AN AMERICAN VICTORY

The triumph of Marion Talley at the Metropol-
tan Opera House is a national event. When 10 year
old girl from Missouri takes by storm blase audience
Of New Yorks social elite and stops the show with
her repeated curtain calls it means end to foreign
domination of American music. We have seen native
talent triumph before, but like this, with home
crowd present to cheer for the singer if
football game, and the metropolitan crowd sharing
their spirit
Let it be observed, too, that this prima donna
IS like most great singers of humble parentage. Her
father newspaper telegraph operator, sat behind the
scenes she sang, and tcked off for the countrys
morning papers the news of her success.
Here is fine minging of democracy and art,
which according to superior persons will never
blend.
Here, too is an example of the best natonalism,
which should mean less flag-waving and sword-rattng
and more friendly competition in the Of peace.
The world isn't quite yet that artistic talent and
appreciation are better than wholesale killing but that
may in time.

WHERE WOMEV TALK LEAST

It IS commonly believed that women do more
than their share of talking in this life Yet they do
ou-tak their fellow legislators in the British
House of Commons.
According to official records, women parliament
tarians are far from the lead in alking Miss Wkin-
son. labor member 39th on the list of speakers
piled with reference to length of utterance Lady AS
tor is one-hundredth on the same list.
Silence, however contrary to the accepted theory,
is not always golden. The value of legislators ST.
lence must depend somewhat on what he--or She
says when speaking, and on what subjects under
discussion when silence is aned and on what ef
fects that silence has in forwarding retarding
worthy legislation.

tails of farm legislation sought by

Moines agricultural conference were
gone over today by the house agricul-
ture committee, with William Hirth,
chairman Of the corn belt committee,

his opinion federal control Of surplus
crops would not disturb the balance
Of production and that federal farm
board, which has been recommended
to deal with the situation, could find
a solution.
Il do not believe" he said. 'that
the farmers organizations, as they
stand now, can possibly handle the
emergency as it exists"
Representative ketcham, Rcpubli-
can, Michigan, suggested that oppOn-
ents of surplus crop legislation had
contended it would result in such
heavy crops that the government
would be left "holding the bag" but
the witness would not agree to this.
The witness suggested that the
equalization fee, proposed in the
measure under consideration, and
which would go to the farm, board,
should be collected, Eat tho point of

BEEKEBPERS :

Raipd Increase in Clover Acre

The rapidity with which North
Dakota has risen to high rank among
the honey producing states is shown
by the interest beekcepors elsewhere
are taking in the opportunities which
exist here, j. A. Kitchen, commission
er of agriculture and labor, said
here today.
Recognition of North DakOta's ad-
vantages is shown by the fact that
two carloads of bees and beekecping
supplies will come into the state
this year, one from So.th Dakota and
the other from Illinois, Kitchen said
In letter to Kitchen Mrs. +. G..

crs laws and good pastures.
Mrs. Oldaker asked permission to
ship a carload Of bees and equipment
into the state, certifying that they
were free of alh bee diseases.
In Il letter from Macon. Grundy
