"a Gentleman from Mississippi"

This play. Is welcome, and we advise
YOU to see it at the Grand. Nov. 9Th. be-
cause it is a play that reflects American
thought and big American problems. 1t
is a play exeellently acted. although one
that will probably not last five hundred
years-let US hope the conditions which
call for the play will be forgotten before
five hundred years shall pass. 1t is a
play that will last for many years. and it
will always reflect credit upon those in
telligent enough to write it. to appreciate
its meaning and produce it.
The encouraging thing in the produc-
ton Of a good play like "A Gentleman
from Mississippi" is the quick response
from the audience to every honorable
suggestion and to every biting comment
on official corruption.
Comedy pure and simple we shall al
ways have. love stories on the stage. for
young people must have their sentimental
provender. But these love stories can te
woven into plays Of serious purpose. as in
the case Of "A Gentleman from Mssiss-
ippi."
You will have to engage your seats
well in advance for "A Gentleman from
Mississippi" and we I; re glad tf that II
the public wants good plays with pur-
pose. it must deserve them by fappreciat-

SOME PHASES OF
PIANO STUDY
BY FIoSonce ~. Baldwin
Director Standard School Of Music

Paderewski says, "The piano is at
once the easiest and the hardest in
strument to play.-Anyone can play
the piano, but few can do so we'll and
then only after years of toll and care
full study" To do well that which we
do is the chief essential.
The overcoming of technical diff
culties is a pleasure, for only by over
coming our errors can we advance
and in striving for our ideal we lose
sight of the so-called "drudgery." A
clear, clean-cut and firm (not harsh)
finger technic is absolutely neces-
sary. l find the A. X. Virgil system
of exercises OF inestimable value for
finger and wrist development. There
are so many studies by Loeschorn,
Heller, Lemoine and others, which
are not only good for technical pur-
poses but are melodious and appeal
to the pupils sense of rythm and
beauty. Sight-reading, ear-training
and the rudiments of harmony are of
special value and guard against mar
rowness and onesidedness in music
study. Last, but not least-memoriz-
ing-for to know a piece correctly
without the aid of the printed page,
not only gives one a freedom to rem
der the composition with expression
and ease-so it will be a pleasure to
the listencr-but it also develops
mental qualities.
Quarterly examinations at which
pupils of each grade are examined in
class and at which both written and
oral work is required, are a benefit
to the pupil by way Of general re-
view of work previously gone over,
and are also helpful in overcoming
self-consciousness.
The advantages of school over -pri-
vatc instruction arc obvious to one
giving the matter thought. While
there are many thorough and compe-
tent teachers among the ranks OF
private teachers" yet, since no one
is barred from the profession, there
arc many incompetent and ill-quali-
fed teachers. No school, worthy the
name. will employ any but competent
and experienced teachers. 1t Is a
mistake to suppose that "any teacher"
will do for a beginner, for then the
most thoughtful and experienced
the pupil may fall into errors, and in
correct habits which i may take
years to overcome. In school work.
other, with the teachers in different
departments, and this fact. together
with the examinations and recitals
cannot fail to arouse a spirit of emit
lation and interest.
Recitals are given on the last Sat-
urdav afternoon of the month by the
pupils, to which parents and friends
are cordially invited.

Der of Commerce is called to the fact
that there is now splendid opportunity
to Gland" couple of institutions that will
add greatly to the prosperity and welfare
Of our popular little city.
One Of these is a manufacturing asso-
citation. incorporated for 100000. that
is seeking place to establish factory
for the manufacture Of steam plow and
other farm machinery. This company it
is said will employ in the neighborhood Of
100 men and strong effort should be
made to induce them to locate their fac
tory in Rocky Ford.
At the recent meeting of the Colorado
I. o. o. F. grand lodge resolutions were
adopted providing for the establishment
Of an Oddfellows Home in this state.
Several cities are already making bids
for the home. which it is stated will cost
over SOS. 1000. and why shouldn't Rocky
Ford make try? With our equable
climate and unsurpassed natural advan-
tages this Is surely the ideal place for
just such home. and the local Oddfel-
lows will heartily cooperate in any plans
to bring it here.

Political Notes

There is probability of some surprises
being sprung when the Board of Free
holders organizes
| The appointment of John W. Harris as
search clerk at the Office Of the County
Clerk will probably be commended in all
quarters. He is perfectly qualified for
the position and his long devotion to the
interests of the Republican party entitle
him to recognition.
Gratitude in politics." There isn't
any such thing, and very little in personal
affairs in many cases. Do all you can for
man, befriend and defend him when he
needs them and it is all right; but
let him get an idea into his head that
you are not acting exactly to suit his case
and there is nothing too hard for him to
say, and the truth or falsity of his ideas
do not enter into the case.
If Captain Charles Evan Merritt should
decide not to again be candidate for the
Office of County Solicitor, there will be at
least four persons who will accept the
position. V. Claude Palmer, James NJ.
Davis, Robert s. Gaskill, and Budd M.
Rigg are mentioned. The first three are
residents of Mount Holly, andihave offices
here. Mr.. Riggs home is in Burlington,
where he has an oflce.i
There has been a studied effort to have
it appear that County Collector Powell is
to resign his office at the first of the year,
and that new official will be selected at
the organization Of the Board of Free
holders Mr.. Powell has no intention of
resigning as long as he is able to perform
the duties of the Office and he seems to be
capable up to date. There appears to be
an unseemly activity with reference to a
successor to Mr.. Powell.

some of whom have business qualifica-
tions, and others have political recon-
mendations Under the circumstances 1t
would seem proper for the people who
haYe business at the Medford office and
know the men who want to handle the
mails should hold an election and express
their preference.
On being asked If he were a candidate
for solicitor of the county of Burlington,
Robert s. Gaskill said: THAT depends
upon what you mean by being candidate.
If this means that am soliciting the po-
sition, then am not candidate, but if 1t
means that will accept the position If
