Prof. A. w. Palm arose bright and
early Monday morning, went out to
his old Ford standby, cranked the old
thing up, filled the radiator with water,
and started up town faster han Henry

Arrangements are almost completed
for the presentation of THE Messiah"
in Watertown by the Choral Union Of
Bookings according to the following
from the News of that city: The idea
of bringing the State College chorus
in the production of The Messiah" to
this city took on more definite form
last week when the commercial club
and the Ministerial Association of the
city got together and appointed a com
mittee to interview Messrs. Hedge and
Christensen of Bookings anent hav-
ing their chorus present the produc-
ton in this city. The chorus consists
of 200 voices and is accompanied by
an orchestra of t~hirty-ive pieces. 1t is
figured that nearly the entire number
would make the trip to this city. The
chorus has, we understand, agreed to
come for their bare expenses, and it
is figured that the cost will be around
$500. 1.-The Messiah" has never been
produced In this city, and 1t is tho ght
that the music lovers of the city would
be glad of the opportunity of seeing it
to the extent that the required amount
of money could be raised.
