Mrs. Murphy's Musical.

Las; Friday evening occurred one Of
lhc finest musicals 1, has ever been
the writer's opportunity TO hear from
Il class of young people. Think Of IT,,
thirty young children and high school
pupils playing classical music. and
playing It we'll.
Mrs, Murphy has long been rccog.
niIed among the school people rs one
of the tines, primary teachers in the
state. Only last month prominent
judge IT a large western city asked
the writer II II would he possible to

The invited guests found that she
MAS also a very proficient music
teacher.
Each CUES, could but notice the per-
feet technique displayed 10y each pupil:
perfect time, perfect position, perfect
manipulat ions. The teacher was I'M
pre'entious, bu, kept an eagle eye up
on each player.
! could but think how grand II was
for the children OF rich and poor alike
TO receive a musical education. Some.
time In the future the public schools
will teach music In place OF much we
now teach; sometime the schools will
learn that preparing pupils SO that
their lives may be happier Is of more
Importance than Trigonometry, etc.

class and each rendered their part
beautifully: Pauline Ruley, Virginia

A Remarkable Case.

On the first Of the month, Glen, the
one.year.old infant son Of Foster
Crowell and wife, fell of the kitchen
table and injured its backbone by
81 riking on a square bottle laying on
the iloor. Dr. Evans was called and
advised letting the baby be confined
to its crib on hard mattress and
wait for developments. IL wasevident
that the spine vas injured, but as the
baby could move It's legs, just how
much was not known. After wait ing
ten days. /, was decided To take It to
81. Joseph, and have an N-ray photo
taken and see just what was the
matter The N.ray showed that a
three.cornered piece had been broken
OIL from one Of the lower bones that
form the spinal column, and II also
showed large blood clot, where the
bruise from striking the bottle had
been. After three or four surgeons
had ST udied the photograph and con.
suited over the case, the child was
taken to the Ellsworth hospital and
pr. W. +. Schmid operated on It..
About one pint Of blood and pus was
taken out and little Glen was sent
back under Dr. Evans care, and is on
the road to recovery. The physicians
say 1t was peculiar accident and had
them all guessing until the N-ray re-
vealed the true condition. We truly
live In q wonderful age.

Had Them All Guessing.

Mrs. VIII Markt, Mrs. Jacob Buntz
and Mrs. George Patterson, who are
members Of that popular club Of Ia.
dies, so well known as the "Clover
Leaf Country Club" had q bright
idea last week, and AT once carried
said idea out. As II happens, their
birthdays are all In March, so they
came to the unanimous conclusion
that II would he a good plan to get
up Il surprise on the other members
OF the Club, and they chose Monday,
March IL, as the date, st. l'atrick's
day, and accordingly sent In invita-.
Club to meet at Box ~, Route :, at
u M, on the above date. And such
q time as they had, in locating BOX
~, Route =, was a caution. They
kept the telephone wires shot" to
Link Skaters residence, the carrier
on this route. trying TO find out who
lived at this number. Link, good
naturedly answered all calls and In
formed them II was the residence OF
Mrs. Jacob Buntz.
In order to gain entrance, each
member was requested to wear as a
means OF identiiication,a bright green
ribbon, and II Is needless to state
that every member "wore the green,''
consequently gained admittance with
out any protest.
An enjoyable time, IN every sense
Of that word was had, and a spread
Of good things to eat, such as only
members Of this Club can prepare,
was served to all present, and besides
this program, consisting of music,
instrumental and vocal, and topics
Of interest were discussed by all pres
ent.
And to "cap the climax" when
Mr.. Shafer, tie carrier, arrived at
"Box o." he was really held up" by
the members OF the Club, who liter
ally loaded him down with good
things to eat, in order to partly make
amends for calling him up so often
to ask where "Box 81" was located.

Uncle Sam, Timber
Merchant.

Opponents Of conservation have
criticized the governments forest
policy as preventing the development
OF the country. In view OF this criti.
cism interest attaches to the meth
DDS adopted by the Forest Service in
disposing Of timber on the Kaniksu
National Forest In Idaho. II is pro.
posed to sell 267 million feet.
An elaborate prospectus has been
prepared by the service to furnish
Information to lumbermen who might
be interested In bidding. Estimates
are worked out to show the cost of
logging, and the minimum price pro-
posed Is expected to yield a net profit
OF IL per cent to the bidder. The
Forest Service explains that the risks
are so great that a high return H.
necessary to induce operators TO un-
dertake such an enterprise.
An unusual feature of this sale IL
the fact that part Of the forest area
To he cleared Is to be opened to home.
stead entry later for agricultural pur-
poses. II the timber we're not cleared
OIL before the opening Of the land the
value Of the timber would cause the
land to be held spcculativcly instead
Of being cleared for farms. But the
Forest Service believes this land will
De better employed growing farm
crops than growing timber. So II Is
TO he put into the hands of settlers
who will develop 1t.
For this particular sale the govern
ment expects to receive about $780,
600. OF which 1925 900 will go to the
school and road fund of the state.
The procedure illustrates what the
government Is doing In It's Forest
Service to conserve the country's re-
sources. II is opening up the forests
for sale rs soon rs they are ready. IL
Is getting fair price for the people
instead OF permitting the timber to
be grabbed by spectators. II is tax.
Ing care that the land shall be devel.
oped In the way that will be Of most
benefit to the country, instead Of
leaving II TO syndicates that are In.
tcrested merely In speculative profits.
II Is sharing the proceeds with the
states.
This sort OF thing Is real conserya-
ton. 1t is opposed by the specula-
tors who would profit from the Grip
pling Of the Forest Service.
