THE CHAUTAUOUA

One of the most excellent programmes of
the term was offered the Chatauqua Circle
at o. p. last Sunday, consisting of three
excellent and splendidly delivered papers,
discussion of same and a vocal solo by
Mr.. G.
Business was transacted, after which the
members listened attentively to paper by
Mr.. on Evolution of Music and Musical
Instruments.
He took us back to the time when the
Chinese started the evolution of music by
three minor tones used in their daily voca-
bulary, up to the present time of player
pianos. He introduced the names of great
composers and musicians from Wagner,
Bach, and Beethoven to Sousa. Much dis
cussion followed his conclusion.
Mr.. G. further impressed us with the
stability and essentially of music by sing
ing Peg O. My Heart.
The most intensely interesting paper that
has ever been read before the circle for a
long time was that of Mr.. Fs on Russian
Government and the Russian lew. The
recent newspaper elaboration of the Belss
case in Russia, stirred all the members to
the closest attention as Mr.. F. told with
the vividness of experience, the horrible
tragedies constantly occurring in Russia and
the persecution of the Jews. So realistic
and earnest was the writer in his word pic
ture that his delivery was in the highest
pitch. He saved the situation by relieving
the tenseness at his conclusion by saying,
IF you want to enjoy yourself, go to Rus
STA and hunt Jews, for that is the national
pastime.'
Mr.. l. paper on Progress of Practical
ElectricS, was interesting but owing to the
lack of time could not do the subject justice.
He emphasized the probability of entire
domestic uses of electricity in U. S. soon,
thus eliminating the increasing cost of
coal, etc.
This paper concluded the program which
everyone was benefited by and enjoyed to
the utmost.

John.
Washington Slim, paint mixer, is the
busy man these days. He is boiling seat
boards as side issue to his regular job.
Happy Hoolgan likes to crate binders
all right. He says: Jaw faint nothin
| to wot usta do when was in tn navy
George r. says he used to wonder what
people meant when they said: ''Let

understudy to Procrastination Pete on the
runner job.
Has the Mirror family room for another
shop contributor? There are so many in
teresting shop notes now being sent in
that we know the editor must be crowded
for space, We'll make try anyway.
SAM Cam is turning out fifty packed
binder crates, six days week. Nobody
envies him the job, as no one else here
abouts can handle it: Sam isn't exactly
fond of work, but he sure can do it in
pinch.
Dutch Charlie, artist extraordinary to
the paint department, recently painted
new signs on the proof doors between
shops B and E, and between shops A and
d. Like all Charles work it was first
class job.
Pendennis is now in full swing on the
boxes of iron work for harvesters This
is the most difficult, as well as the most
important packing job. and Foreman
Plaster surely has got the right man for it
in Pendennis.
Say Slivers, ''ladies' tenor isn't any,
thing. There's a gink hereabouts who
thinks he is the whole Metropolitan Opera
Company; yea, and Oscar Hammerstein
conducting! He can do the only real imi-
tation of choir practice now playing this
circuit.
Shaggy, chief of staff in the assembling
room, can put his finger on the right bolt
or casting for every piece of work turned
out by that department, on the minute.
He claims he can say the 1914 catalogue
backwards is willing to deliver the

An envious rival once said of Turner's
pictures, that the paint had been thrown
on with dipper. That is the way most
of the Minnesota" farm machinery is
painted. Parts of machines are set into
large sheet iron vat containing 80 or 40
gallons of paint, which is doused over the
machine with a cup. By this method one
man can do as much work and better
work than four brush hands can do. 1t
is planned, when the farm machinery de-
partment removes to the new prison, to
install air hoists. and watts large enough to
submerge most of the machine parts.
Such parts as, from the nature of their
construction, cannot be dipped, will be
painted with spraying machine operated
by compressed air, if present plans work
out all right. That none of the daubers
will kick at this is one sure cinch.
