A slow week Is this In the way Of
record releases, the weekly Edison list
being the only new one promulgated. AS
usual, the list. though small. is precious,
and contains much good in its variety.
First there are two songs Ton one record,
both of them touching and affecting
They are Tom MOore's lovely "She Is Far
From the Land" sung by Thomas Chal-
mers, and Eric Coates "Melanie," sung
by Reed Miller. Continuing the series OF
Scripture lessons there are selections
from the Gospels according to ST. Marx
and ST. Luke. The Rev. j. Wilbur Chap
man reads both, and each Is followed
by hymn. Also in the religious vein the
next recording is from Mendelssohn's
elijah" 1.-TWO selections), The songs
compose the next record, William Dor
rain sings mi Par d'Udre ancora" Il
think l stlll hear, from Bizet's Pearl
Fishers" and the same tenor sings "Notts
sui Mare" a real Neapolitan song. A
more popular record. in the ordinary
sense, Is the combination of Tell Mother
III be There" and I'm Longing for My
Home, Sweet Home" The final record
of the list combines a paraphrase of the
Loreley and Rubinstein's "Kammenoi.
Ostrow"
Accompaniment hOlls
One OF the early developments OF the
player-piano roll, yet one OF the least eul-
tivated. Is the roll which accompanies
voice or instrument. Both in the IS and
in the ss-note roll. there is a vast guam
tity Of material for the amateurs selec-
tion. OF course. the rag of the moment
may not be represented. and that Is a
pity. because there is deal of good
music IN American ragtime. But there
are many songs which are popular in
different way. and the music-roll pre-
sents their accompaniment admirably.
The scoring of the songs Is carefully
made. and the pianist can follow the
singer accurately. Range nom the "In-

Other States

Atlanta, Ca Especial. Corn club
prizes for Southern boys in Georgia
and nine other corn growing states OF
this section, have been renewed for

mittee and chairman Of the Agricul-
tural Committee Of the Atlanta Cham
Der Of Commerce. The prizes amount
in all to $1,000, in cash and scholaf-
ships, and will be awarded under the
direction of the government corn cluD

In Georgia there are three prizes:
A one-year course with all expenses
paid, amounting to $3.50, in the State
College Of Agriculture at Athens;
second cash prize Of $50, and a third
cash prize of $40. Last year the Geor-
gia scholarship prize was won by Cor
don Lee TIasty, Of Walker county, with
14S bushels and 48 pounds TO an acre.
His success was a noteworthy exam
Pile of perseverance, as it was the
third year he had tried for the prize.
In Florida, Alabama, mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and
South Carolina, Mr.. Hastings offers
800 in each state, either In cash or
scholarships according to local ar
rangement
The great educational value and
constructive force Of the corn club
contests. in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn production, are emphasized in an
interview given out by Mr.. Hastings
in connection with his announcement
of prizes.
''The interest now being taken in
corn production, by the federal gov
eminent, by state officials, by leading
organizations and individuals" says
Mr. Hastings, lis, in my opinion, the
greatest constructive force now oper-
alive in agricultural affairs in Amer
lea. For too long the tendency of edu-
cation in the rural schools was to
draw boys away from the farm, nut
the corn clubs are now combining
with true agricultural education to In
fuence the boys to form new ideas
and new ideals of farm life. The corn
club work is growing in value and i'm
portance with each successive year. +"

Who Pays Taxes.
To Keep This
Town Going?

w HEN a new bridge is
needed, a road must
be repaired, a courthouse is
to built, where does the
money come from? Do the
mail order houses pay it?
Hardly. They will not even
send a contribution to help
buy a bell for the new chur-
CHI or to help Fourth Of
July celebration. They pay
no taxes in this town, and
they are not concerned in
its prosperity,
This town must be sup
ported by its residents and
those who live in the i'm
mediate vicinity. If they
insist on sending their
money away then they are
helping to kin their town,
and they are making it
harder for them to ray the
taxes necessary to maintain
local government and to
make local improvements.
You owe something to
yourself, and you owe some
thing to your neighbors.
You can help yourself by
helping your neighbors.
You can't iniure your nei-
ghbors without iniuring
yourself. When you send
money to mail order houses
you are hurting your town,
your neighbors and your
self.
SPEND YOUR MONEY
WHERE YOU MAKE IT.

YOU my admiration for and fullest agreement
with your editorial Of this mornings paper

read by all men. 1t puts concisely the whole
case Of the world VS.. Germany. II SHOWS

And It shows how utterly impossible 1t Is 70

limited States cannot recede from the original
stand Of President Wilson for the rights oil
mankind as against the pretensions Of Ger
many to stand above all the accepted inter
national law won from barbarism by cen
turies Of tragic experience.
It is only question Of time, however deep
ly we depore it, ere we, too, must enter the
arena of world war for the worlds law, as
the situation now appears Unless Germany
recedes from her impossible pretensions we
should begin at once by closing all relations

itself to be over law, which IS only

giving information OF departing ships and
their cargoes; telling them, in fact, Just
where an Ally ship is to be found.

be such cases as the Lusitania's.

American Lives Still Imperilled.

According TO reports from Liverpool
the German submarine commander VINO
sank the Russian steamer Leo off the coast
of Ireland came near duplicating the
Falaba case and adding fresh flame TO
American resentment at the Lusitania
massacre-still unsettled for or even apol-
ogized for by the German government
The Leo carried three Americans as pas
sengers, and only good luck allowed them
TO escape with their lives after the vessel
was torpedoed without the formalities Of
search or warning.
So long as no American lives were lost
our government will hardly feel called
upon to make this case the basis Of new
diplomatic protest. But the very narrow
escape Of the three Americans-eleven out
of twenty-five persons on the Leo being
drc qned-shows on what slender thread
hangs the hope Of optimists here who be-
lieve that we can go on arguing indeii-
nitely with Germany over our violated
rights, counting all the while on German
submarine commanders refraining from
further massacres of American citizens.
The German naval officer took a chance
with the Leo, not bothering TO find out
whether Americans were on board or not.
His colleagues will doubtless take similar
chances in the future, until 1t is settled
definitely that, go far as American citizens
are concerned, Germany will observe the
established rules of war at sea and will
agree to sink no unarmed merchantmen
without first searching her and giving her
crew and passengers an opportunity to
save their lives.
The present situation is fraught with
the gravest peril. Our rights remain in
suspense and may be violated any day,
deliberately or through the carelessness Of
some German naval commander. 1t Is
futile to delay settlement in the expecta-
ton that we shall be safe in the mean
time from German lawlessness. The coun-
try should know as soon as possible where
it stands and be ready to meet the situa-
tion-even If the worst comes to the
worst

George and the Baby.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Do you suppose the Father Of His
Country objected to holding the baby while
Betsy made the fagl If he could have made
the flag himself, now-but no womanly
woman could sit by and see a man sew, still
less send him out into the night to do it by
himself
On the whole it may be considered lucky
for the suffrage cause that Betsy didn't set
George TO stitching up the red, white and
blue carpet rags. What a picture for anti
orators that would have been! Betsy was
in a tight place, but we think she chose
wisely and we'll A woman cannot neglect

Smoothing the Way.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In order to have peace the law makes
it necessary TO punish person for offending
against another This we do by sending him
to prison Because a man is sent to prison
he should not be shut Off from the oppor-
tunity Of learning a new life. Mr. Osborne
has the right idea Of the matter
It has been proven that brutality and fear
have not helped the situation. The way TO re
form a man is to show him his mistake and
make the method impressive. He perhaps
knows no other life, or perhaps conditions
have made him commit a crime. The
people who are able to assist him only try
TO keep him down by sneers and slurs. This
is plainly shown in "Alias Jimmy Valentine"
Mr.. Osbone's idea Of giving prisoners the
opportunity of coming in contact with peo-
pie who are willing to show them the right
way is to be praised. A baseball game with
good men cannot be censured. 1t creates
new principle which leads higher c0mpan-
ions in sports. A concert gives the man who
is inclined that way an opportunity TO meet
some one who will help him after his re
lease. lecture on advantages given in the
right way will surely improve some one.

Sir; Many Of your readers doubtless have
read or heard Of that unique incident at the

It is believed that this act led to the Ger

Frgnce being saved and to the whole war
situation being altered

of the Allies, will now be interested to learn
that the Irish private concerned is John Jo-
