not complain of the manner in which

certainly opposed to the traffic in
counterfeit products and would use
his best efforts to see that sales were
made within the law.
After the hearing the Grange com-
mittees held a conference with Dairy
apd Food Commissioner Foust. A
policy of testing in the courts the
right of the State officials to restrict
use of the coloring materials and to

THE DIXIE JUBILEE BINGERS,
What Has been Nald of Them in Oregon
and Utah,
A full house for the Dixie Jubilee
Singers is assured, but the following
comments are of ruch a character that
it will do ticket holders for the con-
cert, in Grange Arcadia, Centre Hall,
Monday evening, 7th inst., good to
read them.
Tue Dalles ( Ore. ) Chronicle—The
visit of the Ferguson Dixie Jubilee
Singers to The Dalles proved to be a
musical feast, Buch an sggregation of
harmony it has not been the pleasure
of our people to hear for many years,
Iu the first place they have the voices,
and in the second place they have the
discernment, which proves to them
that nothing pleases better than the
old songs, and so the m jority of their
selections were negro melodies and
familiar airs, thouzh several classic
pumbers were given, The soprano,
tenor and buss were particularly fine
and solos by each of these were greatly
appreciated. The male quartet was
compelled to answer encore after en-
core, and in their calliope imitation
csused an uproarous burst of applause
[his was also the case when the full
chorus sang ‘‘ The Old Flag Never
Touched the Ground,” patriotism
being aroused to its highest pitch ss
the star 8s. sogled banner, in the hands
of Madame Buckner, kept time te
their singing.
The singers were most gracious and
never refused an encore.
Ogden ( Utah) Examiner—The
Dixie Company at the Tabernacle last
night added a new besuly to the old
plantation songs. It was the irre.
pressible optimism of the negro ex-
pressiog itself in sudible form. Melo-
dies that have become common to the
entire country, sweet lullabies, rollick-
ing dialect songs of the southland
were rendered with expression. The
joartet blended excellently.

It is the farmer whom we must de-
