AS AN ARTIST
"As an artist, Leopold Oodowsky Is
the master of them all, says James
Ilunoker. "He is a musical alche
mist, who turns everything he touches
into living gold, so that it becomes
illumined like a beautiful concealed
Grecian lamp, when the button is
pressed. The compositions he ana
lyzes, seem like new, yet he doesioth
ing to them but reveal hidden beau
lies already in the music. He treats
ench piece as a deep student of Scrip
ture might a beautiful liible passage,
drawing out its subtle beauties and
truth. His interpretations stand out
in the mind's eye like a bas-relief, the
phrase lines being as finely drawn as
in a beautiful etching. In fact his nrt
is closely akin to etching, in that it
takes a fine sense of the art to ap
preciate a great etching. His ten
fingers, are like ten lovely voices, each
revealing the hidden beauties of its
part, independent of the others, the
whole forming a wonderful web of
marvelous polyphony so transcen
dental at times, that only the initiated
can fully appreciate it all. I once
called him 'super-man' of piano
playing. Nothing like him as fat as
I know is to be found in the history
of piano playing since Chopin. He is
a pianist for pianists, and I nm glad
to say that the majority will recog
nize this fact."
Mr. Oodowsky will appear in Med
ford at the 1'age Theater on next
Tuesday evening, January 25.

Tho weather still continues to give
us some rain each day, contrary to
the hopes of our farmers, who would
like to see enough dry weather to put
the soil in condition for plowing. Vet,
though the rain has been rather dis
agreeable, the stock men have had lit
tlo to complain of. The feed has been
good and most of our barns still hold
a plentiful supply of hay.
In order to shorten tho time and
brighten the hours of winter, many
of the families have grouped together
and enjoyed several pleasant parties,
where they mingled together till .he
early hours of morning.
Many of tho early spring flowers
are making their appearance above
the soil. These little harbingers and
an early caster are strong indications
of an early spring.

FROST SERVICE
IS REQUESTED
SALEM, Jan. 7V first matter
of distinctly lot:. I li:vn. lancu to Ja k
son county to i on: into the pros -nt
ssion of the leglslfl ture, is embodied
in a joint memorial to t he dnpnrt-
ment of n;n icult uro. introduced in the
bouse by lieprt sentativi s Sheldon and
Carter, asking that (iepartmcnt to j
maintain .uninterrupted the fixst-;
warning service with which ihe
weather bureau has been serving the
fruit growers of the Itoguo river val
ley during the critical spring months,
for several years past. j
The memorial reads as follows: ,
To the Honorable the Secretary of
Agriculture of the United States of
America :
Your Memorialists, tho Legislative
Assembly of tho State of Oregon In
regular session assembled, respect
fully represent that:
Whereas, your department through
Its weather bureau, has, for a num
ber of years, maintained a most ef
ficient and valuable service In the
Kogue Hiver Valley, Oregon, in sup
plying the fruit growers and others of
that section with frost warnings dur
ing the blossoming and critical pe
riod of the months of March, April
and May of each year, and
Whereas, this service has proven
of inestimable value to the fruit grow
ers of that section as a guide in the
taking of measures for the preven
tion of frost damage to their crops,
whereby many hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of fruit crops have
been saved., and
Whereas, the fruit growers of that
district, many of whom were at first
skeptical as to tho value of frost pre
vention measures, have rapidly grown
to appreciate the value of the same
by reason of the results obtained dur
ing tho years this servico has been
maintained by tho weather bureau,
and uro building up a stable horticul
turar practice of frost prevention
measures under the direction of the
weather bureau's representative sent
to tho valley each spring.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
legislative assembly of tho stato of
Oregon earnestly petitions the depart
ment of agriculture to maintain the
ROME Business depression in Italy
is characterized by Siuor Olivetti, a
deputy in 'parliament and industrial
and economic expert, as part of "a
world crisis." He attributes this situa
tion not only in Italy hut in France,
Kngland and America to the restric
tion of consumption and to limitation
of mony. lie expresses the opinion
that all countries must pass through
this condition in order to attain eco
nomic reconstruction.
Signor Olivetti sees an encouraging
sign In the fact that strikes and labor
agitations are becoming less frequent
and less serious in Italy. Ho says this
indicates that the working men reali.o
the difficulties through which all in
dustries are passing. Nevertheless un
employment is characterized as grave
and increasing.
tJermau competition already is hav
ing a bad effect on Italian mechanical
industries. Woollen manufacturers are
operating only three or four days a
week am! hosiery and India rubber fac
tories are working on reduced hours.
No new ships are being laid down he
cause of the uncertainty of futuro
naval construction. The once flour
ishing automobile industry of Italy
only just holds its own In tho face of
ever increasing obstacles to exporta
tion and the diminution of the homo
market,.
. ltoth exports and Imports have de
creased In Italy, according to figures
just made public covering a period up
to last September. Tho decline In ex
ports Is attributed by Signor Olivetti
to labor troubles, unfavorable ex
change rates and tho uncertain condi
tion of foreign markets. The reduction
lu Imports Is ascribed to the exchange
and unsteadiness in the price of raw
materials.

ASHLAND, Jan. 21. The armory is
rapidly cumiiiK into its own botli as u
military and civic center, extending
social and fraternal privileges. This is
us it should be, as for years the. bit;
I building bore a sort of lonesome
aspect. It now houses, permanently,
First Company and the local Post of
the American Lesion, with a prospect
that tho Ashland unit of the county Y.
M. C. A. association will also find a
comfortable and hospitable refuse
within its walls. The club rooms are
numerous and spacious, the building
being well equipped ill this respect
through persistent efforts of the mili
tary contingents.
Tho Y. hr. C. A. plan Involves the in
stallation of a business ami profession
al men's gymnasium class at tho ar
mory headquarters, where abundant
spaco Is available. Indirectly, tlm
chamber of commerce is morally en-
;couraging, even if it is not actually
financially hacking, this movement.
O. V. Carson, as chairman is outlining
a plan for meetings at tiie armory, and
in behalf of the committee which he
represents, submits the following plans
and specifications as applied to the

land or vicinity who believes that a
systematic course of exorcise adapted
to bis particular needs would moke
him eat or sleep better, think clearer,
and get through his particular dally
task witli less effort and most enjoy
ment,1 will do well to seo this commit
tee, other members of which are Ho
mer Hillings and Carl Darling, and
those promoters should be interviewed
by all interested, by Tuesday evening,
at least, Jan. 25, at 5 o'clock sharp. It
is planned to have these gatherings on
'inesday and Friday evenings of each
week, from G to G o'clock, the specific
athletic exercise alloted to each Indi
vidual case being such ns the particu
lar preference may Indicate. A mod

a phictlt loner will he In attendance','
