1.-THE Well is Dry"

That wouldn't be good news to any farmer. But
at the worst it probably would mean no more than
digging new one.
Far worse if the farm itself should wear out!
A half century has passed since the Great North
ern was built through the unsettled Northwest and
immigrants were unloading their tools of husbandry
from box cars to begin the tanning of plains and
forests.
Through all these years thousands upon
thousands of tons of crops have been removed
from the farm lands along the raiLroad-crops
that have built your cities and towns-crops
that have provided the principal traffic of tho
railroad.
Hand in hand with the building of the Great
Northern efforts begun to enrich and conserve
the fertility of the land.
The experimental farms which James ]. Hill
established st. Paul and in the Red River
valley the experiments he encouraged and supported
wherever he laid his rails, and his employment of
soil and livestock experts-these were the fore
runners of the county agents and the state and
federal experimental stations of today.
half century ago, in talks at State Fairs and at
meetings of farmers and livestock growers, Mr.. Hill
was pointing out the danger of taking fertility too
much for granted
Today the Great Northern and its corps of agri-
cultural experts cooperating with progressive
farmers and state and federal agencies in programs
to restore fertility where there are signs of
approaching depletion and to enrich and con-
serve it elsewhere.
Different lands and different areas of course call
for different methods-in many places, the appli
cation of phosphate; in others, crop rotation and
increased of natural fertilizers; in dryland areas,
strip farming which by alternating fallow and crop
strips holds fertile top soil on the farm; improved
types of soil tillage to minimize drifting and retain
moisture; the seeding of crested wheatgrass and
other crops to tie down fertile top soils; and
contour furrowing to decrease erosion.
And SO "railroading'' and farming in the
territory opened up by the Great Northern
haze come doDn a half century- old road
together. They still travelling together be-
cause both are "Ianded" interests. Their
future is bound to the soil. And they are
resolUed to keep that future ahead of then,
and not behind them!

Compensation Upheld
For Man Killed in Fiqht

Compensation claims of the
widow of a man killed by a blow
from the fist of a fellow employe
on a construction job were upheld
yesterday by the United States Court
of Appeals.
The decision awards 1927 to the
widow of Hildren B. Wilder, AZ, and
s1365 a week until her three minor
children come of age, or until she
marries.
Mr.. Wilder, it was said, died as
the result of a blow struck by a
22-year-old clerk on May 4, 1899,
while employed as night watch
man during construction of the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge
The United States Employees Com
pensation Commission made the
award upheld by today's ruling.
The construction and insurance
companies contended Mr. Wilder's
death did not arise out of his en-
ployment.
The court held, however, that "an
injury arises out of the employment
If it Is caused by the environment,
whether inanimate, animal or hu-
man, to which the employment ex-
poses the employe. 1t does not
matter whether he is struck by a
machine, mule or a man.

BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

At an age when most lads are
only we'll started in college or learn
ing the ropes in an Office or ap-
prenticed to a trade, Robert Virovai
finds himself with an established
career-a success. Even fame has
touched him.
Tonight, as he purSues that career
across several continents. this 19-
year-old violinist will play for the
first time with the National SYM
phony Orchestra in Constitution
Hall. His offering will be the be-
loved Mendelssohn concerto.
AS it happened, he recalled yes
terday as he chatted backstage after
a rehearsal at the hall, this was
the work he played at his first
public concert in Belgrade, Yugo-
slavia. seven years ago-When he
was II. True, he had played a
Haydn concerto earlier, on the an
niversary Of the composers birth,
but the audience was somewhat re-
strlcted then and he doesn't quite
count that occasion.
He compoSes music 'all the time"
Robert admitted, but he hastened to
ada that he has published nothing
and has no plans, yet, to turn loose
a single opus.
Perhaps" he laughed, lit will
be like Paganini You remember,
he used to play music out of his
head he would not publish, and his
accompanist would have to follow
along as best he could. 1t was only
after his death that these COM
positions were published"
If young Virovai's classroom edu-
cation was interrupted by a concert
career, he carries along his own
classroom. He reads constantly,
especially history. His mother,
Ilonia Vlrovai, who was his first
teacher, is still his tutor.
1T is history" he explained, that
helps me to understand the music
I am playing"
For exercise, there is swimming,
of which he is fond, and Swedish
gymnastics to keep his figure supple
for the exactions of the concert
hall
Like Mozart, Robert Viroyai was
playing the piano at 3. But a
strolling fiddler so interested him
that he switched to the violin Mrs.
Virovai is pianist, but he insisted
that she also taught him to play
the violin. Later he studied with
the famous teacher. Jane Hubey,
then nearing 80. He was Hubey's
last pupil.
In 1887 young Virovai won an
international contest for violinists
in Vienna, and as a result he was
brought to this country. In 1888,
at his debut with the New York
Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra
he won a memorable ovation, and

Jesse Jones Expected
To Revamp Commerce
Unit 10 Aid Defense
Change Under Study as
Result Of Dropin
Exports to World

A reorganization o. the Bureau
OF Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, designed to tie in it's work
more closely with the total de-
fense program, is now being con-
sidered by Secretary of Commerce
Jones, it was learned today. A
detailed announcement of the plans,
which are said to be nearing COM
pletion, is expected shortly.
The promotion of foreign trade
and the assistance of domestic
business through research and
statistical surveys were the main
functions of the bureau prior to
the present emergency. AS a re-
suit of the war most of the markets
on the continent of Europe have
virtually been closed to American
exports, and war materials make
up the bulk of our shipments to
Great Britain, the principal Eu-
ropean market that still remains
open.
May Aid Defense Industries.
Because of the changing pattern
of foreign trade and the fact that
under present conditions the pro-
motion of foreign trade in a large
part of the world would largely be
a waste of effort, Secretary Jones
and his chief aides are said to be-
lieve the facilities of the bureau
can best be used now in providing
basic economic data for the ma
tional defense agencies. Under the
plans now being studied 1t is pro-
posed, in general, to give defense
work priority over other activities
In the bureau.
Where practicable, notably in
Latin America. the bureau will con-
tinue its foreign trade promotion
work. AS Federal loan admins
traitor, Secretary Jones has under
his supervision the Export-Import
Bank, which is making many loans
to assist Latin American countries
purchase American products. En-
Couragement of a tWo-Way trade
between the United States and
Latin America is part of the ad-
mlnlStratlon program for the
economic defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
Many Experts Shifted.
IN recent months many of the
bureaus experts have been trans
ferred or temporarily shifted to
the National Defense Commission.
James w. Young, director of the
bureau, is now with Nelson Rookie
feller, co-ordinator of economic
and cultural relations between the
Americas. and Carroll L. Wilson
has taken his place as acting di-
rector.
The reorganization, 1t is said,
eontemplates no reduction in bu-
teau personnel.

select a shop where a married,
couple could-with discretion
live in the rear. In the rush
of preparations, she scarcely
noticed that Mr.. Louie never

The cards informing patrons
of the opening of Mr.. Louie's

received more beautiful bou-
quets on her great day
