Last night on the balcony of the
Elks Home the Rawlins High School
Band gave a short concert which was
thoroughly enjoyed by a large num-
Der of Rawlinsites. The concert was
certainly very good and when one

even read band music much less play
an instrument, their performance last
night was all the more remarkable.
The boys have gone ahead without
saying much and under the direction
of Owe Peterson they are becoming

great credit for their stick-to-it-

Credit Rating
of Finland Is
Raised by Nurmi
By United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. 21-Thc sturdy
performances of Finland S great
group Of amateur athletes, headed
by Paavo Nurmi, have raised the
credit rating of the little Baltic ma
ton at least $l0,00O,O00 in the opin-
ion of Leonard Astrom, Finnish
minister to the United States.
The relaxation of amateur ath-
ictics to national fiancc was brought
out here today when story was
told in the street, of u dinner at
the home of Charles Mitchell, prcsi-
dent ef tile City National Bank, at
which Astrom conferred the highest
decoration of Finland, the Order
of the White Rose, on the banker
The conversation .natnrallv turn
cd to Finland's great showing at
the Olympic games in Paris and
the unprecedented PcrfokMances of
Nurmi aud his brother Finns. AS
from found TO his amazement that
bankers had been more impressed
by the showing of the nation in
amateur athletics than in declaring
independence from Russia.
We believed" " Mitchell said,
''that a nation wlich could raise
such sturdy athletes could pay its
bills and we changed tn. credit rat
ing of Finland accordingly."

ALFALFA CROP YIELD

DIR. SOULE SEES FORTUNE IN
ALFALFA AND TOBACCO
CROPS IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Ga.-An alfalfa crop
from north Georgia that will yield
$30,000,000 a year and tobacco crop
from south Georgia that will yield
$50,000000 a year That is the vision
for the near future that DR.. A. M.
Soule president of the State Agricul-
tural College at Athens, Ga, sees, ac-
cording to his own statement in a
speech delivered recently before a
group of leading Georgia business
men and agriculturists.
Every one knows how rapidly the
south Georgia tobacco crop is develop
ing as leading factor in the states
prosperity, but few realize the practi-
cally unlimited possibilities in alfalfa
as a crop for the northern part of the
state.
Interest in alfalfa as crop has been
accentuated during the last few weeks
by the presence in Georgia of J. H.
King, president Of the Yume (Ariz.)

FEDERAL AID PLAN
HITS STATE RIGHTS
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR SAYS
IT'S LIKE SALTY PRETZEL
THAT WHETTED THIRST.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-President
Coolidge has found vigorous cham
pion in the senate for his opposition
to further extension of federal aid to
states in Senator William c. Bruce,
of Maryland, a man Of opposite po-
litical faith.
Federal aid, in Bruces opinion, is
cone of the subtle and pernicious
ruses" whereby the republican party
is trying to turn over to the federal
government the powers of the states
to govern themselves.
Like the salty pretzel with which
the old-time saloon keeper whetted
the thirst of his patrons, federal aid
induces the states to despoil them
selves with their own hands of the
domestic Jurisdiction with which they
were endowed by the constitution, +"
he says.
Bruce led a fierce but unsuccessful
fight against the largest item of fed
eral aid, the $75,000000 a year fed
era good roads bill
I'VE must terminate this practice,
unless we are to become a pure bu-
reaucracy and relinguish all state
rights into the incompetent hands Of
the government" Bruce said.
Serious Inroads Made.
State aid has already made serious
inroads on states rights, he continued.
Examples of federal usurpation he
cited are the Smith Hughes act for
joint promotion of vocational educa-
ton; the Smith-Lever act for cooper
alive extension of agriculture; the
good roads appropriation bill; the
Sheppard Towner maternity and in
FAINT welfare act; the Chamberlain
Kahn disease control bill, and the in
dustral rehabilitation act.
"One of the greatest mistakes is to
believe that the idea of state sover-
eignty>is peculiar to the south" Bruce
continued. Il am sorry to say that
while the south has been drifting away
from the principle the north has been
swinging back. Nowhere is the doc
trine of self-government hourishing
more strongly than in the New Eng
land and central states"
