Padere4vSk! Charms
Immense cAudfence

Paderewski, the Polish pianist, who
stands among the very greatest per-
formers the world has ever known,
gave recital in the Light Guard arm
DRY Tuesday night, in the presence of
one OF the largest gatherings OF the
season. His name alone Is sufficient
TO fill the big auditorium, and il was
a company OF devoted friends and ad-
mirers that welcomed this great vir-
tuoso when he stepped on the platform
Tuesday evening.
The subdued light in the hall would
have been sufficient to tell the OBJ
servant that a genius was there For
be IL known that Padereswki has real
lied how subtle is the influence ex-
erted by light upon the attention of an
audience, and he is the first pianist
who has thus far attempted to do
away with the uncomfortable glare
that prevails In the average concert
room. 1t is also true, too. that any
chair other than the substantial deep
seated one with red fringe. would
have seemed out OF place before the
plano, as he always uses this and
refuses to- travel without IL.
The program opened with Paderew-
skis own variations and fugue, given
for the first time In Detroit. This inn
pressive and pompous selection was
presented with all the art OF the
genius, and at its conclusion was
greeted with spontaneous applause.
10 was evident before the Chopin
numbers were reached that Paderew-
ski is a universal genius to whom all
music is an open book Chopin has
been called Paderewski's second self,
and the truth of this was exemplified
in the three numbers OF that compos-
er--the nocturne, etudes and scherzo,
which he gave. This music Is the
revelation given to his maturer years,
&C the tried and deeply versed artist,
the man of worldwide experience. A
Beethoven sonata, "Auf Dem Wasser
Zu Singer" "Soiree De Vienne.r and
"Ekring," by Schubert Liszt. the
Chant D'Amour" by Stoiowski, and
the List rhapsodie Hongroise com.
pleted the program.
Padcrewski has pronounced indi-
viduality. freedom from affectation,
wonderful technique and q mastery
OF the pedal that beggaTs description
His power over the emotions of his
audience defies explanation. When
the last note of the Ltszt rhapsodie
had died away last night, the audience
refused 20 leave until he had returned
to the platform and played again and
again. The recital OF Tuesday must
have convinced the most skeptisal
that Paderewski's power TO attract a
big audience does not lie In his tawnyI
hair, nor in his cold reserve. but that
above and beyond that there is the
brains and genius OF an artist who has
no peer in the present generation.
The pianist completes his American
tour late I'm April. and The early part
of May win sail FOR his hqme Ia SwItz.

FARMERS STICK
To PRISON TW|NE
REFUSE TO BUY FROM THE
TRUST ALTHOUGH 1T HAS
CUT THE PRICE.

The utility and success OF the
states binder Irvine plant in Jack
son prison has been proven beyond
oavil within the past week by the fact
thai the years output is now more
than sold and the plant is running
overtime.
Much of the credit OF this must
rest with g. II. Slocum, editor OF The
Cleaner" a magazine devoted TO the
marketing OF farm products.
Within the last few days, we have
received enough orders to more than
take care of the prison output" says
Mr. Slocum. IF we could get IL, the
farmers would take several hundred
tons more by June 10, when harvest
begins.P
AT the time the binder Irvine bill
was up, hard fight was made by in
terested parties to defeat 1t, and petit
tons signed by 10000 people in its
favor were necessary to persuade the
state solons to favorable action. Ii
was estimated that the output would
be 500 tons per year and that the state
would have TO sell it through travelling
men,
Mr.. Slocum, however. bid for the en-:
tire output for the Cleaners at S79J
and that organization has since been
marketing it without commission. The
twine trust Immediately cut prices
from $1,000 TO $7.25 per hundred
pounds, but the farmers stuck TO the
states product.
II figure that the state has been
saved $4,000 by the Cleaners, as it
otherwise would Nave had to pay the
cost OF selling and also to meet the
cut p9fces," says Mr.. Slocum. "rhe
farmers have made a saving many
times that much as the Irvine prices
have run as high as SIC per hundred
pounds The success of the co-opera-
tive plan in this instance is very graft
