MILDRED WALLACE
DELIGHTS HER
AUDIENCE

After a year of study in New YORK
under the great coach, Frank La
Forge, Miss Mildred Wallace made
hcs debut here Tuesday evening as a
professional concert singer.
A large audience greeted her and
was most appreciative of the growth
and development of her voice and sing
ing and stage presence, which makes
for her a place among artists.
Her program was interesting from
first to last, as her diction is so clear,
her phrasing so. broad and graceful
that the thought and meaning Of each
song was perfectly understood without
effort,to the singer or the nearer.
Miss Wallace possesses a voice Of
lovely rich velvety quality. Her mezzo
voice and suave legato were especially
beautiful and appealing in the group
Of modern French songs which she
sang most effectively. In The Little
Sandman and the "Sapphic Ode" by
Brahms, she did her best singing and
held complete sway over her audience,
for which she was twice recalled and
sang Pirate Dreams, by. Huerta, for
the encore. The quick, vigorous aGia
il sole dad Gange,' by Scarlatti, and
the big, broad 20 Sleep Why Dost
Thou Leave Me-, by Handel, were
sung with fine feeling and finish.
The La Forge songs were decidedly
interesting and she sang delightfully."-
his ITO a Messenger" as an encore
after the last group.
Miss Shotwell's accomplishments
disclosed a fine deep tone and schol-
arly understanding of the art of play

The concert was an artistic success
in every way.

BRING
MORE MONEY
THAN CORN

The other day a farmer brought a
load of corn into a Mexico produce
dealer. For the load of corn which
was so large that it required four
horses to haul it he received a little
over ten dollars. AT the same time
the farmer sold a small can of cream
and a few dozen eggs to the same
dealer for over $14. The load of corn
represented the work of an entire sea-
son with high priced implements and
teams. The other produce represented
the income of a period of a few days
from a flock of hens and a COW which
had been fed with cheap corn. Al
dozen eggs at 44c lacked only a penny
of bringing as much as a bushel of
corn here this week. n
If you have a good sized turkey to
sell now, the chances are that the
amount will be paid for it will be
larger than if you had two large hogs
TO sell
According to local dealers the best
thing to do about turkeys is to forget
them for farms in this section of the
country are being cut up into smaller
farms each year which makes the
raising offturkeys impractical as the
birds require a large tract of land in
which to roam. Many Of the cattle
men Of Texas and Other southern and
western states are finding that rails
ing turkeys by the thousands is much
more practical than cattle raising and
are turning their attention to the in
dustry more all the time.
\ One local dealer said Tuesday MORN
day morning that this year he would
probably handle 125 turkeys for the
Christmas season as compared to 480
last year and that there was not a
large flock of turkeys now in Audrain
County. The demand for Christmas
turkeys will be met however. Dealers
say that although turkeys were scarce
Thanksgiving, the demand here was
more than met as some dealers even
had turkeys left on their hands.
