PREDICTS 1919 PANIC
AS PROSPERITY COST
Dean of Finance College Sees Trou-
blous Times Ahead.

A panic, riots and probably a revolu-
ton VIII be the price the United States
will pay for its present state of prosper
ity. according to remark made by Joseph
French johnson, dean of the New York
University School of Commerce, Accounts
and Finance, and Of the faculty of the
Alexander Hamilton Institute, in a lee
ture before the Washington Chapter
American Institute Of Banking last night
at the New Willard
He predicted that 1913 would be a panic
year which would be followed by two
about 1871 this country would start to re-
cover
Mr.. Johnson did not state the degree OF
the panic, but said that conditions would
depend largely upon the strength of the
Federal Reserve Banking System at that
time and the skill with which It was han
died.
He said that after the war this coun-
try's exports would come down with a
thud while the imports would be larger
mot for 80 years have the imports OF
this country been larger than its exports" {"
said Mr.. johnson.
He declared that the present imitation
OF prices and booming prosperity corre-
sponded to conditions accompanying the
civil war period. Mr.. johnson assigned
congestion of railway transportation, the
hiSl co'o "a Sio oSoSh VI 6oiu anu Udih
credits as some Of the reasons for the
present state Of affairs.
In speaking Of the railroads, he de-
clared, THE railways have been in bad
hands and the public is now suffering"
Better system of education was one of
the things which Mr.. johnson emphasized
as an offset for the impending panic. He
declared that people relied entirely too
much on the little red school house, ex-
Meeting that thew would turn ont some
more Lincolns.
Mr.: Johnson said that 30 per cent Of
the people did not Exercise their think

Horgan go on the Chautauqua plat
form, distinctly a bigger and broader
field than anything else which l
know? Well, Pm going, ard Pm so
happy over it all"
"She is certainly pleased" said Mr..
Horner upon his return from his east
ern trip, but no more so than ] am
to be able to present this charming
lady to Chautauqua audiences" Mr..
Homer declared that despite her 227
pounds she was very vigorous and vi
vacious.
Marie Horgan is lady Of bcauti-
full character, Of pleasing personality,
and is not only fine comedienne but
has a rich contralto voice and is Il
most capable singer The other prin-
cipals and members of the chorus in
the company, as well as the large or
chestra, are folks who excel in their
particular lines and are people of high
moral ideals, chosen according TO
Chautauqua standards and those who
have made national regulations for
themselves by their ability as singers
and players.
The coming Of "Pinafore" is but
one of the pleasant surprises for the
Chautauqua patrons this year and as
soon as the program has been defin-
itely arranged, full particulars will be
published. The great keynote Of the
seasons program will be patriotism
and the decorations will be appropri-
ate. the American flag being promin-
emily displayed. Happiness and com
munity development will be kept in
mind throughout the program, which
is going to be bigger, more balanced
more brilliant, brighter and better
than ever before.

Inside Story of the FOrty-six Pound
Heifer


The first verification test on the
new worlds record phenomenon, Fan
cher Farm Make l86369, owned and
raised by Mr. A. 7. Fancher Of Sala-
manca, N. Y, was completed in sat
isfactory condition on Tuesday, Jan.
%, and her record as senior four
year-old Of 46.S43 pounds Of butter in
seven days stands as a world record
at her age and second highest in the
world over all classes and breeds. On
account Of her continued high lroduc-
ton an additional retest was ordered
on January 26.
visited Fancher farm on Thursday
Of this week TO take a look It this
remarkable COW and study the condi-
tons under which the record was
made. 1 found every man on the farm
filled with a quiet citation at thc
achievement No other cows were on
test at the time, although there are a
number Of others which are to be
tested in the spring. l found a won
dcrful herd and wonderful milk
producing and breeding plant.
Fancher Farm Make is of course,
the center Of interest at this time.
When / visited the farm the COW was
still in the box stall where she had
been during the 10 or ~ days of test
and notification. AS you see the COW
coming down the long stable, she does
not look either the size or weight
which the scales and the tape show
that she has. She is very black, more
than three quarters, and Is short leg
ged and stocky, not a show type.
Farm Manager Hubbell says, how
ever, that she weighs over 1850, which
is a very heavy weight for a COW IN
der five years.
All sense Of her not being a full
sized COW disappears when the OBJ
server steps in beside Of her, and
particularly when you get a look at
her hip and udder development. She
is very broad across the nip bones,
rawboned, a "block" of a cow. Her
peculiar blocly conformation stands
out distinctly. The next impression
one gets Of her, is the "feel" of her
