SONG RECITAL HELD
 AT VANCE AUDITORIUM
Little Folks Acquit Themselves very
 Creditaby Showing Results of Careful Training

To those who have not informed themselves as to the value of music in the schools, should have been present at the Vance auditorium for the song recital given by the prim- ary anl grammar grades of the Mesa public schools yesterday afternoon commencing at 2:30 o'clock. And. while a great deal of complimentary notice naturally goes to the little folk who acquitted themselves 50 Creditably, yet there remains d great deal of credit due Mrs. Ruth Huber who has had charge of this depart ment in the local schools until Mesa : has advanced to that enviable posi- tion which is second to no other pub i lie school system within the state. 1t has been said that it is not so difficult to pick out a child with musical talent and develop a culti- vated voice. but the training of a grade or ;tn entire school system to read and sing music is an entirely different matter It is in the partic- uiar careful painstaking work that has been @iNen in the training of classes and grades including scores of boys and girls that showed up to such splendid advantage.
 It is impossible to give compre- hensive mention of the many features that impressed the great number of patrons of the schools who were present yesterday afternoon to hear the recital However. the first num- Der cannot be passed without favor able mention. The first grade tots responded splendidly to their training and brought forth liberal rounds of applause. Moreover, the second num- per. the Virginia reel. was splendidly executed and would have been 9 credit to children much in advance of the first graders. The fourth number. Sleepy Time" executed by the fifth grade boys in pajamas and carrying candles, was sespecially ap- preciated. The boys very ably dem onstrated that they were able to sing even after arriving at the fifth grade without the assistance of the girls. The sixth number, q minuet by the first and second grades, was very heartily appreciated by the audi ence. The two closing numbers were especially meritorious and brought forth rounds of applause. The pro- gram was presented as follows:
 Swing Song ..... Churchill -Grendell Rainy Day .... Churchill -Grindell The Froggies Swimming Pond Gaynor

PAwNBRoKERs HARD HIT BY LAW

Raleigh, April 23.-Pawnbrokers OF
Raleigh, in their own interest and In
the interest of other pawnbrokers
throughout the State, have been storm
ing the Department of State the past
day or two getting at the real status of
their business as affected by an act To
regulate the business of pawnbrokers,
as passed by the recent Legislature,
the provisions Of which lei not to
have been noted by them while the
bill was pending. The act, it develop
ed, has the effect Of prohibiting the sale
of any article as 'unredeemed pledges"
not actually so in their possession re-
quired a bond for $1,000 to the mu-
nicipal authorities to be liable to the
city and to the patron who procures
judgment; prevents any charge for ac-
commodation at more than In annual
rate of six per CEN and requires that
the pawnbroker shall file with the
chief of police in the town reports on
each. article pledged within forty
eight hours after the transaction, and
furnish to the patron a duplicate Of
the entry required to be made on the
books of the pawnbroker.
The Raleigh p~awnbrokers declare
that the provisions of the new law
are so burdensome as to force them
out of business unless they can get
some relief from the courts. The reg
ulations are ~burdensome they say, in
the multiplication of records and red
tape and the rigid limit of revenue at
six per cent on loans coupled with the
excessively high license taxes provid-
ed by the evenue act as simply max
ing q legitimate pawnbrokerage bust
ness impossible.

HENDERSON COUNTY IMPORTS
e9e8yOOO IN FEED STUFFS,

That Henderson county farmers fall
short nearly n hundred thousand
dollars in raising enough foods and
feed stuffs to supply the county is
shown in q statement prepared by a
University statistician. )
OF all the counties in the State, Hen
derson ranks as the 46th, failing by
$968,00O to raise enough food stufs
for the county. Allegheny county
fails by $4,000 and Mecklenburg fails
by $4,663. 900.
The following from the Progressive
Farmer is of interest in this connec-
ton:
"Will Allen White. the Kansas edi-
tor, made himself famous by writing
an eloquent word-picture, What's the
Matter With Kansas?" E. C. Branson,
at our State University, is making
himself famous by proving through
figures what's the matter with North
Carolina.
Here's what's the matter: There
Is not a single county in North Carroll
ma that grows enough food and feed to
supply man and beast, folks and ami
mails, in that county. Allegheny
comes nearest to doing it, lacking only
$4,000 worth. In half the counties
in the state. however. the foods and
feeds grown in that county lack a mil
lion dollars worth of being enough
to feed the county.
"This, at any rate, is what the CEN
sus statistics indicate, and Mr.. G. W.
Bradshaw, working under Professor
Branson's direction, has worked out
the figures showing just how much
each county lacks of raising enough
foods and feeds to be self-sustaininE."

sha Breckenridge, of Lexington, Ky ,
was as follows:
Resolved, That a large educational
work can only be accomplished in the,
shortest time by the enthusiasm and
the help of the whole people; that the
mother sex should take in this genera
ton, as it has in the past necessary
and important part in the education of
the Young; that the south needs today
in her educational problem the help
OF every woman in the south rendered
in the most effective way, and that
this conference feels that southern
women, therefore should have the
right to make their educational In
terest effective by the use OF the bal
lot in voting taxes, selecting school
officers and obtaining school legisla-
ton"
The proposal of W. P. G. Harding,

PURE WATER PAYS.

Six years ago Columbus, Ohio, in
stalled a modern water filtration plant.
Prior to that time they used a more or
less polluted well supply and an I'M
filtered river water. For six years
prior to the installation of the filter,
their typhoid fever death rate averaged
63 per 5000. For the six years since
installing this plant this typhoid rate
has dropped to an average of less than
II per 100, 900, or about M fourth OF
the former rate. Practically all this
improvement is credited to the use OF
pure filtered water.

A well-known American newspaper

the returned scribe, when some

him hat l was not hunting a story
from him, and assured him 1 would
