The oratorio Of Christ and His Sol
diers," given at st. Paul's Episcopal
church Tuesday evening, Jan. 26, by
the choir, organ and Eymann's orches-
ira was certainly the finest musical
production ever presented in Warsaw
and would be a credit to any large
city. One must be a musical critic
to 60 it proper justice. Besides being
free-a collection only being taken
it was great surprise to the large
audience that completely filled the
church and a marvellous treat. Words.

The feeling prevails that 1t ought to
be repeated and an admission fee
charged.

pieces. DR.. John Marsh Of Keokuk
added much to it with his cello on
which he is an artist. The time OF
the music was perfect, no tagging,
which fact was notable as this was an
amateur affair in part. Much credit
is due to Rev. George Long who Is a
fine musician and who trained those
who took part and thus made the ora
torio success. With his baton he
directed the rendition Of the oratorio
controlling the different parts as by
magic. Warsaw wants more OF this

ing Post.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-What the
break on the stock exchange today
chiefly illustrated, was the familiar
principle that after prices have been
advancing for considerable period,
on an uninterrupted series of favor
able developments, it is time to look
for something unfavorabie and for a
general break in prices when it comes.
The extremely poor report of the Steel
Corporations earnings for the past
three months and the passing Of divi-
denls on the common shares were an
nounced after the close of business
yesterday and they served the purpose.
If they had not done so, there would,
no doubt have been something else.
The figures of the steel report were
undoubtedly worse than the stock ex-
change community had anticipated;
but the particular violence Of today's
decline in prices may reasonably be
ascribed to the fact that reaction was
already, in the Wall street phrase
oiogy, overdue. AS was to be expected
and under such circumstances the
market opened with over night de-
clines. Further declines of point or
Whereabouts followed in the more act
i've shares, though recc-ery from the
early low prices ensueG I many of
them. On the whole, movement
was downward Throughout the day;
but in the last quarter hour of trading
there was eviuence of much specula-
tive repurchasing which resulted in
an upward reaction of u point or
more before the close.

GREAT ORANGE CROP
PROMISES FINE FRUIT,

With an anticipated output of 49,
600 cars Of oranges and 5000 cars of
lemons from the state of California,
citrus fruits promise to be conspicu-
Gus during the present season and
available at prices even lower than
apples. The new navel crop now com.
ing on the market is the finest fruit
ever seen at this time of the year.
The lemon harvest will double that of
last season and in few years Califor-
mans expect to produce crop Of suf-
ficient size to eliminate the necessity
Of foreign importation.
Since 1896, when the California
Fruit Growers Exchange was organ
lied, the citrus industry has been de
ing to profitable enterprise. During
the past decade. while the population
Of the United States increased q per
cent, the consumption of California
oranges increased TAG per cent. The
aim of the exchange shippers is to
make the name Sunkist guarantee
to the purchaser Of the quality of the
fruit. In other words, by careful grad
ing and selection they aim to maintain
such high standard that the name
Sunkist on citrus fruits will convey
the assurance of the term Sterling on
silver
The California Fruit Growers Elk
change, which packs the Sunkist
brand is made up of 1000 growers
who ar, voluntarily affiliated and aim
to market their fruit at the lowest
possible expense. This gigantic fed
Grafton has succeeded in reducing the
marketing cost to / 3-5 percent on
the gross sales, which is the lowest
of that on any agricultural crop in
the world. It accumulates no profits
and declares no dividends.
The influence of packing a depend
able quality of fruit is clearly reflect
ed in the increased demand for citrus
fruits. Last year the Sunkist people
shipped 619 percent Of the crop of
oranges, or 10.156,724 boxes In adGt-
ton they handled about Is percent Of
the lemon output, or 1.105,461 boxes,
making a total of 2S,195 carloads.
Scientific cultivation, efficient mar
keting. the elimination of unnecessary
rehandling and the ability to handle
in tremendous quantities are the main
factors which have made it possible
for the Sunkist people to place their
fruit in practically every store in the
country at prices which render them
available to rich and poor alike

An Illustration Of Scientific Charity.
Chicago Tribune: Mr. Hyde's re-
cent article on the hopeful and inter-
esting departure" Of the Jewish Aid
society of this city should challenge
the attention not only Of the organ
lied charitable and relief agencies,
but of hundreds of individual philan-
thropists, as well.
Before and during the recent holiday
season several instances Of hostility
or to put it more mildly, distrust
and GOODNESS toward organized charity
came to the notice Of the Tribune.
Men and women would say to social
workers: 81 have SO or SIS which l
wish to give to some destitute, hun
cry, and suffering family, but 1 must
have assurance that the money Will
60 to such a family direct, and not to
an association that pays many salaries
or makes interminable investigations,
with the result that Of my little con-
tribution about one-fifth would go to-
ward relief" Now the impulse Of
such persons is noble and their atti-
tude Ineligible enough, especially in
view of certain attacks on organized
charity that, perhaps, have not been
sufficiently refuted to the satisfaction
Of the great public. But these kindly
people fail to realize that impulsive
and prompt charity may be the worst
thing for tho beneficiaries; that pau
perization families and the cultiva-
ton of SIC md dependence are real
and serior vils, To do what the
Jewish Al IS been doing-on a mod
est scale. ne sure, but on a scale
capable CT ltension-requires time,
Investigate salaries of efficient
office and cid workers; but are not
the gratifying results worth all that
cost? Is it not infinitely better TO give
men and women new start, TO put
them on their own feet again, to APP
peal to their self-respect and self-re-
lance? The reclaimed pauper becomes
useful and his children have chance
in life, He may even return the
money that enabled him to make the
new start, Is not such charity hui
name, as we'll as efficient and scien-
tific?
The remedies for the delays, blund-
e-s, and wastes Of organized charity
are to be found in still better orcan-
ization, improved efficiency, and in

Bathing Beach for Use Of Moose and
General Public to be Built
at the Foot of Absolute
Hill.
MONEY is SUBSCRIBED
Details of Plans viii be Worked Out
In Another Week-The
Moose Pay the
Cost.

Bathing beaches, with perhars a
small amusement park, will be built
at the foot Of Anschutz hill before
summer, If the plans of the Keokuk
lodge OF Moose are carried out Ten
tative arrangements for carrying out
these plans practically have been COM
pleted and all that now remains to
be done is the working out of the de-
tails
Although no contracts have yet been
made, the Mississippi River Power
company has agreed to allow the use
OF the ground on which the pavilion
will be erected. The Keokuk Elec-
trio company has agreed to extend
their wires to the foot of the hill in
order to provide lighting facilities.
and the city council has agreed to
build a concrete sidewalk to the bot
tom of the hill next to the beach.
To Erect Pavilion.
The present plans are to construct
beach by dumping several car loads
of sand along the edge of the water
at the foot Of the hill Then pavilions
will be erected, containing lockers
and shower baths. One part of the
beach and pavilion will be reserved
for the exclusive use of the Moose
and their families, while another par.
will be for the use of the general pub
lie and for which q small charge will
be made. On either two or three days
OF each week, poor children who are
unable to pay even a small fee to
use the beach, will be admitted free.
In order to provide a safe place for
the children to swim, wire fence
will be constructed, enclosing a part
of the beach where the water will
not be too deep and which the chill
dren will be unable to get from into
deeper water.
Raise Money Among Moose.
The money for the cost of erecting
the beach is being raised among the
members of the Moose lodge and at
present practically the entire amount
has been subscribed.
At meeting held last night a com
mittee of FIVE, of which Frank M. Bal
linger is to serve as chairman, was
appointed to complete the arrange
ments. The committee is composed of
Frank NJ. Baliinger, Warren Warwick,
Fred H. Overton, Mayor S. w. Moor
head, and Alonzo Laubersheimer.
1t was also decided that when the
place has been constructed board
of regents composed Of four members
of the Moose and the three members
of the city council will be named to
have charge OF and govern the beach.
Details of the present plans probably
will be worked out in another week,
according to Mr.. Ballinger.
