Islip out to the kitchen occasionally her.
self to bake pan or two.


New York - just as typical of New
York as Wall Street or Fifth Avenue
is Tin Pan Alley, the acknowledged
melody market of the world.
A decade or so ago, before song
writing became an industry regulated
by styles and changing seasons and
the whims of capricious public, this
section was located in the late Tween
ties near Sixth avenue. Because of the
barrage of sacred and profane music
that used to issue from its doors and
windows to drive the nearby tenants
into Harlem or the Bronx, it earned
the name that still clings to it now
that it has moved into the Roaring For
ties.
And the song shops of today have
changed from the clattery, dingy coops
of the old Twenty-eighth street days
with piano or so to floor to very
grand places with velvet carpets, orig
inal paintings, and perhaps a dozen
or two sound-proof compartments with
a grand piano apiece where the song
plugs come and listen to the latest
songs and get them ready for the pub
lie.

This Little World

Washington. Scouting luscious
scandal Just around the corner, which
promised to involve lot of the CAPT
tails official and social dignitaries,
Washington has been enjoying real
holiday thrill over the mysterious dis
appearance of an alleged "booze list"
The list, first announced as captured
in the possession of one of the capi-
tails elite hooch purveyors, who fell
into Roy Haynes net, seemingly van
ished into thin air Immediately after
Washington paper headlined the
fact that it included the names, as
patrons, of at least two members OF
the cabinet, several members of both
House and Senate and many persons
of prominence. Despite disclaimers
the man in the street still believes
such list existed.
The situation seems certain to all
ammunition for the fight for modi-
fcation of the Volstead enforcement
act. If such a list should finally be
forced out of hiding, it will be nailed
to a flagstaff and made the battle
flag Of the forces demanding modi-
fication. The claim will be that the
present act is unenforceable, that it
only makes law-breakers in all ranks
of society and undermines rather than
strengthens both moral and social
progress.

There is demand for popular songs
these days. The vaudeville singers
can't use song more than season,
any more that they can wear the same
gowns, season after season. People
won't dance to the same music night
after night. The Photographs must
have new tunes for records And Tin
Pan Alley must supply the demand.
One of the surest ways to get rich
quick is to write popular song. Tunes
like "Three O'Clock in the Morning"
"Dardanella," Whispering "The Love
Nest and others have been known to
earn q cool hundred thousand in royal
ties. The novice has just the same
chance as the veteran song writer.
No one knows where hit may lie.

DEBT.

Census figures show that in "a states

increased since then. A considerable

POULTRY RAISRS PLAN
Ming TO FORM COOP.
MARKETING ASSN.

A move is on foot and gathering
headway fast to form several Co-opera-
tive Poultry Marketing associations
here on the Western Slope. The plan
is to have local organizations at Pao-
mia. Hotchkiss, Cedaredge, Delta, Ola
the and Montrose, and affiliate these
under one head as a distritc branch OF
the State Exchange. There Is state
Poultry Exchange already operating
with eleven locals, all on the Eastern
Slope and they are making success
of it altho they only started junction
ing December LIST last year.
At a meeting held at the Community
Rooms in Delta on March 4th, large
group heard an explanation of this
proposition and selected an organiZa-
ton committee to go into the matter
in detail and proceed with the cam
paign if found as satisfactory as 1t
looks at first sight. This committee
is composed of L. Q. Lewis, chairman;
Mrs NJ. L. Sweitzer, secretary; q. A.
Hunter; Mrs. j. N. Crabill, N. T. Ken
nicott and F. c. Bonnell. Other mem
bers will probably be added later.
Hotchkiss, Cedaredge, Olathe and
Montrose already have their various
organization committees selected also,
the contracts. A meeting will be held
at Paonia on the 22nd of this month
and they are getting acquainted with
the plan and posted as to the facts SO
as to start out soon on the campaign
70 axnlaiD tho movement and eDdpavOr
to secure the necessary signatures
to secure the cooperation of that COM
munity which i spractically assured.
In fact where ever this plan has been
mentioned it has been found that the
poultry raisers are eager for it, as
they realize they must take hand in
their own marketing problems if they
are to receive the most profit possible
from their labors.
The associations plan to handle
eggs, and poultry both live and dress
ed OF all kinds. Headquarters for this
Western Slope branch will undoubted-
ly be located in Delta. Products will
be gathered from the other nearby as
sociations, after the local demands
have been supplied, and consolidated
into carload and lot shipment from this
point.
The Exchange and the Associations
are founded to the Sapiro plan which
promises a business-iike basis and the
other necessary fundamentals for sue
cess. The volume of business in this
district is evidently sufficient, SO it
seems that all that is needed now is
just to let the poultry raisers know
that such plan is underway and give
them chance to cooperate with their
neighbors. From the expressions of
opinion of those who have heard the
plan explained 1t is expected that the
campaign will go over big with far
more than the necessary fifty per cent
of signers in each district.
