McVay As the cold weather is last ing so long and the members of the different choirs cannot get out to practice for thef'r Easter music, it was thought best to postpone the Goodwill Spring Musical to a later date. Perhaps until about April 25th This will give the choirs a bet ter chance to get well prepar ed and by then the weather should be warmer. We hope, Itowtevler, the choirs ’will use this extra time to a great ad vantage and will not wait un til a week or two before they will start now and be well pre pared when the time comes, get ready for the day of all days. We sincerely hope they Let us live up to our slogan “to get bigger and better each year.’’ This year we will have the) City Service Orchestra, with us. We feel this will be a great addition to the pro gram for the day and this will add greatly to the numbers w'hicli all the choirs will render togethrer under the direction of llev. John S. Williams. You w'Jl read more from time lo time about this day in the Omaha Guide. Don’t forget the place, Pilgrim Baptist Church, 25tli and Hamilton Streets.

The modern gas range, instantly control! offers simplicity of opera tion as well as insurance against cooking failures. There are no burn ed pics and cakes, no overcooked meats, no scorched vegetables. Not only have broiling and bak ing units of gas ranges been thor-. oughly modernized to effect per fectly cooked and uniformly bak ed products, but top burners, too, have been designed to give the ut most in flexibility- Four speeds are available—for boiling, frying, sim mering and keeping foods warm— with addition of innumerable heat speeds between, A'l burners In modem gas rang es are unusually economical in op eration, consuming ess gas by vir tue of their new efficiency. You can now do from 15 to 20 per cent more cooking on the same amount of gas.
