The Cantata by the combined choirs Of
the Reformed churches of Middletown,
Jefferson and Thurmont of As voices
given in Trinity Reformed church on
Monday evening was grand success.
1t is estimated that 600 people crowded
into the church and were held spellbound
for over an hour by the grandest music
ever heard in Thurmont. The silver
offering at the door amounted to $4,000.
The sacred Cantata was under the d.
rection of Mrs. Maud Dittmar and Emory
l.. Coblentz. Esq. There were solo,
duets, and the full chorus. The musicale
closed with the final chorus The Heavens
are Telling" In the closing by the full
chorus the audience was fairly lifted
from their seats, and deep silence follow

The services were opened by brief

Just before the stroke of midnight all

the last stroke of twelve dies away, the

much appreciated.
The chorus was accompanied by

TO SETTLE
THE TITLE
TO LAKES

Governor West is preparing a bill
for the purpose Of vesting in the state
an absolute title to Warner, Albert
and Summer lakes, all located in
Southern Oregon, and as soon as 1t is
completed it will be sent to the Ore
gon delegation in congress, with the
request that 1t be enacted into law.
Because Of the states alleged fail
ure to comply with certain conditions
to acquire title to the lakes in the
state, it Is contended by some lawyers
that the title to the lakes in question
is doubtful. Some contend that, de-
spite the states laches, that the title
is good, but, in view of the fact that
each Of the lakes is destined in the
near future to contribute to the pros
perity Of the state in various ways, It
was decided to have the question set
tied.
The state land board a month or so
ago leased the salt beds in Albert and
Summer lakes to G. M. Sain. He
agrees, under the lease, to commence
constructing the necessary buildings
this summer and commence evapor-
ating the salts in the season of 1918.

than four per cent on the investment.
Another has stated positively that the
beginner, even with considerable
capital, must be prepared to bear
many hardships while he is learning
the business Both Of these men
agree, however, that the farm holds
the solution of life's problems for the
man who simply wants to live with
greater comfort and contentment-
provided the man who takes 1t up
has the soil instinct And that there
is a profit for the man who will work
and plan and scheme, is abundantly
proven by hundreds of actual ex-
periences.
Therefore, the man of forty, with
family, who has saved little money
and chafes under the restrictions of
city life, who is willing to adapt him
self to farm conditions, and to work
with his hands and his brain for the
attainment and maintenance Of
health, happiness and contentment,
will find them on the farm, provided
he has that indeflnable something
that has been called the soil instinct.
This means that the chirp of the
cricket can replace the clang Of the
trolley car; the light of the moon and
the stars can take the place of the
flaring announcements of the theat-
ers, and the quiet of the country lane
and field can answer for the hurry
and turmoil, the rush and clatter, the
hustle and hustle of the city street.
Mr.. Mack discusses many Of the
practical problems involved in the
change from city to rural life; fair
prices for good land; sources Of in
formation regarding soil quality, etc;
the construction Of the necessary
buildings and the selecting the equip
ment Of tools and stock. The article
is profusely illustrated, one of the
pictures showing a plan for a five
acre farm.

CHICAGO
RAISIN DAY
APRIL 80

Chicago, April 1S-"Raisin Day"
will be observed this year in Chicago,
and raisin bread make its appearance
April 30, in most cases for the first
time as results of the letters of en-
thusiastic tourists to California where
bread without raisins is a ration Of
self-denial and where 'raisin day" is
an annual carnival. Some years ago
somebody discovered that raisins were
workingman food, with high nutri-
tive value, and proceeded to eat raj
sins not only in cake and mince pie
and cookies, but raislns in bread, in
meat sauces and in a dozen novel
ways. AS result some organization
or other for the reduction of the high
cost Of living by agreeable methods
proclaimed raisins as food of great
value and little relative cost. Instead
of luxury to be doled out in mig
gardly spirit, they were TO be eaten
as freely as potatoes, and with much
more delight to the palate. They also
produced proof of this theory. Raisins
in bread was an innovation that went
like wlldfire, and tourists got the
habit. Their precept and example has
been having noticeable effect at
church suppers, lodge banquets and
picnics in all the states east Of the
Rockies these last two years, and the
towns where raisin bread is eaten dot
the landscape as raisins dot the
bread. This year the tourist has had
hearty response to his urging to make
April 30 "raisin day" throughout the
country as well as on the Pacific
slope.

The Hope In the Hoe for the City Man
The typical man in the city who
reaches the age of 40 years and finds
himself behind a ledger, or twisting
the handle Of a machine, or selling
another mans merchandise on
salary, has usually put aside the hope
Of going higher and faces future Of
mediocrity-just being what he is.
There are hundreds Of this class, who,
fretted under the restraint of their
employment, have been constantly in
search of something else. Such men
are not Of the inefficient type which
dallies, but Of the capable class who,
failing to develop their imaglnatlOns
to the point Of producing something
new and useful, are nevertheless
searching the future, not for great
financial reward, but for peace hap
piness and contentment.
For such men an allurlng prospect
is found in the farm, and II is to
them that Gardner Mack, in the May
Popular Mechanics Magazine ad-
dresses his plain, impartial con-
slderation of their chances Of success
as farmers. He says:
1.-THE man who isn't farmer at
heart invariably fails on the farm, no
matter how much capital he may have
or how cheaply his experiment with
the soil may be carried on. Nature
will do absolutely nothing for the
man who cannot meet her halfway.
Those who do more than that reap
rich reward for their labCrs. The cry
back to the farm is now almost
nullified by the wall Of the bitter
failures who have sunk their all in a
poorly planned and mlserably exc
cuted attempt to wrest from the earth
It's riches.
Nevertheless, the promise Of peace
and plenty that is held out by the
farm is genuine promise. Farming
is business. 1t must be conducted
as business II much roflt is to be
gained An agricultural expert has
estimated that as a business It is no;
remunerative. that the farms in the
United States do not average more
