SMALL TRIBUTE TO PROF.
HEDGE

Our training in the chorus "Hiawa-
tina" under the leadership of Prof.
Hedge, closed the last rehearsal last
evening. We have had the pleasure of
singing in a chorus of several hundred
voices at the opening of the auditor
ium" in Storm Lake, Iowa, under the
training of Prof. Rooney of Chicago.
On another occasion we sang in a
chorus under the training of DR..
Palmer of New York, and have had
other fine instructors, and we desire
to say this in behalf Of Prof. Hedge:
He is one of the most genial, courteous
instructors we have met, never once
have we seen a look or heard a word
of Impotence or annoyance, but he
has gone on in his untiring labors
week after week. We wonder If we
appreciate the privilege we have been
receiving? For such instructions we
have been glad to pay a good price.

that, whereas, there were only 10000

Switzerland Plans
to Get Food for Army
From United States

GENEVA, April is.--The swiss govern
ment is considering the idea of an ar
rangement with the grain interests IN
the United states whereby the Swiss
might be supplied with American wheat
n the powers which surround the little
neutral republic we're at war. The for
eign office is negotiating first with the
French and Italian governments to learn
what assurances may he had that such
grain shipments would not be molested
in passing through these countries In
time OF war.
The problem OF wheat supply for the
Swiss army, became acute during the
Balkan war, when the closing OF the
Dardanelies cut off much of the usual
importations from the east and prices
scared tremendously high Emergency
shipments from the United states then
relieved the situation.
At present the government keeps stores
of wheat sufficient to feed the whole
mobIlized force OF the country. upward
of 100000 men, for several months. The
grain is stored in the capitals OF eleven
cantons and Is never allowed TO remain
in storage more than three months, sup
plies being constantly taken out and re-
newed.
A distinguished officer OF the Swiss
general staff has advised the government
10 come to an arrangement with neigh
boring powers on a novel basis. In the
event OF war Switzerland should be al
lowed 10 receive its food supplies through
any Of the countries on it's frontiers on
condition that the Swiss government re-
ceived 100000 sick and wounded soldiers
and took care of them until the end Of
the war. DR.. Hardy OF Geneva, who was
surgeon in the Balkan war, says that
all the hotels in switzerland would have
10 be turned into hospitals to care for
10000 men, and that there are not
enough doctors and nurses in the ooun-
try. The cost In preparation and in main
