New National Anthem Contest
Greeted With No Enthusiasm

''The Star Spangled Banner" Is not
without its champions, numerous and
earnest, whenever some one comes along
with a proposal to find new national
anthem. Even critics most frank in
conceding the defects OF the old song
that has stirred American hearts for 81
century or more are not inclined To
hope that anything better will come
out of prize competitions such as Mrs,
BrookS-ASten of New York plans IN the
name of the BrookS-Bright Founda~
tion
Writing somewhat facetiouSly on the
subject, the New York World says,
Mrs. Florence BrookS-ASten Of our
own fair city. who is offering $4,000 FOR
new national anthem, of course has
our respect. Almost anybody who was
willing TO back an idea with $4,000
would have our respect. Yet she also
has our disapproval What. we feel in
duty bound to ask, is the matter with
the national anthem We have already
This challenging question Is asked or

such by universal use and consent. but IL
will not be by the means now suggested,
National anthems do not come out OF
prize competitions, but out Of the Cruz
chile Of national strug gleS, sufferiugS
aspirations and trlumphs,"
In similar vein. the Roanoke World
News declares that "the patriot~poct~
musician must have an inspiration other

worthy of such Nation. Nor" adds
the virginian editor. ''iS there any as

WAYS TO INCREASE

students at University Farm were
told by ]. F.. Walker in a recent adj
dress that there is plenty of room in

sheep growing. Mr.. Walker, who Is

culture to study sheep raising and
wool and mutton marketing in South
Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

he said. 1--WE are producing but
slightly more than so per cent of our
domestic mill requirements and have

One way to increase production and
income would be to put up the NUT
ton carcass in the sort of package
the market demands. Too many

wool is allocated in the markets and
for different months. This orderly
marketing makes for higher prices.

Raise utility sheep. good in carcass

Give the flock the attention it de-

Give the consumer what he wants.
not what producers think he should
