Henry Ford is quoted as say
ing: IF any Of the banks which
have money belonging to the
Ford Motor Company, or to me
personally, participate in the
Anglo-French loan, l will with
draw every penny from them"
It appears that Henry needs to
be informed that in spite Of his
millions, he cuts a night little
swath in this worlds affairs. He
doesn't appear to know that the
loan is as essential basically to
the United States as it would be
to England and France. But,
Henry is one of those quick rich
fellows who has yet to learn
that the mere possession Of mil
lions doesn't make one a inan-
cier.

Married Fifty Years Ago.

On Saturday afternoon, Sept.
25th, relatives and friends as
sembled at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. R. P. Harwood to celebrate
their golden wedding anniver-
sary. A reception was prepared
for about one hundred invited
guests, but owing to the in
clemency of the weather only
about forty were present. The
reception hall, parlor and din
ing room was decorated with
golden rods. Assisting Mr.. and
Mrs. Harwood in the receiving
line were: Mrs. ]. R. Platten-
burg, Mrs. Oliver Martin, Mrs.
w. G. Harwood and Mrs. w. B.
Harwood. Punch was served by
Miss Robyn Plattenburg.
The ceremony of fifty years ago
was performed by the Rev. War
rick Briscoe, a Methodist minis
ter, near Parkersburg, West Vir-
ginia. The ceremonial was con-
Quoted in a very pleasing and
humorous manner by Rev. T. H.
Clayton, another Methodist min
lister. The bridesmaid, Mrs.
Elizabeth Nesmith was the same
as fifty years ago, only a little
older grown, but possessing the
same sweet smile and pleasant
manners. Time has dealt very
gently with both Mr.. and Mrs.
Harwood, and if the bride of
fifty years ago was any sweeter
or more charming than the one
of the celebration we do not won
der at Mr.. HARDWOOD being a very
proud and happy bridegroom.
After congratulations refresh
ments were served. Then came
another interesting feature of
the reception, the cutting of the
brides cake. The happy couple
were the recipients of many
useful and beautiful gifts
among which were gold pieces
amounting to ffty-two dollars.
The best of wishes go out to this
respected couple who have
reached the noontide of life's
Journey together. May they
both live to celebrate many more
happy anniversaries.

The Anti-Saloon League and
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union have united on a
program for statewide prohi-
bition in Missouri through leg
.islative action. They propose to
work for the election of a legis-
lature that will submit a refer
endum to the people to be voted
upon at a special election, the
date to be named by the Legis-
lature. The temperance forces
claim that if prohibition is
submitted at a time when no
other confusing questions are
brought in that it will win in
the state. On the other hand,
both these organizations are
positively opposed to bringing a
prohibition election by the In
.itiative to be voted on on a gen
eral initiative ballot in the No
vember election, 1916.
Both the State Board of Trus-
tees of the Anti-Saloon League
and the Executive Committee of
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union have decisively
adopted this program.

Central College.

Monday evening IN Murrel Au-
ditorium, was an event Of I'M
usual interest. The program
consisted of a joint recital by
Mr.. D. F. Conrad, Organist, and
Mrs. A. w. Allen, Mezzo So
prano. The selections were from
choice literature and were re-
ceived with generous and spon-
taneous applause.
Mrs. Aliens voice has many
admirable qualities, and is
equally effective in lyric and
dramatic requirements. Facility
Iof execution was fully manifest
ed in the Chanson Provencale
and Chaminade's Summer; while
the Madrigale was most salts
factory in a sustained legato, in
telligent phrasing, and shades
of expression.
The Erl-King makes memorable
demands in dramatic capabili-
ties. But this vocal master
piece was delivered so wildly
that the singer swayed the en-
tire audience with convincing
power. In response to an encore
Mrs. Allen sang Somewhere a
Voice is Calling by Tate. Pos
sessing a voice with large range,
power and fulness, which can be
modulated to the most delicate
pianissimo, Mrs. Aliens singing
presents an exceptional versatil-
Iity and charm.
Mr.. Conrad's presence at the
organ is always a surety Of en-
thusiastic approval and his num-
bers last evening were evil
dence of a musicianship that
impresses itself upon an au-
dience.
The modern organ is conceived
as an instrument combining
many resources of the orches-
ira; and several of the selec-
tons rendered were distinctly
of orchestral type. These were
given with skillful registration
and attractive coloring.
The playing of Mr.. Conrad is
satisfactory first in conception ;
md his manual and pedal tech
nique combined with artistic
skill in organ effects expresses
most admirably the musical con-
tent for both the classical and
modern schools. Illustrative of
the latter the Gavotte from Mig
non was so acceptable that the
player responded with an Offer
toire by Batiste. Not less en-
joyable where the lifting caden-
ces of Mendelssohn's Song that
painted Spring in every musical
phrase.
The program closed with the
stirring March from Tannhau-
ser that proceeded with steady
rythm and professional vigor to
its irresistible climax.
This faculty concert was the
initial program of a season Of
beautiful music that may be ex.
pected from the faculty anc
graduates of the Conservatory
of Music.
Following was the program:

OTHER RECORDS OF
 HIGH QUOTATIONS
One Tool Manufacturing Concern in Providence, K. l., Had Quotation of $1O,000 Share for
 Its Stock
Nv HOLLAND

New York. September 4.-tspecial)-A small block of the shares of the Winches- ter Arms company of New Haven, Conn.,, secured quotation, as reported a few days ago, of approximately s300o. Another quotation reported day later showed a considerable falling off, but there were many surmises to the effect that it was not unlikely that a quotation may be reported within the fall of an offering of at least s10,000 a share for this stock. The incident reflects not only the understand ing that this corporation has received and is to execute orders for rifles the money value of which may be hundreds of mill lions and the profits upon which would be proportionately large, but also re- fleets the excitement and interest which have been maintained throughout New England on account of the reports of very heavy war orders
 Nobody, however. will be able to make much money by buying the Winchester Arms company stock, for very little of it can be secured. In accordance with the original plan of Governor Winchester he was lieutenant-governor of Connecti- cut when Marshall Jewell was governor the stock of this corporation has always been very closely held. In some respects, 1t is the most closely directed and op- erated organization in the United States. Those who are fortunate enough to pos sess stock-and these are for the most part members of the family-cannot be tempted by any conceivable offering of

 She could speak of hardly anything else but her own home town, Birrning- ham, and asked after her numerous friends, and many times said that wher- ever her destiny might take her. she would always have warm place in her heart for Birmingham, would always call Birmingham home and would always love Birmingham people. She says she owes all her great future and success to Birmingham. and especially to the 25 bachelors who crowned her that wonder ful night of the ball as the most Deuu- tful girl in Alabama.

each year but this number proved toe small in the stress of war. To meet the acute demand for competent officers the four years curriculum has had to be re- adjusted. When the war broke out there were at the academy 27 Australians and eight New Zealanders who were within five months of graduation. These youths were graduated forthwith and in Decem- Der last 36 others were graduated. A further batch of cadets are leaving for the front this month, making a total of 105.
 But not satisfied with this rate of pro- duction, Colonel Parnell the commandant of the college, arranged with the minister for defense. Senator Pearce. to take in 35 young volunteer officers selected for service at the front. These men came up from the various states of the common wealth and were given two months train- ing of highly intensive and specialized d character for the arm in which they were to serve. At the end of June the 8 went to join the expeditonary force at the Dardanelles and with them went 34 cadets who had been specially graduated
 The accession of youths who must be fitted for command in a hurry threw a great amount of extra work upon the Duntroon faculty, and lectures and dem onstrations had to be given day and night to accomplish the purpose in view--turn- ing out about 400. regularly and specially fitted officers in a year-but it was being done. Then the war office cabled that all the imperial officers on the faculty must return at once and thus the college will be crippled for the time being. These of- f1cers will be replaced by wounded officers from England who have been rendered incapable of further campaigning. but are quite competent to act as instructors.

 Nevertheless this reported offering of 5000 share for Winchester stock is likely to go on record as one of the largest offerings ever made for shares of an in- dustrial corporation stock It is com monly reported in the financial district that the highest quotation for the stock of any American industrial was a little in excess for $40.000 share for stock in a corporation which manufactured beer. But when it was borne in mind that the capital stock of this corporation is, comparatively speaking, very small while, on the other hand, it's business and it's profits are very great then there will be good understanding of the req son why so great a quotation for a share of the stock of this corporation was recorded.
 In the financial district, it Is said, that probably the most valuable market value, of the shates of any industrial corporation, at least in the east, is the stock of corporation of Providence, R. l., whose output isa tools. There are re- ports that as much as S10,O00 share has been offered for the stock of this corpora tion, but there is no likelihood that while the present generation is living any of the stock will be tempted from it's present holders no matter how large the offering for it may be, For it is understood that
