JOSEPHINE KRYL HAS
old STRADlVARIUS
Father Trades Valuable Painting 20
John Mccormack for Instrument
Here Tonight.

Josephine Kryl, who with her faith
er, Bohumir Kryl, and her sister,
Marie, appears this evening in concert
at the A. G. armory, Is the owner of
real Stradvarius violin. How she
came by the instrument is an interest
ing story.
Bohumir Kryl, who is one of the
most successful band leaders in the
country. has developed a fondness for
oil paintings. His gallery in Chica-
go includes works valued at over
100000. ~----.
Recently John Mccormack purchas-
ed famous Stradivarius violin for
$4,000, which he highly priced. Short
ly after the purchase OF the "Strad"
he called upon Kryl at Chicago where
the pair discussed paintings and
painters. During his visit the Irish
tenor heard Miss Josephine Kryl, the
eldest daughter Of the band leader,
perform on the violin, and was so inn
pressed with her performance that he
mentioned the fact that he would like
to hear her play on the newly pur-
chased "Strad." KryI was at once
interested, and after learning that
Mccormack very much admired q
landscape "LeNid Gree" by Corot, the
famous artist, the band leader offered
to make an even exchange-the paint
ing for the Yiolin-remarking that the
Corot was purchased for the same
price as the violin-$12, ZOO. The sug-
geStion found favor with Mccormack
and the deal was completed, much to
the delight of Miss Kryl, who had for
several years longed for a violin
manufactured by the famous old
maker, but hardly dared to hope that
her dream would be realized.

Nebraska State Journal: Dayton, o.,
has been experimenting with the serv-
ices of purchasing agent. His name
is Smith, and he was chosen because he
had successful experience as purchas-
ing agent for large private corpora
ton. He gets $4,000 a year. BY fore
seeing the advance in structural steel
bridges ahead of time he saved the city
$50, 900. BY standardizing city supplies
and buying at the most favorable times
in the year he has saved the city thus
far upwards of $50, 900 3 year.
Two years ago Dayton was threaten
ed with q water famine. Its water sys-
tenn was running at loss. Increases
in water rates were deemed necessary.
An engineer named Barlow was i'm
ported to look after the city public
service department. Without increas-
ing rates, he has managed to supply the
city with plenty OF water and make a
genuine, not faxed, profit of $4,000 a
In two years the cost. of garbage
collection in Dayton has been. reduced
from $2.49 per ton to $1.60. Sanitation
and medical inspection have been i'm
proved and whether or not because of
this, the death rate has fallen from 1871
per 1000 to 13. Infant mortality has
decreased by 40 per cent. There have
been revolutions in the handling of
petty criminals. A budget system has
been developed under which the city is
paying as it goes and making inrNads
in the debts piled up in the past. Where
the city raises 81 more revenue than
before, it now gives about 81 more
service. 49,
It is not claimed that these many
gains have been due entirely to the
businesslike city organization which
Dayton has adopted-a board of trus-
tees administering the city through
trained manager who in turn works
through trained heads of departments
1t is known, however, that those things
could not have been done without such
a logical, effective system of doing
things. For 1t goes without saying that
piece of work calling for technical
knowledge and administrative ability,
n which class falls practically all NUM-
cipal administration, cannot be done
most efficiently except by men picked
up for their efficiency rather than for
their popularity. or politics. Business
organizations learned this long ago.
Political organizations are fast learn

All Of the companies OF the regi-

ground this last month=-meSs funds

when the boys were working, prepar-

since Thanksgiving the work has been
light, and therefore government
straight" has not killed them. Fresh
meat is not always obtainable on
time: One day this week, having no
fresh meat for three whole days, we
decided to give them French fried
spuds and tea-bone steaks, and be-
lieve me the way the boys went after
that meal. a person would think they
had been fasting for month. Ru-
be the last soldiers on these grounds,
that the lease has run out. and Mon
day the mess halls and kitchens will
be torn down. -
We threw a. scare into a bunch
lately, saying that forty-six cases of
hook-worm were found in the regi-
ment and that would delay the en-
trainment for two weeks. But, quail
flying that by the cheerful news that
the hook-worm hooks would be here
from the north in day or so.
Crepe hangers is what they call the
boys who do not believe the thousand

Everybody has to lead a Christian

cold rains fall and the dark clouds

will we be at Fort Smelling? Don't
ask me, but perhaps a few live valen-

at home. Lieutenant. Colley and Ser
geant Thorson had quail IN toast last
night. 1 do not know who killed the
birds but the genial lieutenant ate his
share. Human beings have not been
'in season" when we have been here,

FARMERS BEWARE


You are apt to be "stung" IL you
take the demonstration to be honest
of wild oat separators other than Hol-
lands. You will find in most cases
they will be using doctored or trained
grain, You may wonder what kind
of grain this is.-The demonstrators
will get the heaviest and largest grain
and mix with 1t the smallest and light
est wild oats procurable. They Will
grade this several times, and at each
grading they discard all the middle
sized grain, using only the largest and
the smallest This is called doctored
or trained grain, and is easily separat-
ed. This is used in demonstrating So
called wild oat separators. This fraud
in demonstration is the reason farm
ers have tried three to four kinds OF
so-ca1led wild oats separators with
poor results.
Watch the methods. Look up the
guarantee. Be sure. Why not buy
Holland Wild Dat separator which Is
absolutely guaranteed to separate all
wild oats from all grain? 1t will do
the business with grain just as 1t
comes from the threshing machine.

This action will be taken on q mere

cast. at the special election next Tues
day would be from the boys at the
Reserve Of1cers' Training camp at
Fort Smelling and members of the Ma
CARNATIONS, and consequently it must
be atakenr>that this1move is a. direct
slap at the desire of the soldier boys
to express their preference at the spe-

That absent voters ballots, permit
ting qualified electors to vote, will not
be counted at the special election of
July 10, was a statement made this
morning by Assistant Attorney Gem

Mr.. Bronson.

morning that he would continue tc
issue the ballots until he received def

Assistant Attorney General Bron-
