Banks Are Prosperous.

I'm talking with bankers including
J. L. Raines, president of the Kansas
State Bankers association, I find that
Kansas banks are very prosperous and
have a large amount of money on
hand which they are anxious to loan
farmers and others for the purpose of
holding their grain upon the present
indicated values. This in connection
with the car -shortage intimated by re-
ports of railroad people, will I'M

CARE OF vIOLINS
Keep Them Away From Dampness,
Says EIIman.

Valuable violins require close at
tention. At least that is what Mischa
Elman, famous violinist who will ap-
pear at the Grand tonight, has learned
Il you have a violin worth $40, 900
do not wash it with soap and water:
also by no means take it to the sea-
shore, even if you have no intention of
giving it a dip in the surf, violins are
poor water birds, and merely the
presence of a rain storm in the next
town upsets them frightfully.
Mischa Elman, the young Russian
violinist, happens to be the owner of
several valuable instruments, among
them a genuine Stradivarius, in a way
priceless, but valued for commercial
purpose at $4,000. Last summer. Ell
man and his family took a house on
the Jersey coast at Avon where the
young genius has been enjoying a va
cation; with him went the treasured
violin, but after two days the damp
atmosphere began to undermine it's
health and Elman Immediately hur-
ried back to New York to consult a
well known violin maker. On the ad-
vice of this authority, the violin was
put safely away in the vaults of the
Corn Exchange bank, where it had
vacation of its own, and was in good
trim for a strenuous concert sason this
winter
