CROWD AT. UNIQUE RECITAL
o-Piano Arrangement by Washburn
Musicians PIeaSeS.

A large crowd attended the recltal
for two pianos given last n1ght IN
Washburn chapel by Frank S Kenyon
and Helen Scott, of the faculty OF the
school of music.
An interesting program of widely
varying numbers was presented by MI
Kenyon and Miss Scott, who are plan
lists of real ability. 1t ranged from
Grieg's arrangement of the Mozart
sonata in &C. thru Percy Granger s
.'Children's March and Chabrier' S
Spanish Rhapsodie" to the Concerto
in B flat minor" by Tschaikowski-
All of the numbers made severe de-
mands upon the skill of the p1anlsts,
but they were met in a way that was
a delight to the hearers. The per-
formers had complete command OF
their instruments, and played with an
exquisite understanding of the music.
Both Mr.. Kenyon and Miss Scout,
who is his pupil, will give individual
rentals later in the season.

URGE FARMER AID
Expect Harding to Place Situa-
ton Before Congress.
Final Draft of Next Message Is
Now Being Prepared.

Washington, Dec. 6-Rural credits
legislation, sal to have the approval
of administration officials and propos-
ing to create a farm credits depart
ment as part of the present farm
loan system, was introduced simulta-
neouSly in the senate and house today
by Senator Lenroot. Republican. Wis
consin, and Representative Anderson,
Republican, Minnesota.
The two bills, similar in most par
tfculars, woUlC make available for
farm loans a total of $60,000,O0O, dis
tributed equally among the twelve
eminent subscription to the twelve
banks totals only $12,OOO.O00. The
banks would be authorized to redis-
count farm paper having a maturity
of from six months to three years.
Washington. Dec. 6.-President
Harding today began the final draft
of his forthcoming message to con-
gress, which will contain more rec
concentrations for relief of farmers
of the country than any presidential
paper in recent history.
Conferences the president has had
with western and midveStern repre-
SentativeS in congress end the unde-
niable unrest and dissatisfaction thru
out the rural sections, as revealed IN
the Mover =, election, have combined
to convince Mr. Harding there is no
problem lutte so pressing as the agrt-
cultural situation.
The president probably will go to
congress on friday, altho the exact
hour has not been determined. His
engagement to lunch with Georges
Clemenceau, the former French pre-
mier, will prevent his going tomor-
row. By going on Friday. the presi-
dent will have the benefit of last
minute opinions of his cabinet on the
message. whio he plans to lay before
the regular session that day.
Must Have Relief.
The seriousness of the farmers pre-
dicament may be cleaned from the
fact that President Harding recently
has been informed that no less than
half a millioI farm mortgages will be
foreclosed during the next year unless
some aid is speedily forthcoming
Credits and better marketing facilities
alone can bring relief, the president
has been told by his advisers, and it
is upon the two subjects that Mr..
Harding will place the burden of his
message.
Coupled with the presidents recon-
mendation on agricultural relief prob
ably will be a recommendation for the
lifting of the immigration bars to let
in cheaper labor" High prices for
labor and low prices for crops have
been the farmers chief source of COM
plant.
Industries in the cities have stripped
the farms of labor and the only saliva
ton seen by the administration is to
lower slightly. the barriers that are
now keeping thousands of immigrants
out of the country.
May Urge Change in Law.
There is a good deal of uncertainty
as to just how far the president will
go in advocating changes in the pres
ent immigration law. The cabinet is
divided on the notwithstanding of
the Treasury Mellon being for a pro-
nounced revision of the law and Sec
rotary of Labor Davis being equally
opposed to any appreciable revision.
1t is probable Mr.. Harding will treat

a desire to skip them but because the
short time intervening between now

gress and the enormous amount OF
work ahead preclude any ambitious
program
Light on Other Issues.
Railroad conditions, the prohibition
enforcement situation, the merchant
marine bill, these and others. will be
only touched on in passing because the
president realizes if congress passes
the merchant marine bill and effects
agricultural relief in addition to pass
ing the regular appropriation bills il
will have to be kept in a continual
state of perspiration until March 4.
The president is still staunchly of
the opinion that there will be no need
of a special session next summer.
Consequently, administration whips
will endeavor to get out of the way in
the next four months all of the mat
tiers that would necessitate another
session after March 4.
