BIG CANADIAN WHEAT CROP.
Yield This Year Estimated at S4O,-
100000 Bushels.

Montreal, Oct 23.-How large is
Canada's wheat crop this year? To
the man on the street the fact that
Canada has a crop of over 340,000.000
bushels means little more than mere
tumble of figures. But, if you were to
tell him that if Canada's crop of
wheat this year was ground into flour
and made into bread, there would be
enough to supply every man, woman
and child in England with loaf of
bread, weighing twenty-four ounces,
a day for a whole year, or a similar
ration to the entire population of the
United States for four months, he
would gain a clearer idea of the enor-
nous crop of wheat that Canada has
produced.
With a minimum wheat yield of
343, 100000 bushels, statistics show
that this quantity is equivalent to 20,-
58O,00O,OO0 pounds of wheat. or TO-
100000 TONS or 73,5OU,0O0 barrels of
flour. which could be made into H.
862, 900 loaves of bread, weighing
"a ounces each.

treatment by the composer is salts

The next number on the Topeka
Concert Series is a concert of music
for two pianos. The artists on this
occasion will be Maier and Pattison.
Every piano student, as well as every
piano teacher, should attend this con-
cert 1t is worth many times the price
the management charges.
A pleasant surprise last Saturday
evening was the redecorated city audi
forum. To say that it is 20 per cent
better place for musical concerts than
in it's previous garb is putting it
mildly. The light is soft and the
restful gray walls are a comfort for
which 1 am sure everybody was duly
thankful. Fortunately the "spotlights'
on the north and south ends of the
organ have been removed SO they can
no longer serve as instruments of tor
ture. The light hanging over the cen
ter of the stage is the outgrowth of
an idea originated by Mr.. Dotterweich
and in its present form it is both
artistic and practical.

CHAMLEE CONCERT

Tho first concert for this season
was given Saturday evening, October
81, at the city auditorium by Mario
Chamlee, tenor. 1t was the first num-
Der on the Topeka Concert Series
managed by Mr.: Henry J. Dotter-
WEIGH. The concert was well at
tended.
Mr.. Chamlee has a very good voice
and 1 am sure he is great success in
opera. He has been in an operate
atmosphere so much and evidently
has worked SO seriously that it has
become natural to him to sing in an
operate style and with the attitude
of the leading opera singer.
On his program Mr.. Cnamlee placed
eleven songs, of which four were in
English and seven IN foreign Ian
guages. The audience evidently liked
his voice very we'll because they called
for more and more. No one can Ques-
ton the richness and mellow beauty
of this young singers voice; what is
more, he puts his heart into his work
and he works intelligentIy. His re-
spect for tone and for time values is
striking. He phrases with care and
with respect for musical effects. Mr..
Chamlee gave three encores-one in
English.
Mr.. Chamlee is an American by
birth and yet before an American
audience in the city of Topeka he sang
the songs of lesser significance on his
program (and the fewer in number)
in his own language and those to
which he obviously attaches the most
value, he sang in foreign languages.
L do not think much of an American
artist who so slurs American art. Too
many singers carry that sort of thing
to the point of becoming penny wise
and pound foolish" Songs with no
text are either given fundamentally
and called songs without words" or
they are mere vocalises in place of
songs of art. There is scant choice
between a song without words and a
song the words of which one cannot
understand. Less than 90 of Topeka
audiences understand Italian and
other foreign languages. Why favor
them with seven songs on a program
and two encores and the $3.50 with
only four songs and one. encore
Some of it is tolerable, even desirable,
but too much is offensive.
An American artist should above all
be an American and promote that
which is American and good enough
for anybody American song-art is
poorly served thru foreign languages.
Mr.. Conal O'C. Quirke is a serious
musician and, good accompanist. He
is also a successful song writer. Mr.
Chamlee sang one of Mr.. Quirke's
songs, Your Voice." and it has like
able melody Of which the harmonic

At SO HIS EYE IS KEEN
Joseph Kirmayer. Leavenworth
Pioneer, Plans Annual Duck Hunt.

Joseph Kirmayer, Leavenworth
Pioneer, Plans Annual Duck Hunt
Leavenworth, Kan. Oct. a.
Joseph Kirmayer, Sc years old, one
of the first men to set foot on what
is now the city of Leavenworth, and
who is still hale and hearty. is pre-
pairing for his annual duck hunting
expedition. Mr.. Kirmayer has missed
but one season-that of 1915-since
1853. the year of his arrival at Fort
Leavenworth. He declares his eye is
keen and his aim as true as that of
many envious young nimrods. He has
dug out his hunting toys, stained by
many years of service, and hung them
in a convenient place for the advent
of cold weather and the feathery game
, to shoot at.
When Mr.. Kirmayer came to Leav
enworth, the tract now within the city
limits was a wilderness of scrub oaks
and hazel brush. He was in the gov
eminent service at Fort Leavenworth
at the time, but resigned shortly after
ward to open a butcher shop. He sold
salt pork and bacon to the founders
of this city over the counter of the
first meat shop in this section. The
only fresh meat available in the fifties,
Mr.. Kirmayer says, was wild game and
his ability as a hunter enabled him tc
ers who dwelt in rude homes along
the banks of the Missouri.
Sedentary habits have not laid hold
of this piolneer, altho he is within four
years of the century mark.
He was born in an Austrian prov
ince in 1926. A few years later the
province changed hands and he was
reared as "a German. He excelled in
I outdoor sports early in life. During
mis- boyhood he became proficient as
a jockey and rode a great race before
the German emperor and empress.
He became apprenticed as a butcher
and after mastering the trade came to
America.
| He finally found work as a teamster
at Fort Leavenworth and settled here.
| He made many trips over the old Fort
| Riley route when great herds of buff
faloes roamed the ,prairies along the
road. Mr.. Kirmayer was an intimate
friend of the father of the late Buff
falo BilP' Cody.
Age has failed to dim the memory
of this old resident and he delights
in accounts of the early history of
