MORE MUSICIANS THAN
CLERGYMEN

Musicians in the United States
considerably outnumber the clergy
men and lawyers, according state
ment enlanating from the Conn
Music Center. There are almost
three times as many people earning
a living through music as there are
drilling teeth or playing behind the
footlights. These figures are for
people entirely dependent on music
for livelihood. 1t does not include
the tens of thousands doing part
time work teaching, singing in
choirs or earning extra dollars on
the side with violin or saxophone.
Another interesting comparison is
that there are five times as many
musicians as there are journalists.
journalism has for some years been
a recognized vocational subject in
the public schools, involving elab-
crate equipment, school publications,
miniature printing presses and the
like in order that the boy who wants
to be second Pulitzer or Joseph
Medill may get his preliminary
training and experience at the same
time he is learning the three RS
and without additional expense.
But until recently music in the
schools has been largely confined to
assembly singing and regarded as
cultural rather than vocational part
of the curriculum.
OF later years, however, school
bands and orchestras have been
greatly on the increase and the
economic value of giving any apt
pupil the foundation of a musical
education is being more clearly
recognized each year
Further evidence that America is
rapidly becoming one OF the leading
musical nations in the world is
found in the increase of the manu-
! facture of musical instruments, ac-
cording to the Music Center. In
1914, there were 100000
worth of musical instruments manu-
featured while nine years later in
1928, this figure had more than
doubled, amounting to $242,00O,OOO.

munity bands are the. rule rather
than the exception everywhere, not
to include the large body of indus
trial, school and university bands
and orchestras. Grand opera, that
most difficult of all musical flower
ings to keep healthy, is f1ourishing
in thirteen distinct grand opera
companies which, going on tour,
cover most of the United States.
"If these encouraging evidences
of musical consciousness exist
today continues the Conn Music
Center, what may we not look for
when two or three more generations
have studied instrumental music in
school as a part of their regular
work, and when every family can
furnish it's own chamber music as
we'll as tSeing an intelligent and
appreciative audience 2"

CINDERELLA" cow
BECOMES CHAMPION

A. new kind of Cinderella" was
crowned Queen before the thousands
who witnessed the judging Of the Grade
Holsteins at the 1926 National Dairy
Show, which closed recently at the
Michigan State Fair Grounds, Detroit.
1t is said that there are three hum
bred and forty-fve variations of the
Cinderella" story, which has for long
years been one of the favorite fairy tale
themes in practically all nations of the
world. Countless millions of children
have been delighted and inspired by the
telling of it in more languages than you
have fingers on your hands.
The story, you remember, deals with
the girl who is wasting her charm and
beauty in an atmosphere of sackcloth
and ashes until the fairy prince comes
along and lifts her up to her rightful
place in the world.
In the dairy world there has prob
ably never been COW so justly entitled
to the title of cinderella" as the COW
which was named Champion Grade
Holstein of the 1926 National Show.
Four years before her rise to fame
she came to the attention of her fairy
prince, who, in the guise of a herdman,
was travelling through Chenango
County, New York State. He was seek
ing grade cows which were fairly repre-
sentative of the sort of cows on which
most dairymen depend for their Gveli-
hood, the grade cows which form about
97% of the 100000 dairy cattle in
the country.

its earliest measurements, appears to
have been 10000 square miles, with

Accompanied by rather mOCley
assortment of mixers, this COW of un-
known past and performance was
shipped to Larro Research Farm, near
Redford, Mich, which is maintained by
the Larrowe Milling Company for ex-
perimental and research work. She was
a thin and bedraggled beast--weighing
only 9S5 lbs, and with an udder giving
little indication of the capacity she
later showed.
But in the following four years, with
good care and feed, she MIXED AZ ,572.3
lbs, an average of IL 1903 lbs. per year,
with her best yield 17,821.1 lbs. in
800 days, and had three calves. When
she went into the show ring at the 1926
National, having been entered by the
Larrowe Milling Company as part of
their educational program, she weighed
just little less than 1900 lbs.
In the class for cows with G. T. A..
production records of 300 lbs. fat or
over, with 80 competitors, she won first,
and was later named Champion Grade
Holstein of the show. Professor II. II.
Kildee of Iowa State College, the judge,
attributed her winnings not so much to
perfection of type as to development
and. condition brought about by good
care and feeding.
So another Cinderella" was crowned
Queen. But unlike the girl in some
versions Of the fairy tale, who had to
return to her sackcloth and ashes at the
stroke of twelve, this real-life "Cinder-
ella of the dairy kingdom continues
to reign in her barn at Larro Research
Farm, providing notable proof of the
fact that COW with the capacity to
produce milk will make money for her
owner if she is given the good care
and good feed"

cation of a widespread interest in

"The students are seeing music not

1T is time the tide was turning. A

$3.50 was being spent on pianos, and
81 on talking machines. Those figures
are due for material changes, and it
will be the boys of the land who will

EASTERN SHORE MUSKRAT
TRAPPERS REAPING
HARVEST

Muskrat trappers throughout the
Eastern Shore are reapening a har-
vest from the sale of pelts, which
have touched the highest prices since
the war, the best selling for from
S1.90 to 81 each.
Trappers declare that the supply
of rats is fairly plentiful on all the
marshes, but the weather has not
been as favorable for trapping as
hoped for, many of the marshes
having been coated with thick ice,
which prevented the trappers from
reaching their traps.
Offers are said to be extremely
scarce and as consequence their
hides are bringing fancy prices.
One trapper is said to have sold a
hide for $25, but it was an ex-
ceptionally fine fur. The usual run
of otter hides have been bringing
around $40 apiece, which gives
every indication that milady's fur
coats which will go on sale next fall
will not be any cheaper than they
have been during the past several
years.
Farmers who own their own
marshes along the bay and rivers
are making more money from the
muskrat industry than they could
possibly make in tilling the same
amount of good land in wheat or
corn, and it is believed that the
trapping season this year will
eclipse all others in financial profits.

Symphony music is now within
reach of the hundreds of thousands
and even at the modest fees of twenty
five and fifty cents, the very finest of
symphony music in America can pay

This is revealed by the annual re-
port just made by Raymond Brite,
manager of the Hollywood Bowl,
Americas greatest outdoor music au-
dience chamber. The Bowl seats
twenty thousand persons. During the
summer just past concerts were given
three times weekly. They were lis
tened to by 293,0S2 persons who paid
$11O,1SS79. This gives a surplus of
nearly $1,000 over expense.
The series of concerts will be given
again next summer with world famous
conductors drawn from all over the
world.

THE CITY OVER THERE

BY Evangelist John Moses Baker
My hope of Heavens growing
brighter;
will meet you in that City over
there.
And the cares of life are growing
lighter;
will meet you in that City,
bright and fair.
l will meet you in that City over
there,
Where we will never know 9
sorrow or a care,
And the loved ones fondly wait,
Just inside the Eastern gate;
I will meet you in that City over
there.
Lord Jesus, my only hope OF
Heaven,
will meet you in that City over
there.
In the Bible His promises are
given;
will meet you in that City over
there.
On the banks of the river they are
waiting,
We will meet them in the City
there,
In that land where hearts are never
aching,
And we will never know a sorrow
or a care.

At that time Lieutenant Jones pointed out, aside from the large cost of the robes, they were entirely too heavy to sleep under in comfort A large saving has thus been effected by the government in adopting the recommendation.

''ACEs" DEFEAT ARMY
 AT INDOOR BASEBALL

The City Aces" a gang of selected indoor baseballers famous for their prowess in swatting the horsehide far and wide andi gathering up slash. ing drives and Texas leaguers, launch ed surprise attack on the defense of the Army lads during last evening s game at the s. A. c. gymnasium. At the end of the drive the City result showed they had captured r as against the Army's s.
 Unfortunately the first serious ac- cident ever to have taken place du- ring an indoor game since the club was organized, occurred when Chas. Sheldon, racing home from third base, was struck over the eye from a bat which cracked when being wielded by Hopkins A remarkable display of grit was exhibited by Mr. Shendon, who remained on his feet regardless of the fact that the blow was a terrif- fic one and cut a large gash. In all probability the wound will require several stitches.
 The accident put damper on the game for a while.
 Babe Ruth" Baker, outstanding slugger of the league, used dynamite instead of black powder when at the plate, but with the exception of one homer, could not bring his team homel to victory. Hopkins, classy shortstop| of the Aces, equalled Bakers prowess at bat, being credited with a homer.
 Batteries were: Vale and She'll horn for the Aces; Baker, Robinson and Uride for the Army.
 Empires were Dyer and McEwen.
 The next game is scheduled for Thursday night when the Army will take on either the Aces or the Fire men.

With only one member present, the Territorial Canvassing Board met at Juneau in the office of Gov. George A. Parks. J. C. Mcbride, U. s. Col lector of Customs, was the only member of the Board who was pres en..
 MT. Mcbride formally opened the meeting then adjourned it owing to the absence of Gov. Parks who is the remaining member. The session will be adjourned from day to day, it was announced.
 Not all of the returns have been received it was stated at the Cover nor's office. There are a number of precincts missing several of which are located in the Third Division where the race for Senator was un- usually close. It is expected it will be necessary to await all the missing returns before the Board can an- nounce the results in that race.
 Recently received reports from the Third Division showed Arthur Frame. Republican, of Anchorage, leading Senator A. J. Dimond, Democrat, of Valdez, by about 50 votes with four or five precincts unreported. The missing vote, it was said might re- verse the present standing.
