MAKING EMPLOYEES STOCK

The Union Pacific Railroad is set
ting a great example in its system of
enabling all employees to become
stockholders.
The system of dealing directly with
its thousands of employees on a partial
payment plan is being taken up by
other larger companies.
The Portland Railway Light and
Power Co. sold direct at par a mil
lion dollars of its securities to en-
ployes and customers.
The Standard Oil Co. of California,
is placing SIS, 000, 900 of it's stock in
hands of its employees on easy terms

IMPOSSIBLE COMBINATION

The attitude of organized labor to-
ward the financial ventures of North
Dakota under the non-partisan league
is described as one of friendly con-
sideration" by Matthew Woll, vice
president of the national federation
of labor, in an interview which will
appear in the journal of the photo
engraverS' union.
Mr.. Wo1l, who, as a member of the
federation's executive council, recent
ly heard an appeal from North Da-
kota officials for labor's assistance in
floating a state bond issue, asserts
that the council E1did not indorse the
non-partisan league" but it did ally
itself with the farmers of America
against the financiers of Wall street
IF organized labor could gain con
| troll of industries and organize farm
| labor so that it could call a strike or
either the producing or distributing
end of the nations business, it woulc
have the American public by the
| throat and make its favorite Evolves

FARMERS GRAIN DAY

Topeka, Kanssa, April 11-Another
s3Grain Day" for Kansas farmers has
been set aside by the Kansas head
quarters of the Near East Relief.
Owing to rains that clogged the roads
in many parts of the state, the fever
ISL organization among many farm
bodies and the absolute necessity for
the state to furnish her 100 cars of
grain for the relief of the starving
thousands in the Near East, April
23rd has been designated for, the gen
era1 acceptance of corn and wheat at
the 1160 elevators thruout Kansas.
April was the first ssGrain Day"
All of the elevators are ready to
care for the contribution of grain
free of charge. The mills are await
vided. All that remains to be done
is the fulfllment of the Kansas farm
ers' contract for 100 cars of food to
relieve the dying abroad.
This is distinctly a farmers move
nent. The town man will receive his
chance later. One hundred cars of
grain means so little to the wealth
of this states product and so much
to the hungry in the Near East that
it is believed the full amount will be
available following the shipment of
cars April 2S
The famous kansas pride" has en-
| tered into this 1ife-saving Offering
/ IF the state fails to ship these 100
/ cars of grain it will be her first failure
/ to respond to worthy appeals.

AMERICAS GREATEST SENSA.
TIONAL DRAMATIC SOPRANO

1t seems almost useless task to
reten the story of Rosa Ponselle.
Since that evening two years ago
when her debut on the stage of the
Metropolitan Opera House was so
electrifying as to send the name of
Rosa Ponselle flying throughout the
country, the tale of her humble be-
ginning and meteoric rise to success
has become a byword with music low
ers. For the benefit of those few,
however, who will hear Miss Ponselle
in her recital at the Festival Week,
Fort Hays, Kansas Normal School in
Hays on Sunday afternoon, May 8
we shall retel1 her story.
Rosa PonseIle was born in Meridian
Connecticut, the daughter of poor and
humble Italian-American parents.
Hers was the typical childhood with
such advantages as the local public
school education might offer. Though
the young girl had always wanted to
sing and had been fortunate in having
the musical environment that sur
rounds any Italian family, she never
enjoyed any vocal instruction in her
youth. Yet she and her elder sister,
Carmela, finally were awarded an op-
portunity to sing in vaudeville and in
the spring of 1918 where they were
heard at the Riverside Theatre, New
York, by the teacher who persuaded
them to study under his supervision.
The fall of that same year found
Rosa Ponselle member of the Metro
! politan. Her debut came in Novem-
| Der when she sang with Enrfco Caru-
| so in the revival of Verdi's opera
LA Fora del Destino". Miss Pom
| selle's success was brilliant she was
| hailed as the greatest young singer
| of her generation. Since then she has
steadily mounted the heights of fame
In her own way she is prima donna
sassoluta" at the Metropolitan; he1
| concert engagements fill every dat.
when she is free from operate duties
Rosa Ponselle has proven thu
Metropolitan to be indeed the rea
field for operate opportunity.

WARSHIPS WOULD BE

By AssocIuted Press

Washington. November 16.-Naval vessels designated for discarding un der limitation of armaments agree ment would have to be scrapped or sunk naval experts declared today No satisfactory method of utilizing naval vessels for any purpose other than that for which they were de- signed and built has ever been evolved, they said.
 Hope of saving the discarded Ger man fleet was voiced in Paris during the peace conference, these officers recalled, only to be thrown out as impracticable. The German warships could not be used by other countefs effectively on account of character istic design and because of the un- uSual calibre of ammunition required
 Attempts to remodel the German fleet into merchant and passenger ships also failed, naval constructors said. and similar efforts today In con nection with ships of the United states navy were declared to bc equally futile.
