Reviews White Editorials
For Club Section

Forty Years on Main Street, a
group of editorials written by Will
liam Allen White and compiled by
Russell IEitzgibbons was chosen by
Mrs. Lee Nuffer for her program for
the Twice Told Tales section of the
Ten Thousand club at its meeting
Monday afternoon with Mrs. E. j.
Mack on West Main street.
Mrs. Nuffer chose from the COL
lection the first editorial written by
the Kansas newspaperman for his
famous Emporia Gazette, this edito-
rial stating his belief in the mission
of a country newspaper. The MARY
White" editorial, the moving one
written upon the death of his be-
loved daughter; three from the ma
tional scene on Hoover, Harding,
and Hauptman: the well known
"What's the Matter With Kansas,
one on Envy, and the humorous
one on Cocoa Cola" were included
in her apt review.
Two new members were welcomed,
Mrs. Warren E. Sage and Mrs. R.
w. Ware.
Mrs. Mack served tea to her
guests, the table being centered with
low circle of chrysanthemums,
lighted with tall candles. Mrs. Du-

"If it were the only concert of the
year. that given Monday night by
Richard Bonelli would be well
worth the cost of the entire series
This, in short, was the enthus-
iastic verdict of the capacity aud
ience which greeted the famous
baritone Monday night in the high
school auditorium for the opening
concert in this years series spon-
sored by the Imperial Valley Music
teachers association.
There was no doubt but what
Bonelli scored tremendous sue
cess, the repeated demand for en-
cores proving this fact beyond
question. Sharing honors with him
was his accompanist James Sho-
mate who was heard in a group of
piano solos.
Not or.y does Bonelli possess a
voice of unusual beauty and purity
but he uses it with superb artistry
and a sensitive intelligence which
make his performance a keen de-
light to his audience.
Scores Triumph
Possibly the high point in his
concert Monday was that magnifi-
cent aria, "Vision Fugitive Hero
diade' CMassenet, in which, for
tonal quality and sheer beauty, his
performance could hardly be SUR
passed. Without question operate
work is his meter although, so ex-
cellent is his singing, and so versa
tile his art, that it is hard to single
out any one phase as exceptional
When he wrote that he believed
his program Monday night was one
of the finest he has ever sung, he
was quite right in his opinion, for
he presented splendidly arranged
program we'll suited to the tastes
of the audience as well as to the
wide range of his powers. In addi-
tion he acceded to the request sent
him for familiar numbers and re-
sponded to encores with two well
known and beloved arias. "The Eve
ming Star" from Tannhauser and
the love song from die Valkyrie'
(Wagner) the latter being written
for a tenor rather than a baritone
but illustrating we'll the wide range
of his voice.
Favorite Numbers
Each number was performed with
that perfection of taste which char
acterizeS Bonelli, but the arias,
the Debussy "Mandoline", in fact
the whole group of French and
English songs including the tragic
women of Inver" Goughborrow)
'In The yellow Dusk" (Herman)
and LES Berceaux" (Faure) were
perhaps the favorites. The Ger
man songs and the last group of
English songs were lovely also and
Bonelli was called back again and
again for encores, acceding most
generously to this demand. One
of the most interesting of the en-
core numbers was the song "The
Gifts" with music by Alec Temple

DinnerPrecedes
BoneIIi Concert

One of the most unusual and at
tractive of table appointments was
used Tuesday night by Mrs. Julia
Bracket when she entertained a
group of friends at dinner at the
Barbara Worth hotel prior to the
Bonelli concert at the high school.
With the approaching Thanksgiv-
ing holiday as the theme, Mrs.
Bracket employed colorful fruits
and vegetables in decidedly dec
orative manner, the centerpiece be-
ing of fruit, while bright colored
vegetables such as scarlet tomatoes,
green peppers, made effective hold
ers for the place cards. White can
dies were placed in white cauliflo-
wer holders, decked with green par
sley, the whole making a really
lovely table appointment.

The Better Way to
Correct Constipation

One way to treat constipation IS
to endure it first and cure it
afterward. The other way is to
auoid hauing it by getting at its
cause. So why not save yourself
those dull headachy days, plus
the inevitable trips to the medi-
cine chest, if you can do it by a
simple common-sense "ounce Of
prevention?
If your trouble, like that of
millions, is due to lack of bulk"
in the diet, "the better way" is to
eat Kellogg's All-Bran. This
crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat
cereal has just the bulk" you
need. If you eat it every day-and
drink plenty of water-you can
not only get regular but Keep
regular, day after day and month

by Kellogg's in Battle Creek. Sold

$10,0OO,0OO Benefit
Possible for Japan
In Cotton Subsidy
Termination Will Depend
Upon Developments
Before January
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
This Government new policy OF
subsidizing cotton exports may be
q boon to Japan to the extent of
100000 to $4,000, 900, officials Of
the Agriculture Department said
yesterday.
They explained that, although the
State Department had given notice
of its intention to abrogate the 1911
commercial treaty between the
United States and Japan, that pact
would continue in effect for six
months and make it impossible to
deny Japan the export subsidy bene-
fits granted other nations.
Termination Undecided.
Whether such benefits would be
taken from the Japanese after ter
mination of the treaty next January
would depend, the officials said, upon
developments between now and
then.
The State Department has taken
the position that negotiation of a
new commercial treaty likewise de-
pended upon developments, indicat-
ing tnat Japan must show increased
regard for American rights in China
II she wanted a new pact.
Under the export subsidy policy,
designed to increase foreign pur-
chases of surplus American cotton,
buyers abroad will be able to pur-
chase the raw fiber at prices about
$3.50 a bale below domestic quota
tions, the American Government
paying the difference.
Big Buyer of Cotton.
For many years Japan has been
one Of the major buyers of American
cotton. Her purchases during the
past II months totaled 845, ,523 bales,
or more than twice the purchases of
either the United Kingdom or
France. However, ordinarily Brit
ain is the number / foreign buyer.
Anticipating Inauguration of the
American export program, Japan, as
well as most other foreign users of
American cotton, have been reducing
their old stocks and planning to re-
plenish supplies at the reduced prices
offered under the subsidy program.
which went into effect Thursday.
