FRANCK SYMPHONY

Cesar Franck's glorious ID Minor
Symphony" one of the most beautiful
ever written. was the feature of the
concert at Central High School last
night by the New York Symphony Or
chestra. under the direction of Walter
Damrosch.
The writings of Franck. who is of
the modern school but not the ultra
modern, are the kind that grip the at
tention and hold it throughout. He
has explored new fields. with Chro-
mates and ,modulations running all
through his work His melodies are
original and are wholly free from any
faint of triteneSs.
The symphony opens with a lento
movement, rather somber in mood.

crescendoes which subside as quickly
as they arise. The mood soon changes.

Second Movement.
The second movement. allegretto,
opens with a soft. almost whisper

lish horn breaks with a new theme,
spoken very softly. Some of the wood
winds pick it up. then the cellos and
finally the violins until the entire
orchestra is airing with stirring mel

The finale, an allegro movement,
opens with the secondary motif of
the symphony. 1t is more dashine
than the first and is a typical Franck
rhe unknown. Through
key after key the theme progresses

are hardly noticeable, yet a growing
eXhilaration comes with each step up

harmony, a climax is reached and the
music quickly reverts to the softer,
more ina ginative melody of the first
movement. Again the secondary
motif is picked up by the wind in
instruments, while the strings hold &c

ROME, December 9.-In League of
Nations circles here the recent retire
ment of John Campbell from the inter-
national opium conference at Geneva
as the representative of India is ex-
planned as being due to the fact that he
was purposely withdrawn by the In
dian office of the British government
following a conflict with the American
delegation.
1t is said here by opium conferepce
observers that the British authorities
considered Campbell employed unfor-
tunate tactics in supporting midas
opium case at Geneva, particularly in
charging the Americans with lack of
good faith and in accusing Stephen G.

Members of the League of Nations
council are displaying deep interest
in the Geneva opium negotiations and
are apprehensive that any failure of
the conference to achieve hoped-for
results will react abroad against the
league. Several council delegates said
today they deemed such a reaction I'M
fair and unjustified, since the league
is merely a mechanism for holding in
terna tional conferences whose success
or failure depends, in each case, on the
participating governments and not on
the league as an institution.

leagues permanent advisory commit

Five Brothers Achieve
Success of Richland
County HOmeStea ads

As a demonstration of the op-
portunity offered by the agricui-
turaI possibilities of Montana, one
of two family illustrations out
standing in Richland county is
that of the Hardy family.
Five brothers, Frank, Henry
Sam, Charlie and John, with William
Lewis, came into this section from
Wisconsin, about 1905.
Some settled under the ditch and
others back on the uplands. They
were all making homes and started
out like they intended to stay. Work
ing as individuals, no one case is
outstanding above the rest. All are
rich, and while it has not been ne
cessary to lend assistance to any one
of the individuals, all were in easy
reach of the other.
Each of their farms is modern.
The manner of filling the soil has
been the generally accepted best
method and in all cases the returns
for the end of each year have proved
their system to be correct and prof
liable.
In no case was IL one-crop pro
position. Bonanza farming was the
diametrical opposite to what one
would find on Hardy farm. Stock
raising and sheep feeding along with
crop rotation was the rule each year.
Some years ago one of the Rich
land county banks was for sale. The
of the Hardy family bought
the institution. Outside of taking
positions on the directors board,

URGE SWINE GROWERS TO
WATCH FOR HOG CHOLERA

October and November are the
months when the dread disease, hog
cholera, is most likely to appear.
During these months and until the
snow covers the ground swine rails
ers are urged by the United States
department of agriculture to be
especially observing when feeding
hogs in the morning. Amy animals
in the herd which fail to come to
their feed, and particularly those
having abnormalIy arched backs and
rough coats, should be removed
promptly from the rest of the herd.
In some cases hogs sick with chol-
era die within few days; in others
the disease may assume a chronic
form and linger for several weeks. If
cholera is suspected a competent vet
erinarian should be called immmed-
lately to make a proper diagnosis
and to apply the preventive serum
treatment if cholera is present. Hog
cholera destroys more hogs in the
United States than all other diseases
combined. The losses have amount
ed to more than 100000 hogs in
one year and the money losses reach
many millions of dollars yearly.
