DAvIs-FAGAN

Miss Helen Davis, the celebrated
Mezzo-Soprano, and Sibyl Sanderson
Pagan, a whistler, without peer,
assisted by Mr.. Willard Osborne,
violinist, will be headr in an unique
recital at the Christian church on the
evening of Wednesday, November II.
Miss Davis is one Of the most prom
sing young singers now ON the con-
cert stage. She is the possessor Of
IA brilliant voice of glorious quality
and an ability to interpret the songs
hat America loves. She was born
in America and has accomplished Ill
her vocal and artistic training entire
ly here, of which fact she is very
proud.
When sibyl sanderson Pagan was
tiny girl, she was given to making
everybody in the family miserable by
whistling loudly and eternally. One
lay, along came professional
whistler to visit the Pagan home in
Springfield, Ohio, and Miss Fagan
suddenly discovered that she really
could whistle ga little better" as she
nodestly expresses it, than most
people. She determined to make q
real artistic profession for herself by
means of her unusual gift. She stud
ed breathing exercises, which are
quite as important in whistling as in
singing. Also, she studied the piano
Until her artistic ideals were develop
I'd. 1t didn't take her long, after be-
ginning piano lessons, to see that her
whistling could be made a real art
md not an entertaining novelty. Miss
Pagan whistles by means Of her two
fingers. She says she wouldn't even
try it any other way, for she can
whistle longer and get less tired and
avoid blistered lips by using her fing-
es.
The concert on Wednesday, Novem-
ber II, promises to be most unusual
Sreat for the music lovers of Mis-
souri, Valley.
Cards of admittance may be Sc
.ured from Doty & Peterson so long

HARDING SWEEPS IOWA
BY 100000 MAJORITY

Des Moines, To-, Nov. 6.-Complete
election returns show that the total
vote on president in Iowa was $780,
0o7, which was $4,000 more than the
most optimistic prediction. Harding
carried the state over Cox by 4O6,-
1898. Cummins won over Porter by
205, 948, mad Kendalls lead over Her
ring was 1882. Herring carried six
counties, Carroll, Crawford, Adams,
Oseeola, Johnson and Davis and came
near winning in others.
A general meeting of senators and
representatives just elected to the
iowa general assembly will be held
al the Sayery hotel on. November 16
TO consider the problem of code re-
vision: The meeting was called by
letters sent yesterday to every VIC,
rorious candidate by Senator Walter
Anderson Of Greene county, and Rep
'fesentative j. B. Weaver Of Polk
county, These legislators were an
pointed committee to cali such a
conference at a meeting of members
Of the last general assembly, held
here during the state fair.
The problem has been as to
whether it will be possible to carry
code revision along with the regular
wosS OF a legislative session lor
whether it would be necessary to do
the work at special session later.
Serious question has been raised that
II would be possible to do both at
once,
lhe fact that the. voters have called
a constitutional convention has added
to the problem. 1t is the general be-
,l5ef that present revision would be-
come more or less useless ii, the
face OF a general change in the con-
stitution. This view, it is reported,
is held by Mr.. Weaver.

gether with Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Mad

Payette Bench which has been devel-
oped into fine country orchard home
He was head miller in the Payette
Mills for three years, and during
those three years helped much in es-
tablishing a quality of manufactured
products that placed the business OF
a solid foundation. He enlisted in
the military service of the United
States at Omaha, Nebraska, Febru-
sry 6, 1918, in the Aviation sigma
Corps, and went overseas June
1918. He died from drowning JaEu-
ary 2, 1919. No details have yet

Such is the brief history of hin

this week. Edgecomb was a manly
fellow. His heart beat true to the
finer instincts of life. He was goot

him as man, and association with

the sacred cause of humanity.

end consideration is the heavy In
crease in the Socialistsyote. The total
may reach two millions. 1t was espe-
cially heavy, Of course, In the large
cities. Probably many of the votes
for Debs were cast by Democrats
In addition to Messrs. Cox and
Roosevelt, many an eminent Democrat
was swept TO defeat by the avalanche
There Is widespread regret that SEN
ator Chamberlain of Oregon WAS not
successful, for he has been a capable,
Woodworking and independent member
OF the upper house, and is one of the
stanchest Americans !n public life.
Other Democratic senators who failed
OF reelection Include Mark Smith of
Arizona, Phelan Of California, Nugent
of Idaho, Henderson of Nevada and
johnson of South Dakota.
Ia the congressional elections there
were many surprises. One OF these
was the defeat of Champ Clark In
Missouri. Oklahoma sends q woman,
Alice NJ. Robertson. Republican, to
Washington. In Wisconsin Victor
Berger, twice expelled from the house

spiracy against the government dur

On Saturday Senator Harding left
Marion for q vacation In Texas and
trip to Panama. He expects to return
home about December 9, and then may
go to some Gulf Coast resort for the
winter. BE has not given out any in
timations as to the makeup of his
cabinet, but of course the amateur cab
met builders are busy. Many of them
believe either Elihu Root or Senator
Lodge will be secretary of state-prob-
ably the former. Others who are
prominently mentioned' are ex-Sena-
tor Sutherland of Utah for attorney
general, ex-senator Weeks OF Massa-
chusetts for secretary of the treasury
or secretary of the navy, Frank Van.
derlip for the treasury post, General
Wood for secretary of war, Governor
Lowden of Illinois for secretary Of
commerce, Chairman Will Hays or
John T. Adams of Iowa for postmaster
general. and Congressman Nolan of
California for secretary of labor. Some
think Raymond Robins may be offered
the last mentioned place, but this is
unlikely. Herbert Hoover also has
been talked of for cabinet appoint
ment, but this would be very displeas-
ing to Senator Hiram johnson. Oh.
jections to making an army man sec
retary of war, added to pre-con-
vention irrtations, may keep General
Wood out of the cabinet.
For the important place Of secretary
to the President, four names are com
monty mentioned--George Christian,
Harding's secretary while in the SEN
ate; Judson Welliver, newspaper
correspondent, who has handled public
ity at Marion; Fred Starek, former
representative of an Ohio newspaper
at Washington, and Richard Washburn
Child. former editor Of Golfers Week
ly, who has been aiding Harding at
Marion in the writing Of his speeches.
william j. Bryan, arriving in Chi
cago on a lecturing tour, made con-
tribution to the gaiety Of nations. He
issued statement calling on Presi-
dent Wilson to resi-. Immediately.
yielding the presidency to Vice Presi-
dent Marshall with the understanding
that Mr. Marshall should appoint Sen.
ator Harding secretary of state. Then,
Mr.. Bryan said, Marshall should re-
sign, which would make Harding the
acting President. For some tine there
have been hints that President Wilson
might resign In the event Of Repub-
lican victory. The rest Of the pro-
posed program is Mr.. Bryan's own
idea.
What the European press thinks Of
the election lis interesting. The papers
of London comment On the decisive
rejection Of the Wilson policies, and
the Times regards the election as a
distinct warning to Bolshevists and
extremists of all kinds. The newspa-
pers of Paris all agree that Harding's
victory is bad defeat for the League
Of Nations as established by the Wiz

There was an election. too, in Scot

California. besides giving Harding
fat plurality, overwhelmingly indorsed
the anti-alien land law against which
the Japanese government has been
protesting so vigorously. This action
insures that in the future no alien
who Is not eligible to citizenship under
federal naturalization laws may own
or lease agricultural land within the
state. It does not affect existing OWL
ership or titles.
