Miss WinOna McLatchey's Success
Miss Winona McLatchey, who was
instructor of music in the Abilene

work met with much approval and
success is this year teaching at lola.
The following account of a concert
tells of her popularity there: The
concert given by Prof. H. w. Cow
ans and Miss Winona McLatchey at
the Presbyterian church for the
benefit of the high school athletic
association, was a decided success.
1t is not often that home talent
can be found for such an entertain
ment, but both Mr.. Gowans and Miss
McLatchey, already popular with
those who know them, made friends
of those who were hearing them for
the first time. Mr. Gowans gave the
greater part of the program. Miss
McLatchey acted as his accompan-
list throughout the program and
succeeded well in that most diff
cult work. Between the groups of
vocal numbers she gave piano solos.
First she played Schumann's Grill
LEM" and after the second group
the prelude in E Minor" by Mac
Dowell. Both of the numbers were
played with briIliance and finish

The Topeka state journal., 1916-11-20

New York City's commissioner of
weights and measures is the father of
at least an original idea as to the
causes of the high cost of many of the
staple food products. He asserts that
the western farmers underestimated
their crops in the reports they submit
ted to the federal government and
thereby forced up the prices of wheat,
potatoes, onions and cabbage. He says
further that the farmers knowingly
concealed at least rs per cent of their
wheat crop, which surplus has been
held in reserve to be dumped into a
market supposedly short many mill
lions of bushels, at a price otherwise
unobtainable. This is all very interest
ing, but it scarcely stands the test be-
cause such a conspiracy among the
farmers could only be Matched thru
the medium of an elaborate organiza-
ton. and this is something that the
farmers of the nation haven't effected

mate $500. 100000 against $4,334,-
Ooe. 900 in the fiscal year 1916 and
$S54s. 100000 in the calendar year
1915.
This large increase in the foreign
commerce of the country is not entire
ly due to increased quantities of ner-
chandise entering or leaving its ports.
The fact, for example, that wheat,
which was exported in November.
1915. at s1.1s per bushel. is now quot
ed in the New York markets at s2.00
per bushe1 suggests that the compare
lively small quantity of wheat now be-
ing exported probably represents quite
as large a value as did the larger
quantities exported at this time year
ago. Cotton was being exported this
date one year ago at IL cents per
pound; now it is quoted in the New
York markets at approximately Is
cents. Copper ingots. of which the ex-
port price in June, 1916, was 27.5
cents per pound, were exported at an
average of 17.s cents per pound in
June, 1915. Sole leather, now being
exported at 40 cents per pound, was
a year earlier only 80 cents; and
canned beef exported in August at 23.7
cents per pound went in August of
the preceding year at 16 cents. Iron
and steel billets exported in August
at $56.40 per ton went in August of
last year at $21.92, and structural iron
and steel exported in August of the
current year at $6o.40 per ton was ex-
ported in August of last year at $3.50.
The increase in total imports is also
largely due to advance in prices. Raw
silk imported in August at $4.60 per
pound was imported in August of the
preceding year at $2.73 per pound
Jute and jute butts imported in June,
1916, at $93.51 per ton, came in the
preceding September at $3.50, while
goat skins imported in August, 1915,
at 34.7 cents per pound came in Au-
gust of the preceding year at 90
cents.
