Tardieu and other important Frenchmen say that France must be careful about going to The Hague and dealing with Russia. because Americas attitude toward Russia is reflection of the French attitude"
 That's mistake. Americas at titude toward Russia Is reflection of the attitude of American finan- eiers foolish enough to buy the czar,s bonds.

We resemble France in one way:
 We are refusing to recognize the government of Russia, in an effort to blackmail Russia into paying the debts of the czar. This nation did not pay the debts of the south after tho north won. There is no reason why Russia, having got rid of the czar and the Grand Dukes. should pay their debts. Republicans in France and America foolish enough to lend to an autocracy should and probably will lose their money. It will be an education to them.

prohibition Is a farce. That is not quite true. Whiskey is still sold. un- fortuneateiy, and even worse whiskey than the kind that used to be sold. And the drug habit Is growing. But thers are no longer whiskey-selling saloons on every corner; four staring at each other from four corners.

VISITORS TO SPEND MUSIC
WEEK IN HAYS

Last year several Out-Of-town PEG
pie came to Hays for music festival
week. They spent the week here, just
enjoying the treat of a week of the
finest kind of music This year
there will be more of these visitors
than last year, and the number will
continue to increase from year to
year.
Such a week, spent in absorbing
the best things in music is a real vaca-
ton. Not only is Hays glad to wei
come these visitors, but Hays people
themselves might we'll take the sug-
gestion and spend the week in rest
and renewal of youth, through the
spirit of music.

ARTISTS NIGHT"

One of the outstanding features of
music festival week in the past has
been ARTISTS Night" when the solo
lists who are with US through the week
give an evening of the finest things
from opera. This year Artists Night
will be Thursday, May 4. Hereto
fore, Saturday night has been set
aside for this concert, but this year it
was necessary to place it on Thurs
day evening.
This year there will be three artists
on the program for this concert in
stead of four. Mr.. Malloy says that
really there are more things in the
operas, for two and three voices than
there are for four, and so the fact
that there are to be three artists for
that night is an advantage which ar
engagements in previous years have
not made it possible to have.
With three such artists as Ernest
Davis, Marie Sidenius Zendt. and
Gustaf Holmquist, for Artists Night,
there is bound to be a wonderful pro
gram on that evening.

ing the week. He will appear with
the F. H. n. Glee Club on Wednesday
afternoon, May 3, as we'll as in the
oratorios and artists concerts.
Ernest Davis was, to many last
year, the most brilliant single num-
Der on the festival program except
Rosa Ponselle. He was employed on
the spot for a return engagement
this year He comes about as near
being a Caruso as Hays is likely to
hear in many a day.
Marie Sidenius Zendt has sung in
Hays on several occasions. Her beau
tiful voice and her delightful and I'M
affected singing have established her
as a favorite among the artists who
have appeared in Hays. Besides
singing in the Creation and the
Messiah, and in her own and the all
Artists recitals, she will assist the
Normal School band Sextet on Fri
day afternoon, May 5.
Edna Swanson Yer Haar, contralto,
sang in the festival last year and de-
lighted her audiences. She will APP
pear the second Sunday evening, in
The Messiah, only.
Hays and Western Kansas would
have a rare treat ahead in the sing
ing of these artists even if there were
no other part to the festival.

HAYS HIGH SCHOOLS IN MUSIC
CONTESTS
VIII Have Entries In Almost Every
Division of Music Festival
School Competition

The Hays Public High School and
the Catholic Girls High School have
made entries in the public school
music contests to be held on Satur-
day, May 9th, of the Music Festival.
The public high school expects to
have entries in boys and girls glee
clubs, quartets, vocal solos, and in
orchestra and instrumental solos. The
girls Catholic high school expects to
enter a girls glee club, at least
The contest day this year will far
surpass any previous contest day of
the sort ever held here, either during
previous festivals, or even during the
DAYS of the Golden Belt Teachers
Association, when the contests were
an important part of the program
The number of kinds of contests has
been greatly increased and the num-
Der of entries will probably also be
greatly increased over any previous
contest Of the kind held here.
Inquiries concerning the contest
have come from as far east as juno
ton City, and from all parts of the
western half of the state.
There will be contests among boys
glee clubs. among girls glee clubs,
and among mixed glee clubs; there
will be boys quartet, girls quartet,
and mixed quartet contests; there will
be bass. tenor, alto, and soprano solo
contests; there viii be an orchestra
contest; and there will be instru-
mental solo contests of various kinds.
Gold, silver. and bronze medals
will be given to the first, second and
third place winners, respectively in
the solo contests. Silver loving cups
will be given to the winners in the
group contests And then, to the
school winning the largest number of
points altogether, large silver low
ing cup will be given, to be held one
year. When one school has won 1t
three times the cup becomes the
permanent property of that school.
It is expected that this contest day
will be one of the most interesting
days of he festival. With good roads
a large number Of visitors will be IN
town on that day.

fighting and often display considerable
brainwOrk. Recently, in a Cuban
rooster fight, where a little rooster was
pitted against a big fellow, the little
bird looked at his antagonist and start

WOULDN'T IT SEEM QUEER?


Hays is becoming nationally known
as the home of one of the big mus
zeal events of the year in this cOun-
try. If some Haysite were to go
visiting to some other part of the
United States this summer, and there
be asked questions about this big
music festival, wouldn't he feel queer
to have to say, "Well really, don't
know much about it; haven't ever
attended any of the programs" Of
course there are not many people in
Hays who would have to make such
a response but there are a few.
The big musical agencies tell US
that we are rated as one of the four
biggest music festivals in the cOun-
try. People travel hundreds of miles
to hear such music as will be heard
in Hays, April 80 to May 7. It is a
familiar fact that we are likely to
let the interesting and wonderful
things at home go by without seeing
or hearing them, but if we were away
from home we would not miss them
for anything.

he could obtain. This year he has
been able to obtain the very best
from among all that have been here
in other years.
Since all of these artists have ap-

necessary to go into details concern
