was entertained at a dinner which
they gave in his honor. Naturally,
there was sought his rule of conduct
which had carried him over so long
a period of time.
On the physical side he said: THE
greatest life saver and health pre-
server is to be able to cut out what
ever disagr with one, and to limit
the quantity of whatever agrees with
you"
In regard to his mental and spirit
ual course of conduct he spoke as fol-
lows:
Whenever great misfortune or losses
overlook me, as they have, my mother
who was a firm Calvinist. has said
The Lord has sent this to you as Il
discipline. 1t is for your own good.
Receive it as such and do the best you
can, with renewed energy and hope

will prove a real blessing" In every
case, this has come out as my mother
predicted. I have absolute faith. from

DAYS OF NOW" CONCERT

Days of Now" the concert given
Thursday night at the auditorium to
an audience of ever 5000 persons, had
for its background one of the prettiest
stage settings ever seen here in
production of similar kind. Fhe
chorus gave its program in a cleverly
represented garden with latticed walls,
covered with vines and climbing flow
ers at either side of the stage.
An interesting feature eff the deco
ratiens, which were planned and ar
ranged by Mrs. Charles Joslin, were
the bird cages placed in the garden.
Several times during the concert one
of the tiny sengsters sang with the
chorus, and in several instances his
notes We're in perfect pitch with those
of the chorus.
-Four songs from the various groups
sung, Ashes of Roses" by Cole;
Didn't 1t RAIN Burleigh; Sweet
and Low" Johnson; and ''An OLD
Fashioned Garden" Porter, were en-
cored, the chorus responding with a
repetition of the song. Dixie" and
"Funiculi, Funieula,'' from the pre-
yieus popular Days of Yere" concert
were sung again.
Much of the credit for the success
of the affair is given Dean Henry v.
Stearns, of Washburn college, who
directed the chorus. The officers OF
the organization, Mrs. George Allen,
chairman; Mrs. Monte v. Kistier, vice
chairman; Mrs. Harry Rhodes, seere-
tary; Mrs. E. Claude Smith, treasurer
and the accompanies, Miss Bernice
Hemus had their share in making the
program a success.
Over $500 was contributed to the
club house fund thru the concert
many persons giving more than the
silver offering asked.

CHARGES "HAND PICKING"
Clerks Union Chairman Says Santa
Fe Cose Wage Committee.


Charges that the officials of the ac-
counting department of the Santa Fe
had tried to "hand pick" a committee
of employees to represent the clerical
workers, a committee which would
agree to a reduction in wages and to
other disadvantageous working cendi-
items, were made today by NJ. A.
Moore. general chairman of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks in To-
peka.
Moore did not know how many of
the clerical employees in the local gem
eral offices of the Santa Fe at Topeka,
ere members of the Brotherhood of
Railway clerks. I'VE are 95 per cent
organized on the SYSTEM" he declared.
The conference with the clerical
employees held at Topeka last week
was held with the representatives of
the organization, Moore said. He as
serted that the officials were anxious
to form a committee from among the
unorganized workers, which would go
before the United States labor board
when the hearing on the wage reduc-
tien is held, and consent to a reduc-
ton of the wages.
Such a committee, if selected on the
petitions of 81 per cent of the en-
pioyeS. would be able to sign contra cts
binding on the entire force. he as
serted.

The house has passed a bill exempt
ing farmers organizations from the
operation of the Sherman law. This
is a clear case of class legislation and
seems to be uncalled for. The Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Marketing as
sociation appear to have been getting
along very well without such legisla-
tioD and there is nothing to prevent
wheat growers from doing the same. If
farmers can be exempted from the
operation of the antitrust law. why
cannot any other class of persons do
the same, if they command suffi-
cient amount of political influence?
The passage of the Adamson law
should have taught congress and the
people a lesson not to be so soon for
gotten. American farmers are get
ting together. They are dropping
their old-time individualism. They
are learning how to band together and
TO cooperate for the good of agri-
culture and the welfare of the nation.
They should not ask or receive spe-
cial privileges.

The Detroit Free Press carries the
story that Samuel Gompers on his re-

stopped at an open shop hotel, that
his food was prepared by union
cooks and that he was served by non
union walters. The charge was
made before the Detroit Federation
OF Labor, it says, and was referred
TO a committee. But how could a man
on his honeymoon be expected to look
after so small matter as whether he
was being served by union walters?

J. +. NJ. Stewart, speaking before
the finance group of the United States
Chamber of Commerce at Atlantic
City recently, gave some facts con-
corning taxation in his native land
Canada. The sales tax act effective
in Canada since May, 1920. is the tax
you are more particularly concerned
with at this conference" said he.
1.-THE imposition of the tax was bold
experiment by Sir Henry Drayton, our
finance minister. and the government
of the day. The tax has been opera
tive now for about nine and a half
months. which gives a reasonable time
TO consider the effects and results.
Without trying to develop arguments
for or against this tax, I would like to
give you this message; 1t was well
received by the people of Canada. 1t
has not proved burdensome nor an
undue handicap to our commercial ac-
tivities. 1t is simple in it's application.
It is easy and cheap to collect. And 1T
is productive of substantial revenues.
