The office of Secretary J. c. Mohler
of the state board of agriculture is
being swamped with requests for his
booklet entitled kansas, a Prodigy
of Production Requests are coming
from all sections of the state for the
pamphlet, Mr.. Mohler said, and only
a few OF the $4,000 copies originally
printed remain on hand. This booklet
is summary of the many agricultural
advantages and supremacies of the
Sunf1ower state. The first copies ot
it appeared at the Kansas Free Fair
here i'll September, but the publication
did not receive any great circulation
until recently when the secretary be-
gan putting one copy in each letter
leaving the board of agriculture
offices.

Former Senator Albert j. Beveridge,
whose Life of John Marshall has
taken its place as one OF the classics
OF American biography, has begun a
companion work on Abraham Lincoln.
''I hope" he says, ito be able to con-
tinue the constitutional Interpretation
of America, weaving it about the life
of Abraham Lincoln, as 1 did the first
part of the constitutional interpreta-
tion OF America about the life of John
Marshall. During the time he was
completing theA last two volumes of
Marshall he says again, THE question
continually required to me, who took
up and carried forward MarshalPs
philosophy to its conclusion? OF
course, it was Lincoln. 1t. therefore,
seemed to me that it would be useful
to the public to write this continual
ton Of the development of American
institutions as presented in the hfe'
work and thought of Abraham Lin
coin" Senator Beveridge does not in
tend to- hurry this colossal task which
he has set himself He believes
strongly that to withdraw from the
world and write a book of this sort Il. Is
a dangerous proceeding, so he will
continue his active public life during
the months or years he will spend on
the book. What the public at large
lost in the recent elections in Indiana
the reading public will gain. Hough-
toni ifflin are publishers.
The DiaPs award of two thousand
dollars, given annually-by the Dial
Magazine to a young American writer
in recognition of his service to let-
tiers, goes this year to T. s. Eliot, poet
and critic.
T. S. Eliot was born in 1888 in st.
Louis, Mo-; he is a graduate of Har-
ward and studied at the Sorbonne and
at Oxford, has been a lecturer, editor
and banker. For the first few years
in which his poems appeared he was
known to only a small number OF
readers, but his first book of poems
and his long poem, 1.-THE Waste Land"
which has just been published, have
established him, in the opinion of
critics, as without question the most
significant of the younger American
writer's. Abroad, and especially in
France. he is held to be, in addition,
the leader of the strictest and most
intelligent school of literary criticism.
Only one volume of his critical work
has been published, under the title
of 1.-THE Sacred Wood
This is the second time the Diafs
award has been made, the first time
being\to Sherwood Anderson, novelist.
The award differs from the general
run of prizes in that there are no con-
ditions and there is no contest. In
making the award the Dial does not
intend to indicate that one of it's con-
tributors is better than another. The
purpose of the award is simply to
give one young American writer

Harper & Brothers. publishers, an
nounce that their new home will be
on the north side of Thirty-third
street, directly adjoining the. Wander
bilt hotel on the west Douglas Gibbons
& Co. have closed a lease for a build
ing to be erected for the great pub
fishing house by interests connected
with the Vanderbilt Hotel Corpora

more.
Speculation has been great regard
ing the new Harper location since the
publishers recently made public the
fact that they were going to move
from their present location at Frank
lin Square in which the firm has lived
during the los years since it was born.
The lease is for a period of twenty
six years and involves approximately
a million dollars. The Harpers will
occupy the building exclusively, and
work on it will begin at once, as they
expect to move in early next year.
The plans for the building, which will
be of Harvard brick, call for a Geor-
gian facade to date back to the estab-
lishment of Harper & Brothers.
Pirandel1o's satiric play, "Six Char
acterS in Search of an Author" is the
sensation of the autumn season in
New York City. and other cities will
doubtless have, the opportunity of see
ing it later. Altho this is Americas
first opportunity for acquaintance
with his work, Pirandello has long
been famous as author and playwright
in all the countries of Europe. On the
heels of the interest he has at once
excited in the United States, comes
the announcement from E. P. Dutton
& Co. that they have ready for i'm
mediate publication a volume of his
dramas to be called Three Plays" and
containing, in addition to six Char

How really effective the work

Russian music has been much to
the fore in American concert halls of
late years. largely because OF the pres
ence of several Russian operas in the
repertoire of the Metropolitan Opera
company, and also on account of the
success of the many ballots of Rus
sian origin which have been presented
by such artists as Pavlowa, Mordkin
and Iljinsky. Guy Maier and Lee
Pattison, the pianists. deserve credit
for its introduction in still another
form, that of compositions for two
pianos.
Among the pieces which they have
been playing recently in their recitals
for two pianos is The Orgy by Him
sky, a work of an exceptionally orig
inal and interesting nature which has
made an unusual impression wherever
it has been heard. It will be given
here when they play at the auditorium
on the evening of December 8.
