The w., S. and P. Favors the Porker.
The Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
Railway Company is considering the OPP
Grafton of Hog Demonstration Car over
its line between Shreveport and Delta. 1t
is proposed to have just such an equip
ment as has the Cotton Belt (Which is
mentioned in this issue of the Banner) and
which will also be operated without ex-
pense to the public. However. before the
enterprise is undertaken the company
would first like to know from leading
farmers and representative citizens gen.
orally how it would be received. OF course
we cannot answer for them, but believe
many of our readers living on the ", 8.
and P. would be glad to have the car visit
their towns.
Mr.. Frank P. Stubs, jr., division coun-
sci for the road, located at Monroe, writes
us as follows: "The car will stop and re-
main several hours, if not all day, at CEN
trail and convenient points of access in the
different parishes, and | have taken the
liberty of addressing you in order that the
matter may be brought to the attention OF
your people and an expression obtained
from them as to the desirability of the OPP
Grafton of the car, and their opinion as to
whether any practical and substantial
benefits will accrue to them thereby
The plan, if carried out, would no doubt
result in much good, and those in interest
should write Mr.. Stubs at once.

always seems so refreshingly honest
and sensible, to ask Just what the
prospective recipient would like.
-Frankness- is demanded, insisted
upon. and finally. when 1t really
seems that frankness is meant, it
comes, and definite description OF
the precise kind of lamp needed is
given, listened to. and glow OF
pleasure undergone that at last
such things are to be managed
saneIy. Then-no matter how many
times it happens, the shock is always
as keen-instead of lamp coming.
a clock or a carving set is sent but

is very embarrassing to the .reciP-

:. General George Curtin insists on
the creation of railway commission
In this state and no one blames him
as he says 1t takes thirty days or
more to get a car load Of lumber to
market.
Recently large shippers here held
a conference with Baltimore and
Ohio ohcials, at which the incapable
ity OF the railroad company 70
handle goods going out and coming
into clarksburg was shown. All
the shippers got at that meeting was
a promise. If the state had had a
railway commission. the railroad
company would not have gotten out
of that conference so easily.
"A part of the Democratic press
and several Democratic politicians
especially those who represent the
railroads and other corporations. e1'
press themselves as bitterly opposed
to railway commission, but such
men as General Curtin-actual ship
pers-know much more about what
ft needs along that line.
The West Virginia Board of Trade
comprised largely OF shippers
passed resolution favoring the ere
alton of such a commission. and i
is presumed that body knew wha
1t was talking about.

FreIeht by Aeroplane.

An aviator has flown from Dayton
+. to columbus carrying $4,000 worth
OF SINK. He covered the So miles at
the rate OF a mile a minute. The
load was not bulky and could have
been shipped in some other fashion.
The proceeding, however. was inter
esting as Indicating that light
freight can he carried by the air
line in much less time than by any
other means OF transportation.
The aeroplane, If it is to continue
It's advance, must have some po-
4ential commercial use. observes the
cleveland Plaindealer. AS a play
thing 1t is not worth while. AS the
science of aviation advances. how
ever, there is every reason to believe
that practical uses Will be found
and that the development will be
along these lines
oRhand one is inclined to predict
that the dirigible,. or lighter than
air sky ship, will have a greater
usefulness thanLthe more interesting
aeropIane. Its possibilities for COM
merce seems 10 be much larger. One
can conceive a passenger or a freight

Passing Of the BucIzwheat Cake.

Passing OF the BuclCwheat Cake.
The news that the consumption OF
buckwheat cakes has seriously fallen
or within five years comes from
former stronghold of that breakfast
table deIicacy-New Jersey. 1t was
from New Jersey that decreased
production of applejack was recently
reported. Is the state proving false
to its old gastronomic ideals? asks
the New York World.
AS for the buckwheat cake, its loss
OF popularity is variously attributed
to the thrush of patent breakfast
foods in the wake of a large COM
muting population and to dearer
pork, which initiates against
the inseparabIe concomitant OF the
sausage. Whether the presence OF
wheat-middllngs in the -four has
anything to do with it need not be
considered. But the primal moving
cause of its decadence is no doubt to
he found in a commerciallzed cuisine
and in the deterioration OF the art
OF making bucldwheat cakes.
This is a native art, one not &C
ouired in intelligence offices. Given
the old culinary conditions under
which it fiourished, with buckwheat
cakes OF the kind that used to APP
peal to the masculine palate, and
there would be no occasion to de-
plore the passing of this nutritious
and appetizing article of diet. The
appetite is still there. The trouble
is to prepare buclewheat cakes in u
way to satisfy it.

PITTsBURG PEOPLE PLEASED
Gamble Concert Party, which will
Appear Here Next Week

The Ernest Gamble Concert Party
consisting Of the distinguished young
basso- cantante, Ernest Gamble: Verna
Page, violiniste and Herr Otto Stuer-
mer, pianist and accompanist, appear
ed last evening in the lecture hall of
the Carnegie Institute to a good sized
and appreciative audience. It was the
| first appearance Of Mr.. Gamble and
the assisting musicians in long
while Both Mr.. Gamble and Miss
Page (who, by the way, is Mrs. Gam
/ ble) are well known to the music low
| ers Of this city and are favorites with
| those before whom they have appear
! ed.
Mr.. Gamble has the happy faculty
| of placing on his program songs
which not only offer the best oppor-
tunity for the display of his splendid
voice, but songs which can be readily
understood and enjoyed by his lis
teners. In his singing last night Mr..
| Gamble showed obviously that he had
| lost none of the fervor, refinement
and vocal execution which have. char
acterized his work since first he en-
tered the concert field From the first
song, Air du Major" by Thomas. to
the humorous and quaint north coun-
try song he exhibited his well-school-
ed and sympathetic organ. Although
Mr.. Gamble sang but one German
song, Der Wanderer." by Shubert,
| by his style and interpretative re-
sources he showed himself capable of
reaching great heights as a "lieder
singer" His Hungarian folk song.
Kerbays "Shepherd, See Thy Horses
Foaming Name" and his Monotone, -
| by Cornelius, were artistic pieces of
work. Altogether Mr.. Candles entire
program was both vivid and impress
| sive.
The work of Miss Page called forth
encomiums from both musicians and
laymen in the audience. She has a
vast amount of temperament and an
adequate technique, with beautiful
and we'll poised tone quality. Her
playing of the difficult Vieuxtemps
"Ballade and Polonaise" was most
satisfying. In numbers with quiet and
sustained passages she obtained
quite naturally a vibrant, singing tone.
Miss Page has a charming and unas-
sumed stage manner, which adds
| greatly to her work.
In his piano numbers and his &C
companying Herr Stuermer satisfied
the audience. He is a musician OF
agreeable and pleasing proportions
appearing perhaps to better advant-
age as an accompanist than a concert
pianist-Pittsburg Dispatch.
The above mentioned highly talented
company will be at the armory in the
lyceum course Thursday evening, Jan
20. AS a high-class musical event, it
will be the leader of the season.
