Helhcon instruments. which coiled
around the body and were played by
means of rotary valves; the bell up
rights, which worked with piston
valves, then the bell front, and lastly
a set of up-to-date brass instruments.
After the Caring family ceased to
exist as such Mr.. Caring was con-
ductor of several orchestras previous
to becoming a member of Sousas Band
in 1905. He had been with that or
ganization, until at the famous band
masters suggestion, Caring was Sc
lected four years ago for the respon-
sible post of musical director of the
Dillingham; extravaganzas at the Hip
podrome.

Failure Ahead for Those
Who Depend on Luck TO
Win i'm Theater, She Says

Ethclnd Terry, leading lady in
"Honey Dew," the Iimbalst play with
music at the Casino, says she does not
believe in chance. whose power is often
manifest in theatrical affairs, as fac
tor of success.
Miss Terry, whose home is in Phila-
delphia, is just = tritle over seventeen
years of age. This time last year she
was n student of Mount ST. Dominic
thought that the plaudits of Broad
way success would be ringing in her
ears in so short a while Engaged
originally for the seXtet in the re-
vival of "Florodora" last spring, Miss
Terry was also made the understudy
of its prima donna, Eleanor Painter.
The promise of her first performance
in that role when Miss Painter was
taken i'll inspired Lee Shubert to place
Miss Terry under long-term contract
which he generously transferred to
Joe Weber.
"Any one who has seen and remem-
bers the speech that my stage father
(Mr Park) makes in the play about op-
portunity and success will also appre-
ciate my full agreement with him on
that subject" says Miss Terry. "Be-
fore | went on the stage | had read a
whole lot about personality and beauty
being important assets toward a sue
cessful stage career. Although | have
not been very long on the stage, and
while l admit that personality and
beauty are important factors, am still
firm in the belief that, after all has
been said and done, everything depends
upon hard work. At least have found
it so in my own case. If one would
understand how hard I studied and
worked over that understudy role Of
'Dolores,' and how, without wishing
any misfortune to overtake Miss
Painter, | am free to confess that
prayed and prayed to be given the op-
portunity to sing her role. When il

Cooperative Creamery
Splendid Investment
Expert Finds Sank Lake Association
in Prosperous Condition After
Careful Investigation.

I have just gone over the records
of the Sank Lake Cooperative
creamery at Sank Centre, and am
pleased to be able to say that I found
the creamery association in a pros
porous, well paying condition.
I estimate that the patrons of the
creamery received an average of six
cents pound more on every pound
of butterfat they sold during 1919
than they should have received had
they not had their cooperative
creamery. This means at least $40
more for every COW MIXED or a total
of ten thousand dollars more money
for the community.
While the cooperative creamery is
doing splendidly it should be remem-
bered by every farmer that there is
always danger ahead. The creamery
has competition and competition that
is only waiting for some sign of
weakness, to commence an active
campaign to get the business away
from the creamery.
While the creamery is doing well,
there is no chance for outside COM
petition, but let the creamery have
poor business management for little
time, and the patrons begin to be-
come dissatisfied, and then lookout.
It is for this reason that I am al
ways anxious about. the business
management of every cooperative
creamery. It is of first Importance
always, that cooperative creamery
like any other business, employ first
class men. I have known co-opera-
tive creameries that tried to save a
few dollars in salaries by employing
cheap men, and loose, thousands
through poor butter, poor accounting
and loss of patronage.
I would estimate that the Sank
Lake Cooperative Creamery in Sank
Centre to be worth in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, considering its To-
cation and what it would cost to re-
place the building and machinery.
It is business every farmer should
be proud of and work for as though
it were his own, for it is.-A. j.
