WEDNESDAY, JAN. tl!, IDlil PADEREWSKI HAS PEETRED Ol T As Pianist-Lalmr a.s Statesman Hos Operated Against Him. Now Vork, Jan. s. Two years ago Ignace Jan Paderowski, world famous pianist, stood in "Old Hall," Warsaw, where he Ural played, and where Chopin t? i's I played, and told an au dience of fellow-Poles, ?bat he had conic back to give his life, if neces sary, to tho cause of Polish freedom. Poland is now established as one of the free nations of the world. Hut tho sequel, which lias just reached this country-the story of Paderow ski as he ls to-day-furnishes an other tragedy of the World War. Fortune Said to Ile Clone. Paderowski probably will never be heard on tho concert stage again. Furthermore, his fortune is said to bo gone. In the days when Allied vic tory was more a matter of faith than of assurance, when the German arm ies still hold largo sections of Russia, Padereswkl had raith. Ile had faith in Allied victory, and faith that such a victory might moan freedom for Poland. Ha closed his piano and de clared that he would never touch it again until Polish independence was realized. He stepped out of his life as an artist into the life of a diplo mat and international politician. Day and night ho workod for recognition of tho Polish cause. Ile approached American loaders with the enthusi asm of a child, spreading out maps on the floor, and tracing out the boundaries of tho Poland that was to bo, even though tho German arm ies still held complete sway on tho front that must bo broken to liberate his home country. His I'la no lx>ng Closed. Then carno President Wilson's enunciation of tho fourteen points. A free Poland was one of the "points." With the armistice Paderowski re turned to Poland. Ile became pre mier and represented the Poles at the peace conforonco. Hut during all of this time his plano remained closed. Tho slender, artistic hands dealt only with papers, or were given to grasp ing tho hands of others who might aid Poland, instead of flying over tho keys, bringing forth music that had moved tho world. Can't ito turn to Stage Now. And tho roports now arc that the famous pianist's hands have stiffen ed. As thc result of the lack of prac tice at his plano, Paderewskl's An gora now have lost their remarkable flexibility. He is still Paderowski, the artist, as well as the statesman, but word to one of his friends here is that ho will probably not be able to return to the concert stage, despite the fact that tho fortune he built up bas now practically disappeared. Ho will torr, to lecturing and possibly to piano instruction, should he relire from his prosenl political activities, is the be lief of friend., hore. The call for financial assistance Vins been constant in Poland. Upon abandoning bis artistic career for the cause of Polish freedom, Paderowski not only gave all of bis physical and mental effort, but threw bis finan cial resources Into (he fight.

STEERS FATTEN ON SILAGE Remarkable daine, Considering Natur* Of Feed, Made aa North Da kota Station. Steers cnn be fattened profitably on com silage alone according to a series of tests conducted at the South Da kota experiment station. Thc steers didn't get off their feed nor were there any bad results In feeding silage as the sole ration. At thc close of the tests each year the cattle were shipped to the Chicago market, sold as killers, and brought within a fow cents of the market top. "The gains have b??en remarkable considering the nature of tho feed," said Director Wilson. *Tn many cases the gains havo been larger than cattle of the same age have made on pos ture. Hundreds of cattle aro wintered on a half starvation ration when If they were fed corn silage from the time they were taken off of grass In the fall they could have hocn sold Into next spring when cattle are usu ally high In prlco."

Success Depends in Large Measure on Personality of Person Soliciting Good Understanding ls Usu ally Effected. Producers sometimes obtain custo mers by mah lng a personal canvass among city dwellers, say marketing specialists of tho United States De partment of Agriculture. Tho neigh borhood ??elected should be one which is not well supplied with markets or grocery stores handling fann produce. A suburban district of homes with good Incomes offers a good Held In which to solicit trade. Success In making a personal canvass depends In a large measure on the personality of the person making the canvass. He should be neatly dressed, should state his business clearly and concisely, showing the prospective customer why direct marketing would be advantage ous and, if possible, he should have samples of the produce that can be furnished. As this method of obtain ing customers permits the consumer to see and talk with the producer, a bet ter understanding is usually effected than If they had never seen each oth er. A man living a few miles from Balti more, who raised poultry, found lt im practicable to market his poultry products personally and was not satis fied with the p*rlec he could obtain locally. He made a personnl canvass of a few homes In a desirable loca tion In Baltimore and obtained four customers to whom he began sending eggs by parcel post. Within a few weeks they had recommended the pro ducer to a sufficient number of custo mers to purchase all the eggs and poultry the producer could supply. Customers were retained by supplying good quality products and by strict at tention to business relations. WHOLE FAMILY IS BLOWN UP.
