PADEREwSKI on MUSIC IN
AMERICA

Columbus Evening Dispatch
asks the question: rs the appre-
citation Of high class music in
America growing or deelining?"
and goes on 10 say that one may
read much from musical critics
that leads towards the pessimis-
tic answer TO this question, and
certainly il cannot be denied
that anyone who listens to that
which most frequently passes for
music gets even more persuasive
evidence in the same direction.
II seems not difficult to ina
CINE that music is destined TO go
down, for the time being. in a
hopeless conflict with a rival that
hardly deserves any other name
than mere noise.
II Is encouraging. however, to
stop and think that in spite Of all
this a musician Of the rank Of
Ignace Padercwski can come to
America and go away again filed
with the enthusiasm for what
seems TO him TO be a striking pro-
gress in the appreciation of high
grade music, made by America
within the past quarter of a CEN
fury.
Where there were hundreds"
he says to Paris newspaper
man, who twenty years ago
could 40 TO listen TO classical
music. there now are many
thousands, men and women, who
both understand and appreciate"

says, but all over the country.
that he found the demand for the
very best, and the demonstrative
appreciation Of il when il was
given.
He could feel the people vibrat-
ing in sympathy. he says. and
could realize a great difference in
the situation, as compared with
his early experience in America,
many years ago.
All Of this ought to have val
liable lesson for American young
men and women Of real musical
ability who are throwing that
ability away on the trivial. be-
cause the trivial happens for the
moment to be popular.

IL murder and wanton killing
shall be eliminated from actual
life, it becomes first necessary to
Danish them or any reference to
it. from the imaginary" life,
rather than by legalizing-a life
for a life policy.
Newspapers too could well af-
ford to refrain from 50 much pub
licity, in such matters.
And in concluding. too much
ease and luxury. without work,
will spoil any boy. A little sweat
(prespiration) in their teens, will
correctly temper their bean.

EGG COOPERATIVE WORK
BOOMING

w. ]. Corwin, of THE Far

egg and poultry marketing activi-

steady progress is being made in
the organization of district asso-
Citations.
The following districts are sell
ing: No. 1. Faribault, No. 5,
0watonna. No. 6, st. James, and
No. 8. Madison. Associations
which are getting their supplies
in shape and expect to start as
soon as they have everything
ready include: No. Is. Aitkin,
No. II, Albert Lea, and No. 20,
Winnebago. A number of dis
tricts are also well along in their
campaigns. The Twin City dis
trlct has about one-thlrd Of its
quota.
Mr.. Corwin reports that the
total membership in the state is
now over 1900. Association
memberships range from 800 to
1900. This means a guarantee of
from 35 to 100 cars of produce
for a years business. On such a
basis definite plans may be made
by those in charge of the associa-

MORE CARE AT CROSSINGS

Another railroad crossing acct
dent in Pine county-thc latest
ut Cloverton where the lives OF
two young men were laid down,
again brings TO mind the great
necessity for more careful driv-
ing. Accidents may happen TO
the best of automobile drivers
but they are more apt TO happen
where the driver Of the car is
not alert and careful.
Stop. look and listen" is not
meant TO be just merely a good
sounding phrase but il means
TO stop at all railroad crossings,
then look TO make sure il there
are any oncoming trains before
starting the auto again and on
top Of that also listen. II that
little precaution was always car
ried out and we all have time
TO do 1.-THE number Of crossing

enormous sums Of money saved.
Hardly "A month passes here at
Askov but that there is one or
more narrow escapes at the To-
cal crossing and unless folks learn
10 stop before crossing the rail-
road there will be more deaths
to report at this point. We have
had some serious accidents in the
past but can expect more any
time. II will not delay an auto
a half minute to come TO a full
stop before reaching the cross
ing, And coming to a full stop
is the only real safety. II should
be a national law and perhaps
will be some day il the manning

Always keep in mind when APP

that you never know when a

the driver Of a car with passen-

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

Hon. Harry c. Smith has filed his
papers as candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination in the Republican
primaries in Ohio and with him is
George W. Shankin, who aspires to the
position of Lieutenant Governor in the
same State. Mr.. Smith figures that as
there will be so many white candidates
as aspirants for the position, he and
his colleagues have chance Of landing
the nomination. We are of the opinion
that the immediate effect will be to in.
crease the white vote and that in doing
this line will be gotten in advance as
to the size of that vote in the presiden-
tial election.
Mr.. Smith polled sixty-one thous-
and and eighty-one votes when he
was a candidate for Secretary
Of State some time ago. 1t Is evident
that he has the Republican bosses wor:
ried. He Is one of the ablest colored
leaders in the country. He has enunci-
ated platform that is absolutely color
less and unless some one would prev1-
ously advise the voter no one would
think or imagine that it was conceived
in the mind of a citizen OF color.

Despite the increased migration of
colored people North, the report shows
some progress in real-estate and per
sonal property values as relating to
this particular race of people. Auditor
Moore shows that the colored people
own personal property to the value OF
($15,SSS,233) Fifteen Million, Eight
Hundred and Thirty-eight Thousand,
Two Hundred and Thirty-three Dollars.
They own real-estate valued at ($53,
516,174) Fifty-three Million, Five Hun
dred and Sixteen Thousand, One Hun
dred and Seventy-four Dollars. The
total value of the property, real and
personal owned by them is ($69,354,
400 Sixty-nine Million Three Hun
bred and Fifty-four Thousand, Four
Hundred and Seven Dollars. 1t seems
to us that this is conclusive proof that
the colored people are thrifty and that
the great mass of our people are doing
all they can do to advance the indus
trial and financial interests of the sec.
ton in which they live.

FLOODS SPREAD TYPHOID

RICHMOND, VA. July 31-Prelimi
nary morbidity statistics for June
show an increase of approximately ten
per cent over the corresponding month
of 1928. This was anticipated.
When the great floods of the past
spring occurred, the health department
issued warnings to those living in the
flooded sections. The waters overflow
ing the low lands left much germ laden
material which the everpresent flies
have been carrying to human food.
After the flood it was too late to talk
about the sanitation that would have
prevented danger but great stress was
laid upon screening houses as protec-
tion against the present menace and of
Increasing sanitary arrangements as a
precaution for the future. If the later
reports are no worse than those that
have been received, the health authori
ties will be reasonably satisfied. Most
of the increase, practically all Of it
comes from districts that were flooded
and it must be remembered that 1923
showed the lowest sickness and death
rate from typhoid ever recorded in vir
ginia. Since the first months of 1914

work is progressing not as rapidly as
the health department would wish but
steadily and increasingly.
Th5s sanitary work, which includes
the protection Of water supplies as
we'll as the disposition of human excre
ia, is the only certain precaution
against typhoid and its kindred bowel
troubles. That is why the health work
ers lay such stress on this type of
work.

Although the several small streams
in this community overlooked their
banks and flooded the surrounding
lowlands on Saturday to a depth OF
several feet very little or no damage
was sustained as a consequence. The
bridge that spans Snowy Creek at
point near here was covered to the
depth of four or five feet. A number
of the employees of the tannery who
reside on the opposite side of the
stream reached their homes after
delay of several hours in waiting for
the water to recede. The concrete
bridge that forms part of the State
highway near the West Virginia Tu-
berculosis Sanatorium was flooded to
the depth of four feet that extended
over the road for quite ways re-
sembling a large lake. A number OF
motor cars enroute to Terra Alta
abandoned the idea of reaching their
destination and turned back, altho
the car that conveyed the writer went
right along through the water.

was a business visitor to Hutton on

Mr.. Harrison Dewitt died suddenly
at his home near Offutt, short dis

was due to appoplexy.
Mrs. Martin Pendergast spent last
