SELL LADYSMITH
CLOVERBELT BUTTER

Our local creamery had some signs
printed some time ago to put up Ill
the stores that sold their butter.
The hayseed editor was down to the
creamery Saturday and saw some OF
the signs. and as we had not noticed
any in the local stores we got dozen
of them and tackled them up III all the
stores that sell the "Cloverbelt but
ter
Monday we went to the creamery
and cot an order for 100 new placardS
and they will be put up i'll the stores
not only to tell that the butter is sold
there but the fact is brought out that
one pound of cloverbelt butter is worth
several pounds of any butter substi-
tute.
These signs are being backed up by
paid advertisements in this paper and
by local items on the subject run by
us aS news matter.
We asked the merchants to tear
down their oleO signs and put up one
reading we don't sell OleOmargarine
here" but on talking it over we decld-
ed to put on an educational campaign
instead and show facts and figures TO
prove that butter or any other dairy
COW products are selling for less per
food unit than any substitute.
Good butter. such as our clOverbelt
brand. costs more than other butter
or butter substitutes. Ladysmith

FLOUR is CHEAP;
FREIGHT is HIGH

Flour is selling under $500 per bar
rel in Minneapolis for the first time i'll
seven years.
One mans meat is another man
poison. and if the freight rates didn
take most of the meat the dairy farm
er today would be in clover. while the
grain farmer is in distress.
Clifford ThOrne was right when he
said that the excess should have been
added to the freight instead of being
guaranteed. as then the freight would
have had to move to pay' the bill

AN IDEAL COUNTY

Rusk county weather this spring has
been ideal when compared to the re
cent cyclones Of Texas and other south

Ironing Hints

Iron all laces and embroidery on the
wrong side after placing on n thick
blanket.
If it is necessary to iron silk on the
right side, in order to avoid the shiny
place the iron will leave, place a sheet
Of tissue paper over the silk and press
with not too hot an iron.
Chiffon velvet may be ironed just
like cloth, but the iron must follow the
direction of the nap.
Wien ironing wool or serge which has
been dampened, place a dry linen cloth
between the wool and tho iron to alb
sorb the moisture, SO only the steam
strikes the wool.

You've often seen the handwriting

exert just enough pressure to make q

but not exceptionally so.
Now what can you tell about the
characters of such people-asidc from
the clues which they may give you ir
the expression OF their thoughts?
First of all, you may safely take il
that they are people of quiet and mod

Such people have a complaisancc ant

To Clean Brass

Brass is n combination Of two metals,
copper and zinc. The best polish, but
the hardest to obtain, is obtained by
long rubbing with a mixture Of rotten
stone and linseed oil. This type of
polish is soft and does not tarnish
readily. but 1t is hard work to obtain.
A quicker polish and brighter one can
be obtained with the metal polishes.

ORCHESTRA ENSEMBLE IN
CHAMBER MUSIC PROGRAM
Second Meeting Of the Organization n
Attracts an Immense Audience


The second meeting of the Chamber
Music Association Mt the Bellevue
Stratford yesterday afternoon attracted
another record attendance, in spite OF
the bad weather, and those who came
we're we'll repaid by hearing a very at
tractive program rendered by the mem
bsrs Of the Philadelphia Orchestra en-
semble. The concert opened with O
suite for oboe, clarinet, horn and bas-
soon. by josef Holbrooke, a contem
poraneous British composer. with q
strong tasto for the sensational and
grotesque, and with little regard for
Huphony and none for form. Messrs
Tabuteau. Bonadc, Anton Horncr and
Krueger played the difficult work ad
lnirably, with respect both to tone and
ensemble.
The second number was the quintet OF
Dvorak for string quartet, with contra
bass added. 1t is one of the most char
acteristic and beautiful of the chamber
works of Dvorak, with the exception
Of the last movement, which, compared
to the three previous ones, is trivial and
hastily written. A judicious 'cut'
added to the effectiveness of this move
ment The quintet was splendidly per-
formed by Thaddeus Rich. David Du-
binsky, Romain Verney, Michel Penha
bass playing Of the later making that
usually intrusive instrument (in cham
bcr music) blend perfectly with the
other strings.
The trio, by Eugene Goossens, for
piano, flute and cello, played by Ellis
Clark Hammann, w. NJ. Kincaid and
Michel Penha. showed a relatively rare
form Of chamber music. Tho music is
written to program, being entitled
Impression Of a Holiday" and is in
FIVE short movements. The limited tonal
resources of chamber music are not well
adapted to program music, and Mr..
Goossens has succeeded in his effort no
better than some other and more emf
nent musicians, who have tried tho same
experiment.. The movement, ''the
Water Wheel" was the most effective
and the best received by the audience.
Mr.. Hammapn made the most of an
almost impossible piano part, and
showed again that as chamber music
pianist he has few rivals in Philadel- =
phla. The tOnal treatment of the work

very high.
The last number was an exceedingly
clever arrangement OF three movements
Of Dcbussy's "Children's Corner" for
the string quintet and the wood wind
quintet, all the members of the ensem- =
BILE taking part in it. and, giving n
performance of the highest merit. The
arrangement was made by Lucicn Gail
let, second clarinet of the Philadelphia
Orchestra, and by it Mr.. Caillet
showed himself to be musician OF
extraordinary ability. Not only is there
keen feeling for the values Of all the
Instruments, both in solo voices and in
combination. but also an equally COM
plete understanding Of the Dcbussy
spirit, both of which are essential ia
such a mastery arrangement as Mr..
Caillct has made.

will do with them the college girl

large universities are upon them.
They were gathered by Professor

That they We're willed to Miss

who had acted as his nurse at a

Prior to the death Of Mrs. St.

the kindly young nurse, Of this
pact Miss Brown had no idea until
