BLIND PIANIST COMING
Edward Baxter Perry Will Play at
Complimentary Recital.

Edward Baxter Perry, the famous
blind pianist. will play at the Compli-
mentary Recital for the musical public
of Topeka. No admission fee will be
charged. According to Dean White
house. there is a considerable part of
the entertainment fund of the Wash
burn fine arts department left un-
touched and this will be used to bring
Perry here for a big free recital.
Edward Baxter Perry is probably
the best known blind musician since
the days of Blind Tom. Blind from
birth Perry has yet become one of the
foremost pianists in the world, and
has acquired additional fame as a
writer and lecturer on musical sub
jects. His favorite type of concert is
the "lecture-recital." He analyses the
pieces on his program so interestingly
and Understandings that the meaning
and plan of the number become en-
tirely clear to the musical ignorant.
According to the critics his playing
is distinguished by remarkable poetic
feeling and imagination. Although
blind there is no lack of sureness in

Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glyCerine to check the Inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
SCOTS is pleasant to take.

burned,
As home his footsteps hath turned,
Dead broke
If such there breathe, go, mark him
well,
He's looney.
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High tho his titles proud his name,
He's never bucked this living game,
With prices boosted to the sky,
With everything bloOmin' high,
Nay. nay. not he, of boundlesS wealth,
Despite his titles, power, and pelf,
You can't cash titles these cold days,
For grocery men have funny ways,
So, to vile dust from whence he came,
Ditch that sucker he can't cash fame,
The only thing that counts these days,
Is coin real coin, the kind that pays.
Real hope may be taken by the con-
sumner if the opinions of local dealers
count They are of the opinion that
prices for all food stuff have about
reached their high level and that with
the exception of a rise in a few cases
there will be no general advance.
When asked for the basis for such
opinion they state it is their belief
that prices are about as high as the
public will stand. Indications are that
sugar will advance this week. Straw
berries, this morning, are costing the
dealers more than last week and the
decline of last week may be lost early
this week for an advance is looked for.
Texas vegetables are coming to To-
peka market in goodly quantity now
and this should work toward lower
market.
Many people can not understand
about the price of sugar. In Cuba the
sugar trust absolutely controls the
market and it may interest some to
know that there is not a pound OF
sugar refined on the island. 1t all
must first be shipped to this country
and be refined, then it is re-shipped
to Cuba. The sugar planters are at
the mercy of the trust just as much
as is the Kansas wheat grower at the
mercy of Chicago. They have no more
to do with it. Usually the Cuban SUI
gar planter has his crop mortgaged
in advance. The money comes from
the trust furnished by a local man
on the island. The story of just how
this is worked is an interesting one
from the consumers standpoint.
Meats of all kind are gradually
climbing and butchers state it will not
be long until they will be forced to
raise the price of steaks and roasts.

PUT IN THEIR CROPS EARLY.
Marshall County Farmers Are Weeks
Ahead With Their Work.

MarysviIle, Kan. April S.-Every
farmer in this section says the
month just closing has been the most
favorable for spring farm work they
have ever experienced in Kansas. The
ground was in excellent condition for
spring blowing, and the weather has
been such that farm work could be
carried on practically every day in
the month. The result is that every
farmer is far ahead of any former
year with his spring work.
Oats sowing has been done and the
entire acreage of this crop has been
in so long that most farmers have
forgotten about it. Spring wheat Is
making a splendid growth, the crop is
stooled out in fine shape and every
thing promises a big crop of wheat
The soil is full of moisture and If
the present open weather continues,
corn planting will be started earlier
than usual this spring. The fruit crop
seems to have come through the win
ter in good shape and the cold wealth
er of last Saturday does not appear
to have damaged the buds any.

men and Trainmen, asking that an
eight-hour schedule be the basis in
stead of ten hours.
In the course of his talk Mr.. Martin
explained that the eight-hour basis
did not mean less hours for the train =
men, but that inasmuch as time ana
half was allowed for all overtime,
it virtually meant a substantial raise
in salaries. Trainmen, he said, were
the highest paid of any employees of
the Rock Island system.

IN WASHBURN PLAY
''You Never Can Tell'' in Matinee and
Evening, Monday April 8.

"a Broadway production by a
Washburn cast is the way the Wash
burn Dramatic club is announcing
their annual spring comedy. you
Never Can Tell" April 8. Special
scenery has been painted by Hampton
Shirer and Frank Peers, the two To-
peka boys whose designs and scenic
created such a sensation.
An opportunity to get acquainted
with world famous genius will be
given by the play. You Never Can
Tell" is one of the most laughable and
clever of the plays of George Bernard
Shaw. Special souvenir programs
containing sketch of Shaw's life, his
own criticism of his own work, his
descriptions of the scenes and charac-
tiers in the comedy will be presented
by the Dramatic club.
The play will be presented matinee
and evening, April 8. The cast has
been practicfng for nearly two months
and it is expected that the play will be
put over with professional punch
Shaw's reputation as a literary and
dramatic critic is world wide in ex-
tent. He is an able, vigorous thinker
in the field of sociology and political
science. His pre-eminence as a dra-
matist needs no comment. Shaw has
come to possess an ethical and social
significance as a champion of modern
liberalism. An irrepressible sense of
the ridiculous a keen and flashing
blade of satire, peculiar method OF
symboliZation, at once poetic and gro
tesque, are the weapons with which he
makes war upon the middle-class pro-
pincialism of his fellow Angle-Saxons.
acknowledgements = intolerance
and hypocrisy, are the Evil Giants
against which this Knight of Mod
ernism is always fitting.
