IGNORE THE DEMAGOGUE;
 APPEAL 10 THE MAN

Every informed thinking man sees not alone the threatened dangers of but the damage now being wrought by the propagan- da of radlcalism in this country But So few are informed. 1:
 The threatened danger is that the uniformed, led by self seeking, dishonest demagogues. will be swept off their feet by their spacious argument and. thus, the country will be swept into social chaos. The present damage Is that of what we call
 social unrest" strikes destruc- tlon of property, loss of wages a spirit of law defiance, and. worst of all. distrust and class hatred. And as thinking men, we admit both the threatened danger and the present damage. But what are we doing about it?
 There can be but one answer to the foregoing question. h. formed thinking men must make it their business to teach the un- informed thinking man that along the way the demagogues are trying to lead him lies mad ness. The radical leaders are speaking to him every day in lurid page and with poisoning tongue; give him cool reasoning and self-convincing facts as an- tidotes. Ii the threatened dan- gers become facts in this coun- try, the blame will be upon the employers of labor for neglect ing their duty to inform their workmen; if the present damage is suffered to continue, the blame will fall in the same place.

 As has already been annouced in the county papers, this con- vention will meet in annual ses- sion at Salem 2 one-half miles south of Prescott on the 3rd and 4th of July, and every person within ten miles of this place should feel an interest in enter taining that vast throng of sim gers and visitors amounting to possibly 2000 people. Every one is cordially invited to be on hand and help enjoy and entertain your friends.
 Any one who will take care of delegates over Saturday night will notify either of the follow ing committee, telling them the number you can entertain: Dave Mitchell, U. L. Moore. Lee Rog- CTS. Jarrett Ingram. c. c. Cal houn, J. M. Duke, Jas. Horn, Levi Moore, or W. R. Steed

PENSION AFFIDAVITS

County Clerk J. w. Franks wishes to inform the pensioners of Nevada county, that he will not require the affidavits as are being sent out by some county clerks, but will send out cards for the pensioners to sign as has been the custom in the past. Upon receipt of the affidavits he took the matter up with the state auditor and received the following letter:
 Hon. J. w. Franks,
 Prescott. Arkansas.
 Dear Sir
 In reply to yours of recent date, asking our opinion as to the use of the pensioners annual affidavit blanks, which were sent you, l will say that these blanks have been printed to comply with the new pension law, Lut the State Pension Board is of the opinion that the matter should be left to the discretion of the County Clerks, and that part of the blank in regard to the indi- gency and disability of the pen sioner, should be used only in most cases. The Board is of the opinion that if you are satisfied as to the proof you receive from each pensioner, that he is enti- tied to remain on the list. that you should report the same to the Board and the State Board will be entirely satisfied, and pensioners reported by you to be entitled to remain on your list will be left there by the Board. However, we have advised the different County Clerks to use their own good judgment and discretion in this matter.
 Yours very truly.

Think of debt as you would of a pestilence, and most of all avoid
 time prices. 7" If you must go into debt try to borrow money at 6 to 8 per cent, put it in the bank and pay the actual cold cash for what you need. Better pay at the rate of 10 per cent a year in intrest than at the rate of 30 to 70 per cent a year in time prices. And if there is anything else quite as bad for keeping you in debt as time prices, 1t is usnally the prices asked by trav- cling agents. The ck-tongued agent has made millions of us pay two prices for things we didn't half need. It's a safe rule to never buy anything from an agent till you have had a week 10 think it over.

THE NEVADA COUNTY
 SINGING CONVENTION

IL IS nOS my purpose t0 annOu- nee the annual meeting of this body (as it has already been done by the efficient president, Prof. A. F. Galloway, thru the county papers, but it is my intention to call the attention to some of the efficient work that has been accomplished throug it's influence since it's organization. More than twenty years ago, few of the stick-breakers of the country, seeing the need of better music and deeper and broader inter- est in the cause, got their heads together and organized the Ne vada County Singing Convention the purpose of this convention to promote the interest of vocal, and instrumental music in Me- vada County. At this time there were very few musical instrum- ents in inc country homes, so far 1 know there was not church tn Nevada county (outside of the towns) that had an organ in it's house, at this time a great many good men and women thought it sinful to use any kind of a mus ical instrument in church wor- ship. There few good people who are cranky on this line yet.
 In my memory serves me right, there were only seven persons in the organization of this body: Judge Harris, J. B. Hannah, R. o. Westmorland, J. W. Holloway, R. c. Bright, Tom Easterling and myself. At this time it was difficult to get a dog. en men in the county who could direct music in any way, sanC there was no such thing as an organist in the country, it was also difficult to get a dozen per sons in most communities to even make an effort at singing. l nave been at all-day singings where there would not be more than three or four who would at tempt to direct, even more: nave attended all-day singings where DO one would attempt to assist me in directing. 1 have stood on the floor all day and di- rected. At one time when the Convention met at Boughton, there were only two directors or the ground, that of J. w. Hol. loway and myself. I mention these incidents and conditions simply to show the contrast | (musically) then and now.
 In the past two years 1 have visited score or more all-day singings where each director was allowed to direct only two pieces. 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. and in not single instance have we been able to use all the leaders on the ground, in the six hours Twenty years ago out of all the teachers in the county not one could carry his student fur ther than the rudiments. or the primary grade, but it is different now. After twenty years of work and study under such emi- nent musicians as Prof. A. J. Showalter, J. D. Patton. K. c. Robertson, ii. N. Lincoln and others. Nevada County has a number of graduates. normal and first grade teachers. who are not only teaching primary grades but are teaching Harmony, and composition, sight reading. ear traning, voice piano. organ. gui- tar, violin, etc.
 It is no longer necessary to send your boy or girl away for these studies. You can get them at home in Nevada county at a nominal cost. There is sc- arcely church in all the country that has not an organ or piano

'$46,0s6,4 5S COINED IN
1915, SAYS MINT HEAD
Report Shows $I26.224.600 in New
York Office During First -Four
Months of 1916.

Complete data as to the movements of
gold to and from the United States in
the critical days following the outbreak
OF the European war and in the later
period in which Europe has become
debtor to us are given in the annual re-
port Of Director Of the Mint Wooley.
made public yesterday. The Director
announces that since July I, 1915. the
volume Of business has increased so
steadily and 80 rapidly that the records
show the total value Of the deposits at
the New York assay offices for the first
four months Of the fiscal year 1916 to be
$l26 500. nearly as much as the tital
deposits for the entire fiscal year 1905
which heretofore had been the banner
for the New York assay ONCE.
Director Wooley characterixes the
fiscal year 1916 as the most eventful in
the history Of the mint service. The mint
at San Francisco. he says, received be-
tween April l and November I, 1915. more
than S0.000.0O0 in foreign gold coin and
bullion from Australia. Japan and China,
as compared with a.34S0Oo during the
calendar year 1914 Very little Of the
foreign gold received has been in fine
bars, according to the report. but the
major portion has been in coin, chiefly
British sovereigns and japanese yen.
The total coinage Of the government
for the fiscal year amounted to $46, 0s6 l5s,
of which SAC. 81 was gold, s.. O32 was
silver. sl.TS,776 was nickel and SIS, ssl
was bronze
