Good Evening

concerns only the people of Russia, and that that
country must work out its own destiny. If the
people of Russia prefer the rule of the soviet, it
is their business. For that reason, the state de-
partment has taken no cognizance of movements
that have the purpose of supporting revolutions
that would overthrow the soviet.
Many persons believe that some of the allied
nations made grievous mistake in recognizing
counter-revolutions, and thereby interfering IN a
domestic problem Of Russia.
The defeat of Wrangel, supported as he was
by some European countries was to be expected,
and the United States, acting on its theory was
right in not interfering in the matter.
The best solution of bolshevism, so far as it
pertains to Russia, will be to let its people work
out their own salvation. If bolshevism is rank
failure and almost all of believe it is it car
ries within itself the germs of decay that will
soon ruin it.

'SHARL0W PLEASES
EARLHAM AUDIENCE

Singing with the joyous abandon of
youth and the sure technique of a
trained artist, beautiful Myrna Shar-
low, prima donna soprano of the
Chicago Opera Company, endeared her
self to the many VINO attended her
recital at the Earlham college auditor
ium Friday evening. Her performance
was versatile and pleasing as was her
clear, full, bell-like voice. Unlike many
prima donnas Madame Sharlow was
not embonpoint but very slender and
graceful. Her graciousness and sim
cere delight in the pleasure of her
hearers added much to her success.
Her Interpretation of an old Scotch
song, Faithful Johnie," arranged by
Beethoven, was delightful and her vi
vacious and buoyant rendition of
"Saper Vorreste" arietta by Verdi won
much applause. A hearty encore was
given the lively Song of the Brook
by Burleigh.
Granville English in his accompani-
ments and in his interpretations of
"Bouree" by Bach-Saint Saens, Moe
turne F Sharp, Chopin and Concert
Etude" Mac Dowell showed that he
was a pianist of the first class and
easily won an encore. Madame Shar-
low in the final group of songs sang a
beautiful Lullaby" written by Mr..
English. which received a well deserv-
ed and very enthusiastic encore.
Nadine Sharlow's Interpretation OF
American negro songs was excellent.
She sang one on the program and
when compelled to respond with two
encores at the close of the recital, she
sang another negro melody as one.

The Chamber of Commerce

The formation of chamber of commerce is
proceeding along lines that will lead to a definite
organization. There is question about that.
The underlying principles of the proposed cham
Der have been carefully studied and the structure
that will be erected on them will recommend it.
self to every citizen.
The need of chamber of commerce, truly
representative of the whole county, efficiently
equipped to act quickly and with intelligence, is
generally conceded.
One of the outstanding features of the pres
ent proposal is the broad scope of its purpose
and the fact that it will incorporate all the inter-
ests of the community. It will not be a one-sided
organization to benefit few interests, but a
broad-gauged enterprise that will advance the
interests Of farmers, bankers, workers, churches,
retail merchants, jobbers, teachers, manufac-
turers.
1t is recognized at the very outset that only
organization which will serve the whole CON-
munity will succeed. Civic organizations here
and elsewhere that have not been based on the
principle of universal service have not been emin-
emily successful or have failed utterly and to-
tally.
Starting on this foundation, the proposed
chamber of commerce has an appeal that cannot
be denied or discounted It recommends itself
by the very nature of its purpose and will sue
coed by reason of the universally of it's service
to the community.

The Exhibit of Local Manufacturers

Few residents of city really know what
commodities are manufactured in their midst.
They have vague and general information, but
lack that definite knowledge which will enable
them to advertise indirectly and yet effectively
their community.
The Y. M C. A. proposes to correct this de-
ficiency by conducting exhibit of commodities
and articles that are manufactured here, in Rich
mond factories and by Richmond labor, for the
American and export trades.
The exhibit will be novelty, for it is the
first time probably that collection has been
made of the articles that are fashioned in our
shops and factories. But it will be more than
that Behind it is an educational purpose that
is easily recognized and will be fully appreciated
after the exhibits have been placed and the popu-
lace has had an opportunity of studying them.
Under the present industrial system, it is
sometimes believed that the worker loses inter"
est in fine workmanship and skilfull execution
Richmond occupies commanding position in the
manufacture of number of commodities. The
excellence of the workmanship that enters into
their perfection will be abundantly demonstrated
by the exhibit.

POSS ESSION
BY George Matthew Adams

FSSSCSSISN
1t isn't what we have, but what we

Possession does not come through
boarding. 1t comes about by means of
getting and giving.
The miser has nothing-for all his
time is taken with keeping what he
fears every moment will fee from him
and be lost to him.
The things which we have and
which give us so much happiness are
merely loans from someone else. And
some day they will belong to someone
else-to give them portion of the
pleasure and gladness which they
brought to us.

beauty that had long ago made them

We possess least when we think we
possess most.

achievements of men-in the form OF
great tunnels under wide rivers, LONG
bridges, high towering buildings, and
Of feats Of engineering such as the

Utah. But they belong to me as much
as to anyone-for they form one OF
the links in civiliZation-which all be
