b. A. G. NOTES
Biggest Lyceum Number of the
Year, Great Lakes String
Quartet

We are most fortunate in being
able to bill the Great Lakes String
Quartet. This is the famous quar-
tet that accompanied President Will
son to France at the time of the
signing of the Peace Treaty. Those
who know tell us that this quartet is
better than the Russian Trio which
the people of Cedar City enjoyed so
much two or three years ago. In
fact, it is the best and most expen-
sive Lyceum number that the Col
lege has ever tried to finance.
The young men composing this
quartet-Herman Felber, first vio-
lin; Carl Fasshauer, second violin;
Robert Doljsi, viola; and Walter
Brauer, 'cello--are trained music
ians, who after their enlistment
found themselves in the same COM
pany at the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station. Their playing in
the navy won such wide recognition
that they were chosen to take two
transatlantic trips with President
Wilson; and since returning to pri-
vate life, the organization embarked
on a coast to coast tour which was
a succession of musical triumphs.
Though the price is high, no one
can afford to miss the best concert
that ever came to Cedar.
The Craftsman Club of the B.
A. c. entertained the students and
faculty Saturday at a hiking party.
All proceeded to the Spring Canyon
where wienies were, roasted and
other good things to eat were served
and various ways resorted to for
entertainment.
Acting County agent A. L. Price
was called home to Provo last Fri
day by the illness of his mother,
Mrs. William V. Price. She is get
ting somewhat better, but is still
very sick. Mr.. Price returned to
Cedar Wednesday morning.

NEW GARAGE OPENS

Mr.. Leonard Green has built and
opened a garage to be known as the
Cedar City Garage. 1t is located on
main street just opposite the new
tourist park. The new enterprise
will do general auto repair work
and supply oil and gas to tourists.
Mr.. Green has had FIVE years ex-
perience in auto repair work and is
said to be a very competent me-
chanic in his line. The garage is
launching out in a modest way, and
will not try to provide storage room
for cars until next winter when the
demand for room is strong. The
building is frame and will be COW
cred with corrugated iron. For
summer trade the new garage has a
very good location.

producers that 1t will not be surprising
that the new year finds decline in

few pipe companies or purchasing
agencies desire to store oil. The per-

steel tanks is similar to the period of
accumulation in the stock market and
always occurs at the time of big fields

S much different. While production in
the Mid -continent is today in excess OF

their being too much oil, for it was not
until late this fall that productions
overlook demand for crude of gasoline

THE FINANCIAL
RECORD OF 1920

New York, Jan. Aft the financial
markets ever witnessed a more inter-
esting state OF affairs at the close Of a
trying year the oldest Wall street hab-
itue cannot recall IT, The year just
closed will be remembered chiefly for
It's constant credit strain, which at
times became so serious as to threaten
a money market disturbance of first
magnitude, and which unquestionably
would have developed but for the
splendid safeguards of the Federal re-
serve system
The 1920 money market taking all
classes of loans. probably averaged
higher rates than any other IL months
in peace times, In the United States
as In Europe, this was the overshadow-
ing factor, for the credit strain was
such as 10 force the Federal Reserve
Board 70 put the country under
system of rationed credit during the
greater part of the year. This caused
irritation IN some quarters, but thosn
in touch with the facts of that extra
ordinary year know now that these
measures We're necessary, and that the
upervision for the most part was high
~ intelligent, constructive and saved
the December markets from a terrific
smash.
A restricted credit policy for the
United States OF 1920 was just as nee
essary as was the effort to curtal food
consumption during the war period. II
limited food consumption was neces-
sary to help the nation win the war in
1917 a properly regulated credit SER
vice which financed productive indus
try ahead of everything else was nee
essary in order to save this nation
from n succession of Black Fridays In
1920, This is literally true. for the
worldwide strain upon credits was
greater than the banks of this country,
or any other country ever experienced
before over SO great an area and for
such length of time.-Cincnnat

Decrease in Oil Ill. i:
~. Runs Reported

Frankfort, December 81. - Unless
there is n speedy increase in the pro-
duction OF oil In Kentucky during the
first six months of the year of 1921 the
indications are that there will be de-
cline in tao production Of oil in this
state for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1924, as compared to the oil pro
duction for the year ending June 80,
1920. There are 100000 brls of oil few
or produced from July !, this year to
January /, 1921, than there We're dur
ing the corresponding time last year.
THIS falling off, however, is in meas
urc offset by the increase production
Of $4,000 brls Of oil for the first six
months of the year, compared with the
same period last year.
Lima, Ohio, December 3l.=-A decline
in runs is already noted from the de-
cree OF purchasing companies to take
only so and 70 per cent of the oil, and
production of the midcontinent.

100 PASTORS PRODUCED BY
LITTLE KENTUCKY CHURCH

Bethel Ridge, Ky.-The little Metho-
dist church here, its chapel seating a
scant $50 persons, bears the unique
distinction of having produced more
than 100 Methodist ministers, accord
ing to the Rev. Ollie G. Raglan, super
intendent of the Southeastern District
of the Kentucky Methodist confer-
ence.
Most OF the ministers were members
Of two families, the Ragans and God
beys.
The-s story of the little Casey county
chapel and the family of ministers, for
the Ragans and Godbeys are closely
related goes back $50 years, accord
ing to the superintendent AT that
time John Elan was the Methodist cir
cult rider of the mountains.
An Irish family named Ragan lived
in the Kentucky hills far from any
church. The Rev. Han was called when
the only child of the family died The
parents become such friends of the
itinerart minister that they joined the
nearest church and later children were
'ducated in II and became ministers.
From that time until the present their
descendants have devoted their lives
to the ministry, according to Mr.. RAJ
gan.
Among the notable ministers of the
two families, virtually all of whom
first attended church at Bethel Ridge
were the Rev, w. B. Cooley, noted in
the mountains as holiness leader;
the Rev. w. II. Raglan, the Rev, G, G.
Raglan. his son, J. G. Raglan, for forty
years mountain preacher, and the
Rev, l.. r. Cooley. The Rev. j. G..
Ragan had four sons, all of whom be-
came ministers, and one daughter,w who
married minister, the Rev. William
Oakley. Tho sons of j. G. Ragan. all
of whom are living, are: the Rev, w.
b. Ragan, the Rev J. S. Ragan, Ollie
g. Raglan, and the Rev. W. H. Raglan.
Other members Of the family in the
ministry include the late Rev. w. tB.
Cooley and the Rev. Logan Godbey.--s
