if not as large as desired, is turning

High prices here are also benefting
the grower, and no great decline can
be anticipated in view of the fact that
the worlds wheat yield is about 90

Corn, the most important crop to Anne

good chance of our securing 100000

frost danger, which is diminishing
daily, will be entirely eliminated.
Though the price per bushel is lower,
the value of this crop is quite likely to
equal that of 1909. In fact it is not at

A One-Iecged soldier.

A soldier with only one leg would
seem to be an anomaly, but the French
town of Ranbaix can boast of one in
the person of Alexandra Murth, re-
servist of the 161st infantry regiment.
Murth broke his leg some months
ago, owing to an accident while dig
ging a we'll. The limb was amputated
and replaced by wooden substitute.
Recently Murth was called upon to
undergo the usual seventeen days of
training at St. Mihie1. He duly pre-
scented himself expecting to be dis
charged, but to his surprise was de-
tanned at the barracks and set to
mending shoes, despite his ignorance
of the craft The colonel even threat
ened him once with eight days "cells"
because he was not prompt enough in
rising to the salute.-London Evening

Mr. Max Zach. who is coming to

that this country's musical develop

of worthless compositions" said he re-
Gently. compositions that do not have
any educational value. They are su-
perficial. which is their function. But
the works of the great masters are
more and more appreciated. Men
and women with minds and hearts,
with a capacity for deep feeling and
deep thought, turn naturally to the
great works. even though they lack
formal instruction in music. This has
always been my contention, and is in
line with my experience as a conduc-
tor.

pie will listen with pleasure to good
music as readily as to bad. A we'll ar
ranged program Of good music is ap-
preciated more than program that
contains trashy stuff. Wagnerian mu-
sic shows no abatement in general an
probation. 1t is more strongly be-
loved today IN this country than ever
before. Wagner'S music power lies in
his capacity to reach the profound,
complex emotions of our hearts with
the master touch of true genius. And
genius is always appreciated because
of it's appeal to the universal in u.s.

so many Democratic orators are quot

so many Republican orators are quoting

head sorrowfully, deploring the power
of the rum demon to confuse mems
thoughts. Well, We imagine a man might
now ask where are we at?" without
either evoking the laughter or provoking
the charge of inebriety. Certainly there
is honest cause OF confusion when we
hear Democrats quoting Republicans 10

Republicans quoting the speeches and

Mr.. Fairbanks and Conservation.

Former Vice President Fairbanks. who
trip around the world. was much struck
by what he saw OF forest preservation
IN Japan and Germany. In Korea and
China he saw the evil results OF years
OF waste and carelessness. Impressed
thus by the Importance OF the subject,
and having wealth and leisure and the
desire TO be OF real service. Mr.. Fair
banks has headed a movement for the
conservation of timber In Indiana and
for the reforestation OF the waste and
improbable places in the State.
In a recent interview. the ex-Vice Presi-
dent said Indiana owed it 10 herself and
10 the generations yet to come TO preserve
the valuable resources of the State: TO
follow the example OF the Germans, and
10 keep tomorrow constantly in mind.
He says:
There are many ways in which we can
serve our State and the future but we
can do Il in no way so effectually as by
growing trees in many places which are
little adapted 10 other uses. IL is pos
sible to plant millions OF trees in the
ninety-two counties OF Indiana, which
will add millions OF dollars annually TO
our wealth. and in the meantime increase
the beauty Of the State and the comfort
OF the people"
At the head OF a movement with so
laudable an object. Mr.. Fairbanks can and
will render signal service TO his State.
