SHOPPING WAS DONE TO
MUSIC ACCOMPANIMENT

London, Jan. 15.-Shopping in
the world famous Bond and OK
ford street districts this holiday
season was done mostly to the ac-
commandment of music rendered by
unemployed eX-service men driven
by restitution to assume the roles
of street entertainers.
Their appeals were not in vain
In the cheerfulness their tunes
played on all sorts of instruments
ranging from jews harps ana
mouth Organs to bass horns ana
street pianos, passers-by seemed to
sense something of that carry
on" spirit which, little more
than two years ago, was enabling
the same men to endure the hard-
ships and dangers of war IN
France and Flanders.
Some of these alms-seekers wore
masks, indications of past super
iority, for the masked musicians
were discharged officers.
In front of jewellers windows
with their brilliant displays OF
costly things, these poorly clad
itinerants formed a sharp contrast.
But their renditions of Every
thing is Peaches Down in Georgia,
and other popular airs gave oppor-
tunity for expression of the 9uie-
tide spirit and brought a generous
dole of silver from the purses OF
shoppers. And in the faces of
donors and recipients could be
read mutual hopefulness for the
coming of brighter Christmas sea-
sons.

PERMITTING LAND TO
LIE IDLE IS ALMOST
CRIMINAL, ASSERTS

Topeka, Kans., Jan. 15.-Per-
hitting land to lie idle is almost
criminal in the belief of Bour-
bon county farmer, who lives near
Fort Scott. A letter to Governor
Allen, apparently inspired by the
governors advocacy of farm home
legislation, contains the charge that
another Bourbon county farmer,
whose name was given, owns 5Zo
acres of land, allows part of 1t to

acres to keep some man out OF IT,

law preventing land owner from
doing as he pleases with his prop
erty, so long as a nuisance is not
created; hence he can do nothing
in the case presented.

lean firms were heard by the COM
mittee and charges that the latter's
report was compiled under strong
prejudice"
Several passages in the report
show a clear but very ill-informed
animus against the American
firms" Cabell states. Particularly
in its reference to Argentina. No
one would guess from the report
that the Chicago packers entered
the Argentine trade at the request,
almost at the entreaties, of the
British firms which had opened up
the territory and paid heavily for
their experience and were anxious
to be bought out" III
Mr.. Cabell suggests that part of
the supposed animus disclosed in
the report is due to the reluctance
of certain British firms to compete
with the less wasteful and eff
cient methods of their American
rivals" and he says the only effect
of the report must be to raise meat
prices all over the United King
dom.

SWEDISH EMPLOYERS
FEELING EFFECT OF
GERMAN COMPETITION
(By The Associated Pressl

Stockholm, Jan. 15--Swedish
employers are feeling the brunt
of German competition. Its pres
sure has become so great that
proprietors of large number of
Swedish industrial and other en-
terprises have been compelled to
enter into negotiations with their
employees, placing before them the
alternatives of reduction OF
wages or the number of workmen.
The employers say they will be
unable to keep their works in
operation at the present rate OF
financial loss.
The mechanical engineering in
dustry is particularly hard hit by
competition from Germany where
wages are a mere fraction of the
Swedish rates of compensation.

KENTUCKY BANK
SOLVENT AFTER
FIVE HOUR RUN
Men With Deposits in Other
Financial institutions
Withdraw Them to Aid Be-
leaguered Concern.

Lexington, KY. Jan. !5.-The
story of the man who saved the
bank by rushing to another city
and getting cash with which to
stem the tide of a run" was re-
peated here not once, but a dozen
or more times on January 6, when
a five-hour run" on the Bank of
Commerce of Lexington occurred
during the height Of the nervous
situation caused by the low price
of tobacco and the closing of the
markets in central Kentucky. Men
who had deposits in other banks
rushed to them and brought thou
sands of dollars in currency to the
beleagured institution, while scores
of business men withdrew large
deposits from other local institu-
tons and poured cash into the re-
ceiving teller's window.
No figures We're made public af-
ter the run" had been stemmed,
but it was estimated unofficially
that close to half a million dollars
in cash was deposited by business
men and Others, who foresaw a
general panic in the tobacco belt
of Kentucky unless the institution
was saved. The example of bust
ness pouring their cash into the
banks Golfers finally had the eff
feet of renewing the confidence of
the frightened depositors.
RumoPs Caused "Run."
The run" on the bank was
caused by the thinnest of rumors
started no one knows where. Some
body whispered to somebody else
that the bank was overloaded with
notes secured by tobacco and on
which it could not realize because of
the low price of the leaf and because
the markets were closed. The ru-
NOR was repeated in various forms
and soon after the bank opened on
January 6 depositors from the
poorer sections of the city began
pouring into its doors. AS fast as
the tellers could count it. money
was paid out.
Then the forces OF the capitalists
and business men of the city were
modified. Men who had never
done a dollars worth of business
with the bank opened large &C
counts, n number deposited as
much as $4,000 in currency at one
time.
One man appeared at the bank
at II o'clock in the morning with
sack containing $4,000 in cur
rency which he deposited. Two and
half hours later he agair APP
peared. this time with $4,000 in
bills which he had obtained from
d bank in a nearhy city. More
than 100000 was ordered by
bankers and business men from
banks in Cincinnati, eighty-seven
miles distant, as well as large sums
transferred to the institution by
local banks at the request of the
local clearing house.
