CENTRAL SCHOOL PUPILS PLAY TO A PACKED HOUSE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) els’ unci*, which was a difficult one, was taken by Robert Scht.iliil.a. and he very ably imitated an old man.

Edward Musser and Randolph Brandyberry were the other twni members of tin- cast, they playing the, role of Timothy Haye, gardner nt 1 Happy Valley Junction. and .Silas; Slekelmorc. the constable ut Happy Valley, and they produced many laughs. Tlie play was coached by Jias Grace Coffee, an instructor in the Central school, and the results of her diligent work with the cast were much in evidence last night. Several entertaining specialties were given between acts by the seventh and eighth grade pupils. The eighth grade girls presented, "We’re Ready to Begin, So You’d Better L'sten In.” and “When Grandmother Dreams,” and the seventh and eighth grade boys presented, "Oh, Such Hor-■ rid Colds.” Marcia Martin sang, "I’ve ; Got the Mumps.” Instrumental music was furnished before the opening curtain and between acts by Signor Cafaro, instructor in the European School of Music, and his two daughters.

Corn Sugar Gaining Favor Cpm sugar, already established in much of the baking industry, is growing in favor among other consumers. Dr. Barnard declared. President Coolidge pointed the way by making it known that the White House is using a consignment of erfrn srferar from lowa. | One baking ostabl’shnieni consumed 30,000,001) pounds of corn sugar in 1925, he declared. The turning of corn into sugar by a recently discovered process, will solve the problem of worrying agriculturists, econornists rind politicians, he said, j ’■This new process will give us a real market for our surplus corn,” Dr. I Barnard asserted. "The sugar obtained from the corn, white not quite as sweet as caue sugar, is just as valuable from a nutritive standpoint, and has a better body for baking purposes, and the beauty of the new process Is that -every other bi-prodniet of corn may lie obtained and still Hie sugar may be extracted. As an instance of what 65,000,0:10 bushels of corn will make, it is possible to obtain the following products: 1,500,000,000 pounds of corn syrup. 800,000,000 pounds of corn starch. 125,000,000 pounds of sugar. 95,000,000 poundjs of corn oil. 450,000 tons of gluten feed and 45.-' 000. tons of corn oil cake. j "The industry can be built right 'here where the states of Irfwa, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, and the midwest are the center of the corn industry, j “That would enable the factories to' get the raw product at the lowest possible delivery price. Then for distribution, the sugar would go all over 'the country, but it would go at a domestic prite and not at a price which includes importation from other countries. ‘Much of the corn starch is used in the manufacturing plants of the mid-

die west. ! "The gluten feed would go direct to Wiscoir in nnd Minnesota, our dairy products e.mters. And it would enable the dairy farmer to get corn oil rake, one of the best cattle food:’, tn a cheaper prl<T.f’ "This would mean a saving to the farmer in the procuring of feed for bls’ stock and in the pricn of sugar." ( Man Beaten To Death i When Clothing Catches In Shaft Os Elevator ' Sharpsville, Ind, Jan. 7. (United! Press.) — Coroner Shields, of Tipton county today investigated the death 'of John Drake, killed when his clothing caught on an overhead shaft at the Sharpsville elevator.
