NEW EXPRESS. CO.. TO BEGIN
BUSINESS MARCH lST

Operation of. the Southwestern
Express Co., over the Southern Rail-
way system, will be commenced on
March LIST. This is a new company,
recently organized under the laws of
Alabama, with capital of one mil
lion dollars, by Southern business
men, who found it difficult to do
business with the companies now in
existence.
Points reached will include Wash
ington, Richmond, Norfolk, Cincin-
matt, Louisville, st. Louis, Memphis,
New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah,
Jacksonville, Mobile and a great
! many other cities and towns of i'm
portance located along ten thousand
miles of railroad.
Not only. will this system reach
these important points, but smaller
cities and intervening towns, and
ultimately will be passed on to other
systems of railroads. Where other
roads are tied up by express COM
pany contracts then it may be that
the Southern system railroads desire
entering other productive fields
could be persuaded to begin an era
of road construction. For instance,
the Southern for years has been de-
sirous of entering the rich fields of
Eastern Kentucky, passing from a
connection at Lexington, coming by
way of Winchester, Mt. Sterling, and
taking in the line of the X. & S. A.
penetrating the shale oil rock dis
trict and on from the present ter
minus Of the K. & S. A. at Rothwell,
via Frenchburg, thence TO Mariba oil
district, Eel, West Liberty, gather
ing from one Of the richest camel
coal districts in which Morgan
fields are embraced, thence with the
Licking Valley through rich bitumi-
nous belts, through Salyersville,

across the divide between Vthe Lick
ing Valley and the Big Sandy to
Prestonsburg and thence making a
connection with the Norfolk and
Western. Such a line as this, while
lengthy and would require much
money to finance, would make one
of the very best paying freight and
trunk lines of the United States.
This express company operating as
above mentioned, may be an entering
wedge by which the construction of
another great trunk line may be
launched, and thereby give compe-
ytition in freight and express charges.
This idea may seem far fetched, but
without a start there is nothing at
tainable.

Oldham County Plans
Big Poultry Campaign

An intensive campaign to put 100
White Plymouth Rock Matching eggs
on each of 100 Oldham county farms
during the coming spring in the in
terests of the poultry STANDARDIZED
ton work being conducted by the
State College of Agriculture has
been inaugurated by County Agent
g. B. Nance in cooperation with the
Oldham County White Rock Asso-
citation.
This county is one Of the most
prominent White Plymouth Rock
counties in the state and the results
Of the work are shown by the fact
that a Maysville hatchery has now
placed orders at six cents piece for
all the eggs members of the associ-
alton can supply between February
6 and May 1, according to a report
of Mr.. Nance. Orders which have
already come to the county indicate
that the association could sell three
times as many Matching eggs as they
will be able to produce during the
coming few months. With ordinary
eggs selling at thirty cents dozen
in the late spring and White Ply
mouth Rock eggs selling at seventy
two cents a dozen, members of the
association estimate that by rea-
son of the standardization work they
will be realizing an additional $126O
on each crate they sell.
Newly elected officers of the as
ISOLATION for the coming term are:
F. G. Stapleford, Lagrange, presi-
dent, and Mrs. Rollie Garrett, of the
same place, secretary.

Elshuco Trio Repeats
Prize-Winning Suite

The Elshuco Trio, composed of Au-
relic Giorni, piano; Elias Breeskin,
violin, and William Willeke, violon-
cello, gave its first subscription con-
cert of the season last night at the
Town Hall. The feature of the pro-
gramme was the first performance in
New York of H. Waldo Warmers Suite,
which the Trio adSplayed at Pittsfield
II September as the prize winning
composition of the 1921 Berkshire
Music Festival. Last nights perform
ance conveyed substantially The same
Impression as at Pittsfield, one of in
genuity and skillful technical construc-
ton, but based on few if any tangible
themes. This lack of thematic ideas
as foundation for the clever workman
ship OF the Suite gave an impression of
a lack of variety, detached, sterile
air somewhat relieved by the fanciful
and amusing scherzo.
In contrast to this were the first and
the last numbers, Brahms C minor trio
and Saint-Saens' in f major, both
showing the recognizable themes which
Mr.. Warmers work had lacked. After
slight roughness in the first Brahms
movement, the Trio warmed to it's work
and gave an excellent performance,
displaying team work and careful CO.
ordination in all three numbers. It's
performance was cordially welcomed,

High speed was the principal cFarac-

of two seventeenth century Italian num-
bers, Bach's italian Concerto "Sen-

were we'll adapted to show off Mr.. Os-
wold's technical skill, which approached

sages were distinct, yet fluent.
At first, in the Bach Concerto, his
playing was rather expressionless, but
he produced color and feeling in the

Miss Thomas Reveals
Artistry in Recital

A tone of firm texture, a technique
serviceable if not extraordinary, and
accurate intonation, especially in
double stoppisg, were qualities present
in the playing of Miss Nicola Thomas,
who gave recital in Aeolian Hall last
night. Miss Thomas renewed the agree
able impression which she made upon
her appearance here four years ago,
approaching her task with sincerity
and absence of affectation that was in
itself an element of charm.
Her playing suffered somewhat from
monotony through lack OF light and
shade, most noticeably in the Brahms
major Sonata. But it WAS good to
hear the Sonata, too seldom an item on
recital programs, which had otherwise
a smooth and intelligent performance.
Walter Golde was the accompanies,
which is to say that Miss Thomas was
ably seconded in all her offerings.
These included Bruch's G minor Con-
certo, "On Wings of Song by Mendels-
sohn-Achron; "Guitarre," by Moszkow-
ski-Sarasate, Sinding prelude" and
the Souvenir de Moscow" The audi
ence was large and friendly.

Seaplane Launched by Catapult;

airplane was launched successfully to-
day in tests at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard off catapulting device which
sent the NC-9, two-seated craft, into
the air at speed of forty-eight miles
an hour from standing start. The
experiment proved, naval experts de-
clared, that aircraft can be launched
from battleships equipped with cata-
pults on the turrets, and it is proposed
to equip every battleship with them.
