RICHTER PLEASES
COMANCRE PEOPLE
IN PIANO RECITAL

A Comanche paper prints the fol
lowing concerning a piano recital
given by Prof Richter of the o. c.
w. at that town under the auspices
TO the Civic League:
"Comanche elites enjoyed a gen,
uine musical treat last Friday even
ing when Prof. Rudolf Richter of the
Oklahoma College for Women at
Chickasha, gave piano recital at
the M. e. church South, at the So
Hcitation of the Civic League. The
audience was held spell-bound lis

masters like Beethoven, Mendels-
sohn, Wagner and List as interpre-

by the Comanche people as one who
charmed them by his music in true
Pied Piper style. The o. C. w Of

securing so able music instructor"

of the facilities arranged for trans.
portation, the cotton cannot be ex-
pected to bring what would be a
fair price if these Instructions were
removed. t.
such a corporation could meet
these distractions and bring to the
producer better price give stability
to the market and prevent wide fluc-
tuations in prices due to avoidable
factors. The result of this would be a
benefit to merchants who buy the cot
ton of a producer in the market. 1t
would benefit the banker, who will
find in cotton a more stable basis of
credit. 1t would benefit the cotton
buyer, but his business will have a
new measure of stability without the
element of violent fluctuations-al-
ways an element of danger as well as
sometimes furnishing an opportunity
OF profit"

conference of cotton planters, bankers
and business men from cottOn-growing
states Such an organization, he said,

but also wuold give stability to the
market,
Senator Owen recently returned
from a two-months' trip to Europe,
spent in studying financial and eco
nOmic conditions abroad, as well as
the commercial possibilities growing
out of the establishment of peace.
The great possibilities which would
come from an export corporation
were described by Senator Owen, who
said with capita lof $5O,0O0,0O0 it
would provide systematically and
cheaply storage facilities as well as
better transportation at more eco
nomical costs than can be secured by
the small shipper

"Such a corporation, Senator Owen
continued could, if necessary, with
hold its cotton from the market so
as to supply only the actual needs of
the market Such a corporation would
not be forced to sell its cotton be-
