small grain that had been given
up for lost, and makes the pros
pect much better. The farmers
are happy
The damage to the fruit crop
will be very little if any by the
freeze Of last month, and pros
poets for a fine crop are excellent.
This includes apples, prunes and
late cherries.

An Able Address.

One Of the beneficial sessions Of
Com mencement week, not only to
the pupils. but to other people,
was the baccalaureate sermon at
the Methodist church last Sunday
evening, delivered by Rev. Fred
erick @. Redfern, Phi. ID. In his
introduction he emphasized right
beginnings, and followed with a
definition of character and culture,
and that the nation was depend
emit on cultured character. In the
development of character Of
worth, he said to aim to discover
the truth, be disciple of Jesus
Christ, and put yourself under
a christian influence. He said
that service is the purpose of cul-
tured character, and that one
should serve independent of self
ishness, as did David and Bernard,
and with self-sacrifce, as did Liv.
ingston. and Joseph and Father
Damien. He said to serve to the
best of your ability, as did Steph.
enson, Tennyson, Millet and Han
del, and the best of all to serve as
a king and not as slave, courage.

Debussy's New Orchestral Suite,

The orchestral suite by Debussy
called La Printemps, which the Sym
phory society of New York intends to
play in the coming season, Is a new
work as yet unpublished. 1t is not to
Fac. confused with the number Ronde
Images (1909) for orchestra and
which was played by Walter Dam
rosch last year Another work, who'll
ly new in this country at any rate, is
a. symphonic poem by Sir Edward Ell
gar, Falstaff. The composer writes
in a private letter to Mr.. Damrosch
that 1t was inspired not by the Fall
Falstaff Of Henry w and Henry ".
Hence we are to have in music the fat
man, who in spite of all his faults.
we still love the ehro of Gads Hill,
the merry old fellow of the mock
trial, the lonely old mar who OF his
deathbed piucked at the sheets and
babbled OF green fields; not the half
created buffoon who hid in a basket
of asoiled linen and was dumped into
today is better able to set Falstaff TO
music and we nay expect a work In
every way interesting and well done.
Elgar's first symphony is already
known here through the Symphony
society's concerts. Loeffler's VILLAIN
eIle GU Dlaple is relatively new TO
New York. It Is another proof Oh
Loeffler's superb mastery OF style and
of orchestration which entities him
perhaps to the highest place among
American composers. The pro-
,grammes for the year are tosbe both
varied and beautiful, ranging from
the works Of early masters such as
Vivaldi, Bach and Handel down to the
latest, and even unpublished works
of modern composers, an unusually
rich treasury of music.

IN The LABOR WORLD
THE FEDERATION
BOARD MEETING

At the meeting Of the board Of di-
rectors Of the State Federation Of La
Dor at Grand Forks last Sunday, the
question Of the workmen's compensa-
ton and child labor law came up for
discussion. and it was believed that
this state needs a child labor law,
that would stand a test n one that
would be enforced.
The deputy labor commission bill
which was pigeonholed by the former
session Of the legislature three years
ago, was discussed and ar effort will
be made to have 1t brought up again
at the next legislative session.
The board appointed J.. A. Horwitz
Of Fargo and J. C. Baton of Grand
Forks as statisticians to look UP and
gather statistics in this and other
states on child labor and Workmen's
CONDENSATION laws, to have them
compiled and ready to present to the
legislature If necessary.
