The third night was a big con-
trast to the overwhelming mirth-
full Minstel Show--being orches-
ira music Of a quiet and toneful
order with q lecture by Rev. S.
d. Rodholm. His subject was:
'Ye Good Old Days in old New
England"
The only musical number by
the orchestra that evening of a
forceful and sort Of militaristic
air was the opening number
"Tannhauser March by Richard
Wagner--which appeared to be
well received.
The two piano solos Sonata
Pathetique" by Beethoven and
"Impromptu" by Shubert--were
rendered with a rare technical
ability and artistic touch by Miss
Helen Hansen. The latter piece
is especially pretty and with q
happy air. Miss Hansen respond
ed to an encore.
Rev. Rodholm who has spent q
half dozen years or more down
East spoke with personal know
ledge of modern conditions there
but his address was largely about
the Puritan days-their schools
and religious training. The
speaker dwelt at some length on
the sternness of the early set
tiers of New England. their
mode of living and their faith in
Christianity. While Rev. Rod
holm's lecture was good and in
structive and also interesting it
was perhaps a little long-the
time used being an hour and
twenty minutes.
The orchestra played but two
of the four scheduled numbers
after the address on account Of
the lateness Of the hour ending
the evenings entertainment with
America" IAN overture on ma
tional airs.
"Little Women"
The big number was saved for
the last evening and there was
surely no disappointment in the
expectations of the crowd.
Little Women" is a good
wholesome play and it can safe
ly be said without fear Of contra
diction that it is the best acted
home talent play ever presented
in Askov. Much credit is due
Louis Olsen for his untiring ef-
forts in working with the young
folks in presenting the play in
such an able and efficient man.
ner. In this connection v. s.
Petersen also shares credit with
Louis Olsen in its success as he
labored diligently back of the
curtains together with Mr.. o.
sen.
The acting by Miss Edith Ora
vesen as 10 and Miss Ingrid Fen
ger as Aunt March was without
flattery of a professional order.
1t was simply great for local
amateurs. Fylla s. Petersen as
the charming little Amy was al
so brilliant and Miss Anna Laur.
sen as the Irish maid acted the
character very good. And so OF
down the line, but time ane
space will not permit of more de
tailed report. Suffice to say
there was not a weak spot in the
entire cast of twelve.
| The orchestra furnished music
between acts and was greatly
strengthened last evening by the
addition of F. o. Lund. the Ia
Tented young violinist who just
came to Askov yesterday.
The play will be presented
again tomorrow Friday.

The band finished the evenings

perhaps the prettiest and most
appreciated. The band boys were
all dressed up with the regula-

The Minstrel Show went over

jokes as they came fast and fur

No little credit is due A. M.

and also his originality in writing
several of the sketches.

Thorvald Jensen as the chief

laugh producers. Bill and Carl

ensen did well in reciting a little
pathetic piece about his pet dog.
Daniel, and his singing was also
well received.
Christian Hansen with his good
Negro dialect brought down the
house" with his singing and ora
ton. As speaker of much ex-
perience he had prepared well
for any onslaughts by bringing
along some eggs that were well
nursed by a chicken for several
weeks. These were laid on the
stand in front of him that he
might combat any movement
started.
In some manner the name o.

programs. Without him the Min
strel Show would not have beer

jazz music going in great style

National Swine Show
Planned for Next Week

PEORIA, Ill.-With hog men OF
America now making final arrange
ments for transporting the aristoc
racy of their herds to the National
Swine Show to be held here Septem.
Der 20 to October 4, indications are
that the size and quality Of the an
nual event will even surpass the rec
ord set last year.
Depew Head of Marion, Ohio, presi.
den of the National Swine Growers
Association and a director Of the Ma
tional Live Stock and Meat Board,
predicts a banner show. Mr.. Head
also takes occasion to call to mini
the record production of hogs and
consumption of pork during 1923 and
a portion of 1924.
Meat consumption as a whole is on
the increase" ne says, but 1t is sig
nificant to note that about 80 per
cent Of the huge gain in 1928 was in
pork products. Per capita consump-
ton figures thus far for 1924 show
even greater use of pork than the
previous year"
Premiums in the open classes Of
the coming exhibit total $4,000. The
management expresses qualification
that it has been able to secure judges
of national reputation for this com

Feminists have thought of some
thing new for husbands to worry
about, writes Ruth Finney.
The idea Is that men, as we'll as
women, shall change their names at
marriage.
The Lucy Stone League hasn't
proved to be an unqualified success.
The notion Of keeping the maiden
name in all circumstances after mar
riage, to retain individuality, was a
little too extreme for most women. 1t
was embarrassing, to say the least,
to go to a hotel with ones husband
and register John Brown and Mary
Smith," Necessity therefore has CIV
on birth to a new scheme in the East
which, the women say, triumphantly
asserts the doctrine Of equality for
men and women and does 1t efficient
ly and in way to please the most
conventional.
Say that John Brown marries Mary
Smith. On the day of their marriage
Johns legal name becomes John
Smith-Brown. Mary's name is Mary
Smith-Brown.
The children of John and Mary
Smith-Brown are Anne Smith Brown
and James Smith Brown, without the
hyphen, or Anne Brown and James
Brown, with the Smith optionally but
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1924-09-26

conventionally used as the middle
name. This leaves each person free
to hyphenate his name at marriage
without acquiring cognomen as
cumbersome as the dinosaur.
To answer the howl of protest that
comes from the men whenever the
idea Is expounded, woman equality
advocates point out:
That man suffers no greater incon.
venience from changing his name at
marriage than women have always
suffered.
That the bushes woman who mar.
ries is forced to change her signature
to checks and notify her business as
sociates Of the change, and that men
can easily do likewise, and should do
SO In fairness.
That the new plan solves an lmpor
tant social problem by making 1t cas-.
lily apparent from the name whether

ried. Men have demanded that WON
en- prefix Miss or Mrs. to their names
and indicate their status. Women
have had no such index to men. The
Smith-Brown idea, by leaving names
unhyphenated until marriage, and
then making only the double name
legal, Immediately classifies it's pos

Good Business Conditions

Life insurance companies, repre-

life insurance business of the United
States, reported an increase in policy
loans and premium notes of $55,869

siderable extent, than the increase OF
about $6O,OOO,0O0 in the preceding
year. This reduced relative borrow

HOW TO MAKE A LAMP SHADE

The library table lamp is second
only to the books In ones library
The light must be subdued by
means Of the proper shade. and at
the same time, beauty must not be
entirely sacrificed to utility.
A library lamp that supplies the
requisites of both service and
beauty is easily made at home of silk
and a wire frame. A wide, round,
hat-box-like frame is wound with mar
row ribbon secured at the end by
liquid glue. The frame is then COW
cred with plated silk, and around the
bottom are glued strips Of novelty and
scalloped ribbon. Four or six designs
cut out Of cretonne, are fastened to
the silk with glue. A tassel of seal
loped ribbon Is glued to the center
Of the shade and allowed to hang
down over the side. Yellow is good
color to use In the library, as 1t Is
sole and restful, and at the same time,
very attractive. A light green or
subdued shade of rose would also be
suited to the room Of books.
Yellow, green or rose are always
safe colors for library use as they
soften the somber tone of library fur
niture.
Following the same process, other
lovely shades, appropriate for bou-
doir, livingroom, den and hall may be
made. Frames of all types are easily
purchased, and there remains only
the correct and tasteful choice Of col.
ors and materials and the necessary
tube OF glue. These shades may be as
plain or as elaborate as their various
uses permit. The pretty lamp shade
is the touch that imparts atmosphere
