However, due to stormy weather the
attendance from Chesterhill and
Pennsyille was small. But all pres
ent had an enjoyable evening, with
games, refreshments, etc.
Every year we find missing hills
of corn in our corn fields, and we
wonder what has caused the missing
hills. Also we find hills with only
one stalk 20 a hill There is always
a reason for poor stand Of corn,
and there may be several reasons,
but the most probable reason is that
the corn did not germinate. The
best way to find out whether our
corn will germinate is to have it
tested, and there are several good
reasons for doing so, as follows:
| /. Appearances are often deceiv-
ing. Fine looking ears do not al
ways germinate.
Q. The termination test is the
only sure way of learning whether
or not corn will germinate.
8. A large yield of corn can be
obtained only from a perfect stand.
4. Only fifteen ears are required
to plant an acre.
Many farmers are busy at this
time of the. year and do not have
time to test their corn. The agri
cultural department of their. local
high school at Stockport is prepared
and willing to do this for them, If
they will only leave their corn at
the school building.

When Windows "SlDeat"

The sweating of windows is due to
imperfect ventilation, and If perfect
ventilation could be obtained it would
probably give the most effective re-
suits. In many eases openings are
made in the sash, top and bottom, so
that a current of cold air may cover
the interior side of the glass. In some
instances, where the sweating Of win
dows is not 30 bad, So grams of glyc-
erin is dissolved in liter of alcohol
(G3 per cent?. to which little amber
oil is added As soon as it Is thor
oughly mixed, it may be rubbed on the
inside surface of the window with
chamois or linen rag. A thin coat Of
pure gycerin applied TO both sides Of
the glass will prevent moisture.

Smiths Chapel for the past two
weeks, closed Sunday night. Rev.
Gale of Stockport assisted Rev.
Clark. There were II additions to
the church. We believe Mr.. Gale is
a man of God and for his work. We
think if more ministers of the Cos
pei preached from the Bible as does
Mr.. Gale and not so much modern
ism, that the condition of the
churches would not be as it is
today.

Makes Pumping Up
Tires Unnecessary

Chicago, IlL--F. E. Hughes, Suite 40,
2512 Monroe. this city, has perfected
a new air-tight valve cap that enables
auto owners to pump up their tires
once and never touch them again until
punctured or worn out. Leading tire
manufacturers, after thorough tests,
have approved Mr.. Hughes invention
and banished the old theory that air
escapes thru rubber. One imitation lasts
the life of tire, and tire mileage is
doubled. These caps retail for $l.2s
for set of FIVE. The inventor wants
agents and will send proof and samples

BUILDING

If you pine for the romance of the
"old days." don't fail to hear Glen
Ellison, baritone, and Alta Hill, plan
ist, on February % at High School
Auditorium One song win be enough
to bring up picture of the wild ad-
ventures of the fierce b,ack-haired
Duneans, or the gentler pursuits of
the sandy MacGregors. For there is
a true Scotch burr on Glen Ellison's
tongue that will make even a good
American song smell OF heather.
Few artists before the musical
world today can interpret the Scotch
songs with real understanding of the
emotional intensity underneath the
Scotch reserve. Glen Ellison is one
of the few.
They were romantic lot, those
Scotchmen, even If they would have
you think otherwise. And nobody
knows that better than Mr.. Ellison.
His clear sweet baritone is admirably
suited to the pure melody of those
beautiful old songs. He sings them
with a deep and tender sympathy that
brings out all the poignant sweetness
that is indigenous to them. He has
wealth of splendid feeling at his
command, and shows to best ad-
vantage in these romantic times. =
February 25th will give Mr.. Eli
sons devotees a chance to hear him.
He is in finer voice than ever and the
concert promises to be big event.

CHOIR SINGER NOW
PRIMA DONNA OF
FIRST RANK
By Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-
Marion Talley, once a choir
singer in Kansas City, Mo-, to-
day, at 19, stands acclaimed
Americas newest and youngest
prima donna OF the first rank.
Last night she swept to
brilliant triumph in her debut
at the Metropolitan Opera
House as 5000 persons outside
stOrmed the doors and a capacity
house OF more than 1000 gave
her an ovation rivaling those
accorded EnricO Caruso.
Twenty times the young
soprano was called TO the cur
tain when the opera was finish
ed The aria "Caro Nome" the
high spot in her performance as
Gilda in Verdi's ''Rigoletto,"
brought nine calls
Though New York took the
shy singer to its heart, with en-
thusiasm, none was happier than
Miss Talley's parents and 200
friends and relatives who came
from Kansas City to see her
triumph.
The young singer herself was
least demonstrative of all.
''I'm awfully happy that / have
pleased these wonderfully kind
and friendly people," she said.
While those within the huge
auditorium were hearing her
first notes mature and full,
mounted police were riding,
four abreast, along the side
walks to clear them of the
crowd.
With every available seat sold
days ago, belated would be
patrons offered spectators as
high as 500 seat. Eight men
were arrested as ticket scalpers. .
Across little corridor from
the stage, Charles Talley, a tele-
graph operator for the Missouri
Pacific Railroad and once an
operator for : the Associated
Press, licked out on a wire in
stalled by the Associated Press
that the dreams of the family
had come true.
Asked if his daughter had in
herited her voice from him, MIR.
Talley remarked: 81 guess it's
from Heaven.
Otto H. Kahn, chairman of
the board of directors of the
Metropolitan Opera Company,
congratrlatad- AG:--m-n-v---A
expressed his faith in her fu-
ture.
Mayor /. Beach, of Kansas
City, failed to share Miss Tai
ley's calm. 1--WE had an awful
ly happy though rather nervous
evening"" he said.
Moestro Avitable, Marion's
first Metropolitan coach, smiled
and said, 81 am satisfied" 1.-THE
American nightingale" was what
Arturo Bodanza the conductor,
called her. He predicted that
she would become as popular as
Patti.
Newspaper critics were gen.
erous.
With her debut safely behind
her, Miss Talley today began
preparations for her second ap-
pearance as Lucia, at a
Washington's birthday matinee.
By selling out the house for two
operas before Broadway had
heard her voice, Miss Talley has
set a record.
Tomorrow night she makes
her radio debut, singing with
Martinelli, Metropolitan tenor,
from WIZ land allied stations
at p. m.
