The recently rebuilt organ of the
First Presbyterian church, which has
been made into a thoroughly modern
instrument, was formally dedicated
Sunday, In a special service of song
and praise. The Rev. Joseph A.
Vance said: 1T is no accident that
the great musical masterpieces are
treatments OF religious themes. and
that the great composers OF our ora
torios and anthems are from Christian
nations. AS we dedicate this organ
TO God, let its music be praise, It's
meditation be holy communion. and
It's melodies move us TO holy living"

Birds In Panama Canal Zone.

The bird resources of the canal zone evidently are of much importance. Possibly if they are properly conserved they will become one of the valuable assets of the United States. Having permitted so much reckless bird slaughter in this country that insect pests are increasing at an alarming rate 1t would be well to take care of the birds that have been added to our national possessions by reason Of the acquisition of section of Panama Louisville Courier-Journal.

To the Editor of the Patriot:

To the Editor of the Patriot:
 The fact that III ballots out of the total cast al the recent town election in Putnam were rejected, for one cause or another, is reported by the press, |. C. ten per cent lost their voice in the general result
 Al the November election, that pro portion of failure, carried through the State, might easily change the con- pleNion ot the State Officers or the ma. lority in one or both Houses Iof the Le- gislatufe. Now it is a shame, fl not scandal, that this loss should be en. tailed on voter who is in earnest.
 ltis not because he Is foreign born or ignorant of our language Is 1t not, rather, because he doesn't take the ue- cessary time, or is ltot permitted in a crowd to take it, 10 study the intrica. cies of our present absurd blank?
 Those who have been tinkering the form in recent Legislatures nave talked about the "Australian Ballot, !" but have seemed too anxious toikeep the voter on the line of the Straight Party Ticket. After voting in my own town l was told that l had probably lost the counting; why? because, for seeth, had omitted few names in the party column and (therefore) omitted crossing the circle at the top. won't [ believe was wrong.
