Federal aid road building dur

Federal aid road building dur
ing the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1922, has progressed
steadily toward the goal of al
most 100000 miles to be includ-
ed in the federal aid highway
system, reports the bureau OF
public roads. On March 81, T..
335 miles had been com pleted
since the beginning of the fiscal
year, and with three months Of
good construction weather still
remaining it appears likely that
the 10000 miles completed in
the preceding fiscal year will at
least be equaled. At the same
time, prospects are good for
rapid progress during the com
ing fiscal year, as on March 81
there was under construction
14,010 miles and slightly more
. that 10000 miles in projects ap-
proved but which have not yet
reached the. construction stage.

hogs raised In the different sec;
tons, Professor Ferrin interprets
the figures for the state as whole
as follows: Hogs to go to market
before July first, about the same as
in 1922; sows narrowing prior 10
May first, nine per cent more; sows
to farrow after May first. three per
cent increase; pigs already narrow
ed which are still alive, 80 to eo
per cent. 1885,
, "At this season OF the year when
weather has been favorable approx.
imately 10 per cent of the pigs far
rowed are still alive" says PROBES
sor Ferrin. Additional losses, due
chiefly to Parasites and disease
while not as heavy as early in the
season, are considerable. Abnormal.
ly big inroads have been made on
the pig crop for this year Sows
which narrowed late will no doubt
save a considerably larger per cent
of their pigs and this to a small ex-
tent will counterbalance the early
| figure. Viewed from all angles, the
situation appears as follows: We
have a large supply of hogs In the
state. but there will be ready Tor
market by July first approximately
the same number as were sold in
1 -.
this year is not apt TO exceed the
total for 1922.
Reports from other states show
heavy losses of pigs. This is true
especially in Iowa. There may be a
slight increase in the number OF
pigs produced in the United States
in 1928, as compared with 1922, but
II is certain that the expectation IN
some quarters that the market viii
be badly flooded will not be realized.
! After all there is strong PROB /.
ability that consumers will want
more pork than in 1922. Business
conditions are more encouraging
than at this time last year. There
is virtually no unemployment. wage
increases are being given to a NUM-
Der of different kinds of labor. The
purchasing power of the public Is
greater than it was year ago. we
are just beginning to realize that
/ there is a decided shortage Of beef
in the range area Pork will be
substituted TO the decreasing supply
of beef Especially If the market
ing of the 1923 crop Of pigs is dis
triouted, and not punched too much
lin the three months of heavy re-
ceipts the outlook is optimistic
! rather than pessimistic."

REGARDING PRICES or HOGS

Perry Sisters Give Joint
Recital In Minneapolis

The following article is taken from
the Minneapolis Journal and is con
corning the Misses Bess and Leone
Perry, formerly of Highmore, and well
known here, who are studying music
at the McPhail Conservatory.
Bess Perry, contralto, and Leone
Perry, violinist, last night. were pre-
scented In joint recital at MacPhail
opera hall by Lora Lulsdorff and
George Kass. their respective teach
ers. Accomplishments were finely
played by James Manley for the yo-
calist and Evelyn Hansen for the
violinist. Together it all made a
pleasing and well balanced program.
Miss Bess Perry possesses a deeply
set and dark colored voice through its
rich quality capable Of expressing ey-
cry mood and sentiment. While in
many young singers the voice seems
so light and boyish that it is hard to
see how it could ever be made to lend
atmosphere to more complex musical
or poetic u~tterance, an instrument of
the order of Miss Perry's seems of the
very greatest promise, providing il
will be fully developed according to
an adequate artistic method. The
work so far seems to have borne fine
fruit, especially for the musicianlv
side OF the art, the technical aspect
yet resulting in a strong pressure or
stress upon the vocal cords that is
usual in instruments so darkly color
ed. The sometimes excessive vibrato
was 10 doubt due to nervousness.
Miss Leone Perry is perhaps not so
far advanced upon the violin as is her
sister in Song Interpretation, but she
played the ninth de Beriot concerto
with a great deal of within and cadid-
ness and also gave d'Ambrosio's "Ro-
NAME" and Cul's "Orientale" very ac-
ceptable ~renderings. Her tone is mu-
steal and was true to pitch, except in
certain passages of double stopping,
in the concerto. Like her sister, she
seems to posses genuine artistic ar
dor.

Interesting playlets at the Art Center

OF ,the three one-act productions,
two were comedies and one drama.
"The Man in the Stalls" by Albert

of we'll known veteran actors. MISS

favorite in dramatic productions
and recognized as fine Shakespear-
can actor, played the role of Hec

ridge. another finished actor, played
the third role of Walter, the lover.
CaptE Beveridge's pantomimic work
was especially commendable.

finished enactment, was naturally the
best, the two amateur productions

REPORT ON STEEL LABOR
DlSAPPOINTS PRESIDENT
Executive Had Urged Eight or Ten
Hour Schedule at Conference
With Leaders of Industry.

The published report Of the Iron and
Steel Institute opposing abolishment
of the twelve-hour day for workers In
the steel industry is a great dis
appointment to President Harding, 1t
was learned at the White House yes
terday. More than year ago the
executive conferred with leaders of
the industry, at which time he urged
adoption of an eight or ten-hour
working schedule.
The Institutes committee has for
many months been making study
of the industry to determine the pos
sibility of changing the working
hours in the steel mills Of the country
from twelve hours to eight hours.
The study was initiated following
the conference with President Hard
ing. The latter, II was explained, has
not studied the report of the commit
tee as made public, but 1t was said
at the White House that he still be-
lieves strongly in the abandonment
of the twelve-hour day and had
hoped that the committees study of
the subject would result in a COM
mitment to that end despite the
present scarcity of labor in the In
dustry.
