come and not yield to the impulse
to plant more cotton. One of the
greatest needs during 1916 will be
the necessity of good feed crop, is
the opinion of Judge Ramsey and
many other business men. If the
season will not permit the planting OF
a good corn crop, then the surplus
acreage should be devoted to other
feed crops.-Dallas News.

came to this country when quite
young. For a number OF years he
was employed by prominent cattle
men about Woodford and Glenn, and
while there made the acquaintance
of many friends, who learned of his
sterling worth. A few years ago he
came to this city and has been in
the employe of j. ]. Stolfa as a sales
man since that time.
Mr. Grant has never aspired to pub
lie office, but is amply qualified to
FIJI that one to which he aspires.
He is we'll known to all business men
of the city, who will youch for his
integrity.
In seeking this Office, Mr.. Grant
does not do so at the expense of any
other candidate. He says he wants
to hold the office, and is qualified to
do so: for all his opponents he has
the kindliest feeling, but he hopes
to triumph over all Of them.

Another prominent banker said
that considerable of the acreage that
would be planted in corn under fa-
vorabIe conditions can be planted in
sweet potatoes very prolitably He
had just received a communication
from Longview to the effect that one
farmer there realized last year $4,000
from sixty acres of sweet potatoes,
and that he will devote more than 200
acres to that crop this year.
Situation Not Grave.
It is the opinion that at present
the corn planting season is not suf-
ficently advanced to make the situa-
ton grave, but that it will become
so in a week or ten days if Texas
receives no rainfall in the meantime.

INCREASE IN

ACE IS RISKY
BANKERS AND BUSINESS MEN
WARN FARMERS THAT IT
WOULD BE ECONOMIC OlSAs-
TER.

Unless the individual farmers of
Texas resolve that they viii not per
nit il, the present protracted drouth
in the state, which viii have a ten
dency to reduce the corn acreage be
cause of unfayorable conditions dur
ing the planting season of that crop,
may tend materially to increase the
cotton acreage and Offset much that
has been done to reduce the acreage
of that commodity through diyersiii-
cation campaigns.
This is the opinion Of number
of Dallas bankers and business men,
who fear that the acreage which
would have been devoted to an in
creased corn crop under favorable
conditions may be planted in cotton,
since with most Texas farmers the
stable crops are corn and cotton, and
reduction in the acreage OF one
means an increase in the acreage Of
the other. And. in the opinion of
these same bankers and business men.
who are in close touch with the agri-
cultural situation, if an increase in
cotton acreage should result, it would
be little short of an economic disas-
ter
Steps have been taken, therefore,
by the agricultural committee of the
Texas Bankers association and by
the Texas industrial congress to warn
the farmers that it is to their own
interest as well as to the financial
prosperity of Texas that they devote
any surplus acreage they may have
as a result of small corn crop be-
cause of dry weather in the corn
planting season, to other feed crops
and that none of it be devoted to
cotton.

Where Germany Leads

One lesson of the war that has made
an indelible impression upon English
observers is the hopeless disadvant-
age of the English people as compared
with Germans because of their i'm
practical education. The English have
been trained to know Greek and Latin
and political science and theology.
The Germans, on the contrary, are
educated utiitarians. They have been
trained to turn waste into wealth
Their chemists have not only English
chemists but all other outsiders, at a
disadvantage in being able to get out
of raw material unheard of substance
of finished products, which have given
them conceded commercial mastery in
many particulars. The blockade OF
German ports has created famine in
the markets for certain dyes, eX-
plosives, fertilizers, and fabrications
of metals and fibers which they alone
knew how to produce at salable prices.
They have brought the art of making
war to most horrible and cruel per
fection.
We, in the United States, have to a
great extent followed on after the Eng
IIish pattern in our educational meth
ods. The sooner we shall profit by the
German example and insist upon thor

the better for the country at large.
We are always engaged in industrial
warfare: but whether we fight for
or defense, for conquest or
commerce, the best preparedness lies
in a general knowledge Of how to do
things. Therein stands forth the admit
ted demonstrated superiority OF the
German nation.-Philadelphia Record.

AROMoRE CITIZENS SHOULD CON-
GRATULATE THEMSELVES THAT
GREAT ORGANIZATION is TO
BE HERE.

The business men who have backed
the Chamber Of Commerce to secure
the Great New York Philharmonic
Orchestra for two concerts in this city
are making preparations for a v!gor'
Gus advertising campaign and will
soon have paper up in all surround
ing towns. Already inquiries are
coming in relative to the advance
sale of tickets, and it will be we'll
for all who intend to hear these two
concerts to make their reservations
early.
The oldest organization of its Kind
in America the Philharmonic Society
of New York enters upon its seventy
fourth season this year. Founded in
1912, the playing of this institution
has each year kept pace with the
highest ideals and aims of the men
who founded it three quarters of cen
tury ago. The New York Philhar-
monte is the third oldest Organiza-
ton of its kind in the world, only
the London Philharmonic and the
Vienna philharmonic having been or
ganized previously.
1t was in 1912 that a little body
of thirty-seven professional musicians
met in the Apollo rooms in Manhat-
tan and founded a society which had
for its object "the advancement Of
instrumental music and production OF
number of concerts each year of
much higher order than have ever
before given in this city" The rise
of the philharmonic has been steady
all these years. Yet it has been IN
the last seven years that the orches'
ira has really attained its dominating
position. In this period the number
of New York concerts of the Phll-
harmonic has been increased from
sixteen to over fifty, the number OF
cities visited on tour during the win
ter season from ten to over forty.
This season finds the Philharmonic
81 eolipped that it is today regarded
as an orchestra without superior in

Stransky is a fit successor OF the
| famous conductors who have led the
philharmonic in years gone by, the
outstanding figures in musical history
in this country and Europe. The
first philharmonic conductor OF in

who was so instrumental in introduc-
ing the music of Wagner to symphony
orchestras in America. Then 1oT

as the man who did not more than
anv other individual in spreading the
love of music throughout the United
States. Anton Seidl, for four years
private secretary to Richard Wagner
succeeded Thomas, and led the Phil
harmonic for eight years. Numbered
among the other world-iigures whc
have conducted the philharmonic are
Colonne, the French master; WassiIS
Safonoff, Russia's most celebrated or
chestral leader; Richard Strauss, the

mates in the crowded sections of the up
per East Side last night when she played
on the sidewalk with them wearing, detec-

chain with a gold clasp. AS she romped
and played, a tall man asked her where
her mother could be found She told him
her mother was cooking for Mr.. A. An
derson, at No. 375 Park avenue. Half an
hour later Mrs. Ahrens was arrested there
charged with the larceny of 5000 worth
Of jewelry and Mildred was sent to the

delinquency.
The arrests were made by Gerard Luisi

Matthews, wife of a silk manufacturer of
Cedarhurst, L. I. Mrs. Matthews alleged
that she employed Mrs. Ahrens as a cook
on September Is through an agency and
permitted her to bring her daughter, Nil

CAPITAL FORCES Unite

WashingtoRs fight for the proposed

Association and the Board of Trade prob
ably will Join hands with the Chamber
Of Commerce in their efforts to bring the
project here.
At the meeting Of the directors Of the
Merchants Association. NJ. A Jeese, vice
president OF that body, will introduce a
resolution directing the secretary to send
letters outlining Washington's claims to
the President, Secretary of War, Secre-
tary Of Navy and to members OF the
House and Senate naval committees.
The Real Estate Brokers Association
also has signified its intention to aid IN
the fight George Y. Worthington is pres
ident OF the organization.
With these organizations, together with
the District Commissioners, behind the
local movement the Capital seems certain
to wage an effective campaign.
Final action as to the selection Of a
site will not be taken until after October
10, when Alexandria's claims will be
heard by the Board Of Selectmen. Follow
ing this hearing the site will be chosen
by a process Of elimination.
While all Washington interests are try
ing to place Washington at the head in
the running for the plant. a number of

lection Of Alexandria would be in indirect

MOTOR CARS ASSEMBLED
AT TOP SPEED ON STAGE

A vaudeville novelty comes to the Cos
mos this week. 1t is labeled the Speed
Mechanics" but this title does not do
justice to the act. In fact, there seems
to be no phrase that adequately describes
this headliner. Two teams of picked me-
chanics- race to assemble two Fords from
a mass Of parts, with a time limit of
three minutes. To the motorist who has
fused with a recalcitrant spark plug or
punctured tire and wasted half an hour or
so on this one little detail the act is
especially interesting. To take a mass of
gears, bolts, wheels, axels and the hun
dred and one other parts of a car and
completely assemble them into a chugging
auto, ready to take a spin, in less than
three minutes Is a mechanical feat that
presents a vaudeville novelty.
The cars provided for the test are from
the stock of Robey & Mangum. local
Ford distributors, at 1929 L street north
west They differ in nowise from the
regular stock Ford cars. IN order to
demonstrate that there is no &rick, but
merely skill, in the act the Speed Me-
chanics" offer to make any repairs
Cbroken axels and such serious breaks
excepted, on cars brought to the stage
door of the Cosmos Theater free OF

CAPITAL ALMOST FREE
OF INFANTILE PLAGUE
Only Three Cases Now Under Treat
ment in Washington.

The infantiIe paralysis scourgs prac-
tically has died out in Washington, &C
cording to a statement made yesterday
by Health Officer Woodward. Only one
case has been reported in two weeks.
That was last Monday. Only two other
cases are under treatment at this time.
Whether the cold weather will put an
end to the ravages Of the disease the
health officer was unable to say. He
intimated that II is not unlikely that the
epidemic will reappear on the approach
Of next summer.
The theory advanced by DR.. Hazeh
Emerson, of New York, that the plague
is communicated by the rat flea was not
given much weight by DR.. Woodward.
He said that as far as he could deter
mine there Is no connection between the
rat flea and the plague.
Surgeon Carol Fox, one Of the leading 9
authorities Un the elusive lea," refused
to make any comment on the theory Of
the New York official. The fact that 1eas
were in great measure responsible for
the spread Of the bubonic plague in
New Orleans has led to the suspicion
that they had something to do with the
infantile paralysis epidemic, but, despite
the experiments which have been made,
physicians have not advanced beyond the
stage Of conjecture in the matter.
