FRENCH COMMEND WORK

PARIS, November George An.

poser, Is hailed as master by French
critics, who found the second per.
formance of his Symphony in +" had
more than confirmed the impression
made by the first hearing. The com
poser and Vladimir Golsiehmann were
given an ovation of an intensity
rarely heard In a French concert
room, especially to a foreign artist
Written in neoclassic style and with
what some term rather dry tech
nique, the symphony displays a
wealth of dramatic power and vigor.
Not having the stores of German
folk tunes that Beethoven and Mozart
had to draw upon, Antheil sought his
themes in the scraps of music in his
mind, dating back to childhood. These
included the popular sentimental
songs Of the 1910 period. the rag
time that came later and fragments
of symphonies heard at concerts.
Welded into composite new form, the
work moves on in direct and logical
procession to an imposing climax.

candidates for military commissions,
are a source of disquietude to re-

The deputies are urged to insist
that authorization for the present

Cancelled. and that this work be in

in Paris. caused a special police COM

Statesmen representing numerous

fort to prove how noiseless they were,
however, they footed the horns so
vigorously and constantly that the
police had to beg for mercy and fled
into the building.
The Paris police authorities recent

SOME. BRIDE!

1t is said that an editor in a Min
,nesota town was permitted to kiss
the bride at a recent wedding and
this is what he wrote, gasps another
brother newspaperman:
1.-THE bride is a young woman OF
wonderful fascination and remark
able .attractiveness, with a manner as
enchanting as the wand of siren and
a disposition as sweet as the odor OF
flowers, and a voice as joyous as the
caroling of birds, and a mind as bril-

drops trembling on coronet of vi

felicity that will thrill the senses
with the rhythmic pulsing of aesthe-

THE DISTANT FIELDS

The pastures over yender always
look greener and talking about CO.
operation amongst farmers it is also
easy to picture the cooperation in
some other country as being ideal.
If it were so ideal there farmers would
not leave the country. Read this one
from the Pioneer-Press of some time
ago:
Denmark has always been held up
to the American farmer as the ideal
state toward which he must strive for
the perfection of cooperative enter
prise. We did well-but Denmark did
it better. Apparently this is another
case of distant fields looking greenest,
for H. P. Rasmussen, a native of Den
mark, and a resident of Minnesota
for 35 years, has just returned from
a three months exploratory visit there
and he is quite of the contrary
opinion.
Addressing a meeting of farmers at
Steele Center, Monday, Mr.. Rasmus-
sen told his audience that Danish CO.
operatives are not as we'll organized
or as prosperous as those of Steele
county, Minnesota; that the condition
of the Danish farmer is on a far low
mers of Steele county; that the only
Danish co-operatives that will at all
compare with Minnesota's are their
packing plants, but that in other fields
Minnesota is so far in advance that
there is no comparison. In addition
to this, taxes, which in Minnesota are
regarded as onerous, are in Denmark
much heavier and out of proportion
to the benefits accruing from govern
ment. He declares, therefore, that he
returned to Minnesota we'll satisfied
with his lot as an American.
Denmark may have been the pi-
oneer in cooperative marketing for
agriculture, but it is evident that it
is no longer the leader and that the
farmers Of the United States, and
particularly Minnesota, have over
taken and surpassed the worlds
leaders in that economic enterprise.

this year may make them an average
of 93%. Now this is only one year
that this community has won the cup
and any other community may be the
winner in 1927. Remember, any COM
munity must win it three years before
it is their permanent property" That

FIRE Is Less

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred
fire is loss-and perhaps it is al
ways a loss. 1t is good business
plan to carry insurance and have pro-
lection. A big fire may be too big a
loss to the individual but when many
assist to carry the burden it helps.
When anybody thinks after fire that
because his building was we'll COW
cred by insurance he has little loss
he is just fooling himself. If fires
were reduced to the minimum, or say
one fourth of what we now have, the
result would be reduced insurance
rates and there would be a saving all
around.
The fire waste for the entire coun-
try for last year has been placed at
$57O,000, 000-more than SIS per cap
tia, and it has been estimated that
$150,000,000 represents the losses
from fires on farms, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This tremendous fire loss took a toll
of 10000 lives and it is claimed that
at least $500 were residents of farm
ing communities. Although some of
the causes of these fires on farms
have been determined, practically
one half of the losses have been as
signed either to spontaneous COM
bustion of farm products Or unknown
causes. .-..

TURN DOWN REQUEST FOR
CARNEGIE HERO MEDAL

Readers of the American will like
ly recollect that last summer there
were some near drownings and res
cues of party of young folks at
Grindstone lake, which was given a
lengthy report in the American.
An attempt was made to secure a
Carnegie hero medal for the two
boys who did the rescuing, but the
matter was turned down by the Car
negie Hero Fund Commission. 1t ap-
pears to be case of having been
made too much out of, but inasmuch
as the letter from the Carnegie Hero
Fund Commission contains informa-
ton of. interest to American readers
the letter is published herewith. II
is written by F. M. Wilmot, manager
of the Commission, and is addressed
to Mr.. ]. A. wye, in care of the
Journal-Press Company, st. Cloud
MINI. Mr.. wye was fieldman with
the American at the time of the neal
drownings and took an active interest
in the matter.
Here is the letter addressed to Mr.
wye: .,--.
"Your letter of November 20, re-
,ferring to acts performed by Franklin
Edward Lundberg and Eldon Hawley
was duly received.
"The Carnegie Hero Fund applies
to acts in which conclusive evidence
may be obtained showing that the
person performing the act Voluntarily
risked his own life in saving, or at
tempting to save the life of fellow
being; and only to such acts of this
kind as have been performed by per-
sons the nature of whose duties in
following their regular vocations does
not necessarily require them to per-
form such acts.
"Also, the Commission has not seen
it's way clear to give favorable con-
sideration to acts which are prompt
ed by the ties Of close consanguinity
or of matrimony. From the facts at
hand it is evident that to save the
life of Dorothy Richards, besides the
lives of his sisters, nothing was re-
quired of Master Franklin in addition
to what was done for his. sisters.
Therefore, I regret to say, we cannot
consider his case further.
Referring to the act performed
by Eldon Hawley: while it is COM
mendable, from the facts at hand 1t
does not appear that it was attended
by any extraordinary risk to his own
life; and for this reason his case,
regret to say, does not come within
the scope of the Fund"

GETS TONE FROM HOME
BY Henry Ford.

The United States is dry, not only
legally, but by moral conviction.
American sentiment is not downtown
sentiment, nor club sentiment, and
workshop sentiment, and store senti-
ment, and school sentiment, and
church sentiment. You must find the
peoples sentiment where the people
live, and they don't live down town.
Newspapers are made down town and
read in the residence sections; if they
were made in the residence sections
they would be dry. The American
home is "dry" and the American ma
tion gets it's tone from the home, not
the wet" newspaper.

Unless an agreement is reached
before that time, motion picture
machine operators in the local thea
tiers are planning to walk out on
September /.
The operators are now making
S65 week for ~ hours work. They
are demanding SIS a week and Il
4O-hour week. The present con-
tracts expire September :.
The theater managers have de-
cided to resist the demands of the
operators on the ground that such
an increase would necessitate rails
ing the admission prices.
In order to meet the situation
local managers have opened an
operators school at 307 Ninth st.
N. W., with six weeks course
for SO. The school is conducted
by Sergt III. Saurn, OF the United
States Signal Corps.
The managers claim that anyone
can learn to work the machines
in so days and that IL the operators
strike they will have enough nom
union men to FIN the positions.
What is worrying the managers
most, however, is the possibility
that the stage hands and musicians,
all unionized, would walk out with
the operators. These would be much
harder to replace.
