Love Of Music Strange
Feature OF New Russia
tBy Associated Pressl

LONDON, May 30.-One of the
most interesting phases of life in Rus
sla since the revolution has been the
passion for music displayed by the
masses of the people. Albert Coates,
an Englishman who has just returned
from Petrograd where for years he
was one of the principal conductors
of the Imperial Opera, says the Rus
sian proletariat throngs theatres and
concerts.
The educated music-loving public of
former days has almost entirely disap-
peared. Mr.. Coates says. The one that
has taken its place is a new public con-
sisting Of workpeople, peasants, SOL
diers and sailors.

revolution" he went on, 1.-The force Of
the proverb, Music hath charms to
soothe the savage beast for whatever
the people do in the political and So
cial sphere-and their record is pretty
bad-at concerts and at the opera they
sit as reverently as though they were
: in church, and listen with the rapt ex-
preston of children to whom fairyland
is suddenly revealed.
1T has often happened that after a
concert some simple peasant has risen
and formally thanked me and the or
chestra for the pleasure we had given
them. Often, after symphony, a
group Of workpeople have crowded
round me and asked to have explained
things in the music they had not I'M
derstood. They showed a marked pref
erence for modern and complicated
music, infinitely preferring it to the
older and simple forms of Russian
music. Their special favorite, strange
rs 1t may seem, is Scriabin, and after
a performance of this composers

DEMOCRATS PRAISE
WILSON WAR RECORD
(By Associated Press,

CHICAGO, May 3O-Membe rs Of the
Democratic national committee closed
a two-day session last night by adopt
ing a declaration offered by H. P.
Quinn, national committeeman from
Rhode Island, reviewing the achieve
ments Of President Wilson and the
Democratic congresses and urging sup
port of all independent and progressive
voters in the 1920 campaign to per-
petuate these policies.
The statement after mentioning the
constructive and progressive legisla-
ton passed by the last Democratic
Congress approves President Wilson's
conduct of the war, and concludes as
follows:
Within twenty years our nation I'M
der Republican administration con-
Quoted foreign war. The record of
that party in that war is still matter
of current reading and of public dis
cussion. We simply ask the people to
draw their own conclusions as to
which party served its country best in
war and peace. No American presi-
dent, with the possible exception of
Abraham Lincoln, was ever so persist
emily, purposely and in many instances
maliciously misrepresented and ma
llsucu, dS ouI great leduSi AdS ueSA'
and we believe that as he parallels
Lincoln in that respect, SO will the
future history of our country view his
accomplishments with the same high
esteem as those Of the great emanci-
pator.
"As the first national political or
ganization to record itself in favor
of woman suffrage and as the first
to welcome the women into full par
ticipation in party councils, we de-
plore and condemn the dilatory tactics
of the Republican party in the closing
hours of the last session of Congress
which resulted in the failure Of the
suffrage resolution at time when
its proponents were assured of the
requisite number of votes to accom-
plish it's passage.

GREAT ARMY NEEDED
FOR KANSAS HARVEST
(By Associated Press)

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 30.-An
army OF more than 200. 900 men will be
required to harvest the giant wheat
crop in Kansas this year, according to
A. L. Barkman. director Of harvest
work, United States employment SER
vice. Sixty thousand OF this number
must come from outside the state.
In making the estimate, he referred
to the report of the Kansas board of
agriculture, issued last month. which
said that with a general average con-
dition Of 1892 per cent on an esti-
mated total of 1879 ZOO acres Of grow
ing winter wheat, Kansas never had
more fiattering prospect for a record
smashing CROP"
The harvest labor problem In Kan
sas Is more difficult than in any other
state and $1,000 posters have been dis
tributed among government buildings
throughout the nation. While 500 let
tiers day are received here from pros
pective workers, Barkman said many
who write will not come, and that
most careful distribution will be neces-
sary to prevent labor shortage.
Wheat cutting usually starts in the
south central counties Of Kansas about
June 15 to 20, reaching the central
part of the state ten days later. The
demand for men increases as the har-
vest district broadens
Men should, If possible, provide
themselves with sufficient funds to
tide them over for few days in case
of rains or unavoidable delays in Sc
curing work." said Barkman. The
harvest fields do not offer light work
and the sun Is often exceedingly hot.
Therefore, boys and men who are I'M
used to heavy work are handicapped
III securing employment in competi-
tion with able-bodied experienced
men"
Missouri can care for its big wheat
crop with local labor, Barkman said.
Nebraska and states north will be sup
piled with harvest labor by the drift
of men from Kansas, If that state, the
center of the wheat belt, has suff1-
Gent supply.

EDUCATION TO
Be OFFERED IN
REGULAR FORCE
Plans Outlined to Make u. S.
Standing Army Huge Uni
versity for Soldiers.
fBy. Associated Press)

PARIS, May 30.-A great new edu-
cational force In the shape of the
American regular army will come into
being in the United States in the near
future II the present plans of govern
ment officials army officers and prom
inent civilian educators are realized.
Briefly, 1t Is proposed to make
Uncle Sans standing army a huge
university in which the young men OF
the country will receive not only phys
zeal and military training, but will be
given opportunities to acquire aca-
demic and vocational learning which
might be beyond their reach in civil
life. The old days of virtual wastage
of time which represented almost
blank pages in the life diary OF the
soldier will be thing of the past. In
stead Of being turned back into civil
life in more helpless state than when
he entered the army he will equipped
to wage vigorous fight for his place
in the sun of the business or profes-
sional world
Demonstrated In France.
The possibilities of this plan have
been demonstrated In the wonderful
work done during the past few months
by the Educational Commission in the
American Expeditionary Force In
France. Since the signing Of the arm
istice something like $50, 900 American
soldiers have been appreciably bene-
flied by the army schools, which have
been put within the reach of every
man and which have provided facili-
ties to study almost every conceiv-
able subject from farming to phil
osophy. Few of the educators in
France realized at the outset how
great work they we're starting. The
avidity with which the enlisted man
and his officer have seized upon the
proffered opportunities has astonished
them.
With this object lesson before 1t,
the army has been inspired to carry
on this work at home in the standing
forces. The project assumes, it is un-
derstood, that the standing army Of
the future will be a comparatively
large one, and that there may be
short period of compulsory training
for the youths of the country. although
the scheme is not dependent upon the
compulsory feature.

Kill Potato Bugs By Early
Spraying, Says Expert

Do not let potato bugs destroy your
crop this year, is the warning issued
today by Garden Supervisor F. w.
Wester
The beetles are probably waiting in
your garden or potato field now and
will attack the young plants almost as
soon as they appear above ground. in
a few days the vines will be practical
~ destroyed.
These pests should be controlled as
early, as possible before the adult
beetles get chance to lay many eggs
or feed to any extent on the leaves.
The young that hatch from these eggs
will do more damage even than the
adults. As soon as the plants are a
few inches high, spray them thorough
ly with powdered Arsenate of Lead,
at the rate Of two pounds to so gallons
of water, or for the small garden, 10
level teaspoonfuls of the Arsenate to
one gallon of water
Paris Green may be used instead of
Lead Arsenate, at the rate of pound
to so gallons, l teaspoonful to gal
Ion Of water, also adding three or four
times as much lime as Paris Green to
prevent burning of the leaves. Lead
Arsenate is preferred because 1t sticks
to the foliage better and is somewhat
cheaper.
Sprayings should be repeated when
necessary, or generally every two
weeks through most of the season. If
started early the bugs" will be easier
controlled and smaller number of
sprays necessary. If the Arsenate of
Lead and Nicotine Sulphate are added
to Bordeaux mixture, the one combined
spray will control fungous diseases,
plant lice, and chewing insects.

evening
The special meeting of the council
was called at the request of the school
board, which was represented at the
meeting by DR.. NJ. F. Johnston. presi-
dent of the board. and Wilfred Jessup,
the boards attorney.
In statment prepared for the conn
Gil by the school board, the necessity
for immediate purchase of the West
Richmond site was pointed out, owing
to the rapidly increasing value Of the
land, due to improvements being
made in that part of the city. One
member OF the council, Mr.. Ford, de-
clined to give his approval for the
purchase of the land in the east part
of the city, owing to the objection,
in his belief, of great many people
to the proposed site. He stated, that
while he believed the junior high
school were needed, the east end To-
cation was too far from the center of
the public needs. He proposed that
the board consider the purchase of
land on the Fihe addition, at South
Fifteenth and E Streets, as being
more desirable than the original site

plan of Mr.. Ford, and asked that the
