the vast issues of securities now demand

concentrates a large part of the funds

where a group of men there have
strengthened their interest in the various
banking institutions the report said.
.If therefore, by money trust Is

been created and is held together through
stockholdings, interlocking directories,
and other forms of domination over banks

has resulted in a vast and growing con
centration of the control of money and

groups studying the work for the day.
As win be seen by the programme. Prof

is but meagre praise to say that all who
heard him were pleased and enlightened
by his instruction.

The death of Major Screws has been
one of the universal topics of regretful
conversation since early Friday morning,
when the people of Montgomery learned
of his death.
Major Screws was one of the most low
able characters that ever lived in Mont
gomery. and his death has been mourned
by hosts of friends of all classes.
AS a mark of respect the city authorities
maintained a guard of honor at Major
Screws residence all Friday and today,
and all vehicles were kept from passing
the sorrow stricken home. Flowers in
great quantities were received Friday and
Saturday from all parts of Alabama, and
hundreds of friends of Montgomery and
neighboring cities called to express their
sympathy to the grief stricken family.

of Tennessee and Professors Jones and
summers who. Immediately before the
contest began, gave instructions Tor
judging mules and horses. The farmers
entered into the contest with a show
OF considerable enthusiasm and there
was keen rivalry to determine the best
judge of the mules and horses. Never
before have the farmers taken so much
interest in live stock This Is indeed
a hopeful sign for the agricultural in
terest in our state
From first to last uring the present
summer school for the farmers intense
interest has been taken in all lines OF
live stock farming. More men are GO
ing into the hog raising business, the
dairy cattle industry and sheep, mule
and horse raising business than ever
before. If the growth and interest con-
tinue Alabama viii no doubt become
one of the leading live stock states
within the next few years.
The farmer must be versatile even
IN these days of intensive farming. The
specialists on the farm must be well in
formed in a wide range of subjects
As variation on the talks upon live
stock, lectures were made upon tomato
culture and feed stuffs. Professor Price
discussed the varieties of tomatoes and
gave instructions for the preparation
and fertilization of soils and the con-
7ti dStiOtl VI npL DeuS ana the market
ing of tomatoes. In the discussion on
the subject of feed staffs careful COM
parison was made of the relative value
of southern and northern feed stuffs
The speaker proved that feeds grown in
tho south are as nutritive as the feeds
of the north and showed that our south
ern feeds contain a sufficient amount
or ash to make all our southern feeds
contain sufficient amount of ash to
make all the flesh and bone Of domestic
animals as those in the northern feeds
which are famous for these properties
The interest in Mrs Calvin's demon
strations and lectures has continued to
grow. In the morning and afternoon of
each day she meets with her classes in
the college dining hall. where these
demonstrations are made.
Mrs. b. l. Robinson of the extension
department gave a canning demonstra-
ton on the campus during the after
noon. All of the ladies and many of
the men took a lively interest in the
work
During the early part of the evening
Mrs. Calvin gave an interesting talk to
the farmers and their wives at the
night meeting in Langdon hall. As
second speaker on the programme for
the evening, Mrs Robinson, told the
farmers about the girls tomato clubs
in Alabama, giving statistics showing
the enormous growth of the work in
the state during the past two years.

Chair From Old Wreck

Marquette, Mich. August 9-(SpeciaL)
Walking on the beach of Lake Superior.
near Marquette, A. A. Cole found the re-
mains of an old chair which had appar-
entity been washed up in a recent storm
and which he carried to his summer cot
tage With the addition of a few pieces
of wood and >coat Of paint Mr.. Cole
transformed his find into a presentabe
rocker
While making the repairs he discovered
in stenciled letters on the bottom UNDER
meath the seat the words 'Str. St. Clair"
Pioneer residents of the upper peninsu-
la well remember the boat, which found
cred in the western end of Lake Superior
with all hands in storm nearly 40 years
ago.
How the chair came to be washed up on
the beach at Marquette and where it has
been the almost half century since the
wreck is more than people hereabouts
can understand. Though water-soaked
the wood of the chair is in a fair state
of preservation.

MONTEAGLE HEARS
ARTISTS OF NOTE
Birmingham Musicians Are
Taking Prominent Part
CONCERT WEDNESDAY
Miss Alan Gray Mooring Warmly Re-
ceived-William Gussen Director
of Orchestra, William Knox
Is First Violin
by Il. HUDSON STROBE

Monteagle. Tenn. August 9.-(Special)
The Monteagle orchestra, under the direc-
tion of the capable Mr.. Tussen of Birming-
nam gave a most delightful mid-weels
concert on wednesday evening. The lead
ing musicians for the evening were Miss
Alan Gray Mooring of Birmingham and
Mr.. William Knox. violinist of the Cincin-
natl Symphony orchestra.
Miss Mooring's numbers at the piano are
always most pleasing to the Monteagle
audience and her every appearance ON the
platform occasions rounds of friendly and
enthusiastic applause. The talented young
lady has on account of her charming per-
sonality and gracious accommodation, as
well as on account of her skill at the keys,
made scores of Interested friends here.
On this evening Miss Mooring played
two of MacDowells brilliant compositions,
the first being 1.-THE Shadow Dance and
the second 1.-THE Hungarian" Both were
equally we'll executed, the technique of
the performer being remarkable, and her
Interpretation and touch most pleasing.
Miss Mooring has indeed a wonderful ca
reer before her, and she expects to go to
Germany to complete her studies.
Mr.. William Knox, who is first violin
ist here, is one of the violin soloists of
the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, and
Mr.. Gussen was quite lucky to be able
to secure his services for the summer and
also to get Mr.. Ellis Levy of the st. Louis
symphony, who has made concert tours
over the United States and who is ranked
by many among the first half dozen yio-
linists in this country.
Mr.. Knox gave for the first selection that
beautiful, weird Souvenir" of Drdla.
."rhe Hungarian Dance" light, airy, fam
tastic, was rendered next. and was much
encored. This piece is the composition CT
JHaesche. Mr.. Knox is a finished artist,
who draws from the stringed instrument
tones that are so exquisitely sweet and
fun of human feeling The orchestra gave
five numbers, opening with the overture to
''Caliph of Bagdad," of Boieldien. The in
termezzo from Ballet Malta followed.
and after Miss Moorings charming work
came selections from Puccini's famous
MADAME Butterfly" The universally ad-
mired Spring Song" of Mendelssohn end
ed the interesting programme.
To the people here who really appreciate
the best music who delight in very difficult
composition being slillfully rendered and
interpreted, the Monteagle orchestra has
ever been better Mr.. and Mrs Gussen
have given their untiring efforts to pro-
duce only the artistic and the true music
lovers here are reveling in the fruits of
their work.
There Is something unusual about the
musicians in that all but the drummer
are under % years of age. Mr. Knox. the
soloist of the Wednesday concert, is only
% and Miss Mooring's Birmingham
friends know that she is still in her teens.
All in the orchestra are from Cincinnati
symphony except Miss Mooring, the re-
rowned Ellis Levy of st. Louis and Miss
Annie Lou Burns of Selma, Ala.
