THANKSGIVING
TN HARL TON
People of HarIowton Observed
Thanksgiving in an Appro-
pirate Way

1t is safe to say not many towns
celebrated Thanksgiving in more
appropriate way than did our own.
The first meeting of the day was
religious one in the opera house.
w. n. Smith presided.
Rev. Bennett of the M. E. church
read the presidential proclamation
and made remarks on it, empha-
sizing the difference between mere
self congratulation and true
Thanksgiving.
Rev. Ell. G. Klemme of the Pres
byterian church then spoke on the
Spirit of Thanksgiving" He said
the present method of giving
thanks resulted in Thanksgiving
on Thursday and the great day of
atonement on Friday. He empha,
sized the spirit of the first Thanks
giving and pleaded for return to
it.
Prof. Franske of our school then
followed with an admirable talk
on "A Nation Founded in Prayer. !"
The professor pointed out the lead.
ership Of prayerful men in the
crisis of our nation and prophes-
sized it's future destiny.
The last speaker was Father
Ready. His subject was "Gratius
Agamus' and he pointed out the
peril of godlessness. The audience
sang the. Doxology and America
and was dismissed by Rev. KLEIN
me with prayer. ".
A candlelight Puritan service
was held in the evening at the
Presbyterian church. All present
joined in individual expression of
Thanksgiving and a fine meeting
resulted.

per township in favor Of Wheat.
land county. Nearly equal to
Fergus, which is admitted to be
one Of the finest counties in the
state, and two and onethird times
as great as the west end Of
Meagher county.
In conclusion let me state that
the creation of Wheatland county
will be advantageous from every
viewpoint of all those living with.
in the proposed new county. 1t is
very much the contrary with those
who would like to continue to col
lect our taxes and spend the mon
ey in their territory.
The promoters of Wheatland
county come before you with a
clean straightforward proposition.
They want your support in favor
of it. They will put up the bond
for the cost of the election, and if
it lails-they-and not you, will
have to bear the cost of the cleo
tion. The facts of the proposition
are SO good, that the more they
are known, the more votes will be
cast for it. "~M.
Talk it over with your neighbor
and ask what questions you desire
in regards to it. If the first man
you question cannot answer you
satisfactorily, keep on inquiring
until you are satisfied that it is
the best proposition that you ever
had an opportunity to vote for.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GRAND AND COMIC OPERA

Reginald de Koven, composer Of
Robin Hood" which comes to the New
National this week. has composed thirty
five light operas, and Is now at work on
new score. Mr.. de Koven regards
the term comic opera" as misnomer
when used to designate what Is nothing
more th2n musical farce-comedy.
THE terms used to designate the
lighter form of opera" says he. have
become exceedingly mixed. especially in
this country. According to technical
definition the difference between grand
and comic opera lies in the fact that IN
the one the musical numbers are con-
nectec by some one sort OF the various
forms Of recitative, and in the other by
spoken dialogue The term comic opera
has in this country been woefully mis-
used. Indeed. at this day. almost any
thing in a dramatic form with incidental
is dubbed indifferently and inconsequen-
tally a comic opera
IF some basis OF general agreement
could be reached by which the various
terms would be generally applied in the
same way, by taking the whole list OF
terms, a very accurate classification
might be made of all existing operatic
forms, and a Iairly appropriate name
given to each which would distinguish
II rum oil oIHcT SOSndte Oihs-s linus
Aida would be grand opera; Carmen
romantic, or lyric opera; The Barber of
Seville and those operas which are
usually known in France as opera COM
ique.' could be justly termed light operas:
works a little less serious in character.
like The Chimes OF Normandy comedy
operas; while works OF the Gilbert & Sui
Ivan class, as well as most Of those
known in Germany, as operettas, would
be correctly termed comic operas, pure
