Trinity Musical Clubs Delighted Large Audience Concert Tuesday Evening Was of a High Order and Was Thoroughly Enjoyed by Audience That Braved Nasty Weather to Attend Recep tion Given in Hoaor of Members of the Club at Home of Mayor and Mrs. A. E. White. It was aa altogether delightful con cert that the Trinity college musical clubs gave in the high school audi torium here Tuesday eevning. Each : number was well received and highly enjoyed, and time after time the audi ece encored with an insistence that i would not be denied, lengthening the. program to about two hours. There was music to suit everv mood, music !that appealed to the most fastidious music lover and withal music to set swinging in tune the heart of the per son who professes that "high-brow" stuff is to him as sealed book. One was persuaded that the glee club lone, or the mandolin club alone or the orchestra alone could give a con cert that would satisfy the most ex acting audience; and the - combined Slubs served a feast that left the au ieiice hungry for more from each elub., It was a corking good concert, with enough fun to satisfy every body. Mr. L. M. Draper, who ljved in Fair mont some tears ago, on of a form er, pastor of the Fairmont circuit, al so delighted the audience with . his l; ' . Members of. the cluj, twenty-seven . in all, were entertained while here in , the homes of local Methodists'. The ' young . men left yesterday morning 'for Durham, this being the last en 'gagement of a . successful tour on which thy were greeted by large au diences. ' . The asdience here was remarkably large considering the disagreeable I weather, n cold rain that was enough to make anybody prefer her or' his .own fireside having persisted since Itthe afternoon. The auditorium ..was full, and no doubt the audience would i have 'taxed the capacity of the hall 'had the weather been .fina,-- A delightful reception was given In honor of members of the clubs follow ing the concert by Mayor and Mrs. White at their palatial home. There a feast of music, readings and general jollity, supplemented by delicious re freshments, so beguiled the hours that ; everybody forgot the lateness of the hour at which the reception began and .came near forgetting to go home at all. tryward instead of cityward." Governor Harding, of the Federal Reserve board, who also addressed the convention, said the "present predica ment of the farmers caused by de preciation in prices was receiving ev ery consideration by the government officials. , In addition to advocating the ware house plan, Mr. Lever suggested the formation of foreign trde corpora tions, under the Edge act, as a relief for the farmers in their present situ ation. Th warehouse plan, he said, promised the better permanent bene fits for the farmers. "The present lack of a system for financing marketing," said Mr. Lever, "forces 75 per cent of staple products upon the market in four months, with hte resultant automatic dip in farm prices. "What we must have is a piece of credit mchinery peculiarly adapted to the handling of paper with a maturi ty which synchronizes with the period of growth and distribution. The plan involves, first, the standardization of staple agricultural products of a warehouseable character into grades and classes; second, the building up under federal, state, or both, regula tion and inspection of a system of bonded warehouses for such products: third, the issuance of uniform elevator or warehouse receipts; fourth, the pooling, regionally, of the warehouse receipts in the hands of a government appointee and, fifth, the issuance against these apoled warehouse re ceipts of a certificate, debenture, or bond and the selling of the same.
