Normal School Sand and
Orchestra Concert PIeases

The second annual concert given
by the Normal School band and or
chestra was given last Thursday ev-
ening in the Normal school auditor
ium before a large and enthusiastic
audience.
The orchestra, directed by Mr..
Howard furnished the first half of the
program and played some excellent
selections.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard and Dorothy
Taggart played a very beautiful trio,
and Mr.. Howard gave one of his US
ual artistic solos.
The band directed by Mr.. Eller
finished the program with some very
fine selections, the marches being play
ed with a very lively and "peppery''
movement, and the overtures with a
smoothness and touch of color that is
not often shown in a school band.
Mr.. Eller played a very beautiful
and difficult cornet solo, followed by a
trombone solo by Almond Christensen
enchored by cornet and trombone
duet. Miss Genevieve O'Mara playing
the accompanyments on the piano.
Neil Reed gave a fifteen minute vaude
vile demonstration by playing the
piano, snare drum, mouth organ and
base drum at the same time, then COW
-ering the piano key board with e
blanket, blindfolded and wearing yarn
gloves he played lively rag time one
step, and finishing his part by playing
an imitation of a drum corps, arrang-
ed by himself.
Mr. Howard and Mr.. Eller are to be
congratulated on the excellent show
ing of the band and orchestra, as a
program Of this kind is indeed rare
treat.

to Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen, the lead
ing Republican member of the COM
mittee. He tells me that number
of bills have been introduced for mod
flying existing law, but that nothing
has come before the committee for
action, and he is on guard for the
dairy interests together with other
northwestern members, who are on
the Agricultural committee. Every
community is putting forth strong eff
forts to make a fine showing on the
Third Libe1oy Loan. In the last loan
stood at the head of all
the states in the Seventh Federal
Reserve District with subscription
of 155 per cent. of it's minimum al
lotment, while Illinois had 152 per
cent; Indiana, 122 per cent; and Iowa
Ill per cent. This is a proud record
for our state and one which we hope
may be held up during the present
drive for the new loan. Everybody
should do his or her bit to help the
loan.

Save the Wheat Crop

Eliminate the Tall Burberry Plant.
The greatest menace to the wheat
crop is rust. Every year more Oh
less injury results from this cause.
1t has been estimated that the annual
loss amounts to 10O,00O,000 bushels
of wheat. In these times food short
age is serious and this loss means a
great deal. The season has a great
deal to do with rust injury, but it is
caused by diseased spore. The
ideal place for this disease to pass
the winter is in the barberry plant.
It may pass the winter in the grass,
but it's progress in the spring is SO
slow from this source that very little
injury results from it. If the bar
berry plant is eliminated, rust in
jury will be very materially reduced
In Denmark great losses formerly
occurred from rust. A few years
after the elimination of the barberry
plant, losses from this source were
insignificant. North Dakota AND
Minnesota have state laws prohibit
ing the growing of barberry and laws
concerning the destruction of the
plant.
There are two kinds of barberry
that may be described as follows:
list. The dangerous kind. This
plant has purple leaves, grows from
three go ten feet high, has three
barbs at one place. The berries are
red to purplish and hang in clusters
This kind carries the rust.
End. The harmless kind. The
Japanese variety is low spreading
much branched shrub, two to foul
feet high, the branches bearing one
spine in place, with bright rec
berries hanging singly or in twos
This kind does not carry the rust anc
can be grown safely.
The elimination Of the barberry
plant is a war measure and it is urgeC
that schools, civic organizations ant
others seek to eradicate this plant
This should be done by May 1.

HOKE SMITHS REPLY
GIVEN HIGH PRAISE

ATLANTA.-Business men here
have read with much interest the
reply delivered in the Senate by SEN
ator Hoke Smith of Georgia to the
Republican attack on the Wilson adj
ministration for declining to fix a
price on cotton. 1t is now more
plainly apparent than ever that the
demand for government price fixing
of cotton has emanated all along
from the Republican members of the
House and Senate. The fact that
they are making it a party and sec
tional issue reveals the source of the
agitation quite clearly.
| In his speech Senator Smith went
into the cost of producing cotton,
i the present prices compared in this
country and abroad, and the prevail
ing prices of manufactured cotton
goods, most thoroughly and compre-
hensively.
He showed, in the first place, that
the cost of producing cotton, from
the best information he has been
able to gather in Georgia and other
states, has ranged this year between
Is and 40 cents a pound, the picking
alone having figured five cents a
pound. in many localities.
He showed that the cost of pro-
ducing wheat, on which the govern
ment guaranteed the wheat growers
very liberal minimum price, has not
increased in nearly such proportion
as the cost of producing cotton.
He showed that while the Repub-
licans have been loudly c1amoring for
a government price on cotton, they
have stoutly opposed every suggest
ion of fixing the other, as Senator
Smith showed, would be equivalent
to taking money out of the pockets
of cotton producers and placing it in
the hands of the cotton manufacture
ers as free gift or present, since
they could continue to sell their pro-
ducts at the highest prices the pub
lie would pay.
Discussing the recent announce,
ment by the War Industries Board
strongly iiitimating that the Board
itself, without any act of Congress,
would soon proceed to fix price
on cotton, Senator Smith showed
that this agitation Immediately drove
down the price of cotton, and the
market has not recovered even yet,
notwithstanding the subsequent de-
cision to let price-fxing alone. He
showed that this announcement by
; the War Industries Board will cost
! the farmers of the South in round
numbers $225,0O0,O00 if cotton re-
mains at the present low level to
which it was forced by the Board
price-fixing threat. He also showed
that while the Board might have the
authority to commander cotton for
the governments use at a price fixed
by the government, there is ma au-
thority either in the Board or even
in Congress itself to compel one
citizen to sell his cotton to another
citizen at fixed government price.
