Der 7, 8, 9 and 10, being Tuesday to

to the exhibits, meeting all the condi-
tons that have arisen since the
changes made several years ago. The
woman's department will be revised so

show and we want all the people of
the county to feel that they have a
hand in it. If any one has any sugges-
tons to make, they will be gladly con-

think that you can help the fair in any
way, just write me and tell us about
it." So if any of our readers would

1t was very interesting to the club
members and several stated that it
had cleared up many points of doubt
in their minds. A rising vote of thanks
was rendered Prof. Mathews.
Prof. Larsen thought that the paper
was so good that it should ue printed
in phamphlet form by the club. Alder
man Hoy said that this was a splen-
did idea and that he thought the city
council would cooperate with the club
in paying part of the expense. The
matter was put up to the publicity COM
mittee.
Alderman Hoy said that he would
like to get an expression from the club
members as to the ACCESSIBILITY of en-
larging and overhauling the power
plant, moving it to another site or
building a new one. 1t is a question
which not many of the members have
given much thought to, and it was put
over until the next meeting.
There being no further business ad-
journment was taken for a nice lunch,
served by Hubbart's restaurant.

GOVERNOR YIELDS AXE

Governor Byrne exercised his light
to disapprove any portion of a bill by
cutting out of the general apprOpria-
ton bill SIT 1000 for the insurance de-
partment on the ground that the law
requires the expenditures OF that de-
partment to be from the receipts in
stead of by general appropriation.
Eighteen thousand dollars was cut
out of the appropriation for the state
militia, $4,000 out of the %appropria-
ton for the railway department, and
$4,000 for the carrying out the pro-
visions of the primary law was cut
out of that bill.
Besides the cuts in the general bill,
he vetoed a deficiency of $1,000 for Inc
blue sky" department, on the grounds
that the law limits the expenditures of
that department to the receipts. One
thousand dollars for livestock at the
Cottonwood experiment farm was
taken out, on the grounds that it is
not advisable to attempt livestock *
pertinent work at the scattered sta
tons.
He disapproved house bill 1877, which
sought to change the time of beginning
of the term of Office of county superin-
tendents of schools to June instead of
January, on the ground that the law as
enacted is indefinite and would lead
to confusion, and house bill $50, which
sought to relieve small town halls
from fastening seats to the floor was
disapproved on the grounds that such
would be too dangerous a practice.
The total appropriations for all pur-
poses for the session are given at
$3,476,472.83, a reduction of 62,237.38
from the appropriation of two years
ago.

AN INTERESTING MEETING

The regular monthly meeting of the
Civic League was held last Friday af-
ternoon in the rooms Of the CONNER
cial Club. Several matters Of import
ant business were taken up. One of
the most interesting items was the able
report given by the committee who
had charge of the informal ballots re-
garding the nature Of the work to be
undertaken by the league for the COM
ing year. Much interesting discussion
followed. Lack of time prevented COM
plete consideration of the report, the
remaining points Of which will be
placed before the league at the April
meeting. Every member should be
present at that time.
A delightful May Party" is being
planned for league members and

might reign among men. During Thy
life on earth Thy heart did beat with
tender compassion for the sorrows of
men; is this hour, made terrible with
burning hate; with blood-shed and with
slaughter, once more may Thy divine
heart be moved to pity the countless
mothers in anguish for the fate of their
sons; pity the n~umberless families now
bereaved of their fathers; pity Europe
over which broods such havoc and
disaster. Do Thou inspire rulers and
peoples with counsels of meekness; do
Thou heal the discords that they might
live as brothers, bring men together
once more in loving harmony. And
as once before to the cry of the Apos-
tie Peter: Save us, Lord, we perish
Thou dids't answer with words of
mercy and dids't still the raging waves,
SO now deign to hear our trustful
prayer and give back to the world
peace and tranquility.
And do Thou, o, most Holy Virgin,
as in other times of sore distress, be
now our help, our protection and our
safeguard. Amen"

for peace in Europe. This service is
held by order of Pope Benedict and

which is bringing ruin to peoples and
nations, we turn, o Jesus, to Thy most
loving heart as to our last hope. 0,
God of mercy, with tears we jnvoke
Thee to end this fearful scourge; o,
King of Peace, We humbly implore the
peace for which we long. From Thy
sacred heart Thou didst shed forth
over the earth divine charity so that
discord might end and love alone

O PAYS WELL

In 1910 John Haag bought a heifer Is
months old for $1,000. He kept the
animal until his auction sale March
4th. Just out of curiosity he kept an
account of what the COW and her Off
spring brought at the sale. The COW
sold at $51, her first calf at $50, the sec
ond at $49.5O, the. third at $33.75, and
the fourth at $14; the first heifer calf
gave two calves that sold at $21.50 and
$3.50, or a total of $238.25 in less than
five years. For three years he had the
milk from one COW and for two years
he had the milk from two cows to pay
for labor and feed. 1t simply shows

Musicale a Grand Success.

iuSlSdlC e VI Hiih StGNNS9s
 One of the most artistic musical successes Of the season was the chalmingly rendered Grieg program of the Musical Art Club in ope1 ses- sion last evening at the Buckstaft Ba hs.
 The commodious music room was hardly spacious enough for the large, appreciatiye audience ia attendance.
 The program was splen1idly opened by Mrs. J. F. Manier and Mir. Franz Dierica in a violin and viola duet, which was one of the special features of the even!n~.
 Mrs Manier has long since won her way 10 the heart of every music lover ia the city by her lovely music and is the well known leader in local musical circles.
 Mir Dierich. who played the viola in due twith Mrs Manier, is a new cAmei to Hot Springs and is consid- cred the most finished musician In the city. He was at the head of the conservatory Of music in Melbourne. Australia. director for three years of the St. Paul Symphony, and connect ed with the Little Rock conservatory of music until this winetr, when he was secured by Prof Graham for the Eastman orchestra. His playing last evening was in keeping with the long list of musical successes in his career. Hot Springs is fortunate in securing this finished musician of note
 Mrs C M Roberts read splendid ly prepared biography of Grieg in a clear voice that reached every lis tener.
 The piano solo by Mrs. I,ma cAinski Hogue was especially en joyed for the dash and brilliancy of execution
 Mrs Claude Marsh played a lovely piano solo in excellent style
 feature of the evening was the violin and piano 0uet by Miss Adele Johnson and Mrs Sydney Mutt. This number was distinct success and heartily encored by an enthusiastic audience. These ladies memorize and master their music in a really re markable manner The pieces were difficult and seaglhty.
 Miss Juanita Gilliam's rich con tlalto voice was Ileard in solo and as usual, delighetd her audience.
 Miss Josephine Brown played a pretty piano solo, gro Spring" which elicited applause
 Miss Madge Witt sang excellently well and her lovely voice showed thc usual mellow tones which has placed her in the front rank of local vocal ists.
 Miss Mary Jane Fialey's sweet natural soprano voice was heard in solo and the audience applauded until she responded with an encore. The second number was much better adapted to her voice and style and was considered one of the especial treats of the evening.
 The piano solo, "Grieg's Wedding Day" by Mrs. Walter L.. Cain, was beautifully rendered. showing her to ha one of the most finished. polished musicians in the city. She is an ac. quisition to the Musical Art Club and a musician of which the city should be proud.
