The "a" Embers Concert Monday
Night.

On the evening of December IL at
Durkee's hall the Embers Male Quar-
tet will appear as the first number
in the Barton Lyceum course of 1922
%. This famous quartet has had
several years of concert appearance
and their enviable list of successful
recital engagements makes it appar-
ent that the Lyceum committee was
not experimenting in any sense of
the word in selecting the Embers
Quartet for the course.
The secret of the success of The 81"
Embers lies in the fact that each
member is soloist of unusual ability.
Their voices were originally selected
because of the possibilities OF perfect
blending in ensemble work. Chester
Foster Rand, first tenor and company
manager, studied under some Sof the
country's most able and renowned in
structors. He has done extensive
quartet work during the past IL
years and is genius in program
building. G. Waldo Emerson, second
tenor and humorist, is a musician,
composer, and is also an authority on
arranging quartets. j. Ross Macken-
zie, baritone, was born in Scotland.
In his Scotch impersonations he
wears a genuine Mackenzie costume,
made by his great-grandfather in his
own mills. John w. Lince is well
known as a concert singer in England
as we'll as this country. He possesses
a splendid voice of remarkable range.
Alice Spencer Rand is the pianist and
accompanist. Her solo work is bril-
liant and of rare technique. The "a"
Embers is real quartet and will live
up to their motto, "All Aglow."
One who recently heard this con-
cert wrote to Barton as follows:
ct note that your first attraction
is the Embers Male Quartet, so please
listen to me, kind sir. This is the
finest male quartet program that |
have ever heard, and you boys will
be doing your townspeople favor by
seeing to it that the hall is filled to
capacity. I heard them in Needham,
Mass, the other night, and they are
a fine bunch of folks. Be sure to
have Mr.. Lince sing, "Asleep in the
Deep" His solo is worth the price of
the ticket"

BRAINIEST MAN IN LYCEUM
William FL. Stout to Discuss "Seeing
Life Whole"

William HI. Stout has been the re-
cipient of more bouquets from big
papers and big people than the aver
personal tributes which Mr.. Stout
who is to lecture on the evening of
Monday, December IL, Community
church, Glover, prizes very highly.
Colonel Balm, "The Grand Old Man
of the Lyceum," recently wrote the
following characteristic paragraph
about William III. Stout. "Will Stout
is the brainiest man in Lyceum. He
is better fitted for the United States
senate than any man in Indiana. True,
he may never get there, for he mixes
too much heart and conscience with
brains to win"
The foregoing is typical. 1t is in
teresting to note that IA out OF l6
of Mr.. Stout's first dates on his ly-
ceum tour last winter reported his
lecture with the very explicit word,
"Delighted.' The other two read,
every good" In his great theme,
"Seeing Life Whole" Mr.. Stout has
rlerfected a wonderful inspirational
lecture. He is an excellent speaker,
a man of tremendous force and con-
viction on the platform and at the
same time makes his points effective
in most pleasing manner.
Mr.. Stout is president of the Inter
national Lyceum and Chautauqua as
sociation. This great organization
holds an annual session at which
platform stars and Lyceum and Ghau-
tauqua talent all gather together
from every section of the United
States and Canada.
Don't fail to take advantage of this
opportunity to hear the noted lee
turer.

How 1 Learned to Like Sewing.

The Modern Priscilla club was or
ganiZed in November, 1921, but / did
not become member until the follow
ing February. So the other girls had
several articles already made. The
first article 1 made was a kimona
This was my very first experience in
cutting and putting together a gar
ment. Needless to say, l had much
difficulty in putting the different parts
together as they should go, but final
ly the garment was completed. This
fall when it was exhibited at the
county fair and the state fair it won
first prize. During the spring and
summer I did several other articles
connected with the club work. Then
/ took up the demonstration work in
the middle of the summer with the
rest of the girls and finally / was
chosen as one of the members of the
team to go to the county fair to
demonstrate on "The appropriate ap-
parel for the different occasions" !"
Our team won second honor. This ex-
perience was a great help to me, CIV
ing me more confidence to speak be-
fore a crowd of people as well as what
I learned in preparing the demon
stration.
The sewing club work has been
very great benefit to me in teaching
me to cut and make all kinds of
garments. AS I work out most of
the time, it is a saving to be able
to do my own sewing in my spare
moments and I can have more and
better garments, too.
All girls who do not know how to
sew should join girls club.

Seed Oat Variety Demonstrations
1922 Tests Completed.

The Oat Variety demonstrations
conducted by the Farm Bureau in two
communities the past season again
demonstrate the superior value of
good quality seed oats. Several
standard varieties of oats were used,
each of which yielded very high con-
sidering the unfavorable season.
College Wonder, the variety which
led in the 1921 tests again leads the
list when an average of the two dem
onstrations is taken. The Climax
variety, however, led in the only
plot in which it was entered and seems
to be high yielding variety but has
only been tried in one community
Swedish Select, a variety which has
stood well in the tests of the past two
years was second in one of this years
tests and fifth in the other. 1t gives
very satisfactory results, however, on
the many farms in the county on
which the Variety was used this past
season..
