Clifton,
Miss Standford At
College Auditorium
Mias Standford,
cr vacation with
who is spending
home folks in
Waco, delighted an audience in Clif-
ton Tuesday evening, coming under
the auspices of the American Legion
Auxiliary. Her charming appear-
ance and gracious manner won her
audience from the beginning, while
her interpretation of the Jewel song
from “Faust” and Shadow song from
Dinrah proved her a soloist of rare
ability. The program was varied,
and in addition to the heavier num-
bers, consisted of negro melodies and
fashioned favorites sung with a
clearness and sweetness that appeal-
ed to all present.
Miss Standford was accompanied
by Miss RuthOdegaard, talented mu-
n of our city, who gave two
pleasing numbers in addition to. the
regular program. (
We hope for a return engagement
of Miss Standford and congratulate
the Legion Auxiliary for securing
such talent for our entertairhnent.

Chillicothe News: When you get
a little gloomy about business, just
remembfcr how one of the directors
of a big business turned the tide of
thought by asking another di-
rector this question: “Can you tell
how far a dog can run into the
woods?” The young director ap
peared disgusted with such a ques-
tion, and he answered abruptly:
“He can run into the woods as far
aa he likes.” “No,” said the older
director; “when he has run into the
woods half way ha is then running
out of the woods.” And this :s
exactly what we business men are
; doing today—we are on the last
I lap of a long, and lonely trail out!
