morrow morning. Mrs. Grace Glen
denning. state president Of the or
ganization, will preside. The princi-
pal matter to come before the meet
ing Is the question redistricting the

vide the state according to the con-
grsssional districts, of which there
are three. The heads Of these new
districts will be named at this meet
ing. A county chairman will be aps

B. Anthony constitutional amend
ment.
Mrs. Elizabeth Darrow O'Neil Of
Fargo, state chairman Of the Con-
gressional Union, will attend the
meeting tomorrow. The state work

D OF Interest to Women D
Madame Carreno
Taught MacDowell

Edward MacDowell. who IL recog-
nized the world over as Americas 3
greatest composer, owes his early
success to his teacher, Madame Ter
esa Carreno. who is to appear No
vember 18 on the Wesley collge artist
course. Madame Carreno was among
the first to recognize MacDowell's un-
usual gift. and generously played his
compositions on all occasions. Whom
she decided to move to Berlin to live.
she realized that all that would be re-
Quired to establish her reputation for
all time with the German musical
public would be an engagement with
the Philharmonic orchestra under
Nikisch's baton. The engagement was
easily secured. but the rub came when
Carreno announced that she would
play MacDowell concerto, The
management informed her that the
Philharmonic society was too impor-
tant an organization to play the un-
known work Of an unknown Ameri-
can. Carreno replied: II play Mac
Dowell, or do not play" The result
was that she was allowed to play
Mcdowell with overwhelming sue
cess.
Madame Carreno will reach tho city
about Thursday, November 1e. and
will spend a couple of days here. Miss
Cordelia Hulburd, head of piano at
Wesley college conservatory, studied
under Madame Carreno at Berlin.
and is looking forward with great
deal of pleasure to her coming.

gTIT POINTS

The interest in suit-coats is ever in
creasing. The extremely long coat is
the new one. but as this type is most
unbecoming to the short figure, tho
coat Of shorter length is in vogue for
small women. 1t is. therefore,. quite
safe to say that both styles are in
vogue.
Among the dressy models there are
a few suits with very short coats, cut
with considerable f1are from tho
shoulders and falling in. ripple effect.
An exception to this style 10 the short
coat bslted in front. with fun back.
It. = easily understood that with
the extremely long suit-coat 1t would
be bad taste to wear D skirt worry
much trimmed. Consequently. tho
skirts accompanying the long coats
are very plain. Usually they are gath
cred at the waistline. although here
and there number have side pleats
or cluster pleats alternating With
plain pamela Pockets and bolts are

In spite Of this holdup of the

CONCERNING TEXAS
TENANT FARMERS
President Pope Of the Texas Farmers
Union Writes On This Important
Subject.

The tenant problem is most dis
tressing one and shows few symp-
toms OF Improvement. We have &C
cording to the best estimates availa-
BILE. an increase OF $500 tenant farm
ers last year and against this $500
farmers bought homes. Many Of those
purchasing farms are no doubt emf
grants and as nearly as can estimate
probably a net OF $500 farms pass
from owners to tenants per annum
which is equal to almost 10 per day.
So far we have had very little legis-
lation or business cooperation that
has reached the tenant farmer.
Probably the greatest relief afforded
the tenant farmer was when the Tex
as bankers declared In favor Of hold.
Ing cotton for IL cents per pound
The Federal reserve act which en-
ables the bankers to lend money al
6 per cent on cotton In storage brings
cheap money within the reach foI
holding cotton but the rural credit
act requiring that he pay so per cent
Of the value OF farm before he car
borrow money for home Is cleal
over his head. He needs money loan
ed on a much less equity. On his
crop and chattel mortgages he nov
pays 30 to so per cent interest rate
and II this were reduced to norma
II would buy many homes per annun
No farmer can overcome a 30 PEI
cent interest rate and II Is doubtful
II any considerable number Of farm
ers can survive a 10 per cent rate
The problem presents many Difficult
ties which can only be solved by tn,
cooperation OF the business interests
the farmers, the bankers and the mer
chants
