there would be less waste under this
new system and. in closing his talk,

America
Laura John CLARK gave nice ora
tion, "Unheard Mus.ic". She said that
In meek and lowly places unheard
music of exquisite sweetness may be
heard. 1t may be found in a cot
tage attic.
'fWe may sing song of sublime
sweetness" she said" "a deed OF
charity, by giving cup of cold wat
er to the thirsty. Let us live musi-
cal lives Of goodness and charity and
when the great composer calls upon
us. all will be harmony and we will
know as we are known
Miss Clark's talk was similar to
poem and was given in a man
ner quite in Line with the sentiment
of her grafton.
AN Grafton of unusual interest was
that of Harry Gillette, who spoke of
Present Day View of the. Financial
Crisis He said that it was cer-
tainty that prosperity had 'passed
the arguments to the contrary
Whesher or not it will return is ques-
Uonable. The causes of the panic
are difficult to discern. History
shows that the trouble has been
periodical in the nation. The panic is
either due to this or TO failure of
banks. The most plausible reason
is that disturbance on the great
stock exchanges caused the trouble
and that was all unnecessary. The
tariff had also much to do with II
and the talk of revision was with
out doubt a primary cause of the
panic. Mr.. Gillette was heard with
the closest attention and he was
loudly applauded.
"The Land of the Cherry Bios
soms," by Miss Mabel Booth, was
very pleasing and ELECTED much APP
plause. She told how the Japanese
have adopted many of the American
customs. There are many customs of
the Japs which could, however, be
adopted by America When the
cherry blossoms are in bloom in
Japan, a holiday is declared. The
people there love nature and study
1t. lit is unquestionaD1e that they
live TO enjoy their lives much more
than We do here in America. The
oration of Miss Booth was cleverly
given in an impressive manner.
Dessa Marie Benedict spoke of
Warp and Woof''.
"To each person." said Miss Bene-
dict, "is given shuttle and all that
we can do in this life Is to weave,
the woof of life. What shall we say
Of those who fail to make the right
lyhloice of woof, or of those who cast
the shuttle aside, or even of those
who fail to weave any good deeds
in their lives"
In closing the need of care i'm weav-
ing was emphasized in an interest
ing manner.
Miss Carmen Bolw at this point

Girl. She was applauded loudly.
Following the inteImission the
second part OF the program was
opened by Miss Florence Mildred
Foster upon, Modern Slavery" Her
oration was given in very forceful
manner and in an eloquent plea she
asked that the slaves who are kept
in slavery on the Portuguese colonies
on the southwest coast of Africa, be
freed. Although the workers are
contract laborers they are held In
absolute slavery and their condition
is appalling.
Following the Grafton OF Miss Eos.
ter, Miss Pearl Clapsaddle talked OF,
The American Girl" The girls in
America, according to Miss Clapsaddle
are able to obercome obstacles and
ac. .ompltsh great things as has been
shown. She is needed today in the
home, in college, and in society. She
is able 10 hold her own and in this
she differs from many girls in other

in circles of society because of her
merits although she may have earn
ed her hving at one time.
Hazel May 1ieg followed with a
good GRAFTON, ANT and Morality"
The sacredness of art was well dis
cussed in the grafton. Art brings
man nearer to God and II raises all
upward. Music has won
derful influence in the world and
there is no heart so cold as to resist
Its siweetening influence. Architecture
and painting serve the same mission
and none OF these arts may be val
led. They are holy ana divine.
That Argentina is a greater coun-
try than most people realize was the
statement OF Carl Fries i'm an Grafton

Today the progressive spirit OF the
inhabitants has brought it 10 a high
place among the nations of the earth.
In his Grafton, Mr. Fries brought out
many points OF interest concerning
this country.
