Violin Virtuoso To Appear
at Ironwood.

Gilbert Ross, violin virtuOso, who
despite his extreme youth, ranks well
up among leading American violin
lists, will appear at Ironwood on
Monday, May IL, at the Memorial
building.
Gilbert is a son of the well known
sociologist of the University Of Wis
consin, Prof +. A. Ross, and unless
he comes to Ironwood this Spring, it
would be difficult to obtain his ser
vices, for the reason that he plans a
tour to Europe soon, after which the
cost Of an engagement for him here
would be almost prohibitiye.
Young Ross is marvel in many
ways At seven he began to receive
lessons on the violin and within three
years it became plain that his must
cal gift would justify his aspiring to
complete mastery of the instru-
ment
After four years with Prof Leon
Sametini in Chicago, he became the
pupil Of the world-renowned master,
Leopold Auer, who. in the course Of
three years, fitted him for the con
cert stage.
Mrs. Kellenberger, an enthusiastic
musician who is interested in art for
arts sake, recently sponsored the
appearance of Arthur Shattuck, an
artist who probably ranks first
among American pianists. The APP
pearance of Gilbert Ross will mark
the appearance Of another artist.

Mothers Day.

Sunday, May 10, is Mothers, Day.
1t IS her day when the nation bows
in humility, showing reverence for
the composite Mother, who is typi-
cal of all that is good and whole
some and sympathetic.
Public recognition of the debt due
mothers, that has been growing an
nually, is a splendid testimonial to
human character, and refutation
of the common charge that people
are mercenary
A deep and abiding sentiment in
spired the idea Of Mothers Day and
has fostered it and caused It to be-
come more generally recognized
each year
Mother Is word expressive Of
tenderness and kindly sympathy.
She exemplifies the spirit of service
and self-sacrificing Iowa practi-
cal sort of love that shows itself by
giving all that it has.
II is the spirit of sympathy, APP
probation and pracucability that
makes mother unspeakably precious
and has won for her the expression
of gratitude from a thankful people
once each year.
The same measuring stick can not
be applied to all mothers. They diff
fer just as all human beings differ,
but they fulfil their obligations Of
motherhood according to their
knowledge and understanding.
There are some who are con
cerned about the future motherhood
whether the present tendencies
that detraet from the home will
low the standards of motherhood.
They need not be alarmed
Mother will ever be Mother. for
her instincts are as old as the first
mother, We're she living, and as
deeply imbedded as part of her
character Mothers Of today have
as great concern for the welfare Of
their children as Mothers ever did,
but Mothers change with the chang
ing times, and their conduct as Mo
theirs can't be judged by the same
standards as a few decades ago .-Ex.

carels.. Driving.

More than forty percent Of the
accidents involving motor vehicles
in three states during period Of
eight months were due to reckless
or careless driving.
This fact is CLEANED from statis-
tics compiled from newspaper ac-
counts Of accidents by the bureau
Of public roads of the United States
department Of agriculture.
1t is a severe indictment against
the drivers OF automobiles The in
crease in the number Of accidents
due to thoughtless operation of au-
tomobiles means but one thing
that more stringent requirements
for drivers Of automobiles viii have
to be enforced.
When it becomes necessary to
restrict the operation of motor We
hicles and burdensome and expen-
siye examinations are required, the
carful driver will suffer equally as
much as the reckless and the care
less.
ThOughtlessness that JeopardiZes
the lives of others is inexcusable.
Why persons drive automobiles
without giving consideration to the
rights Of others is past understand
ing.
Their selfishness in refusing to
recognize the rules Of the road and
use good judgment to prevent acct
dents deserves the seyerest con
demnation.
They may risk their own necks il
they wish-that is their business
but it not their right to increase
the hazard Of motoring for the
careful driver.
Public sentiment viii have to out
law the reckless driver because th'
toll ne takes is entirely too large

PHILOSOPHY

Uncle bud Says ''He who is
continually going out Of his way to
dodge trouble seldom meets up with
success. An things considered,
civilization seems to consist Of arm
ing against a nation that is arming
because it is afraid of you"
The less the legislators of any
state do, the better their constitu-
ents are satisfied.
If the crouch knew how unpopular
he is, he would crouch himself out

Listeners may hear no good of
themselves but what they do hear

A reactionary is fellow who
is travelling ahead with his feet

The difference between posi-

that says it doesn't pay.
Balloon trousers may be fash
ionable but they look. like an ac-
cident that has started out to hap

Breaking one law in order to en-
force another is just like throwing
away a handful Of gold in order
to pick up handful of brass.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAJJS
President Of American Society for Thrift

The most valuable possession any
one can have is good health. often
this fact is lost sight of until it is too
late.
That the span of human life is
steadily lengthing is shown by
recent statistics The Massachusetts,
death rate is used as the basis Of
these computations because such
records have been kept there longer
than anywhere else in the country
In 1889 the average length of life in
that commonwealth was 355 years
BY 1855 it had increased to so years.
In 1901 it was AT years; in 1910,
52.2 years and in 1921, $50 years.
Nationwide reports show that as the
result Of scientific disease preventive
efforts, the average expectation of
life has been heightened four years
during the last eleven years
II has been officially stated that
50 per cent Of the deaths in New
York State last year resulted from
preventable or postponable diseases.
thus showing the possibilities that
exist for the prolongauon OF the
average life,
While much is being done through
various state and municipal govern
ments. these results can be greatly
enhanced by individual effort As
IS the ease in financial matters. much
depends ON attention 10 detail and
iuCeSsant watchfuluess.
The old saying that IAN ounce OF
prevention is worth pound Of cure.
has by no means outlved its use
fulneSs.
Thrift of health IS matter upon
which much personal attention can
be centered 70 very great advantage.
II by living more simply and more
senSibly we can greatly increase our
daily efficiency and prolong the
years Of our usefulness. it is the part
Of good thrift to do So.

chow TO INVEST
YOUR MONEY!
E
By Bayud Dominick,
President the Better Business Bureau
Of New York City.

THE PARTIAL-PAYMEN PLAN
This helpful method of selling secur-
tiles has been much abused.
People who prefer to buy securities
out of their weekly or monthly earn
ings are sometimes victimized by pre-
tended brokers or by vendors of
stocks which have little or no value
In one instance notorious firm, with
Offices in II cities, took orders for
good securities on installment pay
ments, not intending, however, to ex-
ecute such orders. After a customer
had paid in about half the amount of
his, purchase and his confidence in
the firm was established he was per-
suaded to turn his payments to a pur-
chase of other stocks which were in
dorsed strongly by the firm These
stocks proved to be of no value, and
the investor eventually lost all he had
paid in. This is known as the
|"switching" process, and is frequently
used to victimiZe investors.
All honest securities dealers de-
plore activities of this sort. and unite
in warning the investor to buy on the
|partial-payment plan My after max
ing sure of the financial responsibility
and standing OF the firm with which
he does business.

RY the Associated Preks.

BY the Assoclated Pregs-
NEW YORK, April s-The cotton
market was lower early today on re-
ports of rains in the Southwest. The
opening was easy at a decline of 10 to
22 points. and active months sold
about 80 to SO points net lower under
liquidation, local and Southern selling.
Liverpool received the rain news be-
fore trading started here, and had some
selling orders in the local market, while
the demand was attributed chiefly to
covering. May broke to 24.02, July
to 24.31 and October to 24.01, making
new low ground for the movement on
the old crop positions. The early
weather map showed rainfall of more
than an inch In the Oklahoma City
section. and private advices reported
rains or showers at a number of
points in Texas.
Selling on the rain news was pro-
NOTED by a favorable Interpretation

port. which said planting had made
excellent progress except in the
Southwest.
New Orleans Quotations.
NEW ORLEANS, April s.-The cot
ton market opened easier in sym
pathy with lower cables than due, and
also because of private reports of
good rains in portions of Texas and
indications Of more. First trades
showed losses of 20 to Is points. The
weekly weather report was considered
favorable, and this fact caused prices
to ease off further right after the
