direction of Prof. Beausang gave a
fine rendition Of The Rose Maiden. !"

Fromida Young, student at the col

and the baritone solos by Prof. Beau
sang. All we're very well rendered.
The chorus work showed careful
training and reflected great credit up
on the director. The chapel was well

TruebIOOd GiUeS
Fine Interpretation

Last Friday evening, Professor
Trueblood, who is head of the depart
ment of Public Speaking in the Uni
vcrsity of Michigan, gave a very fine
reading and Interpretation of the
play, "Ingomar the Barbarian" before
a large and enthusiastic audience.
This entertainment was given under
the auspices of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood and was much enjoyed
by all who were fortunate enough to
hear it. Professor Trueblood came to
Alma as one of the speakers on the
University Extension course, and
while he had never before appeared
before an Alma audience, hswas well
known through his work at the Uni
vcrsty to many of the people present.
The presentation speech was made
by Prof. Hamilton Of Alma College, a
former pupil of Prof. Trueblood. In
replying to this Introductory speech,
Prof. Trueblood brought the greetings
of the University to Alma College and
spoke Of the many students from
Alma College who have taken gradu-
ate work and degrees from the u. Of
NJ
After a few preliminary remarks in
which he spoke of the play "Ingomar
the Barbarian" as one of the strong
est in his judgment outside the Shake
spcrian plays, Prof. Trueblood intro
duced the principal characters of the
play and especially commented upon
the great strength and courage of the
principal female character, Parthena,
comparing her in this regard to some
of the famous Shakesporian female
characters.
The play itself, the scene of which
is laid in Massilia, in the south of
France, during the invasion Of the
Alcmani, is strongly written and dis
plays to advantage the moral courage
and strength of character of Par
thenia, as we'll as portraying wildly
the historical setting of the time. In
gomar the Barbarian is chief of the
Alemani. Parthenias father, an old
armourer, is taken by this savage
tribe. and carried away to the noun
talnS anu nelu lot TdUSOIl. IdIIneHld,
unable to raise the ransom, goes to
the mountains and offers herself as a
ransom for her father. The ransom
is accepted and the remainder Of the
play centers around the two charac-
ters. Ingomar and Parthenia. lingo
mar, interested in the girl, but count
ing all women as slaves, finally falls
deeply in love with her, without com.
pretending what love means. This
lesson he is finally taught, however
through the cleverness and mora
courage of Parthenia, and he finally
leaves his followers and his mountains
to go with Parthenia to Massilia.
The Interpretation of the variou:
characters Of this play given by Prof
Trueblood was very fine and realistic
and the whole entertainment was
much enjoyed by all present.

Farm Leaders Say
"WOrSt is OUer.

That agriculture has passed the
worst stage Of its depression and that
gradual improvement will be noted
during the coming season was the
prediction made by two of Americas
leading authorities on agricultural
economics in messages delivered last
week before the guests at the Michi
gan Agricultural College Farmers
Week.
"In common with other farmers,
you in Michigan have suffered severe
ly because of the relatively low prices
of your crops and livestock during
the past year." said II. c. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture. 1--WE can
not reasonably expect the immediate
return Of highly prosperous con-
ditions, but | believe that the worst is
over and that from now there will be
gradual improvement. Ninete n
twenty-five should be a better year
for farmers than was nineteen twen-
ty-one.
David Friday, President-elect Of NJ
-. ~, oildJ n X iNNlbIit mao Pe''HNN
the worst of this depression. Next
seasons prices of farm products and
prices Of things the farmer buys will
be more nearly balanced"
Both Friday and Wallace were pre-
vented by important business at
Washington from being present at the
conference, but both wired messages
to be read before the assembled farm
ers.
Attendance figures for the week
again ran above 5000, practically
equalling the record-breaking total Of
1921. Stormy weather on Thursday
and Friday kept many away from
East Lansing late in the week, but
the crowd came in early and grew
to unexpected proportions.

REECE RESIGNS
As AN OFFICER
Of THE c. OF C..
OF SECRETARY
MANAGER ACCEPTED BY
DIRECTORS.
Leaves In The
Near Future

Members Of the Alma Chamber OF
Commerce were given surprise
Wednesday afternoon when it be-
came known that II. +. Reece, Sec
retary- manager Of the organization
since its inception a year ago, and
who has aided greatly in guiding
the organization through its hard
organization year, made still harder
because of a period of depression,
had rendered his resignation to the
board of directors, who accepted it
TO become effective after the an
nual meeting and at time when
successor is selected.
Mr.. Reece urged that the resig-
nation be accepted by the board as
he has other plans for the year TO
come and desires to clean up his
connections here as rapidly as pos
sible, so as to be free in the near
future to allow the development of
the plans that he has for himself.
After the resignation was placed
before the board, Mr.. Bahlke offered
the following resolution, which was
supported by H S. Babcock. 1t was
unanimously approved by the di-
directors.
Whereas H. +. Reece has rendered
his resignation as secretary and
general manager of our Chamber
Of Commerce; and
Whereas this resignation is made
voluntarily on the part Of Mr..
Reece and is insisted upon by him
for reasons of his own;
Therefore, be it resolved that the
same be accepted.
Resolved further in this action on
the part of the board it expresses
its confidence in the honesty, integ-
rity and efficiency of Mr.. Reece as
our secretary and general manager
during his connection with us and
the regret we feel in his resigna-
ton which makes this action neces-
sary"
Mr.. Reece will probably resign in
the near future as the captain Of
Troop c 106th Cavalry Michigan
NATIONAL Guard, but it is not ex-
pected that this action will come be-
fore he definitely leaves his place
with the Chamber of Commerce or
before the annual inspection Of the
National Guard Troop which will
come in the near future.
