CREATING A VIOLIN.
No Hard and Fast Rules 10 Guide the

Viollns are the most delicate and

human voice. The quality differs ac-
cOrding 10 the wood, the seasoning and
the construction of the few parts I'm il.
The violin contains the fewest parts
of any musical instrument invented,
and II seems like the simplest of them
all 20 make. But, alas. It defies the
expert, the practical mechanic and the
muslcianl Anybody can make VIC

them are produced by individual in

loving care over them than a mother
does over her first child.
A violin maker Is an artist me

few sharp tools. cabinetmaker's
bench and few sticks OF wood he

EXPECT HEAVY
VOTE MONDAY
FIVE CANDIDATES WILL BE voT-
ED UPON TO FILL vAcAN-
r cIEs ON BOARD OF
EDUCATION.

The annual school election to take
place on Monday next will be one OF
the most holly contested ever held IN
the recent history of the city and the
interest taken in the event assures the
polling of the largest vote ever cast
here at such an election. There are
FIVE candidates in the field to succeed
the late G. A. Wright and Judge G. c.
Bentley, the latter refusing to become
a candidate for reelection. Those who
nave filed petitions for nomination and
who are seeking the support of the ell
igible electors at Mondays election are
w. Frank James, John Hicok, John NJ.
Wagner, Frank G. Mayworm and Chas.
S. Mason. each of whom has pro-
nounced views upon educational ques-
tions, and in several cases the candi-
dates have announced a specific plat
form, upon which they are seeking en-
dorsement. Mr.. Mason is for free text
books and more pay for teachers. Mr..
MaywOrm is for centrally located
high school with manual training and
to-date methods. Mr.. James is a gra-
duate of the Hancock high school and
If elected would be the first of its al
umni to become "A school trustee.
Henry L. Baer. August Mette and
Andrew Bran are the board of election
commissioners and the inspectors OF
election appointed by the board at its
June meeting are Jacob Baer, Thomas
Coughlin and George Ruppe. The ell
ection takes place at the high school
from o'clock in the morning until
8 in the evening
Normally not more than fifty or six
ty votes are east at school elections,
except in years when there is a con-
test for the Offices. which has not oc-
Cured for some time. A couple Of
years ago when Charles Mason was a
candidate for member of the board
the vote was considerably larger than
usual. but il is expected that the cleo
ton inspectors will have the heaviest
ballot to take care of and count on
Monday that has ever fallen To the lot
of any school election officials in the
history of Hancock. Each aspirant
for the honor has his supporters and
Ii is not unlikely that many women
will exercise their right of franchise
on this occasion. The law provides
that any male or female of voting age
and either possessing property or hav-
ing children of school age, may vote
for school trustees. and the ladies 1t
is probable will play large part in
deciding the fortunes of those seeking
the honor of serving on the board of

board organizes for the year. the an

Entertaining during Easter can
scarcely be considered bad form when
its object is to give the children limo
cent pleasure. SO. then, the Easter
rabbit and the Easter chick are fas
chatting creatures and can be used to
the making of Easter favors that it
seems Il pity there should not be more
Easter parties. If ones conscience is
particularly sensitive in regard to East
er frivolities the Easter party may
be held week after Easter. Charm
ing favors are in the shape of large
papier mache eggs mounted on wandS.
Il rabbits head peeping out of the egg
and its surface being covered with pie
lures of flowers. either hand painted
or of the transfer kind a knot of rib
bon finishes the handle.
A yellow haired child could be dress
ed to represent Easter. Over her lit
tie short full skirt OF white crinkly
paper have a sort of pannier effect,
made up of numerous yellow ribbons
with tiny yellow chicks on the ends.
These should hang from belt of soft
yellow satin. A garland of these tiny
chickens on the hair and one perching
on the toes of the little white pumps
would not be bad idea.
And why not have a brother and
sister present. the red and blue COLLINS
so familiar TO good and bad children?
Large sailor hats can easily be covered
with red and blue: then on the white
wash suits can be arranged large col
ored sailor collars. Colored belts and
colored silk stockings will complete the
costumes with almost no trouble.
A brown haired little girl may be
dressed as a rainbow by using tlmy
chiffon of the rainbow hueS. Silver
slippers and Il silver coronet in the
hair will complete this bit of lowell
ness.
