TO a musical selection composed by

with the completion of a work of
the merit possessed by the string
quartet recently composed by Walter
Hawkinson, the artist will place him
self in the ranks of the serious young

the four movements of his quartet
and the musical public has yet to hear
it performed. privilege which the
composer is to accord in the near flu

talent. head of the violin department
of Minnesota college and a pupil of
Macmillan Dick. Mr.. Dick SAYS of
the quartet that it is "a remarkably
fine piece of work to have been writ

life and energy and musical through

well constructed and the different

WAS A GOOD FELLOW
Dealers Testify in Nebraska Harvester
Case.

Omaha. Neb. March 6.-The- sale of
binder or a mower often depends on
the brand of whisky you use, accord
ing to NJ. NJ. Ford of Rushville, Neb.,
who testified before Special Examiner
Robert s. Taylor when the Interna-
tional Harvester company began its
defense in the government suit charg-
ing violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
Ford, an implement dealer, declared
the International company had not
used coercion to force him to sell its
lines exclusively. The local dealer, he
declared, who made the sales was the
man who showed himself to be a good
fellow and that so long as his goods
were standard he was able to swing
the business.
G. +. Glazier of Pawnee City, Neb.,
who had been selling agricultural inn
plements for 81 years, declared his
business was free from the influence
of the International Harvester COM
pany and that he had not been the
object of coercion. He said the farm
er had gained much by the improve
ments in harvesting machinery and
that binders had been. reduced 60 per
cent in price since they were first in
troduced.
On croSS-eXaminati ton Glazier admit
ted that most of the improvements
and reduction in price came previous
to formation of the International COM
pany.
Three other Iowa and Nebraska
dealers gave similar testimony.
