EXPLAINS REGULATION
 ON HANDLING WHEAT
FOOD ADMINTRAToR coRREcTs FALSE IMPRESSION THAT 4 FARMER CANNOT HOLD MORE THAN 90 DAYS SUPPLY.

J. Nj. Hewitt, food administrator for Lee county. stated to the Cour- ier-Index editor yesterday that many farmers in the county were laboring under the false impression that the government would not permit them to keep on hand more than enough wheat to supply their families with flour for a period of thirty days. Mir. Hewitt had been informed that some farmers who had contemplated sowing wheat this year were about to give up the idea because of this misimpression. The rulings of the federal food administrator are to the effect that any farmer who rais- es his own wheat should keep enough grain on hand to make flour for himself and those whom he sup plies; in addition to this amount he should keep enough for seed pur- poses and If he has any surplus he may sell it to other farmers for seed purposes. The only restriction plac- ed upon the handling of wheat is that farmers are asked not to grind at any one time more than enough for a thirty days supply of flour. The reason for this restriction is that the flour deteriorates and there is necessarily more or less waste when the grain is converted into flour. The government, therefore, requests the farmer to keep his sup ply of flour in the whole grain, and convert it into flour each month as his demands necessitate.

AUER, VIOLINTST, WILL
COME To AMERICA

Leopold Auer. a musician whose
name is to vioIinists what LeschetiZ
ky's was to pianists the world oyer,
Is to leave Russia and make his home
in New York during the war A cable
dispatch to that effect was received
recently by his pupil, Jascha Heifetz,
saying that Auer would probably
come to America next February. The
veteran teacher, who was born in
Hungary in 1915, educated at Buda
pest and Vienna, and finally at Berlin
under Joachim, became a professor at
the Petrograd Conservatory and re
ceived from the late Gar the oroer
Of st. Vladimir, carrying with ii
hereditary nobility IN Russia. His
earlier pupils, Elman and Zimbalist,
as well as Kathleen ParIOw, a Cana
dian. and others, have long since made
Auer famous in America.
Later reports have added that the
master would arrive here with Max
ROsen. New York lad once heard in
Cooper Union five years ago, and sent
abroad to the PetroErad master by
the late T.. J. De COppet, patron Of
the FlOnzaley Quartet. These rumOrs,

Very cleverly, Mr.. Godowsky says,
at is unfortunate that artists have
to state a program so long ahead of

we cannot really decide in advance
whether we shall be in the mood for

any more than we could, weeks

We wouldn't know whether our

be in a condition to enjoy and as

GREAT RUB|NSTEIN
UNSPAR|NG CRITIC
OF OWN PLAYING

From time to time there still arise
discussions among music lovers, who
can look back upon the enviabls ex-
perience OF having heard both Liszt
and Rubinstein In their youth, as to
which OF those great masters OF the
pianoforte was the more consummate
artist. An absolutely satisfactory
answer to the question can scarcely
be expected, but in general slight
advantage, albeit a not undisputed
one. Is conceded to.Liszt.
It has often been recorded that Ru-
binstein not infrequently struck
wrong notes when playing in pubIics
an assertion that some of his admirers
have been prompt to challenge, while
at the same time considering such a
characteristic as of secondary import
ance anyway. But that the great Rus
sian pianist did not condone this, de-
feet in his playing II pointed out IN
the Vita Musicale by Thedor Lesehet--
izky, who was not only a pupil. but
a friend as well, OF Rubinstein. The
veteran pedagogue tells OF the extra&
ordinarily developed and absolutely
merciIess capacity for self-critfcIsm
that RubInstein possessed ana invar-
iably employed He demanded more.
OF himself than Of any one else, and
in judging his own work he would en-

He was himself fully aware that in
his eager zest IN playing he frequent
y struck false notes, and he never
spared himself hitter reproacheS
Lescsetizlxys describes q chGracteria-
tic scene at the close Of concert at
which Rubinstein had played with ir-
resistible fire, and had achieved an
unexampIed triumph. When the au

like a wild man, fled to the artists
room, and there, in complete despair,

OPERA IN HONOR
OF FPERSHING SETS
EXAMPLEFORU US.

A few days ago one read in the
daily papers the inconspicuous news
item that Gen. John ]. Pershiag, com
nauder of the American forces IN
France, and his stan would attend
a special performance given in their
honor at the Paris Grand Opera.
Now doesn't this apparently so in
significant announcement invite com
parison between the United States
as a musical country and the Eu-
ropean powers? Just let us stop to
consider for a momentT Here we are.
living in an era of interchange Of
emissaries. Back and forth they
pass, in spite of Germany's unre-
stricted submarine campaign: from
England, France, Russia, and Italy TO
the States. and, vice versa, from here
to the European countries. Our sec
ond military csntingent has arrived
on the other side. And in the midst
of all these belligerent preparations
and operations amid all this atmos-
phere of unprecedented warfare, GER
tainly not very conducive to the cul
tivation OF the arts. the French nation
finds the time and the inclination to
arrange a special opera performance
to honor our military contingents
through their generalissimus and his
stan.
And what is it we do under similar
circumstances When the Italian
Royal Commission arrives, we reiin-
quish a concert that was planned and
compromise by inviting the italian
deputation from the land of song to
a performance of Ziegfeld's Follies.
The concert arranged by the New
York Italian Societies may be waived
as being irrelavent to a distinctly
American program of reception. Is
this the best we can do? Does not our
musical development and culture here
seem rather embryonic when COM
pared to the aforesaid wartime gala
performance given at the Paris Grand
Opera to honor our soldiers in France?
AS a matter OF fact. We are really
not as yet actively engaged in this
war-but already we begin to treat
the musical feature OF the reception
program as very much of a quantite
neGligeable.

MAX|S ONE GRAND
WRITER OF FICTION

One OF fg;ngland's more gifted story
writers. wha has diverted his talents
latterly into the channel of music hall
reviews. has felt prompted to take up
the cudgels in support Of ragtime in
a London paper. Max Pemberton is
an author bf wide Tepute. but when
he sets out TO discuss music. or even
near music, he recalls character in
one OF the Gilbert and Sullivan operas

There is no more reason why rag

should abandon the waltz. De.

As reJoindeT the Musical News

superior people Of by that he means

edgeD 10 not hate raGtime because il
is new. "On the contrary. they are
rather bored with il because il is old.
