Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Jan
uary 18th, 1920,

When the solider-Kfng Of Belgium
and his beloved Queen, Elizabeth,
went to Cincinnati they admitted
that one of their principal purposes
was to hear the Cincinnati Symphony
Orchestra, which is presided over by
their friend and countryman. Eugene
Ysaye. Of course, gala concert was
given by the orchestra for the royal
visitors, and the event will long be
remembered in the musical annals of
Cincinnati.
King Albert and Ysaye have been
friends. for many years, and Queen
Elizabeth formerly was a pupil of
Ysaye, when he was the celebrated
conductor of the famous orchestra of
Brussels. The Queen is an accom-
plished musician, and many times in
the palace at Brussels she has play
ed duets with the master who now
is the conductor of the Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra. And after the
royabpair had listened to the concert
given in their honor by the Cinein-
natl Symphony Orchestra they COM
mented unreservedly on the size of
the orchestra and its artistic excel
lence. Through the mayor of the
city, Albert and Elizabeth congratu-
lated the city on having so fine a
musical organization and in securing
the services Of Ysaye, who is known
to almost every citizen Of Belgium
and has wide reputation as vio-
linist, composer and director thru
out Europe.
Brookhaven residents are to have
the privilege of hearing this same
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, with
.Ysaye, welding the baton, at the
Auditorium the night of January IT,
this attraction being the second num-
ber of the Whitworth Artist Course
series of concerts for the season.
In addition to the orchestra, there
will be the talented Brookhaven girl,
Jennie Varde;nan, who will play the
Tschaikowski Concerto with the or
chestra. This will make the con-
cert doubly interesting to Brookha-
venites. Last season Jennie Varde-
man played this, concerto with the
orchestra and the critics said her
playing Of it compared favorably
with the greatest European Artists
who had visited this city. Every
man, woman and child who can
should hear this wonderful concert
on the 18th at the Auditorium.

MISSISSIPPI INDIANS
!. ARE BEING CARED FOR
Uncle Sam Has Special Agent
Looking After Their Inter-
estS in State.

F. j. Mckinley, special agent of
the depdl tment of the interior, of the
disburslng bureau, with headquar-
te.s at Philadelphia, Miss, was a
caller at the office of United tSates
Attorney Alexander on Friday at
Jackson.
Mr.. Mckinley has general charge
under this great paternal government
of all Indians in Mississippi, most
of whom are grouped in the coun-
ties of Neshoba, Leake, Scott, Kemp
er, Newton and few in Jasper. He
has been in Mississippi since October,
1918, though his connection with
the department of the interior dates
back ten or twelve years.
The federal government is spend
ing $4,000 a year among the In
dians in Mississippi alone, which is
being in the main disbursed for the
maintenance of Indian schools. When
Mr.. Mckinley first reached his post
of duty and began a study of the con-
dittons surrounding the Indian peo-
pie, he found no regular conducted
schools for these people, except at
one of two points which received
a meager support from the state.
Mr.. Mckinley has found the re-
search and range of inquiry neces-
sary to the prosecution of his duties
decidedly difficult, and the fact that
during the fifteen months of his SER
vice in the state he has established
more than a dozen bona flde schools
may be taken as decided evidence
of his ability for such exacting and
peculiar missionary work,
His. mission was to have the dis
trict attorney pass on and approve
titles to certain tracts of land which
have been secured from the tribal
reservations for the locating of addi-
tional schools,

Parking Plan on Shilling

The plans for paving Shilling
avenue call for a strip a rod wide
to be parked thru the center Of the
street with openings at the cross
streets. The paving laid in the VIII
lage streets is charged to the owners
OF the AUDITING property. The main
tenance of the parking is to be
charged to the city.
1t will make an increased amount
Of expense for maintenance for the
city and decreased amount of ex-
pense for paving to the property
holders. 1t will give two driveways
about twenty feet wide and park
ing rod wide. With a narrower
parking between the driveway and
the property it will give three strips
OF parking on the street and two
driveways. The driveways will have
the added freshness of the trees,
grass and other foliage. There will
be the disadvantage of not having
much room for driveway and no
room for parking cars on the slant
as they are parked in the business

section. However, there will be
room to stand car close by the
property line and still leave ample
room for other cars to pass. There
will be hardly room enough for two
cars to meet when they are passing
a car that is already parked.
There is chance for the popula-
tion of Blackfoot to do considerable
studying on this question, to see
whether they want the rest of the
town paved and parked in the same
way or whether they wish to dis
tinguish Shilling avenue by setting it
apart as something different where
people are favored as to expense of
paving, and where the city puts up
the money to supply parking in front
of their property. There may be
some adjustment of expense if nee
essary to make people satisfied. Not
that the people of Shilling avenue
will not be satisfied, but that the
people living in the rest of the town
may all wish to move to Shilling
avenue to share the benefits,

FERRIS WHEEL ABOUT
TO BE TORN DOWN
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
PARASITIC worlds greatest
Ferris wheel, and one of the great
sights of Paris, is about to be torn
down. There are rumors that the
Eiffel tower. the tallest structure in
the world, is soon to meet the same
fate.
The Ferris wheel, like the Eiffel
tower, was built on the site of the
great Paris Worlds Fair in 1900. It
has carried millions of visitors from
every corner of the globe without
serious accident. 1t has been sold to
an iron merchant who intends to use
the Orders in construction in the
war devastated regions of northern
France, but until October /, the day
when the demolition begins, the
great wheel will continue to turn.
Two years were required to build
the Ferris wheel. 1t is more than
$50 feet high and weighs, with the
carriages empty, nearly 1000, 200
pounds. The columns on which it
is poised weigh nearly another mil
lion.
Several years ago the Ferris wheel
came into the limelight thru a queer
divorce suit filed by the wife of
British officer, who alleged that he
had remained away from their hotel
in Paris for an entire night. The
husbands defense was that he en-
tered the Ferris wheel late in the
afternoon and that the attendants,
forgetting his presence turned off
the power while his car was at the
top of the great circle and that he
was forced to spend the night more
than 800 feet above ground. He
succeeded in proving his point and
the divorce complaint was dismissed

BLACKFOOT MAN SUCCESSFUL
IN GROWING FIELD CORN

T.. c. Peterson of the Blackfoot
land office has variety of field corn
that he has been successful in matur-
ing in this climate, and with which
he won first premium at the Bing-
ham county fair. He calls the va
riety Minnesota No. 13 Yellow Dent,
and this is the second season that
he. has been successful in growing
the corn here. Mr.. Peterson says
he planted the seed about the first
of June and on September 20 the
corn had matured and was in the
shock. He believes that the farmers
of the valley in this vicinity can
make success raising this variety
of field corn. He describes the corn
as golden yellow, sixteen rows to the
ear, and a very small cob, that the
percentage Of shelled corn is very
large.
For a golden corn Mr.. Peterson
has been successful in raising the
variety known las Golden Bantam,
which he recommends for use here.

INDIANS ARE BUYING
SILK SHIRTS AND HOSE

(By International News Service)
SAN FRANCISCO Profiteers are
not the only ones who today are
lavishly spending money for the lux
uries of modern civilization.
They have met their equals in the
Piute Indians, of Mono and Inyo
counties of California. These first
Americans" seemed to have cast
away their native indifference and
natural stoicism and are in an orgy
Of buying automobiles, silken hose
and other expensive apparel. Young
bucks and old bucks and squaws
alike are reckless with their bank
accounts, reports state.
Reason: Indians shearing sheep
get $12 day; squaws doing house
work get SO a day. And so on the
eastern slope of the Sierras there
is money heap much"
