400 BOYS AND
GIRLS M1 aBERS
Or RJNAL CLUBS

Ihe club work for boys and girls,
which has 6een carried on in the State
Tor seven years, has many ardent sup
Jrters in Audrain County. The Boys
and Girls clubs in the County number
4G0 members.
{ The two chief aims of the clubs are
20 foster a spirit Of self reliable in
the children and to keep them inter-
ested in farm subjects and in up-to-
date farm methods.
Stock judging is one of the subjects
which has been taken up by the clubs
throughout the country. The farm
Crs, who have fine livestock are In
vited to cooperate iwth the teacher in
the schools in instructing the children
in stock judging and visits are made
to inspect the various herds of live
stock throughout the school districts.
When there is a sale Of fine live stock
the children, who wish to attend are
credited with a full day Of school
work.
There has been some criticism that
this may tend to take the children's
minds from their school studies such
as geography and history. Results
have proved that this is a false i'm
preston The work Of the clubs is
linked with history and various other
subjects in such a manner that il
tends to make the child even more in.
terested in his work.
During the year, each school has
six programs which are planned BY
the students. The last program Is
a special occasion when the parents
and the parents and the friends o.
the schools are especially invited Il
attend.
Girls as well as boys are interested
in the stock judging and other worl
of the clubs and the number of prizes
taken in the county and State have
been divided equally between the boy
and girls.
One small school, in the county
Maplegrove School, has five ribbons
one state and four county.
Another thing that is being giver
special attention in the clubs is thu
use of good English. Prizes are giver
for local club yells and songs and thu
English in these is given careful at
tention.
Thrift, which is a new subject il
the curriculum of the country schools
is being taught in the schools of tn,
county and the youngsters r taking
great interest in saving. They ar,

CROWD
HEARS CONCERT
At ORPHEUM

Probably a number of people who
attended the recital given Thursday
night by Miss Amy Ellerman and
Miss Vera Barstow and Mr.. Calvin
Coke at the orpheum Theatre were at
first puzzled and disappointed when
they discovered a monograph cabinet
occupying the center of the stage.
They hardly were treasured when
Mr.. Coke appeared on the stage and
announced that Miss Ellerman had
been delayed and, rather than disap-
point the. audience, a Recreation
he called it-of Miss Ellerman would
be played on the photograph. Our
suspicious were confirmed, we were
to hear only a photograph. But, lit
tie did We dream what an amazing
photograph it was. Miss Ellerman's
golden notes, emanating from the
grille of the New Edison, scared over
the auditorium in all their beauty,
Suddenly we heard another voice, OF
rather the same voice, coming from
the rear Of the auditorium. Miss FL
herman had arrived and was singing
in unison with her To- Created self. She
continued singing while walking to.
ward the New Edison. The effect OF
two voices, of the same exquisite
quality, coming from two different
places, was indeed a new sensation
and brought all under its magic spell
Miss Ellerman reached the side of the
New Edison and during the remainder
of the song, paused from time to time
apparently at random, and permitted
her Reiterated performance to be
heard alone. This gave an opportun,
ity to compare one with the other, anG
it is no more than just to state thai
there was not the slightest shade Of
difference between Reiterated voice
and original voice.
In the urs of the evening similar
tests wer made by Miss Vera Bar
stow, Violiniist, and Mr.. Coke, Tenor
with the same miraculous results
There must have been a slight diff
ference in volume when the artist,
stopped singing or playing but it wa'
not noticeable for the tone which cam,
from the cabinet was round and lus
cious with all of the vibrant, pulsatinl
quality of that which came directl,
from Mr.. Coxes' throat and the instru
ment of Miss Barstow. 1t was onl!
by watching the singers lips of tn
violinist's bow that one could be sur,
when they sang or played and whel
thed did not.
This proof was convincing. If !
were not, another proof was offered
After Miss Ellerman had commence
to sing one number, the light wer
turned out ostensibly so that the aud
fence could not watch the singer
lips.
It did not seem difficult to deter
mine in the dark when the SINCE
sang and when she did not. TIL
writer was pretty sure about it him
self until the lights were turned o.
again and it was discovered that Mis-
Ellerman was not on the stage at al
and that the New Edison alone ha'
been heard.

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
While Stocks Fluctuate Under
Realizing Cotton Buying
Lifts Whole List.

IL was interesting yesterday to note
the sharp contrast between the stock and
the cotton markets. Realizing sales and
pressure on prices for the short account
caused stocks to fiuctuate with a great
deal of irregularity, the major tendency
being downward. In cotton. however, It
seemed as though the refusal OF quota
tions to give ground under moderate
amount of sales in the first hour per-
suaded traders that many unfavorable
factors had been discounted and there
was a strong buying movement before
the close. The January option was
lifted nearly so points. carrying It to
$50 points. or more than 50 n pale higher
than II was on Monday morning. while
the other future contracts advanced z
to 35 points. The significance Of last
weeks firm cotton tone In the face of 8
crop nearly if not quite fully 1000. 900
bales larger than was predicted In Octo-
Der is not clear as yet. Wall Street
leans to the belief that prices have held
UP because consumption abroad as well
as at home gives promise of expanding
during the winter and II this develops
1t will carry its own implication about
changing business conditions. The stock
market has not failed to observe what
has been going on In the cotton market.
Sugar stocks were pressed down and
there were sizable reactions in petro-
leum and other issues which had done
well during the earlier days Of the
point to 2 points. The lack of rela-
tionship between the several market de-
partments was disclosed in the fact that
while industrials were inclined lower

Western, Atchison and Reading. Steel
stocks were softer than they were on
