The st. Olaf choir Of Mortified.
MINI, which appears at the Aug
ustana gymnasium Friday evening,
Feb ., under the auspices OF tho
Syea Male chorus, has been herald
ed from far and near, the greatest
singing organization in America to-
day. II Ia now on it's third tour

Gently appeared in Chicago at Or
chestra hall and scored such a de-
cfded hit. that already negotiations
are being completed for q return
engagement
The director Of this choir, r. Mel
nus Christiansen. to whom a great
deal OF credit must be given for
his wonderful achievement in train
ing these "a choristers, is today
considered the peer Of all choir
conductors in America.
All doubts az to the musical abii-
ity OF this choir were recently dis
PEELED, when IL sang in st. Louie
and carried the house by such a
storm that their work was herald
ed and recognized as being su-
preme to that of tho Great Har-
ward Glee club, which had appeared
in st. Louis previous to their en-
gagement Measured by their past

cubic feet Of gas, sz.44 for !. 900 ana
1888 for 1000 cubic feet.
Before the war, Mr.. Macdonald
said, his company had been selling
gas at II . ], 600 cubic feet. hut aft
er making some good business con-
tracts the company was able volun-
tarfiy to lower it's rates to IS cents.
Later prices climbed and the COM
pany returned to its 81 rate. War
time prices then forced a petition
for q higher rate and the state com
mission allowed $3.50. Mr.. Mac
Donald declares fhat this rate was
given on tho commissions assumu-
ton that the company;s business
would increase 10 per cent in 1921.
However, he declared that in
stead OF an increase in business.
the business depression caused a
decrease OF Is per cent, or rs per
cent less business than was esti-
mated by the commission.
Because the Chicago companv's
business is so times as great as the
local company's, and 1t enjoyed an
immediate war time rate with no
falling on IN business in addition
to which ft claims right to a S12.-
100000 recoupmenf from war loss
es, Mr.. Macdonald says close study
is being made OF the Chicago situa-
ton.
