ZOELLNORS PLEASE EARLHAM AUDIENCE

By CHARLES K. ROBINSON. Arppa."ing before a fair sized audience the Zoellnor .stringed quartet f,ave one of the most pleasing musical programs that has been presented at the college for some time, Tuesday evening in the Earlham chapel. The Zoellnor concert was the third of the iroup of attractions known as the I'arlhavn college artists course, arranged by Piofessor Samuel S. Carton, I'cad'of the music department, which

has proved very successful at the col-1 If-gp this J-oar. j The approval of the listeners at j Tuesday evening's concert was shown by the spontaneous applause which followed the efforts of the arti&ts. To even the most unversed in musical j lore it was evident that the technique! if the .Zoellnors was practically per-1 ffct and that they were masters of j

their art. Perfectly at, home on the bt age theyT rendered, their' selections

TMr,pnly ; criticism 'that ,rnight be offered of the concert was that little variety was given in the selection of the numbers. The scope or a stringed cuartet is necessarily somewhat limited and must be confined to the bost adapted music. One variation which ihe arUsts made in their program last night, was the s-erond number in which Joseph Zoellnor, Jr., went to the piano anri Antoinette and Amandus Zoellnor took the violin parts. The first number on the program was a ouartet in four movements from Mendelsohn and wa.s admirably remit rrd. This was followed by the six (iiiets from.jGodard, played by he two violins and the piano. The third numtior teiTitfi "Jour de Fete" was especially well liked and the artists were forced to encore. "The Humming Utrd" (original work for the quartet) also scored a decided hit.

Mr. Bryant points out that another period of unseasonable weather has just passed with temperature far aove normal, but that figures for this last period show about the normal amount of precipitation. "Under these conditions," Mr. Bryant says, "much spring plowing and some seeding has been done." Hessian Fly Menace The report in part follows: "Some maple sugar camps are still in operation. Much more seed corn has been tested this year than usual, notwithstanding the good crop produced last year. Not much old corn going to market, because of poor condition of roads and prevailing low prices. Hessian fly seems to be the greatest men

ace to the wheat crop. It is prevalent in nearly all sections of the state." ' Mr. Bryant reports that some oats seeding has beeu done and the work will become general within a few days if weather conditions remain favorable. The acreage probably will be less than last year, according to Mr. Bryant. Pastures Excellent "The condition of rye is practically the same as wheat, except that no fly damage has been reported.

Some time ago at our house we took a little time off and opened up two trunks that had been standing back in the old clothes closet for more than two years. There was an old dress hat one of the real foxy kind that cost $25 when it was new. It had not been worn for five years and it was 30 per cent too small for the bread winner's head.

What did we do? Did we make a football of ihe hat or let the kids play with it? Not on your life! Into The Palladium the next evening went a small classified ad, and the next day when the bread winner got home his wife was laughingly waving a $5 bill that she had gotten that afternoon for t he hat.

Read the want ad columns of The Palladium and then prepare a small advertisement and phone it in to The Palladium. Just ask for our special want ad taker (phone 2834). The cost is small. -
