PIAN0FEATURED EARLY DAYSDN
 CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-Back in San Francisco's gold days noted place here was the Fl Dorado sa- loon, one of the most luxuriously- equipped resorts in America, and one of its attractions was a beautiful square piano. with fittings of silver and keys of pearl.
 When the El Dorado closed, it's owner. Colonel Thomas Jefferson Chambers, meeting with reverses, sold the piano to his friend, Sen ator John Fay, for s750. The sen- ator's children, John Fay, Luke Fay and Miss Mamie, learned their music on the piano, came to love it and re- gard it as a part of their family, and once, when the piano tuner opened it's mysteries to them, they wrote their family's name and ad- dress and Punch, the name of their dog, inside the top board.
 Finally the piano passed into other hands. Senator Fay replacing it with a later model once when the chil- dren were away at college. When the three returned they did not like the new piano as they did the old and often wished they had the old instrument back.
 Years passed and the three chill dren grew up. Not long ago Luke Fay and his wife were planning to buy new piano for their daughter Mary, when one day the telephone rang in their home. A lady was calling and she gave her name as Mrs. J. P. Mcguire. of Oakland, Cali fornia.
 'Did you, MT. Fay, ever live at 2014 Powell street. San Francisco" she asked.
 T did" Mir Fay responded, his memory skipping back over fifty years.
 "And did you have dog named Punch and piano"

 Colonel Watterson, the veteran journalist. was asked, "What do you think of the present-day woman with her bobbed hair, short skirts, and de- votion to cigarettes?"
 His answer was given in words that burn:
 "She looks like freak, and acts like harlot."
 Can the truth of these words be denied. The extravagant and shock ingly immodcst dress of many Ameri- can women must be denounced, and if woman acts in the manner de- scribed by Colonel Wattersan, she is necessarily a source of public cor ruption Colonel Watterson is neither a preacher, moralist, nor a prude, but a publicist who has rubbed shoul- ders with all sorts of people for more than sixty years. His testi- mony cannot be discounted lightly. God help the country when wom- en, good by repute, ape the garb and bearing of the so-called Host" Only moral miracle can save it.

President Harding the first day of

conditions in their section; from
the range country will be presented
a survey of conditions there, with
similar expressions of conditions
prevailing in the cotton belt, the
grain belt, and other producing
areas. in that manner, it is planned
that the entire conference may be
given a birdseye view of agriculture
as a whole, the conditions prevailing
in each of the chief divisions Of
agriculture and the problems thus
presented.

lay down d hard and fast program
in advance for the conferences con-
sidaration, but suggestions will be
made to the conference from time to
time in keeping with President
Harding's ideas in proposing that
the gathering be called.
Looking to the future, as the
president suggested in his letter of
December 30, the suggestions OF
the conference will be invited as to
best methods to be pursued in for
mulating national agricultural pol
icy Efficient ways OF providing
for the future food supply of the
nation as the population increases,
and the entire subject OF land util-

head for discussion Included with
these two topics, as a matter OF
policy for the the future. will be a
discussion of the national forestry
policy. At the present Time the
nation is consuming four times as
much timber as it is raising. The
problem is not only to use our pres
ent forests wisely, but to take ade-
quate steps to renew them to meet
future demands.
Attention will be called to the
European situation as it affects the
American farmer, and discussion
viii be invited as to what possible

The president made seven
specific recommendations, in

capital must be generously sup
piled to the farmer and at as
reasonable terms as TO other in

The government must place
more essential and scientific in
formation at the disposal Of
farmers and market orgaai2a-
tons. To aid both farmer and
consumer, measures must be
taken to prevent violent price
fluctuations which result in
"unorganized and haphazard
production. Farmers will be
benefited by far-seeing and wise
transportation policies. Fullest

sources through increased re-

Despite this concession to the
railroads the three board members
representing the railroads-Samuel
Higgins, j. H. Elliott and Horace
Baker-dissented from the majority
opinion They contended the ma
ture of the work demands 10

unjust, unfair, unreasonable, and
burdens the carrier with an uneco-

While concurring in the decision
as a whole, A. C. Wharton, one Of
the labor group members, appended
la statement asserting that time and

End Comes Suddenly to
Former Ambassador, Wis

London, Jan. 23.--Viseount Bryce
died at Sidmouth yesterday, aged

The end came peacefully, and
somewhat suddenly. Viscount Bryce
had been staying in Sidmouth for
the last three weeks. and was oX-

4 AS a man of letters and a pub

figure. Outside of his own country
he was best known in the United
States, where since the early eighties
his interests had so largely centered
that he was sometimes styled an
s."English Yankee" One remarkable
thing repeatedly said of him was
that he knew America better than
most Americans. His American

he became one Of the most notable
