St. Johns Church choir With Add
tionaf Singers viii Give Pro-
oram This Evening.

Maunder's beautiful sacred oratorio
from Oliyet to Calvary will be sung
by the choir Of st. Johns church, re.
inforced by a number Of prominent
keokuk singers, on Sunday evening
at 7:45 o'clock. This cantata Is con-
sidered one of the most striking o.
such compositions and conveys a
great spiritual message and uplift
which very properly introduces holy
week. The soloists assisting in this
production are Mr.. William Smith Of
Quincy, an old Keokuk boy, who has
gained great reputation as a baritone
soloist: Mr.. James Young. one OF
Keokuk's pleasantest singers, and Nc.
frank =. Fuller, whose voice has
been too seldom heard since his resi-
dence here. From Olivet to Calvary
is rendered under the direction Of Mr..
Fuller, organist and choirmaster, and
will be among the last of Mr.. Fullerb
work in that parish, as his resisna-
ton has been rendered, to take eff
feet shortly after Easter. The public
generally is invited to this service,
and will be gladly welcomed by par
is-ioners of st. Johns.

=. for Musical
Event.

The fifth national convention of
the Young Women's Christian asso-
Citations Of the United States will be
held at Los Angeles. Calf, opening
On Wednesday afternoon, May 5, and
closing on Monday evening, May 10,
and will no doubt prove notable
event in the history of this commend
able organization.
Los Angeles is rich with history,
tradition and romance. It is an old
city, founded in 1881 by Felipe de
Mere, governor Of California. By
authority of the king Of Spain It was
made base of supplies for the mis-
sions and presidios Of Southern Cali
fornia. In 1857 Father Junipero Sierra
Of the franciscan order, began the
establishment of chain Of missions,
extending from San Diego to San
Francisco; these missions still stand,
as memories to the heroic life OF
Father Junipero. Connecting them is
the famous Ell Canine Real-the
kings highway-which Is now used
as public road. Picturesque guide
posts, facsimiles of the mission bells,
still point the way, just as they did
for the gray-frocked Franciscan padres
years ago. Notable among the mis-
sions and easily accessible from Los
is San Gabriel, known for
its chimes of Spanish bells. The vii
lage Of San Gabriel is called the
Oberammergau OF America. With the
as a setting. a play is given
throughout the year, depicting the
history of the missions from the first
heroic days and their fiourishing
years to their tragic period of decad-
ence.
In this connection it may be pointed
out that Los Angeles is the center Of
many suburban towns One OF the
finest trolley lines in the world con-
meets these towns with Los Angeles.
Contiguous to II are the pretty and
peaceful residential cities of Pasadena
and Hollywood and the beach cities Of
Venice, Santa Monica, Redondo and

INSPIRATION OF
The COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
paytment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that is the inspira-
ton of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. It is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection OF nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power.
I These products as food are fit for
: the gods, and as an article Of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod.
els for growth OF character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity aud we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta, for example-they were
/ fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want Of a
market and as a result hundreds Of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cos. 81 production.
II is great TO wander througS tkS
exhibits while the band Is playing
Dixie and boast Of the marvellous
fertility Of the sell and pride ourselves
on our ability TO master science, but
Il is also well to remember that there
is q market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at q county fair.
