Elasticity in Business.
1t is unnatural and undesirable
to expect business conditions to be
very stable the next few years,
Hence the need in all phases OF
business is sufficient elasticity and
adaptability to meet the varying
trade currents.
Foreign developments, as we'll as
the final outcome of the crops, are
always important, but uncertain,
determining factors.
If the nation should again enter
a period of great prosperity, which
is possible, the railroads should be
allowed Immediately to participate
in such osperity--certainly until
they fully recover and are able to
supply the increasing needs for
OF any such pros
perity.
The administration ability to
cope with the foreign
and gradually institute
such improvements as will APP
proach the extreme needs of our
own and foreign nations, is I'M
No nation could have more reas-
on to be optimistic than the Amer
lean nation has today; world in
great need Of our products and our
assistance, on the one
hand, and our abundant supply of
both products and money with
which to respond to such needs,
on the other hand.

Cleveland, O., July 3.-More
than 800 horses are quartered at
North Randall race track in train
ing for the opening meeting of the
Grand Circuit on July 4. Among
the horses in training are some OF
the fastest trotters and PAGERS in
the country. Tom Murphys string

from Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and Ed
"Pop" Geers has a large string
of his horses here.
Only six PAGERS will start In the
free-for-all pace at North Randall

cream of the ssde-wheelers in the
country. The list is Single G, 1859;
Sanardo, 200 IL; Grace Direct,

Malone 2:O1 1-2, and Red Lance

Rail birds predict that with a
good day and a fast track the
track record for the free-for-all
pace will be smashed. Single G,
now about IL years old, won the
race last year from a fast field.

Members of the Chamber of

all Of the delegates and their fami-

KANSAS SCHOOLS
PLAN COURSE IN
PIANO PLAYING
tBy The Associated Press,

Emporia, Kan, July 3. - III
Johnny comes hame from his
first day in school next fall and
announces that he is in the piano
class, don't be alarmed about the
young mans sanity. The piano
class Is the next step In the
public school curriculum, ac-
cording to f. A. Beach. dean of
the Kansas state normal school
of music ana president of the
National Music Supervisors con-
ference. 1.-THE surprising thing
about it," Mr.. Beach says, lis
that piano classes haven't been
taught ever since there were mu-i
sic classes, for, after all, 1t is
lust as simple as the voice class,
which Is so familiar to the whole
family from grandma, who took
part in the old time singing
school, down to the first grader
who sings his do, re, mi, in the
public school room.
perhaps it is the simplicity
of the thing that made every
body overlook It," continued Mr..
Beach, who is introducing piano
class instruction into the Kan
sas normal this summer. AT any
rate, the first really successful
method of procedure for class
room instruction in piano was
worked out two years ago by
Miss Hazel G.. Kinscella. of the
university school of music, Lin
coin, Neb., who will be here for
two weeks beginning July l.,
to demonstrate her method.
1.-THE feature of the method is
the very simple device of pro-
viding paper keyboards in exact
duplication of the piano key
board for all the pupils, except
one who plays the piano. All
the pupils in the class, with the
same music before them, plays
an exercise simultaneously. The
correct sound from the piano Is
associated by each pupil with
the proper note on the key
board and the pupils at the pa
per keyboards get as much out
of the practise as If they were
at the real piano. Errors on the
part of any of the pupils are
readily detected by the instruc-
tor if the class is limited to ten
or a dozen pupils. The pupils
take turns playing at the piano"
Miss Kinscella will have class
of some twenty or thirty music
students and faculty members OF
the Kansas normal school of
music and will use class of
twelve children to demonstrate
to the grown ups how her plan
is put into practice.
This will be the first intro
duction of the new method into
Kansas" Mr., Beach said, "and
our aim in bringing Miss Kin
scella here is to spread that plan
through the teachers going out
from the Kansas normal to the
public schools of Kansas. To
my mind the biggest thing in the
whole plan is the opportunity II
gives all school children of
learning the fundamentals of the
piano. The plan will be used in
the training school Of the nor
NAL next year."

DIVISION POINT
Santa Fe Railroad Vice
President Denies Rumor
That Division Terminal
viii Be Changed.

Rumors that the Santa Fe Rail-
way company contemplated chang
ing its division point from Albu-
querque to some other section of
the southwest were emphatically
denied by Edward Chambers, first
vice president Of the company, in
letter received yesterday by H.
B. Watkins, secretary of the cham
Der Of commerce, who wrote MIR.
Chambers regarding the rumors
and asked for an official express
sion on the subject.
1.-THE rumor that the Santa Fe
company intends changing the di-
vision point from Albuquerque is
entirely without foundation"
stated Mr.. Chambers. There is
no intention on the part of the
Santa Re company to make any
change in the Albuquerque sltua-
ton"
although the chamber of COM
merce had no authentic informa-
ton contrary to the rumor, imme-
diately upon learning that the
rumor had gained considerable
Roadway among local railroad men
and merchants. l decided to take
the question up with the company
at once in order to ease the minds
of many who are closely concerned
with the company and would be
greatly effected by any such
change" Secretary Watkins stated
last night upon receiving the en-
phatic denial of the rumor from
Mr., Chambers.

101ST BIRTHDAY
IS OBSERVED BY
MISSOURI WOMAN
lBr The Assoclated Press.l

Montgomery, Mo-, July 3.-Mary
Harrison McGhee. of Shelbyville,
KY, was just past IS when she
came out by steamboat and stage
coach, to become teacher in the
Robinson Ladies' seminary at Dam
Vile, Mo. That was in 1888, and
steamboats, were a new-fangled.
and often dangerous mode of travel.
1t took this particular one three
weeks to reach st. Louis from
Shelbyville, and then there was
stage trip still to make before one
got to Danyille, and goodness only
knew what might not happen TO
an unprotected school teacher in
those untrammeled Missouri wilds,
haunted by bear, deer, redskins and
the like. They we're glad to see
Miss McGhee at Danville, for
school teachers were not easy to
get, and here was one with WON
derfully fine education-a graduate
Of Science Hall seminary, back in
Kentucky.
But the trouble was, when you
did succeed in getting a school
teacher that everybody liked, and
capable one, and one that got along
we'll with the girls, some young
blood who set his own interests
above those or higher education,
would up and marry her. And Miss
Mary was no exception to the rule.
She taught a term and then young
Benjamin Sharp carried her off to
preside over his plantation near
Montgomery City. There she made
her home for fifty years; there her
nine children came into the world,
and from his plantation, young
Doctor Sharp went on horseback
to care for the sick for many miles
around.
The other day his widow-she
who was Mary Harrison McGhee--
celebrate her one hundred and
first birthday anniversary. Five
of the nine children are living and
were there to help her celebrate
the holiday. They are Mrs Carrie
S. Griffith, Minneapolis, MINI !;
Mrs. C. w. Bib, Mrs. Espie Berry,
Nathaniel Sharp and Mrs. Emma
Brandt all of Montgomery City.
The old plantation is still in Mrs.
Sharp's possession.

CONDITIONS ARE RIPE FOR A
RESTORATION OF Confidence
In BUSINESS, EXPERT CLAIMS

Of the railroads, in anticipation of
a resumption of normal traffic.
Only such a crisis as the past
year could have forced the farmers
of the nation to get their produc-
ton costs down in connection with
the present maturing crops.
1t would be a tremendous misfor-
tune for the coming generation If
an extensive nationwide building
boom should have taken place on
the basis of the inflated costs of
material, transportation and labor,
heretofore, and even now. prevail
ing.
Business Machine Halted.
1t would be nothing short of a
calamity for the impoverished rail-
roads to have been forced into the
market for extensive improvements
and extensions at the rate of wages
and cost of steel and other ma
terial.
The great American business
machine came to a standstill while
the major adjustment was being
made; and it is perfectly obvious
and gratifying to know that 1t will
be Impossible to make any substan-
tial start on the major recovery
unless it be on a right, sound and
permanent basis of price of mate
rails, transportation and labor.
The Question of Profit.
The question Of profit, on the
first few months business is i'm
material. The farmer produced n
whole crop last year at tremen-
dous loss below the cost of pro-

flee will be required from labor or
from other lines of business, If
concerted action and cooperation
can be secured on July I. August

per cent of the nations traffic to
do what has been done during the
past few months, namely: pay to
the railroads higher gross net
income than ITO per cent traffic

SMOKING PROHIBITED

Statement by j. S. Crutchfield,
President American Fruit
Growers, Inc.

The general business situation is
characterized by the lack OF any
distinct character. In other words,
the country, and probably the
world, has perhaps now reached
the extreme height or depth of I'M
settlement. If this be the case, and
we believe 1t is a fact. 1t means,
speaking in basic terms. that con-
ditions are ripe for distinct and
healthy restoration of confidence in
business. All that is lacking at the
present time is definite leadership
and a decision day. When general
business has stopped as still as it
now has In many lines. 1t requires
concerted action, under competent
direction, to make the initial start.
Depression Is Artificial.
1t Is hard to imagine how funda-
mental conditions in the United
States could be better than at pres
ent.
The present acute depression is
artificial. unnatural and unneces-
sary. In our opinion, any such
acute depression is wholly due to
the unwillingness of the human
factors in the ranks of both capital
and labor to recognize and bow to
the inevitable.
Economic forces are actively IN
operation which refuse to follow
the direction or ideas of either the
captains of industry. the leaders of
labor unions, or even the dictates
of governments, unless such die
tates conform to such natural laws.
This nation and the world should
be profoundly thankful that the
present government of the United
States in practically its every ac-
ton, has shown a remarkable abil-
ity and facility in affording this
nation and the world q leadership
and direction with the intelligence,
experience and ability to utilize
these powerfur natural laws In
bringing about the very relief
which is needed.
Needed the Experience.
The American nation has surely
needed to go through the expert
ence of the recent months in order
to quickly establish rock founda-
ton on which to build the tremen-
dous business structure of the CON-
ing years.
The three big lines which make
for q normal volume Of business
are:
/. The approaching harvest OF
crop produced at postwar costs
and which should and undoubtedly
can be sold at net profit to the
farmer. -

the nation.
