more, there is not that general discus

grange meetings that should be for
the highest interest AS all who are
familiar with the workings of the state
and national oranges know, resolutions
are referred ut once to the appropriate
committee without discussion. Com
mittees after due consideration present
their report to the body either favor
ably or adversely as the case may be.
and their report is acted upon by the
delegates, but scarcely ever with argu-
ment or discussion.
AS to the future, the outlook is most
encouraging. Something like 100000
have been added to the membership
throughout the United States the past
year. 1t will grow in numbers as it
grows in results shown for the farm
ers' beneft.-American Agriculturist.

President Roosevelt had COM
mandatory word for the grange in his
annual message. He said: "Organiza-
ton has become necessary in the bust
ness world, and it has accomplished
much good in the world of labor 1t
is no less necessary for farmers. Such
a movement as the grange movement
is good in itself and is capable of a
well nigh infinite further extension
for good so long as 1t is kept to its own
legitimate business. The benefits to
be derived by the association of farm
ers for mutual advanto are partly
economic and partly sociological"

fertory for anthem or solo work
There will be several solos.
Jean Gererdy, the cello virtuoso,
plays but thirty minutes in his recitals
before the public and for those thirty
he receives $600-$20 a min

artists are over paid, but some critic
of an ingenious turn has deducted the
following interesting facts about the
playing of this artist:

lete vince, the day laborer bend his
back and perspire, and the union me-
chanic cry enough when the wonder
full skill of this 'celloist is considered.
In playing cello solo entitled "Papil-
lon" by David Pepper, which has five
pages, there are 500 notes to be played
and each must be clear and distinct
as a bell. Those 500 notes must be
played in precisely one minute Each
note requires movement of the arm
traversing one yard, or 500 yards in
all, in one minute. This means 2,400
feet or nearly a half mile traversed
by his arm in one minute. The aver
age wood-sawer makes 40 strokes TO
the minute, while Gerardy makes 500
strokes. The young woman who won
the record at the Business Mems ex-
hibit in New York as an expert type
writer says that the average speed of
an expert $ 20 words a minute, while
the average length of a word is five
letters, or $50 motions of the fingers
in one minute. Mr.. Gerardy has her
beaten by $50 motions. So after all
the skill of an artist in his perform
ances is to be considered in connec-
ton with the price he receives.

Already music publishing houses are
sending out their advance matter for

case the choir directors will have to

very limited number of selections that
are meritorious; in fact the vast major
ity are published to sell and without
great regard for quality.
Local organists will appreciate the
coming of Prof. Donley, Indianapolis
organist. Seldom are music lovers af-
forded an opportunity to hear an Or
gan such as the one at Reid Memorial
church. With it's almost limitless
possibilities and combinations in the
hands Of such an artist as Donley, |
many will doubtless avail themselves |
