Stage* setting* and appropriate costuming are used, to advantage .in th? first-part o f their program, while the latter half is' devoted to negrp spirituals, south­ ern song# and. plantation melodies. Many humorous diversion* are' intro-, duced. With a wealth and variety o f pro­ gram material, the Plantation Singers immediately convince their hearers that they are genuine artists who thoroughly enjoy every phase o f their, work.* Their apparently limitless re­ pertoire include# many o f the old favorites such aa “ Boll, Jordan, Roll” and “ Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” as Well as score* o f tuneful melodies that, although not generally familiar, are sure to lihger long because o f their rhythmic excellence. Many o f their songs have been taken in crude state and harmonized by the best o f modern composers, The Plantation Singers, notable for their close harmony, are the result o f the vision and training o f Robert Jackson, one o f the outstanding musi­ cians o f the colored race. Mr. Jack- '#on is 4. graduate o f the University o f Kansas and is head of the music de­ partment and Dean o f Western Uni­ versity In Kansas City, Kansas. He is a native KOfttuckian and a nephew o f the late John H, Jackson, President o f Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Missouri.

To the Editor o f The Herald; Permit me to call the attention o f the Republican votes, soon to be given a chance to express a choice as to the two aspirants now seeking the office o f president in this state—Secretary Hoover and Senator Willis—to the disgraceful record o f the latter, when he was governor in 1915. That i* the year a German sub­ marine sank the Lusitania and mur­ dered more titan 1,500 American citi­ zens in illegal warfare. Following that tragedy, the New York Times sent a query to the governor o f every state in the union, asking fo r com­ ments upon *nch Unlawful warfare The then governor o f tjiis great state, Frank B. *971111*, 1* the only one Of the 48 governor who justifiedthat mad act o f the German kaiser. For that, if for no other reason, I will not vote for the senator fo r president. That act alone makes him unworthy to receive the vote o f any honest, red-blooded American, If, by any chance* the senator should be nominated by my party, I would lose by self-respect by supporting him at the poll*, for 1 am a patriot before I am a Republican, JOHN McGRAW, LITTLE JACK LITTLE COMING TO SPRINGFIELD Several delegations from here have attended 4b* , Regent Theatre in Springfield1 this week to hear the famous “Hltte Streak o f Vaudeville,” Rea Samuel* to popular songs.

Stivers won the title fo r the sixth time in history by defeating Canton McKinley in the finals, 25 to 20, while Marshall nosed out Man­ chester, 20 to 17. Both winners figured in last year's title, play, Marshall having been beaten in the second round by Kent State which later copped the Class B Championship. Stivers was eliminated by Salem last year to the opening round o f play. It is tile second state title for Stivers to foqr years, the '‘Gem City” aggregation having breezed through to victory to 1924, As a result o f their victory, Stivers VIH probably, be invited to complete in 'the. national high school champion' ships, scheduled for Loyola university, Chicago, early in April. Xenia high school came through the season with what is regarded, as the second best showing, having been de­ feated by Stivers in the tournament. A protest has been made against holding the tournament at tjhe coli­ seum to Dayton to as.much as the two Dayton teams have the .advantage of playing on that floor through the year.

COMMANDMENTS FOR TEACHERS ,Ohio ranked seventh among 20 States in 1917, ton-litter contests, it is announced ‘by the United States Department o f Agriculture. Thirty- nine ton-litters were produced to Ohio last year. Pennsylvania led with 126. Wisconson, with only 34. litters, was first to the weight column, : with a litter o f 12 pigs, which weighed 3598 pounds at 180 days'of age. The high­ est overage weight o f the ton litters, 2648 pounds, was reported from Idaho. Indiana was second both in the number o f litters produced, 80, and in the weight o f the. heaviest litter, 3540 pounds. Wisconsin had the highest average number o f pigs in the ton litters, 11.2 each. * The average weight o f .ton litters, in all 29 states was 2313 pounds; the average o f the Ohio litter* was 2210 pounds. The average number o f pigs in all ton litters was 10.42; in Ohio the was 10.5 The average weight of the heaviest litter from Ohio weighed 2680 pounds, “Thia year's results again demon­ strated the value o f well-bred hogs for pork production," pays the an­ nouncement of the figures. “No litter in which pure breeding did not pre­ dominate, reached the goal. The selection o f sows having the ability to farrow large litters, as well as the application o f improved practices to save every pig farrowed, was also a factor in the production o f these ton litters, most o f which consisted o f 10 pigs or more." l a r g e OATS ACERAGE The prespects for a light Wheat crop in this section due to the wheat freezing out indicates a much larger oat acerage than usual.
