All the work except the first plowing or spading o f the ground, must be per formed by the contestants. The result expected is that hundreds o f families in Marion county will be popping com next winter, and hundreds o f buys and girls will enjoy their win ter evenings at home eating the crisp snowy flakes which thoy themselves produced.

Edith Haines-Kuester Music lovers and all others have a treat in store for them in the forthcoming concert on April 4th at the Stayton Theatre, presenting Edith Haines-Kuester of Portland and more recently of New York City, who is considered one of the foremost of American Comiwsers. She combines the talents of the Composer, Singer and Pianist. A program of splendid variety and of a quality rare ly, if ever before offered to a Stayton audience will be given. The program includes besides Piano Solos and Duets, a number of songs in English and German, interpreted in a manner seldom heard out of Grand Opera. This concert will be given under the auspice s of the Harmony Clnb o f Stayton assisted by Mrs. Cahler of Albany. A special piano has been generously furnished by the Eilers Music Company of Portland for this occasion. The admission price is extremely moderate, considering the quality of the concert.
